Prank Night (2026) Movie Script
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
(GRUNTING, YELLING)
(SCREAMS)
LEX: Oh, what did I do?
Oh God, what did I do?
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
(SOBBING)
You're okay. It's okay.
You did what you had to do.
LEX:
You did what you had to do.
Yeah, but I used chicken thighs
instead of chicken breasts,
and the kids just love it.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
They clean their plate
every time.
Okay, but do you think
it would work with turkey?
- I don't see why not.
- (LAUGHING)
RACHEL: You might have
to add some more liquid,
because the turkey can get dry.
(EXHALES)
SUZANNE: And it's
French dressing, you say?
Well, the original recipe calls
for Thousand Island,
but I prefer French dressing.
JAKE: Was that a... is
that another fat joke?
RAND:
You drunk fuck.
- You fucking idiot, Jake.
- What?
What the fuck, dude?
Um, excuse me?
Could you take the volume down
a notch and watch your language?
My friend and I are trying
to have a conversation.
(LAUGHING)
Hey, hey.
Look, um, I apologize
for my friends.
Sometimes they can get
a little out of control.
(LAUGHING)
Maybe I should just tighten
the leash a little, huh?
What do you say?
Uh, it's no problem really.
It's just...
Thank you.
Seriously?
(SCOFFS)
SUZANNE:
Awkward.
If those were my kids...
(INDISTINCT SPEECH)
Just ignore it.
Just ignore it.
(LAUGHING)
Don't.
It's not worth it.
- Are you kidding me?
- I know, but...
(INDISTINCT SPEECH)
Like so fr... Oh, okay.
(LAUGHING)
Honestly, just let it go.
Let's just go, let's just go.
Uh, excuse me?
Did you just...
Whoa, hey.
Nice tits, grandma.
(LAUGHS)
Yeah, yeah.
I really like your boobs.
Nice.
Would you talk about
your mom that way?
No.
No, but he'd talk about
your mom that way?
(LAUGHING)
Excuse me, do you happen to
have a problem with your seat?
(JAKE AND STEVEN LAUGHING)
Because if there is,
then I would suggest you go
and sit back down right now.
That is, of course,
unless you're looking
for another place to sit,
because hell,
if that's the case,
I can find something
for you to sit on.
(JAKE CHUCKLING)
RACHEL:
Let's just go.
You know,
my face is available, too.
- (JAKE AND STEVEN CHUCKLING)
- Oh my God.
You wish.
Just grow up.
(LAUGHING)
RAND: Come on,
ladies. Where you going?
Hey, you guys need to leave now.
The fuck did you just say?
You heard me, punk.
Your time's up.
Get out of my place
before I call the cops.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Go have a seat, okay?
Yeah.
It's all good, buddy, okay?
In fact, we were just
on our way out.
I apologize
for any inconvenience.
You got two minutes to pack up
and get the hell out.
Wait outside.
My friend, just wanted
to again apologize
for all the,
the commotion over there.
In fact, I wanted to grab
some snacks before I left,
and goddamn,
those donuts smell good,
don't they?
So, you wouldn't happen
to have any Boston cream
over there now, would you?
You know, on second thought,
I think I'm gonna have
to skip those donuts.
After all, you don't become
this hot,
super-ripped sexy beast
like myself
by shoveling shit like that
in your mouth, now do you?
Get out.
Hey, I'm gone.
Poof.
(COUGHING)
(CHOKING, COUGHING)
(SCREAMS)
()
- Hey, Honey.
- Hi.
Oh, hey,
let me help you with those.
Thank you!
This one.
- Okay.
- That one.
Wow!
Did you buy the whole store?
Uh, not quite,
but I did get
all of your favorite treats.
The uh, gluten-free buns.
Your favorite sugar-free pop.
I know how much you love that.
Oh, and I even got...
Where are they?
Your vegan chicken wings.
Ugh,
did you buy anything edible?
Funny you should mention that,
because I did.
I thought I saw
a king-sized Snickers bar.
Okay, don't even tease me.
Is there actually
a king-sized Snickers
in one of these bags?
Well, you're just gonna have
to find out, aren't you?
(CHUCKLES)
All right,
guess I better get started then.
()
I'll get that for you.
Do you need a hand?
Oh, these things can be heavy.
Ah! Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!
You're gonna break my wrist.
I should.
What is wrong with you?
Ah! I'm sorry!
It was a mistake.
Remind me,
now I know that you told me
and I should've written it
down, but uh,
Lex's favorite ice cream,
butterscotch ripple?
- It is indeed.
- Okay, good.
Now, hang on a second.
Is that real ice cream
or is that,
that butterscotchy flavored
dairy-adjacent garbage
you normally buy?
It's the real thing.
Ah, so she gets real ice cream.
What do I get?
What do I get?
Oh, what do we got here?
Uh...
Ooh, "Cousin Anna's Gluten-Free
Dessert Sticks"?
Correct, yeah.
Why do you hate me?
Stop!
Well.
(GRUNTS, CHUCKLES)
You can go now.
Don't even think about giving me
a bad rating or I will find you.
I just really,
really gotta go all out
for her this time, you know?
Lest I give off
wicked step-mother vibes again.
Well, if it gives you
any consolation,
I do have a fairy tale fetish.
Oh, hey.
No, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Hey, hey, hey, I was kidding.
- It's okay.
- Uh...
It's okay, it's okay.
There is no reason
for you to worry.
Just after last time...
You're worrying about nothing.
(SIGHS)
Okay, girl,
get your shit together.
Just really want Lex
to feel comfortable here
in her home that was her home
before it was my home.
I just want her to be happy
here in her home.
You just need to tell her that.
- I know.
- Okay.
I will.
I have a whole plan.
Oh, well, looks like
you're gonna get your chance
sooner than you expected.
Hey.
Pumpkin!
(CHUCKLES)
Lex.
Joyce.
Welcome home, sweetheart.
So it looks like you've been
taking good care of my dad.
I don't know if I've ever
seen him looking so fit.
Yes, you noticed!
Thank you.
It's a bit of a struggle,
keeping him
on the straight and narrow,
but you know...
Okay, if you two ladies
will excuse me,
I will be in the kitchen
unpacking groceries.
There is a giant Snickers bar
in one of those bags
with my name on it.
Not if I find it first!
(GIGGLING)
Seems to be going well so far.
Yeah, yes, yeah.
I'm... I'm gonna take her out
for coffee and have like,
a really good talk
when the time is right.
But yes, for now,
let's just enjoy the moment.
(CHUCKLES)
(CHUCKLES)
Hey, Cosette.
Cosette?
Cosette!
(GIGGLING)
Ta-da!
(GIGGLING)
None other, in the flesh.
(LAUGHING)
Mm, good to see you, bitch.
Likewise, tramp.
I thought you weren't getting in
till tomorrow.
My flight got canceled,
but I was able to rebook
on an earlier direct flight.
No five-hour layover and boom!
Here I am.
Still living that charmed life,
I see.
Not totally charmed.
Oh, how so?
I still have a rotten bitch
for a best friend.
(LAUGHING)
Well, um, you feel like
spending some time
with this rotten bitch tonight?
Oh, uh, gee, I'd love to,
but I just got back
and I'm sure my dad
has something planned.
Oh, if you wanna go out,
that's fine by us.
Oh, okay.
Well, I guess I can come out
and play.
Noice!
Okay,
I'll let you get freshened up.
I'll go change,
be back in like, an hour or so?
Wow.
My kingdom for one-tenth
of her energy.
Are you sure it's okay
if I go out?
Absolutely.
I wouldn't be late or anything.
Just take a set of keys
and then try not to wake us up
when you get home.
Thanks, daddy.
You're the best.
Hmm.
You're pretty great, too.
Okay, I'm gonna go get changed.
Oh. Thanks, dad.
(INDISTINCT SPEECH)
See, you were worried
for nothing.
I know.
You're right.
- For once.
- (LAUGHS)
Okay, Mr. Know-It-All.
Now, um, since Lex
is going out tonight,
do you mind if you go
to the bakery
and pick up the cake?
While I could actually make it
to yoga.
Uh, sure.
Uh, you can owe me a favor.
Okay, I will.
I won't shower
till you come home.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I'll need someone
to wash my back.
Also my front.
Oh, well, in that case,
I will definitely pick up
that cake, yeah.
Okay.
In that case,
I will go and get ready.
Sounds like a plan.
Hey, hey.
Have I told you today
that I love you?
Yes, but I'll hear it again.
I love you.
(GIGGLE)
JOYCE:
Lex, Cosette is here!
LEX:
Coming!
Presenting,
in her hometown return tour,
Lex Bowen!
Woo!
(GIGGLING)
Yeah, you guys better
get a motor.
Parking downtown is
a hot commodity these days.
You are right, Mrs. B.
Let's go.
Uh, be right out.
Um, are you sure you're okay
with me going out?
Oh, g... gosh, yes, of course.
Of course.
Besides, I don't think Cosette's
gonna take no for an answer.
(CHUCKLES)
Thanks.
Yeah, if... if you do get
a... a moment,
I would really love
to take you out for,
uh, coffee and just, um...
I have some things
I would like to say.
Me too.
(CHUCKLES)
Go, go, go, go.
Have fun. Yay! Woo!
Yeah, yeah.
I wonder if it's still good.
(INDISTINCT CHATTING, LAUGHING)
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, shit.
Is that?
Yeah.
Yeah, it is.
Um...
Hey!
Hey, you.
Uh, long time no see.
So, uh, what?... What's up?
Are we... are we still
going out tonight?
Yeah.
Um, I... I forgot we had plans.
Lex just got back
and we have some catching up
to do, so...
Yeah. Uh, cool.
Uh, shall we make it
The Three Musketeers
instead of the dynamic duo?
Uh...
You know,
I was really looking forward
to a Harley
and Ivy kind of evening.
Girl shit, you know?
But we could go out
tomorrow night?
Uh, yeah.
Oh, oka... okay then.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Great.
Been busy
while I've been away, I see.
Yeah.
Um, about that...
Why don't you tell me
all the sordid details
over a beer?
Beer? Gross.
A rail of blow then?
Maybe off the back
of a filthy truck-stop toilet?
Oh! Now you're talking.
()
RAND:
That's the place.
Scoping it out for a while now.
I got a see inside when I was
on the landscaping crew
next door.
They're loaded.
Maybe tonight won't be
such a write-off after all.
Hmm.
Do you think
this is a good idea?
I thought the idea
was to hit empty houses.
