Are you sure we haven't met?
It's just you're really familiar to me.
[Emma] I remember now why I never trusted you.
- You tried to drown me. - [Phoebe] Emma.
I didn't push you in. Em, I pulled you out.
You put cameras up in the house.
[door handle rattling] [Emma whimpering]
Back to bed for you.
Mummy.
[Robert] You're the one that he's been drawing.
You're the one that he's scared of, Em.
[ethereal music]
[horn honking] [tires screeching]
[rain pouring]
[doorbell ringing]
Can I help?
Is the birthday girl in?
I know it's late. I've just finished work.
I just wanted to drop this off for Emma
and wish her a happy birthday.
Um, yeah, Emma's not in.
Sorry, I don't think we've met, have we?
I'm Caroline.
I met Emma at the hospital.
Our mums were in the same ward.
Right.
I actually just wanted to check if she was okay.
She seemed not like the sorts yesterday.
- Thank you. - Um...
I'll leave you to it.
Will you say hello from me?
Sorry, you... Sorry, you said
that you saw Emma yesterday?
Yeah, she came 'round to the house last night.
[Robert] Right.
Why don't you come in?
Oh, no, I don't wanna intrude.
I mean, look, come on, it's smashing it down.
- I'm cooking... - Um.
[Robert] But you can have a cup of tea.
- Are you sure? - [Robert] Yeah.
Thank you.
Um, kitchen's just through here.
So you said that Emma was in a bit of an odd mood last night.
Oh, she's just bit drunk.
She just got a bit upset and angry, same stuff.
Yeah, and it's been a pretty stressful time.
I'm sorry it's been stressful for you too.
How's your mum doing?
She died.
Oh, fuck, I'm so sorry.
When?
[crying]
I'm sorry, it's...
It was today.
Shit.
[whimpering loudly]
I'm really sorry. I didn't...
That's... It's okay. You've got nothing to say sorry for.
Um... [sniffles]
- I should go. - No. No, no. No, please.
Stay. Are you hungry?
I've made so much food. Stay for dinner.
[heart rate monitor beeping]
[door swinging open] [Man] Hey.
I just need to get to her infusions, sorry.
[Emma clearing throat]
She's gonna sleep through the night.
Why don't you go home? Get some rest.
No, I want to stay, thank you.
Mm.
That was delicious.
Well, I'm glad you liked it.
That was Chloe's favorite when you were a kid, wasn't it?
- [Caroline] Thank you. - [Robert] You're welcome.
So you're a friend of mum's?
She never mentioned you.
- [Robert] Chloe. - [Chloe] What?
Just don't think we should be sat here,
having a fucking dinner party
when Auntie Phoebe could be dying
and Mum's in there by herself.
I didn't realize it was so serious.
[Robert] Yeah, it was a hit and run,
but she's gonna be okay. Okay?
We should have some cake.
- Uh. - Oh, no, I'm okay, thanks.
[Caroline] Oh, come on. A little slice.
And we can save the bit with 40 on
for when your mum gets back.
We should wait for Emma, shouldn't we?
Let's have a slice. Will we wake Will up for cake?
No, he's asleep.
Should get some plates.
Yeah.
[suspenseful music]
[Emma] Phoebe.
Do you need anything? [Phoebe moaning]
Emma.
- Are you okay? - [Phoebe] Yeah.
- You want me to get the nurse? - [Phoebe] No, Em.
Em, your friend.
- [Emma] My friend? - Yes.
She was at St. Agnes.
What friend? [shushing]
It was her.
It was her at the pond. She pushed you in, Em.
It was your friend. She pushed you in.
- I went to see her. - [Emma] Slow down, Phoebe.
I went to see her, Em, and there were drugs.
What friend, Phoebe? Tell me what friend.
Em, she pushed you in.
Do you not remember the frogs, Em?
The frogs?
It was at St. Agnes. Do you not remember the frogs?
- Phoeb... - [Phoebe] Em, she pushed you in.
[Woman] Emma, are you hurt?
[Woman 2] Phoebe, get away from her.
[Man] What's going on?
[Robert] Mm.
It's delicious.
Are you not gonna have any?
I'm diabetic.
Turned me into a bit of a feeder.
[Robert] Right.
Are you talking about Caroline?
Phoebe? [Phoebe mumbling incoherently]
Phoebe.
Is that who you're talking about? Caroline?
[Woman] Go on then. It's okay.
Here we are.
Hello again, Emma.
This is our daughter, Caroline.
[Man] She's gonna be your new sister.
We thought you could meet before we take you home next week.
[Woman] Caroline, you like frogs?
Why don't you show her the tadpoles, Emma?
- Go on. - Go on, Caroline.
Phoebe.
Phoebe? When did you see her? [Phoebe moaning weakly]
When did you see Caroline?
Fuck.
[metallic scraping]
I think I'm gonna go to bed.
- Yeah, all right. - [Chloe] Yeah.
