This is a true story.

It happened right here in my town a few years ago.

A lot of people die and a lot of really weird things in this story.

You're not going to find it in this town or like that, because the police and the

top people in this town were like so embarrassed that they weren't able to

solve it, that they covered everything well well.

But if you come here and ask anyone, the whole time

is the same thing that I'm going to tell you now.

This story starts in my school.

A neighbor elementary is kindergarten through fifth grade.

So this one Wednesday is like a normal day for the whole school.

And they had this teacher who was new.

Her name was Justine Candy.

And on this day, she was going to her classroom just like every morning.

But today was different.

Today, none of her kids were there.

Every other class at that school had all their kids.

Even the other third grade, Mrs. Bell Top was full.

But Mrs. Candy's room was totally empty.

Well, not totally.

There was one boy there, and his name was Alex Lily.

And he was the only kid in the class of 18 that came to school that day.

And you know why?

He was the only one there.

Because the night before at 2.17 in the morning, every other kid woke up,

walked downstairs, walked across the front yard and into the dark.

And here...

Some

people at the school were really sad and upset.

The police could tell that the kids left at 2.17.

Because like half the houses had alarms that got trimmed when they walked outside.

Some of the kids even got videoed by the houses that had cameras.

But the cameras only showed the kids walking down into the darkness.

They didn't show anything when I pursued that.

The police talked to Alex a lot.

They asked him why his classmates did what they did.

But he told them he didn't know.

They asked him if there was a plan.

But he said if there was, he never heard it.

They asked him if there was a TV show where someone ran away like that.

But he said if there was, he never saw it.

They also talked to Miss Gandhi a whole bunch.

But she also didn't know anything and couldn't help them.

For almost a whole month they kept the school closed for their break investigation.

But after a while they had to open everything back up.

So that the kids that didn't disappear could learn again.

One night before they did, they had a big meeting at the school.

There was a bunch of counselors and people like that.

To help everybody figure out how to feel and be sad to get there, I guess.

This is where the story really starts.

What's important is that we don't judge our grief.

We might experience emotions we don't like.

Emotions beside sadness.

We need to make sure that we allow ourselves to feel emotions like old.

And there is a very healthy part of the group cycle.

It can be especially powerful in instances of abandonment.

Now there are often times that we have to... What's that mean?

Especially powerful in instances of abandonment?

Are you saying that we should be upset with Matthew for what happened to him?

Because I'll tell you right now that you may call it what happened to Benedict.

But I don't see it like that.

I see something that doesn't make any sense at all.

Talking about 17 kids and one classroom.

What happened to that classroom?

What just her classroom?

What only hers?

I'm thinking of a lot of emotions and that's fine.

So you'll forgive me if I'm not particularly interested in hearing any more of you.

I want to hear it from Justine Candy.

She's here.

I want to know exactly what she was doing in there.

I first...

I just want to say how very sorry I am for all of what's happened.

I know there's nothing I can say to make this better.

The truth is that I want an answer just as bad as all of you.

I love those kids.

I know.

I know.

I know.

It's not...

Now that kind of thing is really my call for.

I'm serious.

Mrs. Candy is here as an effective member of this

community and she is running just like all of us.

Everybody needs to give us some space, please.

It's been a long, long night.

We need to get some sleep.

Wake up tomorrow and we'll clear it up.

I don't have anyone to stay with tonight.

But I recommend you go straight home and let them know.

Please feel like you're done.

I need to be able to save it up.

But let's take it to see my brother, Junior.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Hello?

Hello?

Who is this?

You better walk your back because of me.

Excuse me, I'm saving up for a bus ticket to see my brother.

Do you have any change on your phone?

Sorry.

Okay, thank you.

Hello?

Hello?

Yes?

Hello?

Are you going to keep your health insurance?

And if you don't mind me saying, that's a lot

of mental health specialists on the plant.

Some of them are... I just need to work.

You know, I just need to fill my days with...

Yeah, I need to work.

So...

Justine, a scene last night was just proof

that we have a lot of emotional crowds here.

