picture, right? She didn't actually hurt anyone.

She didn't hurt anyone, no, but Miss Thompson was concerned when she saw it.

Okay. Mommy, come on. How bad can it be?

You know?

Wow.

All right. We felt a phone call wouldn't convey the... Blood?

Well, the seriousness.

That's a lot of blood. Mm -hmm.

Well, I mean, this down here could be grass.

The grass is coming out of the boy's head.

Oh, yeah, it is.

She also labeled it.

Oh, she did.

She sure did.

No, Paul.

This boy in the picture, is he based on a real person?

Bowman.

Seems like you have a lot of strong feelings about Bowman.

You know, feelings aren't bad.

You can't really control how someone makes you feel. Inbox.

What?

My dad says that you can't control your inbox, but you can control your outbox.

I love that.

What kind of stuff have you had in your inbox lately?

It can fill up really quickly sometimes.

And when it does, it's easy to lose control of your outbox and react to

than negative ways.

Can you think of any... Pulling out their eyeballs.

Okay. Dating them to, like, millions of bugs. You're right. Those would be

very... Pushing them off of a plane with a parachute, but when they pull the

cord instead of a parachute, it's poisonous meat. Okay. Pause.

I have a question for you, Amber. And you can be totally honest with me.

Okay.

Did you actually want something bad to happen to Bowman?

And now that you did the right thing to me.

I think drawing this was a much healthier choice than pulling out his

What do you say?

You know what you could have done that would have been a lot worse?

If I took a machete and I'll show you.

Right here.

What do you see?

Nothing.

You could have let that anger sit inside of you, growing bigger, stronger, and

scarier, but you didn't.

You put it right here, where it can't hurt anyone.

I apologize. I usually have ones that are less cat -centric.

This is your new outbox.

You told her about that?

When you get angry, sad, or scared, you know, all that stuff that goes in your

inbox, put it in here.

And you don't have to let anyone see it.

But I would encourage you, when you're ready, to share it with someone,

preferably your dad, and talk about it.

Okay?

Do you have a pen?

It's a serving plate. Why do you need a serving plate?

Pizza comes in a serving plate.

No, it's nicer when it's on a plate.

The special plate is for one person on special days.

This dilutes the special plate.

Okay, you'll never use the word dilute in your life.

I know words.

Who taught you words?

I didn't knock out all the walls to open up my face.

What? When house hunters, they're always like, I've totally knocked out this

wall and opened up the face.

When are you asking house hunters?

I mean, I sure do.

What are we called if we still have one parent?

What?

Are we orphans?

No, no. Simple bastards?

Wow, no.

You have a dad. I'm alive.

Then what are we?

You're just, you're kids.

Just regular kids.

Am I a bastard?

Come on.

I didn't understand.

What do you call an orphan that still has a dad?

A child whose mother has died, but whose father is alive, is called a maternal

orphan. Okay, good. We're learning lessons. That's beautiful. Thank you.

A morphin.

It's morphin time! Stop!

Single! Dad!

Stop! Pizza!

Dad! Stop! Hey, Jack, come on. Oh, I said stop!

Leave her alone. Leave her alone, Jasmine. Leave her alone.

Fool, don't throw it away. It's broken, man. We can fix it. No, we can't fix it.

Yes, we can.

I can. No, you can't, man.

Whatever. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Yeah, I know.

I can't right now. Can you talk to mom?

Mom!

Yeah?

Jack said he was going to draw a mask, but I just drew a butt.

Come here.

How do I fix it?

Don't worry, I have an idea.

What are you drawing?

It won't be a butt, I promise.

Wouldn't Jack always draw butts?

These buttons are awesome.

There we go.

Now we match.

I can still see the butt.

Hey, sweetheart, let's just leave it home for today, okay?

You'll be okay. You really will. What if you won't look at it?

I will not look at it.

I promise.

Give her your covenant.

What? Give her your covenant.

Give me your covenant.

