Oh, my God. [gasps]
I am so sorry. I--
You just spilled $29 coffee
all over me.
I'm really sorry.
I'm so sorry, I didn't--
I didn't mean to.
It's fine. I will survive.
Wait, wait. Um...
Can you tell me
where I am
and if Emily lives here?
Here as in the Benedict?
Aren't you that Joni chick?
I mean, you live here, right?
I'll say you're bleeding.

-Hey, Hank.
-[Hank] Amber,
how's my favorite client
on this fine morning?
-Old.
-Right.
So I have good news,
and I have bad news.
Which one first?
Bad news.
They passed on you.
Great.
Now I can't even book
a movie called Meca Conda.
You're too good
for that movie anyway.
Now, ready for the good news?
-Hank.
-Sean Roland's
new movie is gearing up,
and guess who
he wants to audition.
[enchanting music]
Are you serious?
As a heart attack.
Hank, I love you.
The catch is they want
to see you as soon as possible.
-Can you head there now?
-Yeah.
I mean, I need to get ready,
but yes, not a problem.
Great.
I'll text you the address.
Hank, I could kiss you.
Yes!
Wow. Good news?
Wow. Okay.
What was that for?
-Did you spill something?
-Uh, stupid neighbor.
Guess who has an audition
for the new Sean Roland film.
-Holy shit! That's amazing.
-Yes!
What about that other movie,
Meca Conda?
Eh, they passed. Who cares?
Anyways, this is Sean Roland!
That is amazing, Am.
That's really exciting.
What do you think
of this shirt with these pants?
-Um, I got that meeting.
-You know,
it's been so long
since I've had, like,
a real meaty part
that I can sink my teeth into.
God, I hope it's a good one.
[exhales] Okay,
I need to get ready,
so shoo-shoo-shoo.
All right, all right.
-Roland! Yes!
-Proud of you.
Whoo!
[clattering]
[suspenseful music]
[screams]
Any ideas?
[man]
I have no clue.
You'd probably call a plumber.
Aren't you the building manager?
Why don't you call the plumber?
[man]
Uh, okay, I'll do that.
[water flushing]
The water is running fine now.
We're still working on all
the renovations on this floor.
Thank you so much.
And I'd offer you coffee,
but I really got to get ready.
Big audition today.
Wow, great! What for?
Uh, new Sean Roland film.
Very big part.
Got to look my best. [chuckles]
Wow, that's terrific.
You know,
I take pictures myself.
-I was just on my way--
-Oh, wow. So sweet.
-Um, thanks for fixing
the drain. Okay, I gotta go.
-Oh, no. No problem.
-Bye.
-By the way,
you have something on your fa--
Okay. You got this.
You can do it.
[sighs] This is your...
What the hell?
Oh, you can't
break out tomorrow?
No.
Not today, not today.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
[sighs] Oh, damn it!
[Hank]
Hello, beautiful.
Ready to knock 'em dead today?
Hank, listen. I am breaking out
in a freakish rash,
-and I need you to reschedule.
-A rash?
What about that, uh,
skin shit you used to hawk?
I'm all out.
Have you tried covering it up?
-Hank, can you reschedule?
-I, I don't know if I can.
-They were pretty adamant
that it had to be today.
-[sighs]
Uh, you know, Internet has
some home remedies if you look.
Those things don't work!
They're ridiculous!
Hey, y'all, Belinda here,
and welcome back
to my series on DIY self-care.
Today, we're going
to be making a skin cream
that will leave you
feeling refreshed, restored,
and your skin looking radiant.
Here's what you'll need.
Asparagus, turmeric,
lima beans,
baking soda, and sardines.
I know. Ugh, sardines.
'Cause the omega-3 fatty acids
are going to work wonders
for your skin.
And, as always,
you're going to want to use
organic ingredients
whenever possible.

