Garloo the mighty.

Garloo the untamed.

Garloo the terrible!

Who can stop him? Who can control

this monstrous creature?

You can...

Excuse me.

Hello, it's me.

I told you I'd call again.

Well, of course it's late.

We're night people.

All right, suit yourself.

Yeah, good night then.

Hey, are you coming over or not?

Kidding me?

Millions of miles away.

It was up to us.

Is that you, dear?

Mama?

Mama?

Shh. Mama needs her rest.

Baby sister's

been kicking her all night.

I want to sleep in mama's bed.

You've got your own room now

with your own big boy bed.

- What are you doing?

- What is that?

Aaah.

That's the apple Eve gave to Adam.

I can't swallow it.

- Why?

- Women.

You can't trust 'em.

Why?

Because they always going

around changin' things.

Whose idea do you think it was

moving here?

Mama? Yeah, that's right.

It was mama.

There we go.

- I want to sleep in mama's bed.

- Oh.

Okay, here's what

we're gonna do.

You're gonna have to

clean up these toys.

You wake up in the morning,

you're gonna pick these toys up.

Oh, man,

these people lived here?

Oh. Typical.

They got to be

kidding me, champ.

Look there. Good.

All good. All good.

Yeah. All right.

Look at the champ.

Champ is watching over you. Keep looking.

Keep watching.

Keep watching him looking over you.

Champ is watching over you.

See, now god doesn't have time for

everyone's prayers, but the champ?

Pray to the champ,

and the champ will listen.

Okay?

Just keep watching him.

Keep watching.

Keep watching.

Okay? Hmm?

Just keep your eyes on the champ.

Sleep tight.

Where you get

those cookies from?

Earlier.

Why you not comin' back to bed?

They said I'd get fined

if I parked at the bus stop.

Guess the rules don't apply to them.

Come on.

I was barely touching

the yellow line.

This guy is right in front

of the bus stop.

Maybe they got other rules

when it's after midnight.

Or maybe they make up rules as they

go along, if you know what I mean.

What was that?

You hear it?

There's always a train.

You weren't there. That old Jew tried

to put me down in front of my own son.

Let it go, baby.

You're not listening to me.

They're laughing at us.

How they laughing?

But I still have

a smile on my face.

I'm just a...

Boring, plain...

What?

Middle-class negro...

Oh, my god.

Being a good-natured boy

in the presence of a white man.

Uh. Uh.

- See? See? See?

- Oh, stop it.

I should've listened to my daddy

when he said, "move back home."

You're so... stop it!

Look, they can see us.

What?

I heard noises.

There are always noises.

This was

a different kind of noise.

The Negroes are up.

Mmm.

It came from outside.

It's those Mowbray boys again.

Let the Mowbray handle their own.

Don't let them get to you.

Any of ours?

No, not this time around.

Well, I can't sleep.

I'm-I'm gonna go make the cake.

Is it your stomach?

We have... Th-there are

tums on the top shelf.

Are-are you coming to bed?

It's late.

Uh, will you come to bed?

Sure.

Anything else?

Billy is still awake.

- He has one strike left.

- I'll have a talk with him.

I can't find

the ones with Hannah.

I threw them out.

How could you do that?

I wanted to set it up

for Debbie's birthday.

Do you remember when we

gave Hannah that Dollhouse?

That was a good time.

Life has a funny way

of working things out

if we just let it take its time.

Yeah.

There's a man

chasing a woman outside.

Keep your voice down.

The house is asleep.

Yeah, but look.

I'm not telling a lie.

Gonzales is up.

He'll take care of it.

Just come, please.

Right outside. Look!

Stop it. Stop it.

You want to help? Shine the

light while I fix the faucet.

Debbie, honey,

what are you doing?

- She's come for me.

- Who? Who's coming?

Mommy.

She's coming for me.

No, no, no, honey,

that was a dream.

Go back to bed

and I'll sit with you.

I swear I saw her.

No, honey, let's go.

The guy's on the street. He's...

Debbie, Debbie, calm down.

I swear I saw her.

It's true.

No, no, it... she's out there!

She needs me!

No, it was a bad dream.

I... why does nobody

ever believe me?

I saw her. It's true!

You have to stop it!

Stop it!

Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy!

Stop it!

You're crazy. You're crazy like her!

Mommy!

2,660. Sixty, sixty-one.

Mommy!

Let me out! Mommy!

Mommy!

- Mommy!

- Ow! Mmm.

Help!

Now I lay me down to sleep.

I pray to champ my soul to keep.

If I should die before I wake,

I pray the champ

my soul to take.

Champ, bless my family

and my neighbors.

Amen.

499, 4,500, 4,501.

Debbie, if you don't

calm down immediately,

there will be

no birthday party tomorrow.

She's upset enough as it is.

That is not helping.

I don't know how to talk to her

when she's like this.

- Honey,

it's just me. Nana is gone.

Tsk.

Tomorrow will be better.

I promise.

All your friends will be there.

And you're right.

Mommy is coming.

So, sleep now.

And when you wake up, it's

tomorrow, and mommy will be there.

Ten, 11,

12, 13, 14,

15, 16, 17, 18,

19, 20, 21, 22, 23...

516, 517...

519, 520, 521...

Thirty-three, 34...

We shouldn't watch. If we

can see it, so can they.

It must look worse than it is.

I'm coming in.

4,502, 4,503, 4,504,

4,505...

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have pushed you.

4,564, 4,565...

It's okay. Come here.

Ow!

Troy?

No!

She's crying!

It's all right, champ.

It's a drunken fight.

Shine over here...

Lower.

You can't go out there

looking like that.

See, baby?

There's nobody out there.

Eight, nine.

There's somebody out there.

This can't be normal,

not for this building.

Define "normal."

Hello?

Be quiet.

- Hello?

- Champ!

Debbie?

It's okay.

I'll let you lick the spoon.

I'm making mommy's favorite.

Chocolate cake with cherries.

She acts

more like Hannah every day.

She'll come back inside

when she's ready.

Ninety-three,

94, 95, 96, 97, 98...

Simon says,

"go back to bed."

We have more reason to be

scared of them than them of us.

If I treat them as they treat us,

I'd be in jail. I'd be dead by now.

This is Bob Cunningham. I'd like

to speak to the police, please.

One moment, sir.

Do you want me to put you on hold, sir?

Yes, thank you, miss.

I can't hear anything.

How many steps

did she have left?

I don't know.

Enough to get back home?

I don't know.

Hold on. Don't do...

Shh.

Oh.

She's not there.

She's always there.

This is why I don't like the games

you and Debbie are always playing.

You've created this dream world,

and she is trapped.

You cannot even say her name.

Saying the name

doesn't change anything.

Debbie wouldn't hurt herself.

I can see the street

from the kitchen.

If she goes outside, I'll go get her.

All right.

You want to sleep

with mommy tonight?

Come here. Isn't it bad

to let her suffer, mama?

Yes, baby, when people suffer,

we-we call the police.

Whoa.

Uh, the police

are here to protect us.

Must be a nice world

you're living in,

with streets made of gold and a money
