Josie & Jack (2018) - full transcript

Mr. Raeburn?

It's Cathy Delano
from Social Services.

We spoke on the phone?

I want it,
I want the house.

I've eaten.

See what you can
find in the kitchen.

You think you know

about the nature of my parental
responsibility towards you

but soon you'll realize that
my parental responsibility

is not the issue.

Food is the issue.



Parental responsibility
construct is irrelevant.

You're still going
to bed hungry.

Do you understand?

Do you finally understand?

You've got an audience.

That's ridiculous.

They look good on you.

Got it, Jo.

Uh, 8.57.

You're those
Raeburn kids, right?

No, we're the other ones.

He likes you.

Couldn't take his eyes off you.

Well, we're the
mysterious recluses



who don't go to school, so.

You gonna
wear those sunglasses

I bought for you or what?

Take functional relationships.

We design the experiments
that define them,

we give them names,

we spend centuries proving
and reproving them,

but we don't create them.

They're invisible machines
existing outside of us.

I am talking, children,
about constants.

Jack, gimme an
example of a constant.

Gravity.

Well, you mighta
been right 60 years ago

before space travel and
experimental antigravity aircraft.

Josephine.

Hook's Law.

Which is?

The ratio of
weight on a spring

to the elongation of a spring.

Good, the relationship
between weight and tension.

Always constant,
always the same.

Nature makes sense, children.

We're the ones who
fucked it all up.

Countries, governments,
all false constructs

created by the human urge

to carve, to parcel, to own.

Josephine.

You're not eating.

Eat.

Three more
days until he's gone.

Two days, one morning.

I think you should make
friends with that kid

from the drugstore.

Why?

To let us sneak that
stuff behind the counter.

Maybe you can even try
your hand at flirting.

Are you kidding?

You know the only boy
that I talk to is you.

No, don't worry.

You can talk circles around him.

I mean, you had him
the moment he saw you.

Consider.

Friday afternoon,
Raeburn comes home

in a foul mood as usual,

ranting and throwing things

and there's you and me in
the middle of it like always.

Except this time, we
dropped a couple Valium

a few hours back, and we're
feeling no pain whatsoever.

And then he
throws a plate at my head

and I'm too doped to duck.

I'll catch it
before it hits you.

Throw it right the
fuck back at him.

Or we could just
drug his coffee

and then he'd leave us alone.

Try again.

Something other
than my old T-shirt.

I like your old T-shirt.

Trust me.

And take down your hair.

It's too fucking hot.

Uh, where's the toothpaste?

Uh, just on your left.

Your name is Jo?

It um, it's Josie.

It's short for Josephine.

I just, I heard your
brother call you Jo

when you guys were here last.

Oh.

I'm Kevin.

So do you go to the movies much?

Not often.

I, well, do you like music?

What's
taking you so long?

Huh?

Hey.

This is Kevin.

We were talking about music.

Oh yeah?

What kind?

We hadn't really got that far

but I'm really

into like early jazz, hard
bop, that kinda stuff.

Oh nice.

I just picked up "Blue Train"
down in Pittsburgh at Eide's.

I haven't been but I hear

that they've got
everything there.

They do.

You wanna come by later,
listen to some Coltrane,

have a couple beers?

Okay.

Hi.

Hi.

Um, I like your dress.

Thanks, it was my mother's.

I've never been in one
of these old houses before.

My mom's crazy about 'em.

She does the historic
homes tour every spring.

Are you on that?

We're not a very open to
the public kind of a family.

Yeah, I guess not.

But I'm sure none of
those other houses

have as much cool
stuff in 'em as yours.

Greetings.

Hey.

Oh, thanks.

Yeah.

This place is amazing.

Looks like it should be haunted.

Is it?

Only by us.

Wait here a minute.

I'll be right back.

I think it's great
that you and your brother

are so close.

If I had to spend more than
15 minutes with my sister,

I think one of us
would kill the other.

I just think it's
different with us.

Yeah, I think so too.

Jesus, do you have any
more tricks up your sleeve?

Josie might have

one or two more
surprises left in her.

Company first.

It's hideous, isn't it?

Looks like a friend of mine.

Why do you call
your dad Raeburn?

I don't know, I guess
we always kinda just have.

Is he gonna be
mad that I was here?

No, he's not gonna
be back for days.

He teaches physics
up at the college.

And he doesn't like the commute

so he just stays
there during the week.

I thought he homeschooled you.

