Original subtitles

Have you been here long?

Not really.

Maybe a while.

I'm not sure.

Feels like I've been here forever. My ride will be here soon, though.

Where are you going?

Not far. The Cotter Barn Theater.

I love the theater.

Something really special about it, don't you think? I've never been to the

theater. It's just something that I have to do.

I like it.

My heart really needs to hurry up. I'm tired of waiting.

I'm tired of waiting.

Hey, are you okay?

Morning, miss.

Looked at the collecting cans, huh?

Just get off the bus?

Uh, yeah, yeah.

Hi, well, welcome to Cotter.

Nice having you in town.

Visiting friends?

No working.

At the Barn Theater. Oh, the Barn Theater.

That's such a great place.

It's been here as long as I can remember.

But, you know, I always stop in there and say hi. They really like me.

You know what? I'll come by and visit you.

Uh, who are you?

I'm Roddy.

Vivian. You going home after?

Home?

Nope, no, there is no home.

Oh, that's my ride.

Wait,

Roddy, did you see where that girl... When?

Vivian, I am so sorry. I am so behind.

Thank you.

Roll call.

You hear your name, I want to hear a yes, sir.

Lance Cole.

Yes, sir.

Brian Daly.

Yes.

I said I want to hear a yes, sir. You get it right.

Yes, sir.

Gary Baines. Yes, sir. Michael Cross.

Yes, sir.

Neil Stams.

Yes, sir.

Tina Bailey.

Yes, sir. Mackenzie Kane.

Yes, sir.

Terry Wells. Yes, sir.

Lisa LaFontaine.

Yes, sir.

Vivian Miller.

Yes, sir.

Okay. I want to introduce you to the camp coordinator and theater owner, Mr.

Lawrence O 'Neill. Thank you, Chuck.

Welcome to the Barnes Theater.

Because you've earned enough points for good behavior from the camps you were

at, we were able to strike a deal with the probation officers for you to

complete your Phase 3 work release program here.

Now, as you've probably surmised, the place is not like any other camp.

In fact, we don't even like to call it a camp.

The state does mandate that we run it like one. I won't lie to you, there are

tough chores ahead, and you will need to continue your GED studies while under

our supervision.

In between, we will put on a stage play for the locals, which falls under the

category of behavioral therapy.

It's a special year, an anniversary.

After 20 long years, I'm going to do a play that's close to my heart.

Superstition says that we never say its name in the theater. Instead, we refer

to it as a Scottish play.

Participation is mandatory, and you will get to perform dual roles as well as

rotate backstage duties.

Word about security.

Why don't you look around you?

Go ahead, look.

As you can see, there are no fences here, no barbed wire, no watchtower.

That's because they're not necessary.

We're over 20 miles from the nearest town. You will be caught.

Put the idea of escape out of your minds.

Our staff, Mr. Kosak.

We'll be in charge of your work duties.

Mr. Steele's head of our studies.

I, of course, run the theater program.

Make the most of your time here, and it will pass quickly.

Kosek will now give you your orientation.

Thank you, Chuck.

What, Brian?

I've never really acted before.

I'll chip in here, fundraise or something. I could maybe sell some weed.

It's kind of...

I came to be here.

I bet you're a fine actor.

Shit, you've been acting like a fucking asshole for a long time.

Right?

Unlike the courts, we don't do three strikes and you're out around here.

One rule violation and you're gone. The judge will double your time. You will be

behind bars till the snow flies next Christmas. Any questions?

Yep. Seriously? I'm no actress, so what am I supposed to do?

Well, you can address me as sir, little girl.

When it comes time for the play, you can stand in the back and be a fucking

tree.

I don't really care.

Meantime, you can clean the shitters.

Now, let me be perfectly clear.

I can't make you do anything you don't want to do, but I can make you wish you

had. Trust me.

Let's go.

Welcome to your new home for the next three months. By day, it's a work and

scene shop for set building. We got your paint room, my tools, which will be

locked up.

