Okay. Action.

Toto, look at me.

Don't eat grass, Toto.

Stop eating grass.

This is where we live now. It's ugly.

What are you filming, Johanna?

Just the light. It's pretty.

Come on, Toto, let's run.

Let's run. Run, Toto!

Run.

Scheinert wants us to schedule another appointment

- with the radiologist. - Fantastic.

I've been meaning to spend more time with that guy.

Uh-huh.

He says you're supposed to be resting.

I am resting.

NAOMI Take it seriously.

You okay?

When's the rest of our stuff getting here?

I don't know. The movers will be here soon.

Let's read while we wait.

"And the house shook so hard

"that she lost her footing

"and sat down suddenly upon the floor.

"Then a strange thing happened.

The house wh-whirled."

It whirled. You got it.

"...whirled around two or three times

"and rose slowly through the air.

"Dorothy felt as if she were going up in a balloon.

"But the great pressure of the wind

"on every side of the house raised it up

"higher and higher, until it was at

"the very top of the cyclone;

"and there it remained and was carried miles and miles away

as easily as you could carry a feather."

Mom?

Mom?

I-I'm sorry.

What do you need?

I-I can't find the birdhouse.

Well, your grandfather is coming over later.

Maybe he can help you look.

He's gonna want a tour anyway.

- Why? - 'Cause that's your grandfather.

I guarantee you he's gonna want a tour.

Hello?

Dad?

What are you doing here?

I was just driving by, and I thought

- I'd check on the movers. - You're so early.

Yeah, well, I just wanted to see how you were settling in.

And I heard Chopin.

Well, it's-- you know, it's good to see you.

Well, yeah.

Yeah.

Hey.

Come say hello.

Don't be shy.

You probably don't remember me, Johanna,

but I remember you.

I'm your pop-pop.

You know, I've never had a real tour of this place.

Do you think you could show me around?

Where is it? Where is it?

What are you looking for?

The birdhouse. It's like this, and blue with stars.

Who's the bird?

There isn't one.

But if you hang it up and make the right call,

you can catch a spirit.

And it's good luck.

Oh, I see.

Why haven't I met you before?

You have. You were just very small.

Why not since then?

Your mother and I had a disagreement a long time ago.

When she stopped performing,

I wasn't as supportive as I should have been.

You know, I was there the day you were born.

You were so red.

You looked like a lobster with hair.

Like a lobster?

Big, red claws.

Come on. I want to show you something.

Look out here.

You should just be able to...

Yeah. You see beyond those trees?

That's where I work.

- Do you know what a rabbi is? - Mm-hmm.

Well, that's what I am.

You should come visit me sometime.

Has it been hard moving?

- No. - No?

My mom says there are better doctors here, so...

But what do you feel about it?

Well...

I just, I need to find the birdhouse.

It's not your fault that your father's sick.

I-I know. Why-- I was just...

I know, I know things haven't been easy.

But I want you to know,

no matter what happens with your father,

I will always be here for you.

You know, Terry called earlier.

He said Leon Silver is retiring.

The Tennessee Williams guy?

Yeah.

Don't scratch the table.

- I wasn't. - So his seminar will be

up for grabs pretty soon.

I could be, I could be the Tennessee Williams guy.

Who's Tennessee Williams?

He's a famous comedian

who wrote some of the funniest things you'll ever hear.

They actually named a state after him.

That's not true.

Anyway, so,

yeah, I could, I could be up for his chair next semester.

I said don't scratch the table.

I'm not.

Oh, we need a lawn guy.

- That lawn's a mess. - Well, there's a mower.

- I'm doing the lawn. - No, you're not doing the lawn.

Yeah, there's a mower in the garage,

and it's just sitting there,

and I'm doing absolutely nothing.

- You're not doing the lawn. - No, no, I'm doing noth--

I...

Could the birdhouse not have gotten packed?

Mom?

Hey, hey, listen.

When you're outside with Toto,

make sure he has a leash on, okay?

I don't want him running on the street. All right?

