1. In movies they always say
that they, uh,
Copy !req
2. look like they're sleeping.
Copy !req
3. She doesn't look like she's sleeping.
She looks dead.
Copy !req
4. I mean, you, um...
Copy !req
5. She looks great.
You did a really good job as usual.
Copy !req
6. - Thanks.
- But she doesn't look like she's sleeping.
Copy !req
7. I don't know
why people say that.
Copy !req
8. Most of what people say
at a funeral is a wish.
Copy !req
9. "They're...
Copy !req
10. in a better place, they're at peace,
they're smiling down."
Copy !req
11. People just wishing out loud.
Copy !req
12. How bad was it?
Copy !req
13. I mean, when she...
Copy !req
14. got here? How did she look?
Copy !req
15. Are you really asking?
Copy !req
16. No.
Copy !req
17. You're right.
Copy !req
18. You might want to slow down.
Copy !req
19. It's going to be a long night.
You've been at that all day.
Copy !req
20. There's a stupid amount of food.
It keeps showing up.
Copy !req
21. Hope they didn't eat dinner.
Copy !req
22. Can I have one?
Mm-hm.
Copy !req
23. Should've told them
not to eat dinner first.
Copy !req
24. There's plenty in the kitchen
if we burn through that.
Copy !req
25. - Thank you.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
26. Did you connect with a florist
for tomorrow?
Copy !req
27. Yeah, it's all set.
Copy !req
28. I promise.
Copy !req
29. This gonna be a problem for Luke?
Copy !req
30. If he tries for it,
Steve can take him back to the hotel.
Copy !req
31. So Luke's fresh off the streets?
Copy !req
32. Steve says he didn't even have shoes
when he found him.
Copy !req
33. Great.
Copy !req
34. We get to watch him come down.
Copy !req
35. He flies across the country
to puke on his dead sister.
Copy !req
36. Jesus, Theo.
Copy !req
37. Might as well hide our purses, though.
Copy !req
38. What about Dad?
Copy !req
39. They flew in together, I know that,
so he's here.
Copy !req
40. Has he been here before?
Copy !req
41. I was trying to remember that, too.
Copy !req
42. He hasn't, has he?
Copy !req
43. - Or if he has, I can't remember it.
Copy !req
44. I got it. You guys relax.
Copy !req
45. - Please, Luke.
Copy !req
46. Don't fuck this up.
Copy !req
47. That's funny, Nellie was always trying
to get all of us together in one place.
Copy !req
48. Hey.
Copy !req
49. - Even Dad tried for years.
Can I get your coat?
Copy !req
50. Yeah, that would be great.
Copy !req
51. Someone should've told her
she didn't have to try this hard.
Copy !req
52. Hi.
- Hey.
Copy !req
53. It's pretty bad out there.
Copy !req
54. It's just a little rain.
Copy !req
55. Hi, Shirl.
Copy !req
56. Hey. Still not a hugger?
Copy !req
57. Flight's good?
Copy !req
58. It was...
It was not too bad.
Copy !req
59. Long.
Copy !req
60. Dad's not with you?
Copy !req
61. He's still at the hotel.
He told us to go ahead.
Copy !req
62. He kept changing his clothes.
Copy !req
63. He's nervous, I guess.
Copy !req
64. Luke, can I get you some water
or something to eat?
Copy !req
65. I've got a mountain of food.
Anything you want.
Copy !req
66. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
67. I can't... I can't.
Copy !req
68. He seems a lot better than I expected.
Copy !req
69. I think he's, like, actually clean,
a little while now.
Copy !req
70. - So what was with the jailbreak?
- Long story.
Copy !req
71. Hey, Luke.
Copy !req
72. - You okay?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
73. - Yeah?
- Yeah, I...
Copy !req
74. I thought... I thought I could do it.
Copy !req
75. - I know.
- She's right there.
Copy !req
76. Take your time.
Copy !req
77. We can wait.
Copy !req
78. Yeah.
Copy !req
79. There's no rush.
Copy !req
80. I...
Copy !req
81. - It's okay. Come on.
Copy !req
82. So where's Leigh?
Copy !req
83. What?
Copy !req
84. Um, she'll be here tomorrow. We're...
Copy !req
85. We didn't travel together.
Copy !req
86. Why not?
Copy !req
87. We're taking a break.
Copy !req
88. Luke, you sure I can't get you
an ice tea or something?
Copy !req
89. - That might be good.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
90. - You want some ice tea?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
91. That'd be great. Thanks, Kev.
Copy !req
92. - You're taking a what?
- A break.
Copy !req
93. - Like a separation?
- Like...
Copy !req
94. If it's all the same to you,
Copy !req
95. maybe we can save this conversation
for a little later.
Copy !req
96. I mean, I think we got bigger things
to tackle tonight
Copy !req
97. than my marital...
Copy !req
98. If you were married, you'd know that
sometimes people need a little room.
Copy !req
99. I mean, Theo, I'm not...
Copy !req
100. This is coming out wrong. I...
Copy !req
101. I just think it's not unusual for people
in a relationship as long as us—
Copy !req
102. I don't care.
Copy !req
103. - Getting you a drink.
Copy !req
104. Thank Christ. Thank you.
Copy !req
105. Okay.
Copy !req
106. - Yeah?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
107. Just rip off the Band-Aid.
Copy !req
108. Yeah, let's...
Copy !req
109. - Let's do it.
- Okay.
Copy !req
110. - I'm with you.
Copy !req
111. We got this.
Copy !req
112. It's not as bad as it is
in your head, but
Copy !req
113. she doesn't look like she's sleeping,
Copy !req
114. - so forget that.
- Right.
Copy !req
115. And if you're not ready,
we'll just go back.
Copy !req
116. - That's all right. Come on.
- Okay.
Copy !req
117. Yep.
Copy !req
118. That's... That's her, detective.
Copy !req
119. Positive. Positive ID.
Copy !req
120. Jesus.
Copy !req
121. Jesus!
Copy !req
122. Shit, Shirl.
Copy !req
123. I'm sorry,
I don't know what that was.
