Ava?

[suspenseful music plays]
Ava.
Ava?
[pen scribbling]
[paper rustles]
[gasping]
Ava! Ava.
[breathing shakily]
[down-tempo music plays]
I don't know.
That I miss her?
Ah, yes. Ava.
I just thought I was getting better.
But the migraines are getting worse.
Perhaps we discuss the accident.
No.
Now, this should cover you until our next session together.
W-Wait. There must be some mistake.
This is clearly one less bottle than last time, no?
It's time, Vivian.
I-I don't understand.
It is my hope that the lower dosage will help regulate you.
However, I must caution you
to continue to monitor your intake.
Every time I try and fight,
it crushes me to my core.
Do you know how that makes me feel?
A fight I can't win.
Do you?
No.
No, I do not.
Time's up.
Yes.
Very well.
[grunts]
Trust.
If we don't have that...
...what good is any of this?
We Have Always Lived in the Castle.
One of my all-time favorites.
I used to read that book
over and over again.

I'm sorry, Ava.
[softly] I'm so sorry.
[mid-tempo music plays]
[woman] Hey. Hi, everybody.
Hot tamale right there, yeah.
Vivian Ashwood, is that you?
Nancy.
It's so nice to see you.
I knew that was you, although no one else would,
hiding behind those dark sunglasses.
Yes. It's me.
Well, how the hell are you?
I'm -- I'm doing well, thank you.
Now that the big secret is out, my ex went off to México
with his slut-tramp girlfriend, and everybody knows about it!
But that's okay. [laughs]
I needed some mental me time and...
Mental break sounds nice.
Yes.
Especially when you're 25 years old
with perfect, petite frame, tits still intact.
She's a tramp! [laughs]
God, I hate this community. They're all gossiping about it.
Everywhere I go, they turn and they whisper
and look at me like, "Mm."
How the hell are you doing, anyway?
Uh, I'm -- I'm -- I'm just doing my best to keep busy,
you know, enjoying the summer while we still have it.
Yeah. That's good. Good.
It's so important to enjoy yourself
when you're going through shit, you know?
Hey, why don't you let me take you out?
One night we'll go out on the town,
get you out of that crappy old house you call home.
Look, two single ladies, nothing to worry about.
We could have so much fun. I always wanted to take you out,
but you were always too little. Now you're old enough.
Let's go! [laughs]
I need a partner in crime out there.
Look at me!
I'm not getting any younger.
Oh, my God. Pre-menopause is kicking in, too.
It's such a shit show. It sucks.

Somebody help him!
[lifeguard] What the hell are you doing?
[boy] It was just a joke.
[suspenseful music continues]
I have to go feed Meadow.
[door slams]
[suspenseful music plays]
Surprise!
You, uh -- You startled me.
I decided to downright impose, because I, well --
just because.
I brought you this.
A fruitcake.
Unless you know something, I don't.
[laughs]
Well, are you gonna sit in there all day,
or are you gonna pour me a drink?
Come on.
May I get you something?
No, ma'am.
I'm already one step ahead of you.
You in?
I'll go ahead and finish my glass of wine.
Suit yourself.
Ah! Mm.
Could I get you some ice?
Oh, that's not necessary.
Ah! This shit hits the spot every single time.
Hey, look at this place. This place is...
It never gets old, huh?
It's just never -- It's flat-out -- It's so...
- Mm-hmm. - It's, you know...
[laughs]
[laughing] You know, nothing ever surprises me
in this community anymore.
I bet that kid was acting like a real overprivileged asshole,
the one whose parents taught him to be that way, you know?
[laughs]
Ah, kids these days!
I sure as hell can't deal with mine.
[ball bounces]
Honey, please don't bounce that ball inside.
I don't know. I suppose I overreacted.
I just was s-shaken.
Shaken and stirred. Yes, ma'am.
You know what?
They're playing some live music down at the tavern tonight.
- We should go. The lead singer-- - [ball bounces]
he looks like a dated Barry Williams or something.
I bet there's gonna be a lot of young, healthy bruisers
- out there on the prowl, if you know what I mean. - [ball bounces]
What do you say? You ready?
You ready to be hunted?
- [ball bounces] - How enticing.
It sounds completely barbaric.
No, no, that's the point, woman!
I apologize. I just...
got a clear visual of your idea of fun.
What do you say? You go upstairs,
you get yourself all dolled up, I have a few more of these,
put on your war paint, let's go.
Let's go make a night of it.
As tempting as all of this sounds,
I think I will humbly deny your request.
Stop talking that nonsense! Come on.
Oh, I forgot.
- [ball bounces] - This is the woman who won't leave her fortress.
- [ball bounces] - You're all bottled up in here. I'm claustrophobic.
- [ball bounces] - You have 18-foot ceilings. Vivian, you can.
- [ball continues bouncing] - You just won't.
What is stopping you but you?
- [ball bounces] - A woman of your stature shouldn't be held down
by these unbearable deprivations.
[ball bounces]
Honey, for the last time,
stop bouncing that ball in the house!
Yes, you quiet down in there and you shut the fuck up!
I'm sorry. I...
I don't know what's going on with me.
I, um...I'm not well,
and it's just been a roller coaster of a ride thus far,
and I'm just trying to get better.
May I be blunt?
Never seemed to stop you before.
Vivian, you gotta get your shit together.
I mean, what is wrong with you?
I-Is it the accident?
I mean, you know, I -- I may know
a lot more than you think, and I may be able to help you.
I wanna help you, but you gotta talk to me.
I appreciate it.
But I'm okay.
Um, sure you are. You're just peachy.
Ah, that stuff is good.
[chuckles]
Nancy, you're drunk.
Oh, please. This? This is nothing, baby girl.
You should see me on a Saturday night.
I think I have a pretty clear idea
of how your Saturday nights usually go.
Wow. I just...
[sighs] I don't know what more a girl could do
to try to help another woman out.
[inhales sharply]
I'm going out of my way here.
You know, I'm kind of tired.
I think maybe you should go.
Oh.
Believe it or not, I feel your pain, Vivian.
What?
I feel your pain.
Nobody can feel this pain, Nancy.
Perhaps.
But I think we've both been through some hard times.
I can try to help you, Vivian, but the only one
that's gonna make the change for the better is you.
Only you, sugar.

