This is the police!
Open up!
Police! Anyone here?
Hey, fella.
Anybody home?
Ma'am, turn around slowly.
Unit 507,
we got a possible homicide.
Requesting backup.
Copy that, 507. Backup is
en route. ETA 10 minutes.
Adrian?
Adrian!
Adrian.
Cobbs.
Cobbs!
This is Unit 507.
I've got an officer down.
Repeat, officer down.
Copy, 507.
EMS is being notified.
Backup to your location
in five minutes.
It's gonna be so much better
than the city, honey.
You're gonna have sidewalks
to ride your bike on and a yard.
You're gonna love it.
I miss Daddy.
I know, honey.
But you're gonna be
so much happier here.
I promise. You'll see.
There they are!
- Hi.
- Hi.
You must be Claire.
Your mommy's told me
a lot about you,
so I brought you something
very special from our office
Ta-da!
I'm sorry. She's still not 100%
about this whole moving thing.
That's all right. She will be
when she sees her new room.
Come on. Let's go inside.
Welcome home.
What do you think, hmm?
I mean, I know it's not perfect,
of work, it'll be great.
Well, you know, there was
a lot of interest in this house,
mostly from
real estate speculators,
but I felt that
it needed a family.
You like it?
What?
Well, it's an old house.
It's got a lot of history,
but nothing too bad.
- There you go.
- Oh, thanks.
Those are for the front door,
the back door, and the garage.
I'm right in town.
Call me if you need
anything at all.
- What is this?
- That's for the keys.
Oh, okay.
You keep that.
Thank you.
Oh.
"Lilith."
What's that?
What's what?
Claire.
Please, Mommy, can I keep her?
But you have so many other dolls
already, honey.
But I want this one.
I think that one probably
belongs to somebody else.
Finders keepers.
Fine, but you have
to let me wash it first.
Come on.
All right, keep unpacking.
Okay.
Everything's going pretty well.
I mean, she's not
super excited, but...
What's going on with you?
Same-old, same-old.
Grading papers.
Everything okay with the move?
Yeah. You know what?
Thanks so much for helping me
with that article.
It's hard to imagine
there's actually people
who believe this stuff is real.
Sometimes it's easier to rely on
a supernatural explanation
rather than confronting
the truth.
So what are you gonna do now?
Well, I'm gonna talk
to some of the local papers,
but I really just want
to take some time
and work on my book
and focus on Claire.
Good.
It's much bigger
than our old apartment.
- Claire?
- Everything okay?
You know what? I'm gonna go.
I'll call you later?
Okay, honey.
Good luck with the unpacking.
Thanks.
And I have some friends for you
in one of these boxes.
Tomorrow I have to go
to a new school with new kids.
I'm scared.
I hope they're nice,
not mean like some kids.
What if they don't like me?
What if they don't need
any new friends?
Hey.
I know it's hard.
You're gonna do great.
I promise.
Can I sleep with the light on?
Aren't you forgetting something?
Mom.
Come on.
Okay.
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord
my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake,
I pray the Lord
my soul to take.
- 3 times 3?
- Nine.
- 3 times 4?
- 12.
- 3 times 5?
- 15.
3 times 6?
Claire?
Are you paying attention?
Very good.
- 3 times 7?
- 21.
Hey, did you really move
into the bad house?
I heard it's haunted.
Stop it.
You moved into the bad house?
Stop it.
It's gonna get you.
It's gonna get you
- It's gonna get you
- Hey!
Stop it!
Hello?
Hello?
Oh, my God!
- The door was open.
- Can I help you?
I'm Janine, your new neighbor.
Alyson.
I thought this place
was gonna... Oh!
Whoops!
They kept
all the original fixtures.
It's lovely.
Oh, where are my manners?
Sorry they're a bit smushed,
but my cats were
walking on them.
Thank you.
Oh, look.
There's one of them now.
Smokey!
He's my oldest.
You have a little girl.
Yeah. Claire. She's nine.
My cats simply adore children.
Oh, that's great.
So if Claire ever wants to come
and play with the kitties,
just send her over.
They would love it.
And if you need anything,
just holler.
- Okay, thank you.
- Bye!
It's nice to meet you.
Wow.
Mommy said
that I'd be happy.
She promised.
I thought things
would be different,
But they're not.
They pick on me.
I hate them.
I wish they were dead.
- I won't go back there!
- Claire, you have to!
- Stop it.
- No.
- Yes.
- I want to go home.
- We are home.
- No!
You don't scream at me.
No!
Let me go!
They put you in
a wooden box
Claire, honey, I know
you don't want to go to school,
but you need to eat.
Cover you up
with dirt and rocks
Don't you laugh
as the hearse goes by
For you may be
the next to die
Claire, honey, didn't you
hear me calling your name?
Claire.
They crawl all over
your dirty snout
Honey, where did you
learn that song?
sauerkraut
Sluggo!
Smokey!
Din-dins!
No! No! No! No!
No! No, no, no, no!
Separation and divorce can be
very stressful for a child.
been torn out from under her.
very uncertain.
The hardest thing is that you're
having to go through this alone.
I just... I don't know what
I'm supposed to do anymore.
I mean, she won't go to school,
and she'll barely eat anything.
in the city?
Yeah.
Returning to the dynamics
of that environment
might be a helpful thing
for her,
even just for a visit.
I'd strongly consider
letting her go back.
Thank you for your time, Doctor.
I've seen in similar cases
of callous,
unemotional children.
Distinctive lack of remorse
and empathy.
Further study will be required
before I can determine
the presence of psychopathy.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
You're not even gonna touch
your ice cream?
Fine. Then I will.
I wanna go home.
Honey, this is our home now.
Why? 'Cause you and Daddy
can't get along?
It's a lot more complicated
than that, sweetie.
It's your fault.
Claire...
You're always so busy
with your stupid writing.
I'm gonna go take care
of the check.
What have you got there?
Give her back.
A pretty girl like you
should have a nice, new doll,
not an ugly, old one
like this.
- She's not ugly.
- Well, look at her.
She's practically falling apart.
I tell you what.
I bet I have a new one
in the back room.
Why don't we throw this one
away, and I'll go get her?
Give her back!
Claire!
I am so sorry.
What is wrong... Claire!
I'm sorry.
I think we should
talk about this, don't you?
She's a murderer!
- What are you talking about?
- Your daughter!
I don't... What?
my garden last night.
Janine...
I saw the way
she looked at them.
My babies wouldn't hurt anybody,
and now they're dead,
