[sniffs] Hm.

[Rob] You packing everything you own?

[chuckles] You know we're just going for the weekend.

-Right? -I know. But I'm nervous, okay?

From everything you said about your mom, I feel like

she's gonna be a tough nut to crack.

Ah, she just wants to make sure

I found the perfect girl.

-Girl? -[Rob] Woman.

[chuckles] She's just being protective.

See, that's what I'm afraid of.

She probably thinks I'm some kind of a gold digger.

No, she doesn't. That's crazy.

Unless you really are

and you've just been duping me all this time.

Hm, you're right. That's totally me.

I'm gonna take you for everything you've got, mister.

-Is that right? -I'm ruthless.

-Sure you are. -Hm. Wait and see.

Yeah. Uh...

Oh. Get a door, you degenerates.

-Someone could walk right in. -[Grace] May!

I thought you guys were trying to beat traffic.

Yeah, we probably should hit the road.

-Mm. Okay. -I'll go pull the car around.

May.

[grunts]

You're gonna help me close this or what?

Sure.

Why do you have so much stuff? You're a mess.

[eerie music]

[May] Hey, are you okay?

You know, Rob's been acting a little weird lately.

Lately? He is always a little weird.

Now I don't even wanna say this out loud, but...

-I think he might propose. -What?

I mean, I mean, I don't, I don't know, I just...

-Just this weird feeling I get. -No, uh...

That's amazing. I'm happy for you.

It's just, I don't know, you've known him for three months.

I know, I know, but...

I'm just saying proceed with caution.

I've dealt with my share of one percenters.

They treat people like us like trash.

If they think you are after their money--

I'm not is the thing.

This could be the best thing that

ever happened to me.

-Aside from you, of course. -Mm-hmm.

Well, you know I love you and I just want what's best for you.

Thank you. I just hope his parents like me.

Of course they will.

Your life is gonna change so much

when you become all rich and sophisticated.

Shut up.

A long way from that shitty basement

apartment I rescued you from.

Which was a step up from my mom's

rat-infested apartment before that.

If she had it her way, I never would have left.

You've worked really hard.

And she's gone now and you don't have to worry about her.

I just wanna have it easy, you know, for once in my life.

Yeah, no more picking locks

or stealing wallets or food...

Okay, that was one time.

[May] Okay, call me tonight. [Grace] I will.

-Promise? Okay. -I promise.

[both chuckling]

-Love you. Mm-mm. -I love you.

Okay, just don't, don't sleep in my bed.

Okay. Bye.

[upbeat music]

-[Rob] Hey. We're here. -Hm?

This is your parents' place?

[Rob chuckles]

[Rob] Yup.

The house, the land.

-All of it. -Oh, my God, what?

-Yeah, it's a bit much, right? -It's gorgeous.

-You ready? -No.

-Come on. -Oh.

[door opens]

-[instrumental music] -[gasps]

Oh, my gosh!

Are you serious right now?

Is this what you were expecting?

It's way pricier than that.

Hey.

-You're late. -Uh, i-it's my fault.

Mrs. Whitby, I took a little too long getting ready.

Call me Miriam.

I'm Stephen.

We've heard so much about you.

Oh. I hope it's good things.

-Mm, my special boy. -Mm.

Mm. I've missed you.

[both chuckling]

-Uh, dad. Hey. -Yeah.

Oh, you're feeling lean. You've been working out?

Your mom's got me on some kind of low-carb thing.

Your home is gorgeous. It's...

Well, come on, Grace. Let's give you a full tour.

-Okay. -Okay.

I'm gonna go grab our stuff, gonna catch up

with you guys later.

[gasps] This is beautiful.

It's all Miriam, she's the brains

behind the whole operation.

-My office. -What do you do?

Uh, I used to dabble in all sorts of ventures.

But now I'm retired, so I mostly pass the time

moving money around creatively.

And now, for thepiece de resistance.

[Stephen] I designed this room myself. Sound-proof.

Fitness center. Fresh popcorn.

[Miriam] I'm not a fan. What's your opinion, Grace?

And if you think this is a test, it is.

Uh... Honestly, I like it.

See, Miriam, I do have taste.

Now, come see something we both agree is perfect.

He knows you lied, but it still made him happy.

Well done.

And this is where we come for a little R and R.

Huh. So peaceful.

We back on to public land, so

there isn't another neighbor around for miles.

Hm. What's that cute little place over there?

That's the garage.

The Jacuzzi is fully operational, though.

I promise we'll have a little splash in there later.

[chuckles]

Robbie, you must be exhausted.

[Miriam] I know how tired you get after long drives.

Why don't you show Grace to your room and freshen up a bit?

And we can reconvene later for happy hour.

-Sounds great. Come on. -Yeah.

Thanks.

[instrumental music]

Aww...

Hey, I'm gonna crash for a bit.

My mom was right, I'm pretty beat.

Okay, you can go for it.

-I slept on the car ride up. -Hm. Okay.

-Mm. -[music continues]

I'm just gonna poke around a little bit.

