Alice?

What are you doing here?

I wanted to see you.

Put on some... Put on some clothes.

I'm in here.

You moved.

Yep.

You didn't tell me.

I haven't seen you in years.

Well, I'm here now, and that's what counts.

So, maybe, I could stay a little, and we could chat, catch up.

Okay.

Yeah?

You can stay

just one night.

- It's beautiful. - What?

- The house, dummy. - Thanks.

It's huge.

Yeah.

- Upkeep must be crazy. - What?

The upkeep must be expensive.

- All the bills and stuff. - Yeah.

I'm not sure how you pay for it.

Yeah, so, hey, I'm actually in the middle of something.

So, I need to get back to work.

Help yourself to a snack, or something.

I'm making tacos.

It's fake meat, though. I don't eat dead things.

Okay.

So, what are you working on that's so busy and important?

Drawings.

- What for? - A book.

Whose book?

Mine.

Really? Your own?

Yes, and I have a deadline that I'm way past,

so, I need to get to work.

Alone.

What's it about?

It's a long story.

Ethan,

we used to tell each other everything.

We need to become siblings again.

Family.

Family? Really?

Family's complicated.

So, where do you live?

In the city.

With my boyfriend.

Does he take care of you?

Actually, I work.

Not everyone can just,

you know, fall into a mansion without any explanation.

Besides, we broke up.

I thought you said "boyfriend."

Was. It's recent. So, I'm just not used to saying "ex."

Why'd you break up?

Because I caught him fucking someone else.

- So? - So, he was mine.

It's just sex.

Besides, you've been the other woman before.

Stop!

Don't be mean.

I'm already really unhappy.

I don't know what to believe with you anymore.

Why would I lie about something like that?

People lie by saying they are happy when they're not,

not the other way around.

Besides, it's over, and I need to move on.

You're always moving on.

Well, I'll be moving on in the morning, so, don't worry about it.

- I'm not worried. - Great.

Great.

Ethan?

It's weird, right?

Some kind of sinkhole, or something?

Right?

What?

Nothing.

This place is fucking weird.

- What? - What?

You said... You said something?

Nothing.

That thing.

It's fucking weird, right?

Hmm.

What made you go out there?

I was...

I was just walking around, and I stumbled upon it.

Right.

I don't know what's happening,

but you'll be safe.

I'll keep you safe.

I don't know what's happening, but you'll be safe.

I'll keep you safe.

Where did you go?

- Nowhere. - But you did go somewhere.

Have you seen my pen?

What pen?

My special pen.

Why is it special?

Because I use it to draw.

What's it look like?

Silver. I always keep it in the same place.

Are you sure?

I'm positive.

Sometimes, things are in plain sight,

and you just need someone else to look for you.

Shit.

Hey, maybe it's in a different room.

- Did you find it? - No!

Go!

- No? - No.

Yes? No.

- No. - No.

What are we looking for?

- Oh, it was the pen. - Oh, it was the pen.

- Did you find it? - No.

No.

You didn't come.

You didn't come to Mom's funeral.

She treated you like everything.

She treated me like a mistake.

She wasn't right when we were kids.

You should stay a little while.

You can borrow some of my clothes.

I can't focus on my work.

Are you distracted because we live on a giant sphere,

that's spinning in the middle of nowhere?

Maybe.

Are you distracted by the hole?

What if it's a portal?

We'll start over. Hmm?

You can come with me.

What are you talking about?

I think there's a better place than here.

Where're you going? Please wait!

Ethan, come back! What did I say? I'm sorry!

Hey.

You did this.

- What? - You fucking witch.

You're tryin' to make me think things?

Huh? Just like when we were kids.

- You were always so fucking... - What are you talking about?

- What are you talking about? - What'd you do?

You're being crazy.

- I'm not crazy. You're crazy. - I didn't do anything.

What'd you do? What'd you do?

You're the one being crazy.

- Ethan, stop it. - You're crazy.

- You're hurting me. - Crazy!

Stop!

- What the fuck? - Sorry.

Sorry.

Ethan's crazy. I'm not crazy.

I'm not being crazy. He is. He's crazy.

What happened?

You tell me.

I seem to be upsetting you, so, I'm gonna go.

Alice.

I really don't want to be here alone right now.

Stay.

Oh.

It's just her.

Wanna go for a swim?

No.

Hey.

Who are you?

My mom's cleaning the place.

Oh.

Yeah, she takes me to my soccer games afterwards.

- Soccer. - Yeah. Watch.

Cool.

Look.

Danny, you aren't bothering anyone, are you?

- No. - No.

You look just like her.

Who?

Elaine.

You knew her?

When she lived here, yes.

Whose house is this? Huh?

Is this Mom's house? Is this Mom's house?

Oh, fucking God.

How? How's that even possible?

- I don't know. - You're a liar.

- I got a call out... - You're a liar.

I got a call out of the blue. I had no idea.

She left it to me, and I...

Doesn't make any sense.

She just left it to me. I had no idea.

You could have told me.

- Why didn't you tell me? - I didn't know where you were.

I found you. You could've found me.

Maybe I didn't want to.

I would've told you eventually.

We used to tell each other everything.

I know. You said that earlier.

Ethan.
