Go away!

Lisa.

Olivia, come play with me.

Olivia?

We're having eggs and bacon,

so come help me set the table.

How'd you sleep last night?

No more sleepwalking, right?

Your father.

Come on.

I know, I know, I know.

God damn it. I know.

God, this son of a b*tch.

Oh, God.

Ah, I can't figure

out why it won't.

Come on, work.

Come on.

I don't know, I don't know.

Son of a b*tch.

Need something, Olivia?

You need you to go

back inside, okay?

I'm busy.

Come on.

Oh, come on.

Damn it!

I don't want you coming

in here when I'm working.

You understand?

Do you understand?

I said, get out!

Lisa. Lisa. Oh, my God.

Are you okay?

What happened?

I think she's sleepwalking.

I was standing in the kitchen,

and she just walked right

past me and came in here.

Sweetheart, you okay?

- I think we should call a doctor.

- The phones are still out.

Well, we should do

something, Bruce.

Mom, I'm fine.

Can you just bring me

some Mac and cheese?

Yes, of course.

Okay pal...

I'm gonna be down in the garage

if you need anything, all right?

Dad?

Yeah?

Did you find the spark plugs?

The spark plugs?

That's why the car won't

start.

Oh, uh, no.

I'm pretty sure it's

just an engine valve.

Don't worry, though, I'll have

it fixed before your birthday

tomorrow, and we'll all

have a great time.

You can pick any restaurant

you want to go to.

It'll be your special day.

Lise, are you okay?

How about we go to

hackney's tomorrow?

Uh-huh. You got a craving

for some onion rings.

Yeah and I'll... I'll get the

butterscotch sundae to share.

You know my weakness, don't you?

Yeah, I think so.

You get some rest, Lis.

Love you.

Love you too, dad.

Olivia?

Olivia, can you hear me?

Olivia.

Olivia, where are you?

I need you to bring me back.

I need you to show me

everything that you...

Lisa.

Come in, Lisa, please.

Robbie?

Hi, Lisa.

Edgar says you need to be

punished for being bad.

He says you're a busy Betty.

Robbie where are you?

The secret cave.

Edgar's with me.

We're on a treasure hunt.

Where is the secret...

Robbie?

Robbie?

Robbie, are you in here?

Robbie?

Robbie?

Robbie?

Robbie!

Robbie!

Oh!

Oh, my God.

Lisa?

Robbie.

Hi, Lisa.

Robbie, where are you?

You told me you were

in the secret cave.

We tricked you.

What?!

I'm in the attic, Lisa.

I was hiding from

you the whole time.

Edgar says we've won the game.

Robbie. Robbie?

Damn it!

Don't worry.

I'll watch Robbie for you.

No, no, no!

No, no, no, no, no!

No, no!

Let me out of here,

you son of a b*tch!

Somebody help me, please!

Please! No!

Hello?

Hello?

Okay.

Dad, is that you?

Hello?

Did he get you, too?

Who are you?

How long have you

been his prisoner?

Oh, my God.

You're...

you're Frances Nichols.

You were the first

girl he kidnapped.

Who was he?

Get away. I have to get this

door open before he comes back.

No, please. Tell me who he was.

Please tell me.

Please.

I don't know his name.

I was walking home after

the movies last night.

He was closing up his store and

asked if I needed a ride home.

When I came closer, he grabbed me,

put a cloth over my face.

I passed out and woke

up here in his car.

I was tied up in the back seat.

And the engine was running.

I thought I was gonna suffocate.

But... but you didn't?

Well, I'm talking

to you, aren't I?

Aah!

Look, that man that kidnapped you,

he's the reason that I'm

here, too,

and my family

and all the other girls

that were missing.

He trapped us all in this house.

He wants us to be asleep.

That's how he controls us.

Quiet.

Are you coming?

There's nothing out there.

Well, I've got to get home.

My family's worried about me.

I've been gone all night.

No, you've been gone much

longer than that, Frances.

Your family has already

grieved over you.

Then, they moved on with

the rest of their lives.

Grieved over me?

You're wrong.

That can't be right.

When I touched this,

we connected.

How did you get my ring?

After he murdered you,

he dumped your body

down below.

And then he burned you up...

Just like all the other girls.

He was a monster.

And I am so, so sorry that you

had to go through that, Frances.

I really, really am.

But you have to wake up.

We all do.

- Frances! No!

- This is my house, Lisa!

Lisa?

Lisa, what are you

doing in here?

You're supposed to be upstairs

in your room, resting.

Lisa!

I know what happened.

Lisa, what are you doing?

Where is it?

Lisa, stop it!

Sweetheart, talk to me.

Lisa.

It happened to us in the garage,

just like Frances and the others.

Lisa, stop it.

What happened?

What are you talking about?

Who's Frances?

Oh, my God.

It was dad.

And you... you let him do this!

What on earth are

you talking about?

You didn't even do

anything to save us!

Lisa, talk to me.

Wake up, mom! Wake up!

I won't let it happen again.

Never again!

Robbie?

Where's Edgar?

He left.

Robbie, you do understand

that me,

you, and mom and dad

aren't alive anymore...

this isn't the real world?

Mm-hmm.

When did you figure that out?

This morning...

After I found my glasses.

Your glasses?

They were under my pillow.

I didn't want to find them

before, 'cause I was too scared.

Why would you be scared

of your glasses?

'Cause I was wearing

them that night...

the night we all died.

Don't worry, Lisa,

it's gonna be okay.

We're just like pac-man.

We play in the same maze

over and over,

and we can never die.

We're always in our house,

and that's just how it's got to be.

That's what Edgar told me.

Hi, Lisa.

If you're watching this,

it means you made it back.

Or it means I'm crazy.

Either way, I hope

you find this.

The one thing I do

know is I'm scared.

The man who lived here

before you,

was named Edgar mullins.

He was born in this house.

He murdered all those

girls over the years.

And then he died here in 1983.

My dad... he's changed.

My mom's useless...

totally in denial.

No one will believe

a word I say.

I found this in the

garage last week.

It's how we connected.

It's yours, isn't it?

It belonged to you

before you died.

You're the only one who understands

what I'm going through.

Help me, Lisa.

Help me save my family.

Where are they?!

David.

What are you looking for?

What are you looking for?!

Okay, I know what you're doing.

I don't know what

you're talking about.

- Olivia?

- Where are they?

I'm scared.

- Where did you put them?!

- What?!

- You know what I'm talking about!

- I don't.

David, stop please. Just stop.

Where did you hide them?

I told you, I don't know

what you're talking about.

- Right!

- What's wrong with you?

Why are you acting like this?!

Olivia, go back to your room.

Take your sister with you.

Olivia, please.

Sweetheart.

Go upstairs.

Do as your mother says, Olivia.

- You shouldn't be down here.

- No, no.

Now, listen to me.

Listen to me, okay?

You need to get out

of this house.

Take your kids with you and

don't ever, ever come