[ominous music]

-[indistinct song on stereo] -Oh! Jesus! Stop!

-[stereo turns off] -[sighs]

[eerie music]

-Hey. -Oh! Oh!

-This door should be locked. -I'm-I'm sorry about the music.

Nobody ever comes in here. Not even the housekeeper.

Do you have a sister?

Her name was Jenny.

She, uh, disappeared about ten years ago.

Oh, my God, what? Why didn't you tell me?

What happened?

To be honest, it's, um...

it's a little bit of a s-sore subject.

-O-of course, yeah. -Especially with my parents.

So I'd appreciate it if you just don't bring it up.

I won't. I'm... I-it's just so awful.

Uh, uh, they just, uh, they never found--

I really don't wanna talk about it.

-Rob, I'm so sorry. -I should've told you.

No, it's okay, I get it. I really do.

[sighs] I just want this...

to be a special weekend.

Well...

I have an idea how we could make this a little more special.

-Yeah? I'm intrigued. -Yeah. Yeah.

[both sighing]

Ah. I hope I wasn't too loud.

Loud was awesome.

Okay, I'm gonna pee, and we need to get ready

'cause we do not wanna be late for happy hour.

Hm.

[sighs] Okay.

The bathroom is just down the hall.

-[door shuts] -Oh!

I came to make sure you two didn't oversleep.

But by the sounds of it, you were already awake.

Yeah, we were just, we were just getting up.

Well, I hope you got some rest. You certainly look invigorated.

Oh, yeah, it's probably all the, um, fresh air out here.

Uh, bathroom is this way?

That way.

Okay, thanks. Good to know.

[chuckles]

[Miriam] Robbie's last girlfriend, Tricia,

now, she was a brat.

-Ha. -That's too bad.

[Miriam] Talk about loud.

Her voice just cut through your eardrums.

-Didn't it, Rob? -Yeah.

She was argumentative and opinionated.

Terrible qualities for a girl.

And she was a picky eater.

You're not a picky eater, are you, Grace?

No, I am the furthest thing from it.

Good, because I was taught to eat everything on my plate.

Miriam's parents were extremely strict.

[Miriam] Well, nothing wrong with high standards.

Isn't that right, Robbie?

I mean, just look how fabulous you turned out.

-Mm... -[Stephen] Okay.

Tell us about your parents, Grace. Do you see them a lot?

-Um, no, actually. -[Miriam] Oh!

[Grace] They both passed.

-Oh, no. -[Stephen] I'm so sorry.

Honestly, I barely remember my dad.

He died when I was three.

And my mom was challenging, to put it mildly.

I left when I was 15 and lived on my own and...

I wasn't in touch with her at all anymore

when I found out she died a few years ago.

-Wow! -Um... Ahem.

-That's a lot. -Oh.

However did you manage on your own

at such a young age?

[Grace] It wasn't easy.

Uh, there was a, a dark chapter.

But then I-I-I found my footing and I-I went back

and finished high school a few years late, mind you, but...

-Oh. Remarkable. Hm. -Hm.

Up by your own bootstraps.

-Cheers. -Yeah.

I like this one, Robbie.

So far so good.

-Ready for another? -Uh, no, one was plenty.

I'm-I'm actually feeling a little lightheaded.

Oh, maybe you're hungry.

Our housekeeper Penelope will be here any minute

to start dinner. She'll make you a snack.

[Stephen] You're gonna love her, by the way.

We've known her since she was little.

Her mother worked for us before her.

I-I'm really sorry, I-I need to excuse myself.

-So sorry. -Are you ill?

-Do you need me to come with-- -No, I'm fine.

I just, um, I just need to lay down for a minute.

[Grace sighs]

[panting]

[ominous music]

[sighs]

[intense music]

[intense music]

[mumbles]

[sighs]

Oh, shit!

[Grace sighs]

[ominousmusic]

Oh, there you are. Dinner's ready.

Oh, you must be Penelope, we

should probably introduce ourselves.

I already know who you are.

Wow!

[sighs] Okay.

[Stephen] All my fingers were in different pots,

media, pharmaceuticals, surgical equipment,

cosmetics, construction...

Philanthropy, political fundraising, the police board.

-[Miriam chuckles] -[Stephen] Ugh!

Do you like beauty pageants, Grace?

Oh, I don't know, I think

they're a little superficial, don't you?

[chuckling]

[sighs]

I was a beauty pageant queen.

Oh. I-I didn't, I didn't mean the...

It's all right. Everybody's entitled to their own opinions.

That's how we met, actually.

I was asked to adjudicate her pageant.

Ah. I'm sure you were very impartial.

Ah, I may have played favorites.

You're certainly good at that, aren't you, darling?

But enough about our story. I wanna know more about you.

[Miriam] Yes, it can't have been easy.

S-sorry, w-what, um, what were you saying?

Losing your parents, fending for yourself, I can't imagine.

What, uh, doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?

Marvelous. Are you sure you're feeling better?

You haven't even touched the wine.

The nap helped, thank you.

