The Samaritans (2017)
1
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Hey there. Hey Frank? Rosie I recognize the voice. Yep, it's me. Were you leaving? No I just thought I'd left something in the car but I have it here. Come on in. Nice place. Thanks for agreeing to host the meeting. I really appreciate it. This was your idea, it was a good one. It'd be cool to finally meet the rest of the team. You found it okay? Yeah, no problem. An old friend used to live in the neighborhood, over on sixth. Oh, does he or she still live there? No, he's been gone a long time. Gone? Dead. Oh, I'm sorry didn't mean to pry. It's okay. It's been a while. Well, make yourself at home the others should be arriving shortly. (PHONE BUZZING) Speak of the devil. And he doth appear. (PHONE BUZZING) Hey, Daisy, you got the right house. Just park in the street it's a pretty safe area. Okay. We use that phrase all the time but do you know where it comes from? I don't know, the bible trying to scare us? It's first recorded use was in an Italian text by Giovanni Toreono in 1666. 1666? It sounds like an urban legend. (SCOFFS) The skeptic. The nerd. Oh, which one am I? Hi guys. Hey Daisy. You're the happy one. This is Rosie, I'm Frank. Ah, can I use your bathroom. I'm sorry it was a two hour drive and a lot of Starbucks. Sure, right down there and a right. Okay, sorry. The phrased was used as a warning. That what? If you mention the evil one's name he would appear and wreak havoc on the innocent? And the not so innocent. Are you always this so upbeat? (LAUGHS) Sorry, language is a hobby of mine. That's why I'm the copywriter. And doubt has always been my hobby, that's why I'm the project manager. (LAUGHS) And Daisy, the social media expert, her finger on the pulse of the youth of America. That's me and I know. (LAUGHING) It's weird, I have a thing about other people's towels. It is so silly, right? I'm sure your towels are perfectly clean and safe, it's just well... Have you ever put a black light on in a stranger's bathroom? I have not. I'm curious? What's this one like? (STAMMERING) Wait, you really have a black light in there? You can use my towel if you want. Eew. Seriously, you have a black light in there? Let's just say knowledge is power. I like her. I'm calling Eddie. Feeling out numbered? Feeling violated. Feeling outed? BOTH: What? Alright girls, boy. Nice place you got here dude. What are you, like half a mile from the beach? Yeah, I used to surf here when I was younger. It's pretty cool. I mean you're far enough away from the beach where you still get parking but close enough to still enjoy bikini town am I right? You must be Eddie. The one and only and you must be Rosie the Riveter, cute. But making sure you're not obviously using that to your advantage, you're the brains of the operation. (CHUCKLES) Daisy Duke, full of youthful energy, dying to be taken seriously but still dressing like you're going to a Taylor Swift concert. You're gonna tell us what the kids are into these days right? And Franklin my man, you're the scrooge holding the purse strings, the bottom line referee. How's it everybody? And you are the possibly washed up, likely dead soon, former marketing genius who's clinging to his youth like a mixed tape from the one girl that said yes. I like you. Taylor Swift, seriously? Okay, now that we're all acquainted, can I get anybody a drink? No thanks. Water to start please. Mama taught me well. Put these on ice will ya there Frank o' Harris? Wow. You know we are working right? Yes I know we're working and I work better with a little wiggle in my brain. You gotta get rid of the tension right? Tension is the killer to creativity. I have to agree with you there Eddie, keep the flow, whatever works. Personally, I like the occasional 'shroom to open up the idea channels. (CHUCKLING) Forget Taylor Swift what Rusted Root maybe a little Fish? How 'bout you there Rosie cheeks what gets your juices flowing? I find that a clear head keeps my head clear. That is some existential shit. We're gonna get a long just fine. (LAUGHS) Ah ha! Alright let's toast. Here's to finally meeting the old fashioned way after months of working on what will surely be the next killer app to enter the virtual market, we're finally meeting face to face, eyeball to eyeball, sweaty palms to sweaty palms, here's to exchanging ideas and bodily fluids. How 'bout just ideas. I'll toast to that. Suit yourself. As your fearless leader I'm confident that we'll go to sleep tonight knowing that we did the right thing and made our bosses some money. Here. (CLINKING) DAISY: Cheers. (BIRDS CHIRPING) I love it. (LAUGHS) I'm in love with this application. Don't you think it's a little juvenile? It's a lot juvenile. Exactly, that's why I like it. It's simple, it's clean and dirty at the same time. It is simple. So let me get this straight, some number of people join the group and then they play spin the bottle on their