[sinister music]
[Amber screams]
[grunting] Bullshit, Belinda!
[suspenseful music]
Bottoms up. [exhales]
[exhales]
And actually...
...not so bad.
[retching]
[exhales]
[line ringing]
-[William] Hello?
-Oh, William. [inhales sharply]
Sweetie, I am not doing so well.
I'm breaking out
in a terrible rash.
I did some home remedy
that made me,
made me vomit everywhere.
And I'm sweaty, and I'm gross.
And I don't think
I can do the audition.
[William] It's okay, sweetie.
Uh, maybe you just
need to relax. Take a deep--
[exclaims] Don't fucking
tell me to relax!
[William]
Look, I'm just about to go
into this meeting.
-As soon as it's done--
-William!
Today will be the day
that changes
the rest of my life.
Finally, the comeback I deserve!
Do you think they're just
handing out roles
to former child stars
in their forties?
[William]
You're right. Okay.
Um, I'll figure it out.
What do you need? What can I do?
I need you to go
and get a skin cream.
Uh, Katrina's Beauty Supply.
It's called Seprina skin fixer.
-[William] All right.
-Seprina skin fixer.
-Got it?
-Yep, I, I got it.
-I'll be there
as soon as I can.
-Okay.
Hey, I love you.
[exhaling strenuously]
[gasping]
[menacing music]
[sobbing]
[exclaiming]
[screams]
[door closes]
Hey, Am.
What happened in the kitchen?
Holy shit.
[sobbing] I know!
What happened?
It's like the worst day ever.
It was like...
First the coffee,
and then the sink,
and now this.
I don't, I don't--
I think you need a doctor,
not a skin cream.
Why, why didn't you
go to the ER?
I thought it was
gonna clear up by now!
Can you give me some water?
I'm, like, really thirsty.
Yeah.
[sighs]
Oh, wow.
That's really gross.
[William]
Hey, Am?
I'm pretty sure that this is
supposed to go on the rash.
Did you drink it?
I was desperate!
Look, I, I know that you're
anxious with this audition,
but it's going to be fine.
You're-- It's--
Everything's going to work out.
You just got to--
Oh! Son of a...
[knock on door]
[William]
Hey, sweetness.
I need to get in there.
I cut myself.
I, I need to get
the first-aid kit.
Cut myself pretty bad.
[breath shuddering]
[breathing heavily]
Thanks.
-Hey, hey.
-[Amber weeping]
Hey, hey. Come here. Come here.
Hey.
It's okay.
Everything's going to be fine.
You are beautiful
no matter what.
They can reschedule, right?
Don't they know who you are?
They're lucky to have you
even consider doing their movie.
You are worth waiting for.
Hey... [chuckles]
I have really got
to patch this up, okay?
It won't take long.
[voices whispering]
[sinister music]
[William]
Hey. What--
[Amber moans]
-[William] What--
-[moans]
That's, uh...
That's weird.
Okay. O-- okay.
Please, just...
[voices whispering]
[William]
Whoa! Hey!
Stop. What-- [groans]
What is wrong with you?
Sorry.
I couldn't help myself.
Please, just... [sighs]
Let me get this patched up.
[voices whispering]
[object clatters]
[voices fade]
Look... I know that you are
nervous about this audition.
Everything happens
for a reason, babe.
Everything.
You know, maybe,
maybe you weren't
supposed to be in this movie.
You know, may--
[slashes]
[sinister music]
[body thuds]
[tense music builds]
[exhales]
Thank God you're here.
But what apartment?
[door opens]
[Amber]
Hank, forget about canceling.
All cleared up now.
[Hank over cell phone]
Fantastic. How'd you do it?
[Amber]
I used a home remedy.
[tense music builds]
[dramatic music]
Are you okay?
Mm.
Wish me luck.
[door opens]
[voices whispering]
[tense music]
[thumps]
[gasping]
Emily.
Emily.
Emily!
What's going on out here?
Who's shouting
up and down this hallway?
-Who are you?
-I'm--
Who are you?
How did you get in here?
You don't belong here.
What did you bring here?
What evil did you bring here?
Hi. Could you guys keep it down?
No.
This woman is trespassing.
She doesn't belong here.
Oh, that's
what's-her-name's sister.
They live upstairs.
I know who Emily and Joni are.
And this is not Joni.
Um, okay.
Well, if you could keep it down,
that'd be great.
Yeah.
Thanks.
[Joni]
We'll do. No problem.
-Jesus! What--
-Shh.
Shut up. Shut up!
You're right,
I don't belong here.
I need to find Emily.
What do you want with her?
Are you gonna hurt her?
No.
No, I lost her once,
and I can't lose her again.
Please.
I think she's on five.
Apartment 510.
Thank you.
[voices whispering]
[menacing music]
You better go.
Thank you.
[serene music]
Some strange stuff
happening today.
I know I'm not losing it.
[flies buzzing]
That was not the Joni I know.
She was something else.
I could have
handled that better.
Ellie...
...you'd have known what to do.
[flies buzzing]
[melancholic music]
[voices whispering]
[clattering]
[menacing music building]
[knock on door]
Leonard. Good to see you.
-How are you?
-Mr. Lewis, good.
Uh, I got your mail for you.
Uh...
How are you doing today?
Oh, well enough. Well enough.
How's that young lady
you've been seeing?
Good. Uh, going good.
Um, taking it slow.
Would you like
to come in for a bite?
-I could use the company.
-[man] I brought food, Dad.
Declan.
I didn't expect you
coming over today.
Thought I'd drop by.
You know what? I'm going
to let you two catch up.
Um, I'll see you later, Jude.
Good to see you.
[slow atmospheric music]
[Declan]
I was thinking
we could take this food
and eat it at the park.
It's a nice day out.
No need for all that.
Nice, huh?
I would have cleaned up
if I'd known
you were coming over.
Would you have, Dad?
How would you have
cleaned up all this?
Oh, come on now.
It ain't all that bad.
When are you going
to do this, Dad?
You can't live like this.
Come on, take a load off.
Let me,
let me make a space here
on the table where we can eat.
[grunting softly]
Tell me about your week.
How's work?
How's the little ones
and the lovely Natalie?
Dad, please.
We could talk about me
till the cows come home.
I want to know
what's going on with my son.
You don't call as much anymore.
Been a while since you came by.
Work's good.
I'm on a new beat.
Way less nights.
Natalie's good.
She just got a promotion
at the job, so that's nice.
And the kids are...
rambunctious.
They miss you.
Well, bring the tykes over.
Got lots of sweets for them.
Dad, you know I can't
bring them over here.
I can't have them
see you like this.
Like what?
Like this!
Mom's been dead a year, Dad.
You need to let me help you
or you need
to get professional help.
Hodgepodge. I'm fine.
How about I come
and visit you guys?
Last time you came over,
you brought roaches with you.
It took us over a month
to get rid of them.
You never told me that.
Well... I'm telling you now.
What'd you bring?
-Cajun.
-Ooh.
Your mother loved Cajun food.
She never did
quite, uh, perfect her gumbo,
but her blackened chicken--
Could bring a man to his knees.
I miss her too.
Dad, let me help you clean up.
Please.
Do you think mom would
want you to live like this?
Let's get started.
-Take this to the trash.
-No!
Why not?
You didn't use to be like this.
Some of your mother's things
are in there.
Like what? Did she eat out
of this TV dinner tray?
Yes.
Two days before she died.
-And this newspaper!
-No!
-No. No. No.
-Dad, it's trash!
-No. No.
-It's trash, Dad!
-It's all trash!
-No. No.
-You're living in squalor!
-No.
-No.
-You're going to die in filth!
Get out.
What?
Dad!
Just leave.
Please don't take our things.
Declan.
I love you, son.
Always have.

Jesus Christ, dude, they're
destroying the whole damn town.
[man 2] Call the military,
call the National Guard,
call the--

[rattling]
[voice whispering]
Jude.
[dramatic music]
Just let go, man.
Just let go.
[flies buzzing]
[woman humming]
[humming continues]
[subtle growling]
Eleanor... is that you?
[Eleanor]
I've missed you, sweet darling.
H-- h-- how is this possible?
[Eleanor]
Anything is possible with love.
I, I've missed you too, Ellie.
[Eleanor]
What happened?
I've been so lonely.
You weren't supposed
to go before me.
I'm not strong enough
to be here without you.
You were always
so much better at life.
Great wife...
...a great mother,
and the life of the party.
Everybody loved you.
A husband should
never outlive his wife.
It's not fair.
It's not supposed
to be like this.
[melancholic music]
Why did you go without me?
[Eleanor]
Come with me now.

