Come on, take it easy with that, will you? Have you heard anythi

Well, call me. - I will. - If you need anything, call me. - Give my love to Taylor. - Goodnight, Billie. - How's Billie? - I don't know. Weird.

inues) - I'm Parker. Your mailman. So... You must be the old man's kid. (Parker coughs) - I'm Billie Laidlaw. - Got your mail here. - Is there something else? - I'm the one that found him, you know? The old man was laying there all blue in the face. I knew he was dead right away, cuz' I got a military background. Just as friendly as the rest of the Laidlaws, aren't ya? - You knew my father? - I knew him. - Were you bothering Ms. Laidlaw? Was he bothering you? - Hey! Federal employee, you know? -

Who are you? - I'm Alex Blackman. I'm here about the will. - We should sit down. - I think we should. I know this is very difficult time for you. I want you to know that I'm sorry for your loss. I also want you to know that your father made sure that you're very well taken care of. This is his last will and testament. "I, Carroll Leslie Laidlaw, of this county, (becoming Mr. Laidlaw's voice) being of sound mind, do declare the following to be my last will and testament. My intention by this wil

l is to dispose of all of the property which I may own at my demise. I hereby make the following, specific gifts of property: $20,000 each to my personal staff. I bequeath the rest of my estate as follows: To my daughter Bilitis, one hundred percent of all property, stocks and bonds and other securities. Further, I name Bilitis Laidlaw as co-executrix of my estate, with the law firm of Calendar and Matheson. If she does not qualify for whatever reason, execution of my wishes shall revert to said

law firm. As for my daughter Harriet, I hereby leave in trust a monthly amount not to exceed $1,000 for her maintenance. The trust shall terminate should any of the following occur: In the event of Harriet's death. If any beneficiary named under this will contests this will, or any of its provisions, should such contests occur, I hereby revoke all share in my estate given to the contesting beneficiary. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this day." - I believe the auction h

ouse has contacted you. Yes. I've started packing. - I'm glad to hear that, Ms. Laidlaw. - Please... Call me Billie. My sister... Can I fight this? - Your father made his wishes very clear. - It's... It's just so unfair. - I think you need a drink. - Oh, I'm sorry. (glasses clinking) - Wow. This is very good scotch. - Daddy's private stock. (somber music) - So, what are you gonna do with all that lovely money? - I don't know. - Well, you're young. And you're rich. And you're free. - Hmm. Free. -

I know what I'd do. Oh, forget it. - Tell me. What? - No, really, forget it. - No, tell me. - Forget it, forget it. - I want to know what you were gonna say. - I should go. I should really go. I need to get back to the office. - Don't go. I could take you, I think! I think you're not as strong as you, as you look! (laughing) - No, you can't take me. (laughing) - I could take you, I could totally take you! - No! You can't even move me. - Yes I could, I just have to put my hand behind your back l

ike they do in the movies. - Yeah, well... - You're under arrest! - No, I was a two-time state champ. - Yeah... - I wrestled in college... I almost made the national team. (Billie groans) - Ah. Ah, ah ah! Oh my god! (laughing) - Just like that. It's so easy. Are you gonna be okay? Here? Alone tonight? - I saw her. Harriet. - Where? - I saw her at the funeral. - Well, do you think she'll contact you? I mean, the firm hired a private detective and we came up with nothing. - Come on. I'll show you

out. - Wow. You're freezing. - I'm fine. I'll see you tomorrow, Alex. - Okay. - Bye. - Goodnight, Billie. (door closes) (tense music) (disembodied, bestial growling) (growling continues) - [Laidlaw] (disembodied) Billie! (growling continues) (disembodied sound of children laughing) (growling and laughing continues) (laughter stops, growling continues) - [Harriet] Billie! (laughter resumes) Billie! (laughter continues) Billie! (growling resumes) (eerie music) (growling continues) (growling gets l