phones? And collectively they decide how far they're willing to go, after each round they each decide whether they wanna keep going. Yeah if they chicken out they leave the game but if they stay in it gets freakier each round. They don't actually do these things? I guess they could do it in person but most people will play from the comfort of their mother's basement. I hate to admit it but it could work. My friends would love it. I would play. Not with you. You're a little tame for my taste. Yeah and I guess the kids that don't have any social skills, they might be able to get something started. I can't really find fault with it. Of course not 'cause it's awesome. I do like it. Frankfurter? I'm in. Rosie? This is it. Alright. Here's to swimming with bowlegged women. (LAUGHING) (CLINKING) (CLATTERING) Dude what are you washing down there, bricks? I'm not doing laundry. Shit what the hell was that? How long have you lived here Frank? I don't know, two years. Why? Have you ever heard noises like that before? You're freaking me out. What are you talking about? You guys'll think I'm crazy. Too late. Yeah, what's up? Just, an energy, like a, like a slow moving wave. Oh, uh oh. What do you mean uh oh? Daisy are you okay? FRANK: Rosie, shit Eddie grab her! What the fuck? FRANK: Eddie what are you doing? What'd we all drink? (EERIE MUSIC) What the hell? I can't move my arms and legs. Can you guys? No. This doesn't make any sense. Are they glued? Shit Eddie are you okay? Eddie? Is he dead? I think he's breathing. (GASPS) (LAUGHING) Oh man, Franklin what'd you spike that brew with dude? Nothing. Shit what was the last thing we all remembered? We were all drinking from that brown jug. Growler. FRANK: What? It's called a growler and why can't I move my arms and legs? DAISY: A growler? Yeah you get 'em at local breweries, you refill 'em every now and then, it's a good deal. Will you shut up? Seriously. DAISY: This isn't good. You think somebody could have roofied us with those? What are you looking at me for? That was some sweet ass IP I wouldn't mess with it. And besides handsome, you're the one that had our drinks in the kitchen. True, you did. That's stupid. Why would I do that? Look I'm stuck too. How 'bout you Rosie cheeks? It was your idea to get us all here today. Are you kidding me? All of that alcohol was yours joke man. She's right Eddie, what the fuck? Alright, so what? Did I glue myself then? Is it glue? I don't think so. I can move my arm. It's more like invisible rope? Oh, like Wonder Woman. She had an invisible plane dumb ass, her lariat made people tell the truth. Well the shit ain't working 'cause somebody here is lying. Yeah someone. (EERIE MUSIC) What the fuck? We're not alone. Well don't get all Linda Blair on us. What do you mean? Can't you feel that? Cold. You pay your heating bill there Francis? I can feel it too. Alright, you know if this is some company bonding bullshit I'm in I love our team. Can we just do some trust falls now? Could you just shut up for a minute Eddie? Yes please. (GASPS) Daisy are you okay? What's happening? It feels like, cold water running through my whole body. Daisy? Do you have to pee? Seriously? Eddie. (COUGHING) (EERIE MUSIC) Do you remember our first date Eddie? ROSIE: Daisy? Daisy's taking a little nap right now. Daisy what are you talking about? Tell them Eddie. (LAUGHS) I think I'd remembered you sweetheart. Our first date? You took me surfing. We hadn't even kissed yet. I liked you. (WHACKS) (CRIES OUT) Oh fuck. God damn. FRANK: Daisy? Daisy can you help us get out of here? (LAUGHS) No one can. (CHOKING) (EERIE MUSIC) What? Eddie what happened? You just got up and punched him. You just stood up. Can you get up now? Bullshit you just did it. We all saw you. I don't remember. You said it felt like water was going through your body. I do remember that. But you don't remember just getting up and hitting Eddie? I'm sorry Eddie. You just got up! Can you do it again? What is this shit? You said something to Eddie. You went on a date with him. I did not. I mean you're okay for an older guy but I never did. Thanks. I mean it. I would totally date you if you weren't, you know, you. Well what the fuck does that mean? Can we focus here? Yes. Eddie what is she talking about? I have no idea I've never met her before. (EERIE MUSIC) Daisy, you said we weren't alone before, what did you mean? Did you see something? More like felt, I felt it first upstairs. What are we talking about? Fucking ghosts? Frank. DAISY: Do you feel the cold? (EERIE MUSIC) (DRAMATIC CHORD) (EERIE MUSIC) Rosie Frank, what's going on? Tell us what's happening. In due time my dear. Frank is it cold? It's icy. Like this bitch. (OMINOUS MUSIC) Frank, Frank let us out. (OMINOUS MUSIC) There's only one way out. At least that's what I thought. You agreed. You didn't exactly say it but we both knew. Frank don't do it! What did I know? You knew how to stop me. (WHIMPERING) (EERIE