Are you Peter's mom?

Yes.

I'm sorry for showing up like this uninvited.

Substitute.

Of course he did mention that he had a substitute,

never known one to make house calls.

Yeah, I just wanted to come over and and check on him personally.

I was a teacher myself.

And just before I became a mother.

Is he all right?

Peter, yes.

Umm.

I I did want to.

Show you something.

What's this The children were drawing for Halloween?

Peter painted this.

Yes, yes, the other children drew monsters and witches.

But Peter?

I see.

Well, this is embarrassing.

You see, Peter has an overactive imagination.

He still wakes his father and I up in the middle of the night

with all of his little.

Flights of fancy Which?

Which is all this pictures.

I do appreciate your concern though.

What is this?

Drawing.

A drawing of what?

This is your room, Peter.

Why are you asking for help?

Why are you asking?

Strangers for help, Peter, I'm not.

Jeez, that was that.

It's just a scary drawing.

That imagination of yours, Peter?

It's going to get you into trouble one day.

I got the.

Yeah.

Don't be scared.

Just wanna talk.

Please be quiet.

I'm imagining you.

You're not real.

How to How to die?

But it seems to me like you could use a friend.

I know I could.

But if you don't want one.

I just believe.

Wait, don't go.

I'm sorry.

Please stay.

Actually, you are.

Yes, we can talk.

Peter, this is great.

What's his name?

Hector.

Of course.

He looks like an actor,

this one.

Stop.

Crazy.

Are you there?

Are you OK?

Why are you crying?

Someone.

Brian.

He shows me down every day.

I was afraid of something like that.

But I don't see him.

I like your strong enough to stand up for yourself.

If you just try.

Last year.

I'm sorry, Peter.

That was very nice of Brian, wasn't it Peter?

Show him you're not afraid anymore.

Make him afraid of you.

You have to push back.

Hi.

Expelled.

You have anything to say to yourself, Peter?

Peter.

I mean from the fall down the stairs.

For God's sakes, we are not a family

that solves our problems with violence, Peter.

Ever.

I don't understand where where this kind of behaviour comes from.

Picture for school.

What?

I'm sorry, I know that I should have told you earlier,

but what kind of picture?

What kind of picture?

A child.

A child asking for help.

What?

Jump to conclusions telling you this now.

You're about to go stop.

Peter, why would you draw a picture like that?

Peter, I really hurt her.

No, you did not.

No.

You're grounded.

OK, Peter, go to your room.

No, no, no, Carol, he's grounded.

He's going in the basement.

Now.

Stand up.

I said stand up.

Get up.

Go.

Let's see.

We're doing this because we love you.

Because we love.

Hello.

Are you there?

Please talk to me.

God damn it.

You went to a student's house.

I did.

I wanted to make sure that Peter was.

OK.

Is he showing up with bruises?

No, not that I can see.

Doesn't wet himself.

Is he talking about sex or other things?

A boy his age shouldn't know about it.

And unfortunately, there's nothing we can do.

There are a lot of Peters.

Delicate little kids here.

Want to protect from life's cruelties?

But you can't.

Get personally invested.

You'll be eating alive.

You've met his parents, his mother.

There's something.

Off about her.

As a child that disappeared from their neighbourhood years ago.

Something like that.

Would make any parent overprotective.

Yeah.

Hello.

Hi.

I have Peter's last math quiz.

I should have it.

He only missed 2.

Thank you for coming.

Hi.

Hello.

Honey, this is.

Mr Vine.

Peter's former teacher.

Nice to meet you.

She was just coming by to drop off this last Methodist.

That's wonderful.

We can hang it on the fridge.

Please.

Come in.

It is my coffee.

How was it?

Thanks.

There you go.

You're bleeding.

I'm just doing some remodelling.

Close Mail.

Don't worry about it.

Well, since I'm here,

I just want to express how sorry I am about what happened.

Very very sweet of you.

But honestly, no apology necessary.

Peter is a spirited boy.

Do you have any idea where Peter will be going to school?

Of course we do.

Here at home.

Carol's the best.

Well, you don't think that's a good idea?

I just think that.

Given his behaviour, he might benefit from an environment.

More suited toward his needs.

No, we're not going to give our son away.

No, no, no, We're not family.

What he needs.

Yeah.

Where is he?

He's grounded.

In his room.

May I see him?

No, you may not.

I don't think it's appropriate.

I would just like to say goodbye.

What?

What is your interest in Arsenal?