[clattering]
Oh, come on.
Oh, please, please. Come on.
Come on. Come on!
Come on, come on, come on.
[menacing music]
Did you
want to keep me, Leonard?
Is that why
you took my pictures?
You can't be real.
This isn't real.
Why, Leonard?
[otherworldly voice] Look at me!
Because, because I killed you.
[normal] And why
did you kill me, Leonard?
[Leonard]
Hey, Katherine.
[Katherine]
Is that what
you think happened?
Is that how you view me?
[Katherine
in otherworldly voice]
Let me help you see clearly.
Hi, Katherine.
Hey, Leonard. How's it going?
-[man] It's good to see you.
-[Katherine] Yeah, you too.
You let that man defile you,
run his hands all over you.
I know he has a wife.
[Katherine]
I know he has a wife too.
I know he has a wife,
because he's my brother-in-law.
But the question, Leonard,
is how do you know
he has a wife?
How long have you been
stalking me, Leonard?
I keep tabs on you. So what?
I just want to make sure
you're okay.
I want to make sure
that you're safe.
I don't want anybody
to hurt you.
[Katherine]
Except you hurt me, Leonard.
Don't say my name.
[Katherine, echoing]
Isn't that what you wanted?
To have only your name
on my lips.
To have me close to you.
To have me feel you.
I just didn't want him
to touch you!
[otherworldly voice]
I'm only meant
to be touched by you?
Hi, Katherine.
Can I borrow a wine opener?
I've got some friends
coming over later, and I rea--
[camera flashes]
Katherine,
I'm not that kind of guy.
I'd like to take you out first.
Treat you like you deserve.
I said no!
[Katherine chuckles]
[otherworldly voice]
We really are the heroes
of our own stories.
Oh, Leonard.
How delusional are you?
We all know
you don't have friends.
Stop!
-Stop it!
-Stop!
Stop what?
I'm only showing you
what you have done.
Face what you have done!
Hey, Leonard.
Hey, Katherine.
What's up?
I was wondering if, um, maybe
you wanted to hang out tonight.
Oh, [sighs] crap.
I can't. Um,
I'm actually not feeling well.
I was just going to go to bed.
I have a big day tomorrow.
[chuckles]
But maybe we can
hang out this weekend.
I could get one of the girls
on seven to have
one of their famous potlucks.
Let's touch base tomorrow, okay?
Okay?
-All right. Um...
-[voices whispering]
Have a good night.
Good night.
-[dramatic music]
-Good night!
Did you have a good night?
Did you have
a good night with him?
Leonard, please.
Don't say my name.
You don't deserve
to call me that.
[sobbing]
-[Leonard kicks, grunts]
-[Katherine groans]
[Katherine sobbing]
You're just like
the rest of them.
All whores!
[Katherine sobbing]
You were supposed
to be different.
I'll do whatever you want.
[sobbing]
-Just please don't.
-Don't what?
[Katherine sobbing]
Please.
Hurt you? Hm?
Like you hurt me?
[Leonard grunts]

[serene music]
[Katherine]
I was supposed to have lunch
with my mom tomorrow.
[camera flashes]
It was going to be a nice day.
A little catch up,
but nothing out of the ordinary.
Now, it will be
the worst day of her life.
It will haunt her forever
knowing that I was murdered.
[otherworldly voice]
Murdered by a weak man.
By a coward.
Please don't call me that.
I will never see my sister again
because you are a coward.
My dad won't give
me away at my wedding
because you are a coward.
I will never hear
the laughter of my children
because you are a coward!
What do you want from me?
Nothing!
I want nothing from you!
Tell me what to do.
Tell me what to do.
[otherworldly voice]
You can do nothing!
You are nothing!
-I'm sorry. I am nothing.
-Nothing.
Nothing!
-Nothing!
-What have I done?
You killed me!
[switch clicks]
Oh.

[man]
Are you okay?
I guess, um,
fourth floor is the party floor.
I'm on the fourth floor?
-Yeah.
-No, I can't be.
I was just on the fifth.
Well, this is the fourth floor,
but if you need anything,
I'm in 510.
Whoa. 510?
With Emily?
No. I live alone.
I just moved in.
Congrats.
Thanks.
[receding footsteps]
[voices whispering]
[menacing music]
Nah.
[door closes]
Fuck this place.
[woman]
Get your things.
You're just gonna leave.
[man speaks indistinctly]
[woman]
Okay. Then stay.
[exhales]
-[man speaks indistinctly]
-[woman] Oh, please.
It wasn't too late.
Literally two seconds ago.
[man]
I don't know what to do.
I don't know
what you want from me.
[woman]
Well, I know
what you want from me.
[man]
I want nothing more
than to be here with you.
[woman]
No, you don't!
You, you get to go out
and do whatever you want,
whenever you want.
Good times, Tim. Right?
And then
when the times get tough,
he's out the fucking door!
Hey! I've been here
through it all.
You think I want to go
to some shitty job?
I want to be here with my wife.
I miss you.
I've been doing my best.
No.
You haven't.
Whatever this is,
it's not your best.
Then what is?
What more can I do?
If there's something else,
please tell me.
It wasn't supposed
to be this way.
It wasn't.
[weeping]
I know.
I know you're hurting.
-I know it's been hard.
-No, you don't know!
Y-- you have no idea!
Your body didn't betray you.
You didn't feel her kick one day
and the next day she was gone.
You weren't a father.
You're not the only one in pain.
I'm not allowed to talk
about what I want, what I feel.
There's only room
for your grief.
Your hurt.
We're supposed to be
going through this together.
But I'm not allowed
to touch you,
let alone
even talk about trying again.
You're crazy if you think losing
our baby hasn't killed me.
-I'm not crazy. Fuck you!
-Stop!
-Stop!
-No! Fuck you!
You don't want
to try again, fine!
You don't want
to touch me, fine!
But get up and do something.
Go for a walk.
Call up the girls.
Take a shower.
I don't know. Try doing laundry.
You'll feel better
if you do something.
Anything.
I lost my baby too.
You don't see me sitting around
feeling sorry for myself.
Life has to move on.
[keys jingle]
I'm sorry.
I'll be home as soon as I can.
I love you.

