Don't touch the floor.

I can't get you if you don't touch the floor.

There's nothing under your bed.

Nothing but dust bunnies. I know.

I'll eat you.

Go to sleep, Aurora.

Yeah? Get up here.

What are you doing out there?

Everything you're afraid will happen.

Put it all in my pocket.

You're too old to suck your knuckle. You're gonna get buck teeth.

Thank you.

Is that enough money?

For what?

To procure your services.

I haven't counted it.

How do you know the word procure?

For the day calendar.

What's your name?

Or is A your name?

I don't know.

What's your name?

I've got $327 .42 here.

Why do you get all this money?

I'm not the church.

Is that enough to kill a monster?

What makes you think I killed monsters?

I thought I killed one.

What did you see?

In Tri -Pow.

Behind the dance floor restaurant.

I saw a dragon.

And you killed it.

You saw me kill a dragon?

How did I kill it? I don't know.

He just flew down your belly, got it like a fish, and then you cut off his

Is that some imagination?

I got two eyes.

Life is unreal.

Yes, they are.

Don't pretend.

Grown -ups don't pretend.

Grown -ups pretend not to be afraid.

But they are.

All the time.

What do your parents think about monsters?

Do they dream of them?

They do now.

Now they do.

They didn't before, but now they do.

It's hard not to believe in something that, eating you, ate you.

That monster ate your parents?

Yup.

Like, the one you think you saw me slide under its belly and got like a fish?

Yeah.

And this monster lives under your bed?

Yes.

Did you see it eat your parents?

I was under my blanket.

You just heard them getting in.

I just heard them getting got.

That's my mom and dad's room.

I think they tried to hide in there.

There's no blood.

Generally, when something's eaten, there's blood.

It ain't no hole.

Did your mom and dad have a gun?

Somebody had a gun.

He had a gun go off?

I told you so.

So it looks like it made some noise. Your parents didn't call for help?

You have neighbors.

No one heard this.

It eats everything.

It even eats your scream.

Why didn't you go to the police?

Why aren't you going to the police now?

I don't know what I'm telling them.

I could tell him there's a little girl who's been abandoned by her parents.

You could tell him that.

After you kill him.

I'm trying to understand this the way you understand this, little girl.

The monster you think you saw me kill.

I know I saw you kill it.

You're a monster. It's like that.

That's why I hired you.

I haven't agreed to be hired.

I don't know where you saw me on that Tencent restaurant, but I didn't kill

monsters.

Or I didn't kill anything.

That's really why I won't go to the tree.

Killing things is against the law.

If you've killed a lot of things, you feel like you've killed a lot of things.

In my experience, the sort of monster that can eat a person whole and not

a drop is not built so randomly.

Are you done pretending now?

I'm seeing things how you see things.

Why would a monster eat your family?

They touched the floor.

If your monster is like mine, it doesn't eat people for walking on the floor.

Why did your mom throw one at you?

Because I kill monsters.

Go on then, go.

There's something under my bed that wants to eat me.

And don't touch the floor.

think i'd see you again i'd hug you but as you know i really don't put effort

into such things

you ordered a

sandwich i did you want half

I'm trying to unclench my jaw.

It's in a perpetual state of clench, so I have to release it

so it doesn't pop out of my skull when I take a bite of food.

I got these from the young.

Should they be?

They're my neighbors.

Professionally disappeared.

You've actually met your neighbors?

I'm aware of them.

Thought it was over and it hadn't.

She seen?

She heard.

Thought it was a monster under her bed.

You're looking for a monster.

The monster's looking for me.

And I think that monster got the wrong apartment.

The monster's lucky it got the wrong apartment.

The monster broke in and realized their mistake.

They had to kill the barons and see them.

The girl didn't see anything. They let her live.

I'll take a look at these.

How do you know the little girl didn't see anything?

She told me she didn't see anything.

She saw you.

There's a little girl who knows your face.

Does she know what you do?

She doesn't know anything.

She saw monsters.

She believed in monsters.

You're a monster.

Does she believe in you?

I'm not going to kill a little girl.

Because you already killed her parents.

You did not kill that girl's parents.

I almost certainly found a place to argue with that.

Cheetah kills baboon, discovers its baby, still clean though, it's a dead

What does the cheetah do?

It doesn't eat the baby.

Even the cheetah knows it's an asshole, thinks awful of the child.

Yeah, I saw that in that video.

Maybe he died anyway.

Cheetah Rudolph.

The monster's coming. Get under your bed.

There's a monster under my bed.

Get in the closet, then.

Was there someone in here?

They get out before I escape.

She got caught.

