Son (2021) - full transcript

My God!

You don't know death
before your God.

Do you understand the horror
that's gonna fill your soul?

Seeing and Satan...

What, you think that you're
just gonna live forever,

until you realize...

...and sorrow
and burning in hell!

Can you imagine what
that will be like?

Can't change it.
Can't change your life.

You may be dead
before the sun goes down!

No, no, no, no, no!



No, no, no, no!

No, no! No!

Fuck! No! No!

I don't want you!

I don't want you! No!

No! No! No! No! No!

Ooh...

Officials and decision-makers

across the state.

The Gallo Radio Show

on SuperTalk Mississippi.

Race ya!

You can't just announce a race
and not give me a chance.

That is completely unfair.



- And the judge rules...
- And I'll race you back!

Get your butt over here.
We have to go to school.

You're gonna be late.

Fine. Fine.

March it.

Hey!

Oh, hey, guys!

- Oh, hey, Susan!
- Hey, David.

Um, you still good to
pick him up today, right?

Yeah. No problem.

I have that late class tonight,
so...

it'll be later than usual.

I'll see you guys later.

- Bye!
- Thank you.

Alright.
Don't forget your seatbelt.

Yep.

- Mom...
- Yeah.

...I need to ask you
something serious.

What?

If you had eight arms,

what would you do
with the extra ones?

Would you hide them
down your top?

Or show them off?

- Aaah! No, no, no! Stop!
- You're such a little butt!

Why would you
scare me like that?

I'm serious!

Seriously.

- I'm serious.
- Okay. Okay.

I will take it seriously,
but I need to think about it,

because I'm gonna
take it extra seriously.

Think about it
while your driving...

- I will.
- ...because school starts

- in five minutes.
- We'll get there.

Okay. Go.
Have a good day.

I love you.

Bye, Mom.

Love you.

Hey!

I wouldn't hide
my eight arms down my top.

I would just show them off
and call myself a spider lady.

Good answer, Mom.

"A" is for...

Apple!

Beautiful.

"B" is for...

Ball!

Fabulous!

"C" is for cow.

Excuse me!

A child with PTSD will often
have a intense focus on death.

And while it is normal

for some kids
to be curious about death,

others with trauma

will often develop
an obsession with it

and worry excessively
about their own safety,

or the safety
of their loved ones.

Mommy!

- Hi, munchkin.
- Hey.

- How'd it go? Good?
- It was great.

We just ate, and he finished
all of his homework.

- Amazing. Thank you.
- All of my homework.

- For the rest of the week!
- Good job, buddy.

Thank you, Susan.
We'll see you tomorrow, okay?

- See you. Bye, David!
- Bye!

Mom, can I play
video games before bed?

Maybe.

Mom...

Yeah, sweetie.

I need my gym clothes tomorrow.

I already have them
waiting for you.

Thanks, Mom.
You're the best.

You're welcome.

- Now go to bed.
- Wait, wait, wait.

Don't shut off the night light.

Just in case there's zombies
hiding in the dark.

That's why we're not
supposed to play scary games

before we go to bed.

- Uh...
- Um...

Okay.

Goodnight.

David?

I told you
you were gonna get scared.

What do you know.
Come on in.

You can sleep with me tonight.

Oh, come on.

Mommy loves when
you sleep in her bed.

Don't feel bad.

David!

David, wake up!

Help!

Help, somebody!

Somebody, help, please!

Help!

Help!

Susan...

Susan, help!

Help! Susan! Susan!

Help!

Susan, hurry, hurry!

Susan!

There are people in my house.
Call the police!

There are people
in David's room.

- Laura, who do I call?
- Call the police!

Okay!

David.

David! David! David! David!

David. David.

David, wake up.

Wake up. Can you hear me?

David, can you hear me?

Mom?

Alright. Alright.

So I'll check these,
your neighbor's,

and your son's off
the prints that I found.

Um...

We couldn't find any evidence
of forced entrance

on any of the windows or doors.

Could you have left
a window or a door open,

do you think?

No.

I always lock the doors
and the windows,

and then I double check
that I locked them,

and then do that
again and again.

So, no, no.

I'm OCD that way.

Is there a spare key, perhaps?

Does a neighbor or anyone
have a spare?

No.

Did you lose a key?

Or have one stolen?

Uh...

No, I don't... No.

No. No. Mnm-mnm.

Think you could
have been dreaming?

A lucid dream, maybe?