What are we, a cult? Yo, we good?

I give you my covenant.

Now forge a blood oath. Thank you.

It's okay. No.

Amber, stop being a jerk. Just take the notebook.

Do you have a trimmer?

Oh, my God. Sorry, I should have knocked.

Do you have a trimmer? There's a spot out in the front that I need to fix up.

Yeah, okay.

I'm not being cruel about it, but I'm still seeing a lot of faces.

Oh, sorry.

Yeah, I meant to take those down.

Where are you going to be?

What? Where are you going to be while they're in here?

My van. What van?

My van in the driveway. In the driveway?

You know you can't, like, come in while they're here, right?

What kind of a question is that? It's just...

Something you don't do. I'm not going to come in. Okay, well, promise me.

I give you my covenant.

What? Exactly. That's a weird thing to say, isn't it?

Covenant? This house looks better than it's looked in years. When are we going

to call this done?

When somebody buys it.

So a puff of grass and some pictures of my kids is going to prevent that?

Do you want to sell this house?

Yeah.

Why did you pause?

I didn't pause. Because that was a rhetorical question.

I said yes.

We have people coming in like 30 seconds, so you've got to not pause.

I asked that question. I didn't pause.

Now you're pausing. Okay, well, if you're having a second thought. It was

pause. I see.

Maybe it makes pausing. Okay, well, you're the most exhausting person that

ever there. Do not come in the house.

Knock out this wall.

This load -bearing wall?

Oh!

This is my brother, Taylor.

Hello.

Yeah,

why don't we go look in the main room, okay? Okay.

Taylor, Taylor, Taylor, Taylor.

And as you can see, this room is big enough to fit a California king.

Okay, we'll try again at three.

Yeah.

You did nice.

What even is all that?

Tentacle. Let's see.

Okay, go to the bathroom and wash it off. We already tried at school.

Well, clearly not hard enough. But first, bring me all your art supplies.

Why? Because I'm going to take them for the rest of the week.

What? Okay, no. I'm going to take them for the rest of the week. That's not

fair. What's not fair is people thinking the wrong thing about you.

I don't care what people think of me. Oh, well, you should.

No, I didn't mean that.

You know what I meant.

Okay, look. I had to clean up everybody's room before the show went

accidentally spilled coffee everywhere.

Did you look at it?

Why did you pause?

Oh, come on. You looked at it! You gave me your coffee!

You still have -

here to show the house and we've got a gift from the van.

What are you doing?

I found chalk in the closet.

Thank you.

Is that me?

Wow.

You drew that very fast.

Eiders.

Eiders. They're taking your stuff.

My stuff?

Your phone.

coffee mug, your fingernails, your eyeballs.

Okay. I got it. I got it.

Do you know what I miss?

You used to bring me all this stuff.

Like every ten minutes you'd walk into my room and bring me eighteen new things

you'd drawn.

You're just throwing them away.

One second.

Is that mold?

No, that's not mold. That's a child's art project, right? Because it's taped

the wall. Taylor?

I don't know. I don't know. Sorry.

He doesn't come with the house.

Did you ask him if that's mold? No.

All right.

Okay.

Cut a heart.

Yep.

Super lion.

Hmm?

what do you have in the time of his life um

dave dave dave z he's sleeping

dave who's sleeping why of course remember that

here

you have every right to be mad at me

You really do. I'm so, so sorry I looked at your book. I really am.

But do not tell me that I don't treasure every single thing you've ever made for

me. Every single thing.

You have to promise not to freak out.

this is the blood eater it eats blood and pukes the blood back onto people

is the tattler it tells the blind one where you are so it can come kill

you these are stabadons they swoop down

and stab you in the face and you've seen this one

It's an old family favorite.

I see you colored it in.

Do you think it made it less scary?

Oh, no. No, you don't have to worry about that.

No, no, no.

Oh, come on.

I couldn't find a picture of it, so I had to draw it how I remembered.

Yeah. Well, you did a good job.

