[Woman]: Shh...

Go back to sleep.

[boy moans softly]

[Boy]: Once upon a time,
before I came,

you cried and cried

and watched TV all day,

until you were a zombie,

but then I zoomed down
from heaven

through Skylight

into Room.

Whoosh-pshew!

And I was kicking you
from the inside.

Boom, boom!

And then I shot out onto Rug
with my eyes wide open,

and you cutt-ed the cord
and said, "Hello, Jack."

Ma, I'm five!

- You are.
- I'm so old now.

You're such a big boy now.

Yeah.

Good morning, lamp.

Good morning, plant.

Good morning, Eggsnake.

Good morning, rug.

Good morning, wardrobe.

Good morning, TV.

Good morning, sink.

Morning, toilet.

Morning, everyone.

Okay.

It's my birthday.
I'm five.

I get it.

Take your vitamin.
It's the last one.

Vitamins.

[moans]

- Is bad tooth hurting?
- Mm-hmm.

But you know,

mind over matter.

If you don't mind,
it doesn't matter.

You're right.

Hey, do you know

what we're gonna do today?

What?

We are going to bake
a birthday cake.

A birthday cake?

Mm-hmm.

- Like in TV?
- Mm-hmm, but for real.

No way!

[laughs]

The back.

Now go, one, two, three.

Four, five.
One, two, three, four, five...

There you are.

[television playing]

I love you.

Okay, TV Off.

I'm gonna grow and grow
until I'm a giant.

Look, Ma, I'm strong as Samson.

Yeah. You are.

I'm going to be
Jack the Giant, Giant-Killer

and burst out of Skylight
into space

with my dog, Lucky,

and boing, boing, boing
to all of the planets.

Let's start with some stretch.

Great job. Great job.

Other leg, quickly.

Switch legs. Hup.

- Yeah.
- I'm doing it.

- Yeah.
- I'm doing...

jump, jump...

like a frog.

Feet back
and then do a push-up down.

Up. Okay, time for track.

Now this wall.

Oh, I meant this wall.

Did I say this wall?

I meant this wall,

but I actually meant,
I meant this wall,

and this one,

but this one needs it, too.

[♪♪♪]

Yeah!

Mm.

Oh, it's a beautiful egg.

Pretty good.

Is that the batter?

That's the batter.

We're gonna add
some butter, too.

How about that?

- Butter!
- Urgh!

- Ho, ho!
- Oh, yeah, mash that in.

Well, we got it!

Why don't you do some of that?

- Can you... handle that?
- Yeah.

Abracadabra!

Now the candles!

We don't have any candles.

[moans]

I know.

You said a birthday cake,
for real.

That means candles on fire.

Jack...

It's okay without the candles.

It's still a birthday cake.

You should ask for candles
for a Sunday Treat,

not dumb jeans.

I'm sorry.

You know, I have to ask
for stuff that we really need,

stuff that he can get easily.

But Old Nick gets anything,
by magic.

Why don't we try your cake?

No!

Jack.

Let's try a bite of it.

I said, no!

Come here.

Next week when I'm six,

you'd better ask
for real candles.

Next year, you mean.

[Ma]: And Edmond tears free
out of the bag,

and swims and swims
to the island of Monte Cristo,

and he digs up the treasure

his friend
was telling him about.

He buys a big yacht...

And sails back to France,

and when he gets there,

he decides to buy the island,

and call himself "The Count,"

and vows to take revenge

on all of the people
that were mean to him.

Can we have more birthday cake?

Tomorrow.

Just a bite?

We brushed our teeth already.
[watch beeps]

One last story?
Please.

Come on, Jack.
It's late.

Let's go to bed.

[Jack]: Sing.

♪ One evening
when the sun went down

was burning

came a hobo hiking

"Boys, I'm not turning

[rumbling]

[beeping]

[door opens and closes]

- [Man]: Here's his jeans.
- [Ma]: Thanks.

[Man]: Grapes were way too much,
so I got you canned pears.

What's that?
Is it a birthday cake?

[Ma]: Mm.

[Man]:
Mm. You should have told me.

I'd have got him a present.

So, uh, how old is he anyway?
Four?

Five.

One, two, three...

[Jack]:
There's Room,

Then Outer Space,

with all the TV planets,

then Heaven.

Plant is real,
but not trees.

Spiders are real,

and one time the mosquito
that was sucking my blood.

But squirrels and dogs
are just TV,

except Lucky.

He's my dog
who might come some day.

Monsters are too big
to be real,

and the sea.

TV persons are flat
and made of colours.

But me and you are real.

Old Nick...

I don't know if he's real.

Maybe half.

...47, 48, 49.

50, 51...

[Ma]: Shh...

[♪♪♪]

Oh.

What is it?

It's a bad tooth.

Mm-hmm.

Can I hold it?

Wow!

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[smack!]

[Jack]: You made him gone!

He was an alive thing.

He was real!

He would have stolen our food.

Mouse can have my food.

I'm not hungry.

He would have brought in germs,
bit us in our sleep.

Mouse is my friend,

and you splattered him dead.

No, I didn't.

He's hunky-dory.

Are you tricking me?

No, Jack, I swear.

He is safe at home
in the backyard with his Ma.

What backyard?

Mouse lives in a yard in TV?

Here, why don't you make a UFO
out of this?

Why you didn't tell Old Nick
it was my birthday?

Because he's not our friend.

He said he'd bring me a present.

You're not supposed
to be listening to that.

You're supposed to be asleep.

I never had a present.

Well, he didn't mean it.

It might be my dog, Lucky.

Jack, we can't have a dog.

There's not enough room...
space...

there's not enough space,

with the barking
and the scratching.

Lucky won't scratch.

He promises.

There is no Lucky!

Yes, there is!

No, there's not.

You made him up
in your head.

He's not real.

[sobs]

Jack, I'm sorry.

Come here, come here, come here.
I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You're right.
That wasn't nice.

