(THUNDER CRACKING) Savannah. What's wrong? There's something in my room. (THUNDER CRACKING) See? No monsters. Do you want me to check under the bed? Okay. No monsters. Should I check the closet just so we're safe? No, don't go in there. Are you sure? I can check just so we know. No Mommy, please. I'm not scared anymore. Don't go in there. I told you you have nothing to be afraid of. Darkness is just darkness, nothing more. Now into bed. Can I have my flashlight? You want me to sing you a song? (THUNDER CRACKING) It's just a storm sweetheart. Cold blows the wind tonight my love Cold are the drops of rain I only had but one true love And in Greenwood he lies slain I'll do as much for my true love As any young girl may I'll sit and mourn all by his grave For 12 months and a day (EERIE MUSIC) (DOOR CREAKING OPEN) (UNSETTLING MUSIC) (THUNDER CRACKING) (BREATHING HEAVILY) (DOOR CREAKING) (THUNDER BOOMING) (UNNERVING MUSIC) (GROWLING) (UNNERVING MUSIC) (ROARING) (SCREAMING) (CRYING) (SHUSHING) Hush now, Mommy's here. (SHUSHING) Tried to work hard Now as time goes on I think so much of you Well I tried at first not to love you But I'm not in love with you Well I tried at first not to ever take your hand Tried so awful hard to never be your man But now as time goes on dear I think so much of you I tried at first not to love you But I'm now in love with you (BIRDS CHIRPING) Adam, you better shake off these new guy jitters and get serious. - I don't have the jitters. - Yes you do. ADAM: No really I don't. Your face looks like shit. You don't even have your badge. Maybe my face looks like this naturally and my badge is on back order so. Huh, well maybe it's your first day on the job, you're really trying to impress and you got the jitters. I got news for you, the chief don't impress. Or maybe I'm just curious about what we're gonna find out here. Or maybe... Maybe you two should shut up. (FLIES BUZZING) (GROANING) Where's the rest of it? Good question. Ms. Palmer said her dog drug it up this morning. Think it could be the Linemen brothers? Maybe. You think the Linemen brothers would go this far Chief? Probably not. I have the feeling it's gonna be a pretty long weekend boys. Just a reminder sir, it's Leeland's graduation weekend. - I'm aware. - Think Savannah will show? 50/50. You don't think she'll at least show for Leeland? Alright let's get the... - Stache. - Sorry. Let's get the Linemen brothers down to the station. If they do know something we're gonna find out. Yes sir. Who's Savannah? My daughter. ("I'M UP" BY CHRIS SHINN) Come on rook. Am I late? Did I sleep to long? I kept this secret too close Now I'm up What do you want from me? What do you need? I'm up Who do you think you are? You miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut. I'm up Who do you think you are? Hey there doll. What do you need? Hey. Mama's gonna go stay at Jack's for a little bit. You're gonna go stay with Jenna, just for a little bit okay? (DOG WHIMPERING) You think I'm lazier than hell And I don't blame you - Good morning Ms. Martin. - Good morning Bill. - Have a nice day. - Yeah you too. CHRIS ON RADIO: Hello and welcome to Get High in the Morning with Chris Isaac. - And Kelly Rae. - Thanks for listening folks. We've got a real treat for you today because last night Kelly and I had the opportunity to sit down with a young author that has taken the world by storm with her debut best selling book All Light Will End. Obviously I'm talking about Savannah Martin, in the house, on the show, here we go. So sit back, relax and get ready for some ear porn. Savannah thanks for being here today. Thank you for having me Chris. I want to start off by saying I absolutely love this book, but frankly it scared the hell out of me. God, me too. I didn't sleep for three days after I read this book. So maybe tell us a little bit about what inspired you to write the book. Sure, well as a little girl I struggled with some really vivid night terrors and as I got older it was just something I wanted to voice. Maybe to come to terms with it and move on. See I thought it was absolutely genius that you wrote the book from the mother's perspective. Yeah me too, me too. What made you decide to write from that... (CLOCK TICKING) It's been a while since we last spoke. Yeah. How are things? Good. Mostly, yeah. It's been real good. Are you still seeing Jack? Mm-hmm, yeah, we're still together. Well that's good. Is it getting serious? I don't know. Maybe. Well your career seems to be doing very well. Yeah I suppose so. Are you still taking your medication? Yes. - I'm not crazy or anything. - And how are you sleeping? Good, most days. THERAPIST: Have you noticed any recurring thoughts, images, things you can't shake out of your head? I have this nightmare sometimes, that I'm trapped. Trapped where? A psychiatric ward. So you've been experiencing more night terrors. The