Don't worry, Zach.

lullaby music)

(Zach coos)

See, Zach,
everything's okay.

Yeah.

(slow mysterious music)

Sh, sh-sh.

Almost done.

Oh, god.

(creaking)

(Papo cooing)

- [John] Opa.

Oh, yeah.

Okay.
Hey.

- [Rachel] There it is,
my little prince,

it's your kingdom.

Here we go.

(gentle inspiring music)

Hey, buddy,
this is your room.

Hm.

(Eli cooing)

Yeah, these are all
your new friends.

You gonna say,
"Hello, jaguar.

Hello,
alligator.

Hello,
giraffe."

Oy.

Asleep.

- You ever have one
of those moments,

just like
you imagined it?

(knocking at door)

- This little kid sleeps
through anything.

(chuckles)

(cooing)

- Hi, uh,
Schoenberg?

- It's Guerrero.

Ah, yeah.

It's my mother-in-law,
that explains it.

Schoenberg's my wife's
maiden name. I can sign.

- Yeah, sure.
- Yeah.

- There you go.
- Great. Thank you.

- Oh.

All right.

Hey, Papo,
wanna say hi to baby Eli?

Hey, Papo,
look.

It's your
little brother.

Yeah.

That's Eli.

We gotta look
after him, yeah.

- It was
my sister's stuff.

- Toys that, uh,

belonged
to a baby who...

- Who died.

- I'm not superstitious,
I'm just saying.

You know,
what happened to her son,

and the whole accident
with her husband.

(Papo squawks)
(Eli cries)

What happened?
Papo scare you, huh?

Oh, come on, let's get you
over here, put you down.

Okay?
Yeah.

(Eli cooing)

(ticking clock
echoes)

Papo's a friend, Eli.

It's okay.
(Eli coos)

Yeah, it's all right,
buddy.

(book creaks)

(ticking clock
slows down)

- Got your ear.
- Oh, my god.

- And I

got your nose.

- Look at this.

It's got
writing on it.

It's got music.

It's Hebrew.

All right, Hebrew school,
let's put you to work.

(John chuckles)
- Got jokes, all right.

- Yeah, come on.
See what you got.

- Um...

(John speaks Hebrew)

It's like a prayer,
but not.

Hm.

Hang on, I got-I got
something for that.

(Papo squawking)

- That's good.

You need
a cheat sheet.

See, you probably don't
even speak Hebrew.

I think I need to
call my mother.

- Wow, wow, I mean, I think
what you mean to say is

thank you, my love, for getting
my mother off our backs

and proving your undying love
for me and Judaism

by converting,
maybe?

- Thank you, my love.
- Mm-hm.

- What was it again?
- Mm-hm.

Ah, look,
here it is.

It's a zemer.
Yeah.

- Right.

(clears throat)
It's a zemer.

- Mm-hm, zemer, it's like
a hymn, a religious song,

also like a lullaby.

It's actually
beautiful.

- It's classic Vivian.

- Can you make out
the tune?

- Um...

(Rachel vocalizing)

(telephone rings)

Okay, we don't need
a lullaby.

(telephone rings)

Hello.

Thank you.

Yeah, he came out so cute,
the little munchkin.

I can't even
tell you,

he's like
a perfect little soufflé.

Um, hey,
so, right...

Where are we on
reservations?

(gentle somber music)

You think this
is too easy?

- We got this.

- You know, I bet I won't
even need the full month.

(Eli crying)

- Oh.

(Eli crying)

(car horns honk)

(Eli crying)

- Please, Eli,
just work it out.

- Okay, I'll take him
so you can, uh, get ready.

Come on,
buddy.

I'm, oh, let me
get this first.

- I know. I know.
- There we go.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, okay.

All right now.

(Eli crying)

- Yeah.
- I can't do this.

I can't-- Look at me,
I'm a freaking mess.

I can't, I can't,
I can't go in like this.

I've had, what,
45 minutes sleep this week?

- Okay, all right.
- I can't, I can't do it.

- How can
I help?

- I don't know.
The restaurant was also my baby.

(Eli fussing)

I just feel like it's
slipping through my fingers.

(Eli fussing)

- Okay.
(Eli coughing)

Okay. Okay.
Up, up.

- Oh.
- Up, up, up.

- Hey.
- Rach, love,

I saw you build
that restaurant, okay?