ouder) (disembodied laughter) (something banging against door) (disembodied moaning) (eerie music) - You know... All night we're talking about me. Now I want to talk about you. - How about that drink? - Okay. Here you go. - Thank you. You're really pretty when you smile. You remind me of this girl I used to know. When I was in school. She was sweet like you. - Obviously my father didn't tell you about me. Tell me what? - Mmmm. This is hard. Look, I'll make a deal with you, okay? - Mm-hmm. - If I

tell you something about me, then you have to promise to tell me something about you. - It's a deal. - I have a diagnosis. - What? - Oh, come on. I spent a lot of time in a hospital, which is my sweet little way of telling you I'm nuts. (Billie laughs) Well I'm glad you think it's funny. - No, it's not that, I swear! - What is it then? - I think we have a lot in common. - How so? - Look at me. I'm forty years old, I'm a junior partner, I'll probably never be more than a junior partner. I hate t

he law. And I don't want to be a lawyer. What I really want to do is sculpt. - You've got great hands. - You know... I hate money. You know, if my father was still alive I'd want to kill him. (laughter) - What about her? - Her? - Your sister. - Harriet? - Yeah. - Well... That's father, of course. I'm the little ugly one. And Harriet's the other. - Who's the ugly pooch? - "Gwyllgi". - Say that again? - Gwil-heeee. Gwyllgi. It's Welsh. - Looks like a giant mutt. - Yeah. Gwyllgi was special. A spec

ial crossbreed. He was the best hunter my father ever had. A real killing dog. We hated him. - We? - Harry... Harriet and I. He was vicious. - And your dad kept him anyway? - Oh yes. As I said, daddy loved that dog. - Well, what happened to him? He got killed in the road. - Was it something I said? - No, no. I had fun. Goodnight, Alex. - Goodnight. (somber music) (somber music continues) (somber music continues) - Hello. - Well... If it isn't the lady of the house. - How'd you get in here? Door

was open. You look good today, honey. - If you'll just give me the mail. (somber music) - Who are you? Why don't you put those down and let him out? You look awful! Your eyes are all puffy. You haven't been crying, have you? - You look beautiful. As always. - Thanks. - What are you doing here, Harry? - You know what I'm doing here, sugar. The king is dead. Long live us. - Why didn't you talk to me at the funeral? - I thought you saw me. - I did see you. - Sweetie, I have a little headache. Would

you mind going and making me a drink? - It's good to be home. - It seems so strange to hear you refer to this place as your home. - Well... - What? - Tell me about the will. - The will? - For Christ's sake, Billie, why else would I be here? - Oh. Right. Of course. How could I be so naive as to think you might want to see me? - Do you remember what you said the last time we saw each other? You said you never wanted to see me again. You said you hated me. You said I was the reason you tried to ki

ll yourself. - Stop! I wonder why you're so reluctant to tell me. What are you so afraid of? - I'm not afraid! Look, we'll try to fight it, okay? - Stand still and tell me. - It's a trust fund. I know it's awful. Father, he... - Don't! - Where are you going? - To my room. (mournful music) (mournful music continues) (knocking on door) (no answer) - Harry? Harry, please come out. I made dinner. Harry? (mournful music continues) (mournful music continues) (disembodied whispering) (mournful music co

ntinues) (mournful music continues) Didn't you hear that? - Hear what? - I... I heard something. - Maybe it was daddy. - Harry! - Are you all right? - Yeah. - Hey, where you going? Come back, Silly Billie. I guess I was kind of hard on you today, wasn't I? You always were the sweet one. I guess that's why you got all the loot. Daddy just loved you to death, didn't he? - Stop it. - Let's not fight. - You know I don't want that. - I guess it wasn't much easier being the one he did love, was it? -

You were right to leave. - Was I? Look at me. I'm a beggar, asking for crumbs. - Aren't you happy? - I have fun. Sometimes. What about you? - I just want it to have meant something. - You think too much. You always have. - Alex said that too. - Alex? - Alex Blackman, father's lawyer. - Do I sense a little romance between you and Mr. Blackman? - Look, um... He's nice. He... He understands how crazy this whole thing is, and you know, he's even concerned about you. - He's concerned about me? Really