[television plays softly]

Where do we go
when we're asleep?

Right here in Room.

But dreams...

do we go to,
into TV for dreaming?

Mm-mm.

We're never anywhere
but here.

Can I open it?

Mm-hmm.

Yes!

[Jack screaming]

[screams again]

[screams again]

Why the aliens
never scream back?

I guess
they still can't hear us.

We'll do it even louder, okay?

Okay.

[Jack screams]

I'll kill you!

Would you like to kill me now?

Ma, he's attacking me!

Oh, no!

Got you. Ow!

Ow!

Ma, what smells bad?

Fuck.

Ugh.

Shh...

[door opens]

[Man]: What's that smell?

[Ma]:
Sorry, I burned some cheese.

- Here.
- I just wasn't thinking.

[Man]: Well, thinking
is not your strong suit.

[Ma]: I know.

[Man]: Yeah.

[Ma]: Why don't you sit down?

- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

So how did he
like his truck?

Yeah?

[Man]: Yeah.

I know boys.

The vitamins.

Ah, it's a waste
of money.

There's nothing in them.

Well, if we had a better diet.

Oh, fuck,
here we go again.

Maybe if you could
stop complaining

and be a little grateful.

[Ma]: Thank you.

[Man]: God, it's fucking
pulling teeth sometimes.

Thank you for everything.

You just have no idea
about the world of today.

- No.
- No.

[Man]: Who pays the power bill?

Who pays for everything?

- You.
- Mm-hmm.

[Man]: And how do you think

I'm gonna be able
to keep doing that?

What do you mean?

Nothing.

No, but what does that mean?

Six months.
I've been laid off.

Six months.

Yeah.

If you had to worry
your little head...

What are you gonna do about it?

Are you looking for a job?

There are no fucking jobs!

Jesus.

Hey there.

He's asleep.

I don't think so.

Do you keep him in the closet
all day as well as all night?

What, does the little freak
got two heads or something?

Hey.

- Hey.
- Shh.

- Come to bed.
- Hey, Jack.

- Hey.
- Let's go to bed.

You want some candy?

Do you like candy, huh?

Come on out and get some candy.

[Ma]: Come to bed.

Please?

Please?

Didn't your momma ever teach you
any manners, young lady?

[remote control car starts]

[man coughs]

Oh, hey sonny.

- [Jack screams]
- [Ma]: Get away from him!

[Ma]: Don't touch him!
Don't touch him!

[Man]: Fuck!

[Ma]: Don't touch him!

[Man]: Quit the noise!

Quit the noise.
Quit the noise.

Do you want to breathe?

Yeah?

Do you want to breathe?

Then shut the fuck up.

God!

Fuck.

[Ma]: Don't touch him.

Fuck.

[Man]: If you ever
touch me like that again,

if you grab me like that,

I'll fucking kill you.

- Do you understand that?
- Don't touch him.

[Man]: Yeah. Don't you forget
where you got him.

[beeping, door opens and closes]

Jack? Jack?

[Jack]: I'm sorry!

- Are you okay?
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

- It's okay.
- I won't do it again.

Hmm?

Hmm.

Ma, I'm a dragon.

I'm a dragon.

He cut the power.

"For, you see,

so many out-of-the-way things
had happened lat-ely, that..."

- Lately.
- Lately.

"...That Alice
had begun to think

"that very few things, indeed,

"were really impossible.

There seemed to be no use
in waiting by the little door."

Ma?

Hey, Jack,
do you remember Mouse?

Yeah.

Yeah?

You know where he is?

Hmm.

I do.

He's on the other side
of this wall.

What other side?

Jack, there's two sides
to everything.

Not on an octagon.

Yeah, but...

An octagon has eight sides.

But a wall, okay,
a Wall's like this, see?

And we're on the inside

and Mouse is on the outside.

In Outer Space?

No, in the world.

It's much closer
than Outer Space.

I can't see the outside-side.

Listen, I know that I told you
something else before,

but you were much younger.

I didn't think
that you could understand,

but now you're so old,
you're so smart.

I know that you can get this.

Where do you think
that Old Nick gets our food?

From TV by magic.

There is no magic.

What you see on TV,

those are pictures
of real things,

of real people.

It's real stuff.

Dora's real, for real?

No, that's a drawing.

Dora is a drawing.

But other people,

they have faces like us.

Those are pictures
of real things,

and all the other stuff
you see on there,

that's real, too.

That's real oceans, real trees,
real cats, dogs.

No way.

Where would they all fit?

They just do.
They just fit.

They just fit
out in the world.

Jack, come on, you're so smart.

I know that you've been
wondering about this.

Can I have something else
to eat?

There's a leaf.
Do you see that?

Where?

- Look.
- I don't see a leaf.

Come here.
I want you to see.

You can have a closer look.

You see that?

See?

Dumbo Ma.

That's not a leaf.
Leaves are green.

Yeah, on trees,

but then they fall,
and they rot,

like salad in the fridge.

Where's all the stuff
you said?

Trees, and dogs,
and cats, and grass?

We can't see it from here

because Skylight looks upwards
instead of sideways.

You're just tricking me.

No, I'm not.

Liar, liar, pants on fire!

Jack.

I couldn't explain it before,
because you were too small.

You were too small
to understand,

so I had to make up a story,
but...

but now I'm doing the opposite,
okay?

I'm doing the opposite of lying.

I am un-lying,
because you're five now.

You're five,

and you're old enough

to understand
what the world is.

You have to understand.

We can't keep living like this.

You need to help me.

I want to be four again.

Do you remember how...

do you remember how Alice
wasn't always in Wonderland?

She fell down, down, down,
deep in a hole.

Right, well,
I wasn't always in Room.

I'm like Alice.

I was a little girl
named Joy.

Nah!

And I lived in a house
with my mom and my dad.

You would call them
Grandma and Grandpa.

What house?

A house.
It was in the world.

