Gaslit (2019) - full transcript

Olivia struggles to sort out truth from fiction after her daughter mysteriously vanishes during a camping trip with the new neighbors.

(suspenseful music)

(birds tweet)

(breaths heavily)

(dramatic music)

- that everything?

- I think so.

Olivia, let's just
talk about this.

- There's nothing left to say.

Don't make this harder
than it already is.

- You can't just kick
me out of my own house.

- I can.



And I am.

- This is all mine!

Okay, I made this
family what it is.

You wouldn't have that gallery

if I hadn't bought it for you.

And let's not pretend
you didn't plan this,

you and that damn artist.

- Don't try to
make this my fault.

You cheated.

- You're leaving?

- I don't want to
sweetie, but yes.

I have to go.

- But why, what happened?

- Honey, your father



and I

have decided to get a divorce.

- No, mom you can't do that,
you can't make him do that

that's not fair, dad.
Dad you can't go.

- It's what's best
for all of us.

- Where are you going?
Can I come see you?

- We'll see.
- Of course.

Wait, what do you
mean we'll see?

She's my daughter olivia
of course she can come,

and if you think you can take
my money and my daughter,

you got another thing coming.

- Let's talk about
this another time.

- I'll be at the cabin I'm
only a phone call away.

- No (sobbing) you can't go.

- I'm sorry, I love you.

- I love you.

- It's going to be okay.

- Wow.

Your shading technique
has really improved.

Jack would be impressed,

you been working on it?

Honey, I know this is hard,

but you need to trust
us, it's for the best.

- You.

- What?

- Trust you.

You made dad leave,
he didn't want to go.

- Sweetie, it's
going to get better.

- Someone's here.

- Hey

(quiet chatter)

- I'm so sorry.

(suspenseful music)

- your father.

(breaths heavily)

(door squeaks)

- [olivia] we're not open yet.

- I'm back.

- Jack.

- Yeah, I just got into town,
I thought I'd stop by and...

- It's been...

- I know, I fell off the
radar there for a bit, but

I just kind of needed
some time away, you know?

But, I'm back now,

for good, so.

So, how are things?
How's hannah?

(soft music)

- he was on his way to the
cabin, drove off the road.

Police said he died instantly.

I feel awful saying this,

but I don't know
how I feel about it.

- What do you mean?

- Lain and I were,

he was leaving me.

I was really angry with
him and now he's gone.

- How's hannah handling this?

- She blames me for everything,

lain leaving, the accident

her father did the same thing

everything was always my fault.

I don't know, maybe
hannah's right.

- No, no, don't talk like that.

She'll come around.

- She doesn't leave the house,

I barely see her.

- Maybe tell her I'm back,

maybe she'll come and see me.

- Sure.

Thanks.

Appreciate it.

(sighs)

where are you staying?

- Do you still have
that studio old banger

(laughs)

- yes.

Ah, come on.

- Wasn't sure how
that was going to go.

Yeah.

It's just like I remember.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- You can move in
whenever you're ready.

- Ah.

Thanks olivia.

You know, you should
have hannah come by,

maybe do a lesson with me.

Learning to express your
emotions through painting,

could be therapeutic for her.

You know, when I
had my hard times

the studio work is really
what got me through it.

Just...

- Okay,

thank you.

I'll give you a call and
we'll set something up.

- You know, I've got
a couple of pieces

that I've been working on.

I don't know if you
have, like room but...

- Yeah.

I would be honored
to show your work.

- Yeah?
- You were the first person

to believe in this place, so.

- Thank you.

(laughs)

you're saving me again.

- Sure.

- Yeah.

- Hi there.

Hi.

- Hi.

- You must be our new neighbor.

- Yeah, hi.

Olivia.

- Aw, nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you too.

Oh my gosh.

- I'm mary.

- Hi mary.

Sorry about that.

- Don't worry about it.

It's just some old junk.

- Welcome to the neighborhood.

- Thank you.

- Where are you guys from?

- Seattle.

- Oh, wow.

Us too,

just a few months ago.

- Wow.

Well this is such
a beautiful town.

A really nice change
for my daughter and I.

Oh, and here she is.

Olivia?
- Yes.

- This is my daughter sydney.

- Hi, I have a daughter
about your age, hannah.

- Oh, that's so nice.

Isn't it syd?

We'd love to meet her.

- Mom.

- She's actually not
feeling so well, so.

- Aw, that's too bad,

well soon then.

- Okay.

- Mom, I can't get
in the back door.

- Oh, there's a key
under the mat sweetie.

Okay?

- Well, I better
go check on hannah,

but good to meet you.

- Okay, well it was nice
meeting you (laughs)

- okay.

- You'll have to come over
for coffee when we're settled.

- Sounds good

(laughs)

- okay.

Bye
- bye.

(knock on door)

- how you doing?

What are you looking at?

- It's the article

about dad's crash.

- (sighs) you printed it, huh?

- Yeah.

I just wanted
something physical.

To hold.

Make it real.

Do you think there's
any possibility

that it wasn't dad
that they found?

I mean, they couldn't
say for sure.

- It was him.

And I understand.