? Why? - I told him I wanted to fight it. - And? - Well, um, I... I don't know, really. I told him it wasn't fair. I don't know, Harry, it's all this legal stuff, and I... I just I don't know if there's anything we can do about it. - You could fuck him. - God, Harry, no! - Don't you want to help me? - Well, yes, of course I do. - Look... I'll try. Okay? Just leave Alex out of it. - You're in love with him. - We just met! You can stay here as long as you like, okay? - Oh, thanks. How generous. (s

omber music Be careful with that knife, sweetie. It looks sharp as a razor. (chopping vegetables) - You still dancing? - I quit. - Harry, why do you always do that? You were good. I got injured. - I see. - You still taking those night classes? Sometimes. - Think you might graduate one day? - So where'd you get that southern accent, anyway? - I've been places you wouldn't even visit. - Oh, how can you be so sure? (chopping) - You haven't changed a bit. - And neither have you. Obviously. Still nee

dling me. - You know what's funny? I've missed you. Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye. It's like I'm fourteen all over again, being here with you like this. - I was scared of everything then. And didn't I protect you? - Yes. You did. But you couldn't protect me. - I tried. He was a selfish man. He was a terrible father. A real bastard. - Well, at least we agree on something. (laughing) (chopping) - Oh! - Oh! (Billie groaning in pain) - Oh, God... I'm bleeding. - Silly Billie!

Are you okay? - I'm fine. (whispering sounds) (eerie screaming sounds) (eerie screaming sounds continue) (mournful music) (eerie screaming sounds continue) (mournful music continues) (mournful music continues) - What are you, some kind of witch? - You have no business just walking right into my house. Your house? (scoffs) You wish. - Get out! - Hey! No reason to get upset. I'm just doing my job. - Then do it and leave. Please. Thank you. - You look very familiar to me. (mournful music) (mournfu

l music continues) - [Young Harriet] If you tell Dad, I'll kill you. - [Young Billie] I promise, Harry! Cross you heart and hope to die, stick a needle in your eye? - I'll take you and show you. - Is she pretty, Harry? - She's the most beautiful dog in the whole world. - Awww, she is pretty! Harry, she is! - Go ahead. You can pet her. (dog whimpering) - Where'd you get her? (echoing) - I found her in the woods. - Daddy says we have to stay out of the woods, it's bad! (echoes) - So what? I don't

care! (echoes) I am bad! (echoes) Bad... (echoes) - [Mr. Laidlaw] Gwyllgi!...Gwyllgi! (dog barking) (Mr. Laidlaw laughing) (bestial roaring) Gwyllgi! Heel! We'll get you another puppy. (eerie screaming sounds) - [Alex] What's in the basement? Come on, calm down. Calm down. - You gotta go down, we gotta go down and check it! - You stay here... You stay here. You've been through enough. - It sounded like dogs. And then something being torn apart. Being ripped apart. - I'm sure it's nothing. I'll g

o look. I'll go look. - Okay, I'm gonna go with you. - No... No, you're gonna stay here. You're gonna stay here. I'm gonna go look, if I'm not back in ten minutes call 911, okay? - Alex, don't tease, please! Be careful, okay? - I'll be fine. (mournful music) (mournful music continues) Calm down. - You didn't find anything, did you? - Did you really expect me to? - Well. What a cozy little arrangement. - Where were you? I've been looking for you everywhere. - Out. He seems smitten. - We're friend

s. That's all. - You better be careful. He's pushing forty. You know what they say about men at that vulnerable age. - I like him. - I know how you get when you get too involved. - Yeah... You fuck it up, and I wind up in restraints. - Honey, you're fragile. - I am not fragile. - Mm-hmm - Something's going on here. I don't know what it is. - I just think it might be time for you to take another one of your cures. - You're pathetic. - Where are you going? - Don't wait up. I don't know. I used to

