The Voices (2020) - full transcript

A young woman seeks sanctuary at a remote family home, where she struggles to cope with her sister's paranoid schizophrenia and her own sanity before it tears them apart.

What are you doing?

I'm
capturing the moment.

Do you always have
to film everything?

Stop!

Go on, go on.

You say you love the 4th.

Yeah, and sparklers
and fireworks.

Yeah, and picnics.

- Heck yeah.
- Okay, yeah,

what else?

Oh, kids.



- Nevermind.
- Oh, sorry.

No.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

David?

What are you doing?

Grace, I want to
ask you a question.

Yeah?

Would you please give
me your ring finger

so I may propose to you?

Jesus!

Put on the full armor of God

so you can take a stand
against the devil's schemes.

He's the only one
who can help you.



Okay, okay.

Hello?

Hey?

I was really nervous to show up.

- It's fine, my fault
- I hope

- I don't have a phone.
- it's okay.

Of course.

You're my little sister.

- I didn't have time to tidy up.
- Oh, my God.

I thought you'd redesign
the whole place.

Cat,
this is amazing.

I can't believe this
whole house is yours.

Well you weren't old
enough to get it, so.

No, it's good,
I'm glad you did.

Is that our
Magicland?

I dug it out of storage
before Abby was born.

I missed you.

I'm really sorry I
wasn't there for you

when you needed me.

And here you are
when I need you.

I'm the big sister.

It's my job to protect.

Take a look around.

I'm in the downstairs bedroom.

You're in Mom and
Dad's old room.

I never go in there.

Yeah, okay.

Um, I need to sort out an idea

for my thesis for next semester.

Do you have WiFi?

No central heat either.

Oh, yeah.

Go on, take a look around.

I have to get some
more wood chopped.

Do you need some help?

You bring an ax?

Will you help me
carry the firewood in?

You wouldn't move.

You couldn't have gotten out
of the way for two seconds.

Instead you just...

I thought I'd rather
stand my ground.

And how did that work out?

It's hard to remember.

Yeah, concussions tend
to have that effect.

How many days are you staying?

You
sick of me already?

No, I just, I don't
drink much anymore.

Well, drink up.

It's a special occasion.

Your little sister's in town.

I'm sorry your
engagement is off.

Yeah, well,

I'm not.

What can I say?

They were horny and
I was passed out.

It's kinda my fault
if you think about it.

Grace.

And on my birthday, too.

Yeah, well,

they're both lying assholes.

They will be perfect
for each other.

- Grace.
- What?

It's okay to be hurt.

You don't have to hide it.

You loved them and
they betrayed you.

My own husband did
the same thing.

After court, I,

I begged him to
bring Abby up here

so I could say goodbye.

I'm sorry.

I pretended to hate him

'cause I didn't wanna be hurt.

Letting myself feel sad is
the only way I could heal.

I'm sad I can't always hear
the floorboards crying.

They're loud sometimes and
sleeping makes my stomach hurt.

What?

What?

It's time for bed.

I sleep when the sun goes down.

I like to keep a
consistent pattern.

Please do the same.

Okay, ma'am.

The
dishes can wait.

Good night.

David.

Do you love me?

Yeah.

Will you always love me?

No.

I like the Rainbow Crunch.

Where are you going?

It's your turn.

I don't want to
play hide and seek.

I want to play Magicland.

If you don't play your turn,

Penny's gonna play for you.

Abby?

- What are you doing?
- Jesus.

Why are you spying on me?

- I wasn't spying.
- What are you doing?

I was cold, I was just
coming to get another blanket.

I will get you a blanket!

Cat, you're freaking me out.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Get some sleep.

Good night!

Night, Cat.

Okay, um, it's December 18th.

I guess I don't really
know how to start.

This is stupid.

I'm Grace Elizabeth Crawford.

It's December 18th and
I'm on winter break.

I don't really know
why I'm recording this.

Dammit, I'm completely
not sure about the ethics

of this either.

My sister,

my sister...

She moved here six years ago,

our family's old cabin
in the middle of nowhere.

She moved here six years ago

shortly after
divorcing her husband.

I haven't spoken to her
much since her move here.

No phone.

I wrote her letters,
she rarely writes back.

Since arriving, I've
noticed her displaying

several symptoms of someone...

She has been...

My sister.

Good morning.

Coffee?

Sure.

You sleep okay?

Sure.