By night, you got your sleeping quarters.

Big curtain on the ceiling comes down every night for a little privacy.

Men over there, women on this side.

Yeah.

It's gonna get cold pretty soon. Got any heaters to keep it warm?

We got some space heaters if it gets too cold.

Some barn fans for some air flow.

Up at 6 a .m. for roll call, calisthenics, breakfast, and then up on

maintenance, ground struts, set notes, rehearsals for Macbeth.

Bob, that was bad luck.

That's just theater folk.

I apprenticed at Chino State Prison.

We didn't worry about no Shakespeare curse up in there.

Moving off.

Grab a seat.

All right.

Back there, dressing room for the guys.

Women's on the opposite side. Got lockers and showers inside.

TV room for a couple hours after dinner for fun.

No cable, but all the plays we've ever done on DVD.

The cable down here, you little shits would never leave.

It's a couple hours after dinner and then lights out.

Ladies, stay put.

Men, follow me.

Lock and key are on your locker. Lose your key, you run a couple extra miles

the morning.

Catch you stealing. I call your probation officer after I kick your

Hey!

You feel me?

Work closer in your locker.

Drafts will be out front in 15.

Love that guy.

Dude, he'd just as soon shiv you as look at you.

Chino State Prison, man. He'll mess you up.

Go get him, man.

We'll all be right behind you.

Hell, big slow bastard.

We know what hit him.

Cool down, sweetheart, or it's going to be a long three months.

All right.

Dress and be out front in town.

Well, not waking up from this nightmare anytime soon.

Hey,

I think I need to get in there.

Sorry. No problem.

I don't think we've met yet.

I'm Tina.

The best network of soul substance in a DUI.

Hell of a night.

What,

not sharing your rap sheet?

Oh, uh, shoplifting. I got caught once many times.

Life in the big city.

Number 10, late.

Sorry, sir.

Okay, work details.

Run this board each morning. Start your day looking at it.

It's already past noon.

New short one today.

All right, dinner bell rings at 6 p .m. After that, Mr. O 'Neill will talk to

you about the show and tomorrow's auditions.

Okay, find your job.

Get to work.

Let's go.

Fresh. Clearing.

Bunch of shit.

What the hell are you bitching about? Me and Vivian got a clean toilet.

Well, eh, you get bored in there.

I could entertain you.

Dream on.

They did.

Pay attention, huh?

All right, there's the woodpile. I want you to finish that before dinner.

You're kidding. Anything else?

Yeah.

Watch out for snakes.

Why is there here I'm gonna go check out the girls bathroom

What are you doing here?

I told you, I come by here sometimes.

I, you know, I saw your name on the board and, uh, you know, that's where

put you.

I'm sorry, are you okay?

Yes. Well, anyway.

Hi.

Hi.

What kind of thing's in here?

It wasn't me.

Yeah, well, I've cleaned worse.

Ronnie, maybe you shouldn't hang around. Charles might not like visitors.

They like me here. It's all good.

When did you work here?

You know what?

I don't want to get you in trouble. Oh. Charles might be off his meds.

I'll be around this fall.

Now I got a reason to visit.

Bye.

Hurry, it's Brian.

What the hell happened?

Goddamn chippers.

They almost chewed me up is what happened.

I told you, you gotta pay attention.

You're lucky I saw you and hit that kill switch.

You could have had Brian's chips all over you.

It's not funny.

I nearly died.

Goddamn chipper tried to kill me.

Okay, guys, hang back.

Ladies first.

Our meals are a little different here than what you get in Juby. This is food

you can actually eat.

Go ahead.

Tonight we got beef stroganoff, fresh lake trout, some kind of vegetable,

strawberry shortcake.

Got my eye on you.

What kind of group we got this year?

Nothing I can't handle.

Eyes front.

Let's see what these kids are made of.

All right, who here has heard of William Shakespeare?

Anyone?