MUSIC) (DRAMATIC CHORD) Frank? DAISY: You just sexually assaulted Rosie. I did not. You just got up, both of you got up. Are you pulling some shit together? No. It sure looks like it. I'm telling the truth. If it's my turn next I'm getting up and walking out of here. Rosie are you okay? It happened to me? Yeah. I didn't hit Eddie. No and thanks for that. You just felt up Rosie. How come you couldn't do that to me? You think I had a choice? Oh what, you were possessed? Get the fuck outta here. Daisy, do you think if someone, something wanted to get in touch with us it could do it like this? Oh what, now she's a ghost hunter? You know they never catch shit on that show right? Okay Daisy, you said you felt something before, have you felt things in the past? My aunt was a medium, my mother's sister. Definitely a bit off. My father warned us against hanging around her but every family dinner, birthday I would corner her and beg her to tell me about ghosts. And? She used to say that entities were always looking to move onto the next level. And then if they hung around it was usually because they had unfinished business. Like sending a message or righting a wrong? Are we really talking about this? Can we discuss a real way to get outta here please? Eddie did you not see Daisy just get up and punch you? And then me get up and... I'm sorry. I don't think it was you. It sure looked like his hands on your tits. Did your aunt ever say anything about helping them to resolve their issues? What are we now? Paranormal therapists? Anything that could help. Will you stop being such a dick? You're on board with this? Look at our hands. We can't move them, there's nothing tying them down. That's beyond some reasonable shit here. We have to figure out what they want. They? (THUDDING) (EERIE MUSIC) Maybe. Aunt Olive used to say that entities were like teenagers, they want somewhere to belong. Like a clique. (CHUCKLING) Well I hope we get the nerdy ghosts or the stoners 'cause if we get the jocks they're gonna kick our asses. Okay so what do we know so far? That Daisy here and I went on a date, and she got pissed and slugged me and Rosie knows something about you and that made you pissed so you got a cheap feel. Daisy what else can you tell us about these entities? (EERIE MUSIC) Oh fuck, bring it on. Oh shit. Cold? (CRIES OUT) Eddie? Quiet please. We're watching a grown man squirm. Eddie, Eddie can you hear me? Eddie's not in at the moment, may I please take a message? What's your name? All will be revealed. We can help. She's right. What do you want? Want him to apologize. Make him. Eddie you're a good person. (GROANS) (EERIE MUSIC) And what? What else? And suffer like I did. Eddie. What, what'd I do? You said that you wanted Frank to admit to something and apologize for it. DAISY: Frank what's he talking about? How should I know? What you're sorry for so much shit you don't know where to start? Fuck you. Both of you stop. We have to figure out what they want. (EERIE MUSIC) It must be your turn. And yours. I'm ready. So am I. I'm sorry. It's okay. (WHIMPERING) (EERIE MUSIC) (CHOKING) Little Miss Sunshine. Rosie, you don't have to do this. You're right, I don't have to do this but I really want to. (OMINOUS MUSIC) DAISY: Sorry. For what? I'm not sure. Maybe this will help you remember. (CHOKING) Rosie stop, stop! Stop? (CHOKES) Okay. FRANK: Thank you. I didn't stop because you asked me. I stopped because she's not going to die quickly. None of you are. (CHOKING) What happened? You just almost strangled Daisy. Oh my God, Daisy I'm so sorry. It wasn't you. Alright well there you have it. Daisy wants to kill me after a bad date, Frank wants Rosie but Rosie doesn't want Frank so Frank's pissed and Rosie wants to slowly strangle Daisy. Why didn't you do anything? Maybe because I'm the only decent person here? Oh bullshit. Both of you stop. It's because we got to you, to Eddie, not the other person. Rosie's right, we still have some control while we're altered. We just have to figure out how to break through. And what each of them wants. And by the way, it's using our app. What? You think this is a coincidence? It's fucking with us. I agree. But I am sensing some serious marketing possibilities here the apps so good even the dead are using it. (LAUGHING) Do you ever just stop talking? Hey, I didn't hit you, next time I won't fight against it so hard. You're a piece of shit. Both of you, stop. This isn't just a coincidence. It isn't just random that we're all here together. Like they've all been waiting for us to be in the same place. You know aunt Olive used to say that time isn't the same for them, that they could be patient and wait for the right moment to act. Maybe they're all working together? What they have in common is us. But is that it? Everyone in the world has done something they regret. (CHUCKLES) I got a long list of regrets. Plenty of ghosts are pissed at me. Get in line