You're no longer his teacher, so I I don't.

It's very strange to me that you continue to show up at her house.

I just wanted to make sure he was all right.

I'm sorry that he was all right.

Do you think that I'm the kind of money that would harm my child I love?

Peter.

You don't know anything about hey, hey no before.

Mother gives up on her child.

Give this woman.

You don't know anything.

You're upset.

You know,

Peter, the Doctor said.

He recalled.

I could.

You never give up on him.

I've never give him away.

Institute.

You better.

I'm sorry.

What is that?

What

the noise?

The banging.

Washing machine.

Please.

Got your keys mystified?

Thanks.

You can come out now.

Pumpkin.

For our pumpkin.

Well, Peter.

Have you had time to think?

About what?

Ohh.

I want you to grow up.

Stop everything.

Help.

Stop telling lies.

And no more nightmares.

No.

We're very proud of you, Peter.

Things are going to be different from now on.

They won't be going back to school any longer.

I'm going to be your teacher now.

Your mom here.

Just going to teach you the three hours.

You know what they are?

Reading, writing, and arithmetic.

OK.

I'm sorry.

You're a good boy, Peter.

Love you.

And we forgive you.

Love you too.

Goodnight, Peter.

See you in the morning, son.

Goodnight.

Please talk to me.

Sorry about you.

My mom and dad locked me in the basement.

You have to be careful with them.

They are not what they seem.

I want to see you no.

I've been here too long.

You wouldn't like the looks at me.

Scream and get his God.

No, I won't.

I promise.

OK,

there's a whole.

Behind the wallpaper.

Dancing.

Who are you?

I've been playing here.

Wait till you were picking up.

Big enough for what?

Big enough to move the clocks that hides the door.

They cannot tell me.

Escape.

Don't leave the dark,

don't leave the wall.

Scaring me.

My dad,

Peter.

Now you know.

Your time is coming.

Hello.

Mom.

Hello.

Mark.

Mom.

Peter.

Look what you've done to your mother, Peter.

Ohh, you're screaming Threshold.

It's OK.

What was it around?

I don't remember.

Hello.

It can't hurt you now.

If they keep you in their room.

How are you talking to me?

Escaped.

I scratched and clawed my way to you.

Mom and Dad, they hate me, Peter.

They had enough for me.

I'm good.

Don't kill me.

Wow.

They wouldn't do that.

They won't kill anybody.

Peter.

Gloria.

Need to see what's buried in the garden?

Tell you where.

Here.

Peter.

What are you doing?

I was thinking that.

I know I can't go trick or treating.

But.

Maybe we could carve a pumpkin.

It was Halloween.

Before they locked me in the wall.

Thank you for your game to the door.

I asked her for help.

And she saw me.

He killed her beard.

I don't want to end up like that girl.

Getting you out of there.

Look you out of there now.

We're going to run away.

Your family.

Real 1.

Wow.

I think they know somebody that can help.

Hello.

Mr Mine.

Peter.

Keep your help.

What did you say?

Need your help.

Hello.

Hi, is this Peter's mom?

It is.

It's this Mr Vine.

I think Peter just tried to call me.

He did indeed.

Peter was just telling me how dearly he misses his teacher.

Unfortunately, his shy streak seems to have gotten

the best of him.

He's like a little blushing bride over here.

Wow.

Better off next time, I suppose.

So sorry to have bothered you.

Have a happy Halloween.

That was bad, Peter.

I'm sorry.

Very bad thing.

You called stranger.

She doesn't know what's best for you.

She doesn't love you the way your father and I do.

I am so disappointed in you.

What is that?

It's nothing.

Young.

No.

Well, why didn't you tell me?

What have you got you?

It doesn't matter whatever.

No, it'll be your fault.

Wait till you father gets home.

Yeah.

Peter.

I heard them.

They know.

They are going to kill us.

Peter.

You have to do something.

Here.

We can't keep planning temporary.

I know you're awake, son.

You get a good night's sleep.

When I get home tomorrow, you'll help me out in the garden.

There's a problem we need to take care of.

It's Black Rod.

Killing off the whole garden.

Blythe like this.

Spreads fast.

Get rid of it now.

Or all the healthy pumpkins will get infected.

We can't have that.

We're going to bury the pumpkins.

And we're going to hope that the next crop is better.

Better luck next time.

You understand?

I want you to pick up this trouble.

Dick.

Because it's the house.

Yeah.

Wicked.

Family fucking piece.