No?

Well,

William Shakespeare is considered to be the greatest playwright known to

mankind.

In fact, every 12 minutes, one of his plays is being

performed somewhere in the world.

Now, why is that?

Hmm? Why?

400 years ago, he was writing about things that still matter, that still

resonate today.

War, sex, violence, betrayal, ambition, lust,

murder.

Things that I'm sure some of you can relate to.

Frank, now this play, this play is about a man,

Ultimate quest for power.

His wife's driving ambition to achieve their dreams at any cost.

It's perhaps the most violent of his plays.

Includes all the things I just mentioned, including witchcraft.

Which accounts for the superstition associated with the play.

Now, I don't want you to be intimidated by the text.

Don't overanalyze it, okay?

All the answers you need... Right there on the page.

Now, of course, if you have any questions, you can always come to me or

Frank.

Happy to help you.

I will bend and twist you band of misfits and delinquents to the most

characters ever written for the stage.

And we start tomorrow.

So hit the script. I'll see you all in the morning. Okay?

Sure.

Okay. Wrap it up.

Lights out at nine.

Hey, we're all going to go watch old plays in the TV room. You want to come?

Richard III.

Oh, come on.

Yeah, here we go. Crazy kids stabbing horses.

Nudity. Equity.

Have you ever seen Nudity? No, because...

And in the dark...

at some fucked up shit.

Yeah. So, because the guy couldn't get it on with the girl, he just stabbed the

horse's eyes out?

It's not that simple.

Religion and God and sex are all mixed up for the kid. Plus, he saw his old man

coming out of a porno show. That'd give anybody limp dick.

You're smarter than you look.

Sexy. Hey, big boy.

That was a compliment.

Hey, Mackenzie.

Walk with me, and I'll show you exactly how smart I am. Let's go.

Charles will be busting our chops soon anyway.

All right, well, I'm hitting the hay.

No pun intended. Me and the comedian are going to get out of here.

Good night, Vivian.

Yeah, I get it.

You don't like me.

But maybe you're frigid.

You don't know me.

I'm not your type.

I'm a hot girl. I mean, she's better than everybody else.

Think that perfect guy is going to come along and take her away from her shitty

life? Well, that guy don't want you. You're damaged goods.

You say you're in here for shoplifting?

I say bullshit.

Whatever you really did, you better get used to guys like me.

Because I'm all you're gonna get.

1990.

Jesus, Roddy, what the hell?

That's how my mother used to greet me.

You surprised me. What are you doing here?

I was looking for some part -time work, but I think Lawrence is already in bed,

so I'm just going to have to keep coming back.

Hey! You two in the bush!

Knock it off! I think that's my cue.

You get it? Because it's a theater, right?

She gets in the theater.

Vivian, you follow the rules like everybody else.

Didn't you hear my whistle? Yeah, sorry. I just lost track of time. What is

that?

Okay, Vivian.

Hey.

Just do what you're told.

The next three months will fly right by.

Okay? Okay.

Okay. Yeah.

Real bad.

Did you just shit me?

You don't give me shit.

I give you shit.

Now drop and give me ten.

Mr. O 'Neill. Yes?

Good morning, I'm Dr.

Lazarus. Oh, hi.

I wanted to talk to you about a woman in your care. Vivian Miller?

Sure. It'll only take a few minutes. Yeah, come on in my office.

Where did you drive in from? Oh, Ann Arbor.

Oh, nice.

Beautiful place.

Thank you.

Excuse me, Matt.

I wasn't expecting a visitor.

Where would you like me?

Uh, sofa is fine.

Want some coffee?

Yeah, that'll be great, thanks.

Milk? Sugar?

Oh, black, please.

Tony Award.

Oh.

Pretty heady stuff. Must have been the toast on Broadway.

Well, for a moment.

I don't know what they say.

You're only as good as your last hit.

Three straight bombs and your table at Sardi's is gone.