Copy !req
124. I changed every light bulb
in the house this afternoon,
Copy !req
125. because if one went out
tonight or tomorrow,
Copy !req
126. I wouldn't have time to change it
with everything going.
Copy !req
127. It's... It's crazy.
Copy !req
128. I get it.
Copy !req
129. - It's... It's crazy.
Copy !req
130. Right.
Copy !req
131. We don't have to stay in here.
Copy !req
132. Let's sit.
Copy !req
133. - She's okay.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
134. That'd be good.
Copy !req
135. Thank you.
Copy !req
136. I'm drinking every time
I feel like punching something.
Copy !req
137. It's just not fucking fair.
Copy !req
138. - Fuck!
Copy !req
139. Okay, Steve?
- Yeah, I'll be right there.
Copy !req
140. Oh, fuck.
Copy !req
141. Come on,
get it together.
Copy !req
142. Get it together.
Copy !req
143. Oh, okay, okay!
Copy !req
144. Okay.
Copy !req
145. You okay?
Copy !req
146. - Huh?
- Spill it.
Copy !req
147. - What?
- The details.
Copy !req
148. Um, I— I don't know
much more than you. I...
Copy !req
149. She killed herself at that goddamn house.
Copy !req
150. - I don't think it's that simple.
- Thanks. That clears it all right up.
Copy !req
151. Listen, I'm not saying it's simple,
that's all I know.
Copy !req
152. - No, I mean the suicide part.
Copy !req
153. Luke, she went back
to the house,
Copy !req
154. she didn't tell anybody,
and she...
Copy !req
155. - You spoke to the coroner, right?
- Right.
Copy !req
156. So, you probably know more
than I do.
Copy !req
157. She... she hung herself.
Her neck was broken.
Copy !req
158. Her neck?
Copy !req
159. Here you go.
Copy !req
160. I still don't get why
she'd go there in the first place.
Copy !req
161. - Well... Mom.
- She barely remembered Mom.
Copy !req
162. - Luke...
Copy !req
163. how much do you remember Mom?
Copy !req
164. - Yeah, I don't know.
- She was like six years old.
Copy !req
165. Well, what then, Dr. Crain?
Copy !req
166. Punch.
Copy !req
167. I want to know what
Mrs. Dudley said to him.
Copy !req
168. - Me too.
- He didn't tell you?
Copy !req
169. What do you think?
Copy !req
170. Six hours on a plane?
Copy !req
171. Didn't come up?
Copy !req
172. No.
Copy !req
173. Dad was in coach.
Copy !req
174. Wait...
Copy !req
175. you put yourself in first class?
Copy !req
176. I put him there, too.
Copy !req
177. And made Dad fly coach?
Copy !req
178. He insisted.
Copy !req
179. - That's—
- Look, Shirl, he wanted to...
Copy !req
180. - That's just—
- ... pay for his own ticket. -So, yeah, he was in coach.
- Hmm.
Copy !req
181. It's not like we were really talking
each other's ears off before that.
Copy !req
182. God.
Copy !req
183. I got it.
Copy !req
184. Hey, welcome.
Hi.
Copy !req
185. Hey.
Copy !req
186. Boy, it's...
Copy !req
187. - It's coming down out there.
- Yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
188. I know, I know, I know.
Copy !req
189. How are you, Kevin?
Copy !req
190. I'm...
Copy !req
191. so sorry.
Copy !req
192. Yeah, yeah. Thanks.
Copy !req
193. Me, too.
Copy !req
194. Wow.
Copy !req
195. Sorry, I'm a little late.
Copy !req
196. That's okay.
Copy !req
197. How was your flight? Uh...
Copy !req
198. Well, it was... It was...
Copy !req
199. fine.
Copy !req
200. - You know.
- Thanks for being here.
Copy !req
201. Hey.
Copy !req
202. Thank you.
Copy !req
203. You have a beautiful home.
Copy !req
204. This is the business side of the...
Copy !req
205. the residential side is over in the...
Copy !req
206. Thank you.
Copy !req
207. God.
Copy !req
208. Look at you girls.
Copy !req
209. It's been a minute.
Copy !req
210. Yeah, it has.
Copy !req
211. Longer than a minute.
Copy !req
212. Or a long...
Copy !req
213. - minute.
Copy !req
214. - I'm not sure... which.
Copy !req
215. Can I get you anything?
We got tons to eat, plenty to drink.
Copy !req
216. This is Kevin's coping mechanism.
He turns into a waiter.
Copy !req
217. No, thanks, I'm fine.
I... I don't really know...
Copy !req
218. what to say...
Copy !req
219. really.
Copy !req
220. Other than...
Copy !req
221. you know, to see all of you
in the same...
Copy !req
222. room. Well, not all.
Copy !req
223. I'm just sorry that...
Copy !req
224. that we have to be here...
Copy !req
225. under...
Copy !req
226. Neither can I.
Look at them, they're all grown up.
Copy !req
227. What? Hmm?
Copy !req
228. Under these circumstances,
Copy !req
229. that we have to be here
under these circumstances—
Copy !req
230. Wow, well put.
You want to do the eulogy tomorrow?
Copy !req
231. - 'Cause it's—
- You want to go see her?
Copy !req
232. - Yes, actually, if you'll excuse me.
- Of course.
Copy !req
233. That's why we're here.
Copy !req
234. Oh, Shirley.
Copy !req
235. Shirley.
Copy !req
236. You...
You did a...
Copy !req
237. She looks beautiful.
Copy !req
238. Not too much makeup.
Copy !req
239. Sometimes they put too much makeup
on them,
Copy !req
240. but she looks...
Copy !req
241. You did a...
Copy !req
242. Thank you for...
Copy !req
243. taking care of her,
and if there's a...
Copy !req
244. Is there?
Copy !req
245. I could use a bathroom.
Where would be the closest?
Copy !req
246. - Just head up that hall.
- Okay.
Copy !req
247. - To your left at the end.
- Okay.