think it was the way dad treated her. - [Susie] Shit, look at what he did to you! - She doesn't know about any of that. Nobody does. Except for you and the rest of the group. And Dr. Gailey, of course. - I say you give her the heave-ho. - I'm hearing things again. What kind of things? - It's... It's different, it's... It's not like when we were in the hospital. I don't know. It's real. - What's real? - The noise is... It's not in my head. It's... It's like it's really there, and I can hear his c

laws. Click... Click... Click... Click. - Maybe you should call Dr. G. (groans) - No... Don't listen to me. Remember, I'm crazy. (glasses clink) (laughter) I'm gonna give it away. - Who's getting lucky? - Shared Planet Coalition. It's a small animal rights group. That's the only way I can start over. - You're not gonna tell her? - Yeah. I have to. And soon. - Oh, she's not gonna like it. You better watch your back. - Tell me something, Mr. Blackman. - Do we have to be so formal, Ms. Laidlaw? - I

want to ask you something, Alex. - Ask me anything. I have nothing to hide. (chuckling) - Did you like my father? Don't lie. - No. Your father was a snob. There. - Did I tell you you could touch me? (footsteps) - Hi, Alex. - Hi, Billie. I want you to stay away from me. - You kissed me. (mournful music) (mournful music continues) (footsteps approaching) - I thought I told you to stay the hell out of here. - [Parker] I don't listen so good, huh? - What do you want? - What you want: more. - And I

should care because? - I saw you. - Excuse me? - You heard me. - No I didn't. Say it again? - I said... I... Saw... You. - You saw me, so what? - You ever done time, beautiful? - No. - I love the movies, don't you? I especially like those girl prisoner movies where the chicks get it on. You ever see that one, the one with Linda Blair from "The Exorcist"? - Yeah. I saw it. Let me tell you something, mister. I don't have any money. So whatever kind of scheme you're cooking up in that fevered, slim

y, inbred, pea brain of yours, ain't gonna work. - Let me tell you how it's gonna go. You're gonna get me fifty-thousand bucks, and if you don't, I'm gonna turn you in for murdering your father. (Harriet laughs) - [Billie] You shouldn't hate me. - Stop wiggling! You'll mess me up. I just want half the money, that's all. - You talk about it like it's sacred. - Spoken like the chosen one. - You know, Harry, he just wanted to keep me quiet. That's all there was to it. He just assumed that I... But

you know what they say? To ASSUME makes an ASS out of U and ME! - What are you talking about, Billie? - We're gonna be okay. We're gonna make it all better. Okay? (pulsating music) Don't worry about anything. I'm going to sleep. Gotta lie back... (pulsating music continues) (pulsating music continues) (panicked breathing) (pulsating music continues) (panicked breathing continues) (pulsating music continues) - I need that money tonight, sweetheart. - And I told you, I don't have any money! - I'll

go to the cops. - So? - I have proof! - Of what? - Do you know what they do to father killers in this state? (Harriet laughs) Let me show you something... - I don't see anything. - It's a hair! - So? - And I'm willing to bet when they do that little DNA test that it's gonna come out canine. - Come back tonight. - I'll get you your fifty. - Well it's almost four o'clock, so you'd better get your fine ass down to that bank, quick. (footsteps leaving) - Your blackmail money is on the table. - [Par

ker] Better a blackmailer than a murderer. - Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. (groans) (coughing and groaning) (bestial growling) (mournful music) (bestial growling) (mournful music continues) (mournful music continues) (mournful music continues) - [Susie] What happened? - I don't know. I woke up this morning and I went downstairs and there he was. - Where's Harriet? - I don't know. She's gone. - But the police were here? - Yeah. And the paramedics, and I've been calling Ale

x all morning. His secretary isn't even bothering to be nice anymore. He's "in conference". - Never there when you need him. - I'm so scared. It was awful. I thought that he... I thought that he just fell. But he was really cold. I realized he was dead, and I kept thinking of my father. I don't understand, Susie, why is all this happening? - When can you leave? - I've got to settle everything first. - And? - Alex is gonna draw up some papers, transferring the money to the Shared Planet Coalition