medication I prescribed for you can help over time, but unfortunately there are certain side effects that sometimes make them worse. What happens to them? Well, there've been cases in which the patients have a difficult time in deciding where the dream ends and reality begins or they live in what we call a fugue state in which they disassociate, but in your particular case we... Did you experience this dream recently? No. THERAPIST: Oh, well good. But it happens, I mean, happened to me, not disassociation but occasionally the dreams would get blurry. You know sometimes it would feel like I brought the dream back with me. You know even now when I'm with friends and other people I can still see it in a dark corner staring back at me. What's staring back at you? The thing that's waiting for me when I go to sleep. And what do you think that represents? I don't know, you're the psych, you tell me. (LAUGHING) Well it could mean a number of things. Have you any feelings of guilt, persecution, things like that? I feel... (UNSETTLING MUSIC) I feel guilty that I can't remember that night. I try but I can't, it's just a blur. You know the thing that haunts me the most is why she did it. You know, what was so bad about her life that she had... Your mother's death was not your fault. We all have inner demons and sometimes those inner demons win. (UNNERVING MUSIC) (BIRDS CHIRPING) Your dad asked me to drop this by. The doctors did everything they could. By the time the paramedics got there she had... I think your mother would want you to know it's not your fault okay? Thank you. Yeah. I got a text from my father today. Well that's good. Yeah, yeah, it just said that my younger brother is graduating this weekend and invited me to come. I think it'd be a great opportunity. An opportunity to? To reconcile with your father. Yeah. I don't think he wants to reconcile with me. I think he might. Sometimes it's difficult for fathers to express themselves. Yeah maybe. I just, I don't think so. THERAPIST: But what makes you say that? Because he's the only one that knows the truth. I see. (COUNTRY MUSIC) We can do this the easy way or the hard way. Makes no difference to me. I'm going in for my first day I told you he didn't kill nobody. DAVID: That's what you said but... Why the hell would I do a stupid ass thing like that, huh? Think Mr. Cop. I got better things to do with my time. Like what? Like this. Okay, the hard way it is. Adam, go get my taser. A taser? Hell no, hell no. No look we said we didn't, we, I swear we didn't kill nobody, we swear it. ADAM ON WALKIE TALKIE: I'm not sure where that is. Hey Chief, got a sec? DAVID: Yeah. Ran out of donuts. Yeah, what is it now? Just got a call from Janice Peterson. Okay. Apparently she found a hand on her property. Okay. Tell Mrs. Peterson we'll be out there as soon as we can. Chief one more thing. Yeah? This one was female. You're telling me we got a second victim? Seems that way. What are the odds those two dipshits in there are capable of something like this? Not good. (SIGHING) (LAUGHING) That's because you cheat. I don't cheat. (LAUGHING) Faith. You totally cheat. Oh bullshit. Babe, do I cheat? (DRAMATIC SOMBER MUSIC) Babe. What? Do I cheat? I rest my case. You know what Paul if being awesome at everything is cheating then yeah I cheat. And he is so humble too. So we going this weekend or not? Yeah, we're down. Where are we going? Your brothers' graduation. I mean unless you don't want us to. We don't have to go. I just really haven't thought about it. I think we should go. I think it's high time your family met your boyfriend. We can stay in your parent's old cabin. Listen babe if you're not comfortable we don't have to go. It's okay. Sorry, what's that? Okay we'll go. - Yeah alright, good. - Cheers to that. Clinkies. Are there any good places to shop there? (LAUGHING) What? No. (LAUGHING) There's not. I'm sure it'll still be fun. Yeah. (CHUCKLING) Alright come on, let's go superstar, you're up. Oh am I? Okay. Alright I got one. I can only live where there's light, but I die if the light shines on me. What am I? (GASPING) Jack, put down your phone. I'm texting for work. Cheater. (LAUGHING) JACK: It's fine, fine I don't need the phone. A shadow. SAVANNAH: You got it. - My smart man, look at you. - Yeah. - You're sexy. - Give me another one. Get a room, Jesus Christ. Speaking of that, Savannah can we crash here tonight? I drank way too much to drive. Savannah? This is my house. Also can we maybe not sleep on the couch this time? There's not a whole lot of room for. Okay cool I'm fine with you guys staying here or whatever. (MOANING) Fucking Paul. (MOANING) You want to? (MOANING) - Oh my god. - Yeah, me neither. You okay about this weekend? Yeah, I'm fine. I mean staying at the cabin and everything. I mean as long as everybody's there I think I'll be okay. Good. Goodnight. (UNNERVING