[thunder rumbles]
[bird squawking]
[voices whispering]
What are you doing here?
Dreaming.
[man] Well, welcome to paradise.
It's nice.
Paradise may be inhabited by nesting animals and two years of dust.
[soft chuckle]Well, I'm not afraidof a little work.
It's why we're here, right?
[sighs] Yeah.
[exhales]It's nice.
[man] Yeah? Yeah.
[groans]
Where's Josh?
[voice whispering] Josh...
Josh...
[voices whispering]
Hey. Are you coming in, bud?
I love how they look right onto the forest. [door closes]
Makes it easier to see the bearsbefore they attack you.
Hey, Josh, you're in chargeof smores tonight.
Maybe later we'll getthe fire pit going, okay?
You remember where your room is?
[door slams]
[man sighs]
[crickets chirping]
[door closes]
[scratching sound]
[twig snapping]
This is my mom.
Oh, um, she's very pretty, Josh.
[slow tempo song playing]
[music stops]
Come here.[taps seat]
No. [chuckles]
I don't play. I can dance...
[taps seat]
Okay. Yeah.
Okay, so we'regoing to take this hand.
Mm-hm. And put it right here.
Okay. Okay. Yeah.
Get ready, when I nod,you press down, okay.
Okay. So--
[notes play] No, no.
[laughing] That wasn't nodding.
Okay. Okay, here we go.
[slow tempo song playing]
[giggles]
Hey, I just want to say, I'm so happy that--
Go have your own kid!
I'm so sorry. [door slams]
He's k*lling me, I'm going to go talk to him.
Um, no.
This is not a toy.
This stays downstairs, okay, buddy?
Josh... you know Gail isn't trying to replace Mom, right?
[sighs]
Okay. Are you okay, by yourself?
You want me to leave the light on?
Josh? I'm not a baby.
Okay.
[sighs]
Goodnight.
[whispering]It's kinda quiet, huh?
[soft chuckle] Peaceful, huh?
[chuckles]Well, I was gonnasay terrifying but...
[chuckles]
You know, I just wanted to say I know a lot of women wouldn't...
Thank you, for letting meinto your family.
Mm-hm.
[voices whispering] Josh... Josh... Josh...
[voice whispering] Josh... Josh...
Josh...
[woman] Joshy?
[woman] Joshy?
Hey, kiddo. It's me.
Mom?
Mom?
[yelling]
He's never had nightmares before, not like this.
Mm... there is a theory that suggests that we are all the characters in our dreams, so, if Josh's mom is splitting, then could be he's just leavingbehind past trauma, so...
Could be a really good thing.
If this is a good thing, I don't want to know what a bad one is.
[birds chirping]
[Gail] Hey!
Hey...
For some reason this is the only place you can get a single bar.
And... it's gone.
Well, no news is good news, right?
[phone chiming]
Well, he wants a new chorus and he wants me to make it more clever.
Alright, well, how about, go and write your own song.
I'm staying here with my kid... and my girlfriend. Hmm?
It's catchy but wordy.
Hey... we got you this.
It's just a present.
Josh helped me pick it out.
No, I didn't.
Thanks, Josh.
I said, no, I didn't! Hey.
[sighs] Look, I'm going to tryto make it back tonight.
But if I can't make it back,are you two going to be okay?
We'll be fine... ish.
Ooh... [chuckles]
See, now that's clever. Mm-hm.
We'll see you tonight.
[leaves rustling] [twig snapping]
It's okay, just forest sounds, nothing to be afraid of.
How would you know?
Well, you're right actually.
Does Dad love you?
Well, I hope so.
It's not fair.
What's not fair? She's dead and you're...
Go on. Why don't we...
Hey. Josh! Josh!
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Why'd you have to pick our family?
Okay, this is not funny. I'm going to count to three.
Go have your own kid! Josh! [screams]
Oh, my God!
[panting]
Oopsie.
Okay. Okay, that's... that's not funny, get out.
Get up! Get up!
That is not funny! Okay, do not do that again!
[Gail] Hey, you know, I'm sorryif I scared you before.
Josh, it's just you really frightened me.
[Josh] You can't take a joke.
Wow, this is prettyawesome, huh?
Did you see what happened to the trail?
Hey, Josh, maybe don'tgo in there.
[Josh] What does that say?
I don't know,it looks like Dreamcatchers.
What's this?
[Gail] I don't know,some kind of crafty nonsense.