Heck, you're lucky to get a table at the Carnegie Deli with three bombs in a

row.

Yeah, Broadway loves a winner, but it crosses on the other side of the street

for a loser.

You know what most people don't understand is that art can be like a

contest, you know?

You do what you feel is your best work.

Love what you do. If the audience doesn't show up, then you're out of a

Most people don't work under those conditions.

But enough about me.

You hear about Vivian.

I've been her psychiatrist for six years, the entire time she's been locked

I thought it'd be best if I gathered some info for you.

What is it exactly that you do here?

Well, we focus mainly on behavioral therapy, psychodrama. We get the

kids to act out their issues on stage and break their bad habits, form better

relationships, and hopefully in the process, broaden their horizons a

feel if we've gotten through to at least one of them, then we've accomplished

something.

Do you know what Vivian was in for?

No, I haven't gotten to her file yet. Murder.

She was 15.

Beast was going on.

Got a plea deal down to manslaughter.

But she's been in and out of psych wards ever since.

The court requests that I meet with Vivian on a regular basis to review how

she's doing before release.

I'd like to see Vivian right now, if it's okay.

Yeah, sure.

She should just be finishing up a run.

Vivian, someone here wants to speak with you.

Hi, Dr. Lazarus. Can we talk once you've cleaned up?

You filthy pig. Sure, yeah, after breakfast in the dining hall.

Dining hall is right through those double doors, Doc.

Thank you.

Breakfast in half an hour. Ladies, your auditions are today.

Men, your duties are on the board.

How you holding up?

I'm getting too over this shit.

You and me both?

So, uh, are there any lady queens in this group?

I got a few queens in this group.

You know what I mean?

Why don't you, uh, why don't you go shower up, and I'll see you after

Yeah.

Kind of noisy last night, weren't you?

What are you talking about?

It's like shooting fish in a barrel around here. So, Gus, your aim is off,

You didn't shoot nothing, right?

Or he's shooting blank.

Kiss my ass, biatch.

So, did you hear about the first screw?

Yeah, we know it was Lance. We're just trying to narrow down the hole.

Yeah,

my money's on Mackenzie.

Oh well, we'll figure it out.

It's gonna be a long 90 days.

Hi.

It's good to see you, Vivian.

How's this place treating you?

Better than a normal camp, I guess.

You look tired. Are you getting enough sleep?

A little.

I, um... I think I need to be back on my meds, though.

Okay, I left them with Mr. O 'Neill.

Small dose.

I want to start weaning you off on it. No, no, I need to be on my regular dose.

Is the OCD getting worse?

No, it's not. It's not.

It's not getting worse. It's just there, you know?

What else?

I've... I've been hearing things.

What kind of things?

Things that may not be real.

Okay, like what?

Um, well, earlier by my locker, there was, like, this, uh, tapping sound.

Are you sure there's no construction going on upstairs? Maybe sets being

Yeah, maybe there was, but then I... I swear I heard a voice.

What'd the voice say?

It asked for help.

Okay.

Anything else?

Uh, yeah.

Yesterday at the bus depot, I...

Saw this girl, and she was just so different. It was like I knew her

Where from?

I don't know.

I'm probably wrong. Never mind.

You know, Vivian, you had a real tough time not too long ago.

I really feel that our time together has improved your situation. I'm not saying

there's not work left.

But I agree with the court. Less than 90 days, you can reenter society, live a

normal life.

I'll never be normal.

You will.

I feel that the anxiety or stress of your transitioning from the juvenile to

prison system are causing these problems.

You'll be okay.

I promise.

You'll be okay, Vivian.

Hey. Who's this?

Roby, officer?

Oh, yeah. Kind of.

So, do you want to look over this Lady Macbeth chick? Because she was kind of

batshit crazy.

Sure.

Morning, everyone.

Sorry I'm late. Ladies, front and center.

Okay. I take it all of you have read the play and...

None of you understood a word, right?

