William has a strained relationship with Edward because his father has always told exaggerated stories about his life, and William thinks he's never really told the truth. Even on his deathbed, Edward recounts fantastical anecdotes. When William, who is a journalist, starts to investigate his father's tales, he begins to understand the man and his penchant for storytelling.

DON PRICE: (dubious) Let’s see it.
15.
The Old Woman steps out of the shadows behind Edward, flipping up her eye patch. When their flashlight beam hitsher left eye, it shines with a hellish glow.
We RUSH IN on Zacky, who is paralyzed by what he sees.
CUT TO:
EXT. FRONT PORCH OF HOUSE - DAY An OLD MAN -- Zacky -- stands on a wobbly stepladder, changing a lightbulb. Suddenly, the ladder gives way and hefalls. Dead.
EXT. AT THE GATE - NIGHT We RUSH IN on Don Price.
CUT TO:
INT. FRATERNITY HOUSE BATHROOM - DAY Twenty-year old Don Price falls face-forward on the tile, face mushed in the grout. Very much dead.
EXT. AT THE GATE - NIGHT Don and Zacky both tremble with fear. The latter has tears in his eyes.
ZACKY:
I saw how I was gonna die. I was old, and I fell.
DON PRICE: I wasn’t old at all.
The brothers suddenly bolt. Still standing next to the OldWoman, Edward smiles.
EXT. AT THE OLD WOMAN’S DOOR - NIGHT Edward helps her back inside. He could leave now, but curiosity gets the better of him.
EDWARD:
I was thinking about death and all.
About seeing how you’re gonna die.
The Old Woman turns to him slightly, still not facing him.

EDWARD (cont’d) I mean, on one hand, if dying was allyou thought about, it could kind of screw you up. But it could kind of help you, couldn’t it? Because you’dknow that everything else you cansurvive.
The Old Woman smiles a little, a crooked grin of brokenteeth.
EDWARD (cont’d) I guess I’m saying, I’d like to know.
The Old Woman turns leaning her face right in front of his.
And on a silent count of one, two, three -- Edward looks intoThe Eye.
This time we don’t cut. Instead, we HOLD ON Edward as hewitnesses his death. He stares transfixed, perplexed andamused. Whatever he sees, it’s not as dire as the otherboys. His future has something strange in store.
EDWARD (cont’d) Huh. That’s how I go?
The Old Woman nods. Still a little overwhelmed, Edward turnsand leaves.
ADULT EDWARD (V.O.) From that moment on, I no longer feareddeath. And for that, I was as good asimmortal.