- Yeah.

- It's not
going anywhere, okay?

- I know.
- You're amazing.

- Well, I'm amazing at that
'cause I know how to do it.

I just, I don't
know how to do this

and that
at the same time.

(Eli fussing)

- I have no doubt.

(Rachel sighs)

Oh.

Okay, look, um,
I'll call the gallery.

I'll tell the guys,
oh, you got my--

did you get
my nose now?

I'll let them know
that I'm gonna stay home.

- I'm not even gonna--
- It'll be me and you.

- No. No.
- Yeah, me and Eli.

- No, no,
you can't.

This is your biggest
exhibition ever, baby.

- Oh.
(Eli cries)

- You gotta go
to the gallery

and make sure your
psychedelic chicken is on point.

- It's a phoenix.

- Well, you know,
at least one of us

can rise from the ashes.
(John chuckles)

I'm gonna
stay with you.

- We're gonna work it out.
- Yeah? You sure?

- I got pretty close to getting
out the door today, buddy.

- You did. You certainly did.
- I did. I got close.

- I did.
- You'll need that.

- We're gonna
work it out, buddy.

Get outta here. Get out
before it's too late.

- Okay.
- Hi.

- All right, we a team,
we a team, we a team.

- We a team, we a team.
Yeah, we totally a team.

We got it.
Oh, god.

(Eli crying)
Yeah.

I, uh, I thought we agreed
on white truffles.

- [Woman On Phone]
What?

- On white truffles.
Sh, sh.

Yep, but you're still
gonna sit down.

You can
cry about it.

Hi.
Hey, baby.

Oh, this one, oh, look,
it's fun, it's fun.

Be happy.
(Eli cries)

Look, look
at the bird.

Look at the bird.
Yeah.

(Papo squawks)

(Eli cries)

It's okay.

Look.
(clapping)

You wanna clap?
You wanna do this?

I just need
five minutes, okay?

Okay?

You're a good guy.
Yeah.

You're a good guy.

(Eli cries)

Please,
I just need to poop.

Eli.

(Eli cries)

No, don't eat that,
don't eat that.

No, don't eat that.
No.

That's right.

We're gonna--
Oh.

Okay.

Okay,
we've got this.

Clean?

Vivian, Vivian.
Vivian?

Oh, Vivian.

Thank you,
sis.

Gold up in here.
(Eli cries)

There's some gold
up in here.

What is that?
Look, what's that?

(Eli wailing)

(wailing continues)

Stopped crying.

It works.

(Eli fusses)

Is that a little bit
of drool?

(foot thuds)

(soft eerie music)

(indistinct
distant whispering)

Oh...

Johnny.

(Eli crying)

(Papo squawks)

(Eli crying)

Sh, sh, sh.

(crickets chirping)

Baby,

I love you
so much.

(wind howling)

(ghostly voices whisper)

(door latch opens)

(John sighs)

Hey, honey.

Can you
hear that?

- I hear...

absolutely nothing.

- Not a peep.

Not a snort.

Not for hours.

(John sighs)

It was
the lullaby.

- Ah, your, uh,
your sister's book.

- Mm-hm.

- So, you were able to read
my translations?

- Mm-hm.

It, I don't know,
it put him right to sleep.

(both sigh)

- Thank you.

- How is this even possible?
You just got in the door.

- Ah, baby puke.

It's inevitable.

(towel snaps)

Hmm.

(gentle mysterious
lullaby music)

(zipper opens)

Oh, uh,
your dress is unzipped.

- Really?

Oops.

(gentle mysterious
lullaby music)

(Papo squawks)

(Papo squawking)

(steady knocking)

(tense scary music)

(exterior door handle
ratcheting)

(Rachel gasps)

Fuck this.

(mirror cracking)

(soft eerie music)

(Rachel groans)

Mom face.

Great.
(mirror cracking)

(Papo squawking)

(tense suspenseful music)

(birds chirping)

(water splashing)

(shower door opens)

Guess who's
still asleep?

- Elias Samson Guerrero?

- Yep.

- What a
good boy.

- Yeah.

(Crone growls)
- Shit!

(scary music)

Rach.

Rach.

- It's fine.

(sighs)
- Look, I'm sorry. I saw--

- You don't have to apologize.
You had an honest reaction,

that's just life.
It's what happens.