She's alone.
It'll be easy.
Look, I just... I don't think
that this is like...
RAND: You know, I
don't remember this part.
What part?
The part where I asked
for your opinion.
(JAKE CHUCKLES)
It'll be fine.
Migraines again?
Why don't you go on?
It's fine.
Hey, can you help me?
(INDISTINCT SPEECH)
(MUFFLED SCREAMS)
I need you to pay attention
and listen very, very closely.
My partner here is gonna remove
his hand from your mouth.
If you scream, you die.
I'm then gonna ask you
some questions.
If you lie
you die.
Now, if you run,
you die slow.
Do you understand me?
Nod your head if you do.
Good. Good.
Now
you look like a very
well-educated woman,
so you've probably already
guessed why we're here.
Hmm?
My purse, it's in the...
It's in the laundry room
just over there.
Go get it.
Are there
any other small valuables
we should know about?
Wall safes? Cash?
I ha... I have a... a jewelry box
in the bedroom
ups... upstairs there.
And my husband has some cash
in the uh...
On his bedside table.
Take her to another room.
Keep her quiet.
Let's go.
Huh? Wha...
O... okay.
()
Hey, how can I help you?
Hi.
My wife ordered a cake
and it's supposed to be ready.
What's the name?
Uh, Bowen, I think.
Give me one second.
I'll check on that for you.
Thanks.
()
Oh, boy.
Hey, bring it over here.
Get the rest.
Sorry that took me so long.
It was filed under, "Joyce".
BILL:
Oh, no problem.
I should've asked her
what name she left it under.
And how are we doing in here?
We're doing just fine.
She's being very well behaved,
aren't you, kitten?
Well, we're about done here now.
Question is,
what we're gonna do with you?
You can just go.
I won't tell anyone.
And how do I know
I can trust you?
You know where I live.
Fair point.
Jake, keep her here
a while longer
while I go find some rope
or something to tie her up.
I like the sound of that.
(BILL HUMMING)
Hey, uh.
Move and you're dead.
Take our shit out to the car
and wait there.
JOYCE: Help! Help me!
Help! Help! Help me!
Jake, keep that bitch quiet.
Motherfucker threw
a fuckin' cake at me!
Let her go!
(GUNSHOT)
No!
(GRUNTS)
Bill! Bill!
(GRUNTS)
(PANTING)
(GRUNTING)
(SCREAMING)
(GRUNTS)
Enough fucking around.
(GASPING)
You're about to find out.
What are you doing?
For fuck sakes.
Get out.
- But...
- Shut the fuck up.
Things have changed.
It's time to go.
Well, maybe we should take her
with us.
What the fuck for?
A hostage.
Look, she's seen our faces.
(EXHALES)
No.
- No! Don't!
- (GUNSHOT)
What the hell
is happening in there?
Let's get the fuck outta here.
Okay.
(LAUGHING)
Thank you.
Told you we'd have fun tonight.
I know, I know.
Thanks for taking me.
See you again soon?
Real soon.
(SMOOCHES)
()
Daddy?
Joyce?
Dad, what's going on?
Are you two okay?
- Joyce?
- Daddy?
(PANTING)
9-1-1 OPERATOR: (ON PHONE)
9-1-1. What's your emergency?
LEX:
My stepmom and my dad...
9-1-1 OPERATOR: (ON PHONE) Your
parents, something's happened to them?
LEX: They've been
shot. They're dead.
9-1-1 OPERATOR: (ON PHONE)
Do you know if there's an intruder
in the house?
I don't... I don't know.
I don't think so.
9-1-1 OPERATOR: (ON PHONE)
Okay.
I need you to check
for vital signs.
Can you do that for me?
(PANTING)
LEX:
My mom's head...
9-1-1 OPERATOR: (ON PHONE)
She has a head injury?
She has no head.
9-1-1 OPERATOR: (ON PHONE)
What, what, what about your father?
He's lying in a pool of blood.
9-1-1 OPERATOR: (ON PHONE)
Can you check for signs of breathing?
Can you check for a pulse?
He's dead.
9-1-1 OPERATOR: (ON PHONE)
Can you check for me anyway?
I'll have to roll him over.
9-1-1 OPERATOR: (ON PHONE) Do that as
gently as you can. Try supporting his neck.
Don't hang up,
no matter what happens.
Stay on the phone
and tell me what you see.
There's a big hole
in the back of his head.
Oh my God.
I can see his brain.
I'm gonna be sick.
9-1-1 OPERATOR: (ON PHONE) I need you
to be strong. The police are almost there.
(CRYING)
I rolled him over.
9-1-1 OPERATOR: (ON PHONE)
Good. Can you lean over and listen?
Is he breathing at all?
(GASPS)
9-1-1 OPERATOR: (ON PHONE)
Miss, are you still there?
The police are almost
on the scene.
Are you all right?
She's right there.
Okay, thanks.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Miss?
Huh?
Hi, my name
is Elizabeth Keating.
I'm the doctor
who's been taking care
of your father.
I need to talk to you
about some things.
As you know,
your father suffered
some very serious injuries.
Is he alive?
He's in extremely
critical condition,
but he's alive.
When can I see him?
There's still a great deal
of swelling in his brain,
so we aren't able to replace
the missing portion of his skull
until we're sure
that swelling has stopped.
We've induced a coma and we hope
that should help bring it down.
And if it doesn't?
If we can't get the swelling
under control,
then the pressure
of his brain pressing
against his skull
will likely be fatal.
Hey, if he makes it through
the next 48 hours,
his chances
will improve significantly.
And I want you to know
we're doing everything we can
to help him pull through this.
Oh, daddy...
I'm so sorry I wasn't there.
I should've been.
If there's any way...
I'll make it up to you,
I promise.
I swear.
(CRYING)
()
(GASPS)
I heard the sirens.
I tried to call.
What?
God, it was so horrible.
(CRYING)
Don't even think about it.
Don't look at it.
(LEX WHIMPERS)
(JAKE SNORING)
Those who were dancing
were thought to be insane
by those who could not hear
the music.
Hey.
()
Are those for me?
Not today, huh?
Hm.
Still, if you ever get tired
of Steve,
I'm just down the hall.
Think about it.
You're a child.
What are you gonna do?
I don't know.
I guess I need to talk
to a lawyer.
And depending what happens
with my dad,
it's a lot to take in.
I'm gonna need a while
to sort things out.
Joyce has a sister
that she doesn't...
Didn't really talk to.
I'll have to figure out
how to get in contact with her
at some point.
What do you say,
we go get bubble teas
and window shop the fancy
stores in the Garment District?
Just like we used to
in high school.
That sounds fun, but I'm...
I'm not really up for it today.
There's no better way
to get in the mood
than to jump in with both feet.
We can go another day.
I know, I just,
I thought it would be
a lot of fun.
I'm not in the mood, okay?
Okay then.
Hey, look, I'm sorry.
How about I take a rain check?
The great bubble tea window
shop will happen,
just on another day, okay?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Watch where the fuck
you're going.
()
What was that about?
Someone ate their frosted
bitchy-wheats this morning.
Yeah, keep walking,
trailer trash!
You know, I need to bounce.
There's something
I think I forgot to do.
But this was great.
Uh, thank you.
Sorry, I love you.
I'll call you.
What was that all about?
Where the fuck have you been?
I'm sorry.
It took them longer
than I thought it would
to fill out my prescription.
That's no excuse.
()
Sumatriptan?
What is this shit for anyway?
It's for my migraines.
Migraines?
You're giving me
a fucking migraine.
Get in the car.
Fucking women are all the same.
Excuse me?
Take forever to get ready
and still forget your tits
if they weren't attached
to your chest.
Can you please stop talking
about my tits?
It's the only thing about you
worth talking about.
Incel says what?
Don't you ever fucking talk
back to me, bitch.
Next time you lay hands
on me will be the last time
you have two fucking hands.
(SCOFFS)
(GASPS)
Is that so?
I think that you should mind
your fucking manners
from now on.
'Cause if I can this much pain
with one fucking hand,
imagine what I could do
if I put both to work.
Got it?
I'm sorry.
- Got it?
- I'm sorry.
That's better.
Bitch.
No, no.
(PANTING)
No, please!
Please!
Don't! No, no!
(GASPS)
(PANTING)
Oh, fuck.
Guess I'm not sleeping
any time soon.
()
(GRUNTS)
Oh, hi.
Hey.
Uh, I was just
in the neighborhood.
I thought I'd check on you,
you know,
see if you needed anything.
How are you moving these days?
A bit of chronic tightness.
It's been a minute.
LUKE:
Well, that's no problem.
I've got a partner stretch
that'll clear that right up.
If it's all the same,
let's just get into it.
All right.
Just be sure to go easy
on this old guy.
Touch.
(GRUNTS)
You could try to hit the pads.
You can tap out any time
if it's too much for you.
Just go easy.
Okay?
Sure.
All right.
So that's how it's gonna be?
Bring it.
(GRUNTS)
(SCREAMS)
Shit, Lex.
(PANTING)
Sorry.
Guess I got a bit carried away.
A bit?
Look, I said I was sorry.
Think it's time for you
to go anyway.
What do you want,
another apology?
No, no, I...
Well, what then?
(EXHALES)
Look, with everything
that's happened,
I... I know you've got
a lot to deal with,
and you probably haven't had
a chance to process it all.
So, I... I thought...
Look, if... if you need someone
to talk to,
I thought we could go
for dinner.
Why are you trying to get
in my pants?
Haven't we been
through this already?
I didn't mean it like that.
You did.
You don't think you did,
but you did.
I can read you like a book.
A really boring book
that I have no interest
in starting again.
()
Oh, shit.
Fuck.
(SOBBING)
()
(SCREAMING)
Fuckin' good enough.
RAND:
Jake!
What?
RAND:
Get your ass in here!
Gonna fucking yell at me?
RAND:
Turn that shit off.
Huh?
Am I way too fucking drunk
or is that what I think it is?
Yeah, you are way too
fucking drunk.
And yes, it is.
That there is untraceable
and pre-measured for quick sale.
This is our fucking future.
What do you mean?
It means
that we're entrepreneurs now.
We sell it all, we keep it all.
Nice.
So when do we start?
I think we can start
dealing tonight at the dungeon.
You know,
just a little test run.
Get a feel
for what the market is,
and then, then we can ramp it
up from there.
So I'm gonna need you
to screen all the buyers
and just run interference.
Keep the heat off my back
while I do my shit.
