Wayward

Hello, Harper.

Oh. Well, it's almost a little high school reunion.

Where is Laura?

I want to see her.

Laura! Evelyn's here to see you!

I was gonna bring flowers or baked goods,

but I thought… I thought that might, uh… …annoy you.

Where's Alex?

I thought he'd be glued to your side with the baby coming so soon.

He'll be here.

Today we mark the passing of our former selves.

If anybody would like to say a few words, be my guest.

Leila.

I'm good.

Back to work.

A little bit faster, please.

I see what you're building here.

What am I building?

A movement.

I was alarmed at first, but then I realized,

in a way, this is exactly what I hoped for.

This is the path I laid out for you.

Oh, Laura, you have so many wonderful qualities.

But you also have this…

this… immense darkness.

And you would have passed that onto this baby

if I hadn't… cauterized that… that vein.

But you can't cauterize everyone who wants to have a child.

This place is evolving, and it's leaving you behind.

Why did you come here today?

Alex.

What about him?

He is… tormented.

Fear, insecurity, anger,

violence.

His tight little fists and twitchy little face.

I knew it the moment I met him.

Let me leap him.

To protect the baby.

Then we can… start fresh.

"We"?

If you lay a hand on Alex, I swear to God, I'll kill you.

Well…

it's already in motion.

Harper!

-Hi. My name is Michael. -My name is Bree.

It's so nice to meet you.

-Pleased to meet you. -Pleasure.

-Shall we? -I'm, like… Okay! Okay.

Yeah. Go on.

I didn't mean what I said in there.

-I should never have, um-- -It's okay.

Yeah, I know I'm a fuckup.

Yeah, but… so am I.

Okay? We're allowed to be fuckups. We're kids.

But my fuckups are so much bigger than yours, Abbie.

If you knew some of the thoughts I have…

Leila, I don't know what they're telling you there--

You don't understand.

I killed Jess.

In therapy with Evelyn, we've been going over that night, and

she said I've been protecting myself from the truth.

Abbie, I killed her.

Or… I pushed her.

-Or I didn't help her. I can't remember. -No. I remember, Leila.

Okay? You called me the next morning and told me everything.

You were heartbroken.

But, Abbie, a part of me wanted her dead.

Sometimes I wish I could just run my dad's head over with the lawnmower.

Like, I can clearly visualize it, all the brains going all over,

but that doesn't mean I'd ever do it.

You didn't kill her.

You're exhausted.

Evelyn's fucking with your mind.

But what if I did?

What if I'm a murderer?

Then I'm best friends with a murderer.

Okay, everybody, back inside!

Move it!

Evelyn's leaping me tonight.

What? No, you can't.

Okay? I saw what they did to Stacey down there.

It's not therapy. It's torture.

I'm gonna get us out of here today.

'Kay? We can't wait anymore.

I have a plan.

Return your equipment to the shed. Head inside.

Come on. Let's go!

So… are you and Rory just fully dating now, or--

Oh, shut up.

Move it!

You know, I never liked you.

Who knows? Maybe I will once you're fixed.

Once I get to meet the real you.

Dwayne…

I'm gonna give you some space to think before Evelyn gets back.

Dwayne.

Dwayne!

You're lying on your back, crying out for your mother.

Dwayne!

We have to get out today.

Today? Jesus. Oh God.

-They're gonna leap Leila. -But they know we're planning something.

They've been listening to you.

Pierce Brosnan had the same problem.

-Like in Mrs. Doubtfire? -No. What?

Holy shit!

Is this for Mule? It looks real.

-Your cop buddy brought the stamps? -Yep.

Hmm. Hmph.

Everyone's on board, even Oatmeal Beth.

Are you ready for this?

See? Look at this.

Three ahead.

Hey.

Was just about to come looking for you.

-Where you been? -Can I be excused for a bit?

To lie down?

I'm shedding the lining of my uterus. My body knows it doesn't want a baby.

Yeah. Yeah. You can go to your… uh, bathroom or the dorm room.

Cool. Thanks.

Mule, can you check if I have mail?

-Hey, what's this? What are you doing? -Hey!

-Practicing my signature. Give it back. -Sorry.

-Your name's Melanie? Wow. -Yep. Mule to you.

Oh, right. Sorry, Mule.

'Kay, you got no mail.

-Thanks for checking. -Bye, Mule.

Just keep your eyes on Rory and Abbie.

Evelyn says they might try to make a break for it.

Permission to take my lunch off campus?

It's from my fiancé. He flew in from Paris to surprise me.

He wants to meet at 1:00 p.m.

Yeah, fine. Go.

What are they doin'?

Oh, god damn it. They found a blind spot.

Hurry. Get the screwdriver. Wait for the signal!

Got it.

Keep your eyes on the screen. They're up to something.

Hey, hey, hey! No, no, no!

Get back in there!

Uh…

Power's out.

Doors are open.

Keep a close eye.

Guys, okay. Let's go. Go. Let's go. Move it. Move it.

Go. Hey. Move it. Move it. Come on.

Oh shit.

Hey! Find Abbie and Rory!

Come here.

-Where are they, huh? -Shit.

Where are they?!

Duck, we have a problem. Leila's not in her room.

I am not done with you two, and I'm gonna make you bleed!

All right, all hands on deck!

Meet me at the northwest perimeter.

Northwest perimeter!

Find Abbie and Rory!

Think they're gonna make it?

No, I think they're gonna die.

Yeah.

It's too soon. Where is he?

I want him here.

Water.

We'll find him. Francis is looking.

You need to focus on what's happening now.

This baby is coming.

It's too soon.

You'll be fine.

We're here with you.

Play.

Are you gonna kill me?

Of course not.

We are not malevolent child killers, Alex.

Aaron Wilds.

Breanna Jacobs.

-Hannah Iverson. -Please, please, please stop.

They were tragic accidents

in the pursuit of healing.

"Tragic accidents"?

Is that what happened to Daniel? An accident?

You dumped his body in a pile of dirt.

Please start the process.

You should take some deep breaths, begin to clear your mind.

Please don't do this.

It must be strange to search for yourself

your whole life, only to realize you are a violent cliché.

What are you talking about?

How many people do you have to hurt

before self-defense feels like a hollow refrain?

I know you think you love Laura, but you don't.

You don't even know her.

You love an idea of her because it makes you feel like a real man.

Your fantasy of a nuclear family?

She's not capable of it.

It's much safer that you're here, especially now that she's gone into labor.

She's in labor?

Yes. Can you believe it? Three weeks early. Hmm.

She must be frightened.