For now, I think it's best if you keep some distance from this place,

until folks find time to sort themselves out.

Alex, Alex is here.

Alex is doing well.

He's in Mrs. Bill's class and we've been advised that the

best thing that we can do for him is keep him on the routine.

Keep his life as normal as possible.

I would like to speak with him.

We've had this conversation before.

Let's have another question.

Well, I would feel so much better if I could just speak with him.

Right there.

What?

That's the problem.

You'd feel so much better.

He's been scrutinized by the press.

He's had investigators ransack his house.

He's been traumatized.

Let's try and put Alex first.

Yes?

If you're implying that I don't care about Alex or the students or...

If she wasn't you caring or not caring, the issue here is you have a pattern in

which you overstep professional lives with the students.

Oh my God, here we go.

You know I do not do overstep.

You know it's not appropriate to hug students.

Oh, I have to cry, little boy.

Lock me up.

You know driving students home is not professional.

She missed the bus.

She was close to what?

It's not appropriate.

I know all of this comes from the fact that you care.

I know that you aren't a friend to these kids,

but you have to realize you are an parent.

You're a teacher.

There's a difference.

And for that reason, no, you cannot talk to Alex, Lily.

It's just... we're the only ones left.

Yes?

Really on there, huh?

Yeah, I've been receiving phone calls as well.

For anyone's.

Yeah?

I think the caller might be responsible for this.

I don't know.

Maybe, maybe not.

Yeah, well, whatever it was, best thing to do is file a report.

Probably kids did this if they asked me.

I mean, I used to do stuff like this when I was in school.

You know, TP houses, in-gawned dish.

I never brought which on my phone, but my buddy of mine is here, so it's on his own.

Hey.

You got it?

Yeah, of course we can hug.

Jesus.

What happened to your hand there?

Oh, just see the board text.

That's it?

Sure.

Tony?

Tony?

Yeah, he'll be here.

That's fine.

I'm not gonna rush.

Wow, so I didn't expect you to come.

I'm glad you texted.

I, you know, I've been thinking about you a lot, and I wanted

a call, but I didn't know if I would make things worse.

I don't know.

Well, I'm not some little delicate flower that will tickle your new top up.

I know that.

Tony, my friend wants a drink.

Hi, come on.

Hi.

Yeah, go ahead.

How are we doing?

Hi.

I'll get a coke.

A coke?

Yeah.

Okay.

Whatever.

So, what's going on?

How are you?

Everything's unmoved.

I don't think that's true.

Go look in the car.

I hope you didn't drive here.

Why do you hope that?

I hope I didn't drive here.

Wait, don't be an asshole.

I'm not being an asshole.

I'm not being an asshole.

I'm concerned about you.

You know what?

I don't need your fucking concern.

Okay?

I'm not drunk.

Got it.

Sorry.

So, what?

Somebody vandalized your car?

They wrote witch across it.

So, yes, for your information, everybody thinks you're a witch.

So, yes.

One coke?

Thank you.

Can I give you a little... Tesla?

No.

Just some thoughts from somebody who knows you very well.

Okay.

Yep.

Try to get out of your own head.

People are not all thinking about you right now.

Okay?

The whole town is meeting with you.

I think you might actually be wrong about that.

You have a tendency to get a little woo with me.

Wow.

Wow.

And one thing I know has never helped is this.

What is this?

What?

A lonely drinking pity party.

I don't know.

Hey.

You know what I mean?

Okay.

I can't say.

Just on another earth?

No.

Really?

We're not, you know, we're not happening right now.

Wow.

It's not a big deal.

Mm-hmm.

You're ridiculous.

Look at you.

You're beaming.

Come on.

I'm one religion.

Just saying.

No.

Come on.

Just saying.

Please.

No.

What's it?

Stop, please.

You haven't changed at all.

What do you got going on today?

Work.

Working all day till late.

Okay.

I believe you.

Jesus.

What?

Don't worry.

I'm not gonna be like spam texting you all day and I... I had my lesson.

Just saying.

I'm just saying.

I'm working.

That's it.

How's work?

It's fine.

It's whatever.

Wow.