He does, just on the weekends.

What about your mom?

She died when I was a kid.

No, it's fine.

I never met her but Jack did.

I kissed him.

You were supposed to.

Factoring
polynomial equations.

It just all
seems like guesswork,

like there's no process.

You're scared, girl.

You're so paralyzed with fear

that you can't even make
a simple deductive leap

without a process to guide you.

Let's examine a hypothetical.

Say you were given a choice

to study with me here at home

or go to the idiot factory

with all the other kids
and be spoonfed theory

like pureed vegetables.

What do you choose?

Huh?

- I...
- No, you wouldn't go.

You wouldn't dare put
yourself at the mercy

of the outside world.

But let's say that
you were normal, okay?

A normal girl with
a normal upbringing.

Doll houses, ballet, a
mommy who baked cookies,

never an unhappy
day in your life,

never an original
thought in your skull.

What do you choose then?

I don't know.

I guess I've never
been that way.

Well,
thank God for that.

Thinking about
your new boyfriend?

Stop.

Oh shit, you are.

Look at you.

Are you blushing?

No, I'm, no, no.

No, I'm not in love
with him, Jack.

Yeah, but you like him.

He's nice.

He's an idiot.

No, he's not an idiot.

He's normal.

Don't you ever wonder
what it would be like

to just be normal?

You'd hate it.

I mean, how high tech
can the security system be?

It's not.

I just think it's more
trouble than it's worth.

Just think about it,
it's all I'm saying.

All right.

He's so beautiful.

No, I can't, I can't do this.

No, I can't do this.

I'm sorry.

I really like you, Josie.

You like this life but
you don't even know me.

You just like the package.

Okay, you have got
me totally wrong.

I like coming here
but, you know,

with my friends, we go to
parties and we go to the mall

and we do things.

And here, all we do is we sit
around in this living room,

we smoke pot with your brother.

And I like him, I
like Jack, but...

It's you, Josie.

I'm here for you.

- Ah, ow!
- Oh.

Are you all right?

You just hurt my hair here.

- Did you hurt her?
- Got my hair.

Did you fucking

- hurt my sister, huh?
- No, no!

- I didn't, she's fine,
- Jack, Jack!

- she's fine.
- I'm fine, look at me.

Let him go.

I'm fine.

He just caught my hair.

It's fine.

Go home.

Josephine!

Jack!

Come in here.

Have a drink.

A toast to the two of you.

You insane fucking
children.

Ah, you're the
world's only hope.

Sit down.

Would you like to hear what
your father did this week?

Sure.

How was the office, Daddy?

Ghastly.

I'm surrounded by idiots.

Professor Ben Sorrells,

rockstar scientist himself.

He's up for tenure.

And he'll get it, too.

May his teeth fall out
and his limbs wither

one by one into uselessness.

I thought
Sorrells was harmless.

Sorrells is a human plague

who spends more time on his hair

than he does his research.

Not to worry, children.

I have a plan.

I have a man on the inside.

Well, a woman.

Margaret Revolt.

She's enrolled in
one of his classes.

Sometimes I think that I
should bring her up here.

You, in particular, Josephine,

you would benefit
from knowing her.

Oh, by all means bring her up.

You'd know I love to meet her.

Margaret would eat

you alive, boy.

I haven't had such
a promising student

since your mother,

for all the good
her promise did her.

All those years under
my careful tutelage,

and what did she give the world?

What is the grand end result?

You.

Vain,

shallow, lazy, superficial.

Put that goddamn thing down!

I'm done with you, both of you.

Get outta here.

Get out.

You sure
you left it unlocked?

I told you, I
taped down the bolt.

There.

Okay.

The camera should be off.

It better be off.

Hey, come on, hurry up.

Remember you promised
you wouldn't go crazy.

Just a couple pills.

Couple, couple dozen,

really what's the difference?

Jack.

Jack, please.

You sure
you don't want any?

I can't risk getting caught
with any of that stuff.

But thanks.

Oh no, thank you.

Admit it, being bad is fun.

I'm not sure that's
the word I'd use.

Kevin, you won't
have to do this again.

Okay.

Hey, Kev, relax, man.

Let's have another drink?

I'll be back.

Okay.

Enjoying yourself?

Yes.

Good.

'Cause this is the last night.

What?

Well, we don't
need him anymore.

Just tell him to take a hike.

No.

Yes.

I like him, Jack.

This was your idea, okay?

All of this was your idea.

