Tatum
Sloane, you have to help me.
Sloane
I don’t want to talk right now.
Tatum
Look, I’m sorry Mom and Dad kicked you out…
Tatum
But you know they did it for your own good, right?
Tatum
Your counselor said that the only way to help an addict…
Tatum
Is to cut them off completely.
Sloane
Don’t defend them to me.
Tatum
Sloane, I know we’ve never been super close…
Tatum
But I think I did something terrible.
Tatum
And I really need help.
Sloane
Well now you’re freaking me out…
Tatum
You know that sleepwalking problem I have?
Sloane
Of course. You’ve been doing it your whole life.
Sloane
And you never remember ANY of the weird things you do.
Sloane
So what’s up? Did you sleepwalk again?
Tatum
Yeah. But this time…
Tatum
There’s a knife on my bedside table.
Sloane
Because it’s not funny.
Tatum
I wouldn’t joke about something like this.
Tatum
Sloane, I’m so scared.
Tatum
And I don’t know what to do!
Tatum
I think I’m alright…
Tatum
It doesn’t seem to be my blood.
Tatum
Which makes me worry about Mom and Dad.
Tatum
I haven’t left my bed yet…
Tatum
And I have no idea if they’re okay!
Tatum
I was hoping this was all a nightmare.
Tatum
But I’m awake. This is real.
Sloane
Okay, Tatum. Don’t panic.
Sloane
We’re going to get through this.
Sloane
But you have to listen to me.
Sloane
I need you to get up…
Sloane
And go to Mom and Dad’s bedroom.
Tatum
But what if they’re dead?!
Sloane
Then lying in your bed isn’t going to change that.
Sloane
And what if they’re fine?
Sloane
And you’re worried over nothing?
Tatum
Okay, I’m getting out of bed.
Sloane
You’re doing the right thing, Tatum.
Tatum
I’m opening my bedroom door…
Sloane
That’s good. What do you see?
Tatum
There are bloody footprints in the hall!
Tatum
I’m going to be sick!
Tatum
What if I hurt them?
Sloane
Take a deep breath, Tatum.
Sloane
In and out. In and out.
Tatum
I’m breathing. It’s helping…
Sloane
Good. Now, keep walking.
Tatum
Alright. I’m going closer…
Tatum
Their bedroom door is open.
Tatum
They always sleep with it closed…
Tatum
And the house is so quiet!
Sloane
Now, go inside their room.
Tatum
I’m looking inside now.
Tatum
There’s blood everywhere!
Tatum
Their comforter is soaked in it!
Tatum
I’m scared to get too close…
Tatum
But they’re not moving.
Tatum
And Mom’s face looks really pale!
Sloane
You’re going to have to go closer to check.
Tatum
I can’t. I feel faint…
Tatum
I think I’m going to pass out!
Sloane
You have to do this, Tatum.
Sloane
We need to be sure.
Tatum
Okay. I’m going closer.
Tatum
I’m peeling back the comforter…
Tatum
They’ve been stabbed!
Tatum
Sloane…I think they’re dead!
Sloane
Are you sure they’re not breathing?
Tatum
Yes. I checked their pulses.
Tatum
I killed our parents, Sloane!
Tatum
Mom and Dad are gone…
Tatum
And I’m going to jail for the rest of my life!
Tatum
How could I have done this?
Sloane
You didn’t mean to, Tatum.
Sloane
You have a disorder.
Sloane
You never know what you’re doing when you’re sleepwalking.
Tatum
That doesn’t change the fact that they’re dead!
Sloane
I’m going to help you through this.
Sloane
I’ll sell everything I have and I’ll get you the best lawyer in town.
Tatum
I don’t deserve that, Sloane.
Tatum
I killed our parents!
Sloane
Tatum, I’ll always be there for you.
Sloane
I’m on my way over now…
Sloane
We’ll deal with this together.
Tatum
I don’t know what I’d do without you, Sloane.
Sloane arrives at the house.
She stares inside their parent’s bedroom…
A look of shock on her face.
Sloane
We need to call 911.
Sloane
I know you are. I am too…
Sloane
But we’ve already waited too long.
Tatum nods, then dials 911 with shaky fingers.
911 Operator
911, what’s your emergency?
Tatum
I — I killed my parents.
Paramedics and police officers storm into Tatum’s house.
Sloane directs the paramedics upstairs…
While Tatum tells the police officers everything that happened.
The police officers handcuff Tatum.
An officer is pushing Tatum out of the house…
When suddenly, there’s a flurry of raised voices from upstairs.
Paramedic
We have a pulse!
Sloane
What does that mean?!
Tatum
Is one of them alive?!
Police Officer
Keep it moving. Everyone outside.
Tatum
Wait! I need to see what’s going on!
But the officer drags her outside…
While another officer guides Sloane outside behind them.
Just as Tatum is getting into the back of a police car…
The paramedics push a stretcher out of the house.
Is Tatum and Sloane’s mom.
Tatum ducks under the police officer’s arm…
And runs to her mother’s side.
Tatum
I didn’t mean to hurt you!
Tears spill down Tatum’s cheeks.
But Tatum’s mom shakes her head.
Tatum
I’ll understand if you never forgive me.
The officers are yelling and pulling Tatum back.
Tatum
Stop! She’s trying to talk!
Tatum’s mom swallows hard…
Tatum's Mom
It wasn’t you.
Tatum sputters for words.
Tatum
W-What? What do you mean?
Tatum
I hurt you while I was sleepwalking.
But her mom shakes her head again.
Sloane
What?! No, that’s ridiculous.
Tatum's Mom
It was Sloane.
Tatum's Mom
That’s who attacked me and my husband.
She raises her finger and points at Sloane.
An officer handcuffs Sloane.
Instantly, Sloane’s face changes.
She levels a scowl at their mom.
Sloane
I should have made sure you were dead!
Tatum
Sloane! What are you saying?
Sloane
All of you abandoned me.
Sloane
It was easy to kick out the troublemaker, wasn’t it?
Tatum
Sloane, we love you!
Tatum
We wanted to help you!
Sloane
Help me, by getting rid of me?
Tatum
The counselors said that we were enabling you!
Tatum
That we needed to kick you out for your own good!
Sloane
I was just interrupting your perfect little lives.
Sloane
It was so much easier without me around, wasn’t it?
Shocked, Tatum sputters for words.
Tatum
So…you killed our parents?
Tatum
And then tried to frame me for murder?
Sloane
I would have gotten away with it, too.
Sloane
You’re always doing weird things when you sleepwalk.
Sloane
And you never remember them the next day.
Sloane
All I had to do was put the murder weapon on your bedside table…
Sloane
And cover you in a little blood.
Sloane
You confessed to the murders all by yourself!
Sloane
And Mom and Dad think YOU’RE the smart sister.
Tatum
How could you do this?
Tatum
To your own family?!
Police Officer
All right, ma’am. I think we’ve heard enough.
Tatum gapes as Sloane is put into a police cruiser.
But right before the door closes, Sloane says one last thing.
Sloane
None of you were there for me…
Sloane
So I decided you wouldn’t be there at all.
