[UTENSILS CLATTERING]

Honey, it's family hour.

There must be something on.

DAUGHTER: Oh, wow, Candy Critters!

[FATHER EXCLAIMS]

Oh, great. It's Monsters, our favorite show.

[MONSTROUS LAUGH]

Shh, it's starting.

[MONSTROUS LAUGH]

[FATHER CHUCKLES]

[WHISTLE BLOWING]

ELLEN: May.

May.

May!

It's a long way to walk in the rain.

My car got stuck.

You shouldn't have come.

I was worried.

Well, you should've called first.

I tried, your phone's disconnected.

It is?

What the hell is going on here, May?

Nothing. Everything is fine.

No, it's not.

I haven't heard from you for over a year.

And then I get a call from a real estate agent saying you moved in?

We agreed to sell the cabin after Dad died.

I won't be here that long.

May, the place is falling apart.

I mean, how can you live here? Alone?

And in your condition?

My condition?

What are you, seven-eight months?

May, how come you didn't tell me.

I'm your sister.

It's nothing to be ashamed about.

Besides, I've always wanted to be an aunt.

May, you can come and live with me.

I've got plenty of room.

Frank doesn't like me.

Well, he's gone.

Gone?

I threw him out.

God, he was good.

But he good to everybody.

I'm all right, it's better that it happened now instead of later.

There's a tow-truck in the village, he could pull you out.

You really don't want me here, do you, May?

I just think it'd be safer...

[DOOR OPENS]

Your battery's dead.

What?

That took so long.

I'm sorry.

But I got all your favorites.

I was afraid something would happen to you.

What would I do?

Aren't you going to introduce me?

I'm Peter.

I'm Ellen,

her sister.

So you are.

I've been feeling some pain.

Can we go up now?

Maybe we should take you to a doctor.

The couch makes into a bed.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

[MAY MOANING]

[GASPING]

[MAY MOANING LOUDLY]

[MOANING CONTINUES]

I made breakfast.

There's food for May in the oven.

See if you can get her to eat when she gets up.

Got some money on you?

What?

The tow-truck. I'm gonna need some money.

I washed your clothes.

They were kind of muddy. They're hanging in the kitchen,

almost dry.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

[FOOTSTEPS]

[GLASS CLINKING]

Close them. The light bothers my eyes.

Peter made breakfast.

I never gone with a guy who made breakfast for me.

What does he do?

Why?

For a living.

He takes care of me.

Where'd you meet him?

He was here.

Living in the house?

Yes.

Oh, for God's sake,

this is really unbelievable. How could...

Stay away from him.

What?

Just stay away.

Gimme a break.

You know, everytime I had something, you'd have to have it too.

I did not.

The green sweater,

the red saddle shoes,

star sapphire ring Guy Bolton gave me in the eighth grade.

Don't worry about it, he's not my type.

Not my type.

But he is a good cook.

He said I wouldn't be very happy towards the end.

Who said this?

You doctor?

Peter.

When's the last time you saw a doctor, May?

Have you had any real pre-natal care?

You know how important that is.

He takes care of me.

He's gonna help me when the time comes.

No way.

Look, just as soon as my car gets fixed,

I'm taking you to a doctor.

People have babies in hospitals,

not in the middle of nowhere.

I mean, what if something goes wrong?

It won't. Peter knows what to do.

You can't take that chance, May.

You don't know...

It's my life.

It's my life. Not yours.

Peter is the first good thing that ever happened to me.

I've never felt so loved in my life.

Never from my mother, never from my father.

And never from you.

[EXHALES]

I'm sorry I said this, thanks to you.

It's okay.

I've been feeling a little crazy, you know?

Yeah, well, who wouldn't?

You should've called me, I would've come up.

Oh, I can still get around.

I'm not an invalid.

Okay, I'm a little tired.

Put your feet up.

I'm gonna go upstairs and clean up.

There's no need to.

Where's Peter?

I don't know, I thought he'd be back by now.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Don't scream. You'll wake her up.

Sorry.

I didn't know you were here.

I, uh, was cleaning up.

Oh, I didn't hurt you, did I? No.

What about my car?

We'll get to it.

There are a lot of ricks along the highway,

a lot of people out of control.

I think you ought to know that we're leaving as soon as we can.

Why would you want to do that?

Have you ever delivered a child before?

Yes. Lots of them.

Are you telling me you're a doctor?

I know what to do.

I have an instinct for it.

For God's sake, Peter, it's your kid too.

Oh, is that what you think?

I mean, I just assumed.

Mmm, you could be wrong.

Maybe she was pregnant before we met.

And maybe she needed someone and she reached out to me,

and I was there. Fate.

Is that what happened?

Why does the truth matter?

You've already made your mind up about me.

And about men.

You are just like your sister.

No, I'm not. She didn't believe me either.

I had to show her too.

Show her what?

That I could take away the pain.

What're you talking about?

Would you like me to show you?

Um, my sister...

she might hear us.

Don't make a lot of noise.

Show me.

[SCRAMBLING]

[MOANING]

I want you. Now.

What about my sister?

She's not as good as you.

You're much better.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

I want you to have my child.

Oh, God, Peter.

Don't you wanna have babies?

I don't even know you.

Oh, wow, it's crazy the way I'm feeling right now.

Like I'm 16.

It's too weird.

I mean, what, the three of us are gonna stay in the same house together?

Whatever you want.

[DOOR CREAKING]

Oh, damn it. May!

God, it's all your fault. Get off.

[INSECTS CHITTERING]

May!

Put the knife down.

You've got to get out of here.

What're you doing, May?

You get out of here now while you still can. Go!

No, I won't leave you.

Why did you have to do it? Why?

I'm sorry,

just don't do this, please, May?

You don't wanna do this. Please, don't do this.

It's killing me. It's eating me up inside.

He makes the pain go away but I can still feel...

Put the knife down.

May, don't do it.

Put it down.

[GROANS]

It's coming.

[GROANS]

You're gonna be all right.

MAY: Go, please, go!

No, I won't, you're gonna be okay.

No, she will die.

Don't say that.

But she will die.

It's part of the process.

It will be a good, useful death.

Lots of hungry little mouths to feed in this big old house.

Please, get some help.

Get some help.

They always die. My mother did.

Then I'll go.

May, I'm gonna get you a doctor.

[MAY GROANING]

Your sister was a fighter, too.

I like that in a woman.

The struggle is everything.

Only the strong survive.

What did you do to me?

It will wear off in a day.

Or so.

Don't leave me. Don't leave me. Please don't leave me, Peter.

I'm here, darling.

I need you to push.

Can you do that? Push!

I see it, it's coming.

Push, darling. Please, darling, push.

[GROANS]

It's beautiful.

[SCREAMS]

All my children are beautiful.

[SCREAMING]

[GASPS]

Peter.

What is it, my darling?

You won't leave me, will you?

No, my dear.

I won't.
