Innocence (2013) - full transcript

After the untimely death of her mother in a Montauck surfing accident, Beckett, 16, and her father, novelist Miles Warner, move to the city to begin a new life. Enrolled at the exclusive Hamilton preparatory school in Riverdale, Becekett finds first love and discovers that the school is run by a coven of beautiful and seductive women who perpetuate their fountain of youth by drinking the blood of virgins.

Hold on one second, I
gotta take off my necklace.

Whoo!

Mom!

Lena! Lena! Lena!

This is it.

Hey, it's from Natalie.

"Welcome to your new home."

That's sweet.

Sorry.

I didn't mean to
get you all wet.

That's fine,
I'll dry.



Tobey, where are you?

Over here, mom.

Beckett, at last,
you're here!

Hi Natalie.

Welcome to
your new home.

Now I wanted to get you
your Hamilton uniform,

which I think...

oh, good, it's just
exactly the right size.

Beckett, have you
met my son Tobey?

Hi.

Hey.

I thought
I heard voices.

Hey Tobey,
good to see you.

Hi Miles,
how are you?



Thank you so much.

It was my ex-husband's.

So how's the draft?

What draft?

The publisher
won't wait...

Can't sleep?

It never gets dark here.

Isn't that great?

I like the dark.

You know, Hamilton is
a really good school.

We're lucky Nat
could get you in.

I know it's hard, Beck, but this
will be good for us, you know?

It's like a fresh start.

Okay, dad.

Aren't you coming?

I don't want to
embarrass you.

You go on,
have fun.

Welcome to Hamilton,
Rebecca.

I am Ms. Neal,
your principal.

It's Beckett,
not Rebecca.

Beckett,
of course.

Ladies, I'd like to
introduce Beckett Warner.

Say Hello.

You can take that
seat in the back.

Thanks.

So...we need to talk about
what's happened to our heroine.

Sunday?

Um...devirginated.

And so...

So she's without
value to her family.

Very good...
Any other ideas?

Hey, new girl.

You might want
to be careful.

I'm Jen.

Beckett.

So what brings
you to Hamilton?

I just moved
to the city.

Is it job
or divorce?

My mother died.

Oh...I'm sorry,
that sucks.

You dropped this.

Everything's gonna
be alright.

Let's just go to my office
and we can talk about it.

Beckett?

I'm afraid our garden is closed
for renovation this year.

Sorry.

It's okay.

Why don't you
come with me?

Come on.

Come on.

This is our
founder's parlor.

Hello.

Beckett, come in!

She's a Hamilton mother and a
member of our board of trustees.

How do you do?

And this is
Vivienne Carpenter.

She's in charge of
the upper school.

We were just talking
about your dad.

Her father is
Miles Warner.

Natalie's publishing
his new book.

Yes.

I am such a big fan
of your father's.

We read his last one...
it had beautiful poetry in it.

Oh! Beckett?

Are you alright?

Honey, you alright?

Yeah, I just feel dizzy.

Let me take you to the
nurse's office, ok?

Yeah?

Come with me.

Pamela will fix her right up.

I heard about her mother.

So sad.

Pamela, I think
you made a mistake.

That's a rectal
thermometer.

Well, then it's in
the right place.

You're fine.

Thank you, Sunday.

No, I'm sick.

Help me.

Out.

You heard her,
Chloe, out.

I'm going,
I'm going.

Everything is going
to be fine, ok?

Come on!

Careful, we're all sick here.

Hey Chloe, wait up.

Would you like to come through?

You want to hop on?

So you're the new girl, huh?

You can call me Pamela.

Beckett.

Why don't you
lie down?

How are you feeling?

I'm fine.

Just a little bit dizzy before.

I like your necklace.

Thanks, it was my mother's.

Have you eaten today?

Yeah, probably not
enough though.

Alright, under your
tongue, that's it.

I remember my first
day here as a student.

It was a very long time ago.

It gets better.

Alright.

Well, looks fine.

I think you're tired.

Why don't you stay here,
lie down for a while,

and I'll come back
and get you.

Thank you.

Lena! Lena! Lena!

It can be quite challenging, but
I think it's also quite a gift.

We like to think of ourselves
a little like a family.

Well, that is exactly what
she needs right now.

What are you doing here?

Hey, honey.

Your nurse called me.

We thought we'd let
you sleep for a while.

You okay?

Yeah.

Thank you again for
staying with her.

It was fine, I was
working late anyway.

Miles!

Natalie!

