Girl in the Woods, The (2025)

[bunniefuu]

[Ominous Music]

[Water Running]

[Glass Breaking]

What do you want?

[ Woman ] We've got the pizza.

Now only eight-ninety

[ Man ] A thousand dollars cash back

and no payments until 1998.

That's guaranteed.

The FBI is teaming with local

law enforcement investigating two

recent homicides believed to be related.

The most recent victim, 52 year

old Harold Russell, was found late

Friday night outside an automobile

repair shop in Parkville, Pennsylvania.

Police say 21 year old Michael

Sands is wanted for questioning

in that investigation.

[ Anchorwoman ] Well, you'll

want to stay in the shade...

[muffled]

[ Man ] Mal.

Hey, Mal.

Hey! Mal!

Mal, wake up!

Huh?

Wake up!

- You okay?

- What?

You fell asleep again.

Hit your head?

Let me

Let me just sit here for a minute.

All right, take it easy.

Head hurt at all?

No, I'm okay.

You sure?

Want me to call Doctor Green?

No, just let me sit here for a minute.

I'll be right back.

Don't get up.

[ Forest Sounds ]

Okay.

Can you tell me your name?

Malcolm.

Do you feel dizzy or confused?

No.

And you're taking the Modafinil?

Mm-hmm.

What about hallucinations?

Have you had any more of those?

No.

Well, you seem fine.

I guess we could look

into upping your dosage,

but other than that, this is

what a brain injury looks like.

He's not using the farm equipment, is he?

No, I handle all that.

Well, that's good to hear.

Malcolm, no exceptions.

You're doing the dishes and you passed out.

What if you'd been on

a tractor or driving a car?

- What then?

- I don't drive anymore.

Okay, relax.

It looks like Mr. Buffa here

has everything under control.

So it seems like you're in very good hands.

Call me if you need me.

[Quiet Music] [ Wind ]

[ Buffa ] Hey. Headed out.

It's your move.

It's all right. Take your time.

See if you can find an attack.

There.

Forked your queen and your rook

See ya, Mal.

[ Door Opens and Closes ]

[Thunder clap]

[ Hitting Flashlight ]

[ Bushes Rustling ]

Hello.

Hey!

It's okay.

Are you hurt?

I'm not going to hurt you.

Are you okay?

[ Whimper ]

Okay.

I just want to help.

How did you get out of here?

What's your name?

You're not in trouble or anything?

I just need to know what to call you

so I can let your parents

know that you're okay.

Is anybody looking for you?

Hey.

Do you need anything?

You're thirsty?

Okay, let's get you some water.

Malcolm.

How did you know that?

How did you know my name?

So you'll sleep here.

And as soon as the power's on

we'll call your parents and

let them know you're safe.

All right.

I'll be right outside.

[ Gentle Music ]

Or I can leave the door

open a little bit so you can see the light.

How about I, uh put the lantern here?

Is that better?

Yeah.

That's better.

Okay.

Try to get some sleep.

I'll just be right outside.

[Twigs breaking]

Somebody out there?

If you're an animal, you're not scaring me.

Perfectly capable of fighting you.

And if you're a person.

I'm calling the cops.

[ Footsteps ]

[Mal] Have you had any

reports of a missing kid?

What about from a nearby county?

Can you ask somebody else?

I see.

No, it's just

she appeared in the

woods behind my house and

that's weird, right?

She had to come from somewhere.

No, that's all right.

Yeah. I'll be here.

Thank you.

Oh.

I just got off the phone

with the police, and they haven't

heard anything from your parents, so...

You don't happen to know

their phone number do you?

Right.

Well, they're going to send somebody over,

but in the meantime,

you hungry?

[ Door Opens ]

[ Buffa ] Hey, I picked up a few

new floodlights while I was out.

Also got those extra clothes.

What did you need them for?

Who's this?

I don't know.

What do you mean? What's her name?

I don't know, she hasn't told me.