- Hey, no,
look--

Wait a minute.

- We need
a new baby monitor.

I'm gonna
be back soon.

(door shuts)

- Hey, Papo.

Hey, buddy.
(Papo squawks)

Hi.

Yeah.

Hey.

How you doin', bud? Yeah.

I know.
Yeah, hello.

You're not mad at me,
are you?

Look at yourself.

(Papo squawks)

(speaks Spanish)

(Papo squawks)

What is that?

(Papo squawks)

Huh.

(people chattering)

(monitors crackling)

(creature growls)

(monitors crackling)

(echoing knock)

- Okay, let's
get outta here.

Hello?

(Rachel breathes heavily)

(scary music)

(Rachel cries out)

- Are you okay?

(haunting music)

(mirror cracking)

(Papo yells)

(thunder claps)

- Stupid bird,
I swear to you...

(Papo squawking)

I'm gonna make a pillow
outta you.

(Papo squawking)

(baby cries
in distance)

(thunder crashes)

(electricity buzzes)

(baby crying
in distance)

(panting)

(thunder rumbles
in distance)

(baby crying)

(Rachel shudders)

(baby crying)

(Rachel gasps)

(Rachel whimpers)

(Rachel gasping)

(door creaks open)

(scary boom)
(Rachel gasps)

- Hey. Hey.

Hey, what-what's wrong?
What happened? What happened?

- There's, I think
there's someone,

there's someone in
the apartment. I--

- What do you--
what do you mean?

- So, so, okay, so there
was a blackout,

and then I--

There, I think there's
something or someone, I--

- Did you
call the police?

- No, I didn't.
I-- I didn't.

(thunder claps)

(Papo squawking)

(thunder rumbles)

(Papo talks indistinctly)

- Hello?
- [Papo] Hello.

(Papo squawking)

(thunder crackles)

- If someone's in here,
come out.

(metal rattles)

Hey!

(Papo squawks)

(thunder crashes)

- [Rachel]
Baby, is everything okay?

- Yeah.

Stay in the hall.

(Papo squawking)
(thunder rumbles)

(John breathing heavily)

(Papo squawks)
(John grunts)

(Papo thuds)

(John gasps)

Oh, god.

Oh, shit, no.

No, Papo.
No, no, no.

Papo.
No.

My mom got him
for me.

Had him
since I was 11.

- I'm so sorry, baby.
I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

- Don't be.

It's not
your fault.

I did it.

(eerie music)

(John sighs)

- I, I'm...

I'm not okay.

I'm trying really,
really hard to be okay,

but I think I'm not okay,
I think I'm...

I think I'm actually
losing my mind.

I mean,
Vivian lost her mind,

she tucked
her dead baby

into his crib for,
like, two weeks.

- Rach, you're not Vivian,
okay?

You know,
we're just...

stressed.

Parents of a
newborn baby.

- I'm seeing things.

I'm seeing
this woman,

this old,

hag witch woman

in the darkness,
in the mirror,

in the freaking baby store.
I'm going--

(chair clatters)

Well, I suppose,
wife's going bat-shit crazy,

that's how
I'd react too.

- No, Rach,

you are not
going crazy.

Did you see--
Is that what you saw?

Did you see
something like that?

- That's her. That's her.
- Yeah, okay.

The other morning,
in the shower,

same creepy image
got in my head.

- Right.

So, we're just,
what, like...

sleep-deprived,

freaking
cabin fever--

- Yeah,
probably.

Most likely.
Yeah.

- But that's
not what you believe.

No, you, no.

We're seeing...
Come on, we're seeing--

- Look, Rach, I believe in us.
Okay, that's all.

Whatever this is,
whatever's happening,

we're gonna
get through this.

Together, okay?

We a team.

- Yeah.

Yeah,
we a team.

- Yeah, and this is going
where it belongs.

- Yeah.

And Eli's sleeping
with us tonight.

(baby crying)

- Baby's crying.

(John sighs)

I'll get it.

I'll get it.
You sleep.

(tense suspenseful music)

(baby crying)

Okay.
Okay, buddy.

(door closes)

(baby crying)

I'm comin', Eli.

I'm comin'.

(baby crying)

(door slams shut)

(baby crying)

Eli?

(baby crying)

Eli?
Eli!

(baby crying)

What the...?