I hope that sounds a general vibe over there.

What does that mean?

Well, there are 17 missing children out there and I like to think that people in

charge of finding them aren't like, oh, we didn't learn about the jobs.

First of all, I'm not a detective.

I don't know if you know that.

Second of all, I'm hungover as shit.

I didn't realize I was getting grilled on the investigation.

No, no, no.

I'm not trying to grill.

I'm just wondering if I need to solve this thing myself.

We're on it.

You're on it.

Yep.

Okay, well, what a load off.

You're on it.

Right now, you really need to take it easy.

No one's slacking.

Don't let yourself get all...

Yeah, I'm just thinking about it.

Just leave the investigators.

It was great to see you.

Me too.

Suck my dick.

I explicitly told you not to interact with Alex.

Well, technically I didn't interact with him.

You're supposed to be home.

You're wearing this doorbell repeatedly.

That's fine through window.

Look, Kev, can we just focus on the fact that the house is bizarre?

It's interesting if I wasn't clear with you before and let me do so now.

I want you to leave him alone.

Okay, why were his windows taped up?

Doesn't that seem strange to you?

Not only because nosy people take it upon themselves to walk up in pieces.

Listen, Marcus.

I'm going to do you the courtesy for getting this phone call out into place.

What the fuck?

You fucked him?

Donna?

You fucked him?

No, no, no.

I didn't fuck him.

I didn't fuck him.

No, no, no.

No, he said he wanted to gather.

Mark!

You got him!

Stop!

Charlie, it's nice to see you!

And you got him!

Stop!

Go the one you did!

Go the one you did!

Alex, hi!

How are you?

I just wanted to say hi because I've been thinking

about you a lot and I want to make sure you're okay.

I'm okay.

Yeah?

Because I know it's been a really hard time for me and

I can't even imagine how it's been like... I have to go.

Hey, hang on, please.

I just want to make sure that everything's all right.

Don't follow me!

Hello!

Hello!

They call you on the morning, boss?

Yeah, it's a snack, I don't know where.

I think it's looking.

A little bit of chaotic morning.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Mark went to go pick up the siding, but didn't have it in.

Okay, there's an order that we got placed.

All right, I'm sorry about that.

Yeah, we got an order coming Friday before we walked through.

We still had to open Framling.

What's on this, my back?

Then I stood up and I see that album and handed

the door with the paint that you ordered.

Yeah?

The one for was green, that's red.

What?

God damn it, wait a minute, did they send the order?

We ordered it.

They said we asked for it, but we asked for what was the order.

All right, I fucked up.

I'll take it back, get the right one.

Mr. Graham?

Yeah.

We follow up on every one of these calls.

So I can assure you that as we speak, we have officers aggressively pursuing

every lead that comes through this station.

What about the five-figure revenue?

There continues to be a very healthy information exchange, so I can tell you

with full confidence that they are also pursuing every lead aggressively.

What's happening with the canine units?

I haven't heard about any canine reports in

a long time because they don't report to you.

Mr. Graham, I can understand your passion and I don't mind having these

conversations with you because, God forbid, if it was my child I'd be

demanding answers too, but I need you to trust that

what we're doing, she's still not talking to her.

She knows.

I disagree with that.

You're aggressively following up on every lead and yet

she's just out there walking around free as a bird.

Have you done any looking into her whatsoever?

Excessively, yes, we have.

So you know about her past?

Because I've done some digging and I've found out a lot.

She had a DUI two years ago.

Did you not see that?

She was let go from her last school.

Did she talk out for inappropriate behavior?

Did you not see that one either?

With a member of the faculty.

She's a troubled person.

Is she not?

What is it you think that she knows?

What do you think it is that she's not telling us because

those kids walked out of those homes no one pulled them out?

I'm not forced to know that.

I don't see anything whatsoever that points to that moment.

What do you see that I don't?

I see something that I don't understand at all.

We're talking about 17 kids in one classroom.

And none of them talked about it?

We got how many parents in here and none of us saw it coming?

I want to know what happened in that classroom.

Why just her classroom?

Why only?

We're stupid.