Maybe you went into
your son's room sleepwalking,

stripped him,
went back to your room.

It can happen.

No, I've never sleepwalked
a day in my life.

It happened.

Those people were here.
It was real.

Have you been
under stress lately?

Recent break-up,
loss of a loved one?

Why do you think these people
were here? Who were they?

I don't know. You tell me.
You're the police.

Uh, Steve, w... why don't you
head back to the station.

I'll... I'll finish up here.

Copy that.

Those people were here, alright?

Those people were here.
It happened.

I did not imagine it.

I believe you.

You do?

Yeah.

Now, the doctors...

they couldn't find anything
physically wrong with your son.

So, my guess is that
you interrupted these people

just before they had time to do
whatever they wanted to do.

- Right.
- But don't worry, okay?

We'll fucking get them.

Excuse me.

What are you doing?

I was sleeping.

I'm sorry.

Were there really people
in my room?

You don't remember anything?

No.

Do you remember if you
took your jammies off...

in the middle of the night?

I'm not sure.

Sweetie, this is very,
very, very important.

I need you to remember...

if you took your jammies off
in the middle of the night.

I think I did.

I was too hot.

Okay.

That's okay.

Mom?

Yeah.

I was dreaming.

What about?

I was drowning.

I was drowning
in a river of blood.

Alright.
Exactly like that.

You dip it...

I did it.

...and you flick it.

You didn't find a single print?

Other than you, your neighbor,

and your son's, no.

Are you okay?

Sort of.

Alright.

Well, it's gonna take you
a while to get back to normal.

People breaking into your home
is just such a... violation.

You know, my son...
he said that he could have

taken his pajamas off
in the middle of the night.

He said that
he does that sometimes.

But those people...

Those people were there.

If you need anything...

here's my card.

Call me anytime, okay?

Oh, thank you, Detective Tate.

Yeah.
Oh, you can call me Paul.

Wake up honey.

Mom?

Yeah.

I have a headache

- and my stomach feels sick.
- Okay.

Well, it's probably 'cause you
haven't eaten anything today.

That's probably why.

And if you still feel sick
in the morning,

I will take you to the doctor.

Don't worry.

I got you.

Got to sleep.

Nothing.

Here you go. It's...

I didn't know if you
wanted sugar or...

You know, I really don't think

they're gonna be back here,
Laura.

I mean, whoever they were,

they must know that...
the police are watching.

I saw them, though.

But I'm thinking
that they must have came in

through the back garden.

Right?
It's the only explanation left.

So...

I'll have my guys check
for footprints in the morning.

I have a feeling that
they'll come with something.

Right.

Mom?

David, are you okay?

It really hurts.

Jesus. What is that?

David.

David...

I'll just, uh...

I'll wait out here, okay?

Can you stay?

I just want someone
to be with me.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

We thought at first,
it was bacterial meningitis,

as the symptoms
are quite similar,

but the tests
turned up negative.

Because of the severe
gastrointestinal bleeding,

we checked for trauma, tumors,

ulcerative colitis,
and parasites.

Negative.

We then tested for all other
viral and bacterial infections

and various diseases,
including tropical diseases,

known degenerative diseases,
poisons, and narcotics...

but everything
turned up negative.

Oh.

Okay. So...?

So...

Laura...

can I be honest with you?

As a parent myself,
if I were in your position,

I know that's what I'd want.

We don't know what this is.

We're still testing,

and, of course,
we'll continue to test,

but I'm afraid time
is against us.

His condition is worsening
by the second,

and we can hardly keep up.

I think you should prepare
yourself for the possibility...

the distinct likelihood that
David isn't gonna wake up.

I'm sorry.

Uh...

Those people... Those...
Those... Those people.

Those people that
were in his room...

Th-They gave him something then.

Poison.

Well, like I said,
we checked for poisons.

W-Well, then something else.

- Like what?
- I don't know.

Something else...
Something that doesn't show up.

I don't know what that is.

Paul, does this make any sense?

I...

Laura, I assure you,
if someone gave him something,

it would have shown up.

There's nothin'.

Mommy's
right here.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry that this is
happening to you, baby.

I'm so sorry
I couldn't do anything

to help make it better.

If you have to go...

then it's okay.

I know you do.

I know you hurt.

I know you hurt.

Help, somebody!

Nurse, doctor, somebody!

Get in here!

Help! Help!

Yeah, I-I don't know
what's happening.

I think
he's coughing up blood again.