-Hey, Sara.
-Hey.
Where have you been?
When's your due date, again?
I'm so excited to babysit.
I bio-chem on Tuesday nights,
-but other than that
I'm wide open.
-Madison.
-I'm certified in CPR, and--
-Madison, I'm...
I didn't tell you, but...
I'm... so sorry.
And here I was
rambling on about it. I'm...
It's fine.
-[chuckles softly]
-Maybe you could try again.
I should get back
to laundry room before somebody
steals my machine. [chuckles]
It's fine.
Don't worry about it, Mad.
I'll see ya.
[melancholic music]
[gasps]
-Are you okay?
-[exhales]
No, no. Actually, I'm not okay.
Are you okay?
No.
[both chuckle]
Lay it on me.
I lost my baby.
Six months along,
and she just stopped.
She stopped growing.
Her heart stopped beating.
She just stopped living.
She just was there one day,
and the next day, she was gone.
And I'm mad.
I am so mad.
I'm mad all the time.
I'm mad this happened.
I'm mad at my husband,
who's basically perfect,
isn't perfect enough.
I'm mad
I failed at being a mother.
And the worst part is
I'm mad at her.
I'm mad at my daughter
for leaving me.
She's the one thing I wanted
the most in this world.
How could I be mad at her?
I feel like I don't
even know who I am anymore.
Yeah.
Losing someone you love
is hard enough.
But, like, you're mourning
the part of you
that died with them.
Grief makes you do
and feel things that
you never thought possible.
Did you lose someone?
It still doesn't feel real.
We had so much left to do.
My life wasn't supposed
to be this way.
I wasn't supposed
to be this way. [sniffles]
I get that.
And you'll do anything
to make it go away.
Yeah.
I fear I may have made
a deal with the Devil.
Huh.
We've lived
in the same building for years.
I'm sorry, this is
the first time we've talked.
Me too.
I'm Joni.
Sara. And I know.
-Oh, yeah?
-Oh, yeah.
Sisters of 710.
Your potlucks are legendary.
I-- I'm sorry,
did, did you say 710?
-Yeah.
-You're positive that it's 710?
Yeah.
Thank you. Thank you, thank you.
I hope I can get there.

["After You Get What You Want,
You Don't Want It"
by Van and Schenck]
I'm home.
Listen to me, honey dear
Something's wrong with you
I fear
It's getting harder
to please you every year
I don't want
to make you blue...
I was able to get off early.
I didn't like
how we left things earlier.
Like a lot of people I know
Here's what's wrong
with you...
It smells amazing in here.
After you get what you want
You don't want it
If I gave you the moon
You'd grow tired of it soon
You're like a baby...
Honey.
[Sara]
She came back to us.
[tense music]
[dramatic piano music]
And we didn't
even have to try again.
[Joni breathing shakily]
Fuck.

You're not supposed to be here.
You're not supposed to be here.
I know I am not

Just tell me where Emily is.
You're not supposed to be here.
I know I'm not
supposed to be here!
-Just tell me where Emily is!
-[echoing]
You're not supposed to...
You're not supposed to be...
Not supposed to be here...
You're not supposed to be here.
[woman]
What are you on?
What?
What are you on?
I'm not on anything.
What floor am I on?
You're on two, babe.
Fuck did I get on two?
-This place is a labyrinth.
-[chuckles]
Enjoy your trip.
[sighs]
[metal music]
Oh. Ooops.
Gracie. Hi!
Belinda.
-[stops music]
-Hey. What's up?
So sorry. Um,
I just wanted to remind you
that rent's due tomorrow.
[chuckles] Yeah.
For sure. No problem.
It's just that, um, you know,
you were a few days late
last month,
and, yeah,
just want to make sure
you get it in on time.
Yeah. Um,
you will get rent tomorrow.
Uh, are you gonna wash
that skillet?
Yeah.
I'm just gonna let it soak.
You not going into work tonight?
Called in sick.
Well, you know,
I hate to be a bother,
but you still owe me
for the power bill last month.
I sent you a payment request,
so if you could just
get that to me,
that would be great.
Sure.
Thank you for the reminder.
Also, could you move your
music stuff and your guitar
out of the common area?
I'm doing yoga tomorrow morning,
and I really need the space.
Yeah. Yeah.
I'm going to go
lay down now, though,
if, you know, if that's okay.
Oh, my God, yeah.
Oh! [chuckles]
Of course. Just whenever.
You know, but before tomorrow,
'cause I do yoga pretty early.
Yeah.
Got it.
[eerie music]
[voices whispering]
[whispering continues]
[metal music playing
over cell phone]
[knocks on door]
Yeah?
I just wanted to see
if you need anything.
Cup of tea, maybe.
You said
you weren't feeling well.
And I find that chamomile
always does the trick.
Um, sure.
Okay.
Yeah.
Great.
Thanks.
[dramatic music building]
Hey.
I just wanted to say thanks
for making me a cup of tea.
Not a problem.
What are roommates for?
Yeah, and, um, sorry
about leaving these
in the living room.
I'll get better at that.
Oh, well, thanks for saying so.
Yeah, I just took them
off to trim my toenails.
And, anyway,
I will get better at picking up
the socks next time.
Toenails in the common area?
In the living room? Yeah.
Anyway, um, lots of cream
and sugar in my tea, please.
-[pot whistle blowing]
-Thanks.
[dramatic music]
[Belinda]
Here you go.
I'll just set this
on your nightstand.
Belinda.
Thanks again.
You're a pretty great roommate.
I appreciate you.

Gracie?

Belinda... this is why
you need to do things right
the first time.
[sighs] Okay.
Body. Check.
Last I checked, I just need...
[dramatic music]
[shuffling]
[Belinda gasps]
Gracie?
[taps]
Gracie?
Fuck!
Gracie, come out.
Come out right now!
Come on!
Where the fuck are you?
Get out here!
Bitch!
Gracie.
[metal clanking]
[exhales]
[calmly] Gracie.
I apologize.
It was a mistake.
I made a mistake.
Please come out
so we can have a discussion.
Gracie, are you in my room?
I've told you
not to go into my room.

Oh, my, God.
Can't you just
lighten the fuck up?
You label your eggs.
It's insane.
[scoffs] Gracie, I have to.
You won't eat them.
Belinda, you did it
on the first day, okay?
You could have waited
until I fucked up
before you got
all passive-aggressive.
I have a lot
of past roommate trauma,
and I need you to respect that
and my boundaries.
You could just try
to be a normal person,
take all that woo-woo shit
you're into
and apply it to your life,
not just your blog.
Fuck you.
I help people.
[laughs]
You are a terrible roommate.
I shouldn't even have roommates.
Ugh! You think
I want to live with you?
I should be on tour. [sobs]
I hate you.
[sobbing] I hate you too.
[sighs]
So, now what?
[sighs]
I don't know.
[breathing heavily]
You want to order some Thai?
[man]
Hey, guys.
Do you think you could
keep it down just a skosh?
I got to work in the morning.
My job requires a lot of focus
and attention to detail.
Good night.