And there was a backyard,

and we had a hammock,

and we would swing
in the hammock,

and we would eat
ice cream.

A TV house?

No, Jack, a real house,

not TV.

Are you even listening to me?

When I was a little older,

when I was 17...

- I was walking home from school-
- Where was I?

You were still up in heaven.

But there was a guy.

He pretended that
his dog was sick.

What guy?

Old Nick.

We call him "Old Nick."

I don't know
what his real name is.

But he pretended
his dog was sick...

- What's the dog's name?
- Jack, there wasn't a dog.

He was trying to trick me, okay?

There wasn't a dog.
Old Nick stole me.

I want a different story!

No! This is the story
that you get.

He put me
in his garden shed.

Here.

Room is the shed.

He's locked the door.

He's the only one
that knows the code...

you know, the secret numbers
that open the door?

He's the only one that knows,

and I've been locked in here
for seven years.

I've been in here
for seven years.

Do you understand?

This story's boring!

Jack, the world is so big.

It's so big,
you wouldn't even believe it.

And Room is just
one stinky part of it.

Room's not stinky.

Only when you do a fart.

My God. Okay.

I don't believe
in your stinky world!

It's warm again.

Ma.

Ma.

- Ma?
- Hmm.

[♪♪♪]

[Jack]:
Eggsnake's our longest friend

and fanciest.

Meltedy Spoon's
the best to eat with

because he's more blobbier.

Labyrinth is the twistiest

and she hides things
so I don't know where they are.

Toilet's the best
at disappearing poo.

Lamp's the brightest,

Except when the power's out.

You're the best at reading
and songs and lots,

except if you're having
a Gone Day.

I'm the best at drawing,
and jumping, and growing,

and nearly everything!

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[TV playing softly]

Are turtles real?

Yeah. They're totally real.

I had a turtle as a pet.

Crocodiles and sharks?

Yeah, they're all real.

Real?

Sort of.

So, these are real people,
but they're playing dress-up.

They're pretending

that they're people
from hundreds of years ago.

Just TV?

You're getting it.

When Old Nick comes back,

I'm gonna kick him in the butt.

Let me tell you something.

You know, one time,

I tried to kick Old Nick
in the butt.

I hid behind the door,

and I was holding the lid
from the toilet tank.

There used to be a lid on it.

It was the heaviest thing
in Room.

When he came in,

I smashed it on his head,

but I messed up.

He shoved the door closed,
and he grabbed me by the wrist.

That's why it's sore now.

We could wait
'til he's asleep

and kill him dead.

Yeah, we could, but...

then what?

We'd run out of food

and we don't know the code
to the door.

Hey, the Grandma and the Grandpa
could come.

Jack, they don't know
where we are.

Room's not on any map.

Jack, listen to me.

Now, we've got a chance.

We've nearly missed it,
but we've got our chance.

So you're gonna help me.

You're gonna help me
trick Old Nick.

I don't get it.

I'm going to make
your face so hot,

that Old Nick will have to
take you to the hospital

in his truck,

and then when you get there,

you're gonna say to the doctors,
"Help! Police!"

Well, maybe next year
when I'm six.

Tonight.

It has to be tonight, Jack.

We'll tell Old Nick
that because of the power cut,

you got so cold,
that you got a fever.

Tomorrow, please.

No. I'm your Ma,

so, sometimes, I have to pick
for the both of us.

Ow!

It's okay.
It's okay.

You've got
to stay floppy.

Okay?

Stay floppy,

and you're not going to move
or say a word.

You're too weak, okay?

Ew, what are you doing?

What are you doing?

[vomiting]

Sorry.

I've just got to make you
smell sick.

Good. That's good.

Show me how...

Show you me how

you're gonna pull the note
out of your pocket.

Show me the note.
Come on.

When you're at the hospital...

Show me.
What's this?

What's that? Oh.

You see? You've got a bit of me
all the time.

Okay. Put it
back in your pocket.

Okay, good.

Okay.

And you've got your strong, too.

Okay?

I'm scared.

I know.

Come on.

[Jack sobs]

[♪♪♪]

[Jack sobs]

It's okay.

[door opens]

[alarm code beeping]

[Ma]: There you are.

You know the drill.

Not a peep 'til the door's shut.

Sorry. It's...

Jack's sick.

It was so cold.

Well, you brought
that on yourself.

Well, I couldn't
keep him warm,

and now he's burning up.

Give him some of
those painkillers.

I tried, but he just keeps
puking them back up.

Don't. Don't!

Stay still.

Jesus, he's on fire.

Okay, well I'll get him
something stronger.

But he... he's five.

He's dehydrated.

He has a fever.

He could go into convulsions
at any minute.

Just shut up
and let me think!

Okay. All right. Okay.

I'll... I'll get him some
tomorrow night.

No! He... you need to take him
to the E.R. right now.

Stop the hysterics.

Please, I'm begging you!

Am I still gonna go?

No, not this time.

It's okay.

[Ma]:
So you remember how Edmond

pulls his friend out of a bag
and hides him,

and then he gets in the bag,

and he lays in there
really still

until the guards come?

So that's
what you're going to do.

You see?

How that's even tricks-ier
than pretending to be sick,

because you're gonna...

play dead.

Folding over.

I don't want to be dead.

[Ma]: You're just
pretending to be dead.

Stay stiff.

We're gonna roll you up in Rug
so that Old Nick won't see you,

won't see
that you're alive inside.

Old Nick's
going to pick you up like this.

Stay stiff, stiff, stiff.

And, and you're not gonna be
wobbly and floppy this time.

You're gonna be real stiff,
like a... like a robot.

It's gonna shake.

Now, that is what
it'll feel like.

And that's when you know
that Old Nick's driving.

That means he's busy,

and so it's time
for you to roll.

And you're not gonna
make a sound,

and I'm gonna be there
in your head,

talking to you the whole time.

Come on.
Roll, roll, roll.

