The Drowning Woman

Benjamin confronts Hazel, telling her that he knows about her plan and that Jesse is gone, but he doesn’t tell her that Jesse is dead. She’s uncharacteristically insolent, having lost all hope. He sends her to the room for punishment.

Benjamin works from home to watch Hazel. She acts contrite, and he allows her back upstairs. She asks to visit her mother, and Nate, the security guard, convinces Benjamin to say yes. Hazel visits her mother, comfortable in her facility, and says goodbye.

Hazel decides that death by suicide is her only way out. She goes to take a bath, having stashed sleeping pills and vodka in the bathroom. She records a video suicide note, telling the truth about Benjamin, and schedules it to post on social media a week later. When she’s about to take the pills, she hears the doorbell and is surprised to hear a woman’s voice. She goes downstairs and sees a detective, who says that Benjamin is being arrested for conspiracy to commit her murder.