Just kidding me.

That's enough.

Everybody needs to give us some space.

Please, please.

Let's all get a good night's sleep.

All right.

Matthew?

Matthew?

Matthew!

Stop!

Wait.

Matthew?

Matthew, where are you?

Where did you go?

Oh, talk to me.

Talk to me!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that I wasn't able to...

that I wasn't able to...

wanted to say it so many times.

I really do want to say it all the time because they feel it all the time.

I

Love this place.

What the fuck?

Hello?

How are you?

I'm... Archegraph.

I know you are.

I know we haven't spoken before.

We've spoken before directly.

We've seen each other in a lot of the same... How are you?

I'm good.

I'm real good.

You know, all things considered.

Soldering on.

You have to.

Don't leave me.

We do.

Listen, I'm sorry to surprise you at home like this in the middle of the day,

but I don't know if you know, but we got some footage of Matthew leaving the house

on our ring camp thing here.

I think you folks have the same...

Same situation with Bailey?

Yeah, that's right.

Alright, well, I'm sure you showed yours to the police just like I did.

I wondered if you would mind letting me take a look at it.

I don't need a copy or anything.

I'm not comfortable with that.

Okay, I understand.

Gary!

Archegraph, how are you doing?

Fine.

Matthew's done.

Yeah, of course.

How's it going?

I have a strange question I need to ask you.

It's kind of hard to watch this.

Wait, go back to where she steps on the sidewalk.

Right there.

What do you see?

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Hey.

I want to talk to you.

I don't think we have anything to say, Rachel.

Yeah, I think you have a lot to say.

You and every other person in this city believe me.

The message is loud in here.

I'm the problem.

Got it.

You know what?

I think that's the first honest thing I've heard you say.

You are the problem.

What?

You want to get in my face?

You want to threaten me?

Well, nobody's threatening you right now.

You're going to part me out of the wrong tree, okay?

Are you like this whole victim persona that you're taking on?

It might have to be you.

No!

Hey!

Hey!

Just stay down.

How's the hotel?

Well,

it's only for six nights, right?

Three actual nights.

Is that great? Yeah, it's good.

And I was supposed to ovulate Friday so we can hit the target this morning.

Nice.

Okay.

Yeah.

Good.

I thought you'd like that.

Oh!

Will you tell my dad when you see him today that I'll be back so we can make

your number three lunch thing?

Yeah, I'll let him know.

He'll be happy.

You're about to start your shift.

Yep.

You got to get a meeting afterwards.

Um, I wasn't planning on it.

I thought he'd have time on it.

Especially when you wanted to spend his chances along.

I think it's important for things to go the way you like.

I'm not going to drink, Donna.

I feel fine.

If I don't feel fine, then I'll hit a meeting.

Okay.

I got to get going now.

Okay.

Over you.

Love you.

Hey, Ed.

Hey, buddy.

Donna's back Friday.

So we're good to have lunch with you guys on Sunday.

Why's she going to my group?

Yes, she's going to my group.

She wanted me to let you know that we're in...

Okay, sounds good.

Anniversary lunch?

Yep.

Well, thanks.

Well, congratulations.

Have fun.

A lot of years.

You calling me old?

No, no.

Why would you call me old?

No, I wasn't saying that.

I'm giving you a shift.

Just start my shift here.

Roger that.

Where'd you...

Stop right there, police.

Dude, please stop, stop, stop, stop.

Shut up, I was waiting.

I weren't there, man.

You lost my keys.

Please.

I lost my keys.

Please, please.

Are you okay?

Yes, officer, I'm okay.

We went down pretty hard there.

Are you good?

Officer, I'm okay.

Please call my warehouse.

You can look the number up online.

I'm calling to work you right now.

How's the seconds, okay?

Let's walk back to the car.

One, two, three.

Hey, what's your name, sir?

James.

James, okay.

Stand right here for me, James.

You got any weapons on you?

No.

No?

How about drugs?

Do you hold anything?

No, sir.

Anything in your pocket is going to stick.

They want to put my hand in there, Joe.

No, sir, I do not.

You sure?

