No more f***ing games.

Get out now!

Maddie, I'm so sorry.

That was supposed to help.

Can I go home now?

After a traumatic experience,

the mind can have all sorts

of different reactions.

The visions you're having,

you've created subconsciously.

Like any phobia,

it's the brain's manifestations

that do the most harm.

This fear is the same.

I get what you're saying.

But this is different.

- What I'm seeing, it's...

- It's in your head.

I know you feel

what you're going through,

it's different.

But trust me,

I've seen it before.

You have episodes when you're

close to what you're afraid of.

That's normal.

It's your mind

personifying your fear.

Yeah.

We can deal with this together,

but I need you to embrace

what I'm telling you.

The longer you tell yourself

these visions are real,

the longer you're going to

struggle.

Do you really want

to go through life

taking your liquids

through a tube?

I know you've had a hard time

growing up without a family,

but you have one now

with your friends.

Don't let these issues

ruin those relationships.

Hello?

Hi, I'm looking

for Henley Jacobs.

So probably gonna go...

orange?

- Yeah.

- Yeah? Okay.

This is Butter. It's from

London.

So that's probably gonna blend in

well with the dress you're wearing.

Hi, you've reached Kobie.

I can't get to the phone right

now,

but just leave a message

and I'll get back to you.

Hey, Kobie.

You haven't returned my calls.

Please get back to me.

It's important.

Sh*t.

Hello?

Maddie?

What, you're not answering

your phone now?

Maddie?

Hey, talk to me.

I'm sorry about last night,

okay?

I'm just trying to help you

get past this.

I'll get past this on my own.

Maddie, please.

You're sick and you need help.

Stop saying that, okay?

Have you ever

even asked yourself,

"Maybe she's not crazy"?

I don't know, maybe that's

something a best friend

should at least want to

consider.

I was just leaving.

Maddie, please.

I'm sorry, okay?

Where are you going?

You wouldn't believe me

if I told you.

I'll do it.

Okay? I'll admit it.

Last night freaked me out.

I've been trying to and I

can't explain what happened.

You got me, okay?

What if you're telling the

truth?

Let me by, please.

Let me help.

Look, whatever you wanna do,

wherever you want to go,

no questions.

I promise.

Look, Maddie, I messed up, okay?

But just let me help.

Please.

Fine.

Okay, I'll drive.

Can you at least tell me

who we're meeting with?

His name is Henley Jacobs

and he knows something

that might be able to help me.

That's all you need to know.

Okay, Hannah, please just

don't make this difficult.

So what does he know?