The blanket helped, thank you.

It's really cold in that room.

I don't go in that room.

Everything okay?

Yeah, my stomach's
not feeling great.

- I have some antacids.
- Oh, no, I'm fine,

really.

One or two?

Okay.

You wanna talk about last night?

What's
to talk about?

You were talking like a child.

I was tidying up.

You were talking to Abby.

But Abby isn't there Catherine.

Cat, talk to me.

You think I don't know that?

You think I don't know that
my daughter isn't here?

You think I need you to
drive all the way up here

to tell me that?

You have no idea what it's like

having your daughter
just taken from you!

Cat, oh, Cat, come
here, come here.

It's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay.

Shh, it's okay.

Do you remember
holding me like this?

At night?

I was six.

When Mom died.

And I didn't understand
why she would do that.

And Dad didn't take it well.

He'd spend all his
time at the cabin

and leave us home alone.

He just didn't know how to
deal with all my questions.

You remember what scared me?

Nothing.

Yeah, nothing.

The thought of nothing.

Not existing.

I was okay when I
thought of death

as heaven or hell, but nothing?

Nothing scared me.

Mom not existing at all.

I couldn't sleep.

I'd lay awake and cry

while you held me like this.

Do you remember what
you did to fix me?

Yeah.

Yeah.

You made me play
with a Spirit Board.

You made me believe in spirits.

You showed me that
nothing doesn't exist.

You showed me how to
talk to Mom again.

I pushed the planchette.

I know.

You did what I
needed at the time.

I'm here for you.

You can talk to me.

What's wrong?

It's right there.

The electricity is
listening right behind her.

You can see it.

I have to feed the chickens.

No, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

No, no.

Abby?

Abby you weren't in
Mommy's pills, were you?

Abby, you know we can't
play in Mommy's room.

Abby, Mommy will be very
upset if you play in here.

Abby?

Abby?

Abby?

It's December 19th now.

Oh, okay, so, um...

Okay, she is talking
like a child now.

Penny.

My mother was diagnosed
with paranoid schizophrenia

when she was pregnant with me.

I never knew the mother
that my sister knew

or the woman my father did.

I was too young.

She, like many victims,

took her own life.

Mommy?

I blamed myself.

I triggered it.

Come on, Grace.

Detach and analyze.

Today,

today I found prescription
antipsychotic medication

in my sister's,

my, my big sister's...

I'm scared.

Grace?

Just a second.

Grace?

Yeah?

Are
you feeling better?

I'm still a bit nauseated.

- I
- brought some soup.

Oh, my god.

- Is that our...
- Yeah, I,

I kept it, I thought I'd try
being the big sister again.

Are their any spirits present

who wish to communicate with us?

What is your name spirit?

- Who's Penny?
- Stop moving it.

Ask it something else.

Spirit, is my sister
having a boy or a girl?

Why would you say that?

To protect you.

It started happening to me
after I gave birth to Abby.

Paranoia.

Grace,

I started hearing things.

Voices.

Telling me that Jerry
would hurt our baby.

I started seeing things.

You know that's why
Mom killed herself.

- Catherine...
- Dad said she started

to see a man in
the house at night.

The shadow.

What are you talking about?

She wouldn't take
her medication.

It's hereditary, Grace.

- I know that.
- I didn't wanna tell you

what had happened or
what could happen.

I'm not hearing things.

Or seeing things.

Grace,

I've been suffering
from mild schizophrenia

since Abby was born.

I started hearing things
and Jerry and I fought.

He thought I was dangerous,

but I would never hurt Abby.

Are you on medication?

Yes.

It keeps me normal
for the most part.

Sometimes I have
trouble sleeping.

I get sick, my focus is off,

but patterns help.

The cabin helps.

Being alone helps.

Being alone is where the walls
don't scream for a vacation.

Grace, please just let
me be alone up here.

Just keep it our little secret.

Who's Penny?

Penny, I don't really
wanna talk about it.

It's embarrassing.

Does Penny talk to you?

Do you see her?

Penny is how I talk to Abby.

I'm coping, I know, I read it.

But when I'm Penny,

I can see Abby.

So is Penny real?

Do you hear her?

No, Grace, I'm
just a mother coping

with having her
daughter taken from her.

Okay, after the divorce,
I didn't know what to do.

So I came here, I
thought I could just

get away from the noise.

Sustain myself, prove to Jerry

that I'm better.

