Boogeyman Page #2

Tim, the place is a mess. I've been

doing a whole lot of work there--

I won't mess anything up.

Is that Katie?

Yeah.

How long has it been?

-A long time.

-You should go and say hi.

No, I don't think so.

All right. Suit yourself.

Hey, come here.

Here you go. You might need these.

Thanks for everything.

It's good seeing you again, Tim.

Timmy.

You know, it's your cat,

and you're supposed to feed her.

Come on, Timmy, just turn

the light on. I'm not coming up there.

He's scared of his damn closet.

You know why he's so scared,

don't you?

-Why?

-Because you freaked him out...

...with that stupid story of yours.

You've gotta be kidding.

It was a story.

-My dad did the same thing to me.

-Look how you turned out.

-It was nothing, okay?

-He's got a very vivid imagination.

Mary, this is ridiculous. I was just--

You're gonna put that boy

in therapy.

-Just calm down, okay?

-Timmy.

Cody. Cody.

Kate!

Kate!

-Cody.

-Are you all right?

Yeah.

I think I just hit my head.

He's never done that before.

Do you wanna come in,

put some ice on that?

Sure.

I saw you at the funeral.

I wasn't sure you'd remember me.

I'm real sorry about your mom.

Yeah, me too.

-How about that ice?

-Yeah.

-Sorry.

-What are you trying to do?

-I'm sorry.

-I'm in pain.

So....

So....

So how's the city?

It's all right.

It's been a little crazy lately, but....

You got a girlfriend?

Actually, yeah. Yeah, I do.

How about you?

-Do I have a girlfriend?

-No.

-No, I don't.

-You know what I mean.

No, I don't have a boyfriend.

Just me and my dad.

I'm sure some shrink could have

a field day with that.

So how long are you staying around?

I think just tonight.

I wanted to go through my mom's

things, you know, pictures and stuff.

-I found a goofy one of you and me.

-Goofy?

-I don't remember being goofy.

-I'll show you.

-It's actually kind of cute.

-No, I don't think. Cute, I believe.

Goofy, that's crazy talk.

I mean, if you said you saw

a picture that--

You know, that was stunning

or, you know, gorgeous...

...okay, you know, I've heard that

a thousand times.

He took Dad, and now he's gonna

take me.

Timmy, nobody took your dad.

Okay?

Did you find it?

What?

Goofy photo?

Here.

Look at us. Even you're adorable.

Thanks.

You know, I was crushed

when you left.

It broke my little heart.

And it broke my heart

you couldn't throw a baseball.

You were the one

that was scared of closets.

-I told you that?

-Yeah.

I told you closets were nothing.

It's the thing under the bed

you had to be worried about.

All right, I have to go home

and start Dad's dinner.

I bet you don't have any food

in the house, do you?

-I'll come back with some.

-You don't have to.

I know. It's frightening how

domestic I've become, though.

Bye.

Hello.

Hello.

Hey.

You all right?

Wanna come out?

What were you doing in there?

You were at my mother's funeral,

weren't you?

My dad knew her.

What's your name?

Franny.

So, Franny, wanna tell me why you're

following me around?

I wanted to talk to you.

I wanted to ask you something.

All right.

Wanna ask me now?

Is it true?

Is what true?

The Boogeyman took your dad.

Look, I don't know where you

heard that, but it's just a story.

There's no such thing

as the Boogeyman.

I was trying to make sense of things.

My dad left. I was upset.

That's all that happened. Okay?

It's late. Your parents will worry.

Where do you live? I'll give you a ride.

Next to the park.

It's all right. I've got my own ride.

Hey, Franny.

Count to five.

When you're afraid,

close your eyes and count to five.

Sometimes it works for me.

What happens when you get to six?

-You gotta be brave. Come on, Tim.

-No, Dad.

Dad. Let me out.

Tim, stop it. Okay? There is nothing

in there. Just trust me.

Trust me. There is nothing in there.

-"Just count to five like I told you."

-Count to five like I told you, okay?

He's here. He's here.

One. Two. Three.

-Good boy.

-Four. Five.

He's here. He's here.

Tim. Where--?

Where are you going?

-We have to go.

-What happened to your face?

-Please. We have to go.

-I called your uncle.

-I am so sorry about--

-I want to go now.

Look, I'm sorry for losing it back there.

I just needed to get out of that house.

Hey, it's okay.

It's-- It's really late.

Maybe we should stop somewhere

and get some rest, you know?

How are you doing?

Tim, come on. I drove two and

a half hours to be with you.

I can't do this anymore, okay?

It's too much, and I'm too tired.

Look, can't we just forget

all about the bad stuff...

...just for one night?

Just try to have some fun?

Pretend that nothing else is out there.

Listen, why don't you go grab

some ice.

I'll get the bath ready.

We can raid the minibar

and have our own little...

..."forget about the world" party.

Okay?

-All right.

-Good.

Good.

Hey, Tim.

Hello.

Anybody home?

Tim.

Hello.

Brought you some food.

I'm coming up.

Are you decent?

Nice lighting.

Tim. Hello.

I'll make us a vodka Red Bull.

Tim.

I might have made these a little strong.

Listen, Jess. I just wanna thank you

for putting up with me.

Jessica?

Jessica?

Jessica?

Jessica?

Jessica?

Come on, Tim. This isn't funny.

How long were you

waiting in there?

You scared the crap out of me.

Come on, I made you some food.

Come on.

How did l--? Where's Jessica?

-Who's Jessica?

-We went to the hotel.

-The motel. And then--

-What are you talking about?

-I have to go.

-Tim. Tim.

-What the hell is going on?

-Come with me.

I need you to see what I see.

-What's wrong? Where are we going?

-I don't know. I don't know anything.

I don't know where I've been

or what I've done. I just don't know.

-Oh, God.

-What?

That's it. That's the motel.

What are we doing here?

Maybe you should go to the front desk

and ask if....

Jessica?

I was here.

What happened, Tim?

We were here.

I don't know. I went to get ice,

and I came back to--

-He took her.

-What? Who took her?

You won't believe me.

Where did the blood

come from, Tim?

Who do you think took your friend?

Tim, if something happened....

-lf you accidentally did something--

-I didn't hurt Jessica.

Are you sure?

Everybody told me I was

making it up.

For 15 years. Ever since my dad left,

telling me over and over.

But I was right.

I don't wanna be, but I am.

Tim.

Tim.

Good night, Tim.

Kate! Kate, please open the door!

-Kate! Kate. Come out.

-Go home. Get off the porch.

-Listen to me.

-You need to get out.

Don't grab me.

-He's in your house.

-My dad is in my house.

He's upstairs, probably

waiting up for me.

Tim...

...I think maybe you're sick.

And I wish I could help you,

but I can't.

Now, if you don't go home,

I'm calling the police.

It wasn't your dad. I saw him.

I'm going inside now.

Go home.

You need help, Tim.

Couldn't sleep either?

I was looking for you.

You said you lived by the park.

Sometimes when I think he's

in my house, I come out here.