Hi, I'm Buffa.

What is she doing here?

I don't know.

Where's she from?

She just showed up last night.

Anybody looking for?

Will you just assume from this point on

that I don't know anything.

Well, she sure likes those pancakes.

Well,

that's one thing we know about her.

[ TV On. Music. ]

[ Knocking ]

[ Man ] Go ride 'em, cowboy!

[ Man ] Yippee! Yahoo!

[ Man ] Hang on! Hang on!

Kathy, thanks for coming.

Sure, Mal.

Hello,

I'm officer Kathy.

I'm here to help get you home.

Do you know your address, sweetheart?

Can you tell me your parents' names?

Buffa, could you turn the TV off a sec?

[ TV Zaps Off ]

There you are.

What a pretty young girl you are.

And I almost missed it with that TV on.

Do you like to watch TV?

I'm a police officer.

Do you know what that is?

Well, my name is Officer Kathy,

and it's my job to get you home.

Do you know where you live?

[ Kathy ] I don't know, Mal.

Sometimes when a kid's not talking,

it could be a case of abuse,

or they've experienced a

traumatic event of some kind.

She could be a runaway, and taking her home

could do more harm

than good in the long run.

So what do we do?

I'm going to call Vicki

down at social services...

Okay.

But I know how that

conversation is going to go.

She's going to tell me that there's a

shortage of foster homes right now,

and that there isn't

that many people out there willing

to care for other people's children.

The only other option we have

is putting her in a group home,

but the closest one is down in the city.

Unless...

Unless what?

Well, I figure you've

already had her for one night.

What's one or two more?

She's with someone I trust.

She's not downtown.

It gives me a couple of days to find her

a nice place to stay

around here, and hopefully

figure out what's going on with her.

You could use some company around here.

Mal, it's been a long time.

I know I don't get out here enough

to say it, but I think about you.

How have you been?

Good.

So good that folks in town

say they never see you.

Your oldest friends say they don't see you.

What, it's been ten years

since Emily's been gone?

Eleven.

Eleven years.

I'm really sorry, Mal.

Truly, I am.

I know it's been really

tough on you without her.

But just because she's gone

doesn't mean that you have to be.

I don't mean to make you upset.

Think about all this,

but we miss you, Mal.

That's all I mean.

Yeah.

I guess one or two more days couldn't hurt.

Okay.

Thank you.

I'll check on you two tomorrow.

[Car door closing]

[ Buffa ] Mal!

[Crying]

What happened?

I don't know.

She was pointing at the orange

juice, so I poured her a cup

and now she doesn't want it.

What do you want?

I don't

You want orange juice?

What do I do?

What do you want?

You want the whole carton? There, take it.

[ Bottle Hits Floor ]

[ Crying ]

[Gentle music]

What is it?

Do you see what you want?

Why don't you go and get it?

How about that?

Why couldn't she just say it?

[ On TV, Cartoon Voice ] Oh, hello.

You're just in time for dinner.

Roast Papayas.

My name is Penelope.

What's your name?

My name is Luna.

[ On TV ] Well, it's nice to meet you.

What did you say?

Did you just say her name was Luna?

Is that your name?

Luna?

You're Luna.

Luna?

How did you know my name?

[ Mal Silly Voice ] Oh. Hello.

My name is

stinky.

What's your name?

My name is Luna.

Luna.

That's a very pretty name.

Where are you from?

Are your parents looking for you?

[ Dramatic Chord ]

The Dark One is coming.

You have to protect us.

[Scream]

What is it?

Are you hurt?

It's okay.

I'm here.

I'm going to stay here

the rest of the night.

How does that sound?

Try to get some sleep.

[ Buffa ] What was it?

I don't know. It was dark.

It was hard to see.

Maybe you were still sleeping.

No, it was standing right in front of me.

I mean, maybe it was a dream, but...

Would you mind staying the night tonight?

I could really use just an extra

pair of eyes, see if it comes back.