Doesn't feel real to me either.

- I just don't
want it to be true.

(sighs)

- it's going to take
some time, honey.

Let's work all
these feelings out,

talking with lisa will help.

Okay, you can't keep missing
your appointments with her.

Guess who I ran into
at the gallery today.

Jack.

- He's back?

- He is.

And he mentioned doing
a lesson with you again.

Honey, you can't stay
in your room forever.

And it might be
really nice to get out

and focus on your
art for a while.

He's free tomorrow.

- I'd rather see jack
than go to lisa again.

(laughs)

- I love you.

More than anything.

It's going to be okay, okay?

It's going to be okay.

(piano music)

how's it going?

- It's going.

(camera click)

- what's that for?

- I like to track my progress.

(door closes)

- hi, I'm looking for olivia.

- That's me, you
must be the caterer?

- Yeah, I'm gretchen,

I just wanted to give
you your invoice.

Sorry for interrupting.

- No worries, thanks for being
flexible with opening day.

- That's no problem, really.

Wow, this is a great space.

I can't believe they
let you take it over,

you must be so excited.

- Thanks.

- If you have any questions

you can reach me at
that number there, so.

Sorry again for interrupting.

I'll see you in a couple weeks.

- Okay, thanks.

- Bye
- bye.

(sighs)

I like it.

I need to get to
the store, okay?

You all right to wait for jack?

- You're leaving?

- He'll be here any minute.

I'll see you tonight, okay?

- Hey neighbor.

Hi.

- Hey.

- You still up for that coffee?

- Sure, come over,

I will brew us some.

- I would absolutely die if
I didn't have my caffeine

(laughs)

so, what brought you and
hannah here from seattle?

- My husband.

- Oh, you're married?

I thought you were single
and bitter like me.

- Widowed, actually.

He just passed.

- Ah, I am so sorry.

- It's okay, you didn't know.

- Do you mind if I
ask what happened?

- A car accident.

We moved here to
try to fix things,

didn't work.

- What happened?

I'm sorry, it's
none of my business.

- It's okay.

He was seeing this
other woman in seattle,

so we came here to get away.

And it actually
worked for a while,

and then I got sucked
into the gallery

and he got jealous of this
artist I was working with

and accused me of cheating.

Made up this whole crazy story,

and then shared
with me that he was

still seeing this other woman.

(sighs)

- olivia, that's terrible.

- So...

I made him leave

and he was on his way to our
cabin and veered off the road.

(sighs)

- wow.

You've been through so much.

- I'm worried about hannah,

because today's the first day

she's left the house since
this has all happened.

- Erm
- sorry.

- No, it's okay.

- I'm so sorry
- it's okay, erm

well you know, sydney and I
we're going camping this weekend

you and hannah
should go with us.

Give you a chance to
get away for a while

take in the air.

- That's really sweet of
you to offer, thank you

but my gallery is
opening in two weeks,

and so I just I
don't have the time.

- What about hannah?

Sydney could use a friend.

- That's really sweet of you,

but I highly doubt
she's ready for that.

- Okay, well

can't hurt to ask her, right?

(laughs)

- I'll check with her, thank you

I'll let you know.

- Okay,

sounds good.

(laughs)

(clock ticks)

(sighs)

- hey,

how was it?

- I didn't go.

- What?

What do you mean?

- I was going to,

but I realized
that I wasn't ready

and so I left before
jack got there.

- Where have you been
for the last two hours?

- Next door.

- Next door?

- Yeah. I was with
that girl sydney

she said she met you earlier.

- Yeah.

- Her dad died last year

and we started talking

and it was just really nice
having someone who understands.

Surprised you even care because
you're the reason dad left.

- That's not fair.

(sighs)

you know I think it's great
that you've made a new friend

and you have someone to talk to

but you should have let me know

and we should have
let jack know.

- Sorry.

So, sydney and her mom
invited me camping.

- You don't have to go.

- Can I go?

- You want to.

- Well you said I had to
get out of the house, right?

- I don't know.

They just moved here,
we barely know them.

- Yeah, but sydney's
the only friend

I have made since we moved here.

And I can't be alone
in my room, so.

- Okay.

But you need to promise me
you're going to be very careful.

- Yeah, yeah okay.

- Hey, will you send me the
picture you took of that?

- Um, yeah.
- Please?

- Sure.

- Thank you, it's beautiful.

- Hey, mom.

I'm leaving.

- You have everything?

- Yeah.

- Your cellphone?

- Yes.

- Okay.

I love you.

Be safe.

- Okay.

(dramatic orchestral music)

- good morning.

- Morning.

Does this look straight to you?

- Yes, it's perfectly straight.

- All right.

- But it's upside down.

(jack sighs)

- what?

- Why are you hanging paintings?

- Well, I just noticed

that you could use some
help around here, so.

- And you're procrastinating
on your own work.

- No.

No, I picked up a brush.

I just felt like
a total fraud, so.

Hey, what happened yesterday?

Is hannah okay?

- Yeah, I'm sorry about that.

She's fine.

She's just not herself
since everything, so.

I need to check
on her, actually.

Excuse me.
- Sure.

