The Invitation Page #3

Synopsis: Will and Eden were once a loving couple. After a tragedy took their son, Eden disappeared. Two years later, out of the blue, she returns with a new husband... and as a different person, eerily changed and eager to reunite with her ex and those she left behind. Over the course of a dinner party in the house that was once his, the haunted Will is gripped by mounting evidence that Eden and her new friends have a mysterious and terrifying agenda. But can we trust Will's hold on reality? Or will he be the unwitting catalyst of the doom he senses?

the hell is CHOI?

CHOI?

Is my a**hole boyfriend.

Said he was gonna be

early for once.

He didn't call you guys,

say he was gonna be late?

No. Come on. I thought he

was gonna come with you.

- Yeah, I...

- We haven't seen him.

All right, that's it.

I'm gonna try again.

Heh. Do you guys

have service up here?

Sorry.

Horrible.

And the bills fell through the

cracks while we were away.

We have to get them up here

and reconnect the landline.

I'm sorry, Gina.

Well, he usually calls

at least once.

You know what?

Your best bet

is gonna be

in the back actually.

Good luck, though.

Is everything okay, will?

Yeah. Yeah, why didn't you leave

the key in the door, though?

There was a home invasion up in

the canyon about a month ago.

- Oh.

- This couple got terrorized.

It was really sick.

Just kinda freaked us out.

I didn't hear about it.

Then I'm sure it never happened.

Yeah, come on, will.

Can't a man put himself

in lockdown if he wants?

This is America.

Okay, what if there was a fire?

Okay.

There you go.

Better?

I just keep the house

a little differently.

That's all.

It's my house.

Will, could you do me a favor

and go get some more firewood?

You know where we keep it.

Has he been like this a lot,

so agitated?

Sometimes.

Well, I'm glad he has you.

It comforts me.

I know he wants

the best for you, too.

I'm glad you're here, Kira.

I think it's important.

Can I ask you something?

How has he been handling things?

He can be

self-destructive.

I think he's doing

the best he can.

You're it.

You're it! Come on!

Come back to us

when you're ready.

I'm telling you.

Why are you doing it?

Because it's...

You're very dirty here.

- Am I?

- Yes.

And it's attention to detail

that is incredibly important.

It's my credo.

It's your credo?

It's a new... I came up

with it last night. Hey.

Why don't you go

back to bed, okay?

We'll keep...

We'll keep it down.

- Okay.

Okay. I love you.

Good night, baby.

Good night.

I love you, too. Night.

Good night, hon.

Mm.

And that'll be the time he saw

his gross parents having sex.

We are gross.

Mmm.

Do you think he needs a brother?

No! Oh, my...

They're in a cult.

No, no, stop.

We're not in a cult.

I know plenty of people

who do the invitation.

- You do?

- Yeah, yeah.

Eden, you guys really in this?

We are.

So that's why

you were in Mexico?

Did you get all naked

down there in the jungle?

Sometimes.

Well, I did.

Yeah, you did.

But, you know, it's just...

It's just a group of

people coming together.

You know, they all

have lost someone,

and then they...

They help each other.

You know, it's really a science

rather than, like, some weird