That way I'll know if

I've gone crazy or not.

Sure. I'll keep you safe, Mal.

Where is she?

Upstairs.

I bet she's terrified.

Well, did you say anything to her?

You think I should?

Well, yeah.

Tell her something like

it's all going to be okay,

or there's no such thing as monsters.

Should I do that?

Well, I just did it for you.

You shouldn't be up here. It's not safe.

These are not for going through.

Please go downstairs.

[Mysterious music]

You saw what happened.

She made that glass move

six inches with her mind.

We don't know that.

What do you mean? We just saw it.

We don't know what we saw.

There's got to be some

logical explanation for all this.

Yeah.

That she's an alien with

telekinesis or something, like E.T.

She's not an alien.

Yeah?

Then where is she from?

No reports of missing kids in the area.

No parents are looking for her, no fliers

or milk cartons with her face on them.

Kids don't just appear

out of thin air, Mal.

We don't know what

she is or where she's from.

Well,

actually, she did say something the other

day when I asked her where she was from.

What'd she say?

You're gonna think it's crazy.

I assure you,

anything you tell me will

be the least crazy thing

I've experienced with this girl.

Luna, do you remember what you told me

when I asked you where you were from?

Long ago, the spirits were at peace.

Then came the age of the Dark One.

The spirits hid deep

within the darkest forests.

Never to be seen again.

The Dark One is coming.

Okay. Good night.

Once upon a time.

Do you want a bedtime story?

I don't think I know any bedtime stories.

Do you know a bedtime story?

I think you're just supposed to

make them up as you go along.

Oh. Uh.

Yeah. Okay. Well,

a long time ago.

Once upon a time.

Right.

Right.

Once upon a time,

there was a little boy.

Only it wasn't a little boy.

It was a little girl named Luna.

And what did Luna do?

Luna

went off into the forest,

and while she was there,

she saw a light rising up into the sky.

And she saw a bush

rustling.

And so she got closer to the bush,

and a little alien popped out.

And the alien was really sad

because his friends had

left him on the spaceship.

And he was really scared of Luna.

But Luna said, "don't

worry, I won't hurt you."

And that made that the alien really happy,

and his chest started glowing red.

And so Luna put these little

candies all the way back to her house.

But the alien gobbled up.

And when they got there,

Luna noticed that the alien was really sad

because he missed all

of his friends and family

who were on board that spaceship.

And so he said to Luna, he said,

"E.T. phone home."

And after they called

home, she picked up E.T.

and she put him in the

basket on her bicycle

because the spaceship was going

to meet them again in the forest.

And so she raced off to the forest.

In this really exciting scene.

And then the spaceship was there, and

the mommy and daddy alien came down

and hugged E.T., they were so happy.

And they put him on board the

spaceship, and the spaceship blasted off.

And as they flew up into the sky,

they left a rainbow trailing behind them.

Good night, kiddo.

You know, it is

actually kind of nice

having her around, isn't it?

It's your move.

I don't know what to do.

I'm good at chess.

When in doubt, look for an attack.

You know, I have a confession to make.

I don't think you're very good at chess.

That's why I'm still so bad.

- Is that right?

- I have a terrible teacher.

Well, it's a good thing we

only play each other then.

You want to play something else?

I think I saw Scrabble upstairs.

You think I'm bad at chess?

You know,

I think Officer Kathy might be into you.

Now, I don't know.

Maybe if you cleaned yourself

up, got some new clothes,

you might actually have a shot.

Is that all you think about?

I mean, I guess at your

age, that is all you think about.

I don't mean sex.

Well, maybe that too.

But only if the situation presents itself.

Oh, I see.

No, I mean,

companionship.

You know, like someone to talk to.

Spend some time with other than me.

Listen,

I do appreciate this job,

and I like spending time with you, but...

I can always drive you to town.

You know,

if you ever wanted to go.

You ever want to go?

There's nothing for me there.

What happened?