Emily.
Hey.
There you are.
Oh, you found your jacket.
Thought you might miss
our nightly smoke.
I know we only said one a day,
but I'm on my second,
waiting for you.
[chuckles]
That is a dorky shirt.
You look like shit.
[Joni cries]
Oh.
[Emily]
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey.
You know, I was just kidding.
I didn't mean it.
You look, you look great.
It's not that. [laughs]
I just...
I, I missed you, and I'm...
[sighs]
I had a really long day.
Tell me about it.
My shift at Phillies
was way too long.
Wait, Phillies?
I'm sorry. You work
at Phillies, not Conway's?
Conway's?
What's Conway's?
No, weirdo.
I've worked at Phillies for,
like, four years.
You know that.
Are you okay?
Yeah. What about Mom and Dad?
Where are they?
Jo, what?
What do you mean,
where are they?
Where they've been for years.
At Saint Michael's Cemetery.
Okay, so they're gone here too.
"Gone here too"?
Jo, what is going on?
Did you, like,
hit your head or something?
Are you sure you're okay?
Yeah, I'm okay.
I am now.
Just...
...seeing your face
makes it all worth it.
You saw me this morning,
like you do every morning.
That's the thing, though,
Em, I don't.
Where I'm from, you're gone.
You are from here. From Brody.
We grew up at the Benedict.
What do you mean, I'm gone?
You are, um...
You know, it doesn't matter.
We're together now. [sniffles]
Are you in some kind
of trouble or something?
You're scaring me.
[voices whispering]
No, no, no, no!
Just leave me alone!
-Joni.
-[man whispering]
You're not supposed to be here.
Who is that?
[man]
Be not afraid.
Get away from us.
Leave us alone.
Do you even realize
what you have done?
I've done nothing wrong.
I just want
to be with my sister.
Leave me alone.
Please... Joni,
you need to come with me.
No. I just found her.
What's he talking about?
What does he want with you?
You should not be here.
Just your presence
has caused untold pain.
You are not supposed to be here.
I can't live in a world
with her not in it.
Please.
[sighs]
Let this world.
This is not yours.
Everything that
you have touched
has turned to ash.
You have turned day to night.
Up to down.
You have turned
the natural to preternatural.
You do not belong here.
[gasps]
That is just a fraction
of what you've done
by coming here.
You have meddled
where you don't belong,
used power that is not yours.
I don't care. I don't care.
I'd do it again.
The version of you
that resides here,
the Joni whose life this is
will be home soon,
looking for her sister.
I have kept you
from yourself all day.
And if you shall meet...
...well, there'll be
no fixing this.
I can't lose her again.
I understand your pain, Joni.
But should you choose to stay...
...you'll destroy this world.
Joni, what's happening to me?
[Joni]
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
[choking, coughing]
[grunting in pain]
Please help her.
I can't.
Only you can.
You must accept your fate.
Please... Joni, make the choice.
Look at me. Look at me.
I am so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I love you.
I love you.
I will always love you.
I love you.

It's fine. I will survive.
Wait, wait. Um...
Can you tell me
where I am

Here as in the Benedict?
Aren't you that Joni chick?

-Hey, Hank.
-[Hank] Amber,
how's my favorite client
on this fine morning?
-Old.
-Right.
So I have good news,
and I have bad news.
Which one first?
Bad news.
They passed on you.
Great.
Now I can't even book
a movie called Meca Conda.
You're too good
for that movie anyway.
Now, ready for the good news?
-Hank.
-Sean Roland's
new movie is gearing up,
and guess who
he wants to audition.
[enchanting music]
Are you serious?
As a heart attack.
Hank, I love you.
The catch is they want
to see you as soon as possible.
-Can you head there now?
-Yeah.
I mean, I need to get ready,
but yes, not a problem.
Great.
I'll text you the address.
Hank, I could kiss you.
Yes!
Wow. Good news?
Wow. Okay.
What was that for?
-Did you spill something?
-Uh, stupid neighbor.
Guess who has an audition
for the new Sean Roland film.
-Holy shit! That's amazing.
-Yes!
What about that other movie,
Meca Conda?
Eh, they passed. Who cares?
Anyways, this is Sean Roland!
That is amazing, Am.
That's really exciting.
What do you think
of this shirt with these pants?
-Um, I got that meeting.
-You know,
it's been so long
since I've had, like,
a real meaty part
that I can sink my teeth into.
God, I hope it's a good one.
[exhales] Okay,
I need to get ready,
so shoo-shoo-shoo.
All right, all right.
-Roland! Yes!
-Proud of you.
Whoo!
[clattering]
[suspenseful music]
[screams]
Any ideas?
[man]
I have no clue.
You'd probably call a plumber.
Aren't you the building manager?
Why don't you call the plumber?
[man]
Uh, okay, I'll do that.
[water flushing]
The water is running fine now.
We're still working on all
the renovations on this floor.
Thank you so much.
And I'd offer you coffee,
but I really got to get ready.
Big audition today.
Wow, great! What for?
Uh, new Sean Roland film.
Very big part.
Got to look my best. [chuckles]
Wow, that's terrific.
You know,
I take pictures myself.
-I was just on my way--
-Oh, wow. So sweet.
-Um, thanks for fixing
the drain. Okay, I gotta go.
-Oh, no. No problem.
-Bye.
-By the way,
you have something on your fa--
Okay. You got this.
You can do it.
[sighs] This is your...
What the hell?
Oh, you can't
break out tomorrow?
No.
Not today, not today.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
[sighs] Oh, damn it!
[Hank]
Hello, beautiful.
Ready to knock 'em dead today?
Hank, listen. I am breaking out
in a freakish rash,
-and I need you to reschedule.
-A rash?
What about that, uh,
skin shit you used to hawk?
I'm all out.
Have you tried covering it up?
-Hank, can you reschedule?
-I, I don't know if I can.
-They were pretty adamant
that it had to be today.
-[sighs]
Uh, you know, Internet has
some home remedies if you look.
Those things don't work!
They're ridiculous!
Hey, y'all, Belinda here,
and welcome back
to my series on DIY self-care.
Today, we're going
to be making a skin cream
that will leave you
feeling refreshed, restored,
and your skin looking radiant.
Here's what you'll need.
Asparagus, turmeric,
lima beans,
baking soda, and sardines.
I know. Ugh, sardines.
'Cause the omega-3 fatty acids
are going to work wonders
for your skin.
And, as always,
you're going to want to use
organic ingredients
whenever possible.
Don't forget
to like and subscribe.