Copy !req
248. Oh, man.
Copy !req
249. Great.
Copy !req
250. Honey?
Copy !req
251. There you are.
You weren't in bed. Where'd you go?
Copy !req
252. - Jesus Christ.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
253. Oh, that makes sense.
Copy !req
254. It sounded like a car crash.
Copy !req
255. I guess, but I don't know
why it would fall.
Copy !req
256. Where'd you go?
Copy !req
257. I don't know, I guess I was wandering.
Copy !req
258. Maybe I was sleepwalking.
Copy !req
259. I had the strangest dream.
Copy !req
260. Jesus Christ!
Copy !req
261. Honey, don't say that.
Copy !req
262. - You just said it.
Copy !req
263. You're right. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
264. - You guys hear a scary noise?
- So many scary noises.
Copy !req
265. Yeah. It's okay, see? It was that.
Copy !req
266. - Someone broke the Sannadeer!
- "Chandelier." It just fell.
Copy !req
267. What the hell happened?
Language.
Copy !req
268. - We don't know.
- So that explains the noise.
Copy !req
269. I don't like this.
Copy !req
270. It's just a silly old storm, sweetheart.
Copy !req
271. Your mother hates storms, too.
Copy !req
272. You do?
- Uh-huh.
Copy !req
273. Since I was a little girl, just like you.
Copy !req
274. But you know what storms do?
Copy !req
275. - Do they pass?
- They pass.
Copy !req
276. Stevie, give me a hand.
Copy !req
277. What do you need?
Copy !req
278. Just grab that other side,
Copy !req
279. I wanna move this out of the way
so no one's tripping on it.
Copy !req
280. Got it. Ready?
Copy !req
281. Yep.
Copy !req
282. How did it fall?
Copy !req
283. Did it get hit by lightning?
Copy !req
284. No, nothing like that, honey.
Copy !req
285. Gently, gently.
Copy !req
286. Okay.
Copy !req
287. What's that?
Copy !req
288. That's hail.
Copy !req
289. Yep, it is.
Copy !req
290. It's really loud, huh?
Copy !req
291. All right, come with me.
Let's go sit down.
Copy !req
292. Hail?
Copy !req
293. Yeah. Well, sometimes in thunderstorms,
Copy !req
294. the wind can push the storm
up into the sky really, really high...
Copy !req
295. and the rain can freeze.
Copy !req
296. So it's ice?
Copy !req
297. Exactly.
Copy !req
298. Explains why my room is freezing.
Copy !req
299. And the ice balls fall back down to Earth
and they pick up more water
Copy !req
300. and they get bigger and bigger.
Copy !req
301. What was that?
Copy !req
302. Um, sounded like a window.
Copy !req
303. Which is fine.
Copy !req
304. - Everything's fine, okay?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
305. My window just broke.
Copy !req
306. - Seriously?
- It exploded.
Copy !req
307. You okay?
- I'm fine.
Copy !req
308. - Let me go check it out.
Can I come?
Copy !req
309. Um, sure.
Copy !req
310. But the rest of you stay down here
and stay away from the windows.
Copy !req
311. Watch your step,
there's glass on the floor.
Copy !req
312. - Like someone threw a rock through it.
Great.
Copy !req
313. - Ice.
- The hell happened to the chandelier?
Copy !req
314. - The wind turned it into ice.
- Hey, Shirl?
Copy !req
315. Can you do me a favor?
Go in the kitchen and make some cocoa.
Copy !req
316. Seriously?
Copy !req
317. You know how to do it
and your brother and sister are scared.
Copy !req
318. Fine.
Copy !req
319. - Theo, you can help. Take Luke, too.
Mom.
Copy !req
320. Thank you. Go ahead.
Copy !req
321. - Go with your sisters.
- Come on.
Copy !req
322. You wearing those gloves
to bed now?
Copy !req
323. - Wanna play a game?
Shut up.
Copy !req
324. So, when there's another
flash of lightning,
Copy !req
325. let's count how long it takes
until we hear thunder.
Copy !req
326. That way we can tell how far away it is.
Copy !req
327. Okay?
Copy !req
328. So for every five seconds,
that's one whole mile away.
Copy !req
329. All right, let's wait for the next one.
Copy !req
330. There.
Copy !req
331. - Okay, one, two...
Copy !req
332. Two miles.
Copy !req
333. Uh, no, okay, not quite.
Copy !req
334. So, for every five seconds,
that's only one mile away,
Copy !req
335. so that one was actually closer.
Copy !req
336. Mom!
- It's okay.
Copy !req
337. - It's just the power.
Mommy!
Copy !req
338. The power went out.
I'm right here, you guys.
Copy !req
339. - Come here.
It's all right.
Copy !req
340. - It's a really old house, all right?
- It's all right.
Copy !req
341. Flashlights in the kitchen.
Copy !req
342. Okay, you got it?
Copy !req
343. All right.
Copy !req
344. Bent-Neck Lady!
Copy !req
345. It's okay.
You guys okay?
Copy !req
346. - We're okay.
- She's there.
Copy !req
347. - It's all right. Shh.
- With the statue.
Copy !req
348. It's all right, baby.
Copy !req
349. She's here again.
Copy !req
350. Here, listen to me, my love.
Copy !req
351. Mommy's seen things, too.
Copy !req
352. Sometimes Mommy sees people here, too.
Copy !req
353. But they won't hurt us, okay?
They're not here to hurt us.
Copy !req
354. What did you see?
Copy !req
355. - Everybody okay in here?
- We'll talk— Yeah, everybody's fine.
Copy !req
356. Well, this one's working,
but these need batteries.
Copy !req
357. Okay, here. Theo's got you.
Copy !req
358. - Take your sister's hand.
- Mom.
Copy !req
359. Just for a second. I'll get a flashlight.
I'll be right back.
Copy !req
360. All right. I got yours, Luke.
Copy !req
361. Let up on my hand.
Thanks, Steven.
Copy !req
362. It's just a storm.
Copy !req
363. - A bad storm.
- Yeah, this wasn't forecast.