- I'll get the doctor.
- Hurry! Hurry, please!

Hurry, please!
Hurry, please! Hurry!

Baby, can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

Help, somebody!
Doctor, hurry, please!

David. David!

David, it's Dr. Bond.
Open your eyes.

Open your eyes.
Can you hear me?

Mommy...

Hi, baby.

Mommy...

Hi, sugar.

Eat an apple...
It makes me happy.

'Cause apples are the candy

of the forest.

You've been
working on it all dinner.

I think it's time
to unveil it to us.

Thank you so much.
What do you say?

Thanks.

- She gave you fortune cookies.
- Fortune cookies.

Thank you!

Well,
I wonder what the fortune is.

This is
my zombie-killing sword.

It has six spikes.

- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
- Eat you fortunate cookie, man.

- Look at your fortune.
- Oh, yeah.

Mine says...

you will one day
achieve greatness.

- Huh?
- You hear that?

- Ooh!
- That sounds pretty good.

"Money can't buy everything.

You can buy a doctor,
but you can't buy health."

- Wow.
- I don't get it.

What does yours say?

"Do something unusual today."

I got to go to the bathroom.

Do you know where it is?

It's literally
right over there.

Okay.

It's amazing.

It's like he was
never even sick at all.

Yeah, the doctors still
have no idea what it was.

We're just...

We're chalking
it up to a miracle.

I'm happy before you.

I think that, um...

I'm gonna put the house
on the market.

I think we're gonna sell
and just get out of here.

You know,
start over someplace new.

Laura, I feel that whatever
happened was a one off,

and that...

I mean, that's your home.

Right?

You can't get scared
out of your home.

Yeah.

Yah!

Aaah!

Can we just go?

Can you take a few bites?

No.

David, you haven't
eaten anything today.

We don't want it.

I'm not hungry.

He's completely exhausted.

He's out cold.

Well, he's had a long...

a long day, huh?

He's fond of you.

- You think?
- Yeah.

Yeah, I can tell.

He doesn't like everyone.

Thank you,
Paul, for everything.

It's been...

Thank you.

You're welcome, you know.

Just doing my job,

- I'll get out here.
- Wait. Just...

Can you say?

Laura...

you're safe here.

I promise you,
you don't have anything...

You don't have anything
to worry about, okay?

I promise.

- I don't know if...
- Just stay, please.

I... I-I like you, Laura.

Just say just tonight.

Are you sure about this?

Alright.

What happened?

A junkie cut me up
the other night.

It's one of the perks
of the job.

David?

- No...
- We're still testing.

We have a lot
more testing to do.

Dr. Bond, I called you
three times over the weekend.

I called you three times,

and I said that
he wasn't eating.

He wasn't drinking.

He was doing all of these things

that he had done before,
before he got sick.

And you said he's fine.
You said he's totally fine.

W-Why would anything else
be wrong with him?

- This is a miracle.
- I need you to stay stay calm.

- He's not fine!
- I need you to stay stay calm.

Stay calm?
Oh, my God.

I can get you something
to help you relax.

No.

Paul...

I haven't been completely honest
with you about everything.

I was raised in a cult.

I...

escaped eight years ago,

and...

I... I wasn't sure

if it was them,

but now I know.

They were the people
that were in his room.

I know there were people

- that started all of this.
- Laura.

You can come in now.

Laura...?

Please.
Please stay with us.

Laura.

You have no idea what
they're capable of.

Okay.

Yeah.

Shhhh.

Say the words.

They're waiting for us
downstairs.

We have to handle it quietly.

Wait till she falls asleep.

The boy is the priority.

- You understand?
- Yes, sir.

- Do you understand?
- Yes, doctor.

Okay, baby.

Okay. Okay.

I got you, baby.

I got you, baby.

Okay. Shh.

Shh. Shh.

Shh, baby.
Shh. I know.

Everything alright back there?

Okay, baby.

Alright. Okay.

I'm just gonna run next door,

and I'm gonna get money
and clothes a-and my car,

and then I'll be right back,
okay?

No. No, Laura.
I can't be a party to that.

You have to take him back.

Just let him lie here
for a few minutes, Susan.

- Look at him.
- You saw at the hospital,

They did nothing for him.
They did nothing.

Just let him like here
for a few minutes,

and I'll be back in a few.

What if I take him back
while you're gone?

You would not do that

because you are a friend.

You're our friend, okay?