-[William] Hello?
-Oh, William. [inhales sharply]
Sweetie, I am not doing so well.
I'm breaking out
in a terrible rash.
I did some home remedy
that made me,
made me vomit everywhere.
And I'm sweaty, and I'm gross.
And I don't think
I can do the audition.
[William] It's okay, sweetie.
Uh, maybe you just
need to relax. Take a deep--
[exclaims] Don't fucking
tell me to relax!
[William]
Look, I'm just about to go
into this meeting.
-As soon as it's done--
-William!
Today will be the day
that changes
the rest of my life.
Finally, the comeback I deserve!
Do you think they're just
handing out roles
to former child stars
in their forties?
[William]
You're right. Okay.
Um, I'll figure it out.
What do you need? What can I do?
I need you to go
and get a skin cream.
Uh, Katrina's Beauty Supply.
It's called Seprina skin fixer.
-[William] All right.
-Seprina skin fixer.
-Got it?
-Yep, I, I got it.
-I'll be there
as soon as I can.
-Okay.
Hey, I love you.

Hey, Am.
What happened in the kitchen?
Holy shit.
[sobbing] I know!
What happened?
It's like the worst day ever.
It was like...
First the coffee,
and then the sink,
and now this.
I don't, I don't--
I think you need a doctor,
not a skin cream.
Why, why didn't you
go to the ER?
I thought it was
gonna clear up by now!
Can you give me some water?
I'm, like, really thirsty.
Yeah.
[sighs]
Oh, wow.
That's really gross.
[William]
Hey, Am?
I'm pretty sure that this is
supposed to go on the rash.
Did you drink it?
I was desperate!
Look, I, I know that you're
anxious with this audition,
but it's going to be fine.
You're-- It's--
Everything's going to work out.
You just got to--
Oh! Son of a...
[knock on door]
[William]
Hey, sweetness.
I need to get in there.
I cut myself.
I, I need to get
the first-aid kit.
Cut myself pretty bad.
[breath shuddering]
[breathing heavily]
Thanks.
-Hey, hey.
-[Amber weeping]
Hey, hey. Come here. Come here.
Hey.
It's okay.
Everything's going to be fine.
You are beautiful
no matter what.
They can reschedule, right?
Don't they know who you are?
They're lucky to have you
even consider doing their movie.
You are worth waiting for.
Hey... [chuckles]
I have really got
to patch this up, okay?
It won't take long.
[voices whispering]
[sinister music]
[William]
Hey. What--
[Amber moans]
-[William] What--
-[moans]
That's, uh...
That's weird.
Okay. O-- okay.
Please, just...
[voices whispering]
[William]
Whoa! Hey!
Stop. What-- [groans]
What is wrong with you?
Sorry.
I couldn't help myself.
Please, just... [sighs]
Let me get this patched up.
[voices whispering]
[object clatters]
[voices fade]
Look... I know that you are
nervous about this audition.
Everything happens
for a reason, babe.
Everything.
You know, maybe,
maybe you weren't
supposed to be in this movie.
You know, may--
[slashes]

[body thuds]
[tense music builds]
[exhales]
Thank God you're here.
But what apartment?

[Amber]
Hank, forget about canceling.
All cleared up now.
[Hank over cell phone]
Fantastic. How'd you do it?
[Amber]
I used a home remedy.
[tense music builds]

Are you okay?
Mm.
Wish me luck.

Emily.
Emily.
Emily!
What's going on out here?
Who's shouting
up and down this hallway?
-Who are you?
-I'm--
Who are you?
How did you get in here?
You don't belong here.
What did you bring here?
What evil did you bring here?
Hi. Could you guys keep it down?
No.
This woman is trespassing.
She doesn't belong here.
Oh, that's
what's-her-name's sister.
They live upstairs.
I know who Emily and Joni are.
And this is not Joni.
Um, okay.
Well, if you could keep it down,
that'd be great.
Yeah.
Thanks.
[Joni]
We'll do. No problem.
-Jesus! What--
-Shh.
Shut up. Shut up!
You're right,
I don't belong here.
I need to find Emily.
What do you want with her?
Are you gonna hurt her?
No.
No, I lost her once,
and I can't lose her again.
Please.
I think she's on five.
Apartment 510.
Thank you.
[voices whispering]
[menacing music]
You better go.
Thank you.
[serene music]
Some strange stuff
happening today.
I know I'm not losing it.
[flies buzzing]
That was not the Joni I know.
She was something else.
I could have
handled that better.
Ellie...
...you'd have known what to do.
[flies buzzing]
[melancholic music]

[knock on door]
Leonard. Good to see you.
-How are you?
-Mr. Lewis, good.
Uh, I got your mail for you.
Uh...
How are you doing today?
Oh, well enough. Well enough.
How's that young lady
you've been seeing?
Good. Uh, going good.
Um, taking it slow.
Would you like
to come in for a bite?
-I could use the company.
-[man] I brought food, Dad.
Declan.
I didn't expect you
coming over today.
Thought I'd drop by.
You know what? I'm going
to let you two catch up.
Um, I'll see you later, Jude.
Good to see you.
[slow atmospheric music]
[Declan]
I was thinking
we could take this food
and eat it at the park.
It's a nice day out.
No need for all that.
Nice, huh?
I would have cleaned up
if I'd known
you were coming over.
Would you have, Dad?
How would you have
cleaned up all this?
Oh, come on now.
It ain't all that bad.
When are you going
to do this, Dad?
You can't live like this.
Come on, take a load off.
Let me,
let me make a space here
on the table where we can eat.
[grunting softly]
Tell me about your week.
How's work?
How's the little ones
and the lovely Natalie?
Dad, please.
We could talk about me
till the cows come home.
I want to know
what's going on with my son.
You don't call as much anymore.
Been a while since you came by.
Work's good.
I'm on a new beat.
Way less nights.
Natalie's good.
She just got a promotion
at the job, so that's nice.
And the kids are...
rambunctious.
They miss you.
Well, bring the tykes over.
Got lots of sweets for them.
Dad, you know I can't
bring them over here.
I can't have them
see you like this.
Like what?