MUSIC) DIANNA: Darkness is just darkness, nothing more. (UNNERVING MUSIC) (MUFFLED TALKING) (EMERGENCY ALARM BUZZING) See? No monsters. Want me to check under the bed? Want me to check the closet just to be safe? - No, don't go in there. - Are you sure? Let me check it, just wait here. SAVANNAH: No Mommy, I'm not scared any more. Don't go in there. DIANNA: I told you you have nothing to be afraid of. (UNSETTLING MUSIC) There's someone in my room. There's someone in my room. (MUFFLED TALKING) Mommy. (MUFFLED TALKING) (UNSETTLING MUSIC) (BANGING) Hello? Mom? (UNSETTLING MUSIC) (DOOR CLOSING) (GASPING) Shit. What the fuck? (UNNERVING MUSIC) (SCREAMING) (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) (RATTLING) Damn it! (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) (GROWLING) (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) (GASPING) (ROARING) Well good morning beautiful. You okay? Do you know what time it is? Yeah it's like 10:30. The rest of us are all packed up so if you want breakfast you better get a move on. Plus I made you some coffee downstairs. You're a lifesaver, thank you. Yeah I know. Okay so how far away is this place again? It's about six hours. Oh my god, kill me. Come on babe it's not that bad. Savannah please tell me that this place has wifi. The cabin does not have wifi. No cell service either. Shit. PAUL: Uh oh. Okay so what are we gonna be doing while we're there then? I don't know, relax, read. Some board games and deck of cards. We could play strip poker. What? Oh come on guys. Savannah you got my back on this right? No, you're on your own with this one. JACK: Let's get to rambling. I've been holding out my hands Feeling somewhat special But now as time goes on dear I think But I tried at first not to love you But I tried at first not to Alright rookie what's the protocol in this situation? First we cordon off the area. - Then... - Nope. Protocol's to do whatever the chief says. I feel like that was a preemptive response. What do you have for us Mrs. Peterson? I got a head Chief, no body, just a head. I thought you said a hand? She talks really fast for an old lady. I was on my afternoon walk with Wookie. - Wookie? - Dog, shut up. He started acting strange so I followed him across the creek and I stumbled over a severed human head Chief. I won't lie, I vomited in my mouth a little. And my husband used to call that having breakfast twice. What time was it you found the head? JANICE: Oh about 2:30. (HORSE NEIGHING) Hello? Jack? Hello? (BANGING ON DOOR) Faith? Hey are you in there? (DOOR BANGING) (UNSETTLING MUSIC) (BANGING ON DOOR) Hey! (BANGING ON DOOR) Guys this is not fucking funny. Open the door. (UNNERVING MUSIC) (SHUSHING) (UNSETTLING MUSIC) - Where is she now? - Asleep. - You sure? - Yes. - We found another body today. - Who was it? DAVID: Don't know yet, it's unrecognizable, like the others. DIANNA: Any leads, suspicions? DAVID: No, I don't know what it is. Hey do me a favor will you? Could you just leave the TV off for a few days? DIANNA: For what purpose? DAVID: You know good and damn well for what purpose. I don't like what you're doing, it's wrong. She's a little girl. DIANNA: It's not hurting her and it's necessary. DAVID: Is it Dianna? (UNSETTLING MYSTERIOUS MUSIC) Savanna, hey baby we're here. Excited to be back? Charger. - I got it. - Okay. Let's go. Hey baby, you okay? Yeah, I'm fine. Memories? Yeah a few. Hey, hey hey hey, listen to me. We are gonna have a great weekend, okay? Believe me? - Yeah. - I promise. - Okay. - That's my girl. FAITH: Hey guys. Is the front door supposed to be open? Holy shit. Leeland, what the hell? What do you mean what the hell? You're the one trying to murder people with an umbrella. (LAUGHING) Nice to see you too sis. So what's up with the lights man? Oh the generator's a pull crank, it takes two. Besides I still got the basic layout memorized, see? No bumps on my shins. - Hey I'm Jack. - Leeland. SAVANNAH: This is Paul and I think you remember Faith from last summer when you came up. - Yeah didn't we... - Nope. Nope. So Leeland, about those lights buddy? I'm with you man. So how you been? Good, good mostly. How's everything down here? It's good. Slow, but good. I think we're getting a Subway. (LAUGHING) Wow Lee that's real big. I know. (LAUGHING) So how's everything else going? You mean, how's Dad? He's Dad you know, he doesn't share much. Yeah, he never has. I think he's doing alright though. He works a lot, drinks a lot. - He's alright. - Yeah. How are you? I'm good. I miss Mom. You know, I see her face sometimes in strangers, when I'm walking by I see her. That ever happen to you? You and I see very different faces when we dream. - Yeah. - Oh that's the stuff. - That's it. - That's the stuff. JACK: We can make hot dogs and things, it's gonna be great. - That's our cue. - Yeah let's not disappoint. JACK: Hey babe come on