-And you've had enough to eat? -Uh, yes, I am so full.

You know, Penelope's mother, Abigail, made escargot

for very special occasions.

And you've certainly carried the baton.

-Haven't you? -I hope so.

-It was amazing, Penelope. -I'm so glad.

So you've worked here since you were young?

Yes, I was a teenager, yeah.

Abigail used to bring her along to help out.

She began by babysitting for us.

Oh. What was Rob like as a little boy?

[Grace] Huh? Did you have to change his diapers?

[laughter]

I mean, I'm sure he was a wonderful big brother.

-[cutlery clanks] -[intense music]

I am so sorry.

Rob said not to mention it, Mr. Whitby.

-I am so sorry. Shh. -[Miriam gasps]

Shit! Um, I am, I am so, so sorry.

I didn't, I didn't mean to, um...

No harm done, dear.

I'll just get you another one.

Clean this up before it-it stains.

Lemme give you a hand with this.

-Let's get you out of here. -Oh.

I'm so sorry. Rob told me not to say anything.

It just sort of slipped out.

How much did Rob tell you about Jenny?

Nothing. Just that it was a very sensitive subject.

All right, well...

I suppose all families have their tragedies, don't they?

Can I ask what happened?

[sighs]

[sighs]

It was ten years ago.

Stephen was at work. I was by the pool.

Rob was in his room

and Jenny was down by the pond.

When Abigail called us for dinner, Jenny didn't come.

So I just asked Rob to go get her.

But she was nowhere to be found.

Oh, no.

So we continued searching when Stephen came home

and eventually called the police.

The search went on for weeks.

They even dredged the pond,

but she simply just

disappeared without a single clue.

-That's terrible. -It was.

But especially for Stephen.

They shared a very special bond.

In fact, he still feels strongly...

that we will find her.

I feel awful for bringing it up.

Well...

I'm sure you will find a way to make it up to him.

[eerie music]

Oh, my God, May, I am totally blowing it.

Slow down. I'm sure you're not.

Wait. Did he pop the question or what?

[sighs] No, he hasn't, but, listen, there's this whole

crazy thing. He has got, like, a dead sister.

-What? -[Grace]I know, right?

She disappeared, like, ten years ago,

and the family is still really messed up about it.

She disappeared? I never heard about it.

[May]You'd think it'd be a big deal on the news.

-They're almost famous. -I mean, I guess.

That's bat-shit. There's gotta be more to the story.

Well, not everything is a conspiracy.

You always see the good in people.

[Grace]And you don't.

[Grace] Please, just let me choose

to believe that Rob is perfect, okay?

[May]It's your life. Okay. Love you.

I love you, too.

[Grace] Creepy.

-[Stephen] Jenny. -[gasps] Oh, sorry.

I didn't realize you were up here. Uh, what did you call me?

I said, I think you deserve an explanation

about my daughter, Jenny.

Uh, care to join me for a drink?

Oh, I'm actually still feeling a little bit queasy.

Okay. I understand.

But I, I'd love to sit with you.

-Hm. -[chuckles]

Please.

[Stephen] They try to protect me from my feelings, but, uh...

I actually love talking about her.

Keeps her alive in my heart.

She was a beautiful soul.

You remind me of her.

Oh. Well, that's very nice.

Do you like dragonflies?

Sure. I mean...

Jenny loved them.

We used to watch them together down by the pond.

Did you know that they symbolize love and prosperity?

Uh, isn't that beautiful?

It's gorgeous.

She was the love of my life.

I would do anything for her.

Uh, I'd better turn in.

But you haven't touched your drink.

Uh, I'm exhausted.

Would you please tell Rob

that I'm heading to bed?

Sure.

Thank you for a lovely evening, though.

Thank you for a lovely evening.

Sweet dreams.

[Grace sighs]

-[Penelope] Watch your step. -[Grace scoffs]

Okay. Do you have a problem with me or something?

I'm telling you to be careful.

I think you're jealous.

Okay. Well, don't say I didn't warn you.

[scoffs]

[sighs]

-[sighs] -[Rob] Hey. You okay?

Not, uh, exactly the special weekend I had in mind.

Yeah, I know. I have to apologize to you, again.

I really should have told you about Jenny.

-No, no. I mean, I tot-- -No.

It was wrong of me to drop all that on you,

then expect you not to bring it up.

I mean...

Yeah, that did, uh... That sucked.

But I get it, I mean,

I cannot imagine recovering from a tragedy like that.

Well, as you can see, we haven't.

[sighs]

Your mom, she said that she just disappeared from the property.

Like, how does that even happen?

Um, well, the cops thought maybe someone came in from the back.

But then they scoured the whole forest

and didn't find a single clue.

That is horrible.

I should have told you all that right from the start.

But I just wanted this to be a perfect weekend.

And I wanted my parents to feel the same way about you as I do.

The good news is that they definitely do.

Well, I mean, your dad is a little...

um, uh, affectionate.

-[chuckles] -But your mom...

