Lilly
What the HELL am I seeing?
Lilly
You need to explain this to me! ASAP.
Lilly
I think you know, Mom.
Mom
I don’t know what you’re talking about!
Lilly
And it looks really, really bad.
Lilly
I need you to tell me this isn’t what I think it is.
Mom
What do you think it is?
Lilly
OMG…I don’t even want to think it…let alone say it.
Mom
You need to be VERY careful of her.
Lilly
You guys keep saying that to me, but she just seems confused.
Lilly
Mentally ill. Not violent.
Mom
Don’t let her fool you.
Mom
Your dad and I made that mistake once before and you nearly paid for it with your life.
Lilly
She’s here…in the basement.
Lilly
But I think she’s hurt from the fall.
Lilly
God, there’s blood everywhere.
Mom
Keep back. Don’t go near her.
Lilly
You make her sound like an animal.
Lilly
She’s holding something.
Lilly
I can’t see what it is tho. She has her back to me.
Mom
It could be a weapon!
Mom
Lock her in the basement and get out of there.
Lilly
She’s hunched in the corner of the room.
Lilly
It looks like she broke her ankle. It’s bent backwards.
Lilly
OMG, some of the bone is sticking out.
Lilly
We need to call an ambulance, Mom.
Lilly
It looks really bad, though.
Mom
No one can know about her.
Lilly
I feel like I’m in the twilight zone here!
Lilly
Nothing is making sense anymore.
Mom
I know this must be hard. But you have to trust your dad and me.
Lilly
She’s making a really weird noise.
Lilly
And it looks like she’s playing with something in her hand.
Mom
For God’s sake, Lilly! Stop this.
Lilly
She’s holding onto a chain…
Lilly
AND THE CHAIN IS BOLTED INTO THE WALL!!!!
Lilly
What the hell is going on in here?
Lilly
Why do you and Dad have this in the basement?
Mom
You were never meant to see this.
Lilly
Tell me this is some gross fifty shades room and not what it really looks like.
Mom
I think you should talk to your father about this.
Lilly
Mom, I want to know what this is!
Lilly
What is this place?
Lilly
There’s on old bed here with straps on it…
Lilly
Chains on the walls…
Lilly
Old blood on the floor…
Lilly
It looks like someone was held hostage here.
Mom
Greta used to stay here.
Lilly
Dad said he thought he killed her when she tried to take me.
Lilly
Why would you let her stay here?
Mom
It’s complicated. It’s hard to explain.
Mom
She was unwell. She needed a place to stay.
Lilly
So you didn’t make up the spare room?
Lilly
You stuck her in a locked basement instead?
Lilly
She’s saying something.
Lilly
You guys keep saying that.
Lilly
Are you afraid she’ll tell me something I’m not meant to know?
Mom
Everything she says is a lie.
Mom
She’s been a liar her entire life.
Mom
And there’s something else you need to know about her…
Mom
Your gran and grandpa.
Mom
This is so hard to admit…
Mom
It was Greta who started the fire in the house that killed them.
Lilly
That’s impossible. You said they died when you were six.
Lilly
You were just a child. And she would have been too.
Mom
A very dangerous child.
Mom
That’s why she was sent away.
Mom
She’s evil. Deranged.
Lilly
You told me your parents died in a car crash!
Lilly
Let me guess. You lied to protect me again.
Lilly
How many more lies are you and Dad keeping from me?
Lilly
She’s saying it over and over again
Lilly
I’m sorry, Gigi. I’m sorry, Gigi.
Mom
I can’t believe she remembers.
Mom
We used to call each other Gigi and Sassi when we were little.
Mom
When we were all still happy.
Mom
When she and Mom and Dad still liked me.
Lilly
What are you talking about?
Lilly
Why didn’t they like you?
Lilly
She’s trying to stand up.
Lilly
She’s hopping towards me on one leg.
Lilly
Jesus, she’s holding out her arms.
Sue
Greta’s attacking Lilly.
Sue
She’s going to try and take her away again.
Sue
Or worse. She’s going to kill her.
Sue
You have to stop her!
Ed
I’m pulling into the driveway right now.
Sue
Don’t let her hurt our only daughter.
Sue
You have to stop her.
Sue
By any means necessary.
Sue
They’re in the basement.