"I took the blows to my body, my arms, my legs.

"All those deaths. And where were you?

You were up there with your Polish bastard."

What were we talking about?

The birdhouse.

You know, I-I think I saw it in the breezeway.

She would have forgotten about it.

Oh, come on.

She thinks it helps keep me safe.

I didn't want to get into this stuff again.

Found it!

Can we keep it outside for tonight?

Yeah.

That's fine. Yeah.

There we go.

Spirits have their house back.

There's nothing here yet.

You have to make a call.

And they'll hear that?

Well, go on.

NAOMI Hope things will be better.

And things will be better here.

I promise, okay?

We're fine. Everything's fine.

They have better doctors here. That's why we came.

What is it?

On the plane here, I had a dream.

I was looking for Daddy, but I couldn't find him.

And then I saw you.

And you had a hammer.

And you attacked me.

Well, that's the last time we fly United.

Hey.

Listen, we're fine.

Everything's fine, okay?

I know it's hard moving, but we're together,

and that's all that matters.

Okay. Um, now, what are we reading?

Goodnight Moon.

Uh...

That again?

Just for tonight.

Okay.

"In the great green room,

there was a telephone and a red balloon."

What do we say?

"Good night, moon."

"Good night, moon.

"Good night, cow jumping over the moon.

"Good night, light and the red balloon.

"Good night, bears. Good night, chairs.

"Good night, clocks. And good night, socks.

"Good night, mittens.

"Good night, little house.

"And good night, mouse.

"Good night, stars.

"And good night, air.

Good night, noises everywhere."

See you Thursday, okay? Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Please, guys, be careful!

NAOMI It's just too much.

I can't deal with this.

Come on. Please. Please.

Who are you?

Did you hear something?

Wh-What?

Wait. I know you.

You're the people who moved into the big house.

Why are you here?

We had to come for my dad.

What school are you going to?

Homeschooled. Yeah.

My cousin's homeschooled.

He's got something wrong with his brain.

He can't do normal stuff.

Sorry.

It's cool. He-he gets to be home all day

and play StarCraft.

Do you play StarCraft?

You like trampolines?

Yeah, my dad's actually a chef. It's pretty cool.

You know, he-he works in, like, a fancy hotel,

so he gets to meet a lot of cool people.

One time, he told me he met, uh, William Shatner.

- William Shatner? - Who's that?

You don't know who William Shatner is?

He's, like, this really cool actor.

He's one of my favorites.

- Hmm. - But anyway, yeah,

apparently, William Shatner was actually kind of weird.

That's what my dad said.

And all he wanted was eggs, so my dad gave him that.

It was really cool, though.

He's got a picture with him and everything.

Why can't you leave that thing alone?

The-the stars were-were flaking.

And...

What are you talking about? Looks totally fine.

There.

Hey, I have to run by the pharmacy

and pick up your dad's new meds.

You should get outside while it's still sunny.

It's beautiful out.

Dad.

Dad?

Want to go outside?

Sorry, not a... not a good time.

Go. Please go.

Close the door. Close the door.

You shouldn't be here.

Close... close the door. Close the door.

You're so good.

Yeah.

Yes.

Toto!

Toto?

Toto?

It'll be easier if you tell me the truth, Johanna.

I am. He was right here.

He went behind this tree.

Oh, come on.

You didn't see which way he ran?

He didn't run away. He disappeared.

Okay, we'll call animal control.

It's too late to do anything else.

Toto!

Okay.

Come on. It's all right.

Come on.

That's it.

It's okay.

Johanna.

Daddy?

Wh-Where are you?

I'm in the birdhouse.

What?

I'm dead.

It got me.

Toto's in here, too.

Can you hear him?

It's going to get you, too, Johanna.

It's saving space for you.

Right by my side.

Hey, come on. Let's keep reading.

Come on.

I want to look for Toto right now.

We did that already.

No, I want to look more.

The shelter said the best thing to do at this point

is to wait for someone to call.

What if he's hurt?

What if something really bad is happening

and we have to stop him from getting hurt?