God, I feel like I totally offended her

with that whole beauty queen thing and...

She can be hard to read.

But I'm not kidding, they were very effusive.

-[both laughing] -Yeah.

I'm serious, though. They think you're perfect.

Well, Penelope sure doesn't feel that way.

What do you mean?

Come on. She's giving me stink eye.

The whole night! I mean, she totally hates my guts.

-You're jealous. -Ha! Ah, no, I'm not.

-I love it. Jealous of the maid. -I am not jealous of the maid.

It's actually really endearing.

-Goodnight, Penelope. -Hey, you...

[both laughing]

-[line ringing] -[voicemail beeps]

-[Grace]Leave a message. -Hey, hey.

I know you're probably asleep right now,

but I gotta tell you about these

weird Internet rabbit-holes I've been going down.

So it turns out little Jenny Whitby

used to be a child beauty pageant contestant.

One day, suddenly, poof, she just stopped competing.

And then way down the old discussion forums,

I found these posts by pageant parents

speculating about what happened to her,

and they have some whack theories.

I don't know.

Hey, call me back, okay? Love you.

[intense music]

[line ringing]

[cell phone ringing]

-You got my message. -[Grace] You're still up?

[May]I don't sleep when you're not here.

Just kidding. Anyway, listen to this.

I found these old archived pages on an unsolved mystery site.

-Okay. What does that mean? -They were scrubbed.

And only ninjas like me know how to find them.

-That's crazy. -No.

The crazy thing is it should've been a big missing

person's case all over the news, but it wasn't.

For some reason, the media didn't touch it.

Okay, bear with me for a second, but remember when Rob mentioned

his dad had stakes in a big media company?

Well, what if Papa Whitby pulled his weight

and squashed the story about his missing daughter?

-What? -Even more importantly, why?

[Grace]Okay, well, that's a bit far-fetched.

Or sus as hell. I told you, rich people are psycho.

Okay, they're weird, but they're not lunatics.

Just keep your head up, okay?

And call me back in the morning.

I will.

-[May]Love you. -I love you. Bye.

[eerie music]

What are you doing? Oh!

[Miriam] I thought you were Stephen.

He, uh, sometimes sleep-walks and wanders in here,

which is why we like to try to keep the door locked.

You're up late.

-Does Robbie snore? -No, he--

Oh, he will, just like his father.

Oh, Stephen sounds like a recycling truck.

How do you even put up with that?

[Miriam] When it's beneficial,

one finds ways to put up with all manner of unpleasantness.

[music continues]

Life is about making sacrifices.

Stephen's very taken with you.

You-you-you mean Rob?

Oh, of course. I've had too much wine.

It's definitely time for our beauty rests.

Tomorrow is a big day.

[beeping]

[eerie music]

Sweet dreams.

[Grace] Uh, thanks.

[sighs] Oh. Dammit.

Oh, boy. Mm.

What the hell?

[blender whirring]

-She has risen! -I'm so sorry for sleeping in.

-I don't know what happened. -Well, the house is very quiet.

-[Stephen] Isn't it? -Um, have you seen my phone?

-No. -That's so weird.

Well, I mean, you did have a little bit to drink last night.

-So... Yeah, come on. -I only had one.

This will cure what ails you, Gracie.

Stephen's patented hangover cure.

I'd actually just rather, you know, have a coffee.

It looks a lot worse than it tastes.

Down the hatch, sweetie.

[Rob] Seriously, it works like a charm. We all had one.

[Stephen] Doctor's orders, little lady.

[Miriam] Oh, yeah, it is too bitter to drink like that.

You must just down it all at once.

-Oh. Okay. -Mm, yeah.

[clapping] That's a good girl.

[both] That's a good girl.

-[Miriam] Ooh! -Oh! Mm...

Oh. Um, I'm just gonna go look for my phone.

I promised May I'd call her this morning, so...

Um, let's have breakfast first.

-All right? -I... Okay.

Weird.

[sighs]

[ominous music]

Hey, Penelope, have you seen my phone?

-I sure haven't. -Okay, look.

I'm sorry we got off on the wrong foot last night.

Feeling a little weird, like,

I might be coming down with something.

-Uh, do you know where Rob is? -Out.

Okay, I-I don't have the energy for this.

Can you, can you please just give me my phone?

That's beautiful.

Accuse the maid of stealing your phone. That's really classy.

I have to get groceries.

Face it.

-You're not his type. -What?

Quit trying to sabotage our relationship.

No, I-I'm not try-trying to sabotage your relationship.

I'm-I'm trying to warn you.

You aren't the first girl that he's brought here.

I mean, obviously, he's gorgeous.

I'm sure he's had tons of girlfriends.

He has, and they're all the same.

So he has a type. Who doesn't?

[Penelope] Y-you don't understand.

I mean, they look exactly the same.

But they're always one and done, he brings them here

for the weekend, and then I never see them again.

They are gone.

Thanks a bunch, but I think I'll take my chances.

Okay. Well, I tried.

You know, uh, my advice to you?

Don't get so drunk, especially at breakfast.