I begged him.

I begged him to
bring Abby up here.

I just wanted to see my
daughter one last time.

Did he come?

No.

What happened?

I don't know.

He's gone.

I just started telling you this

because I ,

I don't want it
to happen to you.

Okay.

Cat.

I love you.

I love you too.

You stupid bitch.

I don't want you.

Should I have the baby?

Will I regret it?

Is it a boy or a girl?

David?

- Oh.
- Morgan?

Grace.

I'm, I'm.

You're better off alone.

You sleep okay?

I slept better.

You almost done?

I was gonna make
us some breakfast.

It's 4 p.m.

What?

You slept the day away, sis.

I gotta finish up
with this wood,

get some to the
house, to the shed.

Feed the chickens.

- I can cook some dinner.
- No, no,

I made some steak
and kidney pies.

They're in the fridge.

Can you just get
those in the oven?

Uh, yeah, okay.

Will you take a pile of
wood back to the house for me?

Yeah, of course.

Hello?

Come on, Grace.

Dear heavenly father,

thank you for this bounty
you have blessed us with.

Please let this food nourish
us and keep us strong.

Thank you Lord for this
time with my sister.

In Jesus' name we pray, amen.

Amen.

Last night I had nightmares.

You
slept a long time.

Do you see things often?

Are the voices always there?

What are you talking about?

The voices.

Seeing things.

Seeing Abby.

How long where
you two engaged?

A few months.

David proposed on
the 4th of July.

So he wouldn't forget the date.

Did it start with the dreams?

The paranoia?

Have you talked with Morgan

since you walked
in on them fucking?

She was one of your
best friends, right?

What?

What, are they engaged now?

Did you keep the ring?

I don't know, why
are you asking me this?

I don't wanna talk about it.

Exactly.

How's the pie?

I'm sorry.

It's really good, actually.

I get half a cow from a
farm a mile up the road.

Milk, eggs, phone.

It's a good walk.

It lasts me through the winter.

You were right.

I'm pregnant.

I didn't get peas the
last time I was town.

The Brits typically
eat it with peas.

I heard things.

And the dreams.

My sister is suffering
from mild schizophrenia.

She calls it mild.

She's in and out.

But overall,

she seems to be fine up here.

For how long, I don't know

whether the disease gets worse

or she has long-term side
effects from the drugs.

I don't know.

She doesn't want me
to share any of this

with the outside world.

She thinks being alone
is the best solution.

I don't know how long a
solution it will be, though.

Will I see my sister
again after this trip?

I think it must have been easier

when people believed it
was demonic possession.

Spiritual.

It was easier when I did.

With that there's hope or blame.

The boogeyman did it.

Call it a disease

and there is no boogeyman.

No one to blame

except your parents

and the fear that you'll
end up just like them.

I know she's gone.

At least the sister I knew.

Or maybe it is a demon.

I don't know.

Okay, I'm documenting this.

Last night I took a pregnancy
test, it was positive.

I know it sounds crazy,

but I asked the board
a few questions.

I pushed the thing myself,

and I answered them myself.

I asked it if I was
having a boy or a girl.

It didn't answer, I put
it back in the wardrobe.

I did not do this.

Huh-huh, I got
you Captain Rogers!

Okay, I got you!

I got you!

It's your turn.

Abby, let's go to
your room to play.

Mommy is upset.

Catherine.

It's time for bed.

It's time for bed!

Hey, not all at once!

Who is girl?

Uh, uh, uh, uh, not all at once.

I know that.

You know I know that.

Shh.

Will she get better?

Please make her better.

I wanna be better.

Hello.

Oh, I, I, I, I didn't
do anything wrong.

I didn't do anything wrong!

It's okay.

I met you.

Put on the full armor of God,

so you can take your standing.

It doesn't help

when it's inside you.

Coming for you.

She wants me to hurt you.

Who?

I'll show you.

Can you hear them yet?

You're better off alone.

How'd you sleep?

I slept better.

Sorry to interrupt last night.

It gets worse at night.

I really wish you'd
leave me alone at night.

It's embarrassing.

I'm sorry.

I noticed you
cleaned everything.

Busy morning.

It's 4 p.m.

You slept the day away, sis.

Again?

Lousy company I've been.

I gotta finish
chopping this wood.

Get some up to the
house, to the shed.

Feed the chickens.

Um, I got some steak
casserole in the fridge

if you wanna get that cooking.