And all that.

You're incredibly creative.

Here's the thing, okay?

I think life is all about balancing the good and the bad, you know? So look, if

you don't carry the good with you too, then it's just going to make the bad

stronger.

No, no, no, no. I'm not saying get rid of the bag.

I'm just saying you might want to include a little bit of the good.

That's it.

What do you do?

I just want to add a couple things.

Okay, this is my only copy of how you're drawing.

All right.

Okay, what's that?

Snitch house.

In case people don't die when he crushes them. Yeah, that tracks.

That's smart.

Do you want a sandwich?

In a second.

Are those them? Are those them?

What are you doing here?

Why do you have them all? I don't. It's you. It's right there.

Come on. Go have it. Give her a shot.

Give her a shot. Give her a shot.

My

notebook.

No. Don't hurt the water.

Take that, you leave.

It's ruined.

Take that, you leave.

I think we got robbed. What are you doing over there?

Working. Did you at least call us in first?

It's the next thing I was going to do.

People really break in just to fill office supplies.

We lose all out.

Where are you going?

new day let's go let's go let's go my goodness ah look at that light

all right

let's go amber i'm in here

what are you doing did you come in there the whole night

i heard popping on my window

What kind's happening?

Like scratching.

Oh, well, it's probably just a bird.

Or a squirrel, sweetheart.

What in the... Well, maybe it's just bird poop or something.

Like bird.

Let's get dressed. Come on. The bus is on its way. Come on.

None of your business.

All of my business.

I will tell you everything.

Did you just lick my hand?

That's disgusting.

We'll talk about it on the bus. No, we'll talk about it now.

No, we're going to talk about it on the bus.

Hey, Jack.

Hey, Jack.

Hey, Amber, can you tell Miss Thompson to hold the bus for just a second?

Hey, is everything okay?

Yeah, why?

Well, I mean, I know I've been working through some stuff with Amber lately,

you might not feel like I'm really available to you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's fine.

But I am, and I don't want you to be afraid to come to me with anything.

What is it?

You know Amber's no book?

Yeah.

I found this place in the woods where mom used to, like, walk.

Yeah? It fixed my phone and put the special plate back together.

What are you talking about?

We dropped Amber's notebook in it.

And now I'm worried that Amber's drawings might be... Yeah?

Alive.

Okay, get on the bus.

What? I'm trying to be real with you, man.

Oh, my.

Get on the bus. That was so creepy.

Listen to me.

I love you so much.

And when you're ready to grow up and be real with me, I'm here, okay?

Go. You're going to be late. Sorry.

Sorry.

in a comment on how disgusting this is, okay?

And how long have you had vines here? Their roots are growing through the

screen, Taylor!

The people coming this morning are a sweet, young, fiscally responsible and

incredibly boring couple.

The only way they're not going to love this place is if some creepy weirdo

busting in every three minutes.

And I swear, Taylor, if you do that, I will murder you in front of them. What

the hell is this?

My mug was right here. Yeah, take care of it. You go. What about the mess?

You're holding it.

Oh, oh.

Oh, I see you took down... All the faces? Yeah, because the person that

they would didn't.

Oh, yeah, sorry.

Can I actually ask you a question about the faces?

Yeah.

I noticed that...

Was that intentional?

Yeah.

Go, go, go, go, go, go.

Can we talk about this later, please? It sounded like a roar.

It wasn't a roar. Yes, it was.

If it was a roar, it was probably just a mountain lion.

Hey, we don't have mountain lions.

Hey, no problem. We do have bobcats, though.

That's not a bobcat. It wasn't a bobcat.

What were you doing out there?

What was that pond?

And what made that roar sound?

A bobcat made that roar sound.

And the pond was just a pond.

And I was out there doing...

My cousin once saw a bobcat in his living room. This is a private

Yeah, on a public bus.

What is that? Old people music. He's talking about the blue stuff in the

Hey, guys, get back in your seats now.

Back in your seats.

