How to Save Us Page #5
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
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
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.
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.
are all over the place.
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.
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.
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
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