I remember the first time I read Shakespeare. I felt the same way.

I promise you, it'll get easier with time.

All right?

You guys ready to do this? Yeah?

All right. Let's have some fun.

Ladies.

All right, Chuck.

Who's first?

McKenzie, front and center.

Okay, Mackenzie.

Let me give you the setting. We are on the Scottish Moors sometime in the 11th

century. You know what period that is?

It was a long time ago. I get it. This Macbeth dude was all over the place.

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Outside.

Let's go. Let's go.

Let's go. Come on, let's go. Let's go.

Come on, come on, ladies. Outside.

Come on, come on.

Come on.

Outside. Come on.

All right.

Once.

Twice. Twice.

Now spit.

What? Just do it. Spit on the ground.

Just do it.

All right, now curse.

Why? Because it's the only known remedy for saying the play's name in the

theater. Curse. Go ahead. This is fucking bullshit.

Good enough. Okay, inside, inside.

Thank you, June.

Don't do it again.

The curse can only be kept back so long.

if you keep summoning him, okay?

Okay, Mackenzie.

The Lady Queen is the devilish wife of our hero, and her deadly ambition drives

him to murder so that he can be king and she can be queen.

Subsequently, their murders drive her to madness.

Now, let me ask you something, Mackenzie.

Have you ever wanted anything in life so badly...

That you would go to any extreme to get it?

Yeah. Just one time?

No, no, no. Don't tell us. Don't tell us.

Use the secret inside of you. If you share too much, you lose all that magic

power. You understand?

Just use the words, okay?

Whenever you're ready.

I have given suck and no how tender tis to love the babe that

milks me.

I would, while it was smiling in my face, have plucked my nipple.

Okay, okay. Hold it right there. Chuck, if I could have all the ladies on stage,

please.

Life happens from the inside and leaves you from your pores.

It's the same with acting.

You absorb it inside, and only then can we see the effect outside.

You understand?

You never say result.

I'm sorry, what's your name again? Tina.

Thank you. Tina, how did you feel about Mackenzie's reading right now?

It sucked.

Fuck you.

Okay, Mackenzie, how did that make you feel when she said that?

You feel what?

Regret?

Humiliation?

embarrassment, anger, right?

Same things I feel every time I look in the mirror in the morning.

That's oozing out of your pores right now.

That's what we want.

Don't act.

Be.

Okay? You all have the potential to do something great if you just feel it

inside. Use it.

Don't fight it. Just let it be.

You have a very expressive face. You're very free.

Should we give it another shot?

All right, Chuck, who's next?

Uh, Terry.

Okay, Terry, let's give it a go.

I have given suck, and know how tender tis to love the babe that milks me.

I would, while it was smiling in my face, have plucked my nipple from his

boneless gums and dashed the brains out. Had I so sworn as you have done to

this.

Okay, Terry, um, you have just told your husband you would pull your newborn

baby off your nipple while it was still feeding and kill it by smashing its

skull. I want you to go back and look at that scene with that in mind, okay?

Thank you. All right, Chuck. Next, please.

Vivian, front and center.

Okay, Vivian.

Whenever you're ready.

Come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts.

Unsex me here and fill me from the crown to the toe, top full of

direst cruelty.

Make thick my blood.

Stop up the axis and passage to remorse that no compunctious visitings of nature

shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between the effect in it. Come to my

woman's breath and take my milk for gall, you murdering ministers, wherever

your sightless substances you wait on nature's mischief.

It was, um... It was very good, Jeanette.

Vivian, sir. Oh, Vivian. I meant Vivian.

Yeah.

Um... Chuck?

Give me a moment here, please.

Why? Not here, Tess. Let's talk outside, okay?

Come on. Let's talk outside.

You're really gonna do this play again?

Are you sick?

Have you finally napped? No, I haven't.

I need to open this up. We need to open this up.

Nothing needs to be opened up.

Nothing.