It was really nice to meet you, Chloe.
Yeah.
[Robert] Good night, Chlo.
Sleep well.
[cellphone dialing]
[Caroline] Hi, it's Caroline. Leave a message.
[Robert] To be honest, I'm, I'm feeling
a little bit tired, myself.
Yeah, no. No, I know the feeling.
[Robert] Yeah.
So I'm gonna go to bed.
Oh, of course.
Yeah, um...
Let me tidy up before...
No, you don't have to do that...
- [Caroline] Please. - Okay. All right.
You really do have such a beautiful home.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for dinner.
Oh, you very welcome. Yeah.
Here, I'll, um... I'll show you to the door.
[Caroline] Ooh! Steady.
I'm obviously a bit more tired than I thought I was.
Actually, um, something's not quite right.
Um, something's wrong...
[Caroline] Why don't we get you somewhere
a bit more comfortable?
Yeah, that... That's a good idea.
- You're all right. - Yeah.
Thank you. My living room is just...
- Thank you. - [Caroline] Ooh!
- Sorry, I... - I got you. I got you.
[eerie music swelling]
I need Chloe.
Can you...
Can you get me Chloe?
I need Chloe.
Oh, what's happening to me?
I can't... I can't walk. [grunts]
[panicking] I can't move my legs.
I can't... [grunting]
[painfully] Oh! What's happening? What's happening?
It's just a sedative.
[grunting] [groaning]
[Caroline sighing]
What are you doing? [grunting]
I better check the children are asleep.
[Robert] No. [painfully] No! Stop.
No!
[cellphone dialing]
[Reception] Orchard Blossom Care Home. How can I help?
Oh, hi, um, sorry for the late call.
I need to speak to Caroline Mitchell.
[Reception] I'm sorry. She's not here tonight.
She hasn't come in.
Okay. Thank you. Bye.
[music intensifying]
[cellphone vibrating]
After everything that happened,
I thought she'd be more like me.
Then I saw this house.
You.
It's all so perfect.
[mysterious piano music]
[doorbell ringing]
[Emma] Caroline.
Caroline.
[Emma gasps]
[thumping eerie music]
[Young Emma] Come on.
This is where they come.
They should be here.
Where are they?
[Emma screams]
[screaming]
[Young Phoebe] Emma? Emma!
[Phoebe] I went to see her, Em, and there were drugs.

[Dispatch] 999, what's your emergency?
[Emma] I think there's a woman in my house.
I think she's dangerous.
I'm scared. She's gonna hurt my children.
I need help. [sighing frettingly]
[wooden rumbling]
[Caroline] Will?
Will?
I know you're up here.
Gonna find you, Will.
Rob.
Oh...
[quivering] Rob.
Oh!
The kids are fine. They're just asleep.
- Let me see them... - I said they're fine!
Emma.
Just sit down, okay?
I just need to think.
I don't even wanna be doing any of this, you know?
So can we just, just stop, just...
Just take, take a minute.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
You see, you can't imagine what it felt like,
seeing you after all of these years.
'Cause mum never talked about you, you see.
She just said the past is the past
and you can't change it.
And then there you were.
At the hospital.
Hi, I'm here to see Phoebe Bournett.
I'm her sister, Emma.
[Reception] She's in Room 8 at the end.
Thank you.
[Reception] I think you mean...
[Caroline] And I knew it was you.
That name.
Just clicked back into place.
Emma Bournett.
Perfect Emma.
And you tried to drown me.
I was a kid.
I didn't want a sister. I didn't need a sister.
And no matter how much I pleaded,
they just would not listen to me.
"She's so sweet, poor little thing,
and she's so clever.
Just give it time, Caroline, and you'll love her too."
'Cause I wasn't enough for them. They wanted you too.
And it was because of you
the crash happened.
Crash that your father died in?
Coming back from St. Agnes' from seeing you.
[Woman] You've got to give this a chance, sweetheart.
I don't want a sister!
Don't start, Caroline. Enough now!
It's all because of you.
Caroline! I said stop it now. Enough!
I won't tell you again. Do you hear...
Alan, the road!
[car hooting] [tires screeching]
[Caroline] I might've been free to live my life
instead of spending so many years
looking after my mum
that all I was qualified to become was a carer.
And now here I am.
Exhausted.
Alone.
And you have everything.
So what's your plan?
[Caroline] I don't have a plan.
I didn't mean for any of this to happen.
But then when I saw you again..
[Emma] I'm going to work.
[Caroline] I realized that I had to get to know you.
And I couldn't stop myself.
I just couldn't help myself.
I wanted to talk to you.
And I wanted you to see me.
And so I dropped my pass.
[Emma] I'm so sorry. I didn't see you.
And you did exactly what I thought you would.
You returned it.
And then the strangest thing happened.
'Cause, for a little while, I actually like you.
Getting drunk, high, talking about stuff
with someone else because I never get to talk.
You know?
Because people...
Well, they sense that I'm not quite like them.