Mom's been dead a year, Dad.
You need to let me help you
or you need
to get professional help.
Hodgepodge. I'm fine.
How about I come
and visit you guys?
Last time you came over,
you brought roaches with you.
It took us over a month
to get rid of them.
You never told me that.
Well... I'm telling you now.
What'd you bring?
-Cajun.
-Ooh.
Your mother loved Cajun food.
She never did
quite, uh, perfect her gumbo,
but her blackened chicken--
Could bring a man to his knees.
I miss her too.
Dad, let me help you clean up.
Please.
Do you think mom would
want you to live like this?
Let's get started.
-Take this to the trash.
-No!
Why not?
You didn't use to be like this.
Some of your mother's things
are in there.
Like what? Did she eat out
of this TV dinner tray?
Yes.
Two days before she died.
-And this newspaper!
-No!
-No. No. No.
-Dad, it's trash!
-No. No.
-It's trash, Dad!
-It's all trash!
-No. No.
-You're living in squalor!
-No.
-No.
-You're going to die in filth!
Get out.
What?
Dad!
Just leave.
Please don't take our things.
Declan.
I love you, son.
Always have.

H-- h-- how is this possible?
[Eleanor]
Anything is possible with love.
I, I've missed you too, Ellie.
[Eleanor]
What happened?
I've been so lonely.
You weren't supposed
to go before me.
I'm not strong enough
to be here without you.
You were always
so much better at life.
Great wife...
...a great mother,
and the life of the party.
Everybody loved you.
A husband should
never outlive his wife.
It's not fair.
It's not supposed
to be like this.
[melancholic music]
Why did you go without me?

Come with me now.

Did you

Is that why
you took my pictures?
You can't be real.
This isn't real.
Why, Leonard?
[otherworldly voice] Look at me!
Because, because I killed you.
[normal] And why
did you kill me, Leonard?
[Leonard]
Hey, Katherine.
[Katherine]
Is that what
you think happened?
Is that how you view me?
[Katherine
in otherworldly voice]
Let me help you see clearly.
Hi, Katherine.
Hey, Leonard. How's it going?
-[man] It's good to see you.
-[Katherine] Yeah, you too.
You let that man defile you,
run his hands all over you.
I know he has a wife.
[Katherine]
I know he has a wife too.
I know he has a wife,
because he's my brother-in-law.
But the question, Leonard,
is how do you know
he has a wife?
How long have you been
stalking me, Leonard?
I keep tabs on you. So what?
I just want to make sure
you're okay.
I want to make sure
that you're safe.
I don't want anybody
to hurt you.
[Katherine]
Except you hurt me, Leonard.
Don't say my name.
[Katherine, echoing]
Isn't that what you wanted?
To have only your name
on my lips.
To have me close to you.
To have me feel you.
I just didn't want him
to touch you!
[otherworldly voice]
I'm only meant
to be touched by you?
Hi, Katherine.
Can I borrow a wine opener?
I've got some friends
coming over later, and I rea--
[camera flashes]
Katherine,
I'm not that kind of guy.
I'd like to take you out first.
Treat you like you deserve.
I said no!
[Katherine chuckles]
[otherworldly voice]
We really are the heroes
of our own stories.
Oh, Leonard.
How delusional are you?
We all know
you don't have friends.
Stop!
-Stop it!
-Stop!
Stop what?
I'm only showing you
what you have done.
Face what you have done!
Hey, Leonard.
Hey, Katherine.
What's up?
I was wondering if, um, maybe
you wanted to hang out tonight.
Oh, [sighs] crap.
I can't. Um,
I'm actually not feeling well.
I was just going to go to bed.
I have a big day tomorrow.
[chuckles]
But maybe we can
hang out this weekend.
I could get one of the girls
on seven to have
one of their famous potlucks.
Let's touch base tomorrow, okay?
Okay?
-All right. Um...
-[voices whispering]
Have a good night.
Good night.
-[dramatic music]
-Good night!
Did you have a good night?
Did you have
a good night with him?
Leonard, please.
Don't say my name.
You don't deserve
to call me that.

You're just like
the rest of them.

You were supposed

I'll do whatever you want.

It was going to be a nice day.
A little catch up,
but nothing out of the ordinary.
Now, it will be
the worst day of her life.
It will haunt her forever
knowing that I was murdered.
[otherworldly voice]
Murdered by a weak man.
By a coward.
Please don't call me that.
I will never see my sister again
because you are a coward.
My dad won't give
me away at my wedding
because you are a coward.
I will never hear
the laughter of my children
because you are a coward!
What do you want from me?
Nothing!
I want nothing from you!
Tell me what to do.
Tell me what to do.

You can do nothing!
You are nothing!

I don't know what to do.
I don't know

[woman]
Well, I know
what you want from me.
[man]
I want nothing more
than to be here with you.
[woman]
No, you don't!
You, you get to go out
and do whatever you want,
whenever you want.
Good times, Tim. Right?
And then
when the times get tough,
he's out the fucking door!
Hey! I've been here
through it all.
You think I want to go
to some shitty job?
I want to be here with my wife.
I miss you.
I've been doing my best.
No.
You haven't.
Whatever this is,
it's not your best.
Then what is?
What more can I do?
If there's something else,
please tell me.
It wasn't supposed
to be this way.
It wasn't.
[weeping]
I know.
I know you're hurting.
-I know it's been hard.
-No, you don't know!
Y-- you have no idea!
Your body didn't betray you.
You didn't feel her kick one day
and the next day she was gone.
You weren't a father.
You're not the only one in pain.
I'm not allowed to talk
about what I want, what I feel.
There's only room
for your grief.
Your hurt.
We're supposed to be
going through this together.
But I'm not allowed
to touch you,
let alone
even talk about trying again.
You're crazy if you think losing
our baby hasn't killed me.
-I'm not crazy. Fuck you!
-Stop!
-Stop!
-No! Fuck you!
You don't want
to try again, fine!
You don't want
to touch me, fine!
But get up and do something.
Go for a walk.
Call up the girls.
Take a shower.
I don't know. Try doing laundry.
You'll feel better
if you do something.
Anything.
I lost my baby too.
You don't see me sitting around
feeling sorry for myself.
Life has to move on.
[keys jingle]
I'm sorry.
I'll be home as soon as I can.
I love you.