It was my idea to
milk him for the drugs.

It was not my idea to sit
upstairs by myself all night

while he fucks my little
sister on the family couch.

Josie.

One second.

Did he tell you
that he loves you?

Hmm?

Did you believe him?

I'm the only person
who's ever loved you.

The only person in
the entire world.

You'll call me?

I said I would, didn't I?

Did you send him packing?

Good girl.

There's a gap
between us and them.

You can't bridge it.

You're not like them.

You're never gonna be.

We're different.

We're better.

The annual faculty
party is next Friday.

It's the sort of
ridiculous event

that I normally try to avoid

but this thing with Sorrells,

I can't afford to be antisocial.

You two will come as well.

We'll put on a show.

Happy, charming family.

No way.

You have somewhere else to be?

Maybe I do.

You do what you like.

But if I don't see
you at that party

then I'd better not see
you back here either.

Do we understand each other?

Go to hell.

So well spoken.

You sound like your mother.

And we all know
how she ended up.

Decomposing in a pool of
her own vomit, wasn't it?

She counted on all the
biological trinkets

that you two see in the mirror

to make her way for her.

You'd find yourself as
lost in the real world

as she did.

I've built you two a
lovely little world

where you won't ever
become what she was,

and all that I ask
is that you show up

at a party and play
nice for my colleagues.

Fuck you!

Jack.

Let's just get this over with.

You must
be Joseph's kids.

Have we met?

Not that you'd remember.

You were only children.

I'm Claire.

My office is down the
hall from your father's.

Chemistry.

I'm not sure if physicists
should be allowed to breed

without prior consent.

But you two seemed to
have turned out all right.

No, we're painfully average.

I'm unconvinced.

We have to get
back to our father.

Excuse us.

I'll join you.

I should say hello.

God, is everyone at this
party gonna hit on us?

Eugene, listen, what
can possibly be left

of quantum mechanics
after being filtered

through a brain raised on
30-second promotional spots?

A pseudo revolution led
by pseudo scientists

whose only hypothesis
is black holes are sexy.

I'm not saying Ben
is a brilliant theorist

but he is a wonderful teacher.

Being popular doesn't make
you a wonderful teacher.

Might make you prom king...

You're only jealous because
you didn't get to stand up

on stage and wear
the crown, Joseph.

Don't worry, dear.

I'll ask you to the next
Sadie Hawkins.

You see how
Margaret Revolt looks at him?

That's pathetic.

I'm drunk and I'm stoned.

Let's just go home.

Gimme five minutes.

Whoa.

Oh, sorry about that.

Sorry about that.

It's okay.

- Okay.
- I am so sorry.

It's okay.

Are you okay?

I'm fine, um...

You're Ben Sorrells.

Yes, I am.

I'm Josie Raeburn.

Oh, right, yes.

I shoulda realized that.

There's a family resemblance.

You know, I've been
hearing about you

since I started teaching.

Not from my father.

No.

From everybody else though.

Every time his name comes up

somebody always says,
"Wait'll you meet his kids."

Wait till you meet
his kids to do what?

Well, they just all, they say

that you're really something,

that you're
good-looking and smart

and all the things that we seem

to really like people
for these days.

You know, your father,
he's brilliant, you know.

Not my...

My father's a raging
son-of-a-bitch.

Excuse me.

Are you okay?

She's okay.

Just steer clear of the shrimp.

You all right?

Wanna get some air?

What's going on.

What's wrong?

She wasn't feeling good.

I can handle it
from here, Sorrells.

In front of my
colleagues, Josephine?

I'm sorry.

Who gave it to you?

Was it Sorrells?

What she didn't get
herself I got for her.

She's sick enough already.

Oh, excellent, boy.

You get your sister drunk,

your 16-year-old sister

drunk in public.

Oh, as opposed to in
private where it's okay?

Well, take her
if you want her.

You've already ruined her.

You're okay now.

You're okay.

I gotcha.

I know you're
in there, Raeburn.

I can fucking smell you!

Goddamn it, Raeburn,
get out here!

Raeburn!

You fucking liar!

Raeburn!

Raeburn, I know you're in there.

Get out here.

Sorrells
is at the door.

Well then, perhaps
we should let him in.

Go get your father.

I know he's in there.

Something I can help you with?

You know damn well
why I'm here, Raeburn.

Tell her to go inside.

Why, will it destroy
her good image of you

to learn that you sleep
with your students?

