Well, I was...

I just wanted to see how it ends.

So, you're the brave one.

- I guess. - It's good.

It'll carry well down there.

A little help here, Francis.

Come on.

Not quite it, Francis.

Just not quite it.

Francis! Look what you did!

Bad turtles don't get smoothies.

Come on...

Stop!

It's not funny.

Stop it!

This is good, if I do say so myself.

Ow.

Ow.

Ow, ow, ow, ow.

The end is kind of sad.

Are you sure you wanna hear this?

Okay.

"Once upon a time,

there was a unicorn named Eleanor.

She wasn't like the other unicorns

because she had two horns.

There's the wizard,

he says he can help her,

but only if she finds

someone else like her.

So she wanders around

until she finds a knight

who's stuck in a tree.

He's lonely, too,

and his name is Francis.

And they go back to the wizard

so he can make her normal.

But then the wizard says

that she's better than normal,

she's special.

And now that she has another friend,

she's not lonely."

And that's it. The end.

But it doesn't make sense.

That's not even what she wanted.

See?

Told you it was sad.

I want Mommy and Daddy.

No peeking, okay?

Okay, Francis, I'm here.

Come find me!

Go away. Please, go away!

Go away.

It came back.

See that?

That's where it lives.

Out past the trees.

When the monster comes,

you have to stay calm.

You can't even think bad thoughts.

If it hears you, it gets super angry.

Don't worry, I won't let him get you.

You have to do what I say,

because I'm your mommy.

That means I'll always take care of you,

and never go away and leave you.

Come on, Francis, kick it back.

Don't be a loser.

Oh, Mr. Hopper!

I'll be right back.

Shoot!

Shit!

Shit-ass! Shit!

Shit-ass, shit-ass, shit-ass, shit!

Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!

Shit!

Shit-ass!

Shit!

Ass!

Shit-ass, shit,

shit, shit, shit.

Shit-ass, shit,

shit, shit, shit.

Shit-ass, shit,

shit, shit, shit.

Mr. Hopper...

I made you lunch.

Why don't you come back home?

We miss you.

Me and Francis.

Aw.

You just enjoy

the nice cup of tomato sauce.

No! Wait!

Wait, stop.

Come to Mommy.

Stop.

Stay.

Stay.

Now, come back.

Come here, Mr. Hopper.

Wait!

Don't go in there!

Please come back.

Don't leave me.

Ugh.

Ugh.

Sorry, I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have brought you a pumpkin.

It was stupid, it's just...

they get rotten so fast

and you never got to finish it.

So, don't be mad.

Okay?

Paul?

The monster's back.

Your fingers are cold.

Let me sleep here.

Those outside the hot-zones are required

to remain in their homes

while quarantine is in effect.

Airports are closed.

No unauthorized travel is allowed to...

Containment facilities are being

constructed around the country

and authorities are cautioning

that citizens should not approach

this new...

There you are, Francis.

The guests will arrive shortly.

Well, you look marvelous.

You're marvelous, Ma...

I must compliment you

on your taste of horn decorations.

Have you met Sir Francis?

He's a very famous explorer, you know.

And he's not even afraid of the dark.

At all.

If only we had Mr. Hopper.

Stay there.

Francis, did you do that?

Francis?

You were supposed to take care of me!

That's your job!

Dad says you're the big brother

and you take care of Stephanie.

It's your fault.

They left because of you!

They'd still be here if you hadn't died!

It's your fault!

Okay, you stay there.

You can do this.

Keep a lookout for anything weird.

I believe in you.

I'll only take a minute.

Did you hear that?

Shh...

Oh, my God.

Stephanie.

Daddy!

- Come here, baby. - Come here, baby.

I got you.

Yeah.

I got you. I got you, princess.

We're here.

Let me see your face.

Let me see you.

You okay?

Yeah?

Look at you.

You're okay.

My princess.

That's my girl.

I'm sorry.

I got ya.

Come on, baby.

Paul?

How are you gonna find your way home?

Stephanie.

Sweetheart! Stephanie!

- Steph! - Stephanie!

Stephanie!

Steph!

Stephanie! You are not to leave our sight, young lady!

Don't.

- She needs to listen. - I said, don't.

Stay calm.

Both of you.

Baby, it's really dangerous for you to be out there, okay?

Why did you take Paul away?

I want him to come home.

Hi, princess.

Hi, Daddy.

- I'm gonna make us breakfast. - Okay.

Did you sleep well?

Mm-hmm.

The lights are back on.

Yeah. Your, um,

your father messed with the breaker.

More?

Mm-hmm.

What's he building?

Oh, you know your dad.

He would rebuild the Panama Canal if he could.

Why did you leave me?

Stephanie, you have to understand

that your dad and me,

we never would have left you here alone if...

We thought that...

You thought that the monster got me, too.

Yeah.

