Where are you going, Emma?

Anywhere away from you.

Don't be like that.

I can be however I want to be. I'm my own person, you know.

What does that mean?

Shut up, Tod.

Really, Emma - where are you going?

Anywhere.

Anywhere?

Anywhere away from.... there.

Where?

My...my h-home. I d-don't want to l-look at what I've... what you m-made me d-do.

I didn't make you do anything.

Yes you did. You can't deny what you've made me do.

What's that supposed to mean?

You know exactly what I mean.

Oh, come on. She was already pretty old, anyway.

You have no idea what you're saying.

I do. I could see she didn't have long left in her. In fact we were doing her a favour, really!

DON'T SAY THAT! Don't ever say that!

Okay, okay. Sorry.

I HATE YOU!

I said I'm sorry! Come on, Emma - I didn't really mean it! I'll be nice now.

Don't believe you.

So where are we heading?

Wherever.

And where's that?

I... I don't know. Just, somewhere where I can-

Can what?

Never mind.

It's okay, Emma. I won't be angry if you turn around and go back home now. It's not too late to do as I asked.

No.

Why not?

I said no.

But why?

I SAID SHUT UP TOD! You want to know why? Well, I'll tell you why, then. It's because I love Luke. I love him a hundred, no a thousand, times more than I will ever love you!

Don't say that.

Why not? Why not, Tod? Is that because it hurts? Hurts you inside, like it does for me when you try to make me do bad things? Hurts like I hurt Luke? Like how I made him suffer all that time, scaring him with that knife that you made me find? Well, you know what? I don't care. I don't care about you anymore.

Emma.

WHAT? Do you think you can scare me, hurt me like you used to? Well, you won't be able to for much longer.

Oh, come on, Emma. You know things aren't easy for me. I get lonely. I just wanted some fun. I just wanted a friend.

Well, you're not having Luke!

Okay, I get it, you want to have Luke. And that's okay. We can find someone else for me, someone else for me to play with, that isn't him. Just turn back.

No! Don't you get it? I don't want to live like this. I don't want to have to hurt... to have to k-kill people anymore. And I don't want to harm anybody, whether or not they're Luke.

Emma...

I don't want to do this anymore! All I ever wanted was a nice, happy life, with a nice family and... and no you.

What? Hah, you know you couldn't live without me.

Could too! I don't need you. I never needed you! You're the one that needed me - to get all that you wanted!

You say that like it's all my fault.

Don't be mad, Tod. You'll get everything you have ever wanted soon.

Stop speaking like that! It's so annoying!

I'll make you happy soon.

How? How are you going to do that?

Have patience. You'll soon see.

I don't want to. Just tell me now.

NO!

Fine then. So, where are we going?

To the park.

The one we went to with Barney?

Don't bring that up! I don't want to think about him!

Sorry.

I'm really cold - I should've brought a coat. Actually, I suppose it doesn't really matter. I want to feel the cold.

You're being really strange, Emma. I can't read you today. Can you not just tell me what we're doing?

No. It's a surprise.

A good surprise?

An excellent one.

I wish you'd just tell me.

Be patient, Tod.

Okay.

I like this park. It's really open. I like... I like everything. It's really such a shame that it's the only way.

That what is? The only way to what?

Shhh. Come on, we're off onto the bridge.

Why? It doesn't look very safe - are you sure you should be-

Shhh

Goodness, it's a long way down. Not that I'm scared, but I thought you didn't like being high up?

I didn't.

What do you...

Look at the view from up here!

Yeah, I know. It's a long way down.

Yes.

You're mad.

No. You are.

You're completely mad. Omygod, you're...

Shut up Tod, and follow me.

Oh no. Oh no no no. No, Emma! You're not...

What?

You're not thinking of...

What?!

...of you?

Huh?

You're not going to... to throw yourself off or anything stupid are you?

Shut up.

You're not going to do that for me, are you?

Stop speaking to me like that.

But you're not, are you? Don't tell me you're that stupid?

But I thought that's what you'd always wanted.

When did I say that?

You were always saying it! Don't you remember? And I nearly did it before - all those years ago - because you scared me so much!

I don't remember.

Stop lying!

Okay, okay. Well, a long time ago I... I did want that, but I've got used to having you this way. And I thought you said you'd never do it anyway.

Well, I changed my mind.

Are you sure? Hey, whoah! Step away from the edge - give me a moment!

No. I'm doing it now. Before I change my mind.

Stop it!

Don't tell me what to do!

Really, Emma. Just stop and think for a second.

No, Tod! You're not telling me what to do this time.

Alright.

I'm doing it now, and that's that. Nothing and nobody is going to stop me.

Alright.

It's very far down.

I can see that.

You don't... you don't think it will hurt, do you?

Nah. It's too far down for that. It'll be over with quickly.

Good. Then I'll be with you, won't I?

Yes, you will.

I'll be with you properly.

You will.

Do you love me, Tod?

I do love you, you know, Emma. I love you very much.

And I love you too, Tod. That's why I'm doing this.

I know.

Because we are one, Tod. We are one. We always have been. And now we will be re-united again. Like we should have been years ago.

Our bond is unbreakable.

But, I must tell you, Tod, that I love someone even more. I love Luke more than anybody else in the world, and that's why I'm doing this. For him.

But also for me?

Of course. But I'm doing it now and I'm doing it this way for Luke. And I'm gonna do it now. Will you count down with me?

From what number?

Three.

Three, two...

WAIT! Oh, God, I'm scared.

Don't be, Emma. You can do this. We can do this. Take my hand and we'll do it together.

I'm not so sure anymore. I'm not brave like you are.

There, I'm holding you're hand now. You can do it. We can do it.

I can't feel you.

But you'll be able to soon.

Are you really sure?

Of course I am, Emma. I've never been surer.

Don't let go now.

I'm not planning on.

Do you swear on our lives? On my life? That you won't let go?

I won't let go. I promise.

Swear it

I swear

I'm ready

You sure?

Yes

Okay then.

Count down with me

From three?

Yes.

Okay then.

Let's do it on...

Three,

two,

one