. Something about capital gains and gift taxes, I don't understand any of it. - It's Harriet, you know? She hates you, I think she's behind all of this. - No, there's no way. Look... This isn't helping. I've got to believe that Harry and I can be friends eventually. - Think about it! You're getting all of his money and she isn't. - I know that, and it isn't fair and I'm trying to fix it. - She's involved! I can feel it! - How the hell can you say that? Who the hell do you think you are? - Look,

I don't have to listen to this anymore. Get out of here. - Come on. - Go! You need to go now. Leave. - Are you serious? - I don't want to see you anymore. Get out. - Fine. Don't call me when you need somebody to talk to, don't call me when you hear dogs click click clicking. Just don't call me. (pulsating music) (disembodied voice) Think about it! You're getting all of his money and she isn't. - (disembodied voice) This isn't helping! - (disembodied voice) She's involved! I can feel it. - (disem

bodied voice) Who the hell do you think you are? Who the hell do you think you are? (repeats) (disembodied voice) Get out of here. (disembodied voice) Go. You need to go now. (tires screeching) (tense exhale) - It's just a cat. Ugh. (tense music) (tense music continues) - [Alex] My grandfather was kind of mean. And I always thought my grandmother was mean and she didn't like me, but... There was this time when my grandmother gave me this bowl, and had some, some food scraps in it, I don't know,

some mashed potatoes or something. And she said: "Go throw this in the river", and I had learned to take everything she said literally. So I'm thinking throw the bowl in the river, which is exactly what I did. I went out to the bridge and tossed it over, watched it fall and hit the water and break on a rock, and then I went back home, and this is a short walk, maybe a couple hundred feet. And I went in the door and my grandmother's looking at me and she's saying where's the bowl? And I said, "Gr

andma, you told me to throw it in the river, so I did!" And she told me how it had been in our family for generations, and I really thought, like, I was gonna get a whipping. But this was one time where she just really surprised me and was really kind and actually came over and gave me a hug and said it was okay, because I think she really saw how upset I was that I had done something and felt so stupid. And, um... I don't know, I just... I'll never forget that. Yeah, she was strict. But she had

a really kind heart. And I really loved her. And I miss her. - Anybody ever tell you you talk too much? - What's with you tonight? - Come on, you don't look like the kind of boy who'll put up a fight! That's right, sugar. Reeee-lax! There's something you have to do for me. - Billie... She's already like a ripe peach, just waiting to fall into the palm of my hand. And I'm gonna take care of that mailman, too. - He had an unfortunate heart attack. - Exactly! - Don't tell me you're developing emot

ions for that twit. - Hey, she's not a twit. - I'm only thinking about you, baby. It would make it so much more difficult, you know, later. It's all downhill from here. (ominous music) Who loves you? - You do. - And who do you love? - Only you, baby. (ominous music continues) (ominous music continues) (phone dialing) Come on. Come on! (phone dialing) (phone ringing) - Hello? - Billie, its Alex. Are you there? - Where the hell have you been? I've been trying to reach you for the past seventeen ho

urs! - Sorry, my grandmother died. - Oh, shit. I'm sorry, Alex. What else is wrong? - Aah, I'm not good enough for you. - What? - I'm a slut. - I feel forewarned. - I'm weak. - We like each other's company. It never has to go any farther than that. - Billie, I want you to marry me. (chuckling) I think you must be drunk. - God dammit, Billie, I'm asking you to marry me! - Alex... No, I'm not gonna marry you. - That's what I figured. - Look, you're drunk... - Good night. - Want to play hide-and-se

ek? - [Billie] I don't like hide-and-seek. - [Harriet] Yes you do! - Please... No, I don't want to, Harry. - Please! One, two... - Three, four, five, six... - Please! - Six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Eleven, twelve... I mean it, get going! Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty! Twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four... Thirty! Thirty one... Thirty-two... Forty! Fifty! Fifty-one... Sixty-one! Sixty-two... Sixty-three... Sixty-four... Seventy! Ninety! Ninety one

