It brings your fears to life.

It's like...

I don't know? For Lucas it's the clowns,

And with you is what happened to

Annie and the cop.

What about you?

Oh I... I told you guys I'm not afraid of anything.

But, I mean c'mon! He dies anyway right?

Nope!

But I still don't want to stay here tonight.

You guys can stay at my place.

My parents don't mind.

Yes!

Let me get my stuff okay?

Creepy Carl was always talking about the darkness.

Maybe it came and got him?

Why do you have these drawings all over the floor?

It's a kind of puzzle.

I thought this would like... show me more!

But, I can't figure it out.

Cause this... I thought right there. But then...

I don't know.

What about down here?

Yeah! yeah, that works.

Like... like that I think?

I'll try.

Oh... oh yeah yeah.

Right...

It looks like a...

very large man dragging a boy...

Lucas!

Lucas!

Lucas!

What's the matter? Where's Lucas?

My father's got him.

What?

Lucas!

Dane? What's going on?

It's all my fault.

He took Lucas down there.

I have to go get him.

What?

There is no down there!

There's no bottom. Remember?

Well! There's something.

I thought you said you didn't have a father?

I don't! I've got some jerk locked up in the Jersey Prison.

Because he likes to get drunk every nite.

and beat the crap outta us.

He's been in there since Lucas was little, so ...

All we know is that everytime we

get a letter from prison then...

it means we're moving again. Cos he found us.

I don't understand... He's in jail then

how can he be here?

Guess we know now,

what I'm afraid of, don't we?

Dane!

Dane!

Dane!

Lucas!

Dane! He's right behind you!

He's right behind you!

some jerk locked up in the Jersey Prison.

Not every man is like your father.

I've got some jerk locked up...

The boy is asking for it.

I know it's just... his father was not a nice guy.

We got married too young... he's in jail how can he be here...

Been in there since Lucas was small, so...

His father was not a good man...

Cause he likes to get drunk...

Lucas...

Lucas...

How did you know I was in here?

That's where I used to hide when I get scared.

Thought you said you weren't scared of anything.

I lied.

In the end... You shouldn't have come.

Why?

Because that's what he wanted.

Said he only took me to get you down here.

Where are you, kids?

I think Creepy Carl was right.

It is gonna kill us.

- Look at me.

There's no way I'm gonna let that happen, okay?

Okay...

You been asking for it!

I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!

Leave us alone!

Dane.

Go! Climb!

- What are you doing?

Go as highest as you can!

What?

- Go!

Welcome home, boy.

I knew I'd find you hiding in the same closet.

Just like back when you let your

brother take the beating for you.

That's not true.

Remember his arm?

You can hear it crack from inside there.

I didn't know what you were gonna do?

I didn't think you would hurt him?

Sure, you did.

You're just scared!

I'm not scared of you.

You'd be here if that was true.

You're gonna be afraid your whole life.

Not anymore...

You can't hurt me.

Tell me boy. Did that hurt?

I know that you're not that big.

You just looked like it cause I was little.

That's why you came after us.

it's because you're mean.

You're just scared. You scared of everyone else.

Weren't you?

Do I look scared to you?

Do I?

Your fears are falling away, boy.

What happens to you when they're gone?

Let's find out.

There you go.

Like father, like son.

I am nothing like you.

Dane!

Nice climbing, buddy.

Thanks.

You okay?

Oh! He's gone now. Don't have to worry about it.

Yeah... cool!

Oh! Who's gone?

Nobody! Just screwing around.

Yeah?

What is this?

Oh! It's just a hole.

Just a hole?

- No! Wait!

What is this?

It a...

Just crawlspace you know.

That ought to...

keep the little kids out.

Yeah! Just keep that closed. It's not very safe.

Alright! Hey you! What are you

guys gonna do now? Huh?

Well... You know... We're playing a little

midnight basketball.

but I think Lucas is too scared of the

whoopdown I'm gonna give em.

Oh! That sounds like a challenge to me!

Yeah...! Zip it!

- Alright!

Why not make it two on two there huh?

You, me and boys against girls!

Definitely!

- Alright! C'mon! Let's do this thing!

Mom! Do you have any fears?

Like scariest thing you can think of...

Like dinosaurs, spiders or an alien egg?

Well, those are pretty scary but em...