(baby stops crying)

- Hey, hey!
(scary bang)

You steal
from me, man.

That's bad karma,
man.

(door clicks open)
That's bad juju!

(door clicks shut)

(slow mysterious music)

(Eli crying)

- Hey, do you have
an alarm snooze--

snooze button
here?

(Eli crying)

(Rachel sings softly)

(ghostly voice echoes)

(Rachel sings softly)

(ghostly voice echoes)

(eerie music)

Eli?

(baby crying)

Eli?

Eli?

Eli?

(baby crying)

Eli, Eli.

Eli.
(scary whooshing)

(baby cries)

Eli.

(baby crying)

Eli.

(scary music)
(Rachel screams)

(panting)

(Rachel gasps loudly)

My baby, my baby,
my baby.

(Rachel laughs
with relief)

Yeah.

- Yeah.

- You gonna be
okay?

- Absolutely.

We're long overdue

for some father-son
bonding time anyway, right?

In the meantime,

Eli, he says he wants you
to relax, okay?

- Okay.
Thanks Eli.

- All right, bud,
here we go.

Opa. (sighs)

- Let me
get that.

Okay.
I love you.

- I love you more.

Bye.

(slow haunting music)

- Hi.
- Hello.

- Vivian Brown, please.
I'm her sister.

(birds chirping)

(door clicks open)

- Hey, John.

And the
little monster. Hi.

Hey. Hi.
(laughs)

What's happened?

(exhales sharply)

Do Jews
have exorcists?

- Come.
Sit.

(slow somber music)

(John sighs)

(birds chirping)

- Hey, Viv.

(slow somber music)

- Hi, Rachel.

- Can I sit?
- Of course.

- Rachel's sister,

Vivian,

came to me
with the same story,

the same questions.

- Vivian did?

What did
you tell her?

(scoffs)

You thought
she was crazy.

- Mom sent your stuff,
from storage.

- No. No, no. No, no.
I locked that stuff up.

Mom--

Mama should not
have done that.

- I found
the lullaby book.

- Did you
sing from it?

Rachel,
listen to me.

Zachary
was taken.

I sang that song,
and she came

and she took him.

- Who came?

Who is she?

- Lilith.

- Lilith

was the
first woman

made by God
to be Adam's wife.

- They would
lie together

in Eden,

and he would
sing her a song.

It was their
special song.

And whenever Lilith
heard that song

she'd come
running.

She loved Adam,

but she was a strong woman
and she refused to submit.

- The legend says

she was banished
from the Garden of Eden by God.

She roamed
the wilderness.

She lay
with wolves.

And gave birth to her own race
of imperfect creations.

- Deformed,

hungry, half human,
half--

half something else.

Lilith saw Adam and Eve
and their perfect babies,

and then she looked
at her own broken children.

And that's when she started
stealing their children.

Our children.

- And so it went
for generations,

until God listened

to the prayers
of Adam's progeny,

and he sent her

to the
underworld.

- You know the word lullaby
comes from Lilith-abi.

It means
"Lilith begone."

Mothers sing lullabies
to keep Lilith away.

But Lilith,
(chuckles)

Lilith took her
and Adam's song,

their special song,

and she
twisted it.

She turned it into a lullaby
that does the opposite.

It summons her.

I sang
that song,

and she came.

She took
my Zachary,

and that corpse
they found

that had been dead
for who knows how long, that--

that was not
my son.

I can help you,
Rachel.

I can help Eli.

I need
to help Eli.

- How?

- You have to get me
the fuck outta here.

- Rabbi, this woman,
Lilith--

- She's a myth.

What I'm telling you
are legends,

fables used for lessons
and guidance.

- Yeah, I know,
that's why I'm here.

Lilith, she's in your stories,
your fables.

(scoffs)

I'm telling you,
something's happening.

- And I wanna help.
- Then help.

There has to be
something.

A-a-a prayer you can give me.
I don't know, something.

- That isn't
how our religion works.

- Is this
what you told Vivian

when she came to you
looking for answers?

- There was nothing
I could do.

(Rabbi Simowitz sighs)

(John sighs)

(eerie music)

(music fades out)

- Rach,
we're home.

Hey, bud.

What do you say
we get out of that, huh?

And now we go
opa.

Oh, yeah, we're not gonna forget
this thing, right?