... Ninety-five... Ninety-six... Ninety-seven... Ninety-eight... Ninety-nine... One hundred! Ready or not... (ominous music) (ominous music continues) - Harry? Harry? Someone's at the door. (ominous music continues) (whispering sounds) Oh God, I'm glad you're here. Do you know what a barghest is? - [Alex] A what? - Barghest. It's a demon. It's a dog the size of a calf, with giant sharp teeth and huge claws. Legend goes if you look the barghest in the eye, you die. I think my father and Parker, t

hey... They saw the barghest. - You're kidding, right? - Alex... I know it sounds crazy, but I also know what crazy feels like and this is totally different. - You need a drink. - Harry's the one that's doing it, Harry's behind the whole thing. - Okay. - Alex, I know how it sounds, I'm asking you to believe me. - Believe what? That your sister's a demon dog and anybody that looks it in the eye will die? - We did a terrible thing when we were children. When my father used to take Gwyllgi bird hun

ting, to keep him from eating the birds that my father shot as specimens, he would take baby rabbits and throw them in the pen before they left. It was... Brutal. We both figured that it would be best if I was the one who got the rabbits to run towards the road, and Harry would take care of opening the dog's cage. The trucks came by the house at the same time every day on their way to the mill. It all worked out exactly the way that Harry said it would. I didn't think that I would care. But when

the truck hit him, it took him so long to die. And Harry... Harry, she watched the whole thing right up close. We knew there would be consequences. I tried to tell my father that it was me. He thought it was all Harry's doing. Couldn't talk to him when he was like that. - I'm worried about you. Don't you know why I came over here? I want to take care of you. And I want you to let me. - Alex... Don't... I can't. - I'm gonna get you a drink. We'd make a great team. I want you to think about that.

You and me against the world, baby. (tranquil music) (tranquil music continues) (shaking martini) (shaking martini) (ominous music) (bestial growling) - [Harriet] Hello, Alex. What are you up to? - [Alex] I... I didn't know you were here. - Obviously. - Come on, what? - You're veering away from the plan. - No I'm not! - (singing) You'll never get her to marry you! - You don't think so? (Harriet laughs evilly) Come on baby, we got to work fast before she gives all that money away to those cow hu

ggers. - See that? There you go, veering again! (bestial growling) - Baby? - There's only one way out for you. You know what I'm talking about. One... Way... Out. (screeching music) (disembodied groaning noises) (screeching music) (screeching music continues) (screeching music continues) (tense music) - [Billie] Alex? (tense music continues) Alex? (tense music continues) Alex? What are you doing in there? Alex? (screaming) (intense music) (groaning) (disembodied laughter) (Billie hyperventilatin

g) (eerie music) - [Disembodied Voice] Billie... Where's Billie? Billie! (disembodied laughter) (screeching music) - Why? (mournful music) - I begged him to help me, that last night. And he said no. So I asked him straight out: why don't you love me? Don't! Don't come any closer. I have to finish. I told him what we did. To Gwyllgi. He still didn't want to believe about you, his precious Billie. And then it just happened. - What happened, Harry? - It was inside me. - It? - You know damn well. He

looked at me and closed his eyes and died. - There's so much that you don't know. You didn't have to do this, Harry. - I woulda killed you! - No! No... (screeching music) (disembodied) No! No! No! (mournful music) (sobbing uncontrollably) No! (mournful music continues) (somber music) (somber music continues) (somber music continues) (somber music continues) (somber music continues)