I'm not drunk.

Oh, God!

What is happening?

I don't know what you're talking about. She's perfect.

She seems perfect.

And she really likes me, too.

Of course she does.

It's more important that he likes her now.

He does!

Last night I found her rooting around Jenny's room.

And this morning

I found this inside her drawer.

How much does her roommate know?

May? Nothing.

She knows Jenny's missing.

This is why we target girls without families.

All it takes is one person to talk to one person,

and we lose everything.

Please.

Let's just give her a chance.

[sighs]

-I found you! -Jesus!

-Gotcha! -What are you doing?

You can't get away from the monster!

Stop it!

I thought you wanted to play.

-I'm-I'm not feeling well. -[Stephen] Oh.

Let me make you another smoothie.

No. No.

What's wrong, honey? Hm?

I, I just, I just need to get some...

I just, I just need to get some air.

[intense music]

[Stephen] Miriam!

[sighs]

Oh? Is everything all right, dear?

-Where is Rob? -Well, he went for a jog.

I-I just, I need to leave. I'm-I'm gonna go into town.

But everything's closed on the weekends.

[Grace] Then I'll, uh, I'm just gonna,

I'm gonna go for a drive.

-[door shuts] -[panting]

If you leave, you'll end up just like Tricia.

-What do you mean? -Just come back inside.

-You can't drive right now. -[panting] What is happening?

[groans]

[Stephen] Well, we need her docile and suggestible.

That's the important thing at this stage.

[Miriam] Oh. She's got a long way to go.

That was sloppy.

You were the one in charge of

micro-dosing her.

I was just guessing at her body weight.

[Miriam] Don't you remember what happened with Tricia

when you gave her too much?

You drugged me?

She's awake.

Sorry, kiddo, had to tie you down, keep you safe.

Don't want you breaking down doors and

running off into the woods.

Well, where are we?

You're in the salon.

Aren't you a lucky girl?

You're gonna get a complete makeover.

-Mm-hmm. -What?

[Miriam] We'll take care of everything.

Your hair, your nails, even your eyes.

Which are not easy, but Stephen's been

practicing on the apparatus.

[Grace whimpers]

[Grace] What is that? [Stephen] Oh, state of the art.

And it changes your eye color.

Well, your eyeballs, really.

-Permanently! You know... -[Grace whimpering]

We're going for gorgeous green.

-[Grace] What? -So you'll look just like her.

-Who? -[Stephen] Jenny.

See, our precious Jenny.

But we have lots of work to do. You're not quite ready yet.

Starting with this hideous top.

[sniffles, whimpers] No.

No, no, no! No, no, no! Please!

Please help me! Please! Help me!

[sobbing] Please...

-Rob! Rob! -[Stephen] Rob can't help you.

-No... -She's panicking.

Stephen, you're gonna have to knock her out.

-No, no! No, please don't. -Calm down.

-You're gonna hurt yourself. -[Grace] No, no, no...

-Please don't. -Hold still.

[sobbing]

No, no, no! Ah! No!

Oh. What's going on? Uh, where have you been?

Where have I been? Where have you been?

I went for a run, when I got back,

they told me that you got mad and left!

-[sighs] Just like Tricia. -What?

I really thought you were different.

What are you talking about?

What's wrong? Is it me? Why do you all leave?

Your parents tied me up and drugged me!

Grace, come on.

Yeah, you, you helped them.

You wanted me to drink that smoothie.

-No. I didn't! What? -You're in on it!

-Yeah, that is crazy talk, babe. -Back off.

Okay, I seriously need you to calm down and think about

what you're saying. It's insane!

[scoffs] Besides...

who the hell would believe you?

I mean, my parents are pillars of the community,

and you...

no, you definitely aren't.

You even tried to steal Jenny's necklace.

-No, I didn't-- -There are cameras everywhere.

Yeah, think about how bad that looks, hm?

Tsk. Your past is so unfortunate.

Runaway, dropout.

You even have a juvenile record for shoplifting.

-How did you know that? -Like I said...

My mom and dad are very connected.

-[Stephen] Rob! -She's in here!

Just go along with it.

[intense music]

Thank goodness. There you are.

Oh, no!

No! No! No!

Be gentle with her.

-No! Ah! -Stop fighting.

Hey! You don't wanna end up like the others.

-[shushing] -What others?

Let's get you to your bed. It's way past your bedtime.

[panting] No. May. May! May!

May will look. May will be looking for me.

-That's what they all say. -Oh, no, oh.

-No! No!

-Shut up! -No!

What the...

[sighs]

[cell phone chimes]

[instrumental music]

[Miriam] Up you get.

No.

I said, stand up.

I don't want to.

We told you that this apparatus

does very delicate, precise work.

But what we didn't tell you is that

with just a press of this button...

it's also capable of very blunt work.

Like, rendering one's face into a, an unrecognizable gumbo

of shattered bone and shredded meat.

Unless they do as they're told.

Now, walk to the corner and back.

And don't forget to smile.