Your monster.

I'm touching the floor. Where's your monster now?

Why is it not here?

There was someone in your room, and they got away. They will be back.

They didn't get away.

Stay there.

What are you doing?

I'm draining his fluid so when I cut him into pieces it won't be messy.

Why'd you have to cut him into pieces?

I have to get rid of the body.

Why don't you just put it in my room?

Let the monster eat him.

Have you ever been to a butcher?

Yes.

What I need to do is like what they do with pigs and cows at a butcher, but

a person.

Only we're trying to get him in a suitcase, not our stomachs. I love pigs.

A cow, then.

Is there anything you're comfortable with being done to a cow? It used to be

when we'd do it to this guy.

Can I watch?

Sure.

people anymore.

You can help me rip up the pieces.

Anymore.

You're a lesbian.

I'd kill it.

Did he come to kill the monster?

You have to stop talking about monsters.

The monster didn't need your parents.

Your parents were killed.

Did someone cut them into pieces?

He came to kill me.

Or you.

He came to kill one of us.

Me for my reasons.

You for my mistake.

Why would he want to kill me?

There was no monster in Chinatown.

Those were men.

A monster didn't kill your parents. Those were men who wanted to kill me

of monsters. I've killed monsters who were men.

You don't have to feel bad because a monster ate my parents. Stop saying

Just because you don't want it to be that way doesn't mean it's not going to

that way. Because that's the way it is. A monster ate my parents.

A monster will always eat my parents.

Unless you kill it.

I'd love to believe there was a monster under your bed, little girl.

Happiest I've ever been was believing something impossible.

You're going to be very happy.

I'm Brenda Bautista with Child and Family Services.

Are you Aurora?

Yes.

Hello, Aurora.

Hi.

We had an appointment.

We did?

If you'd like, I can give you a few minutes to get yourself together.

This isn't coming together anytime soon.

We'll have to reschedule.

It's challenging being a parent.

Particularly being a foster parent.

Particularly being a foster parent.

We're the first family to come into her life since what happened.

Trust isn't easy in the best of circumstances.

Third family.

You're a third?

foster family they did go over that with you right you do know that yes of

course of course i'm i'm speaking in that we're the first families come into

your life since the last family did so and i've always been i'm

sorry i'm under the weather we are all under the weather here you shouldn't

any closer or inside i was hoping i could use your restroom

I should tell you, and I hate to tell you this, because I know how it sounds,

but if you fail to keep your appointment, it does go on your

Brenda, you know how that sounds.

And you still said it anyway. I know.

It's not a threat.

I know.

Let's reschedule. Sorry for any inconvenience. Bye -bye.

You should wash your hands.

So, this is your third family.

How many of your families assist Martha Eden?

All of them.

All of them?

And no one believes you?

No.

Maybe we approach this scientifically.

Children are scientists.

You don't play.

You experiment.

Gather data.

Analyze what you're ahead for. So full of shit and Santa Claus you don't know

what's real.

I know what's real. No.

You think you know.

You think you know.

Where did the monster come from?

I wished for it.

I wished on a shooting star.

Like I wished for you to kill it.

Wishing isn't scientifically sound, evidence -based thinking, Hugo.

Why did you wish for it?

I wanted it to eat my parents.

Why did you want a monster to eat your parents?

They weren't very nice to me.

You're mad at mom and dad. You wished they'd go away, so you wished a wish you

wished you hadn't wished.

All your parents weren't very nice?

Some of them were nice.

Then why did the monster eat them?

He's trying to eat me.

What have you done?

Have you seen something you shouldn't have seen?

What makes you so tasty, Aurora?

Aurora.

Aurora.

Aurora.

Aurora. Aurora.

Yes.

I'm wicked.

Who said you were wicked?

It knows I'm wicked.

It keeps eating my family because I don't deserve a family.

I've met wicked.

Trust me, you're not wicked.

Where's your monster now?

It sleeps during the day.

Under your bed?

Under the floor, under my bed.

It mostly comes out at night and tries to eat me.

It will stop until it does eat me.

Please kill it before it can do that.

Did you try wasting it away?

It didn't work, obviously.

Say I do kill your monitor, then what?

Where do you go?

There are places where children in your position usually go.

If they catch me.

You don't have any other family?

No.

Do you?

No one would miss you if you were gone.

No. They were all eaten.

Anybody would miss you if you were gone?

I'd miss you if you were gone.

What's in the suitcase?

Who's in the suitcase?

Is it the little one?

That's the big one.

This is the little one.

He killed her.

You killed him.

Return to sender.

I sent two.

I only told him when you sent to kill me.