(olivia sighs)

(phone rings)

- [voice on phone] you have
reached the voice mailbox of...

(olivia sighs)

- anything?

- No, she's at that
age where I can't tell

if she's ignoring me
or there's no signal.

(sighs)

I was thinking, the
piece you painted

for me might be
perfect for the show,

not to sell,
obviously, but just...

- yeah, I don't have it.

- Where is it?

- I sold it, you know.

There's too many bad memories.

- I get it.

It's probably a good thing.

- Yeah, probably, so.

You want to help me
put this right side up?

- Yes.

- 'cause I don't
know what I'm doing.

(olivia sighs)

(phone whirs)

- come on, hannah.

Hey, hannah, honey, hope
you've had a great time.

Can't wait to see you
when you get home today.

Love you.

(car whirs)

hey, how was the trip?

- Hey.

- I didn't know you smoke.

- Oh, no, I don't.

I found it in the car.

My husband's.

But the trip was
really, really nice.

It was really nice to get away.

- That's great to hear.

Where's hannah?

Is she bringing
stuff inside, or?

- Hannah?

- Yeah, hannah, my daughter.

She went camping with you.

- Olivia, hannah
didn't go with us.

(eerie electronic music)

- what do you mean?

- It was just sydney and I.

- I watched her
get into your car.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, are
you sure it was my car?

- I don't know, she told
me, she told me she was...

- olivia, I'm sorry, but
hannah did not come with us.

- But you invited her.

Both of you invited her, right?

- Well, I asked you if you
thought she would like to go,

but I never heard anything
back from you, so...

- but then she came home,

and she told me that
sydney invited her.

You invited her, right?

- No.

- Sydney, did you invite her?
- No, it's okay, sweetie.

- [olivia] sydney, come on.

- It's okay, just
unload the car.

I'm gonna go with olivia
back to her house, okay?

- I don't understand.

She said she was going with you.

I saw her get into your car.

- Olivia, sydney did not
invite hannah to go with us.

She did not get in our car.

- But she did.

Hannah went and met with sydney.

Remember the day we had coffee.

- The day we had coffee.

- [olivia] yes.

- Well, that day, sydney was
on the plane back to seattle

for her best friend's birthday.

- Are you sure?

- I dropped her off myself.

I mean, is there someone else
she would spend time with?

A friend?

A boy maybe?

- She doesn't know
anyone else here.

Except jack.

I'll be back.

(suspenseful orchestral music)

- where are you going?

- The gallery.

Where's hannah?

- Olivia.

- She's not here?

- No, no, I haven't seen her.

Why? What's going on?

- She didn't come
back from camping.

- Wait, what?

- Look, you are the only
other person she knows here.

Are you sure she didn't stop by?

- Yeah, no, no, I
mean, she's not here.

Hey, why?

Olivia, what's going on?

Hey.

- Hannah.

Hannah.

- Olivia, hey, hey,
she's not here.

- Jack, where is my daughter?

- I don't know.

What's going on?

- She went camping
with the neighbors,

then she never came back.

They said they never met her.

- Should we call the police?

- I don't know, I
don't know what to do.

- Okay, look, hey, calm down.

You know what, we're gonna
go talk to the neighbors,

and we're gonna make them
tell us what happened,

what really happened,
and if it doesn't work,

then we're gonna call
the police, okay?

- [olivia] okay.

- Okay, all right, you
want me to come with you?

- No, no, she might show up.

If she does...

- yeah, I'll call
you right away.

Hey.

(dark electronic music)

(olivia knocks on door)

(door squeaks)

- olivia, what are
you doing here?

How did you get in my house?

- Your door was unlocked.

- I know I locked that door.

- Mom, is everything okay?

- It's okay, olivia popped in.

- Hey, did hannah
ever mention anything

about a friend, or a boy maybe?

- Olivia, sydney has
never met hannah.

- Yes, she has.

- No, I'm sorry,
I've never met her.

- Yes, yes, you have.

You had a conversation with her.

You told her about how
your father had passed,

and you invited
her to go camping.

- Olivia, would
you like some tea?

- You went camping together.

You went camping
with my daughter.

You need to tell me right
now, where is my daughter?

- Is everything okay?

- Everything is fine.

Just go to your room.

Okay, olivia, you told
me you had a daughter,

and I did invite you both
camping with us, okay?

But again, the only person

that I ever talked to is you.

Look, I know you've
been through a lot.

It's okay.

Anyone in your position
would be confused.

- It's impossible.

- Maybe you should sit down.

- Okay.

(eerie electronic music)

you have to be lying.

- Why would I lie?

- You went with my daughter,
you came back, she didn't.

You are lying.

- You poor thing.

I'm so sorry, olivia.

- You are lying to me.

- Okay.

- I'm calling the police.

Detective bruce chambers,
it's an emergency.

(bruce knocks on door)

thank god you're here.

- Hey, I got here
as soon as I could.

What's going on?

- Hannah's missing, and
I don't know what to do.

- Hey, olivia, why
don't we have a seat?

Why don't you walk me
through everything?

- Okay, it started

when our new neighbors
moved in next door.