I don't want to get broke by anything.

I have nothing, sir.

Okay, James.

Hold still for me there.

Shouldn't run from the police, sir.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Up.

Up.

Get up.

Hey.

You hear me?

James, you're with me.

What the fuck?

You're hitting me, bro.

Here's what's going to happen now.

I'm going to take these cucks off you, okay?

I'm going to get in my car in a second.

I'm going to drive away.

But are you listening to me?

I don't want to see you here again, okay?

The way I see it, I did you wrong.

You did me wrong.

Let's just call it a day.

But if I see you out here again, it's going to be a different story.

Yes?

Yes?

I mean it.

Okay, consider yourself warm.

Now, let's get up.

I'm going to take these cucks off you.

One, two.

All...

Okay, listen.

As long as this isn't reported, that footage is going to sit in the drive

somewhere and it's going to get recorded over in about a month.

And if that fucking citizen doesn't come back here in a month and file a complaint,

this could all go away.

But if they do, all you've been being serious about are...

you get that hand checked out.

Hello?

Where's the kid hiding?

Hello?

Paul?

Hey.

Where have you been?

You're home.

I am.

Someone got sick and they think everyone on my team are worse.

Where have you been?

I was, uh, I don't know.

Where?

Paul.

Son of a bitch.

Hey!

What did I tell you?

What did I tell you?

Where the fuck are you?

Fuck them!

Right here, right here, right here.

God damn it!

Fuck!

Fuck!

Fuck the clown!

God damn it!

Fuck the girl!

Yes.

God damn it!

Ah!

Fucking shit!

Fuck!

Yeah, you phone.

You can see it, then.

I'm feeling a job yesterday.

Yeah, thank you, man.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Yeah, um, so I just like a little team kind of problem because I just,

uh, I can't hurt the, like, new shoes and, uh, you know,

whole outfit because, you know, like I said, it's dancing.

And, um... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

It's a good thing.

I got a job and I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm I'm freaking, I'm doing the thing.

And I don't want to start chewing again.

Ooh!

For someone to pay my own tax, but I can't do that until I get the,

you know, money to get the clothes so that I

can do the job so that I can pay mom's tax.

Hello?

Ah!

Fucking bitch!

Fuck, fuck, fuck!

Hey, man, I feel like I was in communication very well.

The important thing is that I get just, like, a little bit of money so that I can

get the clothes to the job so that I can get to the job, obviously.

So, please call me back so I can communicate that better.

Thanks for letting me love you.

Hell yeah!

No.

No?

I don't want.

I mean, why don't you know what?

This is good.

These are good.

These are good.

Look, this one's like 50 bucks.

No.

20.

10.

5.

Please, dude, please.

What if I see you out here again?

It's gonna be a different story.

Yeah.

Okay, consider yourself warned.

Fuck off.

Fuck.

Fuck, what the fuck?

Fuck.

Fuck.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I love you.

Hello?

You good?

Sorry.

Fuck.

Sorry.

Sorry.

What the fuck?

Fuck.

Fuck.

Fuck.

What the fuck?

Fuck.

Fuck you.

Fuck.

20.

60.

18.

100.

Hey.

I'm calling about the $50,000 reward for information about the missing kids,

because I know where they are.

I mean, I'm pretty sure all of them, I don't look like bunch of them.

They're all standing in the basement of this house, just like standing there.

And, yeah, I don't know.

They're just like in the basement, standing all still and shit.

There's like fucking two wackos over there, and they're just like fucked up.

But so, how's this film work though?

How do I get the money?

No, I'm not.

I'm completely serious.

I mean, I can show you.

Like, I'll show you.

But I just, I really don't want to come in, because

someone could meet me somewhere with the cats.

I just, I really don't like police stations.

You know, this kind of freaks me out.

I'm phobic.

Thank you.

What are you doing, huh?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

I'm a big cop, but I'm...

You okay?

You okay?

Ah!

Ah!

You!

Fuck off!

You stabbed me!

What the fuck?

There's an exit!

There's an exit!

I'm sorry!

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, I know where those kids are!