I forbid you to do it. What are you talking about forbid? You're not in any

position to forbid anything.

You know the agreement. I keep creative control here.

You're going to cast that young girl as the queen, aren't you?

Yeah, I think so.

Because you're fucking her? Hey, that is way out of line.

I maintain a professional relationship with these kids, and you know that.

Like the kind you had with Jeanette.

Are you going to drag that up again?

Nothing happened, all right?

She just had an infatuation with me, that's all. This play is cursed, Larry.

Come on, that's just superstition.

It cursed us.

I keep living in the past, Tess.

I need new memories.

I need to do this.

Okay, Larry.

What's done cannot be undone.

We're all going to regret this.

I want you to know I'm not a big fan of medication.

Why? Well, they tend to dull your senses.

You read very well the other day.

I think this is an important role for you.

Why do you say that?

Because of all the things you're holding on to inside.

What do you mean?

Dr. Lazarus told me everything.

How am I supposed to get through to you, Vivian, if you don't let me inside?

The whole point of this process is to get you guys to lower your defenses.

It's all about honesty, sharing.

I can't help you if you don't help me.

You know, the theater is a lot like therapy.

You can express yourself and say things on stage that...

You don't get to do in real life.

You can show a side to yourself that even your best friends have never seen.

I don't have any best friend.

I know.

I think this part can give you a chance to communicate your feelings.

Let those demons go that torment you.

And they do torment you.

Don't they, Vivian?

get through this together.

It's what I'm here for.

Thank you.

Can I go now?

Sure.

Hey, George, you want to take the ladies out for some yard work?

Men, go in the wings.

Come on, girls, let's go.

Come on, move it. Chuck, can you send Vivian Miller down here, please?

It's the queen. She needs to watch the auditions.

Let's go.

All right, Chuck, who's first?

Brian.

Street Eddie Party.

Okay, Brian, which part will you be reading?

Malcolm.

What have you ready?

What I believe, I'll wail.

What know, believe, and what I can, redress. As I shall find the time to

I will.

What you have spoke, it may be so perchance.

This tyrant whose soul name blisters our tongues was once thought honest.

You have loved him well.

He hath not touched you yet.

I am young, but something you may deserve of him through me and wisdom to

up a weak, poor, innocent lamb.

I appease an angry God.

Okay. Thank you, Brian. It was very nice. Thank you.

Is that it?

Yeah.

Did I get the part?

Well, all the roles will be posted on the work board outside.

Shakespeare shit.

I'm sorry. What did you say?

I said Shakespeare's shit.

Really? Let me tell you something, Brian. Shakespeare died over 300 years

but he's still being talked about today. Who will remember you three minutes

after you're dead, huh?

Will you have accomplished anything of any value or worth in your life?

The system and everybody else has given up on you, but I haven't. Not yet.

Password? Open the damn door.

About damn time.

Take it easy.

She gives us a rough day at the castle.

What's up?

You sure you're okay? Yeah, I am.

Wait up.

Boy,

you guys look guilty.

I know nothing.

Uh -huh.

Good night, chuckleheads.

Okay, okay, okay.

What the hell happened, Vivian?

He was in my bed.

He was wearing a cloak and he was joking.

Who was it? I don't know.

How did I know he was in here?

I don't have no goddamn way.

Who did this?

Not everybody back in bed.

Now!

How now? What news? He has almost sucked.

Why have you left the chamber?

Hath he asked for me?

Know you not he has?

We will proceed no further in this business.

He hath honored me of late.

Oh, wait, wait. Hold on, guys. Hold on.

Chuck?

Chuck?

Yeah?

Where's our sound cue?

Well, Gary called it.

Come on, guys.

Pay attention.

There's something wrong with the deck.

There's no power.

How long will it take you to fix it?

It's going to be a few minutes for sure.

Okay.

All right, Chuck. Let's take five.

May I get some water, sir?

Yeah. Two minutes.

Roddy, you can't sneak up on me like that.