I didn't sleep with Margaret
Revolt and you know it.

Look, Josephine,
Benjamin just discovered

that life is unfair.

Aren't you glad you
already know that?

You unbelievable bastard.

It's unfortunate.

Perhaps in your next position
you'll be more careful

around your female students.

You can't do this.

You can't do this!

Raeburn!

Raeburn, you fucking liar.

You call them and you
tell them it's not true!

Raeburn, goddamn it!

In place of it.

You have all my backing.

I got something for you.

Josephine, get down here now!

You little ingrates.

He went in my office.

He took

something that belongs to me.

A letter.

Did you help him?

Did you help him?

You stupid little shit!

Goddamn idiot!

Your brother just ruined me.

He's...

This is my house!

You think you count
for something here?

You're nothing.

You're just a couple of viruses

that your mother left
behind for me to deal with.

Everything about you

is a waste of my time.

Please stop.

Oh no, no, he's gone, he left.

He's not coming back.

You, you backed the wrong horse.

Yeah, that's what you did.

You backed the wrong...

Then.

All right.

Hello?

Josie,
it's Ben Sorrells.

Tell your father
that Margaret Revolt

is going to confess
to the false report,

to all of it.

I can't do that.

He'll kill me.

Will you thank
your brother for me?

Jack's not here.

He left.

Why didn't
you go with him?

Josie.

You know this isn't
the way the world is.

People acting like this.

It doesn't matter.

There's
somebody coming

to pick up the truck this week.

I want it gone.

It's been long enough.

Your brother spent eight years
too long with that woman.

He will always try
to charm the world

out of its basket
and he'll die angry

because it doesn't work.

Just like she did.

Hey.

I saw my room.

Guess I'm outta the
family for good now, huh?

Where's the key to this?

Why?

Because I need money.

It's mine, if you needed it,

you should've taken
it when you left.

Trying to make me feel guilty

isn't gonna get you anywhere.

You think I wanted
to leave you here?

You must've because you did.

Josie.

I came back for you.

Whose car is this?

Becka.

You'll meet her.

You can go to sleep if you want.

It's gonna take us a few
hours to get to Erie.

Josie.

We're here.

Becka should be home soon.

Does your pop
know you're here.

It doesn't matter.

Ignore me.

I didn't mean nothin'.

I never mean nothin'.

Half the things

that come out of my mouth

you can't even
listen to.

Hear, hear.

I'm kinda tired.

Is there somewhere
that I can lie down?

Sure thing, sweetie.

This here couch folds out.

We'll just leave you be.

Well, hey there, sweetie.

What do you think
of little ol' Becka?

I think your
accent's bullshit.

I missed you.

Okay.

You didn't tell me this
is a part of the plan.

Look, we'll get
out of here soon.

I promise.

In the meantime,
this is a good setup.

Becka rakes it in down
at the strip club.

How soon?

Soon.

We'll go somewhere good.

Big city.

Nobody to bother us.

Nobody will know
anything about us.

I was just drifting and
this was where I washed up.

You gotta put your hands on.

Let 'em.

You're not playing it.

So, I gotta go
to the mall today.

Figured you'd be tired but if
you wanna come, you could...

It's okay.

I'm fine, thank you.

We should hang out you and me

and get to know each other.

You can tell me all your
brother's dirty little secrets.

Are you
sure you wanna know?

You mean like careful what
you wish for and all that?

Smart girl.

I was mostly
kidding.

I wasn't.

I should be going.

You weren't actually planning
on her staying here, were you?

Like staying staying.

Come on, she's my sister.

I'm not
running a girls' home.

She's taking up my
entire living room.

Couple of weeks, that's it.

We better let
her sit in front.

Hey, gorgeous.

Hey yourself.

Did y'all have a nice night?

Ah, usual.

How was yours?

All I wanna do is
sleep for a hundred years.

Sorry, you have
something to say?

No, I don't.

Yeah.

I bet.

Hey, relax, she
didn't do anything.

No, no, of
course she didn't.

Hey, man.

What's up.

- How you doing?
- Good, how are you doing?

Good.

Where's Becka?

Ah, she's still in bed.

I'll go get her up.

Mark, my sister Josie.

Bad news.

She's tired.

The two of us are just
gonna hang out here.

You two should go though.

Jack.

Go, Josie.

There's no reason for you
to sit around her all day.

Fine.

If you think she
planned this, you're right.

She told me about it yesterday.

Somehow that
doesn't brighten my mood.