It still comes sniffing around.

It's in the woods.

But if we get upset,

it comes into the house.

What do you do then, when it comes in the house?

We get totally quiet.

Me and Francis are aces at hiding from it.

Aces.

Mm-hmm.

Steph, you're one tough kid, you know that?

Not really.

Really, I'm pretty scared.

What do you think?

For the monster?

Yes.

Do you think it's strong enough to keep it out?

Well,

it's pretty good anyway.

Thanks.

I think so, too.

I like it when you build stuff.

Is that so?

Mm-hmm.

Can I ask you a question?

Sure.

What happened to Mr. Hopper?

Well, he...

Honey!

Can you come inside for a minute?

Yeah.

You stay here.

Clear.

Clear?

Crystal.

You stay here.

Clear?

Clear? Okay.

So what's Atlanta saying about the new protocols?

The CDC has no comment at this time.

You've seen the news.

The president... is weighing all options.

There are rumors online that they've had some success

at the containment facility in Mumbai.

Yeah, rumors but...

what's going on?

Jane, I've never seen you like this.

Are Paul and Stephanie okay?

It's cool. It's impossible not to worry

about all of our kids.

Look, can you talk me through the isolation protocol?

Three!

Two! One! Popcorn!

Done! Bam!

Eh-eh-eh! Eh-eh-eh.

Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot.

Ah, shit.

- Dad! - Oh! Sorry.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean that.

Fantastic.

Salt!

Good. Taste.

Good.

Give me some love.

You almost done with that fence?

Probably tomorrow.

Good.

Ah, so they tell me.

Steph, what's Francis doing?

Dancing.

Oh baby, turtles can't dance.

Don't listen to her, Francis.

Show her your special dance.

His special... Oh!

Oh!

That is not a special dance!

That is tickle!

Oh, Francis,

you're Fran-tastic.

I don't get it.

I do!

I don't get it.

- Francis is Fran-tastic. - Francis into fantastic.

But the word is fantastic.

Fantastic. It's not Fran-tastic.

It's Fran-tastic.

Be right back.

Okay.

Why, baby. Why?

It's okay, it's okay.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

I know. Take your time.

- Shh, shh, shh, shh. - I got you.

I got you.

Come on. Come on.

How did Paul come back?

Did the monster bring him?

Yes.

Why?

We don't really know why it does any of the things it does.

Maybe we should leave.

I think it would just come after us, princess.

After me?

Yes.

It wants me, right?

That's why it keeps coming back.

Yes.

You used to say there's no such thing as monsters.

I know.

I'm sorry.

I was wrong.

May I be excused?

Hey, princess.

Hey, Dad.

Can we talk?

Your mother's sorry for losing her temper.

- No big deal. - Mmm, no, it is a big deal.

All of us have to watch

what we do, how we feel.

You included.

Because that will make the monster come.

Mm-hmm.

We didn't mean to upset you.

And that's why we didn't wake you up

when we took Paul away.

And maybe that was wrong, I don't know.

Parents aren't perfect.

That's the sad truth.

Why did you leave me here?

We were afraid, how's that?

I was afraid.

Of what?

Don't lie.

I was afraid of myself, maybe?

That I wouldn't be strong enough

to take care of the things

that I need to take care of.

What do you need to do?

Well, that's the scary part,

I'm not quite sure.

Can I help?

Maybe, princess.

You're strong, Stephanie.

I'm talking about strength up here.

Strength on the inside.

Your mommy and me, we made you.

We made your eyes that color

and we made your hair straight and blonde.

That's what we did.

We made everything out here.

But up here, on the inside, that's all you.

All the way.

The good and the bad,

that's for you to control.

That's for you to change,

if you want to.

The fear and the anger and the doubt,

they're what call the monster.

And when you get those feelings, the bad feelings,

all you have to do is make them small.

That's how you beat it.

That's the number one rule.

Don't let the bad things get big,

everything will be fine.

You get it?

Mm-hmm.

Now, I'm betting locked up inside that head of yours,

you have enough strength to stop that monster cold.

Dunk.

You all right?

Mm-hmm.

I love you, Daddy.

She's lived longer than any of them, right?

Yeah.

Do you really believe

that she isn't gonna end up like the rest of them?

I talked to her, she can keep herself calm.

- She's a tough kid. - You talked to her.

Maybe it is,

I don't know, we don't know.

We have to protect her.

This procedure, I can do it,

- I can keep her safe. - You're not

that kind of doctor, it's too dangerous,

the procedure could kill her.

The best thing to do right now is we just wait.

That's all I'm asking you to do is wait.

- Wait for what? - What if she can't?

You've seen what those things can do.

Yeah. I've seen it, in my house.

Mom?

Dad?

Mom?

Dad?

Daddy?

Daddy!

Hi, princess.

Mom?

Dad?

No!

Steph!