Copy !req
364. - This is nuts.
Copy !req
365. Your stuff's all wet, Shirl.
Copy !req
366. The hail's blowing right in the window.
Copy !req
367. - For real?
Very helpful, Steve.
Copy !req
368. - We'll figure it out.
Copy !req
369. It's kinda fun, huh?
- There you go.
Copy !req
370. When I was a kid, we used to go
camping all the time.
Copy !req
371. I was a Life Scout.
Copy !req
372. What's a Life Scout?
Copy !req
373. Well, it's a group of...
Copy !req
374. Anyway, we used to go camping.
Copy !req
375. And one time there was a storm,
Copy !req
376. and it was such a bad storm
that we took our packs,
Copy !req
377. and we tied him to the trees
to keep them from washing away.
Copy !req
378. - Whoo!
Stop it!
Copy !req
379. It's okay, we're totally safe, okay?
Copy !req
380. - That was a good one, huh?
Copy !req
381. Are you sure we're safe?
Copy !req
382. The roof isn't gonna explode
or whatever?
Copy !req
383. You know what, this house has been here
for a long, long time.
Copy !req
384. It's seen plenty of storms
and worse than this.
Copy !req
385. - It's gonna keep us safe.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
386. - I thought you hated this house.
Copy !req
387. - That's something, anyway.
- Uh-huh.
Copy !req
388. Okay, one...
Copy !req
389. - Two, three...
- Two, three...
Copy !req
390. See?
Copy !req
391. It's moving away.
Copy !req
392. What'd I tell you, Nellie?
That's what storms do, they...
Copy !req
393. Where's your sister?
Copy !req
394. Theo?
Copy !req
395. She was right there.
I was holding her hand the entire time.
Copy !req
396. Okay.
Copy !req
397. - Nellie?
The whole time,
Copy !req
398. I could feel her hand until I looked down.
Copy !req
399. Nellie? Honey?
Nellie?
Copy !req
400. Nellie? Nell.
Sweetheart?
Copy !req
401. Where could she have gone?
It was only a few seconds.
Copy !req
402. Maybe she went to her room.
Copy !req
403. Maybe.
Copy !req
404. - I could feel her hand the entire time—
- I know, it's not your fault.
Copy !req
405. Nellie!
Copy !req
406. We're gonna find her.
- What if something gets her?
Copy !req
407. I know you're scared, pal.
I know you are.
Copy !req
408. Nell, come on out.
- Listen, she's just hiding from the storm.
Copy !req
409. - She's probably in her room under her bed.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
410. We'll go and find her,
we'll bring her back, okay?
Copy !req
411. - Maybe we should...
- My sweet boy. Yes.
Copy !req
412. Ah, Steve, okay,
you keep an eye on everyone.
Copy !req
413. - We'll be right back.
- Yeah, we'll be back in a bit.
Copy !req
414. You guys stay here and stay away
from the windows.
Copy !req
415. Keep hold of your flashlights. You think she went upstairs?
Copy !req
416. We would've seen her
if she went for the halls.
Copy !req
417. - Nell, come on out, it's okay.
- Don't worry, my man.
Copy !req
418. - She's gonna be okay.
- How do you know?
Copy !req
419. 'Cause, I won't let anything
happen to her.
Copy !req
420. To any of you guys.
Copy !req
421. That's my whole job.
Copy !req
422. First thing they teach us
in Big Brother School.
Copy !req
423. Nell?
Copy !req
424. I'm with you.
Copy !req
425. We got this.
Copy !req
426. Okay?
Copy !req
427. Luke. Luke.
Copy !req
428. Luke.
Copy !req
429. Luke?
Copy !req
430. Luke.
Copy !req
431. Do you remember what it was,
that word she made up?
Copy !req
432. - I'm not sure.
Copy !req
433. This made-up word.
Copy !req
434. Aunt Janet kept correcting her
and she just went on using it.
Copy !req
435. - What the hell was that word?
- Trying to remember.
Copy !req
436. Doesn't matter. Finally Aunt Janet...
Copy !req
437. she gets fed up and tells Nellie to stop
using whatever it was and speak properly.
Copy !req
438. "You're ten years old, speak properly."
Copy !req
439. And Nellie just... looks at her.
Copy !req
440. like beyond her years, patient...
Copy !req
441. and asks what she's doing wrong.
Copy !req
442. And Aunt Janet says,
"It's a made-up word."
Copy !req
443. And Nellie looks her right in the eye
and says...
Copy !req
444. "All words are made-up at first."
Copy !req
445. God, I wish I could
remember what the...
Copy !req
446. that word.
Copy !req
447. "Puffalope."
Copy !req
448. That's it. Puffalope.
Copy !req
449. Padded, puffy envelope.
Copy !req
450. "Puffalope."
Copy !req
451. She would say she was running out
of puffalopes for her letters
Copy !req
452. and she wanted Aunt Janet to pick up
puffalopes at the store.
Copy !req
453. And that is the third story you've told
about that one stupid summer.
Copy !req
454. I didn't live there after that.
That's what I remember most, I guess.
Copy !req
455. I know those stories 'cause I was there
for those stories.
Copy !req
456. I just want to hear some new stories.
Copy !req
457. Serious, Theo.
You might want to slow down.
Copy !req
458. I'm trying to drink her back to life.
Would you like me to stop?
Copy !req
459. Yes.
Copy !req
460. She got that from your mother. -You know.
- Alcoholism?
Copy !req
461. No, "puffalope."
Copy !req
462. She used to...
Copy !req
463. She used to tell Nell that her letters...
Copy !req
464. to Santa would be safe and warm
in the North Pole
Copy !req
465. if she used a puffalope.
Copy !req
466. Yeah.
Copy !req
467. Nellie used to write letters to Santa.
Copy !req
468. Took it...
Copy !req
469. very seriously.
Copy !req
470. Formal letters.
Copy !req
471. Didn't want to call him...
Copy !req
472. "Santa," so, she called him
Mr. Claus.
Copy !req
473. She thought "Santa" would be rude.
That's not how you talk to grown-ups.