I have things to show him. You want some?

Yes, please.

I didn't send anybody to kill you.

Now, I'm asking you to be honest.

Who was trying to kill whom?

And is there an argument to be made for self -defense?

Because nobody was supposed to kill you.

I may have thrown the first one at you.

Well, I really was just trying to help.

I saw the gesture as a professional courtesy.

I thought I was being magnanimous.

Sending someone to kill a little girl. Sending someone to kill a witness who

knows your faith and knows what you do.

If you want to judge me on the ease with which I can kill a child, have at it. I

am eating a suckling pig tea sandwich.

I wasn't happy gaining that little luck.

You seem triggered.

That little girl clearly triggered you. The cheetahs and the baboons at least

this way. The deed would be done.

And if it's Depress or Wallow, however you chose, it would be one less thing

me to worry about.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Genuinely, this time, that first one was mostly sarcasm.

What happened to the second package I sent?

Did you kill her too?

What am I going to tell these people's families?

I never saw the second package.

Monster under the bed, get her.

Yeah, well, yeah.

No one has heard of the parents.

No one knows anything about them beyond the most tedious of details.

Wasn't even their daughter.

Fostering to adopt.

What happened to her birth pass?

They abandoned her.

Packed up, left her behind.

Do you see a pattern?

I see a pattern.

I think we know who the real monster was.

They killed Elizabeth.

No one followed you home.

No one knows where you live, although I would move anyway.

And I found out who's trying to kill you.

Everybody.

Everybody's trying to kill you. It's remarkable.

And in your line of work, inevitable, though.

Congratulations.

And condolences.

Is that the baby bathroom?

Who's in the little suitcase?

We couldn't get them all in in one bag.

We?

I told you to wait for me at home.

You weren't coming home.

You were going to leave me.

That does seem to happen to her a lot.

Aurora, come over here.

Sit next to me.

I don't know you.

You were going to leave me.

I never told you I could leave.

I hired you. You took my money.

Aurora. Do you know that there are cultures who won't even acknowledge

your age is a person?

Delayed personhood, they call it. You're just a little body with a soul slowly

growing inside of it, eventually becoming a person, but not a person yet.

So you should let the real person talk.

I am. Nope. Shut your mouth.

you want a sandwich she doesn't need pork you you were obviously

going through something here i can see that some childhood trauma stop

that this little girl is not little you and helping her home won't fix

you i know they say that you can't truly work through childhood trauma without

having a child of your own implying childless people are broken a point of

i don't subscribe there is no stopping this train it's going all the way to the

station hire the kids to do what

to kill the monster and die better

the monster that ate her foster parents and her birth parents

And, well, all the parents.

The lady with the gun crawled to my bedroom window.

I never saw her. I saw her.

I saw her get beaten.

I don't know what to do with this.

You see?

Who killed the lady with the gun who crawled to your bedroom window?

The one who crawled to my bed.

You're not the only one with a monster under her bed, Aurora.

Everybody, the everybody that's trying to kill you, they're never going to stop

trying to kill you until they've killed you or you've been killed.

You can never sleep in the same bed twice.

I can sleep in my bed.

I'll come on straight on.

Leave now.

Get out of town.

Don't go home. Don't get dim sum.

Just get out.

Get out of orbit.

Hello, welcome back to usual.

Yes, please.

That lady said you got problems.

I have two problems.

So me and Leah.

You're one of them.

You could just be my dad.

You'll be a good dad. I don't want to be one of your dads, Aurora.

All your dads died.

Aurora.

I remember thinking my mother was the most beautiful woman in the world.

And one day I took a good look and realized, she's not.

Really.

but my brain wanted me to think so isn't that something

so whatever you think you want or need from me

isn't really what you think it's what your brain wants you to think and

i think i want the need from you just what your brain wants you to think

we don't really know each other

i wished for you yes you did that but you didn't actually control any of that

happening yes i did no no you didn't yes i did no you didn't i did i

did you didn't know

Parenting. Then don't.

Shrimp shumai, mushroom dumpling, black sesame drive -in cookie.

First dumpling, soup dumpling, rabbit shit dumpling with shrimp.

I assume you know why.

I assume I'm why you're here. You are.

She is not.

You can just ignore her.

Maybe we could talk outside.

We just got our food.

We'll discuss what we need to discuss.

How we need to discuss it.

Can we get to the cobalt container?

Hi, Aurora.

Can I come in?

I got some windmill.

Thanks for coming back so soon.

I apologize for this morning.

I hope it all makes sense once I explain.

You weren't under the weather.

Don't touch it before.

Is it lava?