Now, wiggle,
wiggle, wiggle, wiggle.

Get yourself out.

[Jack]: I can't. Stop!

- Come on, Jack.
- Ma, I can't!

And Old Nick's gonna come,

and he's gonna pick you up
in the rug,

and he's gonna
take you outside,

and he's gonna put you
in his truck,

and he's gonna...

find a place to...
to lay you down.

No.

It'll be okay, though,

because you're gonna wiggle out,

and you're gonna run away.

Head over here.

Arms like this.

Okay, there was
too many turns that time.

I'll shorten the rug.

Okay.

Ooh.

Roll, roll, roll!

Roll, Jack, roll, come on!

Roll.

You've got it. Now wiggle,
wiggle, wiggle, wiggle.

- Yes!
- I hate you!

Okay, Okay.

Truck, wiggle out, jump, run.

Okay, you'll jump,

jump when you hit
the first stop sign,

and the truck
rolls to a stop.

And you're gonna shout
when you see somebody.

You say, "My Ma is Joy Newsome."

Who's Somebody?

Anybody. It's the first person
that you see.

An actual

real-life person?

Mm-hmm.

What if Old Nick unwraps me?

He won't.

You got Bad Tooth?

He's in here
so I don't lose him.

You are amazing.

And you're going to love it.

What?

The world.

My house with the hammock

and Grandma and Grandpa.

And you?

Yeah.

[door thumps]

Stay stiff.
I'm sorry, Jack.

Stay stiff.

You can do this.

Antibiotics.

What are you doing?

He got worse in the night.

He didn't wake up.

Oh, jeez.

You poor girl.

Well, I guess it must have been
pretty serious.

You killed my baby.

Okay, take it easy.

Okay, let me have a look.

Don't touch him!

Okay.

Are you sure?

Am I sure?

Okay. Well, he can't stay here,
you know?

[sobbing] No.

Where are you gonna take him?

I don't know.

I, I'm thinking. Um...

Somewhere nice.

It can't be here.

I'll feel him.

Okay.

Somewhere with trees.

Trees, sure, yeah.

I want to swear to me

you won't even
lay your filthy eyes on him.

Swear to me that
you won't look at him!

I swear.

Okay, well, it's about
an hour until dark.

Now!

I can't bear it.

Okay, all right, all right.

Gentle, please!

Okay. Okay.

Please!
Please, please, be gentle.

[Man]: I got him now! I got him.
I got him.

Step back.

Face the wall.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[Ma]:
Truck.

Wiggle out.

Jump, run, somebody.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[brakes screech]

- [thump]
- God. Stupid bitch.

[Dog walker]: Oh! Boomer!

I'm really sorry, man.
She just came out of nowhere.

I'm... hey, hey,
I'm really sorry.

Is your little girl okay?

It's under control.

Okay.

Has she been in
some kind of accident?

Would you like me
to phone someone?

Help!

I'll take care of it.

[Jack crying]

What's that you've
got there, honey?

Come on!

Is that for me?

Come on.

Why don't you just
mind your own business?

Ma!

- I'm calling the cops, Mister...
- Help me!

Fuck!

[Dog walker]:
Hey, whoa, hey, hey!

Come here. Sit.
Sit down.

Hi, honey.

This is Boomer.
He's not gonna hurt you.

He's all gone now.
I'm gonna call somebody.

[sirens approaching]

It was a red pick-up.

She was running away
from this guy.

He grabbed her.

- I tried to stop him and...
- [woman]: Thank you.

[woman]: Hey. Hey, there.

I'm Officer Parker.
Can you tell me your name?

Hi.

[whispers] Jack.

Can you say that
a little louder for me?

[Officer Parker]: Okay.

So, um, do you...

have another name?

Jack?

Okay, it's okay.

Can you tell me how old you are?

I'm five.

Five?

That's great, okay.

Now, uh, can you tell me
where you live?

[male officer]: Why don't
we call Child Services?

Do you have a mom, Jack?

Ma.

[Officer Parker]: Okay, good.

Does she have another name?

I can't remember.

Um, where's Ma right now?

- Room.
- What room?

Jack, where's this room?

That guy with the truck,
is that your dad?

Is that Ma's boyfriend?
Do you know him?

What's that, Jack?

A bit of Ma.

That's okay, buddy.

That's good.
Thank you, Jack.

That's good.
You did real good, okay?

You did good.

So Jack,
anything you recognize, buddy?

Jack, anything?

Your room, Jack.

What's outside the room?

Space.

No... the world.

[male officer]: You think
the kid's on something?

[Officer Parker]: Okay, listen,
when you step out the door...

No? No, you don't?

[Jack]: We don't know
how to open the door.

[male officer]: My money's
on some kind of cult...

the tooth, the long hair.

Is there daylight in your room?

Okay, good.
How many windows?

Zero.

[Officer Parker]: Well, then,
how does the sun come in?

Through Skylight.

Skylight?

Okay, excellent.

So you live in a house
with a skylight?

No, it's not a house.

Okay.

- It's a...
- Yeah?

It's a...

Uh, you'd get more out of him
after he's had some sleep.

Tom, give it a second.

Room's a... a shed.

A shed, Jack? A shed?

Okay, good boy.

Yeah, it's a needle
in a haystack.

[Officer Parker]:
Okay, listen to me.

What made you jump
out the truck, Jack?

Ma said in my head.

Okay, what exactly
did she say?

Jump when it slows down,
but I couldn't.

All right.
So, what did you do?

What did you do?

Third time, I got bent.

The... third time
of what, Jack?

Third slow.

Everything went sideways,

and then it stopped,
then I jumped...

- I got it.
- ...into...

I got it, buddy.
I got it.

- 54-09 call.
- Go ahead.

Dispatch. Listen carefully.
We have a rough location.

All right, uh, south on Elm,

three stop signs
past the junction with Beech.

Look for a garden shed
with a skylight.

Also check the most recent
satellite images

for a red pick-up
in the driveway.