The best thing to do at this point is to wait...

I don't want to wait. You're not listening to me.

I have a bad feeling. I have a really bad feeling.

Well, maybe you should have thought of that

and kept him on a leash like I told you to.

I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry.

Look, I, um...

I-I want to look more, too, but this

isn't the only thing going on right now, all right?

Your dad's waiting for me at the hospital,

and I have to pick him up and bring him back, okay?

I don't want him back.

You don't mean that.

- I do. - You don't.

I do.

All you ever do is take care of him.

That's all you ever do.

We had to leave our home

- and come here because of him. - It's okay. It's okay.

And now Toto's gone, and we can't do anything

- because of him! - Sit down. Sit down.

- I don't want him back. - Please sit down! Sit down.

- Let me go! Let me go! - Just sit down! Sit down!

I don't want him back! I want it to be over!

I just want it to be over!

Toto!

Toto!

Hello?

Mom?

It's not real, it's not real, it's not real, it's not real,

it's not real, it's not real, it's not real,

it's not real, it's not real.

HARRY Johanna.

Hi, Johanna.

Dad?

She went somewhere. She...

What?

I'm making dinner.

Gonna make some dinner.

Something to eat.

- Mom! - Johanna?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.

I don't want him to go away.

Okay. It's okay.

No, no.

Hey.

Honey, stay here.

- I have to get... - Where are you going?

Mommy, come back!

Mom! Mommy!

Come back!

She's gonna kill you.

Huh?

Your mother's gonna kill you, and I'm gonna watch.

Get off of him!

Shh. It's okay. Shh.

Your dad's in bed now.

What is it?

I-I think...

I think there's something inside.

What did you say to him?

Wh-What?

When I came back downstairs,

you were leaning over him, and you were whispering.

- No. - Yes, you were.

- No. - Oh, you were.

He grabbed me.

Grabbed me.

- No, he didn't. - He...

No.

- He grabbed me. - No, he did not.

Yes, he did.

You... you left.

You would have no way of knowing what happened.

Your dad had a seizure tonight.

That's what happened.

No. He said you were going to hurt me.

What did you say?

He said you were gonna hurt me.

Okay.

Okay, okay, okay.

- Right. - Uh, what are you doing?

You're too old for this.

Go to sleep.

- Five minutes, okay? - Yeah.

Hey.

Oh, sit down.

Where are you going?

I won a prize.

All-inclusive trip to the hospital.

I'm a... I'm a winner.

Are you gonna be all right?

What do you think?

I think you're gonna be okay.

We have to go.

Johanna.

Johanna.

Johanna.

I'm here.

Do you want to know a secret?

The sicker he gets...

...the more they'll hurt you.

Until...

you take my hand.

Whoa. Hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, hey. It's all right.

Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Shh.

There was something...

...in there.

Our first night here,

I made a call for a good spirit, but...

...something else came.

It's doing something to my mom and dad.

It's turning them against me.

You know about Jacob? The story of Jacob?

Jacob was a man a long, long time ago.

And he was in a desert trying to find his way home.

And one night in the dark, he met a stranger.

Somehow they started fighting.

Now, this stranger was horribly strong.

And Jacob, he was terrified, but he kept on struggling.

And just as the sun came up,

he pinned the stranger to the ground.

And he looked down to see it wasn't a stranger at all.

It-it was this massive hit.

Mm, gl-global.

- Really? - Yeah.

It-it started like, uh, um,

uh, like "Dominique," I think.

♪ Dom-Dominique... ♪

♪ Uh, to the something I don't know ♪

♪ Il ne parle que du Bon Dieu ♪

♪ Il ne parle que du Bon Dieu. ♪

Yeah.

I can't believe you remember that.

Yeah, well, you got to...

you've got to always keep room for the important things.

Really?

Right.

Never actually got a-a penny.

Thank you.

Oh, you know, um, Roman sent me a note today.

- Really? - Yeah.

And?

It's, uh...

It a-appeared to be nice, almost.

Johanna.

