- [Casey] Widow's Peak

sheriff's office, this is Casey.

- [Helen] Casey, Casey

I'm being attacked.

- Helen, is that you?

- [Helen] Lucas got

lost in the woods

and there was someone.

He killed Tom.

- [Casey] What do

you mean killed Tom?

(eerie dramatic music)

Helen, talk to me.

(eerie dramatic music)

Come now, please.

- [Sheriff] Hey,

it's okay, relax.

You're in the hospital.

Tell me what happened.

Lincoln S2S51, copy.

- [Wesley] Copy, sheriff, over.

- She said there was someone

in the house with her also.

Gave me a description.

Tall, long pale face, long

limbs, wearing glasses.

- Sir that sounds a lot like--

- I know exactly what it

sounds like, lieutenant.

Just keep your eyes open.

Somebody is hiding

out in those woods.

- [Wesley] Copy that.

We traced them out to the zoo,

we're going to take a look.

- Let's be careful, there is

a little kid out there also.

So just don't get trigger happy.

I'll be there as soon as

I locate the kid's dad.

- Must have been

a good date, huh?

- [Sheriff] Focus on the

task at hand, lieutenant.

Over and out.

(sighs)

- [Wesley] Your little

friend over there,

the sheriff's daughter

might be a little

coo-coo in the head, if

you know what I mean.

Right, let's do this.

(eerie ethereal music)

- [Lucas] Hello?

Helen?

- [Ginger] Shh, quiet, boy.

Don't you know who

may be listening?

(eerie ethereal music)

Hi.

(eerie ethereal music)

Here, for you.

(eerie ethereal music)

You must be hungry.

(eerie ethereal music)

And cold, huh?

(eerie ethereal music)

Why don't you come back

with me to my house?

We'll call the police.

(eerie ethereal music)

- Who are you?

- Shh.

(rustling sounds)

(eerie ethereal music)

Come on, Lucas.

Come with me

(eerie ethereal music)

No, Lucas.

- You were lucky.

The knife in your side

didn't hit any major organs.

A matter of millimeters,

but nothing serious.

(sighs)

- And the--

- The baby is going to be fine.

You are both doing just fine.

- [Matthew] Where is he?

Where is sheriff Connolly?

Sheriff?

(winces)

- [Sheriff] Mr. Parker.

- [Matthew] Where is my son?

What happened?

- [Sheriff] Everything is

going to be fine, trust me.

Trust me on this one.

Everything is going to be fine.

Nurse.

- Where were you?

You were supposed

to take care of him.

You were supposed

to protect him.

- [Sheriff] Could you

give her something

to calm her down, please?

I will take responsibility

for this situation.

I have every officer

in my outfit working

on this right now.

Your son will be found.

- [Wesley] This is the place.

- [Casey] What place?

- [Wesley] The nest,

where he took them,

to play hide and seek.

Except he knew the

building by heart,

so he always found them.

- [Rebecca] Come on,

Wesley, give it a break.

- We're, we're going in?

(eerie ethereal music)

- You two take the back,

I'll check the front.

(eerie ethereal music)

- [Casey] What kind of animal

did they keep in there?

- [Rebecca] Something big.

(eerie ethereal music)

- Hey, Casey, there is

someone under the bridge.

(eerie ethereal music)

A monster.

(laughs)

You're too stressed out, man.

This job is a lot of

running around in the dark

for reasons you

don't understand.

Better get used to it.

- [Casey] I'm fine.

(eerie ethereal music)

- [Rebecca] There's

something down here.

Come take a look.

(eerie ethereal music)

What does that look like to you?

(eerie ethereal music)

- I don't know, mud?

- Doesn't smell like mud.

(eerie ethereal music)

- [Wesley] Come out.

It's the police, I

have my gun drawn.

(eerie ethereal music)

(screams)

- Was that Wes?

(groans)

Wes?