Well, I'm
not saying it should

but you can't really blame her.

There she was, living
with your brother

who treats her good mostly.

And then along comes
a 16-year-old sister

and all of a sudden
he hardly gives her

- the time of day anymore.
- Okay, I'm 17.

Not that that's any
of your business.

How old do you think
Jack is anyway?

Listen.

I'm not saying I don't have
opinions about your brother.

I've got plenty of those.

Come on.

I didn't slog all
the way out here

just to sit in the car.

So what did Becka say when
she asked you to do this?

Uh, exact words?

"Mark, sweetie, Jack's weird
little sister's visiting.

"I need to get her outta
my hair for a day or so.

"You think you could
entertain her?"

She called me weird?

She mighta called you a freak.

I can't really remember.

Hey.

She said you're weird.

So what?

She's weird.

I'm weird.

Who fucking cares?

You know I'm underage.

Sorry.

Becka told me you were 30.

I have no updated information.

So Jack says that
you fence things.

From time to time, I
find homes for objects

that have lost their way, yes.

How does one get
into that occupation?

You're asking a
lot of questions.

Well, I am 30.

I should know.

Yeah, I guess you
are, aren't you?

You know something?

What?

I like you more than
I like your brother.

You are quite
something, Josie Raeburn.

Likewise, Mark
last name unknown.

Mmm hmm.

Hello,
ain't you two cute.

See I was going
for more adorable.

We got a table.

I gotta go to the bathroom.

You okay?

Yeah.

You're cute when you're drunk.

Did Mark make a
move on you today?

Did Becka make a
move on you today?

Well, I kept her happy.

In case you haven't noticed,

it's in our best interest
to keep Becka happy.

Yeah, don't I fucking know it.

You didn't answer my question.

Dance with me.

Dance with me please, Jack.

Jack, just dance with me.

- Jack.
- Hey, let's go.

Why don't I

get you home, okay?

- Let's dance.
- Come on,

it's time for you to go home.

Stop.

Stop, all right?

What's going on?

I'm gonna take her home.

She's pissed drunk.

I don't wanna go home.

I wanna stay.

Okay, so stay.

I'll see you back at the house.

Well, why
can't Mark take her?

Mark's not taking
my sister anywhere.

Your sister.

Your fucking sister.

I didn't sign up for this shit.

I'm tired of her.

Her smug little looks
always watching you

like she's so much
better than me.

- Well, she's not.
- Hey, relax, relax,

- relax, relax.
- You see the way she

- wrapped all over Mark?
- Chill out, okay?

Your
precious little sister?

Just calm down.

Don't you
tell me to calm down.

This is my house!

No, oh oh.

Hey!

That's my brother!

- Oh no!
- Lay off!

Ow, ow, ow, ow!

Not going like this!

You asshole.

You're a snake.

You think just because
you're a good fuck

you can walk all over me?

You hitter!

Get the fuck out!

Get your stuff.

Now, Josie.

Can I get ya?

Eggs, toast, two.

Kinda
eggs, kinda toast?

Over hard, white.

All righty.

Here.

This one.

"Alphabet City studio
sublet available immediately."

Right, so,

it's 350 a month,
mattress included.

You pay me in cash.

No bullshit.

You're late, you're out.

We want it.

I'm Luis.

I'm the super, I
live downstairs.

Rent was due on the 1st,

so you're kinda late.

But it's the 11th.

Yeah.

Sorry.

Ooh, fucking battery acid.

We'll drink
champagne next week.

There is
no next week, Josie.

We're outta cash.

You're the one who
wanted to come here, Jack.

Just say it.

I just want you

to fucking say it, okay?

I ruined your life, didn't I?

You were happy as a
little princess with Daddy

and then I waltzed right in

and now you're
living in squalor.

Hmm?

You fucking prima donna.

You prima donna, you fucking...

Fuck.

Write happy birthday,
Josie, from Becka.

I don't think
this is gonna work.

You got a better idea?

Okay, good.

Keep back a little so it doesn't
look like we're together.

Next.

Next.

All right.

Next.

Just this.

2.50.

Next.

I gave you a 50.

It was a five.

No, I gave you a 50.

It was a five, miss.

You put it underneath
your register.

It has a birthday message
from my aunt in purple ink.

Shit.

Sorry about that.

- Thank you.
- Next.

Hmm?

Rookie move.

What?

I saw the ink when you paid.

You shouldn't have used purple.

Too memorable.

