Dwelling Page #3

---

do this forever, Ellie.

At some point you have to stop living

in the darkness and just start living.

I'll find my answer.

That's why we're here.

But how far are you

willing to go?

That's what scares me.

Mom?

River. Don't come any closer!

Whatever happens tonight,

I want you to remember

what I told you...

[scribbling]

[woman whispering]

I can hear you breathing...

River, make her go away...

[woman] I wrote a

letter to my mother...

[gasping]

[tap tap]

[tap tap]

[blade clicks]

Well, when will she

be calling?

It's already taken care of.

I have just the thing.

[Gavin] Yay!

[clapping]

Did you make a wish?

Yes, but I'm not telling.

All right, Izzy, how big

of a piece do you want?

Okay, you're getting

two pieces then.

[kazoo fanfare]

Princess Peanut and her dames

of the royal table!

I, Prince Humperdinck,

have a gift.

Why thank you, my liege.

Oh, and this.

Now you can be

just like Uncle Gavin.

- [laughing] What do you say?

- Thank you, Uncle Gavin.

Now back to the throne to feast and

make a mess of your new dress.

[phone ringing]

Hello? No... yeah,

she's right here.

I'll put her on.

It's Mommy.

Hi, Mom.

Happy birthday, peanut!

When are you coming back?

You know I can't answer that.

Izzy, I... I want you

to think back to

the moment when we had

to say goodbye to each other.

I see us, Mommy.

And what happened next?

You touched my cheek...

What did you hear?

The door close.

But did you see me leave?

No.

I'm always with you, Izzy.

Love is stronger

than anything.

You can open your eyes now.

I wrote a letter

to my mother

On the way

I dropped it

And one of you

has picked it up

And put it in

your pocket...

Not you...

Not you...

But you!

[laughter]

Not you...

Not you...

Not you...

Not you...

Not you...

Not you...

Not you...

Not you...

Not you...

[Ellie] Gavin?

- Gavin!

- Hold on, peanut.

What's up, El?

What happened?

That's a nasty looking rash.

Oh, It's been like that

since last night.

Maybe it's something

in the house?

I don't know.

Maybe you should take

that off for a while?

You're probably right.

[camera shutter]

Very funny.

All right, where's

she sleeping?

She doesn't sleep.

Why's that?

Then she can't watch you.

Then maybe we can put her

on guard with Grendon?

Amara doesn't like Grendon.

Amara doesn't like any of them.

Who?

My new friend.

Where'd you hear

that name, Izzy?

She told it to me.

Ask her yourself.

Maybe tomorrow...

[tap tap]

[banging]

[door squeaking]

I don't like that sound.

Where's it coming from, Izzy?

No, the mirror.

[water running]

Izzy, do you know

who did this?

Amara. She's playing.

I told Uncle Gavin

she doesn't sleep.