54-09 on route.

- [Tom]: Unbelievable.
- Okay, copy that, 54-09.

[Officer Parker]:
Good boy, Jack.

[Dispatch]: ...A possible
active hostage situation.

[sirens wailing]

[woman]:
27-Adam calling in.

We are at 40019 Pine Street.

[Officer Parker]:
Stay with the kid.

[Tom]: Everything's
gonna be okay, Jack.

Settle in.

Hey, Parker, backyard.

[police radio chatter]

Ma!

Ma...

Ma.

Ma!

Open the door! Open!

- [Ma]: Jack! Where is he?
- Ma! Ma, I'm in this one!

Jack!

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[sobbing]

[♪♪♪]

Ma.

Can we go to bed?

Yeah.

They'll take us somewhere
to sleep soon.

No, but Bed...

in Room.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[traffic rushes below]

[Jack gasps]

- Ma! Ma!
- Oh.

[Ma]: Good morning, sleepyhead.

I was waiting
so long for you to wake up,

I fell asleep again.

Are we on another planet?

Mm-mm.

Same one, just a different spot.

This one is...

a bedroom in a hospital.

Are we sick for real or pretend?

We're not sick.

We're the opposite of sick.

How long are we staying?

Not long.

Grandma saw us last night,

and she's gonna get us
once they say we're okay.

And Grandpa?

He was away for work,

but he's on a plane
coming back home.

I wetted the bed before.
I'm sorry.

Yeah?

It was by accident.

- It's okay.
- [phone rings]

Hello?

Yeah.

Just now.

Uh, yeah, that would be great.

Can you bring it in 20 minutes?

Okay, thank you.

Step out, okay.

- Ma that's waste.
- We'll get you new ones.

[Jack]: For Sunday Treat?

[Ma]: There will be
so many treats,

and not just on Sunday.

Ma, where's the bath?

There's a shower.

It's splashier.

Jack, come here.

That's us.

Ma, will he find us?

No.

He will never find us.

Come on.

Bath before bed.
That's the rule.

There are no rules, Jack.

We can do what we like.

[moaning]

Are you hurting?

No.

You wanna come in?

Mm-mm.

[knocking]

Ma, the door's ticking.

- [knocking]
- Hey, it's okay.

- [Doctor]: Good morning.
- Hi.

Hey, it's okay.
Come on.

So I hear
we're all awake now?

Yeah.

Just put it
right there.

[Ma]: It's okay Jack.

Hi, Jack.

How are you doing?

[breathing heavily]

My name's Dr. Mittal,

and you were asleep
when I showed up this morning.

You hungry?

[Ma]: Do you want
some breakfast?

Yeah, you must be starved.

[Ma]: He's gonna bring you
some breakfast.

Check out what we've got.

It's pancakes and fruit.

[Ma]: Mm.

Let's check it out.

Wow! Pancakes.

[breathing heavily]

[Ma]: Looks really good.

Really, really good.

You want to try it?

- It goes with syrup, too.
- Everything's looking good.

You want to try syrup?
It's very sweet.

So...

I brought you some goodies.

Sunglasses.

Okay.

That'll make you
more comfortable,

if you need to go outside,

and, um, sunscreen.

That's for him, mainly.

This is important.
That's-that's for Jack.

Is that really necessary?

Well, there's a lot of
germs in the air

that he still needs
to get used to.

And, uh, my colleague

prescribed this
for your pain,

for your wrist,

until they can get you
set up for surgery.

And that's
to help you sleep.

Just take it
if you need it.

Okay.

Thank you.

Come on, Jack.

Let's try some pancake, huh?

So, have you had a chance

to think about what we discussed
this morning?

Yeah, I thought...
I did think about it.

Thank you, but...

I-I really want to go home.

Okay.

You know my view.

Yeah.

And with everything
you two have experienced,

and, uh,

just to assess Jack properly.

But nothing happened to Jack.

No, no, no, I understand.

I understand.

He's gonna be okay, right?

The most important thing you did

was get him out
while he's still plastic.

What?

[whispers]
I'm not plastic.

What's that, Jack?

He says that he's...

he's real.

He's not plastic.

Well, you got me there, Jack.

You're real.

And you're very brave.

[multiple voices talking
in hallway]

Um... Yeah, let's talk
about this later.

Dad?

Dad!

I'm sorry. We just couldn't
wait any longer.

It's okay.

Don't worry about it.

[Grandma]: Hello, Jack.

Thanks for saving
our little girl.

[♪♪♪]

[Jack]: I've been in the world
37 hours.

I've seen pancakes,

and a stairs,

and birds,

and windows,

and hundreds of cars,

and clouds,

and police,

And doctors,

and Grandma and Grandpa.

But Ma says

they don't live together
in the hammock house anymore.

Grandma lives there
with her friend, Leo, now,

and Grandpa lives far away.

Sorry. I'm sorry.

[♪♪♪]

I've seen persons
with different faces

and bigness and smells,

talking all together.

[Reporter]: Now, we are getting
unconfirmed reports

That an individual
has just been arrested...

[Jack]:
The world's like

all TV planets
on at the same time...

- [phone rings]
- Hello?

...So I don't know which way
to look and listen.

I just want to come home.

There's doors and more doors,

and behind all the doors,

there's another inside,

and another outside,

and things happen,
happen, happening.

It never stops.

Plus, the world's always
changing brightness and hotness,

and there's invisible germs
floating everywhere.

When I was small,
I only knew small things,

but now I'm five,
I know everything.

[sirens wailing]

[crowd cheering]

[Reporter]: Here we are.

We're outside the Newsome home.

We're waiting,
and there are two vans...

[crowd cheering]

[Ma]: We're walking out in this?

[Grandma]:
We're getting out here.

Come on, sweetie. It's okay.
Just pick him up.

[Ma]: Come here, Jack.

[crowd cheering]

[Reporter]:
Mrs. Newsome, Channel 5...