[music continues]

[chair screeching]

[Miriam] Chin up. Not too high.

Cross one foot in front of the other.

Keep your head level, and turn.

No, no, no, no. Keep your core tight.

And step, step.

Turn.

No, no, no, no.

Keep your core tight.

How's my precious little contestant?

I can't work with this.

She's useless on this dosage, Stephen.

We need her docile and suggestible.

That's the important thing at this stage.

[sighs] I'm-I'm dizzy.

[Miriam] Oh. She's got a long way to go.

She'll get there.

-[groans] -Hey.

Come along, sweetness and light.

-Time for another nap. -[groans]

[clock ticking]

-[Stephen] Hello, sunshine. -Ah!

[panting]

-Down the hatch. -Huh!

-[sneezing] -[Miriam] Oh! Darn it!

Bless you. She didn't mean it.

-Did you, sweetheart? -What a mess.

-[sighs] -[Miriam] Ugh, come here.

All right, arms up.

-[Stephen] What is she wearing? -I...

-I'm sorry, Stephen, I-- -It's inappropriate.

Change her.

Whatever makes him happy.

[Miriam sighs]

Put this on and take the bra off.

So... you just do whatever makes him happy?

He knows, though, I'm not really his daughter, right?

[Miriam] Stephen's an entrepreneur.

He knows that if you invest strongly enough in an idea,

you can make it real.

But you can't bring someone back from the dead.

Jenny's not dead. She just has never been found.

So the search continues.

Rob said that there were others like me.

Like Tricia.

Mm. Playthings.

Fun for a while, till he grew tired of them.

What happened to them?

They failed to take direction.

What does that mean?

[eerie music]

No. No.

[groans]

[handcuffs clicks]

Look the part and play along.

Trust me, it gets easier.

[music continues]

Were you planning on calling me back, officer?

[man on phone]We looked into it, and your friend Grace,

she's got quite the colorful past.

Uh, I-I'm sorry, what?

She goes missing and you check her record?

She has a juvenile history of habitual truancy,

among other infractions.

What does that mean?

Grace was last seen with the man.

But how do you know he is who he says he is?

He's her boyfriend.

Well, the name you gave us didn't bring anything up.

I know, that's what I'm trying to tell you.

How about this, give us a call

if you don't hear back from her.

So you're not gonna do anything?

-[line disconnects] -[busy tone]

[music continues]

Bullshit.

[sighs]

[footsteps approaching]

Thirsty, baby girl?

Yes...

[clock ticking]

...daddy.

Ah. There she is.

[clock ticking]

Orange or green?

Orange.

[Stephen] Silly girl.

Let's try that again.

Orange or green?

-Green. -[Stephen] Tsk.

That's my girl!

-[metal clanking] -Oh!

[Stephen sighs] Ah.

Ah...

-Ah... -[Stephen chuckles]

[May] "Odonata Holdings."

Mm.

[laptop keys clacking]

-[dramatic music] -[May] Gotcha.

[intense music]

[chuckles]

Dragonflies are anthropoids

belonging to the insect order Odonata.

In folklore, they're known as keepers of the truth,

and they represent new beginnings.

I wish I could go to the pond and see a dragonfly soon.

Well, you're not ready for that yet, sweetie.

We can't have Penelope seeing you.

I was at the pond when I disappeared, wasn't I?

Yes.

Yeah, you loved going there to watch the dragonflies. Hm.

Can we go to the pond?

Pretty please?

Well, okay.

-Just this once. -Okay.

Okay.

[chuckling]

-Oh. -[sighs]

Hm.

All right.

[chuckles]

Stephen!

What are you doing?

Miriam, it's fine. She just wanted to see the pond.

[clears throat]

What happened after I disappeared?

Uh, Miriam went looking for you, but you weren't there.

But mom said she sent Rob to look for me.

I never said that. You must have misunderstood.

No, Rob was at his friend's house and he came home after me.

[Stephen] And then we all looked for you everywhere.

Enough about all this, it's time for you to drink your juice.

And don't make me ask you again.

But it hurts my tummy if I don't have it with food.

You drink it right this instant.

Miriam. Don't talk to her that way.

I'll get you a snack, sweetie.

[door opens]

What are you up to?

You're the one who told me to play along.

Well, you don't have to act like a spoiled, entitled brat.

[Miriam] Rob can easily find us a new Jenny.

He's gotten very good at it.

Now drink every drop.

-Oh! Ah! -[screams] Okay.

-What the hell're ya doing here? -Please.

Please don't make me go back

to them, they're crazy.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Calm down, calm down.

What are you, w-w-what are you talking about?

-It's them. -I thought you left.

-It's Miriam and Stephen. -Uh-huh?

They kidnapped me and they, they have been drugging me.

-[groans] -[Penelope] What? No.

It's Rob, he finds girls, and then, and then he bri-brings

them here. I should've listened to you. You are right.

-[car approaching] -[mumbles]

-[gasps] -Okay, all right.

Please, you have to get me out of here, please.

Yeah, okay. Um, come on, come on, come on.