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
- All right.
- Yeah?
Yeah, I got you.
Good.
Fuck, yeah.
Yes.
()
Bingo.
Take your medicine, Samantha.
No wonder you get headaches.
You know you can tell me
anything, right?
Like, I... I won't get mad
or judge
or anything like that.
I know.
So, is there anything
you wanna tell me?
No.
Hey, are you gonna come
for dinner tomorrow?
What?
Oh, right.
With everything
that's been going on,
I'd forgotten.
I am making a ham.
Sounds great.
What time should I come over?
Whenever you want.
You can come early
and hang out with me
while I cook.
Would 5:00 be too late?
That would be lovely.
It's a date.
Well, I should get going.
What is it?
()
I found them.
Did you call the police?
No, I'm going to
take care of it.
(SIGHS)
Please, don't do
anything stupid.
Me? When have I ever?
Okay, you have me there.
Look, I'll...
I'll take care of it.
I will.
Tomorrow, I'll call the police.
()
I'm worried about Lex.
Do you think she's okay?
Uh, well, I mean,
she's going through
a lot right now.
I... I... I don't know.
That's true.
Can this conversation
wait for later?
Oh, yeah. Sorry.
It's just that...
Okay.
(CLEARS THROAT)
What's on your mind?
It's just,
she's blown me off a few times.
We were supposed to go shopping
and she says she's coming
for dinner tomorrow night,
but I don't even know
if it's true.
You used to have
a thing for her.
You think she's mad
that we're, you know?
Used to.
Did you ever hook up with her?
We went on one date.
I wanted to go on a second.
She didn't, and that was that.
I see.
I can tell you for a fact
Lex has no interest in me
and it's mutual.
I'm here, right here, right now,
because I want to be.
Good.
Because I've been thinking.
About?
About um,
taking this relationship
to the next level.
You sure?
Never been more sure
of anything in my life.
In a life without denial
Some distraction for a while
Try your best
to make us smile
()
Head still hurts?
SAMANTHA:
Hm.
Did you take your pills?
They're not helping any more.
Well...
Maybe you've gotten
used to them.
Maybe you need to go
see a doctor.
Change your prescription.
It'll pass.
Mmm.
That feels nice.
Things have been just so
tense lately.
They don't have to be.
What do you mean?
We can leave.
Not this shit again.
Okay, you... you need
to change your tunes, okay?
You're starting to sound
like a broken record.
He's going off the rails.
I can see it.
I can't believe that you don't.
He's fine.
He shot someone.
Like, bang in the head.
He is the farthest thing
from fine.
You don't know what happened
for sure, okay?
We were out in the car.
Okay, well, what about
the coffee shop then, hmm?
Wh... wh... what about it?
What, th...
That was just a prank.
Assault isn't a fucking prank.
That wasn't assault.
How can you be so blind?
Look, you can do
whatever you want,
but I'm not staying here
another minute!
Fuck, he's gonna hear you, Sam.
Who the fuck even
are you anymore?
He wanted to go into that house.
He was hoping to kill her!
STEVEN:
That's ridiculous, okay.
Why are you always
defending him?
Because he's been
good to me, okay?
He's been good to us.
Samantha, we owe him a lot.
What about what he did to me
in the car?
You're scared of him.
Good.
You should be.
Fuck.
Look, we can just go.
Leave.
When he's not home,
just take off.
Even if we could, Sam,
we don't have any money.
I have some.
Rand doesn't know about it,
but it's enough to get us out
of the city.
We can figure things out
from there.
At least it'll give us
a little breathing room.
My uh, ears were burning.
Rand, it's not how...
No, no, no, it's okay.
It's okay.
I mean, obviously your girl here
has something on her mind,
so maybe it's a good idea
if we let her get it
off her chest.
No?
Well, maybe I should get
something off my chest.
Oh.
Shit!
(GRUNTS)
The rudeness!
You don't even wait to hear
what I have to say?
After everything I've done
for you two,
this is the fucking thanks
I get?
(SAMANTHA PANTING)
You know, I'm...
I'm lost for words here.
Really, I...
I actually have no idea
what to do with you two now.
Thoughts?
Kill 'em.
Oh, that's tempting.
Maybe a little unnecessary.
I think an object lesson
would be a little less time,
a little more fun,
and just as effective.
Now what do you think, Sam, huh?
Can we train you?
Please.
We just want to leave.
We won't tell anyone anything.
Just let us go.
Oh, you just...
You just wanna leave?
Okay.
Stevie, is it,
is that true, huh?
Do you wanna leave?
Huh?
Well, looks like you're
on your own with this one, Sam.
Stevie
do you mind uh, giving us
the room for a minute?
No. Please.
Please.
Oh, check your balls,
wonder cuck.
I mean, it's not like
I'm gonna kill her now, am I?
No, no, no, no.
I just, I just wanna help her
get her mind right.
I'm gonna make this real easy
for you.
Either you get up
and leave right now
or I'm gonna kill her
and make you watch.
(GRUNTS)
JAKE: So what do you
want me to do with him?
Nothing.
He's gonna be a good boy now,
aren't you?
Hmm?
Right?
Right?
Yes, good boy.
Good.
Why don't you two
go for a walk, huh?
Go get some takeout
or something.
Tacos tonight, yeah?
Yay!
Tacos? We've had tacos
for the last three fucking...
The night is young, okay?
We all have miles to go
before we sleep tonight.
Come on.
Get the fuck out of here.
JAKE:
We'll be back soon.
Let's get going, wonder cuck.
(SIGHS)
You're probably thinking
that I'm gonna attack you, huh?
Maybe try to rip
your clothes off?
That's not my style.
Could have fooled me.
(RAND CHUCKLES)
But you are a brave bitch.
I always liked that about you,
but you know,
it's... it's actually a pity
that you're not more on board
with what I'm trying
to do here, because hell,
you... you have bigger balls
than your boyfriend does.
At least, he has balls.
Doesn't get his brother to do
all the dirty work for him.
A decent attempt to bait me.
Nice try.
See, but what you fail
to realize is that.
I have a ton of ways
to hurt you.
I would rather die than let you
lay another finger on me.
What?
D... tell me something.
D... d... do you think that...
That... that...
That I want to fuck you?
Huh? Is that it?
God, you just don't
fucking get it, do you?
I thought
you were the smart one.
Fuck.
Oh, and... and by the way,
rapists are the
lowest form of scum.
Bottom line, not this guy.
No.
You see, real power
is in making someone
do something
that they don't wanna do
without ever having
to lay a finger on them.
That's control.
That's real control,
and God, the thought of that
just gets me fucking hard.
For example, I have the power
between life and death over you
and little Steve-o out there.
That means that I can get you
to do whatever the fuck
I want you to do.
Bullshit.
Bullshit?
(SCOFFS)
Bullshit.
(EXHALES)
JAKE: (ON PHONE)
What?
If I don't call you back
in 10 minutes,
I want you to kill Steve.
JAKE: (ON PHONE)
How?
I don't care how.
But you're gonna make it
real, real painful.
And then I want you
to dump his body
in a garbage bin
where it belongs.
JAKE: (ON PHONE)
Understood.
10 minutes.
Clock's ticking.
What are you gonna do?
Whatever you want.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Take it.
Where the fuck's Sam?
RAND:
She's in her room.
Why?
Fucking hell, Sam.
What the fuck did you do to her?
RAND:
Hey, hey, hey.
I didn't lay a fucking finger
on her, you hear me?
God's honest truth,
she did that shit to herself.
But on a positive note,
I can confirm
that she really does love you.
Uh, no idea why,
to be honest, but she does.
Steven.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
You know,
you guys might wanna get
those cuts checked before
the infection sets in, hmm?
Oh, now don't get blood
on the carpet.
Nothing gets that shit out.
Where's my fucking taco?
Thank you.
Cilantro?
No.
Atta boy.
LEX:
Hi.
Hi.
(CHUCKLES)
This is for the hostess
with the mostest.
Oh, you dear.
Oh, I love this wine.
It's... it's so expensive though.
You didn't have to spend
that much.
Oh, I didn't.
It was in my parents' wine rack.
Uh, I'll get an opener.
Here we go.
Lex
lately you've been
distant, secretive.
I've always thought
we could tell
each other everything,
and now I feel like
I don't even know you.
You're... you're dealing
with a lot right now
and I don't wanna intrude
on your grief,
but I... I... I...
We.
Right. Right.
Um, we want you to know
that we're here for you.
If you're in trouble...
We want to help you.
So, you two thought
you would trick me
into coming over,
so you can dog pile on me?
No.
It... it's not like that.
I think I should go.
No.
You should stay.
I'm perfectly capable
of deciding
what I should or shouldn't do.
Lex.
- Lex.
- What?
Lex, wait.
What's the matter?
What was that about?
We're worried about you, is all.
We just wanna help.
If you wanted to talk to me,
then talk to me.
Don't ambush me with
some half-assed intervention
and don't talk in circles
trying to get me to bring up
whatever's on your mind.
You talk about me
being secretive,
but you can't even say
what's crawling up your crack.
Is this about me and Luke?
(LEX SCOFFS)
Look, I'm sorry
I didn't tell you sooner.
I just didn't know what to say.
That's the last thing
on my mind right now.
COSETTE:
Then why are you so mad?
I have enough to deal with
without taking
on all your shit, too.
I just care about you.
I love you.
We've always been like sisters.
Maybe we need to recognize
that we've grown further apart
than we realized.
It happens.
I mean, I've moved on
from high school,
and you stayed here
in the same house
you've lived your whole life.
A glorified house sitter
for your parents.
Why are you being so mean?
It only feels mean,
because you know it's true.
I... I'm sorry,
I just wanted to help.
I don't need your help
and I don't need you
to throw me a pity party.
I just need you
to keep out of my business.
Please, Lex.
Leave me alone.
Bitch.