I bio-chem on Tuesday nights,

I'm wide open.
-Madison.
-I'm certified in CPR, and--
-Madison, I'm...
I didn't tell you, but...
I'm... so sorry.
And here I was
rambling on about it. I'm...
It's fine.
-[chuckles softly]
-Maybe you could try again.
I should get back
to laundry room before somebody
steals my machine. [chuckles]
It's fine.
Don't worry about it, Mad.
I'll see ya.
[melancholic music]
[gasps]
-Are you okay?
-[exhales]
No, no. Actually, I'm not okay.
Are you okay?
No.
[both chuckle]
Lay it on me.
I lost my baby.
Six months along,
and she just stopped.
She stopped growing.
Her heart stopped beating.
She just stopped living.
She just was there one day,
and the next day, she was gone.
And I'm mad.
I am so mad.
I'm mad all the time.
I'm mad this happened.
I'm mad at my husband,
who's basically perfect,
isn't perfect enough.
I'm mad
I failed at being a mother.
And the worst part is
I'm mad at her.
I'm mad at my daughter
for leaving me.
She's the one thing I wanted
the most in this world.
How could I be mad at her?
I feel like I don't
even know who I am anymore.
Yeah.
Losing someone you love
is hard enough.
But, like, you're mourning
the part of you
that died with them.
Grief makes you do
and feel things that
you never thought possible.
Did you lose someone?
It still doesn't feel real.
We had so much left to do.
My life wasn't supposed
to be this way.
I wasn't supposed
to be this way. [sniffles]
I get that.
And you'll do anything
to make it go away.
Yeah.
I fear I may have made
a deal with the Devil.
Huh.
We've lived
in the same building for years.
I'm sorry, this is
the first time we've talked.
Me too.
I'm Joni.
Sara. And I know.
-Oh, yeah?
-Oh, yeah.
Sisters of 710.
Your potlucks are legendary.
I-- I'm sorry,
did, did you say 710?
-Yeah.
-You're positive that it's 710?
Yeah.
Thank you. Thank you, thank you.
I hope I can get there.

Listen to me, honey dear
Something's wrong with you
I fear
It's getting harder
to please you every year
I don't want
to make you blue...
I was able to get off early.
I didn't like
how we left things earlier.
Like a lot of people I know
Here's what's wrong
with you...
It smells amazing in here.
After you get what you want
You don't want it
If I gave you the moon
You'd grow tired of it soon
You're like a baby...

Belinda.
-[stops music]

So sorry. Um,
I just wanted to remind you
that rent's due tomorrow.
[chuckles] Yeah.
For sure. No problem.
It's just that, um, you know,
you were a few days late
last month,
and, yeah,
just want to make sure
you get it in on time.
Yeah. Um,
you will get rent tomorrow.
Uh, are you gonna wash
that skillet?
Yeah.
I'm just gonna let it soak.
You not going into work tonight?
Called in sick.
Well, you know,
I hate to be a bother,
but you still owe me
for the power bill last month.
I sent you a payment request,
so if you could just
get that to me,
that would be great.
Sure.
Thank you for the reminder.
Also, could you move your
music stuff and your guitar
out of the common area?
I'm doing yoga tomorrow morning,
and I really need the space.
Yeah. Yeah.
I'm going to go
lay down now, though,
if, you know, if that's okay.
Oh, my God, yeah.
Oh! [chuckles]
Of course. Just whenever.
You know, but before tomorrow,
'cause I do yoga pretty early.
Yeah.
Got it.

if you need anything.
Cup of tea, maybe.
You said
you weren't feeling well.
And I find that chamomile
always does the trick.
Um, sure.
Okay.
Yeah.
Great.
Thanks.
[dramatic music building]
Hey.
I just wanted to say thanks
for making me a cup of tea.
Not a problem.
What are roommates for?
Yeah, and, um, sorry
about leaving these
in the living room.
I'll get better at that.
Oh, well, thanks for saying so.
Yeah, I just took them
off to trim my toenails.
And, anyway,
I will get better at picking up
the socks next time.
Toenails in the common area?
In the living room? Yeah.
Anyway, um, lots of cream
and sugar in my tea, please.

Belinda, you did it
on the first day, okay?
You could have waited
until I fucked up
before you got
all passive-aggressive.
I have a lot
of past roommate trauma,
and I need you to respect that
and my boundaries.
You could just try
to be a normal person,
take all that woo-woo shit
you're into
and apply it to your life,
not just your blog.
Fuck you.
I help people.

That is a dorky shirt.
You look like shit.

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey.
You know, I was just kidding.
I didn't mean it.
You look, you look great.
It's not that. [laughs]
I just...
I, I missed you, and I'm...
[sighs]
I had a really long day.
Tell me about it.
My shift at Phillies
was way too long.
Wait, Phillies?
I'm sorry. You work
at Phillies, not Conway's?
Conway's?
What's Conway's?
No, weirdo.
I've worked at Phillies for,
like, four years.
You know that.
Are you okay?
Yeah. What about Mom and Dad?
Where are they?
Jo, what?
What do you mean,
where are they?
Where they've been for years.
At Saint Michael's Cemetery.
Okay, so they're gone here too.
"Gone here too"?
Jo, what is going on?
Did you, like,
hit your head or something?
Are you sure you're okay?
Yeah, I'm okay.
I am now.
Just...
...seeing your face
makes it all worth it.
You saw me this morning,
like you do every morning.
That's the thing, though,
Em, I don't.
Where I'm from, you're gone.
You are from here. From Brody.
We grew up at the Benedict.
What do you mean, I'm gone?
You are, um...
You know, it doesn't matter.
We're together now. [sniffles]
Are you in some kind
of trouble or something?
You're scaring me.
[voices whispering]
No, no, no, no!
Just leave me alone!
-Joni.
-[man whispering]
You're not supposed to be here.
Who is that?
[man]
Be not afraid.
Get away from us.
Leave us alone.
Do you even realize
what you have done?
I've done nothing wrong.
I just want
to be with my sister.
Leave me alone.
Please... Joni,
you need to come with me.
No. I just found her.
What's he talking about?
What does he want with you?
You should not be here.
Just your presence
has caused untold pain.
You are not supposed to be here.
I can't live in a world
with her not in it.
Please.
[sighs]
Let this world.
This is not yours.
Everything that
you have touched
has turned to ash.
You have turned day to night.
Up to down.
You have turned
the natural to preternatural.
You do not belong here.
[gasps]
That is just a fraction
of what you've done
by coming here.
You have meddled
where you don't belong,
used power that is not yours.
I don't care. I don't care.
I'd do it again.
The version of you
that resides here,
the Joni whose life this is
will be home soon,
looking for her sister.
I have kept you
from yourself all day.
And if you shall meet...
...well, there'll be
no fixing this.
I can't lose her again.
I understand your pain, Joni.
But should you choose to stay...
...you'll destroy this world.
Joni, what's happening to me?
[Joni]
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
[choking, coughing]
[grunting in pain]
Please help her.
I can't.
Only you can.
You must accept your fate.
Please... Joni, make the choice.
Look at me. Look at me.
I am so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I love you.
I love you.
I will always love you.
I love you.
[both weeping]
[emotional music]