Well, we probably shouldn't be here, this is somebody's place.
What do you think's in here?
[Gail] Tetanus? Nope.
There's no tetanus in here.
But lots of stuff for sale.
Some beautiful, some strange, some a little bit scary,some yummy.
Ms. Ruth's wild berry jam.
We're just looking for the trail, actually.
Like what scary stuff?
Do I know you?
You got smart little jack rabbit eyes, you a little jack rabbit?
My mom and dad used to live around here.
My mom drowned in a pond.
[Gail clears throat]
We should probably go, Josh.
That was your mom?
Come on, we got spirit traps,let me show ya.
Um, Josh, come on.
I'm not a baby.
No, you're not a baby.
And did you know that the spirits wander through these woods?
They like to linger in old barns.
They visit you in your sleep.
In your dreams.
Do you have bad dreams?
Cause a spirit trap will catch 'em!
[exclaims] Listen, shh.
[whispering] Oh, my goodness! They are in here right now!
They're trying to tell you something.
Something very important. They are saying, "Buy Ms. Ruth's Wild Berry Jam."
[chuckling]
Ahh, come on. I'm just playing with him.
Okay. Come on.
Trail picks up right over there.
Great, thank you. Yeah.
Hey, hey, hey! Josh, is that your name?
See you around, little jack rabbit.
[clicks tongue] [laughs]
Ms. Ruth was pretty cool.
Uh, well, she's pretty something alright.
You don't believe that stuff about spirit traps, do you?
You know that's nonsense.
She said they were real.She said they catch your dreams.
You know how dreams work, don't you?
Yeah, they scarethe shit out of you.
Hey, language.
Josh, dreams don't come from out here, alright.
They come from in here.
It's just your mind's wayof figuring out stuff that's going on in your life.
So if you're havingsome bad dreams, it means you're probablydealing with some stuffthat's difficult.
And you could talk about it.
You don't want to talk about it,you could try drawing it up.
You know, if you can see it, sometimes it makes it a little less scary.
Helps you understand it, and maybe you can figure it outin your real life.
Does that make sense? I guess.
[exhales] I want to tell you something, this is a secret.
You're in control.
Okay, so when you're falling asleep, just think good thoughts about your mom, you know, think about some of the good times that you guys had, and I promise you, it'll be better.
Okay?
What did I say? I'm in control.
That's right.
Say it a little bit louder.
I'm in control. Okay, scream it.
I'm in control! Yes! [laughs]
You are. You're in control, Josh.
Can I get a dreamcatcher? [Gail groans] No way.
[man] You're looking at a man who's just written 16 versions of the same chorus.
Well, I'm not looking at him, cause you're not here.
[man] Listen, I'm sorry. How's Josh?
He's good. He's been talking about Becky, which is good.
He's been expressing signs of anger, so at least we're talking.
It's raw, but I actually think it's good.
[static buzzing]
Luke? Luke... [phone cutting out]
[furniture moving]
[furniture moving]
[Luke] If you guys want to come back to the city I can arrange for a car-- No, what I'm saying is I think it's good if we stay here.
I think it's good for him.
[twig snapping]
Luke, can you tell me again, how Becky drowned?
Joshy.
Hey, kiddo. I've come to take you home with me.
[Luke] I told you, she was swimming and her heart just stopped.
Why does it matter? Well, it's just something that your neighbor Ruth said, or maybe it's the way she said it.
[Luke] Oh, f*ck, not Ruth.
Just do me a favor, stay away from her.
[Becky]Don't be afraid.
I'm your mommy.
[Luke] Seriously, do not talk to...
Gail... Gail...[static] Hello?
Luke?
[groans]
[screaming]
[footsteps approaching]
[screams]
Hey. Hey, Josh.
Hey, wake up.Wake up, buddy.
Hey, hey. Hey.It's okay.
It's just a bad dream.
Just a dream.
You okay?
You know it's okayto be scared, don't you?
Hm?
Josh?
Josh?
[wind chimes clanging softly]
Hey, what are you doing here, little jack rabbit?
Just trying to findsome spirit traps.
Maybe you better go home.
You come backwith the lady you were with.
Tell her Ms. Ruthaccepts cash only.
Will you please help me?
Are you okay?
Do all these catch bad dreams?
Uh, some do, some catch evil spirits.
Some catch bad energy. Some catch dreams.
Gail says we control our own dreams.
She says all this stuff is nonsense.
She does, does she?