The clock strikes 12:00
and moon drops burst
Out at you
from their hiding place
Like acid and oil
on a madman's face
His reason tends
to fly away
Like lesser birds
on the four winds
Like silver scrapes in May
And now the sand's
become a crust
Most of you have gone away
Oh, daddy.
I'm sorry this had
to happen to you.
I'm sorry for all the shit
I put you and Joyce through.
If she's in a better place,
I hope she knows
that I loved her
even if I could never say it
to her face.
And you know, when Mom died,
it was so sudden.
I think that's what
I was most angry about.
One moment she was going
to the grocery store
and the next minute
she was gone.
I never got to say goodbye
or I love you one last time.
That always seemed
so unfair to me.
Now though,
I think this is worse.
I can tell you that I love you,
but I have no idea
if you can hear me.
I hope you can hear this, daddy.
I love you.
And goodbye.

My father back.

How'd you find us, huh?

Hey, where's Jake?
He... he's outside.
The fuck is he doing outside?

Come to daddy, bitch.
Not on your life.

Christing shit!
What the fuck did you do?
That's arterial blood
gushing out
of your arm right now.
You'll be dead in 90 seconds
give or take.
I'd tell you to get help,
but there's no point.
You wouldn't even make it back
into the house.
You cut me?
It's better than that.
I just killed your ass.
Jake!
This bitch fucking cut me.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- I think I'm dying.
Oh my God.
Who did this?
Hey, hey,
who... who... who did this?
What happened?
Don't fucking touch him,
all right?
Oh my God.
I never even got
to see the palace.
(TAKES HEAVY BREATHS)
Yeah, we're... we're...
We're gonna...
We're gonna get them, okay?
Lex, are you there?
Lex?
You two get in the car.
Did I fucking stutter? Go!
(SOBBING)
Fuck!
LUKE: (ON PHONE)
Hey, what's up?
Uh, I'm worried.
Something's up with Lex.
I want to go talk to her,
but she probably won't even
open the door if I go by myself.
Can you come with me?
LUKE: (ON PHONE) Yeah,
I'll be there in half an hour.
(PANTING)
Oh, what did I do?
Oh God, what did I do?

Who do you think you are?
Why didn't you call the police?

You're okay.
It's okay.
You did what you had to do.
It's okay.

We're gonna fuck that bitch
in ways
that she can't even imagine.
I can't wait to make her suffer.
Rand, don't you think
we should go back and get Jake?
Take him to a doctor
or something?
What for?
He's fucking dead, you idiot!
I know.
I... I think we should go back...
Shut the fuck up!
Fucking nail your dick
to your face.
You hear me?
Not another fucking word.
Hello?
Who's there?
Perfect timing.
Oh shit!

- My God.

Come out and play with us!
I'm calling the cops!
RAND:
With what?
Where's my goddamned phone?
Cosette!
What have they done to you?
Nothing, yet.
Now open the damn door.
I want you, not her.
Open the door
and I'll let her go.
Don't do it.
RAND:
Open the door.
Tick-tock, tick-tock, Lexi.
This is your last chance
to save your friend.

This is all my fault.

Yes, it is.
Your weakness did this.
But you can make it up
by going out there
and finding that silly twat
and bringing her back to me.
Listen to me.
She's now taken someone
from both of us.
It's time to take something
back in return.

Someone call the police.

Hey, listen to me.
Look at that.

she's somewhere in this house,

and go and fucking find her!

I'm gonna kill her.

Well, you are a tough

though, right?

Ah, you fucking bitch.

You know, I bet you have
a real bad fucking stomach ache
right about now, huh?
Maybe we should take
some fucking meds.

Oh, that was a good one.
Yeah, I'll give you credit
for that.
You know, your mom?
She was never part of the plan.
No.
No, see, if she had just kept
her fucking mouth shut,
all she'd have to worry about
is cleaning up a dirty house.
But no, no!
She had to go and be a fighter.
Your dad had to go
and try to be a hero.
And now where are they?
There's a lesson
to be learned here, I think!
Oh, what's that?
Don't fight back!
That's the fucking lesson!
That's the fucking lesson,
you bitch.

there are leaders

There is predators

forget their place,
rarely does it go well for them!

Yeah.
You are a ballsy broad,
I'll fucking give you that.
But at the end of the day,
sweetheart,
I am the fucking man.
Please, no.

Please?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
See, you and I,
we're way beyond please.

fucking lumps and moved on,

This is Nichols.
I need an ambulance
to 48 Cooper.

DETECTIVE NICHOLS: Sounds
like your friend's gonna make it.
Cosette's alive?
DETECTIVE NICHOLS: She just
came out of emergency surgery.
She's in rough shape,
but she's stable.
You know, you're both very
lucky to have survived.
Just because someone's alive
doesn't mean they've survived.
Hey, Lex.
If you follow me,
I can take you to see your dad.
Now before you see him,
I want to prepare you.
He is awake and lucid,
but his speech
is severely impaired,
so I want you to do your best
not to ask him anything
or try to elicit
a verbal response in any way.
Pumpkin.

After you're done here,
the doctor would like
to examine you,
just to double-check
you're okay.

DETECTIVE NICHOLS:
How's he doing?
DR. KEATING:
He's doing well.
He's got a long road ahead.
He's gonna require at least
a year of rehab,

with mobility
for the rest of his life.
Oh, poor man.

