(CREAKING)

You're not supposed

to be here.

You know better.

It's a beautiful night.

Share it with me.

You can get yourself back in.

(BEEPING)

You're mad.

- Birdie.

- Don't call me that.

We can skip your exercise.

You fit that in last night.

I was...

trying to talk to you.

I'm not interested

in that talk.

- Anna...

- No.

It won't change anything.

(DOORBELL RINGING)

(CHAIN CLATTERING)

Hey.

You must be Anna.

Who are you?

Oh, sweetie,

did he not tell you

that I was coming?

I'm the lawyer.

So your brother's

already approved these.

He's taken care of everything,

so when the time comes,

you won't have to make

any arrangements.

I just need a signature.

Anna, I'm here to help Conrad

get what he wants.

What he wants is for you

to be taken care of.

My mother had it too.

Not pancreatic, but...

I do know how hard it is.

And acceptance is only a choice

that you can make.

(HONKING)

Then I won't choose.

Submitted for your approval.

Today's offering:

Meatloaf.

LOAF:
Confirmed. Meat:

Jury's out.

Green beans almondine:

Nutty, beanie.

And the pice de rsistance?

Apple cobbler:

Sweet, tart.

Uh-huh.

Uh... it's...

it's really good.

This a bad time?

No, she was just leaving.

As soon as I get a signature.

(MUFFLED CRY)

(THUD)

- (PANTING)

- Okay, alright...

I got you.

Okay. Okay. It's okay.

(HUMMING)

(CRYING)

(HUMMING)

(BEEPING)

I don't know how I'm gonna

do this without you.

Ah...

I'll be with you.

You don't believe

in that stuff.

I'm not talking

about that stuff.

I'm talking about us.

What we've been through

together.

You're stronger now

because of it.

Hey...

you can't stay locked up

forever.

You have to get out

and be a part of the world.

I want to leave me alone.

That's not the way it works.

It's time to forgive Dad.

- Birdie...

- Stop.

I will never forgive him

for what he did.

Anna...

(BEEPING)

(LOUD BEEPING)

(CHIRPING)

(RUMBLING)

(HONKING)

- (DOOR CREAKING)

- I have terrible news.

Beef Stroganoff.

But there's a glimmer of hope.

Tater tots!

Maybe it's good.

He's not suffering anymore.

There's gotta be some kind

of relief in that, right?

You've been so strong

this whole time.

Never heard you complain.

Not once.

On this job, trust me,

it's rare.

(SNIFFLING)

It's not a relief.

Yeah... sorry,

that came out wrong.

All I mean is...

it's impressive, you know.

You're impressive.

So what's the plan, then?

Are you... gonna keep the place,

or...

What?

Are you gonna keep the place?

Oh, of course.

Where would I go?

No, it's just some people need

to leave in order to move on.

But... this is my home.

Yeah, okay.

Could you leave that easily?

You know,

I shouldn't have asked.

No. Could you?

Well... not everybody feels

so strongly about home.

Not everybody feels

like they have a home.

- Then why haven't you left?

- One guess.

Girlfriend.

No.

I haven't really made the best

decisions in that department.

Whoa.

That's your last reason

for not leaving, right?

Uh, I...

I...

I can't take this.

No, I have more than I know

what to do with, honest.

Take it.

Make your escape.

I'm sorry.

I just can't.

(PHONE RINGING)

(ANSWERING MACHINE): Hello.

You've reached

the Rook residence.

Conrad and Anna

aren't available right now.

If you leave a message,

I will return your call.

(BEEP)

(WOMAN):
Hey, Anna.

This is Charlotte.

I was just thinking about you,

and I wanted to let you know

how proud I am of you for,

you know, facing your fears,

and getting out there and

going to your brother's funeral.

Um, so I guess

I'll see you there.

Okay, bye-bye.

(BEEP)

Hey, Anna. This is Charlotte.

I know you've been struggling,

but you can do this.

I'll see you at the funeral,

sweetie. Stay strong.

(BEEP)

Anna, are you there?

Anna, please pick up the phone.

Look, the funeral's starting.

If you leave now,

you can still make it.

Please come.

I really hope you...

(BEEP)

(VEHICLE APPROACHING)

Hey, go around back.

And don't let anyone see you.

(DOORKNOB RATTLING)

(RAGGED BREATHING)

Alright, let's make this quick.

You know what to look for.

(THUMPING)

(KETTLE WHISTLING)

What's that?

Find her. Cut the phone line.

- (GLASS BREAKING)

- Ah!

She's upstairs!

What the hell?

You're not supposed to be here.

Please, stop looking at me.

Please, okay?

Explain it to me.

Why aren't you

at your brother's funeral?

You're Anna, right?

Okay, Anna...

I need you

to be straight with me.

I need to know

where you keep the money.

What are you doing?

Always be prepared.

I'm sorry, prepared for what?

This is f***ing crazy, JP.

We should just f***ing leave,

goddammit!

Use my name again,

why don't you?!

Go ahead!

There's nothing

on the scanner.

So... looks like

she didn't call anybody.

Did you?

You're an odd bird.

Look at me.

Three men break into your home

and you don't call the police?

I was scared.

I... didn't have time to think.

I have a solution.

Just a quick little love tap

behind the ear.

We are not doing that!

We are not doing that!

- Hey.

- Then we burn this f***er down.

F***ing Chri...

you gonna stop this sh*t?

Hey, go make some coffee.

- What?

- Go make some coffee.

Go.

Let the adults talk.

Ah, f*** it.

So?

We're not killing anyone.

Can I leave you alone with her

without making a mess of things?
