K, calm down.

I'll drive her into town and

then find a hospital there.

Jeez.

- I stay back and wait for Zoe.

- Okay, okay, good idea.

Baby, how did you cut yourself?

- Apparently she was

playing in the utensils box,

and got into the knives.

- What?

Hey, what have we told you

about playing with sharp things?

Huh?

- I didn't want to.

Daddy, it hurts.

- Okay, don't worry.

Okay, come on, let's go.

- Hello.

Hello.

Stupid piece of sh*t phone

doesn't get service anywhere.

Hello.

Who is this?

- Zoe.

- Who's there?

- Zoe.

- Zoe.

- Our movers are here.

- Yeah, sure looks like it.

Hey, make sure you

finish those candies

before your Mom sees.

She's gonna skim me alive

for letting you eat

that before dinner.

- I promise I'll eat

all my food, Daddy.

- Oh yeah?

We're havin' broccoli tonight.

- Broccoli?

Yucky.

- That's okay.

You've had a rough day.

- Thanks Daddy.

- So, we have some good news.

The doctor said

Alyssa really didn't

cut too deeply.

There's no damage to any

of the major blood vessels,

but she does have some stitches.

Most of it was superficial.

You're smoking again.

I thought you quit months ago.

- I did.

- So, so why now?

Is something else wrong?

Yikes.

- Our daughter drew those.

- Alyssa drew these?

- Yeah.

- Look, kids drew weird

stuff all time, okay.

It's nothing to get

bent out of shape about.

But yeah, we probably

should talk to her

before school starts back.

Don't really want

the teachers to think

we're raising the next

Jeffrey Dahmer here.

- This is no time to be joking.

- This is our daughter, okay?

I'm not joking about this.

- Don't you find any of this

just a little bit weird?

- No, not particularly.

What, should I?

- Look, this one

is of you, me and Zoe.

The other night

when she was sick.

And it shows her

vomiting up black.

Do you know what I found

when I went to

clean her room, huh?

- No, I don't.

- A pile of black goo.

It was filled with

worms and bugs.

- Well, it's probably

something that she ate.

Like, yeah, maybe I

should have taken her

to see the doctor too.

- What about the bugs?

- Maybe they crawled up

from somewhere in this house.

I don't know, okay.

What do you want from me?

- How could Alyssa

have known any of it?

She wasn't there,

she was downstairs.

And we didn't tell

her any of it,

because we didn't

wanna upset her.

- Okay, well, it sounds to me

like somebody needs to take

just a little siesta here.

- Stop patronizing me.

Don't you dare.

Something is wrong here.

- Okay, what exactly

is wrong here then?

- Okay, this one.

Do you know when it was done?

- No, I don't.

- Alyssa didn't cut

herself by accident.

She did it on purpose.

I saw her.

This shows what happened

before it even occurred.

- I'm really not hearing this.

- You have got to hear this.

It is all true.

- It's all bullshit, okay.

Everything that's coming

out of your mouth right now

is bullshit.

- It's not bullshit!

It's all true, and

that's not all.

- Okay, what, so what else

is wrong here then, huh?

- Zoe was chased in the woods

this afternoon on her walk.

- What?

Who, who did it?

By who?

Who was it?

- I don't know, she

didn't seem them.

But it was someone

that must have known

because they kept

saying her name

like they were threatening her.

- F***!

- Watch your language.

- I don't care, okay.

Somebody was harassing

our daughter,

and I wanna know who is was

so I can wring their neck.

- Something's wrong

with this place.

It's possessed or

haunted or something.

- Are you serious?

Haunted?

Possessed?

Do you even hear

yourself right now?

- You can joke all you like.

Laugh all you like.

But we're outta here.

- What was that?

Okay, you're gonna have

to repeat yourself,

'cause I really don't

think I heard you right.

- I wanna take the girls

and leave this place.

You can come if you like,

but we're out of here.

- Do you have any

idea how much money

I just spent on this place?

We just got here

for Christ's sake,

now you're talking about

leaving it all behind.

You must be out of your mind.

- I thought you might say that.

Well, the girls

and I are leaving.

You can do whatever you like.

- You wanna act like a

spoiled little brat and leave?

Fine, go.

But the girls are staying

here, and that's final.

- You can't bully me.

We're going.

- Yeah, like hell you are.

- Daddy!

- Jesus.

- Carol.

Honey, are you awake?

Carol.

You're awake.

- I've been awake for a while.

- So why don't you

answer me then?

Are you angry with me?

You hardly said two

words at dinner tonight.

- No.

Not angry, I've just been

thinking about some stuff.

- What's wrong?

I mean, we're still

friends aren't we?

You can talk to me.

- Of course we're still friends.

Don't be silly.

- So what's wrong?

- It's just...

Been bothering me.

All this stuff that's been

happening around the house.

And how quick you are

to dismiss that all.

You and the girls must

think I'm a total nut case.

- None of us think that, okay.

We just believe that

you've been stressed,

and that's leading

to your anxieties

getting the better of you.

- That's just a

nice way of saying

that you think I'm crazy.

- You're as mad as a hatter.

- I knew it.

- I mean, I always

thought you were insane.

- I'd have to be to be married

to you, Benjamin Harrison.

- That's true.

However, there are crazier

things in this world.

- Such as?

- Such as me marrying you.

- Stop it.

- How'd that get up here?

- What?

- The rocking chair.

I saw it down in the

basement earlier.

It's how I got this

knot on my head.

It was right near the boiler.

Did you bring it up here?

- I just assumed you did.

- No, I didn't.

- Stop looking at the old chair,

and start paying attention

to your old lady.

What the hell's wrong with you?

You almost gave me a black eye.

- Carol, there was somebody

in the room with us.

- There is nobody

in here with us,

are you out of

your goddamn mind.

- I saw her.

It, she was on top of me.

- She?

Oh, so you're thinking

about another woman

when you're supposed

to be making love...

- I know, Jesus

Christ, no, okay.

I saw her with my own eyes.

She was on top of ya.

- There is nobody

in here but us.

You know what, I've had it.

You're sleeping on

the couch tonight.

You're the one

who makes me think

that I'm the crazy one, huh?

I think that bump on your head

made you scramble your brain.

- Carol, okay, I wasn't

hallucinating, okay.

I wasn't thinking

over another woman.

I saw her, she was on top of me.

- Get the f*** out of here!

- You know what?

Fine.

- Do you wanna have

some breakfast?

- Not hungry.

Okay.

I have a lot to do today.

You could maybe help me out.

Take your mind off

some of the things

that are bothering you.

There's trees to trim,

there's yard trash

to be taken out,

sweeping, you can fold

up some of those boxes.

- I have some unpacking to do.

- Just do something