[Penelope] Come on. Oh, shit. Come on, come on.

-[Grace panting] -[wind howling]

-Come on. -[car approaching]

Shit!

[car door shuts]

Go, go, go, go. Come on, come on!

-[groaning] -Go.

Penelope?

Mom? Dad?

[seatbelt clicks]

[birds chirping]

[ominous music]

[Rob] Dad?

Dad, where have you been?

Grace is gone. She's not in her room.

-I think Penelope took her. -[beeping]

-[Stephen] Who the hell is that? -[beeping]

[Grace groaning]

-Yeah. Oh. -Please, please, keep calm.

Dammit. Here, come on, come on.

What did you do to her?

Whoa! Whoa! Who the hell are you?

-Let her go. -No! No, no, no.

You don't understand, I just...

-[grunting] -[screaming]

Oh, God! No, my eyes!

[groans]

-[grunts] -Ah!

[grunting] I knew you were a dirtbag.

[Rob] Shut up! I could snap your neck.

-[May groaning] -Sweetness, you're safe.

[eerie music]

I'm so disappointed.

[sobbing] I'm so sorry.

[Miriam] Your mom knew how to mind her own business

and she said you would, too.

In exchange, I promised to look after you.

I won't tell.

-I-I-I swear I won't. -Oh, you swear?

-[Penelope] Yes! -You swear?

[Penelope screaming] No!

[thudding]

[grunts]

[ominous music]

-[grunts] -[intense music]

[sighs] Just don't hurt May.

Oh, I would never hurt you.

And no one will ever take you away from me again.

She's... uh, my best friend.

[sighs]

[Stephen] You're my best friend, too.

[shushing]

Do you have any idea how much I've sacrificed

to make this perfect life?

People think Stephen is the brilliant investor.

But he couldn't do any of it without my guidance.

Everything we have is because of me.

Penelope almost ruined it all.

That's why she had to die.

You're not gonna ruin it for me either, Grace.

Do you know why?

Why?

Because I have your little friend.

May's alive?

I'll refrain from using the apparatus on her

as long as you can show me

that you can be the most perfect little Jenny we've ever had.

Do you think you can do that?

Yes.

Don't fuck up.

[intense music]

-[door lock beeps] -[door opens]

[door shuts]

[cutlery clinking]

[Grace] That was delicious. [Stephen] She's right.

[Stephen] You've done a remarkable job

picking up the slack in the kitchen without any extra help.

[Miriam] Thank you for the compliment.

Mom's cooking is way better than that old Nelope's.

She tried to take me away.

Yes, she did. And that's why she's not here anymore.

Where did she go?

She had a bad car accident, didn't she, Rob?

Sure did.

She spun off the road, tree smashed through the windshield,

got her right in the face.

Let's not talk about that at the table.

What happened to that girl in the woods?

Oh, you won't be seeing her again.

But I-I thought she was nice.

I thought maybe we could have a play date.

[chuckling]

Your sister's quite the cut up, isn't she, Rob?

No, she's a natural performer.

Speaking of performing, I think it's time for a show.

-What do you say? -Yay!

[Stephen] Well, let's get ready then.

Robbie boy!

Why don't you clear the table tonight, hm?

[claps] Ready?

[upbeat music]

The dress is extraordinary, Miriam.

[music continues]

[music continues]

[no audio]

-Oh. -Uh-uh! Not for you.

[chuckles]

[Stephen] Ginger ale for the little lady.

-Hm. Cheers. -Cheers.

I love this house and the yard.

Is it really all ours? Every bit of it?

[Stephen] It sure is.

And what's on the other side?

Oh, just forest in all directions, sweetie.

Nobody around for miles.

Hey. What's the matter?

It's just so beautiful.

You know what else was beautiful?

Your performance tonight.

You learned so much in so little time.

-Didn't she, Miriam? -She's a quick study.

Did I do good, mama?

Oh, you did so well

that I think you deserve this.

[gasping]

-She's ready? -I think she is.

Oh.

[Miriam] And tomorrow

we'll complete your transformation.

Spa day tomorrow.

Ah.

Yay!

Night, sweetie.

[Grace] I love you, mommy and daddy.

Goodnight, big bro. I love you.

Goodnight, Jenny.

[Stephen] Bye, sweetie.

-[Grace] Daddy? -Mm-hmm?

-Can we do a story? -[Stephen] Sure.

[door shuts]

[Grace] But not a book.

Can I tell you a story?

[Stephen] Oh.

Once there was a little bird

named Grace.

And her bird daddy died,

and her mommy pecked her with her sharp beak

and wouldn't let her leave the nest.

But one day Grace tried to fly away,

but her wings wouldn't work,

and she fell into the streets that were cold

and-and wet and dirty.

But then,

she met a mouse named May...

who was sort of like a mommy.

She was...

brave and, and scrappy...

and she protected Grace when no one else would.

Then Grace...

was really, really sad...

because she wanted to thank May...

for everything she did for her.

[sniffles] The end.