[Josh] She's a child psychologist. She knows stuff like that.
Yeah. Anyways, that's why she's trying to fix me.
Are you broken? Sometimes.
[sighs] You know what,sometimes we're all broken.
Take off this pack.
Sit yourself down.
Here, put these on.
I'm going to show you how to fix some stuff.
So, we use this, then I won't hurt my fingers, and I probably won't need to wear gloves when I do it.
Great job! I betcha this one will sell.
What do you think?
Why'd you scratch out the dreamcatchers on your sign?
Well, I don't makedreamcatchers anymore.
Just spirit traps...
Hey, Josh, what are you doing here?
Can we please get one?
[sighs] Okay, wait outside.
Go on. [Josh groans]
Well, your little friend sure wants something.
You know, some people might find this kind of thing offensive.
Misappropriating other people's cultures.
Excuse me,nobody's got the market cornered on protecting themselves from evil.
You know, all cultures have a way to trap bad things.
This is called a Ojos de Dios.
Here's one from Scotland. It's called a Rowan cross.
And I have a book to show you. I know you like books.
People always find a way to ward off what scares them.
And don't touch anything, please.
Yeah...
[voices whispering]
You are nosy, aren't you? Do you mind putting that back?
Is Noah your son?
Was my grandson.
He's dead, they're all dead! Just like Josh's mother.
Josh's dad told meabout the accident.
Oh, is that what he called it?
Get out.
Never come back here again,got it?
[crickets chirping]
[Josh exhales] Alright.
Are you okay with the light out?
Shut my door.
[door shuts]
Once upon a time, there was a knight named Sir Josh, and he had a sword.
[moaning]- Shh... shh... it's okay honey.
It's okay now. No, no, no, no, no.
It always starts like this and then it turns into a nightmare.
No-- And then you get all scary and--
No, I'm not a nightmare,not anymore.
Shh. Now that youhave the dreamcatcher,I can come home.
Are you really here?
Not yet.I'm just up here.
I'm not strong enough yet.
Are you hungry? I'll go--
I'll just eat you.
[both laughing]
[laughing]
[Josh]Dad promised he'd be home.
[Gail] Well, I knowhe'll be back as soon as he can.
We could go hiking again.
Hiking's just walking.
How'd you sleep?
I saw my mom...in my dream.
She read me a story.
I'm hungry.
Hey, I make a mean pancake.
So when you dreamed about your mom last night, how was she?
She was normal.
She was pretty.
She was happy.
[sighs] You know, I don't thinkthere's any pancake mix in here.
I mean, there's a little mouse poop.
Ow! Ow...
Why did you do that? Do what?
Leave this door open. I didn't do anything.
Josh. I said I didn't do anything!
Hey, hey, hey, come back.
Josh, come on, let's... let's do something fun.
[door slams]
Well, this is fun.
Dad says not to talkwhile fishing.
My mom died here.
Who told you that?
My mom.
What do you mean?
[Josh] In my dream.
She said that she was sorry that she had to leave.
But she said when she comes back, she'll never ever leave me again.
Do you want to talk about it?
It's like I know she's always with me.
But I just feel different.
Is that normal?
It's more than normal.
It's very healthyand grown up.
You don't have to do that.
Do what?
Act all cheerleadery.
Like you're my mom. I don't need a mom.
Like I said, she'll always be in here with me.
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Ow! Ow!
I'm sorry! [winces]
Stop! Let's just pausefor a minute, okay.
Ow... [groans]
Okay. I'm sorry.
Alright... [groans]
[Josh] Does it hurt? [grunts]
[groaning]
I'm sorry I hooked you.
That's okay, sweetie,you didn't mean it.
That's good.Ooh, thank you.
[laughing]
Look, this is not a joke,mis...
[birds chirping]
[knocking]
Okay, bed time.Turn it off.
When's Dad coming?
Josh, it's been a long day,please just turn it off.
Why would you do thatwith the photos?
Do what? Don't lie to me, okay.
I swear, I didn't do anything.
Come on,I thought we were friends.
I didn't do anything!
Door!
[voice whispering]
Josh, I said no iPad!
[electronic sounds]
Josh... hey.
[electronic sounds]
[iPad clicks off]
Dad said Gail loves me.
[Becky's voice] She wants to k*ll you.
[Josh's voice] She does?
[Becky's voice] Honey, do you love me?
[Josh's voice] Yes.
[Becky's voice] Don't you want to see me again?