Hey, Carol, I've got...

We need to leave.

What? Why?

Carol, it's funny. Can you come in? Miss Thompson?

Hey, I just came up here on a wreck on Madison involving a pickup truck and...

Miss Thompson! Amber, what is it?

It's not a Bobcat.

Wisconsin.

I'm going to check her vitals. What are her vitals?

Something only boys have. Her heartbeat.

Is it one finger or two?

Try three.

I can feel her heartbeat, and I can see her breathing.

Front door jammed.

Can we get out the back door?

No.

Amber, how do you know that thing?

Leave her alone.

She was saying we need to leave.

Stop screaming.

You're the reason he attacked us in the first place. How?

You woke him up.

When he beat the horn.

His name is Dave.

He crushes people.

And I sneak to kill whoever doesn't die from the crushing.

He used to be sleeping, but you woke him up.

His name is Dave?

How do you make him fall asleep?

When we got here he was playing music.

We're going to make him fall asleep using music.

It basically does everything the phone does, except call people.

Phone, can one of us have a turn? Almost got it!

Turn it the other way. You're doing it wrong.

Got it!

I got it!

Yes!

I'm starting to get my head in the air.

Sarah, you're breaking up. Can you repeat that?

My phone.

It's my phone.

I think this is the one. Great.

Sorry. I can't tell my phone. The school's trying to call me. I think

might be wrong.

I'll try calling you.

Sorry.

I just saw a spider.

We usually don't have spiders around here.

Actually, I'm lying. We have a ton of spiders within the other woods.

Um, you're bleeding.

What?

I'm sorry, can you elaborate on what you mean by a ton of spiders?

Taylor. Let's go to the car.

What?

I hear Dave attacking the school bus.

Really?

My two moms are attacking other people, too.

Thank you.

Two students are accounted for at a gas station down the road with just minor

injuries. Why are they my kids?

We have Carson Quinn and Demarcus Davidson.

They said they did witness Jack, Amber Wyatt, and Bowman Lynch make it off the

bus, but they can't confirm they made it to the gas station. They're probably

headed home right now. I bet that's where they're going.

I knew she had something to do with this.

I feel like a witch.

for you.

She's looking for a bunch of people. Then I'll see you. What is your deal?

back off. You back off. You're just a witch, right?

It was trying to save your life, not mine.

So call her a witch one more time. She's a witch. Are you for real?

was the right thing to do.

Whenever I thought of stuff like that, I would try, and then I wouldn't feel it

anymore.

I promise I didn't want this.

I don't know how to get rid of them.

Look, I know you think I'm insane. I'm processing it. The spider I saw in the

house looked exactly like the one she drew in her notebook. Well, don't you

think it's possible that she saw one of those things and that's what gave her

the idea to draw it? No, because it was an eyeball with legs. I saw an eyeball

with legs, all right? When do you see that? And she says it goes around and

steals your personal belongings and stuff.

Come on. She calls them eiders. I love her brain.

Why would you say that? No, I'm with you. I'm here. I just, I think maybe

being a little crazy right now.

What are you doing? No, don't touch me.

I know

this

cat. What's wrong?

Don't touch me. Don't slap me on it. There's more to the cat than what it's

letting on. Did you just say there's more to this cat than what it's letting

Amber drew that?

Just horrifying parts.

She's working through some stuff.

What kind of stuff?

It needs to be a weapon.

Something that can kill them all at once. A huge gun. No. A smoker. No. A

smoker. Stop talking.

I'm helping.

It needs to be something that we can throw into the pot.

that will instantly kill all the monsters, but only the monsters at once.

Slash kill at E.

Slash what at who?

Slash kill at sign E.

It's from Minecraft.

You put type equals and whatever you want to kill in the brackets, and it

all the entities of that type.

Like the one -hit obliterator. I don't think that's how the one -hit

works. You guys are nerds. You just referenced Zelda.

It's a good idea, but you should do it.

Timber. Me drawing is the start of this.

