trouble. You are.

I'm not the one waving a
knife at someone.

I mean, what you goin'
to do with that?

Stab me?

I'll use this if I have to.

You don't have to. You
don't have to do anything
you don't want to.

I'm just saying, think about
what you're doing before you
do it.

Unlike me.

Man.

- DJ: You really messed
this one up, DJ.

- I just wanted us to be
together, Siena. That's all.

You and me,

you and her, all of us together.

But, one thing turned into
another,

and I decided to slow her
down a little.

God.

I think I'm going to burn
in Hell, Siena.

Yes. Yes, you are.

But first you're going to
rot in prison for poisoning
my mother.

Actually, I don't know
about that.

She's going to die, Siena.
- No! Don't say that.

I'm just telling you.
She's going to.

-DJ: She's not coming back.

- DJ: So now the question is,
when the police come,

they're going to want to know
if she poisoned herself out
of desperation

because the daughter that she
deeply loved coldly cut off
contact with her,

even on her wedding day,
wouldn't reach out to her.

Or was it someone else?

Maybe that very daughter
because she was keeping her
from the man she loved.

I don't-- YOU POISONED
HER! I know you did.
You did everything.

I didn't make you come here,
Siena. I didn't make you cut
off your mother.

-DJ: Cruel, heartless child.

Yes, you did.

You told me things.

What you wanted to hear, baby.

No. No! I love my mom.
I know I do.

Then why did you let a few words
turn you away from her?

- DJ: Honor thy mother and
father.

The bible tells us that in
plain language.

Honor them, but you didn't.
You just--

[ knocking ]
- MANN: Open up! Police!

She poisoned herself.

You tell them that she poisoned
herself,

or I'll tell them that you and I
did it together.

You're my accomplice and you'll
rot as long as me, or longer.

[ knocking ]
I said, open up!

-DJ: Tell them!

Or else I'll make this much
worse for you, Siena.

And that's a promise.

They'll believe me.

You know they will.

Everyone always believes me.

I'm a holy man.

-DJ: Now. Come on, baby.

[ knocking ]
-MANN: This is your last
warning!

-DJ: Give me the knife.

Okay.

-DJ: Good girl.

-No do as I say.

[ knocking ]
-MANN: Open this door or
it's coming--

Siena, are you alright?

He has a knife. He's trying to
kill me and my mom.

Now, hold on. Give me
just a minute!

-SIENA: My mom needs help!

-MANN: Get her a paramedic, now!

We need a paramedic, STAT!

Detective Mann! Detective Mann!

Eddie, tell her how good I was
to your mother when she dying.

Eddie, tell her!

Dang, reverend.

You have the right to shut your
damn mouth, reverend.

- SIENA: Mom. Mom.
Please, come back.

Mom.

[ whispers ]
Siena?

Siena?

Siena?

Siena?

Yeah.

You're awake.

-TRISH: Oh, baby.

I missed you so much.

I missed you, too.

-Come here.

-TRISH: That kinda hurts.

Oh no. It doesn't hurt
that much.

Oh God.

Mom?

-Yes, baby?

Can we--
- get the hell out of Brightside?

Absolutely.