Copy !req
474. So...
Copy !req
475. "Dear Mr. Claus, this is...
Copy !req
476. Nellie Crain." In whatever...
Copy !req
477. address we were at.
Copy !req
478. I told her she didn't need
to include that, but she...
Copy !req
479. she insisted.
Copy !req
480. You know, 'cause...
Copy !req
481. She said, uh, you know...
Copy !req
482. "Who knows how many Nells there are
in the world?"
Copy !req
483. And we moved around so much.
Copy !req
484. Yeah, we moved around so much...
Copy !req
485. that, you know, he might get confused.
Copy !req
486. "Dear Mr. Claus,
this is Nellie Crain in Boston.
Copy !req
487. And...
Copy !req
488. my brother, Steve...
Copy !req
489. he wants a typewriter.
Copy !req
490. And he's such a good brother,"
she would say.
Copy !req
491. "And my sister Shirley,
she could use a new camera,
Copy !req
492. 'cause she's capturing our memories,
you know, and they're so very precious."
Copy !req
493. And the thing is, guys, you know,
Copy !req
494. she'd never ask
for anything for herself, ever.
Copy !req
495. Not once.
Copy !req
496. She'd only ask for presents for you guys.
And God...
Copy !req
497. damn it, you know,
we had to make sure...
Copy !req
498. we got you what—
what you wanted,
Copy !req
499. what she— what she mentioned
in those letters.
Copy !req
500. 'Cause we weren't about
to discourage that instinct.
Copy !req
501. Your mom would say,
"Oh no, we water that seed...
Copy !req
502. until that's her tree."
Copy !req
503. Well...
Copy !req
504. she used to write letters.
Copy !req
505. And...
Copy !req
506. always, you know, handwritten.
Copy !req
507. She wrote me once a month.
Copy !req
508. Always.
Copy !req
509. Just telling me...
Copy !req
510. the amazing things going on with you guys.
Copy !req
511. Two of us.
Copy !req
512. What do you mean?
Copy !req
513. I mean, two of us.
Copy !req
514. There were seven of us,
and now there's five,
Copy !req
515. because two of us...
Copy !req
516. decided...
Copy !req
517. to die.
Copy !req
518. You know some religions won't
let you be buried in their cemeteries
Copy !req
519. if you kill yourself?
Copy !req
520. It's— It's monstrous.
Copy !req
521. Like you committed a crime.
Copy !req
522. When really it was just that you're
in so much pain.
Copy !req
523. So much pain.
Copy !req
524. And Nellie knew that.
Copy !req
525. She knew the price the rest of us pay
when someone does that,
Copy !req
526. and she did it anyway.
Copy !req
527. God.
Copy !req
528. I wish she felt like she could've
talked to me.
Copy !req
529. I don't know why she didn't feel like
she could talk to me.
Copy !req
530. There's nothing...
Copy !req
531. she was going through
that wouldn't have been okay.
Copy !req
532. Nothing.
Copy !req
533. You know, uh...
Copy !req
534. this one time,
Aunt Janet, she...
Copy !req
535. She let us camp out
in the backyard, and...
Copy !req
536. set up a tent, you know,
roasted marshmallows all night.
Copy !req
537. - I remember that.
- Yeah, and...
Copy !req
538. Steve...
Copy !req
539. - Right, the bear thing.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
540. - Steve...
Copy !req
541. he was outside pretending to be a bear,
Copy !req
542. banging on the tent, and...
Copy !req
543. you know, I'm freaking out,
and Nellie says...
Copy !req
544. Nellie says, "Don't worry.
Copy !req
545. We're safe in here. This...
Copy !req
546. This tent is magic.
Copy !req
547. It makes us indivisible."
Copy !req
548. And Steve, Steve stopped shaking the tent.
Copy !req
549. He says, hey... still in the bear voice,
"I think you mean...
Copy !req
550. invisible."
Copy !req
551. And Nellie shouts at the bear,
Copy !req
552. "I meant what I said, bear."
Copy !req
553. I'd like to go
back to something you said.
Copy !req
554. What?
Copy !req
555. Not you, him.
Copy !req
556. You said Nellie...
Copy !req
557. wrote you a letter...
Copy !req
558. once a month?
Copy !req
559. Yeah, that's right.
Copy !req
560. So maybe she mentioned something
in one of her monthly letters that
Copy !req
561. might have raised
the flag about, I don't know,
Copy !req
562. her state of mind?
Copy !req
563. No, she just...
Copy !req
564. No, she would...
You know, she'd...
Copy !req
565. talk about you guys,
and just like the Santa letter,
Copy !req
566. - she'd just tell me about you guys.
- You said that, but...
Copy !req
567. You see, we're all aware of how you like
to hold back information
Copy !req
568. when a family member
offs themselves.
Copy !req
569. - Steve...
- So I'm just wondering
Copy !req
570. if there's a little more
you're not telling us.
Copy !req
571. Do you want to do...
Copy !req
572. do this now, huh?
Copy !req
573. Yeah, I do.
Copy !req
574. We've all got questions,
Copy !req
575. and I think it'd be swell if you'd give us
a few answers for a change.
Copy !req
576. All right.
Copy !req
577. Let's start with that call you got
from Mrs. Dudley
Copy !req
578. - and what exactly she said about—
- She called me...
Copy !req
579. immediately after she called the police.
Copy !req
580. She said she'd noticed the car out front.
Copy !req
581. When she went inside
and she saw your sister...
Copy !req
582. hanging next to
the spiral staircase in the library.
Copy !req
583. Oh, and...
Copy !req
584. Mrs. Dudley, she also apologized,
Copy !req
585. because she said she threw up
on the floor, and...
Copy !req
586. - What's— What's next?
Copy !req
587. Did Nellie mention
in one of her puffalopes
Copy !req
588. that she crashed a book signing of mine
about a month ago?
Copy !req
589. - No, she did not.
- To scream at me.
Copy !req
590. - Wait, what?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
591. - Does that sound like Nell to you?
- No, it doesn't.