ghost bitch. Daisy did your aunt say anything about appeasing them, satisfying them somehow? They want what they want. But I do remember before she died aunt Olive was convinced that she could help this family by... (EERIE MUSIC) Oh I am not getting used to this shit. Alright back to the beginning I guess bring it on Daisy girl. (CLATTERING) What does that mean? They're growing bolder, stronger. Stay focused everyone. Try and fight it. Focus on your own thoughts, your own feelings. Oh shit, stay out of my shit. (GROANING) I think I beat it, I think I fought it off. Eddie you have to go get help. Alright. Upstairs, there's a cop he lives two houses to the left his name is Schwartz. Alright. I'm just messing with you. What? Eddie? Eddie you can fight it. Come on Eddie. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Eddie, tell me what you want. Edward would very much like to have intercourse with you but you are not my type. I would like him to know what it felt like. What it felt like, what? This. (WHACKS) (CRIES OUT) (CLATTERS) (SIGHING) Frank are you okay? It just stings but I'm fine. Oh shit, sorry dude. Eddie do you remember any of it? It seemed like it was you for a minute. Yeah, ah the bottle stopped on me, cold, wait, you. ROSIE: What is it? Ah it was a little like a dream but did I say something about you? You said, it said that you wanted to... To have intercourse yeah, that's fucking weird. It doesn't seem so weird for you Eddie no offense. Weird that it said it like that. Totally in the entities language. You remember that? It's foggy but yeah. Is it true? What? Is it true? (CHUCKLES) Ah, you know I've always heard about crisis fueling a potential romance but even I'm having a little trouble with you asking me this right now. If it's true, it could give us some clue how to stay connected to each other, when we're not ourselves. Like a strong part of who we are can be the safety net. Or the rope to pull us out. Makes sense. Ah, I mean, you're cute but um, you know what I also want a drink right now. So how about this, next time I'm possessed you guys offer me up some patron I'll do a shot and get us outta here. Daisy do you think we can use it? You like me. Listen we just met. Can we analysis someone else please? It's probably one of your turns next. Be honest Eddie. Hey, you're the one that groped the professor over here not me. Why are you fighting us on this? God you guys aren't giving up. Who do you think might be mad at you? I don't know. Did you ever hurt someone? You're the one that had your hand down her shirt. That wasn't me! I'm sorry. (CLATTERING) (OMINOUS MUSIC) Help! Help! Someone please! Oh Jesus. Be strong guys. Stay connected to each other okay? Keep talking to the one it gets. Frank. Frank you can fight it. (OMINOUS MUSIC) I never realized how important scent was to me until you. You were telling a study you were reading about pheromones. Where our natural scent was more powerful than cologne or perfume. Frank we love you. We do? Eddie. The thing about pheromones is you can only disguise them for a short while. Eventually the real stink comes out. The real Rosie. Ah Frank, Frank I love working for you man. You're straight with your people, I really appreciate that. We did an amazing job today. We finished our project. The real Rosie that wouldn't answer the phone. I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry. But you're scaring me. Scaring you? You thought I was scaring you? (LAUGHING) You haven't seen anything yet. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (WHIMPERING) Frank! Dude, come back to us man. We can't beat this without you. (WHIMPERING) Frank? I could hear some of it, it was like there was all this shouting and yelling, only a few things got through. We can do this. We have to focus. Did I... Ah, you were pretty tame dude. Scary as shit but no fondling. What do I, what does my... What do they want from you? I think I know. (RADIO BUZZES) What the fu... But he sure doesn't know But he cries like the wind What's up there Franklin? Prom song? Tell us Frank. (EERIE MUSIC) Everybody listen for us. Focus on our voices. Listen to the one thing your hear from us. Oh shit. I guess we're not taking fair turns here. Courage is loud what it say make the force Eddie, Eddie you don't have to do this. You can get out, please Eddie. Eddie, look at me. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (WHACKS) (CRIES OUT) Eddie look at me, look at me. Eddie. Oh, wow. Man, I heard, I heard the radio and the crash and... Me? Yeah. Do you remember what you did? Yeah, um, I touched your face. Um, you have really soft skin. (CHUCKLES) Um, why do I keep pounding you with stuff man? Does it have to do with tools? Yeah did you piss somebody off at Home Depot? What about the song Frank? What does it mean? (SIGHS) It was playing when... (EERIE MUSIC) (CHOKING) You've had your phone here the whole time? Well Rosie dial 911. That's all she had to do. I'm sorry, I was scared. And I was dying. Rosie, you're so damn strong you can do this. (DRAMATIC CHORD) She can do it. She can save you. Go on Daisy, save them. Help them. Will you? I didn't think so. Rosie? That's my phone. You almost dialed 911. And then you didn't. Did I hurt you Daisy? No but I know what I need to do. (EERIE MUSIC) I saw someone die and I did nothing about it. You were scared, like you said. Guys snap me out of it, I'm gonna go for the phone. Frank you're the best damn manager I've ever worked for, I'd toast to ya but you know... Frank we've done it, we have the app that gets the suits off your back. All we need now is a name. Eddie? EDDIE: What? Eddie names for the app, didn't you have some? I, I, I can't work like this. Come on. Frank this is his project, he wanted nothing more than to succeed. Oh Rose, you seem so concerned about Frank. When did you grow a heart? Think Eddie. Ah spin, spin it, it spins the bottle, turns the kissing game, fuck. When did you start to give a shit about anybody else other than good old Rose? Spinning, spinach, spink, spink, that sounds like spunk, that's a maybe. Young Rosie would never thing about what's good enough for another human being. Young Rose would just ignore the signs. Spi, spin, You spin me Oh you spin me, we could license that song by... Dead or Alive. There's a joke in there somewhere. We've done it Frank we have a name for the app. Frank? So, how do you like the name? I think I could get the song. I know their agent. (LAUGHING) You did it, we did it. Good job Eddie. Hey, I usually don't work well under pressure, normally I'd like some Pink Floyd playing and a couple of brews but this time it worked. Thanks man. So that's it, we have to find each persons obsession, the thing they're currently into more than anything else. I gotta be honest. What? The company told me this was my last chance. The last three app accounts I managed all failed miserably. I didn't wanna tell you guys because I didn't wanna bring the extra burden onto our work. Good call, and it worked. Okay, I'm all work and no play, Eddie wants Daisy... Whoa I never said that. It's okay, we have to be honest if we're gonna beat them. I'm sorry I, I, I mean I know we just technically met but, but we have been communicating online for months and, I don't know, you're even cooler in person. How about you Rosie? I don't know. EDDIE: You're easy. Oh really? Yeah, you've gotta be the best at everything, smartest person in the room, know it all. Hey, we get it. What is it Rosie? What's your latest thing? It's silly. You are so smart Rosie, I don't think it could possibly be. What? You're teaching yourself Japanese or something? Would you lay off. Canada. What? Canada? Oh I can't wait for this one. Canada? I'm from there. You don't talk like it or drink like it. Shit! (WATER SPLASHING) Why don't they just kill us and get it over with? They want us to admit what we did. Or didn't do. EDDIE: What about you Daisy? Eddie whatever it is admit it. I don't know what the fuck she's talking about. How quickly we forget. Well, you are getting up there. The looks start to fade, the eyesight starts to get blurry. The next thing you know you can't get it up unless you pay for it. What the fuck? Go on Eddie, tell your new friends. What's the only thing that gets you hard? Tell them. Porn okay? I watch a lot of porn. Warmers. What do you want from me? I want you to feel small and I want these, on a plate. Say it! Humiliation okay? I'm sorry, I just, I'm sorry, let me go. And you better remember me the next time I come round. Please don't tell her, don't say anything I just watch it I never do it I swear. Of course. Okay who is she? I don't know. What'd I do? We kinda hooked up. What? Well, you crunched my manhood with your kung fu grip. Do you work out? Wait Rosie you might be next. Tell us about Canada. I'm moving there. I didn't wanna say because I did like the team, I do like the team it's just I was offered a job, a partnership, in Toronto. Shit what about our app? It'll still be yours. Thanks. So your main focus is moving up there? Shame. Um, okay, even I'm getting a little uncomfortable guys. Okay so we got your hook, what else? What do they want from you? Do you have any ideas? Yeah. (FIZZLING) Look out! (EERIE MUSIC) Keep thinking about Canada, the new job, the new partnership, you're gonna be so awesome. You think so? I think she might not make it out of Jersey, just like you. I am so sorry. I know what I did. My phone was dead when I came back, it was too late, I came back. What happened? She was... Ah, ah, ah, Daisy with your big mouth are you going to ruin all the fun this early in the evening? Rosie tell me about the new gig, you're so damn smart, you're gonna make the best partner, I'm gonna be so sad to lose you! Toronto, that's where your new life will begin. They have awesome beer up there. Shut up or Daisy... EDDIE: Rosie! (CHOKING) Rosie. I was winning. You did it Frank. Uh what about me? Thanks for trying Eddie. And Daisy you were about to spill the beans, you okay? Hold on, Rosie how much do you remember? I remember hearing your voice and I let go of Daisy. Thanks. Then I remember seeing all of you. Things went black and I felt like I was floating back into the chair I guess. So we definitely could beat them if we worked together to pull each other out. Your turn Daisy. I witnessed a robbery, it was back when I lived in the city, Bodega. When I heard the yelling at the counter I hid in a corner while it happened. He strangled her, he wouldn't let go. I could see it all in one of those circular mirrors that they have on the end of the aisle. My phone wasn't dead, I turned it off 'cause I was afraid that it would ring. What could you have done? He would have killed you too. He didn't just take the money? She fought him and he got mad. He ran away when he was done and I hid in the corner while she died. (CRYING) There's nothing you could have done. Did you know her? Only a little, it was my neighborhood and I went there a couple times a month. I've been searching for her family to apologize, that's why I was late today, her brother lives in this neighborhood. What? And I used to surf here. And your friend lived in this neighborhood. This town is the connection. Daisy does that make sense? Yeah, for them to be able to work together they'd have to have proximity and knowledge of each other. So Rosie is becoming the girl in the shop. Yeah, it's her. And who am I becoming? I think I know. (EERIE MUSIC) If it's me snap me out of it. Who ever it is, we can do it. I like you too Eddie, I think you have great energy. (GROANS) It's time to confess. Confess what? Time for playing innocent is long past sir. Eddie, look at me. ROSIE: Look at Daisy. What did you see? I don't know what you're talking about. Eddie look at me. What did you see? I don't know. Eddie I was unsure of you when you first walked in but now I know. Shut up, stop lying to him. What did you see? She's telling the truth. I see it too Kiss me. (WRENCH CLATTERS) I'm good, you did it. ROSIE: Eddie! You, you did it. We did it. Thanks for being so convincing, I knew you were lying. If you'd known I was lying you wouldn't have broken out of it. What else happened? Frank. I think it was an accident I saw. It just started snowing, I was driving to a big meeting with this new client, my biggest yet. The car in front of me skidded into a parked truck. These trucks were everywhere, they were used to replenish the beach. You didn't stop. No, I read about it the next day, he was stuck. The snow got worse, emergency vehicles couldn't get in on time. We all stood by and did nothing. What about you Rosie? His name was James. Frankie, Frankie boy. Listen I've got our next app, it's an idea I've been working on for a while. Now let's hear the rest of your story Rose. Yeah, it's an app that tells you if your breath stinks. (LAUGHING) Yeah, we'll use the same technology as a home breathalyzer. Tell 'em about me, about us. Your name is James. We met at a conference when I was an intern. We had a brief relationship. Brief but meaningful. You said you loved me. I don't remember that. And you said you loved me. After the conference we emailed, texted, Skype'd for about a month. And then you stopped. I stopped because it was over James. I'm sorry. I told you what I would do if you didn't answer my call. I know, I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry. I'm sorry. Maybe I won't leave. This is a really good team. Rosie? Frank. And then you didn't answer. EDDIE: Old boyfriend? I broke it off and he kept calling and texting. Eventually I had to tell him to stop. He sent me one last message, I still have it saved on that phone. We all stood by while someone died. (EERIE MUSIC) We love you Daisy. You're the strongest one here, you can do it. I'll try my best. (EERIE MUSIC) I thought you were so cool. How awesome was it to get surf lesson on our first date. Your name is Jenna. You remembered. You looked so good. It was fall, I thought you were gonna have to wear a wetsuit but the water was pretty warm. September at the shore, my favorite. I remember. And you remember that the waves were a little rough? They were. And? And I should have been watching you. (SMACKING) It was my first time. (SMACKING) And you were not gentle. (SMACKING) I'm sorry. For what? Her name was Jenna, we met on this beach. I used to come here summers from Pittsburgh. We were watching some kids boogie boarding, she said she wanted a surf lesson. And you were gonna teach her. What happened? The waves were pretty small that day so I gave her one of my old long boards and pushed her in to a couple, she even stood up once. Then the waves were getting bigger, she was getting a little nervous and I told her just to paddle out beyond where the waves were forming and you know