Well, I can't stay long. I just, you know, wanted to say hi.

It's been a little while.

Yeah, I thought you were going to get some part -time work here and hang out

some more.

What, you miss me?

Well, I... No, it's just that I... Relax, I'm kidding.

No, they don't need me, and it kind of pisses me off. I mean, I wanted to hang

out here more.

Looks like you're playing the lead.

Yeah. Oh, Lawrence is the greatest.

He's the best teacher.

Listen,

I actually need to get back. I don't want Lawrence to get mad.

It's so much fun.

But I'll see you.

You've got to call the electrician. We need this fixed by tomorrow.

Okay, I'm on it.

Hey, buddy, front center.

Okay, everyone.

Unfortunately, the sound deck problem is actually a booth electrical problem.

It can't be fixed right away, so you're all excused.

I'm sure Mr. Kosak has some things to keep your minds occupied. Thank you for

great day's work, and we'll see you all tomorrow.

Okay? Thank you. Okay, everybody, in your work clothes.

Let's get some yard work in.

Shut up.

Let's go.

Let's go.

All the world's a stage.

And all the men and women are merely players.

There's magic in an empty theater.

All the possibilities.

Wouldn't you agree?

I know so little about the theater.

Only what you've taught me.

Well, you know about life, don't you?

Yeah.

Isn't the, uh...

Unknown more exciting.

More intriguing than the known.

Sometimes I... Yeah.

That's why people hint again.

Get up on the stage and entertain a thousand people at a time.

Make them laugh.

Make them cry.

Without ever knowing their name.

But you have to be willing to fail. Take chances. Be bold.

And bury a path in the theater.

Recreate yourself.

Start anew.

That's what I did.

I... I never really thought of it like that. I've always been afraid of what I

didn't know.

I was the same way.

So how'd you get out of your morning run?

Started in the back and...

Just dropped off.

Well, you must not be too afraid of life, because Chuck is going to be on

like thunder when he finds out.

No, actually, I've been feeling kind of lightheaded.

Maybe I should go lay down.

I'll square it away with you.

Thank you.

What the fuck are you doing?

You are in deep trouble, young lady.

Skipping out on the run is a serious rule violation.

I didn't... It's okay, Chuck.

I told her she could miss the run.

She wasn't feeling well.

Can we talk in my office?

It's on your mind.

Look, I've been here 20 years.

I owe you everything. We both know that.

And I've always backed you up.

It's just, I've got to tell you, I'm a little worried.

About what? That kid has got some serious problems. Come on, Chuck.

They've all got serious problems. That's why they're here.

You really think it's a good idea to cast her in the role of a psychotic

murderer?

Yeah, she gave the best reading.

You read her file, Larry.

You don't think that's kind of risky, putting her in that state of mind?

I mean, look at her.

She looks like she's ready to crack.

It's the whole point, Chuck.

It's to get these kids to work through their trauma on the stage, remember?

I don't know, man.

You're the boss.

Is there anything else?

Nope.

Okay.

See you at rehearsal.

Yep.

So, we have the Lady Queen going slowly insane from the murders. She imagines

that she cannot get rid of the bloodstains on her hands, which leads to

death by suicide. Okay?

All right. You guys are ready?

Let's do this.

Places, everyone. Chuck.

Ready?

And lights up.

Look how she rubs her hands.

Yet here is a spot.

Hark, she speaks.

I will write down what comes from her to satisfy my remembrance the more the

better.

Out.

Damn spot out, I say.

One.

Two. Why?

Just time to do it.

Oh, that is murky.

Fie, my lord, fie.

A soldier and a feared...

What need we fear who knows it when none can call our power to account?

Yet, who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?

No!

Stand back, stand back, stand back.

You all right?

Yeah. You sure? Yeah, I think so.

All right, let's get her to her feet.

Clear the stage, please, everyone.

Chuck, deal with this. Where's the damn safety kit?