Aren't you supposed to
be writing this down?

- How long ago was that?

- Just a few days ago,

and they invited
us to go camping.

I said I couldn't go
because of the gallery.

They asked if hannah could go.

I wasn't sure, but I said yes.

Hannah went.

- And then what happened?

- And then I saw, the
very next morning,

I saw hannah get into
mary's fully packed car

and drive off to the mountains.

- And mary's the mom?

- Yeah.

- Do you think she's
home right now?

- I don't know, she should be.

- All right, why
don't you sit tight?

I'm gonna go see if
I can talk to her.

- Okay.

(Ticks)

(door opens)

what'd she say?

- She hasn't seen hannah.

- She's lying, I know it.

- Look, she's got
no reason to lie.

- What are you talking about?

Of course she's lying.

- Come with me, please.

- God.

- Here, why don't
you grab your coat?

(eerie orchestral music)

it's a cold one out there.

- It's fine.

- Go ahead.

- Why aren't we going
to the police station?

- Just trust me, okay?

- Trust you?

What do you mean?

Take me to the
police station now.

- Look, olivia, there's
somebody that I want you to see.

If you want to go to the
police station after,

I'll take you, but please,
for me, just come inside.

- Olivia, hi.

- Hi.

Yeah, we should be
at the police station

filling out a missing
persons report.

- I'll give you some time.

- Okay, here, yeah?

Yeah?

Why don't you put
on your sweater?

It gets a little cold in here.

- I'm fine, thanks.

- All right, well, okay.

Well, it's good
to have you back.

I was worried last week,

when you didn't make
your appointment.

(eerie orchestral music)

- what appointment?

- Your therapy appointment.

- I didn't have an appointment.

Hannah did.

What is going on here?

- Why don't you tell me
how this all started?

- I can't tell the
story one more time.

I need to find my daughter.

- Olivia, please,
just calm down.

- I don't want to calm down.

My daughter is missing and
no one is helping me, no one.

- Olivia, hannah isn't missing.

Hannah's dead.

- What are you talking about?

- Hannah died with
layne in the accident.

They were both killed on impact.

- Why would you say
something so awful?

- I know this is very
difficult to hear and accept,

but the more clear I can be,

the more shocking to
your system it will be,

and that is what we need to do.

We need to shock you
back into reality.

- No, we don't.

She's alive.

I saw her just a few days ago.

I saw her.

- I know it seems real to you,

but you've been experiencing
symptoms of disassociation.

We've been working through that,

but I can see we've
had a setback.

- Bruce saw her.

She was with me the day
he told me about layne.

Bruce saw her.

- Olivia, please.

Olivia.

- Bruce, tell her, tell her
you know hannah's still alive.

Please tell her, please
tell her you saw her.

You saw her, and you know,

you know hannah's alive.

She's still alive, she's...

- olivia, I am so sorry.

- No, no, no, I
don't believe you.

No.

- [bruce] hannah is gone.

- No!

No.

- [lisa] olivia, I'm
so sorry, olivia.

- Stop.

No.

No.

No, no, no.

- It's okay.

- Olivia?

Look, olivia, are you okay?

- I'm sorry, olivia
needs to rest right now.

Lisa's gonna stay with
you for a while, okay?

She's gonna make sure
you're all right.

If you need anything,
please call me.

- I got her, thanks.

(thermostat beeps)

I'm gonna make you some tea.

(burner clicks)

(stove hisses)

(water pours)

(olivia sighs)

- I don't believe she's gone.

(sniffs)

- here, drink this.

It'll warm you up, okay?

Is it warm?

- Yeah.

- Oh, no, that's ice cold.

I'm gonna turn the
kettle back on.

(burner clicks)

- what is happening to me?

- This is gonna be
difficult to hear.

Sometimes, when people die,

their loved ones go
into major depressions,

complicated with grief,
and in rare cases,

denial leads to
dissociations, delusions.

(kettle hisses)

(soft electronic music)

you know, about a week ago,

you really started
to perk up a bit.

You seemed to come out
of this funk, but then...

- then?

Then what?

- You started talking
about hannah a lot,

but in the present tense
like she was still alive.

- She is.

- See, that is what worried us.

- She's here.

- Then you missed
your appointment.

- I told you about
hannah and sydney.

Yes.
- Yes.

- Yes.

- Yes, sydney, that
is when I realized

you may be in a fugue state,

characterized by
reversible amnesia,

motivated by prolonged grief,

and then you called to
report hannah missing,

and I knew you were in trouble.

- [olivia] then bruce came over.

- Brought you directly to me.

(olivia sighs)

do you remember all this?

(olivia sniffs)

do you remember any of this?

- I remember everything I
told you just like I told you.

- Mm-hm.

- Yeah.

Layne was in a car accident,

and hannah went camping
with the neighbors.

Hannah went camping with
the neighbors, right?

Right?

Hannah went camping
with the neighbors.

- I'm so sorry, olivia.

I should've come over sooner.

(olivia sobs)

we should've done something
as soon as we sensed trouble.

(hannah sobs)

right now, you just
need to rest, okay?

Yeah.

- No.

