Jack, Jack! Mary, I have Jack

on the phone.

Everybody quiet!

Okay, Jack, go ahead.

JACK (OVER PHONE):

Mary, are you there?

Jack?

JACK (OVER PHONE): Baby, I don't

know what's going on...

over there, but you need

to stop.

Look, I know this hasn't been

easy for you.

But this... this is wrong.

You're all messed up right now!

I'm not crazy, Jack!

I'm trying to save our son!

This is the only way.

JACK (OVER PHONE): Adam... Adam?

He's here with me... he's fine.

He's in his carseat in the

backseat...

right now with his Grandma.

Mom?

SHEILA (OVER PHONE): I'm looking

at Adam right now, honey.

He's staring back at me with

those big, beautiful eyes...

and it reminds me of the very

first time I looked...

into your eyes, and I knew

right away that you were...

the most important thing

in my life!

JACK (OVER PHONE):

Just hold on, baby, okay?

Because I am almost there.

I am right down the street.

Okay? I'm so close,

we're gonna be fine.

(RADIO STATIC)

LAMASHTU (OVER PHONE):

Is he mine, Mary?

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

I can't...

Mary, don't!

(GUN FIRES)

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

Oh no! Why you on the ground,

baby?

Oh no! Come on, come on,

just hold on for me.

What are you guys doing?

Someone call 9-1-1!

It's okay, buddy, it's okay.

(ADAM FUSSING)

(SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING)

MARY (OVER SPEAKER):

Hello?

LAMASHTU (OVER SPEAKER):

Hello, Mary.

MARY (OVER SPEAKER):

Why my son?

Why Adam?

LAMASHTU (OVER SPEAKER): Because

your other son tasted so sweet.

MARY (OVER SPEAKER):

Was it you?

LAMASHTU (OVER SPEAKER):

Yes.

MARY (OVER SPEAKER):

How do I save Adam?

Please... tell me!

LAMASHTU (OVER SPEAKER):

Sacri...

(TAPE GARBLES)

MARY (OVER SPEAKER):

Please... tell me!

LAMASHTU (OVER SPEAKER):

Sacrifice...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC FADES UP)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

Where o' where's

my baby gone

Off to sleep until the dawn

Snuggle far just closed

her eyes

Open when the sun will rise

Never lay again to sleep

If someone took my day

from me
