Welcome home, my love.

Okay. Who wants to give it a try?

Somebody?

Anybody. Please. We just studied this yesterday.

Somebody. Anybody?

Tara.

It’s okay. Come on.

It’s okay.

What are you looking at, freak?

Nothing.

I’m hurt. Hmm.

Oh, please. I need help.

Wait! What are you doing?

No!

You’re late for your recital.

This is Classical 99.3.

Oh, hello.

I’m sorry.

I was waiting for you to wake up

and I went and fell asleep.

How are you feeling? You feel better?

It’s all right. I’m Judith Ruric.

I’m a nurse here at Saint Angelo’s.

Saint Angelo’s? Yes. We’re in a hospital, darling.

Don’t worry, though. You’re fine.

You just have... some mild abrasions.

What-- What happened?

I was hoping you would tell me that. You--

Well, the police, they found you,

dumped by the side of the road.

You were very drugged when you got here.

You were mumbling about Greenwich.

Greenwich, Connecticut. That’s where I live.

Isn’t that where we are?

No.

This is Stowe, Vermont.

Vermont?

Are you hungry? I made you some cookies.

No. I really need to talk to my mother.

Well, sure. There’s the phone.

Hello? Mom, it’s me.

Tara? What time is it?

I was getting worried.

Mom, listen. I’m in big trouble.

I must have fallen asleep. These stupid pills.

Mom, listen, I need you to come pick me up.

Call a cab, baby. Use my-- Mom, I’m in Vermont!

43 Rhodes Park, Stowe.

43 Rhodes Park, Stowe.

Mom?

Let me get a pen.

Can I call you back in five mi--

Mom, I was fucking kidnapped in fucking Vermont,

and I need some fucking help!

Can you call me back? Mom!

Is everything all right?

You poor dear. It must have-- Please, don’t touch me.

Would you rather I just leave you alone?

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

I’m sorry. Why? You’re the only one that seems to care.

I know this is probably the last thing you want to do right now,

but I need to ask some medical questions, okay?

Yeah.

All right, here.

Are you in good health?

Yeah.

Any chronic diseases?

No.

Transmittable diseases?

You know, like stuff in the blood?

God, no.

Have you been baptized?

Why? It’s just on the form here.

No.

Now, this is a little delicate. Um...

Have you had sexual intercourse?

Excuse me?

I have to ask you in case we have to do a rape test.

No. No, I’ve never been with anybody.

Never a kiss?

It’s a shame. You're such a pretty girl, Tara.

How did you know my name?

In your backpack. You wrote your name inside your textbook.

I don’t write my name in my textbooks.

It would be a long walk. We’re very isolated out here.

The next house is probably five miles.

Wh-- Where are we? Just calm down.

Help!

Help!

- Help! - It’s not what you think.

Help!

Judy!

I have asked you

not to play with her!

I got her information, didn’t I? She fits the criteria.

If I’d left it up to you, we’d know nothing.

Just calm down!

Oh, for goodness sake!

What are you doing to me?

Hello?

Anybody there?

I got a weapon!

Oh, my God!

Help!

Somebody help us! We need help down here.

I can’t swim!

No!

No!

Baby, swim!

Swim!

Grab the rope! Grab the rope!

Grab it!

Oh, breathe. Breathe.

Are you okay?

Who did this to you?

Did that crazy lady, that guy upstairs-- Did they do this to you?

You don’t remember?

They drugged you.

You don’t remember anything?

"Johnny." Johnny, I’m Tara.

Is there a way out of here?

Over here?

Even if we could get up there, we’re not gonna get through the door

without some sort of--

Tools.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

"Get out before it wakes up."

What is it?

Johnny. Johnny, are you okay?

Anton, what are you doing?

This is my rehearsal room. Was.

Well, you’ll get it back tomorrow.

Right now, we have a lot of work to do.

You’re late for your recital.

There are no more recitals, Anton.

That’s what I said when I... picked up the girl.

"You’re late f--"

Why did I say that, Judith?

Well, we’ve all been under a lot of stress. Hmm?

Oh. Yes.

Of course.

Anton, for God’s sake, what are you doing?

I’m just trying to see what color the room used to be.

Burgundy, I think it was. Or was it mauve?

The girl, she’s young.

Oh, so were the others. The others were boys.

What’s done is done. We’ll just deal with it.

It’s my fault. Anton.

If I had known how to swim-- You stop it.

Anton.

You’re my husband and I love you, but you cannot fall apart on me right now.

We have one night-- one more night...

then the whole nightmare’s over.

Burgundy, yes.

I think it was burgundy, hmm?

What do you think’s in there?

Well, maybe we should just leave it and--

leave it alone and it’ll just stay.

Okay, okay. Right.

Okay.

Okay.

This is what we’re gonna do.

I’m gonna count to three,

we’re gonna open that door.

Whatever’s in there, we’re just gonna bash it.

Well, do you have a better idea?

Okay. Ready?

One...

two...

three.

Johnny?

Johnny!

What’s going on here?

Johnny!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God! I wanna go home!

I just wanna go home!

Johnny!

Johnny. Oh, my God. You’re freezing.

I think you’re going into shock.

What the hell did they give you?

Here. Here. I gotta warm you up.