Copy !req
592. She wasn't herself.
Copy !req
593. She was seeing a new therapist
since Arthur, I know that.
Copy !req
594. - That's right.
- Anybody know anything about this doctor?
Copy !req
595. Any psychiatrist worth their shit
would've kept her on a much shorter leash.
Copy !req
596. - She's a fucking quack.
- She was clearly off her meds
Copy !req
597. - when I saw her.
- How did she sound when she called you?
Copy !req
598. - Wait, she called you?
- Yeah, the day it happened.
Copy !req
599. - She called Steve, too.
- Did you talk to her?
Copy !req
600. - No, I didn't get to.
Me either.
Copy !req
601. She wasn't worried about herself,
she was apparently worried about you.
Copy !req
602. I talked to her.
Copy !req
603. Yeah.
Copy !req
604. I talked to her that night.
Copy !req
605. And she was...
Copy !req
606. She was worried about a lot more than,
uh, than Luke.
Copy !req
607. Like what?
Copy !req
608. She said the Bent-Neck Lady was back.
Copy !req
609. There it is.
Copy !req
610. Mental illness.
Copy !req
611. - No, no, Steve—
- Clear as day.
Copy !req
612. - No, you don't—
- Hereditary.
Copy !req
613. You let her believe all that bullshit. -You don't—
- All that bullshit about Hill House
Copy !req
614. and this is the inevitable conclusion,
which makes you culpable.
Copy !req
615. - Who is the Bent-Neck Lady?
- Frankly.
Copy !req
616. So you hear her spout
some of the crazy stuff...
Copy !req
617. - It's not crazy.
- ... she said when she was six,
Copy !req
618. and you don't think that maybe you should
get her some help?
Copy !req
619. I did, I called you immediately.
Copy !req
620. - Just like Mom, you ignore the signs...
- That's not how it is.
Copy !req
621. you hope it'll go away
and then you hold back information!
Copy !req
622. If I held back anything,
it was to protect you kids.
Copy !req
623. I don't need— Why do I need protection
from the truth?
Copy !req
624. She's... No.
He's entitled...
Copy !req
625. What...
What is that? What's that?
Copy !req
626. I said you're entitled.
Copy !req
627. - I'm entitled to the truth?
- You're entitled to your anger.
Copy !req
628. Remember why we're here.
Copy !req
629. It's very generous of you to allow me
to feel my anger.
Copy !req
630. All of you... you're entitled.
Copy !req
631. What else am I entitled to
while you're being so fucking generous?
Copy !req
632. You might want to... check yourself...
Copy !req
633. before you start talking about the truth,
Steve.
Copy !req
634. Oh... great, are we breaking this out?
Copy !req
635. - You're drunk.
Copy !req
636. Theo's drunk, I'm just pissed.
Copy !req
637. And this is the part of the show
where you break out my goddamn book?
Copy !req
638. You want to talk about propagating
delusions?
Copy !req
639. - Why don't we just...
- There it is.
Copy !req
640. paranoid delusions for entertainment
and profit, Steve.
Copy !req
641. - ... gonna make—
- What about that?
Copy !req
642. You took all that paranoia and craziness
and you mass-marketed it
Copy !req
643. - to jump-start your writing career.
Really?
Copy !req
644. So don't stand in plain view
of Nellie's casket
Copy !req
645. - and lecture us about responsibility.
- Are you gonna stop the book fight?
Copy !req
646. - We're all real tired—
- You were happy enough
Copy !req
647. to exploit all of us for some blood money.
Copy !req
648. That's why none of us ever took
your fucking money, Steve.
Copy !req
649. - Cut it out.
- And you're fucking drunk!
Copy !req
650. While we're supposed to be
honoring Nellie.
Copy !req
651. Real class act, Theo.
Copy !req
652. No, no, no.
Copy !req
653. No, you don't know.
You don't know what I felt.
Copy !req
654. And you don't know what I feel.
Copy !req
655. And I am allowed to process that
any way that I want to.
Copy !req
656. You don't just stand there and dictate
how we all grieve our dead si—
Copy !req
657. - Fuck!
Fuck!
Copy !req
658. - Aw.
- You okay?
Copy !req
659. I'm fine. God, don't touch me!
Copy !req
660. Don't fucking touch.
Copy !req
661. I have enough of my own grief. I...
Copy !req
662. I don't need yours, too.
Copy !req
663. You know what?
Copy !req
664. I took the money, Shirl.
Copy !req
665. Yeah.
Copy !req
666. I took his fucking money.
Copy !req
667. - I got my degree.
Copy !req
668. I started my career.
Copy !req
669. 'Cause you know what?
It's good fucking money.
Copy !req
670. The book was a hit.
Copy !req
671. The royalties still haven't dried up.
Copy !req
672. I'm fucking glad that I took it.
Copy !req
673. You took his money.
Copy !req
674. You'd have to be a real stubborn bitch
not to, so...
Copy !req
675. Congratulations.
Copy !req
676. Shut up.
Copy !req
677. You're drunk.
Copy !req
678. Nope.
Copy !req
679. Yup... but, I'm right.
Copy !req
680. So what now?
You want to come after me?
Copy !req
681. So you just thought
you'd live under my roof?
Copy !req
682. - Shirl—
- No, let me get this right.
Copy !req
683. Live under my roof, eat my food,
Copy !req
684. and lie to my face
for how many years?
Copy !req
685. Guess we should've charged you rent
after all.
Copy !req
686. I offered to pay rent,
you sanctimonious bitch.
Copy !req
687. I guess you won't have a problem
paying for a place of your own, will you?
Copy !req
688. You can use all your royalties.
Copy !req
689. Shirley.
Copy !req
690. - Are you serious?
- Yes, I am.
Copy !req
691. - No, she's not.
- We agreed. All of us.
Copy !req
692. - We weren't going to participate—
- We didn't agree. -You stood up there and dictated—
- You don't get to lie to me,
Copy !req
693. and live off me at the same time,
and call me a bitch.
Copy !req
694. - All right.