There's a first aid kit in the dressing room. You might want to take a look at

that.

Enter his world, Vivienne.

You must enter his world.

Oh, you've never been touched before?

Where's Brian?

Brian!

Brian!

Anybody seen Brian?

No. No. Not since dinner.

Damn it.

Okay, we gotta find him.

Let's go, let's go.

Two teams. You guys go around the front, we'll go around the back.

Everybody inside right now.

Oh, my God. She's not moving.

Oh, my God. What's going on? Get inside right now, ladies. Go. Go.

Everybody,

get the fucking done right now.

Let the fucking around.

Guys, it's Brian.

Come on. Come on. What the fuck do you mean it's Brian? Come on.

Hey! I'll just be a minute.

Done cannot be undone.

Done cannot be undone.

I didn't mean to!

We just want to question him.

Why?

Ryan's dead.

Oh, my God.

He'll lose everything.

What?

They're going to shut this place down.

Who killed Jeanette?

Jeanette.

That poor, sweet girl.

You did it.

Didn't you?

You made me trust you, and I haven't trusted a man in a really long time.

You killed her, you sick bastard.

Lier! You are not telling me everything.

It's not possible.

For a long time, I just... I just went through the motions.

This year, this year felt different. I felt alive.

I thought I could finally exorcise my demons and maybe help you exorcise your

world. No. No, Roddy.

What are you talking about?

No, he's dead.

He's dead.

Oh, no.

No. No,

no, no, no, no.

I got him from the rafters.

He's dead.

No, no, he's not.

He's right there. He's right there.

He killed Jeanette.

I

loved

Jeanette.

She loved him.

We've all fallen in love with him.

Thank you.

Come with me.

No, no, no. Why would you want him more?

What's wrong with me, Vivian?

Just want to love a pretty girl?

You all fall for him.

My dad.

Oh, my God. I don't love your fucking dad!

Shut up!

Don't you lie to me.

It's too late for that.

Just like Jeanette, aren't you?

I have a lot to offer, Vivian. I'm just as good as Lawrence. All I ever needed

was a chance.

Let Jeanette go.

Brody, just stop. Just stop killing her.

You keep playing the tape!

You're making me kill her!

Now it's your turn.

Vivian, I can kill you here or in my world, but Jeanette, the choice is

What's done cannot be undone.

Damn you!

Dad?

Did you get it? Did you get it? Why?

Why won't you love me? I just like her.

Why won't you love me?

Why? Why?

God bless.

Vivian. George, call 911.

Vivian.

Twice in one day? What the hell is going on around here?

I don't know.

Is she taking any medication?

Uh, yeah. Yes.

But, um, under supervision.

Have you been drinking, sir?

A little. Yeah. Why?

Okay. We're going to have to forget about tomorrow's sit -down, Mr. O

You need to come to the station right now.

Nobody leaves.

I want a statement from everybody. Lock this place down. Now.

Detective.

Grab a video camera.

Thank you.

Who are you? I'm Vivian's doctor.

What are you treating her for? PTSD.

She's been severely abused for years.

Thank God.

Is she attacked?

I've done a rapid trauma exam and found no severe lacerations on her body. She's

unconscious, but her vitals are stable.

Doctor, please, I need to ask you a few questions.

Come on.

Candace Malone. Here, sir.

Natasha Gloden.

Here, sir.

Franklin Lee.

Here, sir.

Theater owner and camp coordinator Lawrence O 'Neill.

Morning.

Welcome to the Barn Theater.

My name is Lawrence O 'Neill.

Because you've earned enough points for good behavior from the camps you were

at, we were able to strike a deal with the courts and your probation.

He's going through the tape again. One more time.

I don't know. I just don't think there's anything on it.

Okay, fine.

Anything? Just that.

It's a cold case, then.

Yes, sir.

I want to purge all possessions.

It's hard to clean up messes.

And if we lose all connections,

will you hold on to me?

Make room.