(door opens)

(metal rattles)

(dishes rattle)

(mary hums)

mary.
- Oh.

- What are you doing here?
(mary laughs)

- I didn't know you were awake.

I thought I'd come over and
make you something to eat.

- How'd you get in?

- Your friend lisa let me in.

She stayed over last night.

- Oh.

- [mary] yeah.

- I don't remember
going to sleep.

- Yeah, you must've been tired.

- Well, this is nice of you.

- Of course, it's
the least I can do.

- Is sydney gonna join us?

- I don't think
that's a good idea.

- Don't want her hanging
out with the crazy lady.

- I'm sorry, olivia.

I feel partially
responsible for all of this.

- You didn't know.

I still don't know.

I guess I knew at one point,

but seeing sydney
triggered off this episode,

they're calling it, so.

But not your fault.

- Yeah.

Still feel bad.

Yeah.

Hm.

- I just can't
believe she's gone.

(mary sighs)

- I can't even imagine
what you're going through.

(eerie electronic music)

- paintings.

- What?

- There's two paintings.

Where's my phone?

- [mary] olivia, what's going...

- hannah took a picture.

She took a picture
at the gallery.

She sent it to me.

Where is it?

(keys rattle)

I don't understand.

- I know, I know.

I'm so sorry.

I think it's just
gonna take some time.

I'm gonna check on sydney,

and I'll be right back after
and stay here with you.

- You've done enough.

- No, it's not a
problem, really.

- Go home.

Be with your daughter.

- Are you sure?

- Yes.

- Okay.

- Mary.

Thank you.

- Of course.

You have a package.

Just let me know if
you need anything.

- Thank you.

(soft electronic music)

(car starts)

(engine revs)

- olivia.

What's going on?

- They're telling me she's dead.

The urns came.

One for layne, one for hannah.

- Come in.

- [man] who told you this?

- Bruce and lisa.

- Those are layne's
friends, right?

- More like family.

Layne and bruce
were like brothers.

Layne used to look out
for bruce, growing up.

- So bruce must've
been devastated when

he found out that
layne was dead.

- He was upset, but I don't
know about devastated.

- Really?

That doesn't make
a lot of sense.

- It doesn't, does it?

- Tell me everything
that bruce and lisa said.

- It started when I
didn't believe mary,

and I called bruce to
report hannah missing.

Bruce chambers.

- I mean, do you believe it,

that hannah's dead?

- I don't know.

I don't remember anything
they're telling me.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't be
dumping all of this on you.

- No, no, hey, stop that.

I'm here for you, I
wanna be here for you,

I'm just sorry the way

things turned out for everybody.

- It's all layne's fault.

He never believed me.

You know, he even made up
some crazy fantasy about us.

- I never wanted to
cause any trouble.

- Well, there was trouble
before you came along.

He was cheating on me.

- There ever a deliver today?

- Yep, I confirmed
with the company

that left 'em on the porch.

Hey, how long do you
think it's gonna take

for her to accept things?

- Don't know, it's hard to say.

If she's a fighter, then
something like this, (mumbles)

- lisa, we owe it to layne
to walk her through this.

We have to stay strong,

for everyone.

Okay?

- I know.

- We're gonna drop these off.

I'll come back later.

- Layne was cheating?

- It's why we moved here.

To try to repair
our relationship.

Thought it'd be helpful if

he was near his
childhood friends.

Even though he was
the one who cheated.

Do you know he was
jealous of our friendship?

- Actually I did.

I think that might be my fault.

- What do you mean?

We're friends. We've
always been friends.

- Olivia, there's something
I haven't told you.

I started having
feelings for you,

more than friends, I think
layne could tell that.

- You never said anything.

- You had hannah.
You were married.

I was trying to hide it.
I didn't wanna interfere.

- I don't know what to say.

- I'm sorry, this
is probably not,

this is not what you want to

be talking about right now.

I just thought you
were being honest,

I thought I'd come clean.

- Is it why you left town?

(dramatic music plays)

- yeah.

- (laughs) we weren't happy.

- Come on, you guys
were the perfect couple.

You had hannah, you
had a great house,

you had a new business,

you had a husband who could

give you anything
that you wanted.

- Yeah, it might've
looked like that

on the outside,
but we were a mess.

It was a mess.

- You guys were growing apart.

I mean, it would've
gotten better

if the accident never happened.

- No, he wanted to
keep me to himself.

He wanted to cheat on
me and keep it a secret.

The more time you
and I spent together,

the crazier he got.

He didn't want me
but he didn't want

anyone else to have me either.

- [mary] bruce?

Can I help you?

- Hey. Do you know
where olivia is?

- She left about an hour ago.

- What was her conversation
like this morning?

- She's processing, but I think

she's starting to come around.

- Do you think
she's gonna be okay?

- I think so. I mean,
she'll come back

when she's ready
to face the truth.

- When she does, can you
give her this envelope?

Lisa gathered a bunch of
documentation to help her

get a handle on everything
that's happening.

- Uh huh. I'd love to.

- [bruce] thanks.

- When did all this happen?

- The day he died.

I told him he had to
leave the day he died.