Beckett, how are
you feeling?

Much better, thank you.

Hi, I'm Ms. Lawrence.

Nice to meet you.

Beckett, hello.

Pamela, you ready?

We were just looking for you.

Get home safe.

This is the Hamilton
Alumni Book Club.

Ladies, shall we resume?

It's one way to get your blood
pumping on a Friday night.

You better make your
escape while you can.

Thanks again.

It was a pleasure
to meet you.

Your nurse seems nice...
for a school nurse.

Dad...

Hey!

What are you doing?

Come back here!

What is it?

We'll get it
on Monday, honey.

No!

Help me.

No, no, no...No!

Beckett!

Oh my God.

Beckett,
mind if I come in?

Oh, hi.

I wanted to see
how you were doing.

Fantastic.

I found this
in my office.

I thought you might
be missing it.

Thank you.

Your father, he mentioned that
the police had been here again.

Yeah, I told them that I had
seen Sunday cutting herself.

I should have -- I should have
said something earlier.

Beckett, she had been
suffering for a while.

It was me who should've
done more...not you.

Pamela brought us some dinner.

You hungry?

A little.

Beckett told me that you
were also a Hamilton girl.

I was.

When did you realize that it was
your vocation to heal teenagers?

This is really good.

Well, I was studying
botanical medicine in Paris,

where, incidentally, I read
part of your first book.

Why not the whole book?

Distracted.

How?

I fell in love.

Oh yeah,
that'll do it.

And?

He died.

So are you taking
Beckett out of Hamilton?

Probably.
No.

Dad, I don't want to run away.

You sure about this?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Alright then.

Good, that's good.

Honey, you okay?

Uh...yeah, I'm fine.

I think I'm just
going to go to bed.

Goodnight, sweetie.

Thank you for having me.

You feeling better?

Dad...Yeah,
I'm alright.

How late did Pamela
end up staying?

She left pretty soon
after you drifted off.

It was nice of her
to come see you.

Yeah.

So Beckett,
do you know what I do?

You're a psychiatrist.

Yeah, and in the wake of
Sunday Wilson's death,

I'll be seeing students
on a weekly basis.

Did you treat Sunday?

Yes, I did.

Do you think about
Sunday a lot?

Yes.

Why she killed herself,
and if she was scared,

what she was so
scared of exactly.

What do you think
she was scared of?

I don't know.

Aren't you the one who
talked to her every day?

That's Sunday's mom.

Wow...she's so good
at being sad.

Is that a horrible
thing to say?

Her daughter almost
squished you.

You can say whatever
the hell you want.

I can't believe that Pamela
ate at your apartment.

Her like great-great-great,
or something, grandmother

founded this school
so she inherited like

mad amounts of money.

Are she and your dad
like boning hard yet?

What, Jen?

I'm sorry.

Was that rude?

Do you think that Chloe knew
Sunday was going to jump?

I mean, they were best friends.

They had a pact to
stay virgins together.

I don't know.

I kind of wish
I knew Sunday better.

Ok, well, you could
always ask Tobey.

He used to
go out with her.

You know him?

Do you like him or --

It's sine,
not cosine.

Thanks.

So, uh, Jen says
you dated Sunday?

Um, not really.

I mean, we held hands and
fed each other French fries

for a summer, but you know,
that's about it.

I'm sorry, I...

Let's go!

Now.

What floor is yours?

12th one.

Come on, let's go.

Hi Eddie.

Hey, ladies.

Hi.

Jen?

Beckett...

This is my mother.

Beckett, so nice
to meet you.

You, too.

Did you eat
yet, honey?

Yes, Ava.

What did you have?

Salad.

Okay.

This is all she does all day,
like go to the gym

and take vitamins,
and stay hydrated,

not with water of course.

Do you see the way
that she looks at me?

It's like I'm mold, like,
she's like disgusted

that I've grown this far.

Jen, your room,
I really like it.

Thanks.

Kent says it's really important
for me to create my own world

because Ava is
an alcoholic.

Well, my dad's
an alcoholic.

What if they went to
meetings together sometime?

I wish.

How long have you
been seeing Dr. Kent?

Once a week since
I was little.

Ava figured if I didn't
have a dad, then I should

at least have like
a steady therapist.

She and Kent went
to school together.

Come on.

Let's get you out
of that uniform.

These are cute.

Kick it,
kick flip it.

You can get
higher than that.

Hey Jenski.

Hirsch, what are you doing?

Just go sit over there.