I know how much you love that.
Oh, and I even got...
Where are they?
Your vegan chicken wings.
Ugh,
did you buy anything edible?
Funny you should mention that,
because I did.
I thought I saw
a king-sized Snickers bar.
Okay, don't even tease me.
Is there actually
a king-sized Snickers
in one of these bags?
Well, you're just gonna have
to find out, aren't you?
(CHUCKLES)
All right,
guess I better get started then.
()
I'll get that for you.
Do you need a hand?
Oh, these things can be heavy.
Ah! Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!
You're gonna break my wrist.
I should.
What is wrong with you?
Ah! I'm sorry!
It was a mistake.
Remind me,
now I know that you told me
and I should've written it
down, but uh,
Lex's favorite ice cream,
butterscotch ripple?
- It is indeed.
- Okay, good.
Now, hang on a second.
Is that real ice cream
or is that,
that butterscotchy flavored
dairy-adjacent garbage
you normally buy?
It's the real thing.
Ah, so she gets real ice cream.
What do I get?
What do I get?
Oh, what do we got here?
Uh...
Ooh, "Cousin Anna's Gluten-Free
Dessert Sticks"?
Correct, yeah.
Why do you hate me?
Stop!
Well.
(GRUNTS, CHUCKLES)
You can go now.
Don't even think about giving me
a bad rating or I will find you.
I just really,
really gotta go all out
for her this time, you know?
Lest I give off
wicked step-mother vibes again.
Well, if it gives you
any consolation,
I do have a fairy tale fetish.
Oh, hey.
No, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Hey, hey, hey, I was kidding.
- It's okay.
- Uh...
It's okay, it's okay.
There is no reason
for you to worry.
Just after last time...
You're worrying about nothing.
(SIGHS)
Okay, girl,
get your shit together.
Just really want Lex
to feel comfortable here
in her home that was her home
before it was my home.
I just want her to be happy
here in her home.
You just need to tell her that.
- I know.
- Okay.
I will.
I have a whole plan.
Oh, well, looks like
you're gonna get your chance
sooner than you expected.
Hey.
Pumpkin!
(CHUCKLES)
Lex.
Joyce.
Welcome home, sweetheart.
So it looks like you've been
taking good care of my dad.
I don't know if I've ever
seen him looking so fit.
Yes, you noticed!
Thank you.
It's a bit of a struggle,
keeping him
on the straight and narrow,
but you know...
Okay, if you two ladies
will excuse me,
I will be in the kitchen
unpacking groceries.
There is a giant Snickers bar
in one of those bags
with my name on it.
Not if I find it first!
(GIGGLING)
Seems to be going well so far.
Yeah, yes, yeah.
I'm... I'm gonna take her out
for coffee and have like,
a really good talk
when the time is right.
But yes, for now,
let's just enjoy the moment.
(CHUCKLES)
(CHUCKLES)
Hey, Cosette.
Cosette?
Cosette!
(GIGGLING)
Ta-da!
(GIGGLING)
None other, in the flesh.
(LAUGHING)
Mm, good to see you, bitch.
Likewise, tramp.
I thought you weren't getting in
till tomorrow.
My flight got canceled,
but I was able to rebook
on an earlier direct flight.
No five-hour layover and boom!
Here I am.
Still living that charmed life,
I see.
Not totally charmed.
Oh, how so?
I still have a rotten bitch
for a best friend.
(LAUGHING)
Well, um, you feel like
spending some time
with this rotten bitch tonight?
Oh, uh, gee, I'd love to,
but I just got back
and I'm sure my dad
has something planned.
Oh, if you wanna go out,
that's fine by us.
Oh, okay.
Well, I guess I can come out
and play.
Noice!
Okay,
I'll let you get freshened up.
I'll go change,
be back in like, an hour or so?
Wow.
My kingdom for one-tenth
of her energy.
Are you sure it's okay
if I go out?
Absolutely.
I wouldn't be late or anything.
Just take a set of keys
and then try not to wake us up
when you get home.
Thanks, daddy.
You're the best.
Hmm.
You're pretty great, too.
Okay, I'm gonna go get changed.
Oh. Thanks, dad.
(INDISTINCT SPEECH)
See, you were worried
for nothing.
I know.
You're right.
- For once.
- (LAUGHS)
Okay, Mr. Know-It-All.
Now, um, since Lex
is going out tonight,
do you mind if you go
to the bakery
and pick up the cake?
While I could actually make it
to yoga.
Uh, sure.
Uh, you can owe me a favor.
Okay, I will.
I won't shower
till you come home.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I'll need someone
to wash my back.
Also my front.
Oh, well, in that case,
I will definitely pick up
that cake, yeah.
Okay.
In that case,
I will go and get ready.
Sounds like a plan.
Hey, hey.
Have I told you today
that I love you?
Yes, but I'll hear it again.
I love you.
(GIGGLE)
JOYCE:
Lex, Cosette is here!
LEX:
Coming!
Presenting,
in her hometown return tour,
Lex Bowen!
Woo!
(GIGGLING)
Yeah, you guys better
get a motor.
Parking downtown is
a hot commodity these days.
You are right, Mrs. B.
Let's go.
Uh, be right out.
Um, are you sure you're okay
with me going out?
Oh, g... gosh, yes, of course.
Of course.
Besides, I don't think Cosette's
gonna take no for an answer.
(CHUCKLES)
Thanks.
Yeah, if... if you do get
a... a moment,
I would really love
to take you out for,
uh, coffee and just, um...
I have some things
I would like to say.
Me too.
(CHUCKLES)
Go, go, go, go.
Have fun. Yay! Woo!
Yeah, yeah.
I wonder if it's still good.
(INDISTINCT CHATTING, LAUGHING)
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, shit.
Is that?
Yeah.
Yeah, it is.
Um...
Hey!
Hey, you.
Uh, long time no see.
So, uh, what?... What's up?
Are we... are we still
going out tonight?
Yeah.
Um, I... I forgot we had plans.
Lex just got back
and we have some catching up
to do, so...
Yeah. Uh, cool.
Uh, shall we make it
The Three Musketeers
instead of the dynamic duo?
Uh...
You know,
I was really looking forward
to a Harley
and Ivy kind of evening.
Girl shit, you know?
But we could go out
tomorrow night?
Uh, yeah.
Oh, oka... okay then.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Great.
Been busy
while I've been away, I see.
Yeah.
Um, about that...
Why don't you tell me
all the sordid details
over a beer?
Beer? Gross.
A rail of blow then?
Maybe off the back
of a filthy truck-stop toilet?
Oh! Now you're talking.
()
RAND:
That's the place.
Scoping it out for a while now.
I got a see inside when I was
on the landscaping crew
next door.
They're loaded.
Maybe tonight won't be
such a write-off after all.
Hmm.
Do you think
this is a good idea?
I thought the idea
was to hit empty houses.
She's alone.
It'll be easy.
Look, I just... I don't think
that this is like...
RAND: You know, I
don't remember this part.
What part?
The part where I asked
for your opinion.
(JAKE CHUCKLES)
It'll be fine.
Migraines again?
Why don't you go on?
It's fine.
Hey, can you help me?
(INDISTINCT SPEECH)
(MUFFLED SCREAMS)
I need you to pay attention
and listen very, very closely.
My partner here is gonna remove
his hand from your mouth.
If you scream, you die.
I'm then gonna ask you
some questions.
If you lie
you die.
Now, if you run,
you die slow.
Do you understand me?
Nod your head if you do.
Good. Good.
Now
you look like a very
well-educated woman,
so you've probably already
guessed why we're here.
Hmm?
My purse, it's in the...
It's in the laundry room
just over there.
Go get it.
Are there
any other small valuables
we should know about?
Wall safes? Cash?
I ha... I have a... a jewelry box
in the bedroom
ups... upstairs there.
And my husband has some cash
in the uh...
On his bedside table.
Take her to another room.
Keep her quiet.
Let's go.
Huh? Wha...
O... okay.
()
Hey, how can I help you?
Hi.
My wife ordered a cake
and it's supposed to be ready.
What's the name?
Uh, Bowen, I think.
Give me one second.
I'll check on that for you.
Thanks.
()
Oh, boy.
Hey, bring it over here.
Get the rest.
Sorry that took me so long.
It was filed under, "Joyce".
BILL:
Oh, no problem.
I should've asked her
what name she left it under.
And how are we doing in here?
We're doing just fine.
She's being very well behaved,
aren't you, kitten?
Well, we're about done here now.
Question is,
what we're gonna do with you?
You can just go.
I won't tell anyone.
And how do I know
I can trust you?
You know where I live.
Fair point.
Jake, keep her here
a while longer
while I go find some rope
or something to tie her up.
I like the sound of that.
(BILL HUMMING)
Hey, uh.
Move and you're dead.
Take our shit out to the car
and wait there.
JOYCE: Help! Help me!
Help! Help! Help me!
Jake, keep that bitch quiet.
Motherfucker threw
a fuckin' cake at me!
Let her go!
(GUNSHOT)
No!
(GRUNTS)
Bill! Bill!
(GRUNTS)
(PANTING)
(GRUNTING)
(SCREAMING)
(GRUNTS)
Enough fucking around.
(GASPING)
You're about to find out.
What are you doing?
For fuck sakes.
Get out.
- But...
- Shut the fuck up.
Things have changed.
It's time to go.
Well, maybe we should take her
with us.
What the fuck for?
A hostage.
Look, she's seen our faces.
(EXHALES)
No.
- No! Don't!
- (GUNSHOT)
What the hell
is happening in there?
Let's get the fuck outta here.
Okay.
(LAUGHING)
Thank you.
Told you we'd have fun tonight.
I know, I know.
Thanks for taking me.
See you again soon?
Real soon.

Daddy?
Joyce?
Dad, what's going on?
Are you two okay?
- Joyce?
- Daddy?