- So this guy has everything
that anyone could ever want

and he was just gonna
walk away from that?

- Yep.

He never broke it off
with the other woman.

Traveled all the time. I
thought it was for work.

I believed him. So stupid.

- No. Hey, hey. He was
your husband, okay?

You trusted him.
He was a bastard.

- Yeah he was. (laughs)
he was a bastard.

- Who's shawni?

- I don't know. I never met her.

- So layne was leaving
you and then he ended up

dead the very same day?

- It doesn't make
any sense does it?

- No it doesn't.

- Olivia, what if you're right?

What if hannah is still alive?

Okay, did anybody see hannah
after layne's accident?

Anybody else?

- She never left her room. I
mean, she never went anywhere.

Except here.

She came here.

- Whoa, where are you going?

What are you looking for?

- Proof.

(mysterious music)

(mysterious music)

(mysterious music)

gretchen!

-, you scared me.

- I'm so sorry. Your office
said I could find you here.

It's important.

- Is everything okay? Did
the opening move again?

- No it's more
serious than that.

- What's goin' on?

- The other day when you came to

the gallery with your invoice,

do you remember
seeing my daughter?

- You daughter?

- Hannah.

- Look, I'm sorry. I
don't really remember.

- Please. This is
important. Look again.

- Yes.

- Yes!

- Yes, I remember there
being a girl there with you.

I think that was her.

- Okay, can you tell the police?

- The police?

- She's missing. I need
you to tell the police

that you saw her that day.

- Can I just call them later?

I have a bunch of
prep I need to do.

- No! This is life or death.

It has to be in person.
Can you please tell them?

- Look, I can come with
you after I get this

stuff on cold storage
back at the kitchen.

Just give me 45 minutes or so.

- Oh my gosh.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

Bruce, I need you to come to
my house as soon as possible.

I'll explain when I see you.

- (screams)

(knock at the door)

- oh, thank god.

- I came as soon as I
could. What's going on?

- Someone remembered
seeing hannah.

- What do you mean?

- The caterer from
the gallery opening.

She was there when
hannah was there.

She remembers seeing her.

- Where is she now?

- She'll be here any minute.

No.

- What is it?

- No.

- Olivia. What's happening?

- I don't understand. She said
she remembered seeing hannah.

- Olivia, why don't
we have a seat?

- No, no, no. I don't know
why she's not answering.

- You know what? I think we
need to get back to lisa.

- No!

(quietly) I'm sorry.

You're right.

I just need rest. That's
all I need. I need rest.

- Okay.

At least put this on.
The last thing we need

is for you to get
sick, catch a cold.

So this lady, the caterer.

- It didn't happen.
She never saw hannah.

I was wrong.

- Olivia, you can trust me.

- I'm fine. I promise.
I'm fine, you can go.

You can go.

- Hey.

We've got a situation here.

(knock at the door)

- hi,

- hi.

- Bruce came by, are you okay?

- I don't know. I don't know.

- Oh, you poor thing.

- Thank you for
being so supportive.

- Of course.

Bruce gave this to me.

- What is it?

- I don't know. He said
"just some information that"

"should confirm things for you."

- do you think you could be
with me, while I open this?

- Yeah, of course.

- I've seen this before.

Can you?

- Of course.

All the info seems to match up.

- Okay.

- What's that?

- An article.

- About what.

- The accident. It
was in the paper.

- What's wrong?

Okay, olivia please, you
need to take it easy.

- Look at this.

Okay, 2 articles.

In this one they both
died, in this one he died.

- Okay, so the newspaper
changed it, okay?

- There's too many coincidences.

The two paintings,

the articles, the caterer.

It doesn't make any sense.
Bruce made all this up.

- Why would he do that? Why?

- My daughter is still alive.

Jack? Call me back
as soon as you can.

I have proof that
hannah's still alive.

- Olivia, if
hannah's still alive

then who's ashes are those?

- I don't know.

- Didn't you have to
identify the bodies?

- Bruce said that
layne's body was burned

beyond recognition
and I believed him.

- And hannah's?

- No. I mean, I never
identified hannah's body

because hannah is still alive.

- Okay,

if hannah's still alive

then layne is too?

That's the only explanation
that makes sense.

Oh, your freezing.

I'm turning the heat up.

- No. I'm fine.

- Nothing about this is fine.

- I'm fine!

(doorbell ring)

- are you expecting someone?

- No, but I think
I know who that is.

Follow my lead.

Hi. Lisa, bruce, what
are you doing here?

- Good afternoon olivia.

We just came to
assess your progress.

- [bruce] you doing okay?

- You look diaphoretic.

- Sweaty. She means sweaty.

- I'm hanging in there. You
know, taking it hour by hour.

- That's good to hear olivia.

- Did you get the
envelope I left with mary?

- I did, and it helped
clear up a lot of confusion.

- Olivia.

- It's fine. Thank you.

- Well that is
great news olivia,

and it's just unfortunate

you've had to go
through all this, it is.

So please, make an
appointment with me soon.

You need consistent
medical support.

- Let us know how we can help.

We both care about you so much,

we just want to make
sure you get better.

- Thank you both so much.

Okay, I'll check in soon.