It was a car accident.

I was driving

car crossed the yellow line.

The only survivors were

a ten year old boy in the

backseat of the other car, asleep.

And me.

After a while,

I started having these

hallucinations.

I would see Emily.

Plain as day, right in front of me.

I would just watch her.

I found that

the more I talked to her,

the more I pretended she

was here, the more I'd see her.

And I could catch a glimpse of her

hanging laundry on the line.

Walking past the doorway.

But she'd never talk back.

She never talked back.

And after a while,

this thing that I was doing

to get close to her.

It became unbearable.

So now I take my medication.

And I don't talk to her.

I never told you about my dad.

Did I?

He died when I was twelve.

When people talk to you right after,

they say things like...

"It's all part of God's plan"

or "it'll be okay."

But you can tell the ones who have

never really lost someone.

You know, they just

know the things that they're

supposed to say to

people like you and me.

All these people trying

to comfort me just

just ended up making me feel more alone.

So one day I'm on the web.

I find this bulletin board.

And it's all these people

who have lost someone,

you know, posting stories and memories.

Letters

with everything that they

wished that they could say to their

loved ones but couldn't.

And there I am

reading these love letters from strangers.

And they're saying

everything that I was feeling inside.

Everything that they said was exactly

what I wanted to say.

And that made me feel not so alone.

Gotta be a reason for it,

right?

Why else would we be made to feel such pain

if there wasn't something bigger planned?

You gotta trust that there

is something bigger going on.

Let's get some sleep.

I think you're going to want to see this.

Started about an hour ago, but

at first it was too soft to make out.

So I thought it was my mind, you know,

like playing tricks on me

or like I was dreaming it.

And then it started

getting louder and louder.

You can hear it clear now.

It's coming from the woods.

What is it?

You tell me.

[ Strange Wailing ]

[ Hip Hop Music ]

Who do you think is hotter?

Jean Grey or Mystique?

Mystique. Definitely.

Jean Grey has bigger boobs, though.

Yeah, but mystique is

basically naked, like, all the time.

True.

[ Buffa ] Josh!

Yeah.

Hey, do you have any books on, like,

fairies or spirits or anything like that?

What? Why?

What are you gonna do with them? Mom!

Hey! Shut up! Do you have them or not?

Tell me why you want them so bad.

How about I slap you into next

Tuesday and take what I want

until you get back.

Josh?

Are we in danger right now?

No, he's just bluffing.

All right,

you can borrow them, but

we want something in return.

What?

Ten Playboys.

One.

Deal.

You can see everything

Mal!

I got this from my little brother.

It's probably every book

ever written on natural spirits,

ancient mythological forest

deities, fairies and nymphs.

Fairies?

Oh, it's just a word, Mal.

Like dragons before dinosaurs.

So you believe in dragons now, too.

That's not what I'm saying. I'm

For years, we thought that dragons

were just something people made up.

Then we start finding dinosaur

bones out of the middle of the desert.

And all of a sudden, ancient stories

about large reptiles with big horns

and sharp teeth don't

sound so crazy now, do they?

I see.

These things have been passed

down from generation to generation.

So doesn't it make sense that

each culture has their own idea of it

because at some point

in time, they were real?

Don't you think you're

going a little overboard?

You got a better idea?

I mean, you heard the stories

she tells, things she does.

Maybe something in here can help.

Hey, listen to this.

The Kodama.

It's Japanese folklore that's been

around for thousands of years.

It says here that they're spirits

that inhabit the most remote forests.

They've got drawings from

as far back as the 1700s.

It says here that they're

capable of taking human form.

That if one of them were to go

missing, the others would mourn them...

They cry.

It might explain the sounds

coming from the woods.

What's this?

I don't know.

Says there's demons too.

Shapeshifters that are

hostile to the Kodama.

It says here that they

exist alongside the Kodama

as their enemy.

Hey. You're not from this world, are you?

You need our help?

That's why you're here, isn't it?