You know, I bet I can
flip this chip from here

using only my tongue.

If that chip leaves your mouth,
I'm going to dismember you.

Yes, please!

Hello again.

Hi.

You skate?

Not really.

You should try.

Okay.

There you go.

Want to learn?

You want to teach me?

Hey, Pamela just
dropped by to see you.

I thought you'd
be home sooner.

Hey.

Hi.

She's kicking my ass.

What is this?

Where?

How did I miss that?

Come on, stay
and help me.

I'm tired, I think
I'm going to go to bed.

Well, then I'm
out of here, too.

Beckett, I wanted to
give you something.

I just thought it would
look incredible on you.

I couldn't resist it.

This is really pretty.

Thank you!

You're welcome.

Dad?

Help me.

Help me comb my hair.

Please help me.

Help me! Help me!

It's ok, baby,
it's alright.

Wake up, baby,
wake up, come on.

There you go.

Just a bad dream.

It's alright, baby.

It's ok, it's ok.

I...had a dream about
Sunday last night.

Yeah?

She asked me to
comb her hair.

Did you comb her hair?

I wanted to.

You wanted to?

Beckett, who used
to comb your hair?

My mom.

Nice.

Do you sometimes feel you
could've helped your mom?

She had an aneurysm.

There was nothing
I could do.

That's true but is
that how you feel

or is that how you
think you should feel?

I don't know.

You don't have to know.

You just let your feelings
come out when they're ready.

In the meantime, I'm going
to write a prescription.

It'll help you sleep.

Hi.

Brought you my old deck.

That's goofy,
that's goofy style.

I like being goofy.

Basically the trick to the ollie
is it's basically like

a one-footed jump, but the
second that the tail hits

the ground, you're up off the
board and then your front foot

slides forward and levels
the board out so --

I'll just show you.

Here, why don't
you try?

I got you.

That's good,
that's really good.

You can't overthink
it though,

you just gotta put the
moves down and just...

That was good...
sort of.

No, no, no,
please not by myself.

Hi.

Where were you?

I was at the park
with Jen and Tobey.

I texted you.

Is that why you
smell like pot?

I don't know, I guess
some kids were smoking --

It won't mix with your
prescription, Beck.

Dad, I don't smoke pot.

And on school nights, I want
you home by seven from now on.

I don't need you to tell
me to do my homework.

Good.

Miles...

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Natalie, she persuaded your
father to read at our benefit

and he's not too thrilled about
it...and I think he misses you.

Beckett...are you
taking your pills?

Good.

Anymore nightmares?

No...

but sometimes I hear these
sounds that aren't there.

Do you see things?

There you are,
I was waiting for you.

Come on, let's
get out of here.

You've done this
before, right?

Yeah, and I'm
very hygienic,

you know that.

Ok, go for it.

Tobey is going
to love this.

It's not for him.

Right.

Gloves, ice, extra alcohol,
extremely clean needle.

Just count to 15.

One, two, three,

four...ow...five...

Beautiful.

So, let's see it.

Okay.

That's not bad.

You must have a pretty
amazing teacher.

Where?

Now you just have to
teach me how to surf.

I don't surf anymore.

Why's that?

Because of my mom.

Right.

I'm sorry, that was
a stupid question.

It's okay.

I think you'd be
a good surfer.

So, you wanna
come over?

Today was fun.

Yeah, it was.

Literally, five seconds,
I swear to God.

Just dedicate it
to the color of...

You're bleeding.

It's okay.

Sit down.

Let's see it.

It's might sting
a little.

There, all better.

Thanks, nurse.

Tobey, turn it down --

Jeez, mom, knock.

Beckett, you need
to go home...now.

Hey.

Where's my dad?

He's at a meeting.

We got some review copies
in at the book club.

Natalie called.

We weren't
doing anything.

Listen, if you rush into
something that should be

so beautiful,
it can turn ugly.

Do you understand?

Does my dad
know about this?

No, and he doesn't need to
if you promise me

not to rush into
anything with Tobey.

Can you do that?

Yes.

Goodnight, Beckett.

Goodnight.

Help me.

Help me!

So when are you going
to see Tobey again?

Never if Natalie and
Pamela get their way.

Well, we can be pure as the
driven snow together then.

Why is that?

Hirsch was with
Chloe last night.

36...

Help me.

So Dr. Kent bailed
on our session.

I was going to see if
you wanted to come over.

Is everything okay?

Jen, it happened before.

What?

Ew, gross, I think my mom
actually knew those girls.