Thanks.

- Do you think he believed you?

- I don't know.
It's hard to tell.

- What now?

- I'm going to save my daughter.

- But you don't
know where she is.

- There's only one place I
haven't been since layne died.

- The cabin?
- The cabin.

- Olivia wait.

- I am done waiting.

- Okay, well you
shouldn't go alone.

Let me drive you.

- It could be dangerous

- we'll be safer together.

- Where are you going?

Get in.

It's okay sweetie. We're
gonna go for a little ride.

Nothing to be concerned about.

- Mom,
- come on! Let's go!

- I'll be right back. I promise.

- What took you so long?

- [hannah] couldn't
find my jacket.

- You ready?

- Mm-hm

- (squeals)

- [hannah] I can't
believe you're alive.

- I still can't
believe it myself.

- Just don't understand
why we have to hide it.

- Well we can't call your
mom just yet, banana.

- Yeah, but she thinks
your dead. It's cruel.

- I know. It's just
too big of a shock

for her right now. All right?

- Yeah, but, I mean she's
gonna find out eventually

and she's gonna be really...

- trust me.

I know your mom.

I'm sorry.

- I can't believe I'm
just now getting this.

It was so obvious.

- What was obvious?

- Moving to his hometown
to save our marriage.

He had this planned all along,

I mean he knew bruce
would do anything for him.

- Because layne was
like his big brother?

- What?

- Are they friends or something?

- That's not what you said.

You just said,

"because layne was
like his big brother".

- Okay.

- Why didn't you come home?

Why did you just stay up here

and just let us think
that you were dead?

- Cause I didn't know,
and after the accident

I didn't remember you
or your mom at all.

I just remember trying
to get to the cabin

and when I found
it, I stayed there.

- But you remember me now?

- Only after I
saw you wandering,

looking all alone
near the campsites.

- It was so weird.

It was like all of a sudden,

mary and sydney were just gone.

- Oh, shh. It's okay,
it's okay. (kisses)

- wait but, if you're here,

then who'd they
find in your car?

- Hm?

- Well bruce said
they found a body

and if it wasn't you then...

- yeah, yeah. Well I
picked up a hitchhiker.

Guess he didn't survive.

- What about your...

- listen, I know you
have a lot of questions,

but the important thing
is that we're safe.

I'm safe.

- Yeah. Yeah. I just I
can't believe it's real.

I mean, you're alive.

You let us think you were dead.

- Well how did you know that?

- [mary] know what?

- That layne was
like his big brother?

- Because you told me.

- No.

- You said that bruce
didn't have a dad,

and his mom was abusive so

layne took him under his wing.

- I never told you that.

- Oh. Maybe it was bruce then.

- You've been talking to bruce?

- Yes. He knows I've
been taking care of you.

- (sighs)

- hey, so,

I mean, I know that

you and mom are separating but,

things can be
different now right?

I mean, near death
experiences change people.

- Honey, I wouldn't
get my hopes up.

- Yeah, but when she
finds out you're alive

she's gonna be so happy.

And then, she'll forget
about the divorce,

and then we can be a family.

- Hi.

- [sydney] I need your help.

- Uh, have we met before?

- No, but I've heard about you.

I'm sydney. I live
next door to olivia?

I think something really
bad's about to happen

and I don't know what to do.

- Yeah, come on in.

- Ooh, so cold.

- Why are you
turning the heat on?

- Because it's cold.

- So you do know hannah?

- She came camping with us.

- So she's alive, which
means olivia's right.

Why would you lie about this?

- My mom told me I had to.

- Why are we stopping?

- Give me a second. I
need to call sydney,

to make sure she's okay.

- You can't do that in the car?

- I'll be back.

(suspenseful music)

- wait a minute, so your mom,
this was all of her idea?

- I don't know, she doesn't
talk to me most of the time.

She's too worried
about her love life

and taking camping trips so
she can sneak to the cabin.

- The cabin?

Do you mean olivia's cabin?

- They're headed there now.

I don't know what's going
to happen when olivia

finds out that my
mom lied to her.

- Oh my god, we gotta
call the police.

- We can't, bruce
helped cover it up.

- Well then we need to make sure

that bruce doesn't find out.

- [layne] tell me about
your new neighbors.

What were their names?

- Mary and sydney?

- Yeah, you like them?

- I guess, sydney was cool.

(phone ringing)

I thought you lost your phone.

- I'll be right back, sit tight.

Hello?
- Hey, she knows.

- How, your sis
trick didn't work?

- She figured it out, layne.

- All right, just stop
her, tell her we're dead.

- It's too late for that.

We don't have a choice anymore.

- All right, mary,
just, make it quick.

- I'll take care of it.

Olivia, you shouldn't be
out here in this cold.

(birds chirping)

- hey banana.

- What's going on?

- Listen, um...

Something's happened.

Your mom, she was
in an accident.

She was on her way here, and...

- No, no, you're lying.
- Hannah.

- No, no, all of this
is a lie, where is she?

- Hannah!
- Where is she?

- Hannah, don't you
raise your voice to me!

Hey, hey get back here!

Get back here!

- It is not cold.