- That's not gonna fly.
Copy !req
695. - Slow up, Shirl.
- Fuck you!
Copy !req
696. Fuck both of you!
Copy !req
697. Blood money! Blood money!
Copy !req
698. You're out, Theo.
Copy !req
699. - Are you gonna stop this?
- What am I—?
Copy !req
700. After the funeral, you can
fuck off back to Cali, Steven.
Copy !req
701. You can start looking for a new place
to squat, Dr. Crain.
Copy !req
702. If I were you, I'd get off that high horse
before I fall off.
Copy !req
703. If you were me, you wouldn't be
such a fucking asshole.
Copy !req
704. You're just embarrassing yourself,
you don't even know it.
Copy !req
705. She's falling on the goddamn ground
and I'm embarrassing myself?
Copy !req
706. We took the money, too.
Copy !req
707. I mean, I took the money, I guess.
Copy !req
708. We did.
Copy !req
709. No, you didn't.
Copy !req
710. I opened an account for it.
Copy !req
711. The checkbook that you found
the other day...
Copy !req
712. Shirl, you keep cutting prices
down to cost.
Copy !req
713. - Right? I mean—
- Don't you dare.
Copy !req
714. The pro bono funerals,
the special cases.
Copy !req
715. Don't put this on me.
Copy !req
716. How else was I supposed to keep
the business going?
Copy !req
717. I mean, look, if you think about it,
Copy !req
718. we took that money and we changed it
into something that helped people
Copy !req
719. - on the worst day of their lives.
- Stop.
Copy !req
720. Do you have any idea how much
you've humiliated me?
Copy !req
721. Look, honey...
Copy !req
722. Don't.
Copy !req
723. Both of you.
Copy !req
724. Just... out. I can't...
Copy !req
725. Shirley...
Copy !req
726. I can't look at either one of you
right now.
Copy !req
727. Get out.
Copy !req
728. We're just—
We're done here. Everybody out.
Copy !req
729. - Do I really have to move out?
Copy !req
730. - Out!
- Just give her her space.
Copy !req
731. Look, I need...
Copy !req
732. I need some more vodka.
Copy !req
733. - I want more vodka.
- There's more downstairs.
Copy !req
734. - I need another bottle—
- Okay. We gotta go, let's go.
Copy !req
735. Why don't we...
Copy !req
736. go back to the hotel
and give your sister some space.
Copy !req
737. You know, she's wounded,
we're all wounded.
Copy !req
738. - People lash out. It's perfectly—
What?
Copy !req
739. What the hell?
Copy !req
740. What?
Copy !req
741. Who did this?
Copy !req
742. What?
What?
Copy !req
743. Shirl.
Copy !req
744. What?
Copy !req
745. Is this...
Copy !req
746. What is this?
Copy !req
747. It's...
Copy !req
748. You think this is... this is cute?
Copy !req
749. I didn't...
Someone thought, what?
Copy !req
750. This was... funny? This was...
Copy !req
751. Who the fuck did this?
Copy !req
752. I swear to God, I didn't—
Copy !req
753. - You were the last one up here.
- No, absolutely—
Copy !req
754. - You were standing here.
- Why would I do something...
Copy !req
755. What... the hell?
Copy !req
756. Did you blow a fuse?
I've got a backup generator.
Copy !req
757. The storm's not that bad.
Copy !req
758. God damn tonight.
Copy !req
759. Just damn it.
Copy !req
760. Where... Where's your breaker box?
Copy !req
761. Can I do anything?
Copy !req
762. Oh, Nell.
Copy !req
763. Nell...
Copy !req
764. Oh, no.
Copy !req
765. Nell.
Copy !req
766. Nell?
Copy !req
767. She's not in our room.
Copy !req
768. I don't know why she'd go anywhere else
by herself.
Copy !req
769. Ah, the roof.
Copy !req
770. I know.
Copy !req
771. The hail, they sound like golf balls.
Copy !req
772. I don't even wanna think
about what it did to this roof.
Copy !req
773. I'll get Mullen over tomorrow to look.
Copy !req
774. I just put batteries in.
Copy !req
775. Okay, you get fresh ones,
I'll keep looking.
Copy !req
776. All right.
Copy !req
777. I'll check the library and the kitchen
just to be sure.
Copy !req
778. - Be right back.
- Okay.
Copy !req
779. Nellie?
Copy !req
780. Oh, shit.
Copy !req
781. Nellie? You in here?
Copy !req
782. Come on.
Copy !req
783. Where did you go?
Copy !req
784. Really?
Copy !req
785. Oh.
Copy !req
786. Okay.
Copy !req
787. Nellie?
Copy !req
788. Liv? Liv!
Copy !req
789. You kids okay down there?
Copy !req
790. We're all right.
Copy !req
791. Liv.
Copy !req
792. Hey! Liv.
Copy !req
793. How the hell did you...
Copy !req
794. Liv, you better stay away
from these windows.
Copy !req
795. This storm's getting really...
Copy !req
796. Liv!
Copy !req
797. Get away from the windo—
Copy !req
798. Jesus Christ!
Copy !req
799. Liv! Jesus!
Copy !req
800. Liv.
Copy !req
801. - What the hell?
- Honey?
Copy !req
802. Are you okay?
Copy !req
803. I think so.
Copy !req
804. I looked in the rooms
but she wasn't up here.
Copy !req
805. - What were you doing?
I looked in the bed...
Copy !req
806. bedrooms.
Copy !req
807. Honey.
Copy !req
808. - I'm having the strangest dream.
Copy !req
809. - Are you okay?
- What's wrong?
Copy !req
810. We're coming!
Copy !req
811. What happened?
Copy !req
812. There's something in the house
and my flashlight stopped working
Copy !req
813. and I heard it breathing and I—
I don't know what it was,
Copy !req
814. - but it was so close to us.
- Okay.
Copy !req
815. Slow down, slow down.
Copy !req
816. Even I saw it.
I think it was a big dog.
Copy !req
817. It ran right there here
toward the kitchen.