Honey, talk to me.
Bibi, look at me. Look at me.
T-Talk to me.
[suspenseful music plays]
Honey, we have to go.
Come on, honey, we have to go.
Come on!
[suspenseful music continues]

[door creaking]
Come on, come on.
[Bibi] Did you see him?
[gasps]
Oh.
[lock rattling]
Oh! Damn it!
You shouldn't talk like that.
I know, I know, I know, I know, baby, I know.
[breathing shakily]
I invited him into our home.
You did what?
He's here for you.
[pounding on door]
[suspenseful music continues]
[panting]
Come on.
Shh.
[loud bang on door]
You have to be quiet. You have to be quiet.

Don't be scared, Vivian.

Oh.
No! No, no, no!
Get away from us!
[sobbing]
Please!
[hyperventilating]
[breathing shakily]
Bibi.
Why are you holding my carousel?
Huh.
What are you doing in there?
What are you doing out there?
Silly question.
I'm going outside to play with Meadow.
But it's the middle of the night.
It's so morbid in here.
Let's let some life inside this bedroom.
There.
[whispering] We were supposed to be safe in the closet.
[shakily] It was the safest place to go.
But is it?
Tell me, Vivian, who were you running from?
Yourself?
Uh...
Myself? [chuckles]
You think I'm crazy, don't you?
I'm not. I'm not crazy.
There was a man in my house, and he was trying to kill me.
Tell me about this man.
[crying] He was... He was --
All right, all right. Just -- just take a moment.
Are you taking the proper medication?
This isn't about your goddamn drugs, Doctor.
I need your help.
[doctor] Mm.
Yes, well...
I feel I need to point out to you
that you keep denying accountability.
[breathing shakily]
[down-tempo music plays]
Now...
tell me about the drawings.
- Hmm? - Do they help you cope?
The medication and the drawings help.
[down-tempo music continues]
[hyperventilating]
[doctor] Vivian. Oh, Vivian?
Vivian Ashwood!
I'm not well, Doctor.
[down-tempo music continues]
I should have protected her.
I need you to give me more drugs, Doctor.
Please.
I can't go on like this.
I'm begging you.
We -- We have known each other a long time.
I've always felt an obligation to act in your best interest
to protect you...
to protect you from yourself.
I regret to say that I can no longer fulfill that commitment.
I cannot and I won't.
Time's up.
[sighs]
You're absolutely correct.
Time is up.
But before I leave, may I see your drawing?
I think it's best for you to go.
[sighs]
Very well.
Yes, well...
good day, madam.
[dramatic music plays]
[door closes]
[piano keys plinking]
[plinking continues]
What are you drawing, Bibi?
Do you remember last night?
Upstairs?
I'm trying to get better,
but I can't get better without some clarity.
And I need your help, Bibi.
I don't have anybody else to turn to.
And I don't wanna live like this anymore.
Was there somebody in the house last night?
Was there somebody here, or am I losing my mind?
Answer me, Bibi.
Was somebody in the house?!
I don't want to talk about that.
- Why not? - Because I don't want to.
I can't get well if you and I are not on the same team.
I need you.
I need you now more than ever.
So please.
[sniffles]
It's just you and me.
It's always been you and me, Bibi.
That's all we have.
So come on, talk to me.
Bibi!
I'm sorry.
Fine. That's fine.
That's fine. Um...
What do you say you and I go for a little stroll
in the courtyard, huh?
Let's get out of this house.
We can talk.
It'll be refreshing.
Come on.
It'll be nice.
Just like old times.
[suspenseful music plays]
Let's sit right here.
It's really beautiful out here, huh?
I remember those summer days
when you were just a little girl.
No more than the age of 7 or 8.
And you would run in and out of these trees
all day long.
You and, uh...
- Ava. - Yes.
You were two peas in a pod.
She was my best friend.
Yes, she was.
Ava and I used to play hide-and-go-seek.
It was our own little game.
Remember that one time
she hid in the stable?
In the trunk with Meadow's blankets.
She must fell asleep in there.
We searched for hours and hours.
Finally...
she came out, half-asleep.
Her hair was all messed up.
Father got so angry at her.
I know the reason I'm so messed up is because of that man.
I should have known what was going on.
I-I should have been there to protect you,
to protect Ava.
[crying] Why did he do those things to us?
Why wasn't it me?
Ava is gone, Bibi.
I don't wanna feel this way anymore.
I don't wanna feel anything anymore.
We need to move on.
I don't wanna move on.
I just want Ava back.
[down-tempo music plays]
Ms. Ashwood.
We've been expecting you.
[down-tempo music continues]
[suspenseful music plays]
[gasping]
Stop the ride!
Please stop the ride!
Please!
Please stop the ride!