Is it the Dark One?

Luna,

where is he?

In the woods.

I feel ridiculous.

[ Buffa ] Hey, cut the chatter.

We need these lines clear.

Clear for what?

We're the only ones out here.

I see something

It's moving.

What is it?

It's coming towards me.

Oh! It's gone.

I think it was like a raccoon or something.

All right, that's it. I'm going inside.

Hey, don't leave your post.

That's exactly what the

Dark One wants you to do.

This is stupid.

You sound like a kid at a sleepover.

This is a sleepover.

How's your battery doing?

[ g*nsh*t ]

I saw someone.

He's out there.

- You sure?

- I'm sure.

It was a person. He

was standing right there.

I shot up into the

trees, and he just ran off.

sh*t. I could have hit him.

I've never shot at someone before.

Come on.

Go check on Luna.

[ Radio Static ]

[ Strange Squeaking ]

[ Scream ]

[ Woman Crying ]

[ Man ] Freeze!

Let me see your hands.

Put your hands on your

head and turn around.

Officer, you're making a big mistake.

This is my house.

Everybody in this

house has lost their mind.

[ Buffa ] What is it?

He's here.

[ Electric Zap ]

[ Pounding on Door ]

[ Pounding on Door ]

[ Choking ]

You good?

You good?

He was at the door.

Where's Luna?

Put her to bed.

All the other door's locked?

The basement.

Go up with Luna!

Don't leave the room.

[ Dramatic Chord ]

[ Mal ] Hey!

I'll go stand watch.

[ Mal ] Now this is going to sound crazy.

Believe me

I hear it too.

But something is attacking Luna.

Has been

ever since she showed up here.

[ Buffa ] Which, where'd she come from?

- That mystery too, right?

- Just.

Now, I know it sounds crazy,

but we both saw it.

Saw what?

A figure like a person

dressed in all black.

I saw him in the woods right outside.

So you saw this person in the woods?

It tried to get in the house.

What do you mean

"it" tried to get in the house?

There's been

other things.

Like crying coming from the bedroom.

But when you go in there,

there is nothing there.

Luna nearly drowned in an empty bathtub.

The truth is, Kathy.

We don't know what it is,

but it all started the

night that Luna showed up.

And she tried to warn us.

She told us we had to protect her.

So you said you saw someone in the woods.

What is it?

Well, we've been after a fugitive.

We think he might be

in the county somewhere.

Michael Sands

He k*lled a few people in Pennsylvania

and was last seen heading this way.

Now, your woods would be a

really good hideout for a while.

Look,

this isn't a person.

What else do you think it could be, then?

A ghost?

A demon.

I'm telling you, this Sands character

nothing to mess with.

From what we know, he suffers

from paranoid schizophrenia

and has a whole host of other

disorders from a head injury.

Now, you say you saw someone in the woods.

I don't think it's such a bad idea

to take a look around the property.

There's nobody out here.

All right.

Head back.

Mal, I'm really sorry.

I know you've been under a

lot of stress since the accident.

I shouldn't have done this.

Come here, sweetheart, come with me.

Where are you going?

It's all right now.

This way everyone stay safe. Okay?

Hey, Kathy.

You're making a big mistake.

You can't take her away from here.

- Mal, it's for the best.

- Bullshit!

Something is trying

to attack her, and it's

going to happen if I'm

not there. Step back!

Luna, just tell her what you saw.

- Tell her what happened.

- No!

Stay back.

What, are you going to sh**t me?

Mal, I don't like this

any more than you do.

I'm taking her somewhere safe.

She's safe with me.

Mal!

I'm here.

You should get some sleep.

Sure you don't want me to stay?

No. It's okay.

Go home and get some rest.

She okay?

She's okay.

She had a mild seizure.

Whatever triggered it caused

abnormal electrical activity in her brain.

But her vitals are normal.

Should she spend the night?

I don't think it's necessary,

but I'll follow up with the

doctor and I'll let you know.

