This one's "canceled" too.

Strike two, huh? All right.

Hey, third one's the charm.

Fingers crossed.

How are we doing?

Are we good?

-I like that sound.

-Yeah, you're good.

Okay.

Damn it! Griffin!

I asked you to bring these

comic books upstairs.

I was just about to do it.

Yeah, I almost broke my neck.

Because you were walking and playing

that game at the same time, I bet.

Thank you.

Maddy?

Is that you?

Maddy?

Maddy.

This isn't funny.

All right, everybody, come downstairs!

-Family meeting.

-Dad! Dad!

-Let's go! Kendra!

-Dad! I have to tell you something!

-What's going on with the flowers out there?

-I don't know.

Did you get pizza?

I just made chicken nuggets.

That's okay. We'll have both.

-Pizza!

-My baby wanted pizza.

You put them together,

you got chicken nugget pizza.

Dad, the weirdest thing happened!

-Why are you screaming at me, Griffin?

-Griffin, you got to tone it down.

-What?

-"What?" Here's what.

-What's that?

-What do you think of that?

-No way!

-Yeah, way!

-You know what else?

-Now get off my back.

-Thank you, Dad.

-You got it.

-Dad! And guess what?

-Yeah.

-The ball rolled across the floor...

-What? What?

-knocked into the closet--

-Hey, look at this!

I got you that AR.Drone you wanted.

-Look at that. Isn't that cool?

-Dad, you aren't listening to me!

-It's got a camera on it.

-It does?

What are you doing?

What are you doing, cutie?

Look at that.

These are the ones you liked.

You can wear them to the party tonight.

Dad, that's not all!

Then this tower of comic books formed!

When I turned around

they blew back at my face!

-Wow.

-They had just appeared out of nowhere--

Really? That's crazy!

-It's not funny, Dad!

-Yeah, it's hilarious.

How did you pay for this?

How do you think? I stole it.

Robbed a bank.

Uh-oh.

Uh-oh, Daddy-O!

We gotta bring this stuff back.

You have to take it back.

-Mom, no.

-Yes.

-I'm not bringing anything back.

-Dad!

-Griffin.

-I think we deserve a treat.

Why doesn't anyone listen to me?

Griffin! Gosh!

It's been all afternoon with this.

Just so you know,

I'm putting the passcode on my phone...

-so you can't get to it.

-Please don't antagonize him.

-Dad, we have to move.

-We're not moving!

-Now, quit it!

-Amy--

No, I expect this from Maddy...

but I'm starting to think

that he's the baby in the family.

-Here you go, Mommy.

-Perfect.

Thank you, sweetheart.

Griffin, I'm sorry.

That didn't go as I hoped.

How's the pizza?

-Not good.

-No?

No.

You got to try it with the nuggets.

It's a little better.

I am an awful person.

I called my own son a baby.

Well, if it's any consolation,

my mom called me a lot worse.

There's something wrong with him, Eric.

It's not just the anxiety.

-He's fine.

-He's not fine.

He is saying the craziest things

and he believes them.

All right, what do you want me to do?

You want me to...

I'll take him to someone.

How? I mean, you keep spending money

that we don't have.

Why are you doing that?

I mean, what do I got, the illusion of...

Spending money?

I'm trying to... I'm doing the best I can.

I wanna give you guys what you want.

I'm trying to...

I know. I know. I know.

Look, look, look, look,

it was a bad day, okay?

It'll get better.

-I'm gonna go get ready.

-Okay.

-It's the windmill!

-Daddy! Break my arm!

-Okay. Okay.

-Break my arm! Break my neck!

-Dad?

-Neck! Neck!

Dad, what if the squirrel gets in?

I sealed up the hole.

It's tighter than Fort Knox up there.

Bye-bye, Daddy.

-Then why did you leave the trap?

-Insurance. You can't be too safe.

Squirrels are wily.

-Don't worry about it.

-Bye-bye.

-Set the alarm, call us if you need us.

-I will.

-Call you on my new phone.

-Yeah, you will.

-Be good for your sister.

-Bye, Mommy.

-Lock the door!

-Bye. We will. Bye.

I wanna stay up all night!

No. Madison--

-Stay up all night!

-No, go upstairs.

No!

All right. All snug?

Wait.

Piggy-corn said she wants more kisses.

She does?

How many?

She says three.

-Three?

-Three.

Sure? Okay.

One, two, three--

20. 900.

I can't fall asleep.

Why not?

I think there's a storm coming.

Gary tells me you played

ball together in college.

He said you had quite the swing.

Triple-A, but I still do swing

with the best of them.

Don't get any ideas, Barbara.

He could have played in the majors.

He's being very modest.

No, I-- Bad shoulder,

so it wasn't meant to be.

What are you gonna do?

Lucky you had a plan B

to fall back on.

There's nothing wrong

with a suit and tie.

I keep telling my son, it pays the rent.

It's a good thing

I have a suit and a tie then.

I can put it on Monday morning if you like.

What time do I start? Nine?

They just moved to Willow Point.

My brother had a house

in that development back in the 90s.

We'd never visit him

because of the cemetery thing.

The thought of it

just gave me the willies.

What "cemetery thing"?

Just that that development

was built on a former cemetery.

-Yeah, but they moved it though.

-Yeah.

The developers relocated the whole thing

to Broxton Park.

200 acres.

This was years ago.

You're kidding me!

They moved the whole cemetery?

The realtor didn't mention it?

No. Actually, they didn't mention it.

Isn't it like, you know, very uncool

to move all those bodies and--

Well, it's not like it was

an ancient tribal burial ground.

Yeah, I know.

It's just 10 minutes away.

People can still visit loved ones.

But now it's in a nicer neighborhood.

I'm sorry.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Help!

Please, help!

Kendra!

Maddy.

We're gonna get in big trouble.

Griffin?

Griffin!

I'm scared!

Just stay away from the closet.

Don't leave me!

Kendra!

Kendra!

Griffin! Please open the door!

Please help! Please help me! Please!

Open the door!

What the hell is that?

Honey, stop--

Stop the car.

Stop the car.

Somebody!

-Griff!

-Dad! Help!

Griffin!

Oh, my God!

Baby, are you all right?

-Mom, Mom!

-Okay, baby.

What the hell is going on?

Mom!

Dad, Mom--

-What's going--

-There were voices--

I got locked in the basement

and the tree grabbed Griffin--

Slow down. I cannot--

What did you say?

I can't find Maddy!

Madison!

Maddy, honey--

Madison!

Maddy?

Mommy--

-Madison?

-Mommy--

Mommy.

Mom?

Mom?

Mom!

Mom!

Griff. What--

Mommy? Mommy?

Maddy, where are you?

Mommy. Mommy.

Daddy, is that you?

-I don't even know what happened.

-I know, but we have to tell them.

We gotta figure out what happened.

We can't call the cops.

What are you gonna tell them?

That our daughter got--

-I don't know what just happened.

-I'm gonna tell them--

We need to figure out

what's going on. Okay?

Listen to me. Listen to me.

If you call the cops...

-they're gonna blame us.

-No, they're not gonna blame us.

-They're not gonna believe us.

-We're just gonna tell them what happened.

-There's gonna be news vans all over the lawn.