Sure.

Hey, did you pick
up the Spirit Board?

If I did, it'd be
in the bookshelf.

Yeah, I looked.

It's not there.

It'll turn up.

Can you take a pile of
wood back to the house?

Yeah, of course.

Hello?

Stop, stop it.

Dear Lord, thank you for
this time with my sister.

In Jesus' name we pray, amen.

Amen.

I couldn't find
the Spirit Board.

It'll turn up.

Do you believe
in, um,

spirits?

Not
since we were kids.

I asked the board some
questions about my baby.

It doesn't
work with just one person.

I asked it if I was
having a boy or a girl.

And when I went back,

G-I-R-L was circled in
Crayon on the board.

I was gonna show you last night,

when you bumped into
me, I dropped the board.

Well demons aren't real
and I don't have Crayons.

It isn't funny.

I know what I saw.

I recorded it.

What?

I recorded it on my
camera, here I'll show you.

What do you mean
you recorded it?

- Just hold on.
- What do you mean

you recorded it?

- I said, hold on.
- What were you recording?

- Nothing.
- Nothing?

Are you recording me?

How's your thesis coming?

I asked you how your
thesis was coming?

And were you recording me?

- No.
- Were you using me

as a lab rat?

Did Jerry send you here?

What did you do?

I didn't mean to.

I didn't mean to.

You, you were acting
really strange

and I didn't know what was
going on until you told me.

I'll delete it, I'll
delete it, here, here.

It was, it was, it
was, it was in here.

I, I put it in here,
I put it in here.

Like, this is where
I put the board too.

It was, it was in here!

I put it in here!

You have to believe me,
I am not delusional!

The closet, in the hallway.

Maybe, maybe you put it in
there when you were cleaning up.

Yeah, I heard something
in the hallway closet.

It was locked.

Something in the closet did it.

In it, something's in it!

Can we check it?

Please.

Cat?

Please.

There's a reason Dad
always kept it locked.

So did I.

You can look for your
game if you like.

No, I'm fine.

I'm fine.

You're not allowed in there.

Come on, don't
you wanna meet her?

She wants to say hello.

Don't you wanna
meet your daughter?

Don't you want to meet me

before you kill me?

Don't you wanna
meet your daughter?

Don't you wanna meet me?

You're better off alone.

Hello.

Hello.

(wood cracking

How'd you sleep?

Good.

I think I'm getting
a little cabin fever.

Squeeze.

I was close.

Here.

Feel my hand.

Squeeze.

- Got it?
- Mm-hmm.

Try again.

Squeeze.

How do you shoot things
when they're moving?

Deer are typically
bigger than cans of beans.

Come on, I gotta
finish up the wood.

Get some in the
house, to the shed.

Feed the chickens.

Now, there's some liver
steaks in the fridge

if you wanna get those cooking.

Sure.

Do you want me to
put the gun away?

The key's over the door.

What are you doing?

They're burnt.

Please let this food nourish
us and keep us strong.

Thank you Lord for
not letting my sister

burn the house down.

In Jesus' name we pray.

- Amen.
- Amen.

This is so weird.

Why?

I just can't
believe you found this

after all these years.

I feel like a kid again.

In a good way.

Old things are good.

I'm hearing things, Cat.

The house creaks, Grace.

And I probably moved your game.

Sometimes I lose things.

I don't remember moving them,

but they turn up.

Do you think I would
be a good mother?

You are going to
be a good mother.

No, I mean,

could I raise a child?

What are you saying to me?

I've just been thinking.

If I'm hearing things,

what happened to Mom.

If it happens to me too.

Maybe I shouldn't have the baby.

I still feel her sometimes.

She writes me letters.

I can't always get
them out, though,

so she just, she just
reads them aloud sometimes.

But the atoms are always there,

the genomes, really.

You can't give her away.

Catherine.

I am a good mother.

Why would you say that?

What is wrong with you?

You think I'm a bad mother?

You think I can't
raise my own daughter?

I am a good mother.

I know.

I know, I know you are.

You're fine.

You're not hearing things.

She's your sister.

She needs you.

Can
Penny come out and play?

Mommy isn't feeling well.

Hello.

You're fine.

You're fine.

Little girl?

Abby?

I hear you.

You're fine, Grace.

You're fine.

Push.

You're better off alone.

Mommy's not feeling well.

I didn't do anything wrong.

