Lilly
I don’t believe you.
Lilly
You and Mom would never do that.
Dad
We would do whatever it takes to protect you.
Lilly
What are you saying? That you did this for me?
Dad
Greta is a very, very dangerous woman.
Dad
One night, 16 years ago, she came to visit us.
Dad
Your mom hadn’t seen her in ages.
Lilly
Dad, she’s pushing something under the door.
Lilly
This is so creepy. Why is she doing this?
Dad
I’m in a taxi. I’ll be home ASAP.
Dad
I know, love. This must be so hard to understand.
Lilly
Yes, it’s really HARD to understand why your parents are murderers!!
Dad
Greta tried to take you away.
Dad
You were just a baby.
Lilly
Why would she do that?
Dad
I told you. She’s always been jealous of your mom.
Dad
She’s always wanted what your mother had.
Dad
We tried to reason with her at first…
Dad
But you can’t reason with someone who’s insane!
Dad
She pulled out a knife and threatened to hurt you.
Dad
It all happened so fast after that.
Dad
One second I was trying to get the knife away from her, the next second she was dead…
Dad
Well, we thought she was dead.
Lilly
This makes no sense, Dad.
Lilly
How can she still be alive??
Lilly
Wouldn’t the undertaker or funeral director have figured that out?
Dad
There was never a funeral.
Dad
There was never an undertaker.
Dad
We couldn’t go to the police.
Dad
We were scared we’d be arrested and that you’d be taken away from us.
Dad
We couldn’t let that happen.
Lilly
What did you and Mom do?
Dad
Everything we did was to protect you, Lilly.
Dad
We did it because we love you so much.
Lilly
What did you do, Dad????
Dad
We covered up the murder.
Dad
I drove for hours that night, and I dumped her body in a lake.
Dad
I thought she was dead.
Lilly
Well, clearly she wasn’t.
Lilly
She’s pushing more papers under the door!
Lilly
She says they’re for me.
Lilly
I want to see what they are.
Lilly
IDK, it’s like a child drew them.
Lilly
I don’t think she wants to hurt me though.
Lilly
I think she wants to play with me.
Dad
Your mom is messaging me.
Dad
Don’t open the door for her.
Dad
Promise me you won’t open the door!
Dad
I need to talk to your mom now.
Dad
Are you at the hotel yet?
Ed
Yes. I just talked to her.
Sue
Maybe I should come to the house?
Ed
No. Stay where you are. You’re safe there.
Ed
I’m about fifteen minutes away from home.
Sue
How the hell is this happening, Ed?
Sue
Greta is supposed to be dead!
Sue
Really? And who else could it be, Ed?
Ed
I don’t believe in ghosts.
Sue
I can’t believe this. I can’t believe she’s alive.
Sue
OMG, what did you tell Lilly?
Ed
The thing we always agreed to tell her…if she ever found out.
Sue
Good! She can NEVER know the truth, Ed.
Sue
Lilly can never know what really happened.
Sue
Whatever happens, she must never know.
Ed
What if she finds out?
Ed
What if Greta tells her?
Sue
I don’t think Greta’s there to talk.
Ed
Well, that’s the strange part.
Ed
I don’t think Greta wants to hurt Lilly.
Sue
What makes you think that?
Ed
She’s singing nursery rhymes to her.
Ed
She’s passing her drawings under the door.
Ed
She wants to play with her.
Sue
We can’t underestimate her.
Sue
We made that mistake once before.
Ed
Maybe we should go to the cops this time.
Sue
She’ll tell them what happened all those years ago.
Ed
No one will believe her.
Ed
It’s her word against ours and she doesn’t have a good track record.
Sue
Greta is dangerous. Who knows what she’s capable of?!
Sue
There’s only one way to handle this.
Sue
We have to kill her – and make sure we really do it this time.
Ed
We can’t do that again.
Ed
Especially you. You still have nightmares about it.
Ed
I know how guilty you still feel.
Ed
You almost turned yourself in, remember?
Sue
It’s the only way, Ed.
Ed
There’s got to be another way!
Sue
It’s the only way to save Lilly and this family
Sue
There’s no other way…you have to kill her!!!
