his father couldn't

Understand, he would

become a punching bag.

This is the dreaded

room where'd he pray

Every night, not for

the safety of others,

But the demise of

his own father,

Praying that one day he wouldn't

Have to wear long-sleeved shirts

For the rest of his life

To hide his secrets.

Where or where was

his big brother?

Little Molly's bedroom,

She thought the

more toys she had,

The more friends she'd have!

Unfortunately all they ever did

Was trap her in the prison,

And constantly remind

her there was no way out.

She became deaf to advice,

Trapped in her own world.

No way Brian would

ever come home

To save them, he'd

never be her hero again.

And last but not least,

the oldest child, Brian.

He was always so

quiet, they said.

He handled their

troubled childhood

The best, they said.

Brian was the strong one.

The devil's advocate.

Nothing ever got to Brian.

No one would ever expect

Brian to kill his own parents.

I didn't kill them.

Dad is dead, Brian.

It was an accident,

nobody was gonna miss them.

Except poor little Brian.

What are the odds people

That some cookie

eggheads opened the door

To another world,

Brian here would enter

it after doing something

So bad.

It wasn't my fault.

Such a shocking moment

That changed the

Everett family forever.

But stay tuned folks,

after the break

We're going to the

most terrifying room

In the house, Daddy's room.

It wasn't my fault.

Hey Sam it's me.

Look I uh, I'm really sorry

I didn't show up to

the funeral today,

But, I just couldn't

bring myself to be there.

And I know you and

Molly needed me,

I'm sure especially

today of all days,

But, I have something

That I need to tell you right.

Look, I saw Mom and Dad

the night they died.

Oh it had been

years, and I figured

I tried to patch

things up with them,

See if I could salvage anything,

But, when I saw them,

Dad started drinking

And he starting hitting Mom.

I couldn't take it anymore,

So I tried to make him stop,

But, of course he wouldn't.

Then I tried to take Mom away,

But, she wouldn't come with me.

So I just let her

in the car with dad.

I watched them both drive away.

I knew how drunk Dad was.

I couldn't come today because,

Because I let our parents die.

It's because I was angry.

Because I love you guys

more than anything,

And, I hope someday

you understand

Why I did what I did,

Because, my place in the world

Is just to protect both of you,

From people like them.

I'm so sorry Sam.

I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

Goodbye.

Brian.

Brian.

Brian.

This way, Brian.

How could you not

recognize your own father?

Your own,

Your never-ending nightmare.

Right now...

Are you not afraid of me, Brian?

Well in that case,

Apologize finally.

For what you did to us.

Or I will destroy all of you.

You cannot destroy us.

Nor can you create us.

But soon, you will become us.

You will all be down here.

Your sister, your brother,

Your friends, everyone

you've ever known.

You will all come down here.

That's interesting.

What you just said.

That you can neither be created

Nor destroyed?

Because on the other hand,

Electricity, which

is what it seems like

You things feed

off of down here,

Actually can be destroyed.

You do not have the power.

You can either try it

before you,

For the.

You are forever

trapped down here.

You know what I think?

I think Sam was right.

I think that these portals

are all over the place.

I think there was

probably even one

Near this very house when

we were kids, wasn't there?

You've been with us

forever, haven't you?

And now you're just

afraid of losing us.

You're just afraid

of losing our fear.

You think you can destroy me

With that?

Seems simple enough.

I mean after all, how do

you turn off the lights?

You just press the

off switch, right?

Foolish boy,

you think it is that simple?

Yeah, it is that simple.

And I only have one

thing left to say to you.

From the very,

Very bottom of my heart.

F*** you, Dad.

It's been nearly three hours

Since the strange

light was seen above

Eastern Tasmania,

And so far, the

government is unavailable

For comment.

Rumors are spreading fast

That Tasmania's

quarantine may finally

Be lifted in the coming days.

More info as it comes.

Until then, more music.

Hello?

Hey Molly, it's Brian.

I found him.

Is he okay?

Yeah, yes, he looks fine.

How did you find him, Brian?

I finally did what I had to do.

Look Molly, sometimes,

We need to just stop trying

to explain everything.

Just say thank you.

Fine, thank you.

I guess I'll see you

when you get back.

Hey Molly, I'm here all right?

From now on, I promise

That we're all gonna be okay.

I love you Molly.

I love you too.

And I

Hope you can relate

And you've got lots

Of worries that

you can't put to bed

And I don't need

to be one of them

And I can't seem to get her

To tell me the truth

And I don't want it to be

Like that

When I'm sick

And dying

She told me that

you never raised

Your voice at her once

And now she runs

When it gets tough

When it gets tough

But I

Made a mistake

And I

Hope you can relate

And I've got questions

And I've got questions for you

And I've got questions

And I've got things

you need to prove