9-1-1 OPERATOR: (ON PHONE)
9-1-1. What's your emergency?
LEX:
My stepmom and my dad...
9-1-1 OPERATOR: (ON PHONE) Your
parents, something's happened to them?
LEX: They've been
shot. They're dead.
9-1-1 OPERATOR: (ON PHONE)
Do you know if there's an intruder
in the house?
I don't... I don't know.
I don't think so.
9-1-1 OPERATOR: (ON PHONE)
Okay.
I need you to check
for vital signs.
Can you do that for me?
(PANTING)
LEX:
My mom's head...
9-1-1 OPERATOR: (ON PHONE)
She has a head injury?
She has no head.
9-1-1 OPERATOR: (ON PHONE)
What, what, what about your father?
He's lying in a pool of blood.
9-1-1 OPERATOR: (ON PHONE)
Can you check for signs of breathing?
Can you check for a pulse?
He's dead.
9-1-1 OPERATOR: (ON PHONE)
Can you check for me anyway?
I'll have to roll him over.
9-1-1 OPERATOR: (ON PHONE) Do that as
gently as you can. Try supporting his neck.
Don't hang up,
no matter what happens.
Stay on the phone
and tell me what you see.
There's a big hole
in the back of his head.
Oh my God.
I can see his brain.
I'm gonna be sick.
9-1-1 OPERATOR: (ON PHONE) I need you
to be strong. The police are almost there.
(CRYING)
I rolled him over.
9-1-1 OPERATOR: (ON PHONE)
Good. Can you lean over and listen?
Is he breathing at all?
(GASPS)
9-1-1 OPERATOR: (ON PHONE)
Miss, are you still there?
The police are almost
on the scene.
Are you all right?
She's right there.
Okay, thanks.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Miss?
Huh?
Hi, my name
is Elizabeth Keating.
I'm the doctor
who's been taking care
of your father.
I need to talk to you
about some things.
As you know,
your father suffered
some very serious injuries.
Is he alive?
He's in extremely
critical condition,
but he's alive.
When can I see him?
There's still a great deal
of swelling in his brain,
so we aren't able to replace
the missing portion of his skull
until we're sure
that swelling has stopped.
We've induced a coma and we hope
that should help bring it down.
And if it doesn't?
If we can't get the swelling
under control,
then the pressure
of his brain pressing
against his skull
will likely be fatal.
Hey, if he makes it through
the next 48 hours,
his chances
will improve significantly.
And I want you to know
we're doing everything we can
to help him pull through this.
Oh, daddy...
I'm so sorry I wasn't there.
I should've been.
If there's any way...
I'll make it up to you,
I promise.
I swear.
(CRYING)
()
(GASPS)
I heard the sirens.
I tried to call.
What?
God, it was so horrible.
(CRYING)
Don't even think about it.
Don't look at it.
(LEX WHIMPERS)
(JAKE SNORING)
Those who were dancing
were thought to be insane
by those who could not hear
the music.
Hey.
()
Are those for me?
Not today, huh?
Hm.
Still, if you ever get tired
of Steve,
I'm just down the hall.
Think about it.
You're a child.
What are you gonna do?
I don't know.
I guess I need to talk
to a lawyer.
And depending what happens
with my dad,
it's a lot to take in.
I'm gonna need a while
to sort things out.
Joyce has a sister
that she doesn't...
Didn't really talk to.
I'll have to figure out
how to get in contact with her
at some point.
What do you say,
we go get bubble teas
and window shop the fancy
stores in the Garment District?
Just like we used to
in high school.
That sounds fun, but I'm...
I'm not really up for it today.
There's no better way
to get in the mood
than to jump in with both feet.
We can go another day.
I know, I just,
I thought it would be
a lot of fun.
I'm not in the mood, okay?
Okay then.
Hey, look, I'm sorry.
How about I take a rain check?
The great bubble tea window
shop will happen,
just on another day, okay?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Watch where the fuck
you're going.
()
What was that about?
Someone ate their frosted
bitchy-wheats this morning.
Yeah, keep walking,
trailer trash!
You know, I need to bounce.
There's something
I think I forgot to do.
But this was great.
Uh, thank you.
Sorry, I love you.
I'll call you.
What was that all about?
Where the fuck have you been?
I'm sorry.
It took them longer
than I thought it would
to fill out my prescription.
That's no excuse.
()
Sumatriptan?
What is this shit for anyway?
It's for my migraines.
Migraines?
You're giving me
a fucking migraine.
Get in the car.
Fucking women are all the same.
Excuse me?
Take forever to get ready
and still forget your tits
if they weren't attached
to your chest.
Can you please stop talking
about my tits?
It's the only thing about you
worth talking about.
Incel says what?
Don't you ever fucking talk
back to me, bitch.
Next time you lay hands
on me will be the last time
you have two fucking hands.
(SCOFFS)
(GASPS)
Is that so?
I think that you should mind
your fucking manners
from now on.
'Cause if I can this much pain
with one fucking hand,
imagine what I could do
if I put both to work.
Got it?
I'm sorry.
- Got it?
- I'm sorry.
That's better.
Bitch.
No, no.
(PANTING)
No, please!
Please!
Don't! No, no!
(GASPS)
(PANTING)
Oh, fuck.
Guess I'm not sleeping
any time soon.
()
(GRUNTS)
Oh, hi.
Hey.
Uh, I was just
in the neighborhood.
I thought I'd check on you,
you know,
see if you needed anything.
How are you moving these days?
A bit of chronic tightness.
It's been a minute.
LUKE:
Well, that's no problem.
I've got a partner stretch
that'll clear that right up.
If it's all the same,
let's just get into it.
All right.
Just be sure to go easy
on this old guy.
Touch.
(GRUNTS)
You could try to hit the pads.
You can tap out any time
if it's too much for you.
Just go easy.
Okay?
Sure.
All right.
So that's how it's gonna be?
Bring it.
(GRUNTS)
(SCREAMS)
Shit, Lex.
(PANTING)
Sorry.
Guess I got a bit carried away.
A bit?
Look, I said I was sorry.
Think it's time for you
to go anyway.
What do you want,
another apology?
No, no, I...
Well, what then?
(EXHALES)
Look, with everything
that's happened,
I... I know you've got
a lot to deal with,
and you probably haven't had
a chance to process it all.
So, I... I thought...
Look, if... if you need someone
to talk to,
I thought we could go
for dinner.
Why are you trying to get
in my pants?
Haven't we been
through this already?
I didn't mean it like that.
You did.
You don't think you did,
but you did.
I can read you like a book.
A really boring book
that I have no interest
in starting again.

Oh, shit.
Fuck.

RAND:
Jake!
What?
RAND:
Get your ass in here!
Gonna fucking yell at me?
RAND:
Turn that shit off.
Huh?
Am I way too fucking drunk
or is that what I think it is?
Yeah, you are way too
fucking drunk.
And yes, it is.
That there is untraceable
and pre-measured for quick sale.
This is our fucking future.
What do you mean?
It means
that we're entrepreneurs now.
We sell it all, we keep it all.
Nice.
So when do we start?
I think we can start
dealing tonight at the dungeon.
You know,
just a little test run.
Get a feel
for what the market is,
and then, then we can ramp it
up from there.
So I'm gonna need you
to screen all the buyers
and just run interference.
Keep the heat off my back
while I do my shit.
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
- All right.
- Yeah?
Yeah, I got you.
Good.
Fuck, yeah.
Yes.

Bingo.
Take your medicine, Samantha.
No wonder you get headaches.
You know you can tell me
anything, right?
Like, I... I won't get mad
or judge
or anything like that.
I know.
So, is there anything
you wanna tell me?
No.
Hey, are you gonna come
for dinner tomorrow?
What?
Oh, right.
With everything
that's been going on,
I'd forgotten.
I am making a ham.
Sounds great.
What time should I come over?
Whenever you want.
You can come early
and hang out with me
while I cook.
Would 5:00 be too late?
That would be lovely.
It's a date.
Well, I should get going.
What is it?

I found them.
Did you call the police?
No, I'm going to
take care of it.
(SIGHS)
Please, don't do
anything stupid.
Me? When have I ever?
Okay, you have me there.
Look, I'll...
I'll take care of it.
I will.
Tomorrow, I'll call the police.