And maybe it's what will end it.

This is what will end it.

That's just a huge gun. With a bunch of smaller guns. Give me the marker. No.

Give me the marker. No.

Why are you like... Just give me the marker.

You are the worst person. That poor girl is never going to want to draw anything

ever again.

That's always kind of been her thing, right?

What? Drawing.

All kids like to draw. Yeah, but has she always been so... Dark?

I was going to say creative.

Creative, yes. Dark, no. You know, ever since.

Since what?

Okay, listen.

Do you know what we just experienced back there? Can you just help me focus

getting my kids, please?

You have a hard time saying her name.

Amber? Allie.

Okay, sure. I'm preserving my energy.

Do the kids ever say her name?

They call her Mom, Liz. Mm -hmm.

Do you ever talk about her?

No, I don't.

Would they if they wanted to?

Liz, come on!

You took all the pictures off the wall?

You kind of made the house look like she never existed. You think that might

have something to do with all this pent up emotion?

No, I don't actually. Come on, open up, dumbass.

Open up, dumbass? Is that what you just said?

Do you think that any of this stuff might be related? No, I don't. Of course

it's related.

Of course it is.

It's 500 % related and there's nothing I can do about it. Nothing.

The only thing I can focus on is getting past it. Getting past this, getting

past that. What the hell is that?

That's too far away to be a threat, right?

I know we're supposed to be scared of it, but it's kind of beautiful, don't

think?

Did I

do something to you?

A bunch of these you drew for me. Did I do something to you?

You got me in trouble with Mr. Thompson, you hide my pencil box every day. I

know what you're talking about. You sit behind me and pull my hair, then try to

tell me it was a bird. It was a bird. You convinced Mrs. Sanchez to name the

class hamster after me so you could announce the class every time Amber

Okay, that one's pretty good. You called me an orphan.

That was a compliment.

What? Everyone cool is an orphan.

Spider -Man, Batman, Superman, all the Avengers.

Not Hulk.

Have we ever seen Hulk's parents?

I don't want to pick something like this, Amber. It means they're secretly

love with you.

Really? Because I think it means they're a creep. Do you actually want bad

things to happen to me?

See those things kill me and cut me in half?

Like the one you drew on the bus?

I wasn't cutting you in half and stabbing you really hard in the stomach.

That's not better. Okay.

Done.

We put this in the pond, and all the monsters should be wiped out instantly.

It looks like a butt.

No, it doesn't. See?

Those little legs. And that's the butt. You're the butt.

I don't have to go to the bathroom anymore.

Amber?

Jack?

Jack?

I'll call the police here.

Amber!

Come on, let's just throw everything you want.

Amber, come on.

Just give me a second.

We don't really have a second.

Amber, come on.

Amber, we don't have time for this. Are you hurt or can you keep going?

Nathan.

I need you right now, Amber.

I can't do this alone.

Especially if you're riding me on everything.

Ow!

Mom's ashes in your backpack?

What was that?

You're taking her to the pond, right?

To finish what you tried to do last night?

To bring her back?

What do you think is going to happen, Jack?

Are you just going to bring Mom home and say, surprise?

Well, that's dark.

And then what?

You would feel better.

We all would.

Amber actually noticed before he did.

She drew.

Allie tattooed that butterfly in her notebook and she had to do it by memory.

There's no reference of it in the house.

I took him down the night after she died and put him in a suitcase because...

Oh, yeah. Sorry. I'm here. I'm here.

Okay?

Okay. Thank you.

They're sending two officers over. They'll be here in 15 minutes.

Amber asked me the other night if they were orphans.

Jeez. Yeah.

Right? That's what they're throwing at me.

Are they?

Yes. It's like FIFO movies every day out of nowhere. No, are they orphans?

What? What? No.

I'm right here. I'm alive.

I know you're alive.

What if they've got to be called something? What are they called? Why do

have to be called something?

Don't look it up. Don't look it up. Mom, Dad.