And it's exhausting
trying to hide this...
This thing that's wrong with me.
And then you came along.
You see, even now,
I just feel like I can talk to you.
How's Phoebe?
She came to the house, you see, worried about you,
and I could tell from her face
that she almost recognized me,
and it would come to her and then she would tell you.
And you would tell the police,
and we couldn't be friends anymore,
and mum would be alone, and I couldn't have that.
But when I got home,
I...
[sobbing]
I found Mum...
Everything that is wrong with me,
it started with you.
You killed my mother.
[gasping]
[heart rate monitor beeping quickly]
[heart rate monitor alarm]
Yeah.
You're right.
It's all my fault.
I'm sorry.
[sighs] Could I...
I need a glass of wine.
You, um...
You didn't deserve any of this.
And I liked hanging out with you too.
And, yeah, we're from very different worlds,
but we're both fucked up.
We, we understand each other.
Like old friends.
Yeah. Yeah.
Like old friends.
Oh, Emma.
I don't believe you.
Well, you
should!
[Emma] Ah!
Ah!
[Emma screaming painfully]
Ah!
[grunting]
[Alan coughing and splurting]
[Emma groaning]
Those noises.
Just can't stand those noises.
[Alan splurting]
[Young Caroline] Daddy?
Please, Daddy, you're scaring me.
Stop it.
Please stop, Daddy.
[eerie music]
[shushing] Daddy.
[shushing]
[Alan grunting] [Caroline crying]
Daddy.
Stop it.
Daddy, stop.
[crying]
You're better now, Daddy.
You're better now.
You see, I thought, if he could just stop fighting it,
then, then he would be better, he'd be okay.
He knew that there was something wrong with me
which is why he wanted you.
And you know what?
He was right.
[floorboards creaking]
[Emma panting frantically]
Oh. There you are.
It's back to bed for you.
Come.
Come on. Up we go.
Come on.
Quick, quick.
It's really late, Will.
[music swelling]
Let's get you covered.
[music rising climactically]
[Will muffled screaming]
[Emma] Caroline!
[sirens wailing] Come here. Oh, my son.
[rapid footsteps approaching]
The other room. My daughter. Quick.
[emotional piano music]
[Young Phoebe muffled screaming]
Mummy.
Emma.
[Patricia gasping]
[Will] Mummy!
Mummy! No! No!
Mummy!
Help!
Mum, Mummy.
- You okay? - [Emma] Yeah.
- You okay? - Yeah.
Baby.
You okay?
Have you done all the packing?
- Yeah. Mm-hmm. - All of it?
- [Chloe] Hi, Mummy. Yeah. - [Emma] You okay?
[Emma] It's gonna be okay.
- Hey. - [Robert] Got ya. You all right?
[Emma and Phoebe chuckling]
- Are you all right? - [Emma] Yeah.
[sighs]
How's Will doing?
Yeah, he's doing a lot better.
And, hopefully, with this new firm,
I can work from home a lot more.
It'll be good for us all.
Move's gonna be good, isn't it, Chloe?
Yeah. Definitely.
[Emma] It's gonna take her a while too.
So I want to talk to you about something.
Okay.
It's a bit out there, so bear with me.
When I was in hospital,
I was thinking a lot about Mum's numbers.
- Right. - So...
Okay, when I first woke up,
it was 1, 0, 1.
And just before I passed out,
it was 2:33 on Will's clock. [writing]
Now look at this.
There's Caroline rattling the door,
lighting the candles.
Like Mum did, like I did.
Look at the timestamp.
[eerie music]
1:55.
2:10.
We were all doing exactly the same things
at the same time.
I don't think her numbers were random.
I think they were times.
[Patricia] One, six, one, one, one,
three, three, two, one, five, five, two,
one, zero, two, two, nine, two, two, three, three,
one, zero, one, one, one, three, one.
[Writing]
So like a premonition?
I don't know. I mean, Phoebe,
I'm not into this kind of stuff like you are.
But it does seem like the only explanation.
So Mum was acting out these premonitions,
warnings, [door handle rattling]
but she just didn't understand them.
She couldn't control them.
I don't know.
If Mum hadn't have been driven mad
by enacting these moments from the future,
then what happened to us
would never have happened, Em.
There would've been no St. Agnes.
No Caroline. You two would never have met.
Look.
There, see?
It's an ouroboros.
Where does the snake end and where does it begin?
It's just a constant endless loop.
It's a constant endless mind-fuck.
Yeah.
You broke the cycle.
Oh, bless her.
Poor mum.
Mm.
You all right? Working hard?
Yeah, we're fine, thank you.
- [Robert] Oh, good. Yeah. - [Emma] You?
[Emma] Still a lot here.
[laughing] You are pushing your luck.
[Emma and Phoebe chuckling]
- [Phoebe] Love you. - Love you.
[eerie music intensifying]
[Will] [whispering] Three.
Six.
Four.
One.
Zero.