Now that reminds me of a story about another lost bird.

The wind blew her away,

and her daddy bird never got to say goodbye.

And he would give away everything he had

just for one chance to say he's sorry.

He would give it all away?

He doesn't deserve it anymore.

I'll try to arrange for you a visit with your mouse friend.

She's in the salon.

But I can't promise anything.

You know what mommy's like.

Mm.

Mm, hm.

[door opening]

[door shuts]

[ominous music]

[music continues]

[Rob] Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Sneaky, sneaky.

I actually was coming to find you.

I miss you.

Really?

Yeah. Really.

I was waiting until your parents were asleep,

and then I was gonna come to your room.

What for?

Well, tomorrow I become your sister.

And I was hoping for... one last night

as your girlfriend.

-I like the sound of that. -Hm.

On our first day, you promised me

a little splash in the Jacuzzi.

This might be our last chance.

Perfect.

[eerie music]

[music continues]

Let me warm you up.

Wait, I...

I can't go in there with this thing on.

Don't worry, Dad's thought of everything.

It's waterproof.

[water splashing]

I've missed you, too, Grace,

ever since you started becoming Jenny.

What happened to all the other Jennies?

Oh, you don't wanna know.

Yes, I do.

[water bubbling]

Where do you dump them?

Who told you about that?

-Your mom. -Of course she did.

Just tell me.

-Who were they? -You really wanna know?

Yes.

[Rob] They're nobodies.

Carefully chosen.

Disposable.

Like you.

There is something a little different about you.

It's like dad really started to believe that you are Jenny.

And even mom seemed convinced.

That's when you started to hate me...

because you hated Jenny.

Daddy's little princess.

With her dumb little jokes.

You know, she knew that dad loved her more, and she

always rubbed it in.

Your mom said she sent you down to get Jenny for dinner,

and that she was playing by the pond, that the dragonflies...

I called her over to go swimming,

and she said, "We aren't allowed."

Please, Rob.

See, but I told her that we were allowed,

because mom said it was okay.

[groaning]

Mom told me to do it.

-[laughing] -Daddy! Daddy, please--

You know, mom hated her just as much as I did.

-[Grace screaming] -[water splashing]

I held her under there and just waited...

-[grunting] -[coughing]

[coughing]

What did he do?

He, he killed her.

-What? Who? -Je-Jenny.

-[ominous music] -[Grace panting]

-You! You-- -[Miriam] Stephen, no!

It was an accident.

-Uh.. -You knew?

You would have killed Rob if you found out.

Miriam, she knew, she covered it up,

and-and Penelope's mom helped her.

I knew that you could not live with the pain

of losing both children.

You never loved Jenny.

Rob was always your favorite.

They both hated Jenny.

Hey, shut up! You Liar!

You can't trust anything that comes out of her mouth.

She stole Jenny's gold necklace.

She's trash, just like all the others.

[Grace] None-none of the Jennies were good enough

for you, Miriam, were they? Not even the real Jenny.

Which is why you had Rob kill her!

You did, didn't you?

It's true.

Why are you even listening to her? She's a thief.

You're the thief! Huh? You stole my Jenny from me.

After all I've sacrificed for you

to give you this perfect life?

I don't want a perfect life!

-I want my daughter back! -Stephen, you're hurting me!

-Shut up! -Ah!

What have we done? All those poor girls.

They're dead because of you!

I loved you, Stephen.

But you never loved anyone but yourself!

-[grunting] -[groans]

-[Grace screams] -Oh, God.

-Uh, no. -[intense music]

What did you do? Oh...

-I thought you needed help. -Why is everyone so stupid?

[Rob] Is he dead? [Miriam] No.

Oh, but it's ruined. It's all ruined.

Mom, hey. Tell me how to fix it.

I want you to tell me how to fix it.

We have to clean this whole place up.

You have to tie up your father.

Just tie up your father, and let me think!

[intense music]

[panting]

May. May, oh, God! Okay.

[grunts] Uh!

Hey, we have to get to that car. Come on.

Listen, I'm gonna explain everything later, okay?

Just get yourself out of there. These people are dangerous.

No. This will kill him.

[Rob groaning] Help! Let me out of here!

No! Grace, we have to call the police.

[panting]

Did you really mean what you said?

That you would give it all away?

Every dollar in every account.

The house. The houses.

Do you really mean that?

[sobbing] I just want someone to be proud of.

Found my phone. My pepper spray.

And your wallet's in here, too.

Please, please, he, he just lost his whole family.

Yeah, you killed them. But don't worry.

I'll let them know it was self-defense.

No, no. D-don't call the police. We can...

We could turn this into something good.

Grace, you're okay now.

I'm here. I'll look after you.

That man is gonna go to jail, and he deserves it.

I don't need you to look after me, okay?

-Calm down. -No.

I am so sick of you smothering me.

I don't need you to protect me, okay?

I can take care of myself.

Are you out of your mind?

-Give me my phone now. -No!

I'm warning you.

I am not gonna let you ruin this for me.

A portion of every ticket sale