You, layne, bruce, lisa?

You all planned this.
- Oh lisa, lisa,

that woman is crazy.

(device beeping)

all of this.

(stove clicking)

(tea kettle whistling)

coffee, tea, the sweaters?

It's all part of the mind
game that lisa cooked up.

There it is, that's the
gold mine, right there.

That's why we did it.

To break you.

- What did you do to me?

- Gas lighting.

(car unlocks)

have you heard of it?

(sighs) anything that
we could tell you,

or do to you to change your
perception of reality, we did.

Lisa called it ambient abuse.

We wanted you to end
up in a nut house,

but he wouldn't take.

He should have just listened
to me from the beginning.

(knife blade sharpening)

now I get to make you disappear.

After the funeral, me and
layne can finally get married.

And hannah?

Don't worry, I'll take
good care of her for you.

(dramatic music)

(olivia screaming)

(breathing heavily)

(tree branches rustling)

- ah!

Hannah?
- Mom?

- Oh my god!

I thought I would
never see you again.

- Dad said you were dead,
but I didn't believe him.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

- We gotta get out of here.
- Okay, okay.

- Stop!
(hannah whimpers)

- go, hannah, go!
(hannah screaming)

don't!

- Hey, no, mary
what are you doing?

What are you doing?

- What do you mean
what am I doing?

We talked about this.

- This wasn't the plan, no
one was supposed to get hurt.

- Do you really think
they're gonna believe you

after all of this?

- I don't expect them to,
but this has gone too far,

it's too messy.

- While you were
hiding in your cabin,

I've been the one
holding this together.

- No, oh my god, no,
no, no, no, please.

- This is the end.
- No, no, no, mommy.

- Put that knife down.

- I don't even know why we
orchestrated this conspiracy.

(hannah crying)

we should have killed
olivia back in seattle.

- What, you think I want this?

I can never forgive
olivia for what she did.

I gave her everything.

And now she parades
around my town

on the arm of some beggin'
artist while I get laughed at,

then she tries to
take my daughter away?

Hannah is not part of this.

Please, let her go.

- Please.

(hannah crying)

- now.

- Please, please,
please, no, no.

- Move away and
you won't get hurt.

- Okay, okay, okay.

(tires screeching)

- sydney called the station,
the guys tipped me off.

- Alright, everything's
under control.

- Layne, this isn't the plan.

We didn't plan
for this variable.

- No violence, layne,
you promised me.

- The situation is untenable.

- Olivia, why couldn't
you just let us go?

Knife!

- Put the knife on the ground!

- Alright bruce!

Let me handle this.

Hey!

- I can't let this go down.

It's a mess, you've
gone too far.

- Bruce, you owe me, you'd
be dead in the gutter

if I hadn't brought
you in, alright?

Hey hey!

Take hannah back
to the cabin, now.

- No, she's mine!

- Put the knife on the ground.

- Get away from me!

- Put it on the ground!

- Take her to the cabin.

- No, come a little closer,

(laughing) I'll make it quick.

You ready to die?

- No no!
(olivia screaming)

(gun firing)

- dad!

Oh my god, daddy?

No, no, no, no.

(hannah crying)

- we're safe.
- Mommy.

- It's okay, we're okay,
I promise, I promise.

I promise.

I promise.

(sad music)

how are you feeling?

- I don't know, I mean, I
hate dad for what he did,

but I still kind of miss him.

- I understand, and it's okay.

- Thanks, mom.

- Have you heard from sydney?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah,
she made it to seattle,

and I mean she's still pretty
broken up about everything,

but I think her grandparents
are really happy

to have her there.

(camera shutter clicks)

- progress check.
- Yeah, it's comin' along.

- It is.

- Hey, come here.

(camera shutter clicking)

- come here.

- You okay?

- I'm just making
sure you're real.

- I'm real.

You want some lemonade?
- Yes.

- [olivia] so, he
liked this last one.

- [jack] this reminds me of
the north carolina clam bay.

Yeah, I would've not
probably done it this way,

but, to each his own.

- I don't know it's...
- Maybe it's in your eyes

only and so.
- It's sweet.

I think it's sweet.

- How's hannah doing?

- She's good.

We're resting a lot easier now

that lisa and bruce
have been sentenced.

- [jack] hmm.

- It's been hard, but you
know we're getting through it,

day by day.

- Yeah, that's all we can do.

- Yeah.

How are you feeling, now
that the exhibit's over?

- (sighs) I'm feeling
pretty, pretty good.

- You had excellent
reviews, great sales.

- I can't really complain,
you know it went better

than I expected, so.

- But?

- But there is one more thing.

- What?

- Hold that thought.

(soft music)

- what?

You didn't sell it.

- I didn't, no, how could I?

You know I painted this for you

the first time I
couldn't tell you

what it truly meant,
but now I can.

- What do you mean?

- Just, I know you've
been through a lot,

and maybe you're not
really great right now,

but I just wanna let you
know that I'm here for you.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.
- Yeah.

- After everything
we've been through,

I don't know where
I'd be without you.

You're my rock.

Hannah's too.

Thank you.

(both chuckling)