[Josh's voice] Yes.
When are you coming back... for good?
[Becky's voice] I'm not strong enough yet.
So I need you to help me.
You need to stop her.
[Josh's voice] But she's nice, she took me fishing.
[Becky's voice] You can only love one of us.
Those are just the rules, Joshy.
[Luke] Gail, I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do.
They're making me stay another night.
I'm telling you I'm just going to walk right out of here.
[phone cuts out]
[Gail sighs]
How are you feeling?
Hmm?
I think it's goingto rain later,so it's probably an inside day.
[glass shatters]
You alright?
It's okay, don't move, I'll... I'll clean it up.
Don't walk on this.
Sorry, I just...I'm so tired.
Whatcha been doing this morning?
Just doing the pictureslike you told me.
Oh...
So, tell me, what's this?
That's Daddy, that's Mommy,and that's me.
[Gail] Oh, what's this one?
[Josh] This one? Yeah.
That's you. Who's this?
That's your dead baby.
Just my mindworking through things.
Um... I'm just going to go get your sneakers, okay, so don't move.
Mm, just can't find that extra pink piece for this.
Does this one go there?
Mm... no.
You okay?
Just a little bit tired.
[yawning]Me too.
Me and my mom used to do this.
You alright?
Yeah. I think I need to goupstairs to bed.
[door opens]
Okay, Mommy.
[clattering]
[panting]
Josh!
Josh!
Josh! Hey, Josh!
[screaming] Josh!
[panting]
Sweetie?Hey, hey, hey--
I saw my mommy! She was k*lled!
Hey, Josh.
Sweetie. Josh!
Josh. Hey, hey, Josh! Josh.
Hey, you're dreaming.
It's okay.It's okay, I'm right here.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey...
It's okay. It's okay.
[crickets chirping]
[gasps]
[screeching in distance]
[gasps] Oh, my God!
Hey, how you doing?
I'm in control.
Yeah, you are.
There's honey in here.
[knocking]
Ruth?
[Ruth] Where is it?
No, don't go! Hey! What?
No, don't go! Hey, hey, hey, you can't just come running in here.
[Ruth] No, he broke into my barnand he took something!
[Gail] Josh? [Ruth] Josh!
[door opens]
Don't go away again, Mommy!
Okay, Josh, did you takesomething from Ms. Ruth's barn?
Okay, you need to give it back.
No, no! I don't want it back.
But you need to listen.
It was safe where it was, but not anymore.
You let it out,and now you're both in danger.
You need to destroy it now!
I don't need it anymore.
You, stay here.
Just tell me, what happened to your family?
What happened to Becky, what happened to Noah?
Just tell me.- You're not hearing me, just... just throw it into the fire. Burn it!
Okay, fine! I'll throw it in the fire.
[Ruth] Little Noah...
He was just a regular little guy.
He was smart, funny.
Was a little bit quirky, he liked odd things.
He had a collection that he called his "special stuff" that had dead animal fur, bones, dead bugs.
His father would say, "Get rid of that junk!
Normal boys play sports and they have friends."
I was his friend.
It was Christmas, and I wanted to find the perfect present, and there was a yard sale down the street, and I found that thing.
This crazy woman said to me, "Whoever hangs it in their room will be protected from evil forever."
I thought, the perfect present.
Boy, was I wrong.
Protect him from evil?
It was pure evil.
It devoured him, and then one day he followed his parents into the woods, and this little boy hacked them to death.
Came upon them all hacked to pieces.
Except for Noah.
Suddenly, he... he just leapt at me like a wild animal, and he was waving this axe, screaming at the top of his lungs.
Make it get out! Make it get out!
And then he k*lled Josh's mom.
[creaking]
Once upon a time,there was a boy named Josh, and he had a hatchet.
As a psychotherapist, I can tell you that kids have issues, alright.
And using science, we just need to treat them with therapy or with medicine, and this voodoo bullshit it doesn't help.
It doesn't help anyone.
And I'm just suggestingthat you just drop it.
Gail, help, I can't move!
Shh!
[crickets chirping]
[owl hooting]
[gasps] [screams]
Sorry. Hey.
[panting]
How could you just leave us here?
[exhales] I had to go to the city.
Why didn't you tell me Becky was k*lled?
What are you talking about?
I read an article, okay.
I don't... I don't likethinking about that.
Okay, well that's something that you might want to mention, alright.
Yeah, I... I know.I'm sorry,I should have told you.
