I think he's gonna stay down for a while.

Do you wanna put him in his crib?

Or should I do it?

Do you want me to...

You know what? I'm gonna get him for you.

It was too good to last.

Need more sleep.

Like 24 hours more.

How about 12 more hours? Deal?

12 more, honey.

Sunday.

They have to take the day off.

Sunday.

It's the Lord's day.

Hallelujah.

Come on. Let's go see Tanner and pay her

and see if she can come back.

What kind of person would

you let in this house?

Penny.

Some teenager you met at the grocery store!

Penny, calm down.

No references!

I mean, we don't even know her last name!

Do you even know her first name?

I mean, what is going on with this house

that someone

would leave in the middle of the night?

You're... You're taking it too far.

No, I'm not!

Penny, please!

- Stop, okay?

- Stop what?

Look. I know it's wrong.

I take full responsibility.

But she's gone, for whatever reason.

The baby was in the crib.

And we were a few feet away

in our room, sleeping.

We didn't even have our monitor on!

Something could have happened!

People did not have

baby monitors throughout

the entirety of human history

until a couple of years ago!

And babies died every night their cribs!

Penny, please.

Hey.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

You guys get in your trucks!

And you get the hell out of here!

Look, look, friend, what you...

What the hell is the matter with you?

You're not making any sense.

Don't you a**holes have any children?

- Don't be stupid.

- What you're doing is illegal!

I'm gonna shut this operation down!

There's nothing illegal

about what we're doin'!

You cannot do construction on Sunday!

Okay, it's okay, man.

We've all been in your shoes. You know?

It's happened to me,

trust me, more than once.

You tied one on Saturday night,

induced yourself into a junior coma,

and you lost an entire day.

Welcome to Monday.

If you got a sick day, I think I'd call in.

It looks like you could use

a little more shut eye.

Why don't you go crawl back in bed.

I'll make sure we keep it down.

You have to get out right now.

Do you hear me?

There's a ghost in the house.

- I've seen it.

- Get in the f***in' car and start driving.

Why won't you believe me?

I haven't done anything wrong.

God damn it, why won't you believe me?

You think this isn't hard for me?

Wake up! Why are you lying to me?

I'm sorry.

I didn't picture our life quite like this.

You must hate it.

The rain is nice.

They'll probably have to stop.

Isn't the rain nice?

I can't remember your name.

I'm sorry.

You see her, too.

I'm not crazy.

Please!

Please! Please! Please!

Please! Please!

The baby's asleep.

I don't know if you've realized,

but it's actually quiet right now.

This is the first time since

we moved in this place

that I can actually get some work done.

So if you have any love

left in your heart for me,

could you please, please stop

pounding on the window?

I'm sorry our whole nightmarish ordeal

is undermining your ability to play piano.

You have got to let me get some work done.

All you can think about is work

when we're in the fifth level of hell?

I know how difficult this is for you.

Difficult? What is wrong with you, Alex?

There's something wrong with this house!

There's something horrible here.

Penny, whatever you think

is going on, okay,

whatever you think you see...

It's not real.

I've got something.

I want you to take these.

- Look...

- No.

I know you're scared. I'm scared, too.

We are falling apart.

We cannot function like this.

I can help you.

Please don't do this.

- I could take care of Tanner.

- No...

No, I'll take care of him and then you sleep.

I have to be here to protect him.

Don't you understand?

Then something's gonna happen.

It's the only way we're

gonna get through this.

God, I want to go home.

I want to go home.

You just need to get some sleep.

Here.

Take these.

No.

What are you doing?

Stay away from me.

Stay away from you?

All I've ever done

is taken care of you and the baby.

The baby?

You wanted this baby just as much

as you wanted to move into this house.

That's not true.

You think I'm an idiot?

You think I'm stupid, huh?

You can't do this to me!

You can't treat me like this!

I said stay away from me.

I would never hurt you.

I would never hurt you!

All I've ever done

is given you everything you wanted!

Take the f***ing pills!

No.

How are you feeling?

Are you feeling anything?

That smells good.

Can I have some?

All right. Sorry.

Switch.

Did you think I forgot about you?

I didn't forget about you, noodle.

I'd never forget about you.

I know you're sitting right there.

Oh, my God.

Tanner.

Tanner? Tanner?

Alex!

Alex! Alex, wake up!

Wake up! Alex! Wake up!

Come on, wake up! Alex!

Wake up!

I did something terrible.

I can't find Tanner. You gotta help me.

Please wake up. Please wake up.

Please, please, wake up.

We have to go get Tanner.

Alex, wake up, we have to get Tanner.

Alex!

There's something here.

There's something here that's gonna get us.

I'm not going crazy.

I'm not crazy.

Did you hear that? Did you hear that?

Do you believe me? Do you believe?

Did you hear that? Can you hear?

Go away!

Go away!

No! No!

No! No!

I just want my baby.

Tanner?

Go to hell.

You're not real.

Oh, God!

Michael!

Good god. What's happened to you?

What are you doing here?

Why are you here?

Hey. Calm down.

No, no, no, you don't understand.

I have to go find Tanner.

Take it easy. I've got you.

I'm gonna get help. Okay?

- No, please, Michael, let go of me.

- I've got you.

I'm gonna go and get some help.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Just relax. Just relax.

What the hell? What's going on here?

She's not real.

She's not real.

Help me.

She's not real.

She's not real.

She's not real.

She's not real. She's not real.

She's not real. She's not real.

She's not real.

- Penny...

- She's not real.

She's not real. She's not real.

She's not real. She's not real.

Penny. Penny, you've gotta

tell me what's going on here.

She's not real. She's not real.

She's not real. She's real.

She's real. She's real.

Real, real, real, real, real, real.

Oh, God.

Oh, God. Okay.

Okay.

Stay away...

From my family!

Help me.

Oh, God.

Remember, we will not be undersold.

Rescue efforts tapered off

after multiple searches