Yeah.
(chuckles)

Yeah, huh?
Rach?

(water splattering)

Shit.

Okay, buddy, I need you
to hang here, okay?

Opa. There we go.
You have the toy.

Okay?
Just for second.

Shit.

Shit.

(faucet squeaks)

(door bangs shut)

(deep foreboding music)

(Eli babbling)

(Quad Lilim gurgling)

(Eli giggles)

(Eli babbles)

(Quad Lilim grunts)

(Eli giggles)

(glass shatters)

Shit.

(water splattering)

(soft haunting music)

(glass clinks)

(dramatic boom)

(tense music)

(Eli screams)

- What, you just--
you left him?

- What?

No, I just-I just put him down
for a second.

The-the bathroom...

Is he okay?

Vivian.

- They're here.

(eerie music)

Lilith's servants.

We cover mirrors
after funerals

so our departed loved ones
don't stare at us

from the
afterlife.

So it is
with Lilith.

I thought that
breaking the mirrors would work,

but this
is better.

This is right.

- Right.

- Isn't she supposed to be
in the psych ward?

- Maybe.

- [John] So you thought
it was a good idea

to bring
your crazy sister here?

- [Rachel] Don't talk
about her like that.

- [John] Maybe this wasn't a
fire that needs gasoline, Rach.

- [Rachel] I just
thought after everything

we've been through
and experienced and, you know,

the book
was hers.

She-she-she
lost it.

- Exactly.
She lost.

She lost her baby.
She lost her husband.

She lost
her mind.

- I didn't
lose my baby.

That thing we buried
was not my child.

Lilith took
my little boy

and her Crone
killed my husband.

- I thought
a mirror fell on him.

- You don't have the
luxury of skepticism, John.

Not anymore.

You sang
her song,

and now
she is coming for Eli.

- What's
the plan here?

I mean, but how--
how do we protect our son?

- Don't take your eyes
off him.

And if you see
her Crone,

run.

(telephone rings)

Come with me.

Let's finish.

- Hello?

- [Man On Phone] I understand
you have a book.

- Who is this?

- [Man On Phone] Your rabbi said
you need help, John.

Get a pen.

- You're leaving?

- There's something
I have to do.

- Don't worry.
We'll keep Eli safe.

(Elevator arrival chime)

(engages lock)

I see congratulations
are in order.

- With everything
going on, I...

I don't think
I've even told Johnny.

That came
so easy.

(Eli fusses)

- What is it?

- No, this thought just
comes into my head sometimes.

I don't even wanna
say it out loud.

It's a horrible,
horrible thought.

What if this is the
universe's way of telling me

I'm not fit
to be a mom?

No, Rachel, no.

Don't you dare
question that.

This, this is exactly
what she does.

She gets
inside your head,

makes you ask if you deserve
to be Eli's mother,

makes you
lose faith.

You can't let her
take that bond away.

You are his mother
and you always will be.

I always
loved this lamp.

I'm glad
you kept it.

- Hey, where did the
lullaby book come from?

- Nowhere exciting.

Little antique shop
in West Nowheresville, Maine.

- Why didn't you
throw it away?

- Because it's real.

Because it proves
what happened.

(deep somber music)

(horn honks)

(deep somber music)

- It's Shabbes.

- Oh, right,
yeah.

I'm sorry.

Uh, I'm looking--

looking
for this address.

- The Dybbuk Man.

(other man spits
three times)

(deep somber music)

(siren blares
in distance)

(crickets chirping)

(pounding on door)

(pounding on door)

(John sighs)

- Unbelievable.

(sighs)

(door clangs)

- Rabbi Cohen's
waiting.

(door closes)

(woman sobbing deeply)

(Rabbi Cohen mumbles)

- My wife's parents

when she got
her tattoo.

- This is not classical Hebrew,
but neither is it modern,

probably from
a middle period.

- Oh.

Well, see,

Can't be older than
late 15th century, I'd say.

- Mm-hm.

Good.

in a Jewish cemetery.

And as for
the phone call,

with what
you're facing,

God will understand.

(crickets chirping)
(ominous music)

(creaking)

(ghostly grumblings)

You sang this song
to make your child sleep?

- My wife did,
yeah.

- It's a clever trap,

tricking you into
taking that first step,

giving the key
that first twist.

- First step?

- The first of three...
rituals.