I didn't do anything wrong.

I didn't do anything wrong.

I didn't do anything wrong.

What are you doing?

I didn't sleep well.

I chopped the wood.

- I was gonna feed the...
- I'll feed the chickens.

I want you to leave.

What?

I want you to leave now.

Please, Cat.

Just relax, just calm down.

You're making it worse.

I need you to leave, get out.

- I can't.
- Just get out,

get out, get out!

Cat, help me, please.

- Stop trying to trick me.
- I'm not.

Stop.

Stop!

- Stop!
- I'm not, Catherine.

He won't leave me alone.

Stop trying to trick me.

Did he send you here?

No.

Did Jerry, no I need you,

you can't be here,
you can't be here!

Catherine, it's
happening to me.

No, no, you're fine.

- I'm not fine.
- Yes, you are.

I'm hearing things
all through the night.

It's the house!

It's not the house!

Stop telling me it's
the fucking house!

I can see her.

She's in my dreams.

But when I wake up,
she's still there.

She's in my room.

I followed her last
night down the hall

and into the office.

She disappeared.

Who?

A little girl.

My daughter.

I can see her.

As clear as I'm seeing you.

I drowned her last night.

You helped me.

You helped me.

You, you,

- you, you helped me.
- No, no.

- You did it, you killed her!
- No.

No!

What you're going through,

that's how it started with me.

Quetiapine will help you
with the hallucinations.

With what you're hearing.

This will help with the
anxiety and paranoia,

and this will
settle your stomach.

I'm scared, Catherine.

When you get home,
get started on these.

And see a doctor.

I don't want this.

When they come for you,

it's best to hide the headaches.

And when you have your baby,

they'll take it from you.

What do I do?

You're making it worse, Grace.

Get some rest tonight.

Tomorrow, I need you to leave.

Please forgive me.

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

thy will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day
our daily bread.

- And...
- What are you doing?

And forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive

those who trespass against us.

Why are you praying?

You're not real.

I'm real, Penny's not real.

Am I your mommy?

Mommy's
not feeling well.

You wanna play?

Okay.

Good, I'll hide first.

But be quiet, Mom doesn't
want you to see me.

Okay.

Count to 20, no peeking.

One.

Two.

Three.

It's not real.

None of it's real.

Mommy isn't
feeling well, Abby.

Hello?

Hello?

Little girl?

Keep it down!

I fell.

Mommy
isn't feeling well.

I'm sorry, Mommy.

You made Mommy really mad.

You cheated, lights
have to be off to play.

You found me.

Your turn.

Can we rest for
minute before we play again?

You're kidding, you've
been resting forever.

You like to play, huh?

Yeah.

Is hide and seek
your favorite game?

Mm, yeah.

Who plays with you?

Um, Mom, Penny.

Penny, mostly.

What's your name?

Abby.

Is Catherine your mom?

Yeah.

Why are you crying?

Abby, I'm your aunt.

I'm your Aunt Grace.

It means, I'm your
mommy's sister.

We were little girls together.

Did you play hide and seek?

Yeah.

Really, because your
kind of bad at it.

Well I
found you, didn't I?

Yeah.

Does anyone else find you?

No, but I can
only play inside.

This is boring, can we play
hide and seek some more?

I don't know if you're
a good enough hider

to play with me.

I am.

Do you wanna hide from Mom?

I'm not allowed to go outside.

That's what's gonna make this

the best hiding spot ever.

Come on.

Abby?

Abby, the best hiding
spot is across the bridge.

I promise.

Mommy says the
bridge isn't safe.

I am right here with you.

I'll protect you, okay?

It's gonna be the best hiding
spot in the whole world.

Will you try for me?

Okay, come on.

Abby!

It's okay,
we're almost there.

- No!
- No, come on, it's okay.

No, it's okay.

Abby, you get
back here right now!

Catherine, what are you doing?

What are you doing, Cat, Cat?

Please, listen to me.

It's me.

Let her go.

Mommy!

Come here.

- Help!
- David!

- Mommy!
- David!

- Jerry!
- David!

Jerry!

Jerry!

- David!
- Grace.

Get away from her, Jerry!

David, help us, please!

Go, go!

- Jerry!
- No, Cat.

- It's okay, sweetie.
- No, you're not

taking here from me.

No.

No.

You get in that
house right now!

I said, go!

- Catherine, no.
- You are not taking her

from me!

Abby, you come here right now!