Come downstairs. I'm making lunch.

So...

you want to tell me what you were doing

up there with a rock?

My dad said you were up there and you freaked yourself out.

Do you remember when your daddy first got sick

and you were afraid all the time?

When you're upset, you feel like you're being attacked,

but that's not what's happening.

- I... - What is it?

I don't want the birdhouse anymore.

I want to get rid of it.

Really?

Uh, yes, yes.

Yes. Great.

Um...

Yeah, no, we can, we can, uh, we can box it up tomorrow

and we can take it to Goodwill.

You know, we have to go anyway.

There is just so much crap to give away.

- Really? - Yes. Yes, really.

Hey, look at me. Look at me.

Hey. Look, I know...

I know how hard this has been for you, okay?

I know, with your dad.

And it's not fair.

And I'm sorry.

I love you.

I love you.

You're a good girl.

You are.

Now, eat up.

Sandwich okay?

Johanna?

Do it again from, "What then is the good of you

going to Egypt to drink the waters?"

Can I help you?

Hey!

Tell me what happened.

Johanna.

Your parents...

They want to hurt me.

What?

They want to hurt me.

That can't be true.

Your parents care about you more than anything.

No, they don't! No, they don't!

Wh-Whoa.

Daddy said she was gonna kill me.

That's what he said.

She put glass in the sandwich.

And I ate it. I ate it.

Why don't we just get your parents-- hmm?--

and we'll sit down and...

No.

- Johanna... - Please.

Your mother would never hurt you.

She gave up everything for you

because she loves you.

That's who your mother is.

You'll see that when she gets here.

I had to call them to let them know that you're here

- and that you're safe. - Where is she?

Johanna?

Johanna? Are you here?

- Where is she? - Johanna!

- Oh, thank God. - No!

- No! No! - Don't you ever do that to us.

You can't run off. You cannot run off, okay?

I want to get her home. Dad, we'll talk to you later.

No, no, no, no, let's just...

I want to get her home!

Just hold on!

What is happening here?

When did you find out?

Yesterday.

When the...

when the scan...

scans came back and, um...

Well, if it's not responding to treatment,

what's the next step?

More i-invasive stuff.

It's bad news, Dad.

It's bad news.

We, uh, we told Johanna, and she didn't take it well.

She started biting her mouth, and she ran out.

That's-that's not true. It's-it's not...

- Johanna. - It's not true.

It's not what happened.

- It's not what happened. - Hey, hey, come on.

- They're gonna kill me! - Hey, come on.

They're gonna kill me! They're gonna kill me!

No!

I can't do this with you anymore.

I'm bringing your dad in for surgery tomorrow,

and I need you to be good for me.

I don't believe you.

I don't believe anything you say.

You know, if they can't cut it out,

they'll put him on hospice. That's what's next.

It's not true.

There's something in the birdhouse that's killing him,

and you're just letting it happen.

I can't play these games with you anymore.

You're doing this!

You're letting it happen!

You just... You're just letting it happen!

Hello?

Hello?

Hello! Hello!

Hello!

Don't ignore me! Don't ignore me!

JOHANNA Help me! Dad!

Please! Please!

Dad, help me!

Please!

Please help me! Daddy!

No! No, no! Mommy, please!

Please! No! No!

Not again, Mommy.

No!

No. No!

You... you had a nightmare.

Y-You were making sounds.

It's okay.

You're okay.

Please don't hurt me.

Hurt you?

You know, the day you were born...

I-I was away. I was...

I was...

I...

I don't think I've told you enough...

...how much I love you.

Go back to sleep.

Dad.

Dad?

He's in here with me.

It won't be much longer now.

He's almost gone.

Go away.

Go away. Leave us alone.

You are alone.

When he's dead, she's going to rip you open.

Why are you doing this?

What do you want?

I want what you want, Johanna.

I want this all to end.

NAOMI Hey. Harry.

- Hmm? - Harry?

Yeah.

DOCTOR Do you know where the wife is?

Hey.

What's the matter?