All right, take it easy, she's fine, she's fine.

Look at me, you got to stay calm. Okay?

The monster killed you.

Nobody killed me.

Listen to me, baby, you got to stay calm.

No, Daddy, the basement.

Run!

- Daddy! Dad! - Shh! Shh, shh...

Daddy!

All right, it's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

Shh! We have to be quiet.

The monster might hear us.

We did it.

Come on, it's clear.

Mom!

Ow. Ow.

Francis.

Stephanie! Wait!

Stephanie!

The monster!

The monster! The monster!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, it's you.

It's you.

The monster is you.

Baby, how'd you sleep?

I had a weird dream.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Your mom will be back

in a little while, she had a meeting at the hospital.

Sure.

Hey, Paul.

Hey, Steph.

I don't wanna remember.

I don't want to remember.

It's okay.

You're all right.

I'm sorry.

You don't have to apologize.

But what are you sorry for?

I won't run away again.

You're sick.

You have something inside you.

It's making you see things.

It's making you do things.

Part of what it's making you do is hurting your memory.

We think if you can remember,

it'll help you fight it.

Your mother and I have been talking

and there's something

we'd like to try with you.

Like an experiment.

More like a game.

Mm-hmm.

I need you to close your eyes.

Go on.

I want you to listen to these clicks.

Let your body relax.

Good. Let your mind wander.

That's it.

Let it go.

Tell me what happened the day Paul died.

Tell me what happened that morning.

We're carving pumpkins.

That's right.

That's, that's good, princess.

He's being mean.

Teasing me.

I think he was just playing with you.

What happened next?

Cut it out!

- I got mad. - Sure, you did.

Of course, you did.

And that's okay.

What happened after you got mad?

I went for him.

How?

With my arms.

All of them.

What happened after that?

I hit Mommy.

Okay, stop. Stop.

- Just stop. - You ran!

You left me.

Okay, Eric, stop it, now!

What happened next?

Stephanie!

Stephanie!

Yes. I'm Stephanie.

I am Stephanie.

You happy?

You think she can control that?

- We do it your way. - Thank you.

That's still our little girl in there.

Stephanie?

Princess?

What's next?

If you take the razor,

and just...

just shave this section right here.

Yeah.

You okay?

Yeah.

Jesus Christ.

Actually, it's relatively simple.

As soon as we get through the bone,

we feed the endoscope through.

There's a natural pathway for it to follow.

If this doesn't work?

It's going to work.

Tragedy unfolding in Mumbai.

We are now expecting confirmation

from the White House.

There has been an incident in the lab,

where the rumored surgical trials

are being conducted.

The death toll is unconfirmed,

but there were at least 200 physicians

and researchers gathered

by the coalition of nations,

at the facility.

With all the therapeutic containment efforts failing,

this surgery was viewed, by many researchers,

as our last best hope to finding a cure,

a hope that is now fading.

The nation and the world

are reckoning with what some fringe elements

of the scientific community

have been saying since the initial outbreak

in April,

that euthanasia may be

the only cure.

"Once upon a time,

in a place just beyond our sight,

there lived a magical kingdom called Anywhere.

In Anywhere, anything was possible."

Hey, Steph.

Do you wanna come for a walk in the orchard with me?

Come on.

Okay.

I made you some hot chocolate.

We haven't been out to the orchard in a while.

Mm-hmm.

Do you think we can make some orange juice?

For all three of us?

I don't see why not.

Okay.

I did that.

- No, baby. - Yes, I did.

But you don't remember doing it.

Well, then it wasn't you.

What's wrong with me?

Imagine you're a door,

and there's something

that's trying to come through.

What is it?

We don't know.

Something we don't understand.

Something,

from another place.

I don't even think it has a body.

That's why it uses yours.

It changes you.

And you're not alone, there's kids like you

all over the world.

Can they stop it?

There's one more thing we're gonna try.

I'm sorry.

No, stop apologizing...

- But I'm sorry. - Don't be!

Don't be sorry.

You didn't do anything wrong.

Not one day in your life.

Do you understand me?

I think it's getting cold.

It's getting cold.

We should drink up.

Wait.

Don't forget cheers, Dad.

Cheers.

Dad, wait. I, I can stop it.

Dad. No, don't.

See? I can stay calm.

I love you, Daddy.

You are my baby girl.

You're my princess.

I love you so much.

Stephanie...

Steph

You should've killed me when you had the chance.

Ah.

Oh, what did I do?

Oh, it's over, I loved her. Oh.

My God.

- Upstairs. - No, no!

- Go! Go upstairs. - No, no!

- Go! - No!

Princess... oh.

Stop! St... Stop!

You tried to kill me.

You're not my daughter.

What the hell are you?

Big.

Stay there. Clear?

Good.

No! I'm so... I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.

We should have never left you.

You shouldn't have come back.