I'm worried about Lex.
Do you think she's okay?
Uh, well, I mean,
she's going through
a lot right now.
I... I... I don't know.
That's true.
Can this conversation
wait for later?
Oh, yeah. Sorry.
It's just that...
Okay.
(CLEARS THROAT)
What's on your mind?
It's just,
she's blown me off a few times.
We were supposed to go shopping
and she says she's coming
for dinner tomorrow night,
but I don't even know
if it's true.
You used to have
a thing for her.
You think she's mad
that we're, you know?
Used to.
Did you ever hook up with her?
We went on one date.
I wanted to go on a second.
She didn't, and that was that.
I see.
I can tell you for a fact
Lex has no interest in me
and it's mutual.
I'm here, right here, right now,
because I want to be.
Good.
Because I've been thinking.
About?
About um,
taking this relationship
to the next level.
You sure?
Never been more sure
of anything in my life.
In a life without denial
Some distraction for a while
Try your best
to make us smile
()
Head still hurts?
SAMANTHA:
Hm.
Did you take your pills?
They're not helping any more.
Well...
Maybe you've gotten
used to them.
Maybe you need to go
see a doctor.
Change your prescription.
It'll pass.
Mmm.
That feels nice.
Things have been just so
tense lately.
They don't have to be.
What do you mean?
We can leave.
Not this shit again.
Okay, you... you need
to change your tunes, okay?
You're starting to sound
like a broken record.
He's going off the rails.
I can see it.
I can't believe that you don't.
He's fine.
He shot someone.
Like, bang in the head.
He is the farthest thing
from fine.
You don't know what happened
for sure, okay?
We were out in the car.
Okay, well, what about
the coffee shop then, hmm?
Wh... wh... what about it?
What, th...
That was just a prank.
Assault isn't a fucking prank.
That wasn't assault.
How can you be so blind?
Look, you can do
whatever you want,
but I'm not staying here
another minute!
Fuck, he's gonna hear you, Sam.
Who the fuck even
are you anymore?
He wanted to go into that house.
He was hoping to kill her!
STEVEN:
That's ridiculous, okay.
Why are you always
defending him?
Because he's been
good to me, okay?
He's been good to us.
Samantha, we owe him a lot.
What about what he did to me
in the car?
You're scared of him.
Good.
You should be.
Fuck.
Look, we can just go.
Leave.
When he's not home,
just take off.
Even if we could, Sam,
we don't have any money.
I have some.
Rand doesn't know about it,
but it's enough to get us out
of the city.
We can figure things out
from there.
At least it'll give us
a little breathing room.
My uh, ears were burning.
Rand, it's not how...
No, no, no, it's okay.
It's okay.
I mean, obviously your girl here
has something on her mind,
so maybe it's a good idea
if we let her get it
off her chest.
No?
Well, maybe I should get
something off my chest.
Oh.
Shit!
(GRUNTS)
The rudeness!
You don't even wait to hear
what I have to say?
After everything I've done
for you two,
this is the fucking thanks
I get?
(SAMANTHA PANTING)
You know, I'm...
I'm lost for words here.
Really, I...
I actually have no idea
what to do with you two now.
Thoughts?
Kill 'em.
Oh, that's tempting.
Maybe a little unnecessary.
I think an object lesson
would be a little less time,
a little more fun,
and just as effective.
Now what do you think, Sam, huh?
Can we train you?
Please.
We just want to leave.
We won't tell anyone anything.
Just let us go.
Oh, you just...
You just wanna leave?
Okay.
Stevie, is it,
is that true, huh?
Do you wanna leave?
Huh?
Well, looks like you're
on your own with this one, Sam.
Stevie
do you mind uh, giving us
the room for a minute?
No. Please.
Please.
Oh, check your balls,
wonder cuck.
I mean, it's not like
I'm gonna kill her now, am I?
No, no, no, no.
I just, I just wanna help her
get her mind right.
I'm gonna make this real easy
for you.
Either you get up
and leave right now
or I'm gonna kill her
and make you watch.
(GRUNTS)
JAKE: So what do you
want me to do with him?
Nothing.
He's gonna be a good boy now,
aren't you?
Hmm?
Right?
Right?
Yes, good boy.
Good.
Why don't you two
go for a walk, huh?
Go get some takeout
or something.
Tacos tonight, yeah?
Yay!
Tacos? We've had tacos
for the last three fucking...
The night is young, okay?
We all have miles to go
before we sleep tonight.
Come on.
Get the fuck out of here.
JAKE:
We'll be back soon.
Let's get going, wonder cuck.
(SIGHS)
You're probably thinking
that I'm gonna attack you, huh?
Maybe try to rip
your clothes off?
That's not my style.
Could have fooled me.
(RAND CHUCKLES)
But you are a brave bitch.
I always liked that about you,
but you know,
it's... it's actually a pity
that you're not more on board
with what I'm trying
to do here, because hell,
you... you have bigger balls
than your boyfriend does.
At least, he has balls.
Doesn't get his brother to do
all the dirty work for him.
A decent attempt to bait me.
Nice try.
See, but what you fail
to realize is that.
I have a ton of ways
to hurt you.
I would rather die than let you
lay another finger on me.
What?
D... tell me something.
D... d... do you think that...
That... that...
That I want to fuck you?
Huh? Is that it?
God, you just don't
fucking get it, do you?
I thought
you were the smart one.
Fuck.
Oh, and... and by the way,
rapists are the
lowest form of scum.
Bottom line, not this guy.
No.
You see, real power
is in making someone
do something
that they don't wanna do
without ever having
to lay a finger on them.
That's control.
That's real control,
and God, the thought of that
just gets me fucking hard.
For example, I have the power
between life and death over you
and little Steve-o out there.
That means that I can get you
to do whatever the fuck
I want you to do.
Bullshit.
Bullshit?
(SCOFFS)
Bullshit.
(EXHALES)
JAKE: (ON PHONE)
What?
If I don't call you back
in 10 minutes,
I want you to kill Steve.
JAKE: (ON PHONE)
How?
I don't care how.
But you're gonna make it
real, real painful.
And then I want you
to dump his body
in a garbage bin
where it belongs.
JAKE: (ON PHONE)
Understood.
10 minutes.
Clock's ticking.
What are you gonna do?
Whatever you want.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Take it.
Where the fuck's Sam?
RAND:
She's in her room.
Why?
Fucking hell, Sam.
What the fuck did you do to her?
RAND:
Hey, hey, hey.
I didn't lay a fucking finger
on her, you hear me?
God's honest truth,
she did that shit to herself.
But on a positive note,
I can confirm
that she really does love you.
Uh, no idea why,
to be honest, but she does.
Steven.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
You know,
you guys might wanna get
those cuts checked before
the infection sets in, hmm?
Oh, now don't get blood
on the carpet.
Nothing gets that shit out.
Where's my fucking taco?
Thank you.
Cilantro?
No.
Atta boy.
LEX:
Hi.
Hi.
(CHUCKLES)
This is for the hostess
with the mostest.
Oh, you dear.
Oh, I love this wine.
It's... it's so expensive though.
You didn't have to spend
that much.
Oh, I didn't.
It was in my parents' wine rack.
Uh, I'll get an opener.
Here we go.
Lex
lately you've been
distant, secretive.
I've always thought
we could tell
each other everything,
and now I feel like
I don't even know you.
You're... you're dealing
with a lot right now
and I don't wanna intrude
on your grief,
but I... I... I...
We.
Right. Right.
Um, we want you to know
that we're here for you.
If you're in trouble...
We want to help you.
So, you two thought
you would trick me
into coming over,
so you can dog pile on me?
No.
It... it's not like that.
I think I should go.
No.
You should stay.
I'm perfectly capable
of deciding
what I should or shouldn't do.
Lex.
- Lex.
- What?
Lex, wait.
What's the matter?
What was that about?
We're worried about you, is all.
We just wanna help.
If you wanted to talk to me,
then talk to me.
Don't ambush me with
some half-assed intervention
and don't talk in circles
trying to get me to bring up
whatever's on your mind.
You talk about me
being secretive,
but you can't even say
what's crawling up your crack.
Is this about me and Luke?
(LEX SCOFFS)
Look, I'm sorry
I didn't tell you sooner.
I just didn't know what to say.
That's the last thing
on my mind right now.
COSETTE:
Then why are you so mad?
I have enough to deal with
without taking
on all your shit, too.
I just care about you.
I love you.
We've always been like sisters.
Maybe we need to recognize
that we've grown further apart
than we realized.
It happens.
I mean, I've moved on
from high school,
and you stayed here
in the same house
you've lived your whole life.
A glorified house sitter
for your parents.
Why are you being so mean?
It only feels mean,
because you know it's true.
I... I'm sorry,
I just wanted to help.
I don't need your help
and I don't need you
to throw me a pity party.
I just need you
to keep out of my business.
Please, Lex.
Leave me alone.
Bitch.
(SCOFFS)

The clock strikes 12:00
and moon drops burst
Out at you
from their hiding place
Like acid and oil
on a madman's face
His reason tends
to fly away
Like lesser birds
on the four winds
Like silver scrapes in May
And now the sand's
become a crust
Most of you have gone away
Oh, daddy.
I'm sorry this had
to happen to you.
I'm sorry for all the shit
I put you and Joyce through.
If she's in a better place,
I hope she knows
that I loved her
even if I could never say it
to her face.
And you know, when Mom died,
it was so sudden.
I think that's what
I was most angry about.
One moment she was going
to the grocery store
and the next minute
she was gone.
I never got to say goodbye
or I love you one last time.
That always seemed
so unfair to me.
Now though,
I think this is worse.
I can tell you that I love you,
but I have no idea
if you can hear me.
I hope you can hear this, daddy.
I love you.
And goodbye.
(SNIFFLES)