Just leave us alone, okay?

Why should I?

Be nice, Jo.

Yeah, be nice, Jo.

Jack, let's just go please.

Jack.

I'm Lily.

My friend lives right up here.

His parties are amazing.

You'll just die when
you see his place.

Will I?

Will I just die?

I'll have
him buzz us up.

Maybe you could
be a little bit less

of a hostile bitch, huh?

Maybe I should just go home

and let you guys seal this
whole deal without me.

We're in.

Let's go.

Having a good time?

Sure, yeah, whatever

Oh good.

"Sure whatever" is exactly
the reaction I look for

when I throw a party.

I'm Carmichael.

Josie.

So how do you know Lily?

We met her earlier today.

Yeah, she does that.

Meets people.

And just for my own
personal edification,

how did she meet you?

My brother and I were
robbing a sandwich shop.

Ah.

Your brother.

That makes more sense.

Maris,
she's his sister.

Told you
Lily had it handled.

That's what Lilys do
after all, handle things.

What kind of things?

Fabulous things.

Like your brother.

So what do you do?

Nothing.

You're one of us.

Think I like her.

Oh.

Here, this is for dinner

and whatever else you may need.

Where is all this
money coming from?

Where do
you think, sister of mine?

Don't wait up.

Bullshit.

Bullshit.

Oh, shit.

Who is it?

It's Josie.

What's up?

Do you got a light bulb?

Yeah.

Yeah, come on.

The wiring's all fucked up.

Oh, I'm sorry.

What?

Uh, I shouldn't talk like that

around a lady.

At least that's what
my wife says anyway.

No, it's fine.

Don't worry about it.

So you live with your brother?

That's nice.

You know, staying
with family and all.

He doesn't seem to
like me very much.

He
doesn't like anybody.

Yeah, well, some
people are like that.

What's going on?

The wiring's all messed up.

Luis is helping.

Oh, don't bother.

We don't need it.

Maybe you don't.

You're never here.

You know, I'll just
come back some other time.

I left some things in
my tool box anyway.

Thank you so much.

Not a problem at all.

God, you're such
an asshole sometimes.

You know you're lucky
I came in when I did.

What, you think he
was just helping

out of the kindness
of his heart?

Yeah, he's the super.

It's his job, Jack.

Oh, you're so naive.

Why do I even...

Look, it doesn't matter.

It really doesn't matter.

We're outta here.

How?

We're moving in with Lily.

Christ, Josie.

What do you think I've been
doing this entire time?

I told Lily we couldn't
afford our place

and she jumped right on it.

She said, "Move
in here, darling."

So I said, "I don't go
anywhere without my sister."

She said she feels
sorry for you.

She's a liar.

I'm sure she is.

Who cares.

She's got a two-bedroom
on the Upper West Side

and the rent comes straight
out of her trust fund.

You think I can
keep her on the line

until we get tired of her?

She's so high half the time

she doesn't know whether
she's coming or going.

Or coming.

You sound like me.

Jack.

Come here, come
here, come here.

Smaller sister.

This is it.

Okay?

This is our chance.

It's beautiful.

I like the flowers.

Lilies obviously.

My florist delivers
them every week.

Santa Barbara, Madonna,
science fiction.

These are my favorites.

Lilies of the valley.

When I was a kid I had a cat
that died from eating them.

So sad.

This will be like our
own little slumber party.

I bet you've never even been
to a slumber party, have you?

And Jack told me all
about how your dad

kept you locked up in
that crazy old house

all by yourself.

So "Flowers in the Attic".

Really.

It's a wonder you two turned
out as normal as you did.

Oh, we're
not that normal.

Well, forgive me if
I hold out a shred of hope

for your sister.

Her?

She's the sick one.

Way worse than me.

Beloved sister.

Did you sleep well?

Is your brother not brilliant?

Are you not blissfully happy?

Blissfully.

Good.

Lily gets home at seven.

We're all going out.

She said to borrow
something from her closet.

Okay.

Sorry.

You're home early.

Jack said that I could
borrow something to wear.

Yeah, it's fine, of course.

I just had to get
out of that office.

My dad's on the board.

What are they gonna do, fire me?

You look great.

When in doubt wear black.

What can we do about
that hair though?

You have great hair

if you knew what to do with it.

And here.

Can I get dressed now?

Yeah, thank you.

Well, well.

You look as good
as your brother.

Guess Lily found her newest
bit of window dressing.