Hey, hey, buddy! I missed you.
Uh, listen, Gail and I, we have to talk for a minute, so, can you go in the kitchen and fix me something to eat? I'm so hungry.
Mm-hm. Okay.
[exhales]How was it, how's he been?
Uh, not good.
He's been sleepwalking.
Do you guys want some pie?!
Uh, yeah, buddy.
[stutters] Sleepwalk? Yeah, that's the least of his problems.
He left the cupboard door open on purpose so he could hit me on the back of the head.
He hooked me with a fishing hook.
Well, I'm... I'm sorryyou had a couple of accidents.
It's not accidents. I mean, I'm napping, I wake up, and I am covered in a sea of Becky photos.
I don't understand. He slashes the scarf that you gave me.
He breaks into Ruth's barn. She comes here--
I... I told youto stay away from her.
And... and kidspull pranks all the time.
When I was a kid,I... I pulled pranks,I shoplifted once on a dare.
This is not a prank.- And I've slept walked before.
[stutters]Here, actually.
I woke up in the...in the f*cking woods.
Do you want me to show you the scarf?
I don't need to see the scarf!
I just want to have a weekend, with my son with some quality time, that's nice, where I can relax!
I understand.What about me?
[Luke] Oh, thanks, buddy.
Thank you, Josh.
Can we go fishing tomorrow?
Yeah, we'll see.
Mmm, this is pretty good pie, Joshy.
Well, I'm glad you like it,'cause it's pretty muchall we have left.
[sighs]
I'm sorry. It's just...
It's just we've had a fewmisadventures, haven't we, Josh?
Haven't we?
Are you okay?
Jesus Christ!
[groans]
Did you do this! I didn't.
Gail, come on. Answer me!
I didn't. You tell me the truth.
Gail, for God's sake!
I said I didn't! She hates me!
Okay, we're so out of here. Tonight!
[crickets chirping]
[owl hooting]
Josh... did Gail tell youabout the pond?
About mom?
[Josh] No.
Josh?
I don't want to get her in trouble.
Goddamnit.
Dad, I didn't do the thing with the broken glass.
I... I know you didn't, Joshy.
Gail, she's just, uh...She's just confusedabout a lot of things.
She told me not to dream about mom.
What?
Said it was unhealthy.
And it showed a sign of weakness.
[exhales]
You just get some sleep, pal.
Josh needs help, Luke. More than I can give him.
Wait, do you...you really think that he did thisto you on purpose?
He broke a glass the other day, he probably took the glass out of the trash.
Yeah, what's... what's this?Huh?
And you told himnot to dream about Becky?
No, I didn't tell him that.
Joshy said that you did.
Joshy says that I did. You're going to take a child's word over mine? 'Cause I am telling you, I'm telling you, professionally,he needs help.
Kids have bad dreams.
Maybe he needs to spendmore quality time with me.
This is based on your years of experience working with troubled children?
Based on the factthat he's my own g*dd*mn son.
I'm telling you, he's traumatized!
He's experiencing latent violent tendencies, and you've got us stuck here in this house where his mother was k*lled! Are you f*cking nuts?!
No, he's not troubled!
[stutters] He's confused,he's six years old.
Oh, Jesus Christ, he's not six.
Yeah. No, he's not.
No, I mean, I know...I know he's not six.
Because you would like him to be six.
No, no, no, no.No, don't do this.
Yeah. You would like him to be six...
Don't do this psychoanalyticalbullshit on me.
...because then he could still be your little Joshy, and Becky would still be alive.
I get it. I get it.
And we need to get the f*ck out of here.
I'm not kidding!
Honey...
It's time.
She's ready.
Go on.
I don't want to. She took my place.
Hey, you said you hated her. I don't, not really.
It's easy. Watch.
[screaming]
[Josh] Why'd you do that?!
I didn't. You did.
No!
[screams]
[panting]
Hi, Gail.
[screams]
[panting]
Luke?
Luke?
[birds chirping]
Hey, Luke.
What's going on?
What is this?
I was letting you sleep in.
Because we're gettingon the road, right?
Babe, he's fine. You're fine, right?
Dad's going to teach me how to chop some wood.
We'll be careful, we've got snacks.
Listen, I want toget out of here.
As soon as we get reception,I'm calling Dr. Fisher.
I am going to spend some time with my son.
Twenty minutes,and then we're out of here.
Are we going to chop some wood now?