out here before this thing goes out! Guys I am totally serious. They were in one of those underwater boat things and it swam right up to the window and made eye contact with him. That is scary. It had like webbed hands and weird eyes. I thought mermaids wore seashell bikinis though. (LAUGHING) Alright, you guys all laugh it up now. They're gonna announce that mermaids are a real thing and you're gonna think about this night and be like, wow, Faith is never wrong about anything ever. My girlfriend, the one who believes in mermaids. - Shut up. - Alright, alright, alright. Let's get back to the scary stuff. Savannah why don't you tell us one of your stories? Why me? Seriously? Maybe 'cause you have the best selling scariest book of all time. Yeah, with a quote from Stephen King on the cover that says, chilled me to my very core. I'm sure it did. Hey congrats on all that by the way. Thank you. I read it, it was great. You didn't read it. I read the back of it. (LAUGHING) Alright then Leeland, you're up brother. I am not good at telling stories guys. Yes you are. I know you at least have one. Okay. Yeah, let's hear it come on. Okay, okay, alright, alright, calm it down. So I remember going fishing with my dad one morning and if you know anything about my dad well when he goes fishing he does not stop until the sun goes down. I was about seven at the time so I couldn't hold focus on much for very long and I remember I was just super exhausted and I just wanted to leave, but he just kept fishing and fishing and fishing and finally I fell asleep in the boat. I woke up as we were docking the boat and we started unloading everything and our dock was super close to Bill Hurt's cornfield and I remember it was super tall and it really freaked me out. Anyways, we're loading everything into the truck and I just get this overwhelming feeling like something or someone is watching me and at one point I looked over my shoulder and I see this thing that I have never seen before. I mean it was just this massive black creature, just staring at me emotionless. I remember I tried to get my dad's attention, but he has a super low tolerance for that sort of thing so while he's loading up the truck I'm just staring at this thing and it is staring right back at me. Finally we finish loading everything into the truck, we hop in, we start it up, we're heading down the road and I realize we have to go right past this thing. So as we get closer to it I remember yelling out to my dad, "look dad there's a monster!" And he stops the truck, he sees it too. He says, "do you see that?" I nodded my head yeah. He starts rolling down his window and I am begging him not to. I am begging him not to do it, but he does it anyways. Now that we're close to this thing, I mean it had to be seven, maybe eight feet tall. I mean it was massive and it was just staring at me, like it didn't give a damn that I knew he was there. I could feel my heart in my chest and my dad he looks over at me solemn as ever and he said, "son, that's a scarecrow." What? (LAUGHING) You've got to be kidding me. I'm like sweating over here. That scared the shit out of me man. Dude that was awesome. Hey, I did my best. Alright, I'm next. Actually I think that's it for me. - What? - Oh come on. What are you talking about? We're just getting the night started. I'm gonna tell my story. You're gonna miss it. I love your stories, but there's a nice hot shower waiting for me okay? Okay. Goodnight. - Night. - Bye. Alright, are you guys ready to shit your pants? Hold up, you know what I actually gotta take a piss. Seriously? PAUL: Yeah. Is there another bathroom other than the one upstairs? Yeah there's one in the master just don't touch anything. My dad is super OCD about people touching his stuff. Copy that. Nobody wants to hear my story? You guys suck. (SHOWER RUNNING) (UNSETTLING MUSIC) - (DOOR OPENING) - Hello? (UNSETTLING MUSIC) Jack? (UNSETTLING MUSIC) Whoa, sorry. Oh god. You scared me. Did you happen to open this door? No I just got down here. That's weird. Is everything okay? I was just upstairs and I stumbled into your parent's bedroom. I know I wasn't supposed to be up there, but curiosity got the better of me. Anyways I was just about to leave and something across the room in the shadows just caught my attention and I found something. So why doesn't your dad live here? We own some land out by the bluffs. He stays in an Airstreamer out there. FAITH: Yeah, but why? Too many bad memories I guess. Can't get him to get rid of the place either. (SIGHING) You know I haven't told that scarecrow story in years. 'Cause it makes you sound like a pussy? Savannah and I used to tell that story all the time to mess with our friends. So she's always liked telling scary stories then? The funny thing actually, she hated them when she was little. I was never able to tell the end of that scarecrow story when she was around. What do you mean? 