No, it's not lava. A monster will eat you if you touch it before.

Oh.

I'll consider myself warned.

You'd be the first.

Aurora. Aurora.

Aurora. Aurora. Exactly what I said.

Probably shouldn't indulge her. She thinks a monster can eat her entire

A monster did eat my entire family.

Go talk yourself in.

Just like I showed you.

I have so many thoughts.

Just grab one thought out of the air.

Grab it as it passes over your head and say it out loud.

Grab it and say it.

We're all going to die.

That's a big thought.

I don't believe that little girl's family abandoned her.

Not her first family.

Not her second. Certainly not those last people.

I don't think they all just left. I think they're all dead.

Two families? Three.

I'm not this girl's father. I live across the hall.

5B. Why did you lie?

Well, I didn't lie to that little girl.

She's very good at lying.

I just met her. She told me a monster ate her parents and then you rang the

bell.

I believe she believes there is a monster. I don't think she's lying about

She's just delusional.

There is something doing something.

And you need to do something about that.

If there's someone you can call, you should tell them that circumstances are

desperate and immediate. You should tell them that presently, like now, because

we are in danger right now. You, me, and that sweet little girl.

Why do you think we're in danger?

Why did you turn off the light?

They followed her home.

They're watching the building.

At first, the parents are missing.

It all stinks like fish.

Hey, it's Bautista.

Anything going on out there?

Yeah, something's going on out here.

You should get up here.

Copy that. I think she saw her parents getting got. I know it has a scene.

And those, those are the monsters.

She could probably explain this better in her own words because it happened to

her. And it's got nothing to do with me.

And I'm guessing.

Meanwhile, also completely unrelated to me.

You gonna get that?

I'm debating.

You want me to get it? No.

Look at it.

Get off the floor. Get back or I'll make you a special blanket.

Why are you here?

Why are you here?

There are at least a half dozen people downstairs.

whose purpose this evening is to turn you into a carcass. And you led

them here, like the Pied Piper.

Did you have a flute?

Not a literal flute.

This is an ambush.

I'm doing the ambushing.

I'm the bushwhacker.

And what they're doing is less ambushing and more of a siege.

Yeah, that pit ain't gonna survive a siege.

She's fine.

I've got the FBI inside, and they're calling in reinforcements.

I'm just the concerned neighbor.

5B is perfect.

Oh, my

God.

I put a lot of thought into this. Really? A lot of thought?

How are you quantifying a lot of thought? By number or quality? Because

heard very few thoughts, and none of them good.

on the verge if not over the verge of convincing them that disappeared

I've done my part.

fellow concerned neighbor.

I'm not with Child and Family Services.

I'm with the FBI.

We've been investigating the disappearance of Aurora's family and

What is happening in this poor girl's life that the FBI is investigating?

How strange.

How we got there, no one knows.

Maybe our march was pitted out.

It isn't determined.

Sam, don't touch the floor.

Don't touch the floor. It'll eat you.

Get off the floor.

Get off the floor. Get off the floor. Get off the floor. Get off the floor.

You really believe in it?

Yeah.

I can see that.

Get under your special covers.

Don't come out again until I tell you so.

Is that you?

Hmm.

How many outside?

I counted two.

How many inside?

I counted two.

What?

Don't do me.

That's the monster that lives under our rules bed.

Down on the floor now!

Drop your weapon!

Down on the floor now!

Down on the floor!

No, I can't do that. No, it's not going to happen. Down on the floor!

There is something in the floor!

I'm concerned, neighbor. Are you?

You gotta go.

I gotta go.

I'd like to sincerely apologize for my tone earlier. It wasn't professional.

Please, can we leave? Time to go. We gotta go. Let's go. Take me off the

Where are we going to the car?

When we get to the car, you ought to turn. I can get them out of here.

There's something in the floor. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

There's something in the forest.

Go away.

Something in the forest.

everybody? Not everybody.

Just everybody else.

No, stay. Stay away.

You creepy now?

Yes.

Are you the happiest you've ever been?

that is not the word i'll use

we're

going to the window down the fire escape

I told you so.

Hello Aurora.

Don't come in here.

I've come to rescue Aurora.

Aurora you can't stay here.

It's not safe.

Come with me.

I'll take care of you.

to do when you have to get up.

But you do have to get off the floor.

Aurora, easier for you than it is for him.

Mom, get off the floor.

Don't call me that.

It's hurtful.

OOF!

I hate you, Aurora.

It's your monster.

My monster.

You wish for it.

You have to live with it.

I wish for you, too.

I don't even know your name.

You'll think something to call me.

I'm not just calling you. Please go.