Copy !req
818. It was like this thing wolf
and had red these glowing eyes.
Copy !req
819. I didn't see any glowing eyes,
but it was in here.
Copy !req
820. - It was definitely something.
- Okay.
Copy !req
821. Where did it go?
Copy !req
822. It's okay.
Copy !req
823. Again?
Copy !req
824. Where'd you go?
Copy !req
825. No.
Copy !req
826. I just... nowhere.
Copy !req
827. Oh, you're just wandering around
in the dark?
Copy !req
828. Well, aren't we all?
Copy !req
829. Steve and Shirl are still trying to get
the lights back on.
Copy !req
830. Something tells me they won't.
Copy !req
831. Yeah.
Copy !req
832. Something tells me the same.
Copy !req
833. Who do you think did this?
Copy !req
834. Well, if I'm honest...
Copy !req
835. none of us.
Copy !req
836. But...
Copy !req
837. you...
Copy !req
838. probably know that already, don't you?
Copy !req
839. So...
Copy !req
840. The Bent-Neck Lady, you think she was...
Copy !req
841. I mean, this whole time was...
Copy !req
842. Yeah.
Copy !req
843. She didn't do this to herself.
Copy !req
844. No.
Copy !req
845. Neither did Mom, did she?
Copy !req
846. That's a...
Copy !req
847. That's a complicated question.
Copy !req
848. Doesn't make any sense.
Copy !req
849. We have a backup genny in the basement
for the refrigeration.
Copy !req
850. This is— It's not even a storm.
Copy !req
851. The rest of the block's fine.
It's just us.
Copy !req
852. - For real?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
853. - Why is it complicated?
- It's been a long night.
Copy !req
854. - Why don't we... head back.
All right.
Copy !req
855. I'd really like to know, Dad.
Copy !req
856. Know what?
Copy !req
857. Nellie didn't kill herself.
Copy !req
858. Oh, Luke.
Copy !req
859. - Let's not do this again.
- She didn't.
Copy !req
860. - And Dad knows it, too.
Oh, does he?
Copy !req
861. I don't think Mom did either.
Dad said that—
Copy !req
862. "Dad said."
Copy !req
863. - Luke, Dad propped up Nell's crazy ideas.
- No—
Copy !req
864. - This is how that ended up.
- It's not crazy, Steve.
Copy !req
865. As soon as we leave the room,
you start working on him, too?
Copy !req
866. - No, Steve.
- No, let's hear it.
Copy !req
867. No, I don't want to upset anyone
any more than we're already upset.
Copy !req
868. - No, just get it all out.
- It's not—
Copy !req
869. No, he's not gonna want to hear that
from me..
Copy !req
870. You see what I'm talking about?
Copy !req
871. I don't understand why this family
has such a hard time
Copy !req
872. acknowledging mental illness.
Copy !req
873. Mom, Nell,
Dad's talking to himself all night.
Copy !req
874. It's not like that.
Copy !req
875. Then explain yourself, finally, please.
Copy !req
876. Okay.
Copy !req
877. Nell didn't kill herself, the house did.
Copy !req
878. You don't understand Hill House, Steve,
you never did.
Copy !req
879. And Nell and Luke,
Copy !req
880. they could see its face
clearer than you kids...
Copy !req
881. - Jesus, Dad.
- ... and your mother saw it, too.
Copy !req
882. And anything I did,
I did it for a very good reason.
Copy !req
883. - ... all this bullshit about—
- You want to hear this or not?
Copy !req
884. - ... a haunted house and you don't get it.
- I don't get it?
Copy !req
885. You don't get it. You're the ghost.
You are, Dad.
Copy !req
886. - You're the spectral presence—
- Come on, Steve.
Copy !req
887. - I can see right through you.
- Yeah?
Copy !req
888. And the only difference between you
and the stuff of campfire stories
Copy !req
889. is that you keep getting older.
Copy !req
890. I just tried to keep your kids safe
and to protect
Copy !req
891. what memories you kids still have
of your poor mother.
Copy !req
892. - This is what got into her head!
- You've never understood.
Copy !req
893. - This is what made her sick.
- Your problem—
Copy !req
894. - It's always been your problem.
- My problem?
Copy !req
895. You think you know
what happened that night?
Copy !req
896. - You don't know—
- My problem is that the wrong parent died!
Copy !req
897. Let's...
Copy !req
898. - One, two...
- Let's go.
Copy !req
899. Three.
Copy !req
900. Okay, down.
Copy !req
901. Set it down.
Copy !req
902. I...
Copy !req
903. I have to fix her makeup.
Copy !req
904. I'll get my kit.
Copy !req
905. It's all right, boys.
Copy !req
906. Wait.
Copy !req
907. Shirley.
Copy !req
908. Shirley, wait.
Copy !req
909. Nellie...
Copy !req
910. There you are.
We were worried sick.
Copy !req
911. Where did you go?
Copy !req
912. I was... here.
Copy !req
913. I was right here.
Copy !req
914. Oh, honey, you're freezing.
Copy !req
915. I was right here and I was
screaming and shouting
Copy !req
916. and none of you could see me.
Copy !req
917. Why couldn't you see me?
Copy !req
918. It's okay, baby.
- I waved and jumped and screamed,
Copy !req
919. and you didn't even look.
Copy !req
920. None of you even looked.
So sorry.
Copy !req
921. We're so sorry.
Copy !req
922. Come on, we'll see her tomorrow.
Copy !req
923. Come on.
Copy !req
924. Don't do that ever again.
Copy !req
925. Don't do that ever again.
Copy !req
926. Ever.
Copy !req
927. I thought the house things had got you.
I thought they took you.
Copy !req
928. - I'm so glad you're okay.
Copy !req
929. Come on.
Copy !req
930. I'll never let you go again.
Never again.
Copy !req
931. I promise.
Copy !req
932. I was right here.
Copy !req
933. I didn't go anywhere.
Copy !req
934. I was right here. I was right here...
Copy !req
935. the whole time. None of you could see me.
Copy !req
936. Nobody could see me.
Copy !req