Window dressing?

Take advantage of
it while you can.

She'll drop you
when she gets bored

like she always does.

Oh, for fuck sake, Maris.

Stop acting like a
jilted girlfriend.

It's so unattractive.

I'm getting a drink.

Please do.

Don't mind her.

She's always like this
when Lily gets a new toy.

Want a drink?

How am I supposed to choose?

I mean, look at you two.

Honestly.

Well, one of us
is your sister.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm mmm mmm.

You out to
lunch with her again?

Just some old friend
from boarding school.

You know what you
are to her, right?

The answer to
her wildest fantasies.

A new toy,

a pet, the new piece
of window dressing.

Ah, let her think
what she wants.

She's on my hook, not
the other way around.

You better get going.

She's waiting.

Hi.

God, Lily, what's on your arm?

Nothing.

I'm hungry, Jack.

Can we just...

No, we're
going out, just wait.

Well, I could just
make us sandwiches...

Goddamn it, Josie.

I told you.

She'll be home any minute.

Just wait.

She is two hours late.

She got held up at work.

Yeah, she's famous
for her work ethic.

Sorry I'm so late.

Maris and I went to
grab a quick drink

and then it was like
whoa, look at the time.

No problem.

Hmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.

You smell like beer.

I hate the smell of beer.

I brought Thai food.

I've been meaning to tell you

I'm heading down to St.
Barts for the long weekend.

Okay.

If I don't get out of the city

every few months, I go nuts.

But you guys can take
care of everything, right?

Like it was our own.

Except it's not.

Anyway.

Carmichael is having
a party tomorrow.

I thought it'd be
fun before I leave.

Yeah.

That's probably him right now.

Hi.

You okay?

She was supposed
to take me with her

to St. Barts.

Maybe she changed her mind.

Fuck off!

I want you to stick close
to me tonight, okay?

Stay where I can see you.

I don't trust these people.

Stay where you can see me?

Why don't you stay

- where I can see you?
- Well, don't be a bitch

right now, Josie.

I'm not in the mood.

You know what?

Fuck you, fuck you very much.

You look
disappointingly sober.

I am.

Here.

Jo, meet Joe.

Greetings.

Hi.

So what I hear is that you're

Lily Carter's new protege, huh?

I, no, I just stay with her.

She's, you know, whatever
she is with my brother.

I see, and what are you?

She's seventeen.

Is that so?

Yeah.

Well, then lets get you
another one of those, huh?

Where are we?

Joe's place.

You drank too much.

You need to lie down.

Oh God, Jack.

Shh shh shh shh.

Jack said it's okay.

Jack.

Shh.

Jack?

Jack.

Where's the bathroom?

To the left.

That's Ingrid.

That's my ferret.

You wanna hold her?

- No, I'm fine.
- Come on, come on.

No, she's cool.

She's super sweet.

You'll like her.

Come here, baby.

Mornin', mornin'.

Here, here, just hold
her for a second.

No, I'm fine.

Ah!

- Ow, ow, ah!
- No, no don't.

No, no, you're freaking out.

Ah ah ah.

Don't freak out,
don't freak out.

You're gonna fucking hurt her!

You fucking hurt her.

Goddamn it.

Get the fuck outta
here, all right?

Just get the fuck out.

It's all right,
baby, it's all right.

You're okay.

You're back.

We tried to find
you before you left.

Lily said you went
off with Carmichael.

I just wanna take a bath.

Can you leave me alone please?

Did you?

Go off with Carmichael?

I just wanna take a bath.

What
happened to your hand?

Same thing that happened
to the rest of me.

I told you.

I told you not to
leave my sight.

Lily told me she loved me.

Do you believe that shit?

No.

Me neither.

You're the only one
that's ever loved me.

And I'm the only one
that's ever loved you.

That's all there is.

That's all that matters.

I wanna
leave New York.

Leave?

Why?

You really wanna give up
everything we worked for

just because of one bad night?

Did you talk to Joe
and Carmichael last night?

Did you say anything to 'em?

No, I never even met Joe.

Look, I get it was a bad night.

But you act like...

I mean, it's not like
you never had sex before.

Just forget about it.

Put it out of your mind.

It sucked, it's over, move on.

Josie!

Come here.

There you are.

Where have you
been, sleepy head?

Nowhere.

I was wondering
when you'd be up.

Josie, come here.

Let me see you.

What's this?

I just cut it on a can.

It was stupid.

Well, it looks infected.