Um, I have to go.

Beckett?

Beckett.

Bye.

I was wondering if you
knew these two girls.

No, I didn't know them.

Because Ava said
that she knew them

and I know you guys went
to school together so...

Yes, Ava and I did, but she
was in a different class.

She's a few years older than me.

Beckett, I really wouldn't
believe too much

of what Ava says to you.

She's having some personal
issues right now.

I'm sure you've noticed.

You should get back to class.

Only when Odysseus comes home
is the heroic cycle completed.

That's what I want
you to write about.

A cycle from your own life.

Write something brave.

Like, brave how?

Chloe. Chloe!

Those flowers that you were
drawing before in class...

Sunday, she had them in
her hair the day she died.

Look, Beckett, I don't
want to play with you.

Where did you find this?

Someone mentioned it to me
so I looked it up.

So you're drawing a connection
between these two girls

who drowned and Sunday.

I'm not drawing
a connection.

There is a connection.

They all went to Hamilton and
they all killed themselves.

So what is it about Hamilton
that makes students

want to kill themselves?

I'm not quite sure yet.

Dad?

I really don't want to read.

Do I have to read?

Yes.

Where's my tie?

I know it's here.

Hey honey.

Come on.

It's time to go.

Beautiful.

Beckett, you look
beautiful.

Miles, very nice.

Where's Tobey?

He's home.

He was swamped
with schoolwork.

He was very sorry
to miss you.

Come on in.

Thank you.

Semper et aeternum.

Always and forever.

Beckett, if you'll just
excuse us for a moment.

I'm just tired,
I'm tired of all this.

You're not tired, Ava,
you're drunk.

Hello...I know
I've seen you before.

Have you lived
in Perugia?

No, I'm afraid
I haven't.

Perhaps it was somebody
who looked like me.

I'm sorry to
interrupt --

Please no, please don't
be angry at me.

We're not angry at you.

We're disappointed.

Malia, Malia!

Don't call me that,
don't call me that.

You need to
go to sleep.

You'll be better
in the morning.

Come on, let's go outside.

It's locked.

I got mom's keys.

What's wrong?

Beck?

Where are you going?

Beck?

Hey, I've been looking
for you everywhere.

Where have you been?

I thought that you
were at home studying?

I am.

Do you have a key
for this one?

Yeah, of course.

Your mom just left the keys
where you could find them?

That's kind of weird.

What are you
looking for?

Relax.

What is this?

It's a Shirley Temple.

Ah, it's gross.

How can you
drink that?

I think it's delicious.

Your loss.

Don't lay down on that, Tobey.

It's disgusting.

It's fine,
they clean it.

This place is
kinda creepy.

You can go back out
if you want, Jen.

Why is it I don't
like that idea?

What are you doing?

I'm trying to figure out
what kind of pills

Pamela is giving to Chloe.

This is Vicodin.

Excellent.

Hey, maybe we should not be
going through Pamela's meds.

Can we just go?

Stop complaining.

Am I interrupting
something?

I wasn't feeling well so I was
just looking for something

to help with the pain.

Tobey, Jen, will you go
rejoin the others please?

We really weren't doing
anything, Pamela.

Sunday, she gave me
this the day she died.

My family have been
looking after this school

for generations, Beckett.

These are private keepsakes.

Do you understand?

Are you testing me, Beckett?

Breaking into a school office
crosses a line

that you can't cross!

Do you understand?

Yes.

I already told you
I wasn't feeling well.

Beckett, do not
lie to me.

Dad, do you not see
what's been going on here?

What?

She was giving pills
to Sunday, okay,

and now she's trying to
give them to Chloe, too.

Will you just
listen to me?

She's the school nurse,
Beckett.

If a student is taking
prescribed medication,

It's more than that and
you're not listening!

What more than that?
What are you talking about?

Pamela, explain to
her what you do.

What is she
talking about?

Beckett, do not
walk away from me.

Rebecca, I am trying
to talk to you.

Rebecca? Rebecca,
I am trying to talk to you.

What is that?

It's nothing.

That is a hunk of metal
in your belly button.

You know what, Dad,
it's mine...Mine!

So get out!

Can I talk with her,
please, Miles?

Get out!

You know, you really remind me
of myself when I was your age.

You're so stubborn.

I am nothing like you,
whatever you are.

Beckett, honey?

Talk to me, Beckett,
talk to me, talk to me.

It's okay,
it's alright.

It's okay, baby,
it's okay, baby.