I don't know.

What's going on?

Did you ever find your dog?

I-I'm not gonna be around much anymore.

My mom got a new job, and so we're...

we're moving away.

But she says I can't go with her.

I have to stay with my... my dad for a little while.

I'm sorry.

You don't have to be sorry.

He's my dad. He's...

He's my dad.

I got to go.

What are you gonna do now?

I'm gonna go home.

Gonna go home.

Johanna?

No.

It's not real, it's not real,

it's not real, it's not real, it's not real.

Johanna.

Dad?

NAOMI Johanna?

She's calling you.

Take my hand.

Come here.

Okay?

Okay.

I-I don't know...

I've tried...

I have tried

so many times to keep this day from coming.

I don't know what I can do. I-I don't know what I can do.

I-I don't know what I can do anymore.

I don't know what I can do with you anymore.

There was a complication.

What?

He's dead.

He's dead.

That's not true.

That's-that's not what's happening.

I-I...

I just saw him. He was upstairs.

There's something evil in the birdhouse.

- That-that's what's making... - Stop lying!

Stop lying, please.

S-Stop lying.

Mommy, I'm not lying. Please, please, please.

Mommy, please, it's not--

It's in here.

It killed Toto.

It's gonna take Daddy, but we can still save him.

We just have to break the birdhouse.

We-we need to save him, we can still save him

and everything will be okay, Mommy, okay?

Do you see this?

I bought this for you at a Home Depot.

What?

There were six more like it

on the shelf.

You think... you think breaking this will fix things?

There's nothing in here

that you didn't put inside.

There is nothing in here that you didn't put inside.

You're laughing.

You think this is funny?

You like this, don't you?

- You like this. - No. No.

You like it. Yes, you like it.

No! No!

You like it!

All of it!

All of it just a joke to you.

- No. Please. - It's all a game!

It's how you wanted it,

- how you want it. - No.

You want to play games?

- Come on! - No.

- You got your wish. - Please, stop.

He's never coming back!

- Mommy, no! No! - It's what you wanted!

It's what you wanted.

It's how you want it!

- Mommy, please! - It's what you want.

It's how you want it!

It's what you want!

No! No!

Mommy, let me out!

No!

Don't do this!

Please don't do this.

He's not dead! He's not dead!

He's not... he's not...

He's... he's...

It's time for dinner.

Come sit down.

Do you know why I gave up being a pianist?

I was worried you thought it was because of you.

But it wasn't.

You know, I gave it up because I just

wasn't good enough.

I could never give all of myself to it.

I know what we have to do now.

There's still time.

I've thrown everything in the basement.

- The birdhouse. - I...

We can leave it all behind.

I-I don't know what you're saying.

You do.

- No, I don't. - You do.

You do.

You know you frighten me, don't you?

That some part of you has always frightened me.

I think, because of that,

I haven't always taken care of you the way I should've.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that he's gone.

You know, he didn't have anything left.

But I do.

I do.

I can give all of myself to you.

I know you feel like you're being attacked,

but that's not what's happening.

I'm your mother, and I love you.

Just...

tell me you understand.

Just tell me. Just tell me you understand.

Just speak to me. Just...

tell me.

Speak to me.

Speak to me.

Come on.

Come on!

Speak to me!

Speak to me!

I don't know-- I don't know how. I...

Do you even feel it?

Johanna, come back!

Johanna!

It's not real, it's not real,

it's not real, it's not real, it's not real, it's not real,

it's not real, it's not...

You poor thing.

No mother. No father.

You're all alone.

You did this.

You made him go away. You made him!

VOICE You-you... you made him.

You made him!

I am but a moth to a flame.

It's all over now.

I want him back.

Give him back. Give him back.

Please, please, give him back. Please.

Please. Give him back.

Please.

You know he's never coming back.

No.

- He was always going to die. - No. No.

Shh.

It's not true. No.

Please. Please.

I can't bring him back.

But I can take you to him.

There's nothing left for you here.

It's time.

Take my hand.

HARRY Please.
