Before I Wake Page #3
We like to ask your son
a few questions
about an incident that
took place at school.
Cody, come here.
- Okay, screw.
- Screw.
- Phillips.
- Phillips.
Just be sure you cough or something
when you get downstairs, okay?
Hey, there he is.
- You look better.
- I feel a little better.
- Good.
- So, the police came by today.
- What they want?
- Well...
I feel a lot better.
Do you want to see
my race car bed?
- Race car bed?
- I was getting to that.
still hasn't shown back up.
So, why they came here?
Well, I guess they have to
rule out abduction.
I guess Cody saw the kid leave.
How did Sean die?
What?
I just wondered.
Hey, buddy.
Why not you go set the table?
Okay?
We'll be in in minute.
Nice.
Like Tik Tak Tok game.
I'm playing it always.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- What do you think?
- That is orange.
Weren't you glad
we didn't go with fuchsia?
- What's this?
- Here you go.
Alright.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Using fork?
This is very civilized.
- Today was fun.
- Today was my favorite day so far.
Yeah? Mine, too.
Hey, listen...
About the question that
you asked me...
...earlier.
Sean drowned.
It was an accident.
And then, we found out
we couldn't have more kids, so...
No, no. It's...
You have the right to know.
It's just important to you also
to know that...
nothing like that is
going to happen to you.
You okay?
I don't think I am.
You're a great mom.
That kid up there...
You need a kid.
It's a perfect match.
We don't need anything else.
I know that you think you do.
And god knows there's a big
part of me it feels the same.
But we don't.
Come to bed.
Come to bed.
Okay.
Yes, love.
Sean?
Cody, Cody.
Wake up, wake up.
- Wake up, hunny. Wake up!
- Mark.
Won't wake up.
He won't, for a while.
- What did you do?
- He's...
Cody!
Cody, Cody! Wake up!
Come on, wake up.
Get out of here!
She won't wake up.
She won't wake up.
Here.
She's awake. She's awake.
I like to take your formal
statement, Mrs Hobsen
and then, refer you to someone
in social services.
- Social services?
- Why did you drug the child?
I...
gave him a sleeping pill.
His doctor prescribed it.
You know the whereabouts
of your husband
day before last
around lunch time?
Where you taking him?
We have any reason
to be near of your son's school?
- No, no, no, no, no.
- Ma'am, Ma'am.
I'm sorry.
Ma'am, we have to remove
the child from the house.
- No, please.
- Ma'am, please.
You can't take him away.
Natalie.
You haven't returned
my phone calls.
I was at the police station, all night.
Where is he?
It's not your business any more.
Where's your husband?
I don't know.
That's why I have to talk with Cody.
That's not going to happen.
I need to find out more
about him.
About his dreams.
You've heard this before.
groups in here,
and a few therapists who
specialize in domestic violence.
I want you to reach out,
get some help for your situation.
And I never want to see you again.
Yeah, I'm so able
to take care of it.
- Great. Thanks.
- Yeah.
- Hi, can I help you?
- I'm here to see Whelan Young.
Whelan, you have a visitor.
Thank you.
What can I do for you?
I'm here to talk about Cody Morgan.
It says here that you
and your wife Katharina
fostered Cody for 15 months
before he was gaven to
Peter and Doris Clemens.
Wouldn't know about them.
They disappeared a year ago.
Much like your wife.
What are we talking
about here, Miss?
We're talking about
what happens when he dreams.
I've seen it, too.
You have now?
I watched it take my husband.
I wouldn't say that around here.
They fit you for slippers.
If you don't know
what I'm talking about,
- then I'm wasting importent time.
- Hey, wait.
I'm sorry.
You know, I hear "you're crazy"
for so long
before you start to believe it.
Please.
That little boy's dreams
come true.
Real and true.
It's an amazing, beautiful thing.
But so to his nightmares...
They're...
Dangerous.
Deadly.
Can I get him back?
My husband?
I don't know.
Wherever that thing comes from,
it takes them with it.
If they exist at all,
it's only in Cody's mind
How do you know that?
Katie and I fostered
two kids before Cody.
His mother died, no other family.
He was sweet, independent.
An artist, I thought.
Started with the butterflies.
That went on for a few weeks.
We though it was magical.
And then, Katie got sick.
had a bad flu.
And it seemed to really upset Cody.
And then...
No!
I'm sorry.
But wasn't Katie.
It was jus his impression of her.
That was all what was left.
He was too young.
He was too young...
to even remember her right.
And I hated him for that.
I know I shouldn't have,
but god help me I hated him for that.
But I couldn't do it.
I couldn't do it.
If I had, you're husband
would be alive.
That another family would be alive.
Maybe you can...
succeed where I failed.
No.
No.
It's the only way.
Thank you for your time.
And I'm sorry for your loss,
as well.
You really want to bet your life
to an eighteen year old boy
won't have another nightmare?
- It's not his fault.
- It'd be a mercy.
Someone has to do it.
Do you know anything
about his birth mother?
There's nothing in the file.
Only that she died.
I assume the way my wife did.
The way your husband did.
What you hoping to find?
Dr. Tennant told me not to come back
without the patient file.
He's try to call.
Do you have the PID?
I don't, all I have is
a last name and a date.
Night nurse said he didn't
sleep last night.
That's two nights in a row, then.
That we know of.
Policy says that we can't
let him go this long.
I'd like to stay here with him
tonight if that's okay.
You signed for the file,
you can take it.
on the intake.
How long you keep those?
If nobody claim them, there's a chance
they're still down there.
No! No!
- Cody, its for your own good.
- Honey, it's alright.
I don't want to hurt anymore.
It'll take a second.
Good job, son.
It's okay.
A case of mine was transferred,
and I need the name of
the facility for the report.
Natalie Friedman.
F-R-I-E-D-M-A-N.
Provider number, 11714.
Cody Morgan.
Where is he?
Mommy.
Cody?
It keeps them safe.
Until they grown up.
let them go.
Wait!
I'm taking him home.
This is for you.
It's your mother's journal.
Your mother's name was
Andrea Morgan.
And I can tell by reading this,
She loved you very, very much.
When you were a baby,
she noticed you're a special.
It was just the two of you
against the world.
and about your gift.
And how much she loved
watching you grow.
I don't think she's stopped
writing because she didn't want to.
I think it's because...
She got sick.
Which just happen sometimes.
These are some of your
mother's test results.
Do you see that word there?
Canker.
Not quite.