[reporters clamoring]

[crowd cheering]

Don't worry about it.
They'll get bored quickly.

- The back of the property...
- Are you okay?

...Is screened-in really well,

and we've taken care
where necessary.

Okay.

So if you keep
the front drapes closed...

You're home now.

...You'll have
complete privacy.

We'll be outside
if you need anything at all.

All right. Thank you.
Thank you so much.

Your father's still
talking to the lawyer.

[Ma]: Do you want to take
your shoes off?

Wow!

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

Okay.

Let's check out downstairs.

You can do it.

You want to hold my hand?

Oh, that's good.

Come on, one step at a time.

- Okay, one more. Good.
- Hello.

- Welcome home, honey.
- Hi.

I'm very, very happy to see you.

- Hey, Jack.
- You, too.

This is Leo.

Hey there, sport.

[Grandma]: Leo's been our friend
since your morn was little.

Jack, Jack, come on. Say...

It's okay. It's okay.
Yeah, it's all right.

It's all right, sweetie.

- Let's just...
- Sorry.

It's okay. Come on in.

[Leo]: So, what can I get you?

Anyone hungry?

We have everything.

[Grandma]:
Yeah, people have been so kind.

Um, hey, Jack, would you like
something to drink?

Jack?

Grandma asked you a question.
Do you want something?

Are you hungry?

[whispers] Juice.

Uh, he would like some juice.
Please.

- Okay.
- Coming right up.

Thank you.

- What about...
- I'm fine.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Hey. You know when your Grandma
asks you a question?

You can answer her.

You don't need to say everything
to me, okay?

Just...

- Ma.?
- What?

What are those?

[Ma, whispers]: Those are toys,
some gifts for you,

from people that are very happy
that we got home safe.

What people?

Just people.

[Grandma]: Do you have
the glasses and the tray?

[Jack]: Where's the ice cream
and the hammock?

I don't know.

Work it out later.

What is that?
Let me see that.

Where'd you get this?

Over there.

Just in case.

Do you have a dog?

Oh.

It's Leo's dog, Seamus.

He's on furlough
at the moment.

There's a pal of mine
out of town,

so living the country life.

[Grandma]: You know,
people at the hospital

said to avoid pets
until your immunity's back up.

[door opens]

[Grandma]: What?

[Grandpa]: The lawyer said
they're expecting a plea,

But we can't rule out a trial.

He wanted to get
into everything.

I said not today.

Good.

I made it clear
there'd be no further contact,

no statements,

to respect our family.

Ah, sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm...

[Leo]: Can I get you
a drink, Bob?

Thank you.

Scotch, if you have...
whatever you have.

Sure.

[Grandma]: Well, sweetie,

is there anything you'd like,

or like to do, or...

[Ma]: You got it.
You got it.

Go on.

Yeah.

This is your mom's room, Jack.

Hey.

Uh, maybe tomorrow,

we can cut that hair.

What do you say, Jack?

Ma?

What? What?

[whispers]
It's where my strong is...

That's true.

He says
that's where his strong is.

Oh. Yeah.

Um...

Maybe I'll just
let you rest, huh,

and we'll...
we'll see you downstairs.

We'll be downstairs, okay?

- Okay.
- Okay.

[Grandpa]:
Mm. It's really good, Nancy.

[Ma]: Want to try some?

No?

It's apples.
You like apples.

[Grandma]:
How about some ice cream?

Here you go.

What do you say?

[whispers] Thank you.

[Ma]: I know you can say it
louder than that.

[slightly louder whisper]
Thank you.

- It's okay.
- Thank you for being polite.

- Leo?
- It's good.

[whispers] Ice cream hurts.

[Leo]: You've got a brain freeze
there, Jack.

[Ma]: You've just
got to eat slower. Okay?

I think I'll turn in.

Is there something wrong?

Mm-mm. No.

Why are you in such a hurry?

Been a big day.

You haven't said
one word to Jack.

Joy. Joy.

Um...

We're not going
to have to talk about this now?

[Ma]: Yes, we do, Dad.

Look at him.

Dad.

Robert.

[Ma]: Please.

Dad.

I'm... I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I can't.

- We're out of here.
- Robert.

[Grandma]: Joy. Joy.

[Ma]: Put your spoon down.
Let's go.

- Hey.
- We're going to bed.

[Grandma]:
No, Joy, don't... Joy!

Robert.

[whispers]
Where's Grandpa?

He had to go home for a while.

You want to play
with some of those toys?

Do you know who that is?

This?

That's you.

Yeah, that's me.

And Stacey Benton

and Heather Noel

and Laura Sullivan.

We were on a relay team.

I was the anchor.

I was really fast.

We did track.

- Real track?
- Mm-hmm.

On a field.

You know what happened to them?

- No.
- Exactly.

Nothing.

Just lived their life
and nothing happened.

[♪♪♪]

[Officer]:
Nothing new at this point.

Just a family reunited.

[Female Reporter]:
How is Jack doing?

How is the family doing?

Jack, get away from the window.

Jack?

Wonderful.

So, the other thing
that we need to discuss

is some sort of media strategy.

[Grandma]: God, we're not ready
for talking like that, not yet,

So...

Okay, um...

There's gonna be
expenses moving forward

And a "Prime Time" interview,

just one "Prime Time" interview,

means a lot of money.

[Jack]: Ma, how long
are we going to be here for?

[Ma]: This is
where we live now, Jack.

[♪♪♪]

[Leo]: ...As much information
as I can give you.

I'm sure Nancy knows more.

I'll get her to call you
when she gets in.

- Thanks.
- Thanks again.

Okay, so...

What am I gonna do now?

I wonder if there's
anybody around that would...

play with me or talk to me.

I guess not.

I'm pretty hungry.

Oh, I know.

I got something
in the kitchen, I think.

Oh, yes,
I've got something very...

tasty in the kitchen, I think.

Let me see what's here.