You should see a doctor.

Josie's fine,
aren't you, Josie?

Yeah.

There's a first aid
kit in my bathroom.

Would you get it, Jack?

And the bruises?

Did Jack do it?

No.

Look, I know what
he can be like.

Okay, I know how he can get.

Yeah, but unlike you,

I don't get off on it.

You're smarter
than that, Josie.

You got your wish.

Hmm?

Why, what's happening?

She said she
decided when she was away.

Wants us out by Friday.

You always hated
her, didn't you?

I always hated her too.

From the moment I saw her.

I have a treat.

If we don't all set off
with hangovers tomorrow,

I'll consider my life a failure.

What should we drink to?

You tell me.

To the future.

And then the cab
driver charged me

some absurd amount of money

and she paid for it.

I mean, the girl's
a complete disaster.

- She even...
- Would you two

shut the fuck up?

So very grouchy.

I said shut the fuck up!

Fuck you both.

Oh, darling, you already have.

I'm right, aren't I?

Oh, I knew it.

I knew it!

Carmichael had his suspicions

and I mean, I knew,
of course I knew,

but I didn't know!

Ooh, I'm, I'm not judging.

It's kind of romantic.

I mean, maybe a little sick,

but who isn't
a little sick sometimes?

Were you kids when you started?

Oh my God.

It's like one of
those British novels

and the kids are always
fucking each other.

I think I need to
go to the doctor.

Lily Carter?

Let's get you comfortable.

Hey, I gotta go and take
care of some things, okay?

I'll be by later.

Go to sleep.

Dr. Gable, Dr. Gable.

Chris Corda, 6-3-1-9.

Chris Corda, 6-3-1-9.

Dr. Hinkle.

We have to take the bus.

Every other way leaves a trail.

I don't wanna leave
a trail, okay?

We gotta slip away.

What do you think?

Have you been taking
too many of Lily's pills?

No, no, no, no,
no, not too many.

I just need to stay
awake and think.

We're gonna get
away with it, Josie.

We are.

You and me.

You and me.

Okay.

Okay, yeah, okay.

Okay.

Dr. Stanley Gilbert,

please call Emergency.

I see the florist came.

Has the phone been
doing that a lot?

Afraid so.

I talked to your old
friend Carmichael.

I told him she headed
up to Maine last minute.

And then I stopped answering it.

Her parents left a
message on the machine.

That's not good.

Oh we'll, it's not bad.

I mean, her parents
live in Florida.

I mean, it'll be weeks
before they figure out

she's not in Maine.

I got some wine.

I figured we'd go all
out, one last night

before we hit the road.

And then what?

And then we find
some other Lily.

You.

You never trust me.

We have this
conversation every time.

You always have to know

where we're going
and what we're doing.

But haven't we always come
out all right in the end?

We're not at the
end of this yet, Jack.

Smaller sister.

You're always so serious.

We're free as birds.

With Lily's ATM card
we have all the money

we could possibly want.

That ATM card

is traceable, Jack, okay?

We might as well carry her body

to the police station and
tell them what we did.

Mmm hmm hmm hmm.

All right, first of all,

it's not what we did.

It's what I did.

And second of all,

I did it for you.

I told Lily, if she wanted to
watch me fuck another girl,

I'd do it but not you.

Why not?

Because we belong
to each other in a way

that nobody else
will ever understand

and I refuse to share that.

I refuse to share you.

Do you know how lucky we
are to have each other?

We'll always be together.

Always.

Well then, I better
start cooking then.

Why don't you go
turn on some music?

Coming right up.

God, I hate all this white.

When you and I
get our own place,

let's not have any white
in it at all, okay?

None.

Not even white sheets.

You still feeling bad?

Yeah.

I'm sick.

Oh, what's wrong?

Everything.

My heart is racing.

Maybe you took too
many of Lily's pills.

Food musta been bad.

I can hardly see.

Food poisoning will only
last till the morning.

Hmm?

You think I'll live?

Doubtful.

Josie.

Hey.

When is Raeburn coming home?

We're in New York, Jack.

We're at Lily's.

Is she here?

Lily's dead.

Josie.

I'm here.

Hey, I'm here.

Knew it was you.

Don't leave me.

I won't.

I won't.

It's gonna be okay.

We'll go somewhere new,

just the two of us.

Like a private island.

And we'll be happy.

You and me.

I love you.

I love you so much.

Hey.

Oh, oh.

Oh.