That fucking wireless, can we just stay here?

You're fucking lying!

I promise, I promise.

I know where they are.

I promise.

Where?

At house.

Not far in the basement.

What the fuck is?

What house?

I can show you, man.

It's really, really, really close.

Do you have AIDS?

AIDS asshole, do you have AIDS?

I don't think so.

Can I pretend you just shit like that?

I mean, you shit not that I know of.

Excuse me, sir.

I don't want to be rude, but, like, how do I know you're not going to try and,

like, take that word for yourself?

Sir?

Sir?

Officer?

What the fuck?

What the fuck?

Fuck!

Oh, thank you.

If you

don't believe me, come here yourself.

I wouldn't traumatize enough by the events of

the last three months, as I'm sure you have.

Which is why I'm going to do you the courtesy of

forgetting that this phone call ever took place.

If a child's welfare is questioned by law, you have to refer it to CPS by law.

Are you really going to take it there?

Is this the point you're going to put me in?

You're just going to make the house call, Marcus.

Just do that.

I'm not authorized to just make house calls.

Well, you're a mandatory reporter.

You have to.

Okay, here's what I'll do.

I'll invite these parents, come in, have a talk with me.

We'll have a face-to-face at the school.

Is that acceptable to you?

Yes, thank you.

I would really appreciate that.

Okay, then.

You're welcome.

Goodbye.

You're up.

You're two o'clock is here.

That's fine.

Oh, Salomon, please march.

This way, ma'am.

Principal Miller, I'm glad to see you.

Yes, hi, hi.

Come in.

Have a seat.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you, march.

Thank you for coming in.

I know you guys have had a lot of attention lately, not all of it,

but possibly be one.

I'm happy to come by.

It's fine.

Okay, forgive me.

We have not met, is that right?

No, I don't think so.

Okay, you, because I was relatively certain I remembered.

I know I've met Alex's father before.

I'm Alex's aunt, and his mom's my baby sister.

Okay, so you're not his legal guardian?

Well, no, that would be his parents, of course.

Okay, well, forgive me, Gladys, but unfortunately I need to speak with his parents.

Well, I hate to say it, but his parents have been feeling unwell as of late,

and I'm staying with them to help take care of Alex.

Oh, that's serious.

Oh, no, no, it's not serious.

That's in terminal.

It's just a touch of consumption.

A touch of consumption?

Yeah.

You know what?

I'm embarrassed to say, I guess I don't really know what that means.

I thought it was something Senla's got on the Oregon Trail.

Why is it to perkylosis?

You know what?

We are doing just fine, but they need to stay home.

I have hope to speak to them in person, because this is awkward, but a concerned

individual has lodged a welfare complaint, and unfortunately

I need to make contact with the child's legal guardian.

It's something that's not really negotiable.

I need to speak with the parents in person.

Oh, dear.

I could come over to the house if that would make it easier.

I'm just trying to avoid embezzling CPS, but

frankly I'm not convinced that anything is wrong.

Who made the complaint?

I'm not at liberty to say.

Well, this is very upsetting.

It is now that whole free will has been lost.

The end moves under the bill.

For more fooding occurs next.

Large trees that serve to spread loose words that will find more.

Thank God you're home.

I'm so sorry to disturb you on a Saturday.

Oh, please, please forgive me.

I'm just sitting down.

The bus didn't pick me up where it was scheduled to, and I had realized far too

late that I was standing on the wrong corner and by the time I put that

together, oh, I'd missed it entirely, so I had to walk all the way across town

to get here.

Well, I'm so sorry to hear that.

I am sorry to tell you this, sweetie, but I am on the verge of collapse.

Oh.

Could I please have some water?

I'm afraid that's fine.

Oh, of course.

You can have some water.

Oh, thank you so much.

My name is Gladys.

It's so nice to meet you.

Oh, I absolutely love this house.

Look, a giraffe in a green Chinese look.

That's original in there, I bet it is.

Oh, I love this kitchen.

Clean white cabinets.

How are these in the back?

Now, listen, I know that it's inconvenient, but I really needed to speak

to you about our conversation yesterday.