[humming]

Hello.

I didn't know you were up.

[humming]

Pretty good, hmm?
Am I right?

I like this kind, too.

Kind of sweet,

but they're pretty good.

Do you really have a dog?

I do.

Named Seamus.

He's very small.

He's not very smart.

You should meet him sometime.

He'll shake your hand.

I had a dog once named Lucky.

- Mm?
- But he wasn't real.

Yeah?

He lived in Room.

Hmm.

[Dr. Mittal]: So we've got
some fluffy clouds in the sky.

Mm-hmm.

It looks like a nice day.

Which one of these
guys is you?

- That guy?
- Mm-hmm.

And who's this?

What is that?

It's a whale.

This guy
sees blood under the eyes,

so he wants to go diving...

I'm sorry.

...to help too.

No, it's okay.

No, don't worry about it.

Let her rest.

I'm almost done here.

Okay.

Well, I'm really looking forward

to seeing how
this masterpiece turns out.

Don't worry about it.

[Grandma]: I just...

I just couldn't
get her to come down.

[Dr. Mittal]:
Don't worry about it.

It's perfectly normal.

Yes, I understand.

It's gonna take time
for her to heal.

- She's been home, what, 10 days?
- Mm-hmm.

[Room door opening]

[Room alarm beeping]

[Room door closing]

Mm.

[Dora the Explorer]:
I need your help!

Will you check my backpack

for something we can use
to fix the wheel?

The same backpack has vanished...

Jack, can you go downstairs,
please?

[show continues]

Now.

- [Dora]: Great!
- Jack!

Come here.

Look! You have all these toys.

I don't want to.

Any kid would be so happy
to have these, and you...

you barely even touched them.

Try your Lego.

See these?

Put these together, like this.

You see how I'm doing it?

Try it.

[Ma]: Is it fun?

Jack?

Can you say something?

Jack!

He needs to play
with something real.

I'm worried about him
being on the phone.

He's doing fine.

Well, I don't give him my phone,

so I'd appreciate it
if you didn't give him yours.

Okay, I won't.

Great.

I just want him
to connect with something.

Joy.

Joy, he's really
doing fine.

I don't know
what's wrong with me.

I'm supposed to be happy.

You just need to rest, okay?

No, I don't.

I don't need to rest!

That's...
that's what the doctor...

That is not
what the doctor said.

You don't know
what he said,

because it was
a confidential conversation,

and you don't know
what he said.

All right, all right, all right!

You're impossible to talk to
right now.

Well, sorry.

- No. No, you're not sorry!
- Yeah, I'm not sorry!

You have no idea what's
going on in my head.

Yeah. Well, try me!

I have asked you.

And then what?

Then, every time you look at me,
that's all that you see?

When I look at you, Joy,
I will see my daughter.

You don't need me.

You've been doing just fine
without me.

Oh.

How can you say that, huh?

Do you think that

you were the only one
whose life was destroyed?

Actually, that's
exactly what I think.

Yeah? How would you feel

if somebody took
Jack away from you?

Oh, shut up!

Go easy.

[Grandma]:
Look at him!

You should be thinking
about him!

[Ma]: Oh, don't you tell me
how to look after my son.

I'm sorry
that I'm not nice anymore,

but you know what?

Maybe if your voice saying
"Be nice"

hadn't been in my head,

then maybe
I wouldn't have helped the guy

with the fucking sick dog!

Stay there, Jack.

[Ma]: I'm calling
the fucking lawyer.

I can't stay in this place.

Isabel, so, what are thinking
for the walk and talk?

And I want you to know that
you guide this interview, okay?

So, what you feel
comfortable with,

you talk about it,

and when you don't,

you just say, "not comfortable,"

and we move on
to another question.

Okay.

And I'm gonna...
you know?

My lawyer said...
said that it's nice...

You're good.

Thanks.

[A.D.]: And speed.

Did you ever think
you would see this house again?

- I hoped.
- You hoped?

[Ma]: Yes.

[interview continuing]

It's time
to go downstairs, Jack.

Remember what your mom said?

[Ma]: ...So many silly things.

Jokes with friends and...

Sure, absolutely.

- It can get hot, can't it?
- Oh, yeah. Yeah. The lights.

The lights, they get very warm.

Just let me get this
out of the way.

[Sports Reporter]:
...Two touchdowns were decisive

in that game against Michigan

and would've won in overtime
a couple of weeks ago.

...But I think they got
a false start...

Listening to you,

I'm sure you must have felt
at times as if...

God had deserted you.

In those very black moments...

Yeah.

...did you consider
taking your own life,

just to escape?

[Lawyer]: I'm getting
the feeling my client's very...

It's okay. I'm okay.

- Can you give her a minute?
- Sure.

I'm fine.
Can I just have a tissue?

Of course. Can we get
her a tissue, please?

- Here you go.
- Hard to talk about.

- I'm sure.
- Sorry.

[Reporter]:
You don't have to apologize.

Nobody's expecting you to be,

you know,
the pillar of strength.

You can cry.

You know, why don't we just
go on to the next question?

Would that be okay?

Do you want to put your tissue
maybe under your chair?

Oh, yeah.

There you go, huh?

There's snot in my nose.

- Let's see? Good.
- Okay.

So...

when Jack came along,

was it different for you then?

Um, when Jack came,

everything was different.

He was so beautiful, and...

I just knew that
I had to keep him safe.

Of course.

When he's older,

will you tell Jack
about his father?

Jack's not his.

He's not his...

So are you saying that
there were other men?

No!

No.

Um...

a father is...

a man who loves his child.

Of course.

That's so true

in a very real sense, but the...

...the biological relationship
that you...

That's not a relationship.

Jack is...
is nobody's but mine.

When he was born, did it...

did it ever occur to you

to ask your captor

to take Jack away?

Away?

[Reporter]:
Well, to take him to a hospital,

say, leave him there,
where he could found?

Why... why would I do that?