I can't! I can't!

[insects chirping in distance]
[suspenseful music plays]
[gasps] Oh, my God!
Oh, my God. Bibi! Bibi!
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
Wake up, honey. [sobs] Come on.
It's okay, it's okay.
We're gonna get you inside, sweetie.
Come on. Come on, sweetie, come on.
[panicked murmuring]
Honey, come on.
All right. Okay, let's lay down.
Lay down, sweetie. Lay down, lay down.
It's okay. It's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be okay.
Shhhh.
Please don't leave me.
Come on, baby, wake up.
Please wake up, sweetie. Come on.
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
I'll make it better, okay? You just have to wake up.
[sobs] You can't leave me.
[loud bang on door]
Wake up. Wake up.
[whimpering]
- Where am I? - Baby. Come on, sit up.
[whimpering] No. No.
No, it's okay.
It's okay. Everything's okay now.
Why did you do?
[whimpering]
No, it's okay. No, no. It's okay.
- [loud bang on door] - It's okay.
Stay right here, okay?
Everything's gonna be okay.
[suspenseful music continues]
[music intensifies]
[trembling] Who is it?
[Nancy] Oh, Vivian, stop this nonsense.
- Open the damn door! - Oh, thank God.
It's about time!
I've never been so glad to see you.
What in the devil happened to you?
What? What's wrong?
You look like hell, that's what's wrong.
And why is it so damn dark in here?
You have a rough night, Vivian?
Yeah.
Well, I came by to make sure you were okay.
I'm worried about you. I'm damn worried about you.
- Why? - Why? Look at you.
And you're talking to yourself.
- What? - Don't try to fool me.
I've seen you talking to yourself --
conversations back and forth like a damn seesaw.
I hardly talk to anybody, Nancy.
Except for my daughter.
Your daughter?
Yes. My daughter.
I don't know what's dancing around
in that beautiful mind of yours, Vivian.
But, please, let me be the voice of reason.
You don't have a child -- not a daughter or a son
or that damn horse Meadow anymore.
Yes, I do have a daughter, and she's standing right there.
I know what this is.
You just could never let go of your sister, Ava.
You've been messed up for so long now.
- Get out of my home. - Home?
You call this decrepit prison a home?
[dramatic music plays]
This is my home. [gasps]
[Nancy] This is your dad's fault.
I didn't see everything he did.
But I saw enough to know he was a terrible father.
He was an evil man.
I watched you two little girls cling to each other,
and I fell in love with you.
When she died, that was it for you, sweetheart.
Hey, stop crying, all right?
I'm here for you. I'm your friend!
[exhales]
No, you're not my friend.
You were never my friend, Nancy.
You think that because we were neighbors when I was growing up,
that we're somehow bonded together by, um, by --
by what?
Some unfortunate circumstance that destroyed my life?
Wrong.
You only think that you were my friend.
And I know I need help.
But so do you.
You're a drunk, Nancy.
That's what you are.
And you think you can use me
to feel better about yourself.
You can't.
Mom, she doesn't believe you.
Bibi, go to your room.
I will ask you kindly,
one more time,
to get out of my home.
I will not ask you again.
The devil only gets flesh-deep with me, sweetheart.
It is so sad that you can't see my true intentions.
Good intentions for you.
All I want is peace.
No matter how dark it gets,
I'm always gonna be here for you.
I'll never leave you, darlin'.
[dramatic music plays]

You give that to me!
[suspenseful music continues]
[panting]
Ah!
[screams]
[panting]
Get out of my head!
[whimpers]
This isn't my fault.
Who are you talking to?
You know damn well who I am speaking to.
I'm ready to see Ava.
We want to see Ava.
There is no other way.
We don't need to endure this pain anymore.
We?
You are not real.

Hi, baby.
It's okay.
[sniffles]
It's okay, Meadow.
[sniffles]
You don't need to feel all this pain anymore, okay?
He can't hurt you anymore.
He can't hurt you.
It's okay.
It's okay, baby.
Oh.
[crying] Meadow.
[sniffles] It's gonna be okay.
I promise.
I promise you it's gonna be okay.
Get out of my fucking brain.
[crying] No.
Get out of my brain!
Why her? Why not me?!
[carousel winding]
[whimsical tune plays]
Vivian.
Let's go home.
[Vivian] No.
Let's go home.
No. No!