Yeah, Josh, we're going to chopthe hell out of some wood now.
[Ruth screaming]
My turn. No, hey... Slow down.
Safety first. Come here.
Put both hands on it.
Okay.Just little swings.
Nice and easy.There you go. Okay?
There you go.
Nice and easy.Good.
[exhales]
Now, Josh,I said to use both hands, son.
Hey, Josh, I said...I said use both hands.
Why didn't you tell me how Mom died?
Okay-- A little boy k*lled her.
Hand that over.
Okay, Josh, that's enough.
You give me that.
[yells]
Damn it!Put that down, now!
He threw her body into a pond.
Just a boy. A boy like me.
[Josh and voice] Once upon a time, there was a boy named Josh, and he had a hatchet.
Where's your Dad?
What's this?
[screams]
Josh...
Josh!
Put that down!
Josh!
Josh!
Okay...
Remember... Can you remember what we talked about?
Okay, losing control?
Josh?
[screaming]
No! [yells]
[grunts]
No! [groaning]
[yelling]
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
What the f*ck?! What the f*ck?!
[panting]
What are you doing?
[Ruth] Don't interrupt me. It's for our own good.
[panting]
Josh. Josh is dead.
Josh, wake up. Wake up, buddy.
Josh! Your dad's coming back and we're going to get out of here.
[Josh and voice] I don't think Daddy's coming.
[Gail] What are you talking about?
[Josh and voice] Daddy wasn't safe with the hatchet.
[Ruth] It's not Josh.
It's this!
It can't be destroyed, there's something that is living in there.
It is indestructible.
Josh. Josh!
I saw it.
I saw it last night in my sleep.
And it was a woman.
A miserable hag.
Okay. Okay, Ruth.
Now you can't possibly believe this.
She has Noah's soul for eternity, but now she has Josh.
We have to k*ll him, Gail.
You have to k*ll him.
Or he's going to k*ll you.
He's going to k*ll me.
He's going to killeverybody around us, and the evil is justgoing to keep comingand coming and coming!
I understand. I understand.
I'm going to help you, alright.
But I can't help you, unless you untie me.
[shrieking]
What's happening?
[Josh and voice]Get away, I'm not going back in!
Hey, hey, hey, stop!
Where is he?!Where is he?
Is he in there? You know where he is.
Is my Noah in there? Is he in pain?
Of course, he's in pain, can't you see he's sick?! He needs a doctor!
[Josh and voice] You think I'm trapped in that?
That's my home, we all live in there.
Waiting... Waiting for what?
[Josh and voice] For a place to play. But we got Noah.
What fun we had with him.
You let him go! Don't you hurt him anymore!
Fight it!
[Josh] Gail. Gail, what's happening?
I don't know. I don't know, Joshy.
But I'm here. I'm right here with you, okay.
Josh, is Noah in there? Just stop it!
For God's sake! What do you want?!
It's not what I want, it's... it's what that wants.
Little boys just don't become monsters.
Oh, but they do... they do, Ruth.
And I'm sorry, I don't know what happened to Noah.
She knows what happened.
Noah?
At first it kinda tickles when they're inside you.
But then they start eating you.
It hurts so much.
But when you let them play, they don't feed on you.
It's why they need us.
You figured that much out.
I did. I did.
Just when I thought that my life was over he stopped.
I thought he was going to hug me.
But instead, he grabbed my wrist and put the axe in my hand, drew it across his own throat.
I watched him die, Gail.
I k*lled my own grandson.
[Ruth exclaims]
I miss your hugs.
Do you mean it, sweetheart?
God, I've missed you so much.
[whimpering]
Josh! Sweetie, wake up!
Oh...
[Ruth choking]
Holy f*ck.
Josh. Josh.
You're in control, Josh!
Stop! Please!
Josh, no!
[panting]
Josh, stop.
[voice] Josh is dead!
Sweetie... you're in control.
Say it. Say it!
[voice] I'm in control.
No, no... No, Joshy, there's someone else inside of you.
There's someone very sweet.
Somebody who your Daddy loves.
Remember? Remember how much you love your daddy and your mommy?
Sweetheart, they love you.
They love you so much. I love you.
I love you! I love you!
I just wanted to be your mommy!
Mommy? [screams]
Mommy?
[grunting]
[panting]
[panting continues]
[vehicle approaching]
[man]Hey, kid.
You alright?
[exhales]
Yeah, just a little tired.
[kids' voices echoing]