Oh.

Park your skittery glasses.

A bowl, please.

A bowl?

Yes, a bowl.

It's a peculiarity of mine.

I don't even try to rationalize it anymore.

All right.

A bowl of water, okay.

Thank you.

I wanted you to know that I talked to Alex's father, who's very old,

as I said, but the good news is, he's willing to have to

come in Monday, sit down with you and clear everything up.

No, I appreciate that, but really isn't necessary.

So, there's no need to contact the authorities, right?

That's not true.

I guess not.

Well, you haven't contacted them yet, right?

That is, I'm willing to have to insist that you were.

Is that why you're willing?

You haven't contacted them, right?

No, I haven't.

What is this?

Oh, my God!

Whoops!

Look what I did!

Oh, my goodness!

Why did you do that?

Well, it was an accident, of course.

Wow, that's really bleeding.

Terry, go get the alcohol in the first aid kit.

Oh, no, no, no.

That's nonsense.

Could you get me a rag, sweetie?

Ah!

Ah!

I think she cut my hair!

I'm calling 911.

Alex, I think she cut my hair!

Marcus, what did she do?

Oh, my God!

Hey, stop!

Get out of my store!

Fucking help me!

Are you okay?

Yeah, I think so.

I just scraped up.

Yeah, you?

What's that?

I want to thank you.

No, I do, so thank you.

Sure.

What else could I do?

I was out of control.

The last time I talked to him, he was fine.

He really was.

I've never seen anything like that in my life.

I have.

What are you talking about?

The way he was running, I've seen that before.

Can I show you something?

Their little girl ran the same way Matthew did.

Same posture, same exact way, just like Marcus ran after you today.

And he was weaponized, like a heat-seeking missile just blocked onto you.

So here, look at this.

This is my house, this is Bailey Cramer's house.

Now, if you assume they were heading in a straight line at just some target of

theirs, and you assume they both had the same target, those lines intersect

somewhere around here.

Oh, my God.

So there must be something about this area.

Alex Lee was in this house.

Who else would say of an example of parasite?

Anyone?

Stop it!

Stop it!

Stop it!

Stop it!

What's up, Axe Man?

Doctor me, Axe Man.

How's school today?

Good.

You kissing Super Mom?

No.

Fine.

Well, a nice tonight, pal.

Your mom's in a class.

She's coming, remember?

Well, I don't have to have a little bit of a house.

Because it's like we talked about.

She's sick, and she doesn't have anywhere else to go.

But I don't even know her though.

I hear you, but I don't know her either.

I'm not sure your mom knows that well, but she's family.

Family's important.

You gotta help each other.

Hey, come and get it.

Hey.

The man has returned.

Hi.

Whoa, hey!

Good day in school?

Yeah.

Hey, good.

We'd really like to get this house cleaned up before your aunt Gladys gets here.

So do me a favor, get your room cleaned up before you start your homework.

He's not coming to my room, is he?

I really like a clean house.

That includes your room.

So, let's go.

I know it's horrible cleaning up after yourself.

What's

the place for you?

You know what?

I have a fear out on the street, Stephen.

Well, you know, there ain't a hot, hot place.

I know that.

We're not equipped for this kind of thing.

We haven't seen this woman in 15 years.

She showed up to our wedding.

Look, I'm gonna do this for her.

So I'm gonna do this for her.

I'm gonna use your support at any point you feel it.

Alex, honey, what are you doing?

I'm hungry.

Hungry?

Okay.

All right, then go downstairs, eat up, and then go brush your teeth, okay?

It's almost 7.30.

And be quiet back there.

You're gonna Gladys is sleeping.

How long is she gonna stay with us?

Hard to say, pal.

Doesn't look like she's getting much better.

So she's gonna stay with us forever?

No.

I don't think she'll be here longer than a month.

All right, then.

All right.

I'll pick you up at 2, okay?

See ya.

See ya.

Love ya.

Love ya.

It's time.

Pencil down.

Matthew.

What?

Say Pencil down.

Matthew outside now.

Alex, are you okay?

Fine.