Abby, you open this
door this instant!

You are in big trouble!

- Mommy, stop!
- Mommy said

not to leave the house.

Mommy said outside
was dangerous.

You're working with your
father again, aren't you?

He's back again, isn't he?

Isn't he?

Grace is a very bad woman, Abby.

Come back to Mommy.

Abby, Abby, you get
out here this instant!

No, no.

Mommy, please.

You are not taking
her from me, Jerry.

You're a liar coming
for her destiny.

Split between us, don't let her.

Mommy, stop.

You're scaring me.

Mommy would never
hurt you, Abby.

I would never let
them hurt you, baby.

I just wanted to keep you
safe from that mean woman.

I'm sorry, Mommy.

It's just I really wanted
to play with Aunt Grace.

Why did you play with her?

You know I'm always
here to play.

I know, Penny, it's just that

Mommy wasn't feeling well,

and I wanted
someone to play with

so I gave her clues but
she couldn't find me.

What clues?

Honey, did you take
the Spirit Board?

Yeah.

Did you circle G-I-R-L?

No, Mommy, Penny did.

Remember?

Uh.

I took her camera.

Where is it, honey?

She made a video
saying that you're crazy

so I took it from her.

You stay here.

Why?

I have to give Aunt Grace
her camera back, okay?

Let me out!

Cat!

Let me out!

I'm afraid my sister could
be dangerous to herself.

She catches herself
from time to time

when her sentences
aren't making any sense.

She's jumbled.

When she does this, she's
usually able to catch herself.

It's as if she doesn't
know what she's said,

but from my expression,

she knows she isn't
making any sense.

Cat, let me out!

I went into psych because
of the loss of my mother.

Which eventually led to the
failing health of my father.

It effected him the worst.

He'd spend every moment he
could away at the family cabin,

leaving me with Catherine.

Sometimes at home,
sometimes at the cabin.

But he was always absent.

She inherited me,

the cabin, Mom.

She inherited Mom.

Cat, let me out of here!

But I was young, I wanted
to further understand it.

I just never thought I would

understand it on this level.

I never thought that
I would be watching

the decay of my sister's mind.

I never thought I would be
questioning my own sanity.

I know she is or is going crazy.

I just hope I'm not joining her.

Everything is going to be okay.

Cat, you don't have to do this.

Please, you don't know
what you're doing.

Aunt Grace?

Yes?

Why did Mom hit you?

Your Mom is very sick, Abby.

She needs our help.

You aren't trying
to hurt her, are you?

Mommy says other people on
the outside wanna hurt us.

No, no, sweetheart.

I love your mom very much.

Can you help her?

Can you, can you get that key?

Good job.

Give it to me, yeah, it's okay.

Good job, okay.

Just give me the
key, okay, thank you.

Okay, come on!

Wait right here.

Okay, which way is the farm?

Okay, come on.

Abby?

- Stop!
- Come on, Abby.

Abby!

- Mom, help!
- Shh.

Abby!

Listen, I am trying
to help you, okay?

You just don't
realize it right now.

Please, you're mommy needs
you to be strong, okay?

Okay, come on.

- It's okay.
- Abby!

Abby!

Mommy, help!

You're not taking my daughter.

You're not well, Catherine.

Now come on, Abby.

Come on, honey, come to mommy.

Don't go.

Look, Abby.

Abby, stop playing with
that terrible woman

- and come to mommy!
- Why, so you can shoot me?

I'd never hurt you, Abby.

So you can keep
her locked away

until you completely
lose your mind

and start seeing her as someone

other than your own daughter?

No, I would always know her.

Give her a chance, Cat.

Protect her.

Catherine.

She needs to get
out of this house.

She needs to play
with other kids.

Give her a chance
at a normal life.

Like you gave me.

What if she gets sick, Cat?

Like Mom.

Like you.

The chickens in the shed.

What's in the shed, Catherine?

Chickens are in the shed.

You're not well, Cat.

It's
just silly chickens.

Where's Jerry?

- I don't know.
- Where

is Abby's father?

He was watching me!

He came here to
let you say goodbye.

He did exactly what you wanted.

Where is Jerry?

- I don't know.
- Where is he?

He's a bad man who
tried to take our Abby.

Abby's been in the shed.

You killed Jerry.

I am a good mother.

There are no
chickens in the shed.

You.

Just Abby's father.

You are not
taking her from me!