Lilith is close,
she's watching you,

but the door's not
open for her yet.

The song
is the first ritual,

which calls her handmaid,
the Crone,

and her servants,
the Lilim.

- Lilim?

- Fucked up,
mutant babies.

- Mutant?

(scoffs)
Okay.

(eerie music)

(door creaks)

(Quad Lilim hissing)

(guttural sounds)

- The second ritual
is a blood sacrifice

of an unclean beast
to profane your home.

- Wait, right, uh,

what-what kind of rabbi
did you say you were?

- The kind that
saves your son.

Have you had any animals
that have died lately?

Pets,
that sort of thing?

- Yeah, I had a...

a cockatoo
that died.

It was
an accident.

- A parrot.

That's unclean.

- What's the
third step?

- The third step is you have
to spill the baby's blood.

- Well, that's
not gonna happen.

- Neither would
sacrificing your pet.

Don't you see?

The harbingers
are subtle.

They manipulate.

They live to open the door
for Lilith.

If Eli spills
one drop of blood,

Lilith will come
and she will take him,

and she will leave
an imposter,

a golem,
in his place.

(deep tense music)

(Wolf Lilim growls)

(Quad Lilim grunts)

(Wolf Lilim growls)

(slow mysterious music)

(Eli cries)

- Hey, what's up?
What's up?

What's up?
What happened?

What happened?
What happened, baby?

What, sh, sh,
sh, sh, sh, sh.

Okay, okay, okay.

♪ Hush little baby,
don't say a word ♪

(door bangs)
(Eli's head thuds)

(Rachel gasps)
(Eli screams)

Oh, my god, baby.
(Eli crying)

Oh, my god.
Oh, my god.

(scary bang)

- Hey,
are you okay?

(Eli crying)

- I hit his head.

I hit his head
I think.

(Eli crying)

- Sh.
- Oh, he's okay.

- Shush, shush.

Oh, Vivian,
I don't know what to do.

- Here, here,
let me take him.

Okay, okay.

Sh, sh, sh,
sh, sh.

(Eli fusses)

Oh, yes, oh.

Sh, sh, sh.

Yeah,
he's good.

Hi, there.

- I'm actually--
I'm gonna take a moment.

I'll be right back.

- Take your time.

Oh.
Bye, Mama.

- You need to
recite these words.

Stevie,
please.

Those candles must burn
until dawn.

Lilith cannot come
into holy light.

You must
do these things

until the first light
on Shabbes.

Then,
and only then,

will Lilith be driven
from your home.

- So, it's like
splashing some holy water

and saying
the Our Father?

- Wake up, man.

This is about
saving your son.

Tell me, John,
why did you convert?

- Love.

And my mother-in-law.
(scoffs)

- Unfortunately,
Lilith isn't that easily fooled.

She can tell the difference
between apathy

and a true believer.

Take this.

It professes
your faith, John.

Lilith is strong,

but she's not
as strong as faith.

And that's something
you're going to need to muster.

(paper rustling)

(John sighs)

(hand thuds)
(eerie boom)

This stays here.

It is
a thing of darkness

and does not belong
in this world.

(deep somber music)

Go with God.

(chair scrapes floor)

(slow somber music)

(glasses clatter
to desk)

- Is everything okay?

- [Vivian] Yep.
He's getting ready to snooze.

(Rachel sighs)

(slow foreboding music)

- Nebech.

Poor motherfucker.

(water splatters)

(Rachel sighs)

(car engine revs)

(slow haunting music)

(Eli babbling)

- Hi, honey.

Yeah,
I got you.

This is

- I don't understand.

- When Lilith
comes for your son,

I'll get
my Zachary back.

- You wanted
this to happen?

- Not want.

I needed it to.

- You, you told Mom
to send me the lullaby book.

You wanted me
to sing it.

- Yes.

No.

A bit of both,
Rach.

Every night
since Eli was born,

I sat there
praying that you'd sing

and praying
that you wouldn't.

- Give him
to me.

- She'll come.

We'll follow her
into the dark,

and we'll bring them
both home,

Eli and Zachary.

- If you hurt him--

- It's just
a little pin prick.

We're not gonna
find them like this.

Hey, you're not gonna
find him like this.

- Get off me!
- You're not gonna find him

like this,
you need to call his name.

He needs
to hear your voice.

Call your son.