Matthew, let's go.

Get your bag.

Oh, my God.

You all right?

I'm okay.

You sure?

Mom?

Dad?

Where were you?

Hey, X-Man.

Alex's cool.

What's wrong?

Alex?

Oh, welcome home.

How are you, sweetie?

Let me take a look at you.

Oh, you know, I haven't seen you since you were a little teeny baby.

It's almost my parents.

Oh, it's nothing, sweetie.

I've been just fine.

Hey.

How was school?

You see, I told you she's just fine.

Don't.

Alex.

Now, don't be rude.

Why don't you sit down at the table, because I'm making dinner.

I should have asked you, but you weren't here.

So I brought mac and cheese with me.

Dad!

Alex, that's it.

I want you to go upstairs, wash your face, brush your teeth, and then it's bedtime.

No dinner for you.

I'm not kidding, young man.

Go.

Come.

Sit.

Alex, sit.

Don't worry about your parents.

They're just resting.

Now, before you go to school today, I want you to promise that you will not

tell our living souls that I am here, or that your parents are resting like they are.

Do you hear me, Alex?

Watch.

Are you watching?

Stop!

Stop!

Dad!

Alex!

Sit down.

Now, when I tell you that you are not to speak about me or your parents to anyone,

you understand what can happen if you break your promise.

I can make your parents hurt themselves.

I can make them hurt each other.

I can make them eat each other if I want to.

Do I want to, Alex?

Do you believe me?

Promise you will not talk about me to another human being.

Say it.

Say it, Alex?

Because I'll know, Alex.

Go to school.

Take the bus.

No talking today.

You'll need to feed your parents their soup in the cabinet.

Tomorrow, you'll get some more.

Come here, sweetie.

I'm very sick, Alex.

Would you like some water?

The water won't help me.

I'm too sick for water.

I haven't for a very long time.

Well, it won't be better.

Well, I was hoping your mom and dad would make me feel

better, but it doesn't seem to be turning out so good.

Would you like to go to a hospital?

Hospital won't fix me.

But maybe you could, though.

You could help.

Help?

Well, it's school.

Bring an object from each of your classmates home to me.

That might work.

How about making better?

Might be just what I need.

Does he got better when you go back home?

If I got better, I'd go back home.

Alex!

I

Didn't feel like playing.

I forgot something.

Oh, hey, hey, hey.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Yeah?

You've been awful quiet lately.

Quite unusual.

How are you doing?

I'm okay.

I just forgot something.

It's okay.

Alex, you know, if you ever want to talk to someone, you can always talk to me.

Do you know that?

Yeah.

You can talk to me about anything you want.

I don't want to go back now.

Okay.

Go play.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

And I'm taking care of the family for the time being.

Alex, how are you doing now?

I'm okay.

Can I ask you some questions about what happened at school, Alex?

Tomorrow people will come here.

And they will search this house.

And we have to be ready.

Bye.

Good to see you again.

Good to see you too.

Oh, yes.

We just wanted to come by the house for a few minutes to daddy and local around the

city environment and I wanted to let you know.

Okay.

Oh, thank you.

Hey Alex, how are you doing today?

There's a little client today, right?

He's here.

He is.

Hello?

That's your thing, Alex.

We're leaving tomorrow.

Don't step over the salt.

The cops are here.

What do you think that means?

I don't know.

Do we not?

Do we come back?

Maybe we not.

And say what?

Yeah, I don't know.

Here we go.

Where is this?

That's Paul.

You know him?

Yeah.

Hello?

What are you doing back there?

Wait.

Ah!

Let's... Let's...

Ah!

Matthew!

Matthew!

Matthew!

Matthew!

Matthew!

That's good.

That's good.

Just like that.

That's me.

Oh no!

No!

Find our shoe!

Oh my gosh!

Oh my gosh!

That's the man in the kichen!

Alex?

Matthew?

Alex's parents are still being fed soup somewhere... not by him.

But without you...

He moved to another town and lived with a different old.

I heard that one was a nice city.

All of the kids from his class got reunited with their parents.

Some of them even started talking again this year.