I would definitely tell her father

to keep an eye on her overnight.

There's something I don't understand.

I'm busy.

Since when are you

a Secret of the Forest fan?

Secret of the what?

Secret of the forest.

The show?

Yeah. I don't know what that is.

But you have the opening

written in your notebook.

You went through my notes

What do you mean?

The opening

That. I have all the tapes.

Continue, please.

[ On TV, Woman] Long ago,

the spirits were at peace.

Then came the age of the Dark One.

The spirits hid deep

within the darkest forest.

Never to be seen again.

It's good, right?

It's based on ancient Japanese folklore.

You mean the Kodama?

Yeah.

How'd you know that?

Come with me.

Hey. Don't you want to keep watching?

[ On TV, Woman ] Long ago,

the spirits were at peace.

Then came the age of the Dark One.

The spirits hid deep

within the darkest forests.

This is what she said to us.

She watches this show.

She's not from another world.

She's just a kid who watches a cartoon.

Yeah, but something is attacking her.

What'd she say that she's afraid of again?

She calls it the Dark One?

It's from the show.

The Dark One is a spirit

from Meilin's world

that's evil and wants to destroy humans.

I don't understand.

When she told us that story

it was her story.

But it's not.

It's just a cartoon.

Maybe that's how

she can understand what's happening to her.

Maybe you should take Josh home.

You're hungry?

I'll make us something to eat.

You thirsty?

Be young.

Have fun.

Drink Pepsi.

[ Wood Floor Creaking ]

[ Wood Floor Creaking ]

[ Scream ]

[ Scream ]

Luna!

Luna!

[ Kathy ] From what we know, he

suffers from paranoid schizophrenia

and has a whole host of other

disorders from a head injury.

Freeze!

[ Buffa ] What happened?

He was here.

Who was?

Someone the police have

been looking for. Michael Sands.

She knew he was coming.

She okay?

Yeah, she's

resting.

How did she know?

What are we going to do now?

I don't know.

I think I might know what's going on.

Okay.

Genres like fantasy

and science fiction often deal

with the two worlds storyline,

even if it's just for an

episode or a standalone issue.

What I mean is

in these stories, there's a

world where the character lives,

where everyone has the same history,

the same events happened in the same way.

And then there's the other world.

In science fiction, it

could be a world where,

let's say Germany won World w*r two.

But in fantasy, the other

world is typically a place

that the main character discovers

where the adventure takes place,

where magic and mythological

creatures and wizards exist.

Okay.

What does all this mean?

Well, the thing about the magical world

is that it usually exists

right on top of our world,

and only the chosen ones can see it.

So you think

Maybe her world exists right next

to our world and we just can't see it.

How can we be sure that it's there?

Well, if this were a science fiction story,

then there will most likely be objects

that are like keys to the other world.

If she's really from another world

that's almost identical to this one,

then there will probably be objects

that exist in her world and in ours.

They may be interacting

with both at the same time.

They might appear to move on their own.

Finding these objects could help

open the door to her world.

So we have to find the objects

that connect our world to hers.

How do we do that?

Well, they move on their own.

Do you see anything moving now?

Good point.

How do we do that?

I don't know.

Maybe we can use this.

[ Mal ] Ever since she

arrived, there's been

strange disturbances in the electricity

around here.

[ Josh ] Find anything

that gives off the same signal as Luna.

Well, it's stronger when they're together.

Okay.

What now?

I don't know.

The stuff is just stories from comic books.

It's never been real before.

Maybe

if we find out why these

objects are connected,

maybe that'll help us.

It's a puzzle.

Emily gave me this.

It was an early birthday present.

The night of the accident.

11 years ago.

It was in the car.

They all were.

What is it?

You need something?

You want a water?

Luna,

I need to ask you a question.

Can you answer something for me?

Luna, when's your birthday?

You know that, don't you?

Can you tell me when it is?

You don't have a Scrabble

board here, do you?