Here.

Hold on to me.

Hold on.

Anton, have you started yet?

Nietzsche.

What?

Friedrich Nietzsche.

German philosopher.

Terrible man. Loved roses.

I remember.

We planted these when the baby was born.

Nietzsche said,

"Anything done out of love

is beyond good and evil."

We’re not evil, then.

Are we, Judith?

I’ll still love you, Judith.

Let’s get started.

Happy birthday.

Make a wish. Can I try out my present first?

No, I think if you-- Come, now.

It’s not every day we turn 15, is it? Hmm?

Okay. But be careful. The lake is cold, the water’s deep.

Yeah, yeah. Don’t worry.

Mom!

No!

Mom!

Keep swimming!

Mommy’s coming!

Keep swimming, honey!

Baby!

Pull him!

Pull him!

Oh, no!

Oh, no!

"From death, as in life,

"yea, though the darkness of death may overwhelm life,

"yea, through the cease of breath and heartbeat,

"thy loved one may live again.

"Between the here and the hereafter lies a land of hope.

"The fires shall burn in you. The dead shall live again.

New blood... for old."

You’ve come.

Will you help us?

What is the cost?

Oh, no. That is monstrous.

- Shut up! - Judith.

Think of what it is asking.

Shut up.

Yes.

We accept.

Dust, thou were my child.

Dust thou art not!

How do you feel?

Sorry. We fell asleep.

I was just trying to keep you warm.

It’s not like we're married or anything.

It’s gotten worse.

I don’t know where it’s coming from.

Johnny?

Johnny? Don’t worry. You’re gonna get better, Johnny, I promise.

You’re gonna get your voice back and we’re gonna get out of here. I promise.

Here. It’s all right. I’ve got you.

Come here. What can I do for you? How can I help?

About what?

What, this?

That’s just some stupid comic that I drew.

Okay. It’s about a dream I had about this princess

who gets exiled from her friends and family

and, uh, so she flees to the woods.

And that’s where she meets them, the people of Thanos.

And there are these evil, evil creatures that everybody’s afraid of.

But they become friends and...

then they protect her and they’d do anything for her.

And she would do anything for them.

Then they--

Johnny! Johnny!

Johnny!

Johnny! No, hold on! Johnny!

Johnny, no!

Johnny!

Damn you, you fucks! You killed him!

Let me out of here!

Hail, Mary, full of grace.

You do what you have to, my son.

Do it and come back to me.

What are you?

It’s empty.

No, that’s impossible.

Where do you get a book like this? This is crazy!

"To those who brought music to my life.

"On the sad occasion of the death

"of their beloved son, Joh--

Jonathan."

"May this book return the music of life to them.

Your humble student, Alamir Taylor Hackett."

This guy was a student?

Your parents made a deal

to bring you back from the dead and the price was what?

Me?

Well, the price was what?

Twelve kids?

Twelve of them?

How often? Once a month?

Every year.

Every year on your birthday?

Last-- Last one.

So I’m the last one?

Then what? You’ll be fully alive again and I’ll be dead?

No!

No!

No! No!

No! No! Johnny!

No! This is not your fault!

No! I’m not gonna let you do that!

That’s why they drugged you, isn’t it?

So you wouldn’t remember.

So you wouldn’t try and kill yourself.

But you do remember sometimes, don’t you?

That’s when I found you.

No! No! No!

No!

Sweetheart?

She’s the last one after this.

No!

You don’t understand, Johnny.

I’m your mother and I love you very much.

Haven’t I always protected you? Haven’t I always been there for you?

You made him a monster!

I did that for him! You did it for you!

Those kids, they had lives! They had parents who loved them!

Don’t you think I know that? Pagliacci.

Shut up, Anton! Aristotle’s Ethics. Don’t you see?

The Lattimore translation. It says-- Oh, please.

You gotta get her out of there! No! Anton!

If you let her out,

you’ll kill our son again.

Dad!

No!

Johnny. Johnny, you can get through this.

No! You’re good!

You’re not a monster. You can.

I can’t.

There’s gotta be another way.

Even if I did, they would take somebody else.

I don’t want their blood on my hands.

Go ahead.

Welcome home, my love.

What do you think? I wrote it for you.

It’s Brahms.

Johnny, say something.

Johnny, what are you doing?

Waiting.

For what?

You know, it’s funny. I was always sort of jealous of you guys.

Your music, how talented you are.

He’s still in shock.

I always thought I must have a talent for something.

And it’s strange. I think I found it.

It turns out, I’m really good at bargaining.

Oh, no!

Johnny, what did you do?

I made a deal, Mom.

You had to give it, what, 12 kids?

I bargained it down to two.

And you wanna know the best part?

Johnny! They didn’t have to be children.

No!

No! No!

No! God, no!

"Meet me in the recital room."

Hey. I was wondering when you’d be up.

Do I know you?

This is our home where I take care of you.

It’s just some medication.

Makes your memory a little fuzzy.

What happened to me?

You’ve been through a lot.

I’m afraid you're gonna start remembering some things that...

aren’t so pretty.

But I’ll help you get through it.

We’ve both been there.

Are we friends?

I’m Johnny.

I’m Tara, I think.

Come on. I’ll show you the lake.