I'm here, it's okay.

It's gonna be okay,
it's gonna be okay, alright.

There you go.

I'll be back pretty late
so the deal is,

you're not going to leave
the apartment, right?

Okay.

I love you.

Hey Hirsch.

Do you trust me?
You gotta try this.

Just stay cool and
wait...trust me.

Hey.

Hold on.

Hey.

Hi.

Um, can you come over?

It's really important.

I don't think I can.

Tobey, I'm serious, I really
need you to come over.

Wait, what's wrong?

I don't want to tell
you on the phone.

I have to show
you something.

Beckett, what's going on?

Get over here now.

Who is it?

It's me.

What is that?

Wake up.

You're still pure
aren't you, Beckett?

Beckett, wake up.

You're just dreaming.

Beckett, it's me.

Your father asked me
to check in on you.

Have you taken your
medication today?

Yeah.

You...drugged me.

Beckett,
you cut yourself.

I'm just going to
clean it, okay?

No!

Hey, just, you lie still.

No.

I'm worried you're going
to hurt yourself, okay?

It's okay, calm down.

Get off me!

Stop it.

You're one of them.

You know what, you're upset
and I totally understand that,

but I am not going to
hurt you, I promise.

God...you scared me.

It's beautiful.

What is it?

It's for you.

Hey, what's wrong?

Tobey, I want you to know that
if anything ever happened to me,

I would never do anything
to hurt myself, okay?

Beckett,
what's going on?

You won't believe me.

Of course I will.

It's Pamela and
the book club...

They're trying
to kill me, Tobey.

I got you, didn't I?

Beckett...we don't
have to do this.

I want to.

Hey.

I wasn't sure if you were
ever going to wake up.

Can I borrow a shirt?

Yeah.

I should probably get going.

Your mom is going
to wake up soon.

She's not going to be
back until later tonight

after the book club meeting.

Book club is tonight?

Yeah, why?

Tobey, I need to borrow
your phone, okay?

Beck, what's going on?

I'm sorry.

This is nuts.

Miles, I know this is hard,
but this is what kids...

How could this happen?

This is what kids do.

She'll be home
when she's ready.

Trust me.

It's Beckett.

Everyone's like freaking out
and looking for you.

Don't freak out.

I'll explain later.

I just need you to meet me.

Can you please meet me?

Why are you on Tobey's phone?

Jen?

I'm going to call you back
in like two minutes, okay?

No, don't hang up!

Hi sweetie.

Hi mom.

You look so beautiful.

What's going on?

Oh sorry.

Is Jen home?

I think she's
in her room.

Jen? Jen!

Jen?

Jen?

Hey, it's me.

Tobey, they have Jen.

No, no, we have to help her.

I think they're going
to kill her, Tobey.

Please believe me.

I'm really scared.

Can you meet me by the tunnel?

Okay, when it's dark.

Hello?

Hey Jen, it's Tobey.

Tobey?

Is everything okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Just here with mummy,
bored out of my mind.

So you're sure you're okay?

Mm-hmm.

Okay, gotta go.

Okay...freak.

Tobey!

Tobey, we have to go, okay?

Beckett, wait.

What's wrong?

Beckett.

They're gonna help you, Beck,
they'll take you somewhere safe.

Tobey cares about
you a great deal.

Don't make this harder
on him than it has to be.

This is yours.

Come on.

I'm sorry.

Stop!

Pamela?

Pamela?

I can't wait anymore.

You didn't answer your phone.

We have to do something.

I didn't answer my phone because
I was talking with Beckett.

Where is she?

I don't know.

She didn't say, but she's safe
and she promised me

that she would call you
later tonight.

Oh God.

It's alright.

It's alright.

This is Beckett's.

Well, I don't know
how it got here.

Are you sure she
was wearing it?

Yeah!

I have so much
filing to do.

Yeah, well, I guess I'll go
home and wait for her call.

If I get all this
finished in time,

I'll come home and
we'll be together.

Alright, it's fine.

It's time.

Jen?

You're going to be just fine.

I want you to know that you
will be with me forever.

No...no, please.

Somebody, please!

Help!

Shhh...

I will not feed you.

Alverna...

When I left her in your care,
she was pure.

It's not my fault, she ran away.

Your blood is
worthless to me now...

but my blood, it can
help you live.

Don't be afraid.

Taste it...

No, no.

Join us.

You're mine,
you're mine.

Let's go.

Beckett, it's okay,
I'm right here.

Beckett, it's over.