What do you want?
My father back.
My mother back.
Uh, I'm so sorry.
(WHIMPERS)
Oh hey Sam.
Yeah, I just got here.
What the fuck?
LEX:
No!
(GRUNTS)
Bitch!
(SCREAMS)
How'd you find us, huh?
(GRUNTING)
(SCREAMING)
(GRUNTING)
Hey, where's Jake?
He... he's outside.
The fuck is he doing outside?
(GRUNTING)
(GRUNTS)
Come to daddy, bitch.
Not on your life.
(GRUNTS)
(YELLS)
(GRUNTS)
(PANTING)
Christing shit!
What the fuck did you do?
That's arterial blood
gushing out
of your arm right now.
You'll be dead in 90 seconds
give or take.
I'd tell you to get help,
but there's no point.
You wouldn't even make it back
into the house.
You cut me?
It's better than that.
I just killed your ass.
Jake!
This bitch fucking cut me.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- I think I'm dying.
Oh my God.
Who did this?
Hey, hey,
who... who... who did this?
What happened?
Don't fucking touch him,
all right?
Oh my God.
I never even got
to see the palace.
(TAKES HEAVY BREATHS)
Yeah, we're... we're...
We're gonna...
We're gonna get them, okay?
Lex, are you there?
Lex?
You two get in the car.
Did I fucking stutter? Go!
(SOBBING)
Fuck!
LUKE: (ON PHONE)
Hey, what's up?
Uh, I'm worried.
Something's up with Lex.
I want to go talk to her,
but she probably won't even
open the door if I go by myself.
Can you come with me?
LUKE: (ON PHONE) Yeah,
I'll be there in half an hour.
(PANTING)
Oh, what did I do?
Oh God, what did I do?
(SOBBING)
Who do you think you are?
Why didn't you call the police?
(SOBBING)
(RETCHES)
You're okay.
It's okay.
You did what you had to do.
It's okay.
(SOBBING)
We're gonna fuck that bitch
in ways
that she can't even imagine.
I can't wait to make her suffer.
Rand, don't you think
we should go back and get Jake?
Take him to a doctor
or something?
What for?
He's fucking dead, you idiot!
I know.
I... I think we should go back...
Shut the fuck up!
Fucking nail your dick
to your face.
You hear me?
Not another fucking word.
Hello?
Who's there?
Perfect timing.
Oh shit!
(GRUNTS)
- My God.
- RAND: Sexy Lexi.
Come out and play with us!
I'm calling the cops!
RAND:
With what?
Where's my goddamned phone?
Cosette!
What have they done to you?
Nothing, yet.
Now open the damn door.
I want you, not her.
Open the door
and I'll let her go.
Don't do it.
RAND:
Open the door.
Tick-tock, tick-tock, Lexi.
This is your last chance
to save your friend.
(WHIMPERING)
(SCREAMS)
You know, you ought to get
a lot better
at password protecting
your phone.
Oh, shit.
Little bitch.
(PANTS)
(GRUNTS)
Oh, keys, keys,
where are the keys?
Oh, shit, shit, shit.
(PANTING)
Are you fucking kidding me?
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait for what?
He said he'd kill me
if I didn't help.
I ought to kill you,
because you did.
(GRUNTING)
(SAMANTHA PANTING)
Please.
Please, don't make me do this.
(GRUNTING)

LUKE:
Lex?
Lex?
Cosette, are you here?
(COUGHS)
(GASPS)
Sam? Sam?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no.
(SOBBING)
Please wake up, Sam.
No.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I should have listened to you.
I'm so sorry.
(WHIMPERS)
This is all my fault.
RAND:
Yes, it is.
Your weakness did this.
But you can make it up
by going out there
and finding that silly twat
and bringing her back to me.
Listen to me.
She's now taken someone
from both of us.
It's time to take something
back in return.
(COSETTE GASPING)
(GASPING)
Someone call the police.
(COUGHS)
()
Hey, listen to me.
Look at that.
Look at it.
Your fucking girlfriend
is dead right now.
And the bitch who did that,
she's somewhere in this house,
so I need you to be
a fucking man
and go and fucking find her!
(WHIMPERING)
I'm gonna kill her.
Front door.
That's the spirit.
But remember, I get to kill her.
Beyond that, you can do
whatever the fuck you want.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Here I come.
Where the fuck are you?
Huh.
Still ticking.
Well, you are a tough
little hooker, aren't you?
Well, at least, Stevie
grew some balls finally.
At least, you were finally good
for something.
Oh, yeah.
(GRUNTS)
Cunt.
(GRUNTS)
I'm gonna fucking get you.
(GRUNTS)
(GRUNTS)
- (SIZZLES)
- (SCREAMING)
You fucking burned me!
(SCREAMS)
(SLASHES)
Hey there.
(LEX GRUNTS, SCREAMS)
(GROANS)
(GRUNTING)
Fuck!
That hit the bone, you bitch!
That was impressive.
And that's fucking gross.
Mind you, my grandmother
could have taken care
of this piece of shit.
(PANTS)
Sam had some balls
though, right?
Jake...
Oh, hell, Jake was at least
double your size.
Some impressive shit.
It's also why I'm gonna enjoy
the next few hours
peeling the skin off your body,
one square inch at a time.
(GRUNTS)
(COUGHS, SOBBING)
RAND:
Ah, you fucking bitch.
Ah.
You know, I bet you have
a real bad fucking stomach ache
right about now, huh?
Maybe we should take
some fucking meds.
(CRYING)
Oh, that was a good one.
Yeah, I'll give you credit
for that.
You know, your mom?
She was never part of the plan.
No.
No, see, if she had just kept
her fucking mouth shut,
all she'd have to worry about
is cleaning up a dirty house.
But no, no!
She had to go and be a fighter.
Your dad had to go
and try to be a hero.
And now where are they?
There's a lesson
to be learned here, I think!
Oh, what's that?
Don't fight back!
That's the fucking lesson!
That's the fucking lesson,
you bitch.
(SOBBING, GROANS)
You see, in this life,
there are leaders
and there are followers.
There is predators
and there are prey!
And when the weak
forget their place,
rarely does it go well for them!
What do you think?
Yeah.
You are a ballsy broad,
I'll fucking give you that.
But at the end of the day,
sweetheart,
I am the fucking man.
Please, no.
(SCOFFS)
Please?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
See, you and I,
we're way beyond please.
If you had just taken your
fucking lumps and moved on,
we wouldn't be here right now.
But no, listen to me.
Fucking listen to me.
Everything, every fucking thing
that happens
from this moment on,
is your fucking fault.
(CRIES)
Leave her!
Who the fuck is this?
(SCREAMS)
(CRYING)
This another one
of your friends?
Fuck it, I don't care.
(SOBBING)
(PANTING)
Oh, you and I, oh,
we're gonna have
a whole lot of fun, Sexy Lexi.
(GRUNTS)
(LEX CRYING)
Oh, I'm gonna make sure
that you feel
every last fucking inch
of me, baby.
No, you're gonna feel
every inch of this.

(SOBBING)
DETECTIVE NICHOLS: This
is the police. We're coming in.
If you have a weapon,
lay it on the ground.
Get on your knees
and put your hands
above your head.
LEX:
It's okay, we're not armed.
Ma'am, is there anyone else
in the house?
LEX:
I think this is it.
What, what the hell
happened here?
I... I'll...
I'll tell you everything.
First, call her an ambulance
before she bleeds to death!
Okay.
Uh, sit tight.
This is Nichols.
I need an ambulance
to 48 Cooper.
(WHIMPERS)
DETECTIVE NICHOLS: Sounds
like your friend's gonna make it.
Cosette's alive?
DETECTIVE NICHOLS: She just
came out of emergency surgery.
She's in rough shape,
but she's stable.
You know, you're both very
lucky to have survived.
Just because someone's alive
doesn't mean they've survived.
Hey, Lex.
If you follow me,
I can take you to see your dad.
Now before you see him,
I want to prepare you.
He is awake and lucid,
but his speech
is severely impaired,
so I want you to do your best
not to ask him anything
or try to elicit
a verbal response in any way.
Pumpkin.
(SOBBING)
After you're done here,
the doctor would like
to examine you,
just to double-check
you're okay.
Don't... don't say anything,
daddy.
I'm here
and I'm not going anywhere.
This nightmare's over.
Joyce?
(SOBS)
Can I... can I get you anything?
Some water or...
No, don't say anything.
Just um, give it a thumbs up.
Okay.
I'll get you some.
Just sit tight.
DETECTIVE NICHOLS:
How's he doing?
DR. KEATING:
He's doing well.
He's got a long road ahead.
He's gonna require at least
a year of rehab,
and speech therapy,
and he'll likely struggle
with mobility
for the rest of his life.
Oh, poor man.
I mean, all things considered,
I'd say
he's been extremely lucky.
Yeah.
(SCREAMS, GRUNTS)
Put the weapon down.
I said, put the weapon down now!

He can't feel a thing!

Night fades to day
And days fade to darkness
Please, let me out of here
I'm trapped in nothingness
Seems like this time is right
to dry all of the tears
That I have cried
but I'm too weak
I feel so numb
and isolated from everyone
A single tear
escapes my eye
I cure my pain
with a razor blade
Days have passed
Years gone by
Dreams torn apart
My cheating mind attempts
to kill my aching heart
Seems like this time is right

That I have been crying,

I feel so numb
and isolated from everyone
A single tear
escapes my eye
I cure my pain