Luna, we're going to

ask you some questions.

You can use the letters to answer.

Okay?

Do you understand?

[ Buffa ] Holy sh*t.

It's working.

[ Josh ] Shh!

[ Buffa ] Sorry.

Luna,

when is your birthday?

May 11th.

May 11th. Okay.

What does that matter?

Luna, how old are you?

Ten.

What does this matter?

What's nine months before May?

Nine months.

10, 11, 12.

Three months after, so...

August. Why?

That's when the accident happened.

11 years ago.

Luna,

How did you know my name?

[ Josh ] Mom.

Do you know what she means?

It wasn't a dream.

She's writing again.

Remember.

Once upon a time.

Once upon a time.

There was a woman and a man.

And they loved each other very much.

And one day,

the woman decided to take the man on a hike

forgetting that he was afraid of heights.

And when the man realized

how high up they were,

he started to panic.

He was having trouble breathing.

And he got really scared.

And so the woman

looked at him,

and she took his hand.

And smiled.

And you smiled at me.

And do you remember what you did next?

You took my hand in your hand.

You turned it so I could

see along the horizon.

I saw the sunrise.

And it was the most beautiful thing

I had ever seen.

And you whispered in my ear.

"Breathtaking."

[ Emily ] Luna?

Are you real?

Are you real?

Please don't let me be dreaming.

I'm real.

What's happening?

I don't know.

I don't understand.

I don't understand how you're here.

What happened the night of the accident?

Mal,

you died.

You were driving us

home from the restaurant.

And we were going past the cornfields,

when a car took a turn around the bend

and lost control.

I knew we were going to hit each other.

I knew.

The car swerved

and hit the driver's side.

You took the worst of it.

They told me-It was a

miracle that you survived.

Are you a ghost?

The car didn't hit my side

it hit yours.

Luna?

She's your daughter.

We made love the night before the accident.

I didn't find out I was

pregnant for weeks.

The doctor said she wouldn't survive,

but she did.

She's a miracle.

She's special.

I thought about it before.

She must have come into this world

just at the time of the accident.

She could do things.

See things that weren't there.

She saw you.

She told me she could see you.

And then she disappeared.

I didn't know where she had gone.

I thought I'd lost her.

They searched the woods.

[Police sirens]

Emily: And then I started seeing her.

Lying in bed

like I just tucked her in.

I saw you.

Every time I trusted I'd see her again.

She was closer to me.

Just like when I lost you.

I thought I was dreaming.

All these years.

Some days I think I'll see you.

I forget when I'm asleep

and when I open my eyes

I think I'll see you laying there.

Next to me.

I don't want to wake up.

If this is a dream I don't want it to end.

Are you real?

I don't want to get out of bed.

Luna?

She'll be awake soon.

I'll go make us some coffee.

[Glass shattering]

[Scream]

[ Mal ] Hey!

It was you.

You took them from me.

[ Kathy ] He suffers from

paranoid schizophrenia

from a head injury.

It was a car accident.

The only survivors were

a ten year old boy in the

backseat of the other car, asleep

and me.

Your move.

What is it?

Your move.

[ Michael ] You k*lled them.

You're that little boy.

Your parents were in the car that hit us.

Your name is Michael.

I have no

nobody.

They're still with you.

They still see you.

I know they still love you.

I need an officer at 102 Highland Drive.

[ Man ] There are forces in the universe

that we are only now

beginning to understand.

And there's a real possibility

that every decision we ever make,

every event in our lives that

results in one outcome or another,

actually results in both

outcomes simultaneously.

And we with our consciousness

and bodies are simply in

quantum entanglement,

with only one of those

two possible universes.

To you, nothing unusual has occurred.

You just go on living your life.

But now there are two of you

in two separate universes,

entirely removed from one another.

Hey, um

Headed out.

Hey, Buffa.

Thanks.

See you tomorrow, Mal.

[ Emily ] Hi.