They're called maternal orphans. Okay, so they are called orphans. Yeah.

Sorry. And Amber abbreviated it to Morphin.

I mean, Jack and I were so surprised that she even had a sense of humor.

had no sense of humor lately.

And so Jack... Tried to recreate her, they took it too far.

She broke the special plate.

Do you want to hear my two cents on all this? No, I don't. Okay, I'm going to

tell you. I think you should stop worrying so much about the girl who's

pictures of her pain and worry a little bit more about the boys who are ignoring

theirs.

No, sir.

Thank you.

You chill out.

That thing isn't after you. It's after me.

I'm the one she drew with it cutting me in half.

Dabbing you really hard through the stomach.

Dabbing me really hard through the stomach.

She doesn't want you.

She wants everyone.

Anything that can die.

All she wants is death.

Is that why it's drawing more monsters?

It's drawing more -

Right? How many of those things do you think it's drawn?

Is that how you see yourself?

I'm thinking like a million, right?

That thing looks nothing like you.

You're not like that. You're smart. You're funny. You care about people.

You're not an evil person just because you drew some evil pictures.

And anyone who thinks that is stupid and deserves to be cut in half.

It's really hard to do stomach. Listen to me.

You also drew this.

That looks more like you.

Thanks for the sword, by the way.

It's the diamond sword.

What?

That's the diamond sword?

Mm -hmm.

When did you draw this? Isn't the diamond sword supposed to be blue? Who

She drew it green.

Then it's not the diamond sword.

It's the emerald sword. Like a while ago.

Stop saying that that's even you.

It's not.

It's... Just a thing he drew.

That's it.

And that's the Emerald Sword. Will you shut up about the sword, please? I will

not. I am very right about this.

We should get out of these woods.

Wait, what?

We're not done.

We're done.

I should have never tried to fix this in the first place. It's the whole reason

all of this happened. Do you know what I've been through today?

Yes. I almost died in a bus crash.

A blooming... monster tried to eat me you were there for all of us i fought

an army of shock monsters single -handedly i've come all this

way pee my pants twice

We've been indoors most of the day. Even if we did use the flamethrower, we

don't have a weapon anymore.

Use mine.

Watch the ring map.

For this exact situation.

And also, I want to frame it. It's not going to wipe them all out at once.

Then we draw a new one. We can't. Why not?

Because we don't have anything to draw with.

Yes, we do.

She was pulling sharpies and paper out of that backpack.

We could use those to draw a new butt and put it straight into the pond.

We really need to stop calling it a butt. We'll find a big butt.

There was never a butt. We just need to get her away from the pond.

I can do that.

This is a bad idea. You know how fast you can run. But I know how fast I can

run. How fast?

Lightning speed.

By the time she catches me, you have butt 2 .0 in the pond.

And you'll be dead to them.

What if it doesn't work?

Where do you eat?

Make sure it works.

How are you going to get it to shake you?

By doing what I do best.

Being huge people.

to be a whistle.

I never tried to do it that loud before.

I'm normally a very good whistler.

Get in the car.

Where are my kids?

Who are your kids? Amber and Jack!

movie tickets?

No! That's cool. No worries.

Where'd you find that?

It was, uh, still in the pocket.

No, before.

Where'd you find that before?

by chopping Evelyn's arm off. It was amazing.

Everybody, that was horrifying.

Jack, I think I know what you're about to do.

Before you do it, please hear me out.

I know you miss mom.

I miss her too. I miss her so much.

And I've done a terrible job of letting you guys see how much.

This whole time I thought we had to fix Amber.

But Amber was the only one doing what we're supposed to be doing.

Not running from the pain.

Not covering it up.

But feeling it.

I let you down, man.

I never gave it time to hurt.

And because you're you, because you're thoughtful, because you're

you felt the need to fix it.

That's not your responsibility, man.

All you needed...

Sorry. She's gone.

I'm sorry.

Stop watching. Stop being a whore.