So Jack could be free.

Now, this is
the ultimate sacrifice...

and I understand that...

but did you think about him
having a normal childhood?

But he had me.

Of course he did.

But was that
the best thing for him?

[Ma coughing]

Ma? [knocks]

[Ma coughs]

Ma?

[Ma vomits]

[Ma vomits]

Ma!

- Ma! Ma!
- [Grandma]: What, what, Jack?

- Ma!
- What? What is it?

- Ma!
- Jack!

[Grandma]: Joy!

- Come here, Jack. Come here.
- Ma!

Come here, come here, come here.

[Leo]: Come on, Joy. Wake up.

- Ma! Ma!
- I'll call 911!

[♪♪♪]

[police radio chatter]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[phone rings]

[Leo]: Hello? Hi.

How's she doing?

I don't know.
He's upstairs.

Jack?

Come on.

Phone's for you.

Here, here.
Here you go.

- Say, "Hello".
- Hello.

[Ma]:
Jack? Jack?

Are you there?

Ma?

How are you doing?

Come back.

I-I can't just yet.

Come back now!

I'll be there soon.

I just have to be here
just a little while longer.

I pick!
I pick for both of us.

I... I'm coming back soon!
Jack. Jack?

Hello? Leo?

[♪♪♪]

[Jack]: There's so much
of place in the world.

There's less time,

because the time
has to be spread extra thin

over all the places,

like butter.

So all the persons say,

"Hurry up. Let's get going.
Pick up the pace.

Finish up now."

Ma was in a hurry
to go boing up to heaven,

but she forgot me,
Dumbo Ma.

So the aliens
threw her back down,

crash!

And broke her.

[♪♪♪]

[car approaching]

[Grandma]: Okay.

You good?

Can you help me carry
a bag of groceries?

Yep.

- Is that okay?
- Yep.

Okay, cool.

Thank you.
It's light.

All right.

[Woman]: Been shopping?

Yes, we have.

We're making cupcakes.

Oh, yum!

[chuckles]

- Have a good day.
- See you.

Okay. Come on.

[Grandma]: Hmm.

You're really good at that.

I did it before,
in Room.

Hmm, you did? Wow.

What else did you do there?

Lots of stuff.

Sometimes, I miss it.

Wasn't it awfully small?

Mm-mm.

It went every direction,

all the way to the end.

It never finished.

And Ma was always there.

Yeah.

But it was small
in wardrobe.

Hmm?

What did you do in wardrobe?

Sleep.

When Old Nick came.

I want to see Ma.

Yeah, I know.

She's, um...

she just needs to be on her own
for a little while.

[door opens]

[Leo]: Jack?

Someone here
would like to meet you.

Jack. Here, let me
get this for you.

Come on.
Let's go see.

Jack...

Meet Seamus.

Would you like to pet him?

Yeah.

[Leo]:
There he goes, shaking again.

It makes him feel good.

[Jack]:
Makes him... feel good?

[Leo]:
Yeah, makes him feel good.

You should try that.

Well, he's moving.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

Grandma?

Yes.

I need the scissors.

What for?

For cutting my hair.

Do you really want to do that?

I want to send it to Ma.

How come?

She needs my strong
more than me,

so I want to send it to her,

or you could take it to her?

I could help you, if you'd like?

Yes, please.

Okay. Okay.

Let's do this right.

I have been wanting
to cut that hair...

for a very long time.

Come on.

I used to cut
your mother's hair all the time,

and your Grandpa's.

I hope I've still got it.

Do you think this will work?

Can my strong
be her strong, too?

Oh. Of course it can.

We all help each other
stay strong.

No one is strong alone.

You know, you and your mom,

you help each other through,
don't you?

- Yep.
- Mm-hmm.

And you and me,
you and Leo,

Leo and me.

We all have the same strong.

- I guess we do.
- Okay.

All righty.

Are you ready?

Steady...

Here. See?

See?

What do you think?

Wow!

Ooh! Oh, yeah.

You can't get
soap in my eye.

No, there's a towel right there
if you need it.

Here we go.

- And my mouth.
- Your mouth, too.

This is the best part. Oh!

- Mm.
- Doesn't it feel good?

- Yeah.
- Oh, good.

Oh, let's see.

There.

I love you, Grandma.

I love you, too, Jack.

[banging]

[Jack]: Keeps on happening.

[Ma knocks on the window]

I'm sorry, Jack.

It's okay.

Don't do it again.

I promise.

Are you better now?

Yeah, I'm starting to be.

Hey, Jack.

Yeah?

When Grandma
brought this to me...

I knew that I could get better.

You saved me...

again.

Can I...

No.

There's no more left, sorry.

Okay.

I'm not a good enough Ma.

But you're Ma.

I am.

I am.

I'm going to play with Aran now.

He's my friend.

Okay.

[Jack]:
When I was four,

I didn't even know
about the world,

and now me and Ma
are going to live in it

forever and ever
until we're dead.

This is a street

in a city

in a country called America,

and Earth,

that's a blue and green planet,
always spinning,

so I don't know
why we don't fall off.

Then, there's Outer Space.

And nobody knows where's heaven.

[all screaming, playing along]

[Ma]: Pull yourself out!

[♪♪♪]

Ma and I have decided

that because we don't know
what we like,

we get to try everything.

There are so many things
out here.

And sometimes, it's scary,

but that's okay,

because it's still
just you and me.

Can we go back to Room?

Jack...

Just for a visit.

Watch your step.

Is this Room?

Yeah.

Has it gotten shrinked?

Where is everything?

Taken for evidence.

Proof that we were here.

It's because Door's open.

What?

It can't really be Room
if Door's open.

Do you want me to close it?

Nah.

Jack, can we go?

Bye, Plant.

Bye, Chair number one.

Bye, Chair number two.

Bye, Table.

Bye, wardrobe.

Bye, sink.

Bye-bye, Skylight.

Ma, say bye-bye to Room.