'Cause of her night terrors. And there was something else in that cornfield that night other than the scarecrow. What was it? I don't know. That's where they found all those dead bodies of those people that were killed 20 years ago. (SIGHING) What the hell? Oh shit. (UNNERVING MUSIC) FAITH: Hey. Have you seen Paul? No. Oh, he probably went running. You okay? Yeah. I'm just tired. You know it's kind of beautiful out here, but like really quiet. Yeah. Sometimes you just forget over time, but man I've really really enjoyed it as a child mostly. I mean I could probably never live this far away from a mall, but I can see myself bringing the kids out here for like a vacation or something. You want kids, with Paul? I mean, what, you've never thought about kids with Jack? I mean that's just so far out, you know I haven't even thought about it. I mean I know he's like a total dork. (COUGHING) But he's fun you know? Yeah he's really nice. Yeah. Can I ask you something? Of course you can. If you had a secret that would, you know, pretty much make everybody think your were crazy, but not telling is like a slow descent into insanity itself would you tell? Are we talking about somebody in particular here? No, no, no, no it's just hypothetical. Okay, that's a really weird question. I would tell. Yeah, you would? Fuck it, I mean who cares what they think right? You know you're a really good friend. Yeah I know. - Can we go to bed now? - Yeah. - Yeah. - Let's go. (EERIE MUSIC) (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) PAUL: I found something. I found something that I don't think I was supposed to find. Paul? (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) (GROWLING) (UNNERVING MUSIC) (DRAMATIC EERIE MUSIC) Hey, Paul didn't come to bed last night and I still can't find him. (DRAMATIC EERIE MUSIC) Damn it Paul where are you? Guys, over here! I found his phone which means he can't be far away right? Okay, so let's split up and search for him. Hey, hey, he's probably just messing with us alright? Don't worry. - Listen, be careful okay? - Yeah, you too. (DRAMATIC EERIE MUSIC) Do you recognize her? No. I guess Wookie must've drug it hear from somewhere. About fainted when I first saw it. Then I figured it must be another Linemen prank. Those assholes are always trying to screw with people. The last Halloween they put up missing signs all over town. Folks that weren't even missing. Remember that Chief? Had people thinking there was a serial killer in town or something worse. Worse than a serial killer? You have no idea. You gotta talk to them boys. I don't think this is the Linemen boys Mrs. Peterson. You okay Mrs. Peterson? JANICE: I need to sit down. Adam could you get some water in the car and tend to Mrs. Peterson please? Yes sir. What do you make of all this Chief? What kind of dog is Wookie again? He's a Yorkie. A human head weighs? 10, 11 pounds tops, why? What does a Yorkie weigh? The rest of the body has to be close. SAVANNAH: Paul! You idiot where are you? DIANNA: It's just a storm sweetheart. Did you hear that? (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) Faith? Cold blows the wind tonight my love Oh my god. Cold are the drops of rain I only have This is not happening. But one true love Stop it. Shut up! And in Greenwood he lies slain I'll sit and mourn all by his grave For 12 months and one day (UNNERVING MUSIC) (KEYBOARD KEYS CLACKING) What? Do you always have to get an attitude with me every time I come to talk to you? I wouldn't if you actually talked to me, but you don't, you talk at me. I just came to see how your writing is going. Since when do you care about my writing? Since it could potentially reflect poorly on me if it's not any good. Wow, thanks for the vote of confidence Mother. I'm just saying I've worked very hard to build my reputation and I don't want it watered down. What do you expect me to do, change my name? Actually a pseudonym had crossed my mind. You're unbelievable. I just think it's something worth considering. I also think you should consider coordinating your writing schedule. What's that supposed to mean? I read some of your draft last night and... Why are you going through my stuff? - Don't make this a thing. - No that is a thing. It's obviously a thing. - Honey you always do this. - Do what Mother? I can't constantly live up to your god damn expectations. Don't speak to me that way. Writing a book takes sacrifice, commitment, things that I'm not sure you're capable of. Enlighten me Mother. What exactly are you capable of? It's all right here. Your father's dropping the manuscript by my publisher tomorrow afternoon. This is what it takes to be a real writer. (CRYING) Paul! (MUFFLED TALKING) Where are you? (UNNERVING MUSIC) It's not fucking funny! SAVANNAH: Mom? (DISTURBING BACKWARDS SPEAKING) You're unbelievable. DIANNA: Hush now, this book changes everything. (UNNERVING MUSIC) (CRYING) (SHUSHING) (CRYING) (EERIE MUSIC) Faith. (CRYING) Faith. What the fuck happened? FAITH: It's all your fault. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) - What? - It's all your fault. It's all your fault. Faith what are you doing? It's all your fucking fault! SAVANNAH ON RECORDING: Who else knows? PAUL ON RECORDING: No one. And I'm willing to keep it that way. - What do you want Paul? - What do I want? I want to know exactly what my silence is worth to you. What did he find Savannah? I found something. I found something that I don't think I was supposed to find. What do you mean? Let me be a little bit more specific. I found something that I don't think you specifically would want anyone to find. I don't know what you're talking about Paul. No I think you know exactly what I'm talking about Savannah. I'm talking about that dark intimate little secret that's been eating away at the inside of your soul. Who else knows? No one. And I'm willing to keep it that way. What do you want Paul? What do I want? I want to know exactly what my silence is worth to you. (CRYING) What did he find? What secret is so important that you had to murder my boyfriend to keep him silent? I didn't murder him. Are you gonna tell me you didn't sleep with him too? I have the recording! Whoa, whoa, whoa what the hell is going on Faith? Faith put the ax down. Oh what the fuck. (GAGGING) (COUGHING) This is all your fault. Faith, Faith put the ax down. - Get away from me! - Faith just put the ax down! Paul, of course you'd get lost. Fuck. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) Savannah? (UNSETTLING MUSIC) (CRYING) It was an accident, I didn't mean to. (CRYING) It's my mom. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) Savannah. It's all my fault. DIANNA: This is what it takes to be a real writer. You've got to be kidding. I'm sorry? You've really outdone yourself this time mother. What are you talking about Savannah? You're gonna just sit there and act like you're innocent after everything that you've done. Everything I did, I did it for you. Bullshit. You did it for yourself. I did it because it had to be done. Who do you think pays for all of this? Not your father's joke of a salary. My writing has paved the way for you and for your brother. Do you think those publishers would be considering your book if you weren't my daughter? What would they say if I told them the truth? Don't you understand? This book changes everything, for me, for you, for all of us. At what cost? You're missing the point. No. That's the fucking point. No one will believe you, it's in your best interest to keep this to yourself. And what if I don't? Is that a chance you're willing to take? Go fuck yourself. (UNSETTLING MUSIC) (SHUSHING) THERAPIST: Your mother's death was not your fault. It's all my fault. We all have inner demons and sometimes those inner demons win. There've been cases in which the patients have a difficult time in deciding where the dream ends and reality begins. Or they live in what we call a fugue state in which they disassociate. That happens, I mean happened to me. You know, sometimes I feel like I brought the dream back with me. You're right. What? It's my fault. Do you want to know Savannah's dark little secret? Is that what you want? It was an accident Savannah. There are no accidents Faith. Do you want to know me Faith? I mean do you really want to know me? Savannah, what are you doing? Goodbye Mother. I murdered my mother. That's it. And it seems I started feeling guilt about it. She fucking tormented me my entire life. She used me like a god damn science experiment. (UNNERVING MUSIC) (SCREAMING) (SHUSHING) (CRYING) DIANNA: Mommy's here. (shushing) And it's necessary. DAVID: Tormenting our daughter for the sake of a damn book? This has to stop Dianna. This has to stop now. DIANNA: One day she'll understand. This is what it takes to be a real writer. You can't just sit there and act like you're innocent after everything that you've done. No one will believe you. STACHE: I think your mother would want you to to know it's not your fault. So I stole the book. Took all the words, the glory, the money. KELLY: See I thought it was absolutely genius that you wrote the book from the mother's perspective. SAVANNA: Well... And actually speaking of mothers how helpful was it having such a successful author such as the late Dianna Martin as your real life mother? - I can only imagine. - God yeah. Was she instrumental in helping you finish the book? Definitely. And I deserve every good thing that came from it and as for your dead boyfriend. (LAUGHING) He wanted me. I knew you'd come around. He wanted me so much he blackmailed me over the truth Faith. - Savannah please... - Shut up! Don't worry. I didn't fuck him. (BLADE PIERCING) (GROANING) But I did kill him.