just take a few more rides. And I should have taken her in but I had to get one last wave, it was a great ride and I was so cocky, I knew that she would be impressed so, so when I pulled out I looked back and she wasn't there. My long board just floated by me and she wasn't on it. It was an accident. This is the first time I've been back here since. The four people that we didn't help, couldn't help, are back. To teach us a lesson. To fuck with us. God what do these fuckers want? Revenge. They want what they want. Our only shot is breaking out one of us for long enough to get out of here. Yeah but what does that even mean? I mean how do we get help? How do we stop them? Daisy? Aunt Olive used to talk about this thing that Native Americans believe in, it's called casting a circle. We join hands and create a sacred space inside it. Yeah but we have to be able to move to do that. We have to break free when we're up, we have to get all of us. Yeah whoever's up move the others closer together. Yes. Can we provoke them to take over more than one of us at a time? Daisy you said sometimes they're like teenagers, insecure maybe? Whoa I wouldn't recommend bullying them. (CLATTERING) Daisy, you're the only one we haven't figured out yet. What's your trigger? Yeah what's your obsession Daisy? Please say me. It's Angela and her family. I've been trying to find them to apologize for years. I found a brother but the mom won't talk to me. (GASPS) Frank if we get to you move us closer together. Frank. Frankie we know you're in there man. Frank I know you can hear me. Frank. Let's see how this feels. No Frank don't do it. Frank please. Lighter than it looks right? It feels different when you know exactly what you're gonna do with it. When you know you're gonna slice along the veins and not across them. I'm sorry. (EERIE MUSIC) (WATER SPLASHING) (CRYING OUT) Her mother will forgive you. (EERIE MUSIC) (GROANING) Eddie, when we get out of here... Eddie grab Frank. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (CLATTERS) (EERIE MUSIC) Rosie pull me closer we could beat them. You think so? Rosie! Guys if I'm the first to go you make your circle and get out. Shut up Frank, we're in this together. (EERIE MUSIC) We can do this. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) A goodbye kiss. The one you didn't give me. Frank you can save us, you can help us please. Frank, Frankie if they get you again just grab my hand and Rosie's. We can do this. We just have to believe that we are good people who made a mistake. (CLATTERING) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Eddie you can save us. Pull Frank closer. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Eddie come to me. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Drag him over here. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) What'd I do? You killed him. God damn it. We can still do this. Frank would've wanted us to survive. She's right. (EERIE MUSIC) You know what? I was gonna make you wait but after I stood up on that first wave I knew I was gonna kiss you. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (WATER SPLASHING) (CHUCKLES) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Daisy her mother would want you to look her in the eyes and say I'm sorry. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (EERIE MUSIC) We can still do this. We? (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Oh God, oh God, oh God. You were braver than me. You fought hard (DRAMATIC MUSIC) It's over. It's over. We had a deal, you said if I got them here you would leave me alone. (GASPS) And I thank you. Should've let the clowns suffer a little more. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) And Mr. Corporate America, funny thing is, after all his years of work and progress, he still lived in a dump and never quite made it. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) And this one, her head in the clouds. I'm glad you never got to my mother, she might have forgiven you. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) And you're right, I did say you could go if you helped my friends. But then again, you said you loved me and you changed your mind. Blurredly We will laugh on this trail full of sight And though words we may speak We may not hear a sound But the words they are finally free Sing to sleep Well they told me it's cold as the basement Well he sure doesn't know but he cries like the wind And he tells of his small victory Ahh ahh If courage is loud why did they make the horn It's the whispers that started the war Seven seas We are standing above all this madness And all the mindless crows whiskers Have taken the lead So they throw out their best men and flee Ahh ahh If courage is loud why did they make the horn It's the whispers that started the war It's the whispers that started the war It's the whispers that started the war It's the whispers that started the war |