Okay. Please just take care
of him while I'm gone.

I'll be back.

Come closer.

- Laura, where are you?
- Don't ask me any questions.

Just meet me outside of
David's school in an hour, okay?

Laura, everyone
is looking for you.

Just promise me, Paul!

Promise me.

Okay.
I-I'll see you there.

Don't trust anybody.
Everybody is in on it.

Everybody... The doctors,
everybody at the hospital.

"In on it"?
What, in the cult?

They're gonna be coming for us.

Bring your gun.

Laura...

Susan!

Dav...

David...

I feel better now, Mom.

Towel is so warm.

Okay.

Mom...

are we staying
with Susan tonight?

No, I just need you
to rest right now,

so that's what we're gonna do.

Okay?

Okay. I'll try.

Cool.

I love you, Mom.

I love you, too, sweetie.

This is a cool room.

Mom, look what's on.

Hey, buddy,
that's not for you.

Turn that off.
You know that.

I've see this one,
but it's super funny.

Mom...

Do you think that
this room has fleas?

- No.
- I don't think it does.

Try to get some sleep,
okay, bud?

Okay. A couple more minutes.

And then right to bed, okay?

Okay. Fine.

Police say the mother
seen here in this photograph

with her son has a history
of a mental illness

and may have suffered
a complete mental breakdown...

Mom... we're on TV.

...the degenerative disease

is returned to hospital
within 48 hours...

I'm scared.

Police appeal to
the public to stay vigilant...

Mom... are we going?

Is Forensics here yet?

No, sir, not yet.

Got a good one.

Take a look.

Mm-hmm.

Think she's dead?

ICK Kansas Radio has

just received further
weather reports

from the Kansas City area.

Where are we going?

We're going to see
an old friend of mine.

Who?

Somebody that I knew
when I was a kid.

Why?

He'll definitely be able to help
me remember a few things just...

a little bit more clearly.

I'll have
the first autopsy report

ready for you within the hour.

Better take a look at this.

So, should I ask for
a new partner on this?

No, I'm fine.

Are you in a relationship
with Laura?

What?

What are you talking...

Are you fucking her
or are you not?

Okay.

- We made out, Steve.
- Mm-hmm.

But does that mean
I'm in a relationship? No.

She couldn't have done this.
Okay? I know she couldn't.

She was in a fuckin'
mental institution, right?

For trauma.

So, who did it then?

- This cult.
- Was a pedophile ring

And maybe that's what she meant.

There are pedophile cults.
They're fucking cults, Steve.

They're crazy.
They'll do anything.

They could have killed Susan
trying to get to the boy,

or trying to silence Laura.

Pedophile cults.

Let's just find her
and bring her in.

If this is real,
she needs our protection.

And what if it's not?

Then at the very least,

we need to find the boy

and bring him back to
the hospital before he dies.

Hi, Mrs. Naegle.

It's... It's me.
It's Anna. Anna Hansen.

I know who you are.

Is that the boy?

Is that your father...

This is...

He doesn't know anything...

Know about what, Mom?

Nothing, sweetheart.

Do you wanna listen
to some music

while Mrs. Naegle and I
talk about something, okay?

- Okay.
- Okay.

Poor child.

How could something so beautiful
and innocent like you...

come out of such evil?

She's crazy.

Mrs. Naegle...

um...

I...

really need to talk to Jimmy.

Do you know where he is?

When did you get out
of the institution, Anna?

A while ago.

We lost Jimmy to drugs.

He's been in and out of prison
these past five years.

He stole from me
a couple times

and drove his father
to an early grave.

You know, for years...

I blamed you

for what happened,

for introducing him
to your father.

Then, of course,
that's ridiculous.

You were just a child,
like Jimmy.

It wasn't your fault.

Please.

I really need
to know where he is.

I'm sorry.

He went south.

Clarksdale, Mississippi.

An awful place.

Calachmont Square.

Can I help you?

Hi, uh, Tracy.

I'm looking for a doctor

by the name
of Nathan J. Bradlee.

I'm afraid Dr. Bradlee retired
a couple of years ago.

- You know where I can find him?
- I'm sorry,

I don't think I'm supposed
to give out that information.

Oh, it's okay. He's not in
trouble or anything like that.

I'm a police officer.

I just need to ask him
a couple of questions.

Are there patients here?

It's awfully quiet.

People always
expect screaming,

but the patients here
are quiet mostly,

I find that scarier.
Don't you?

This place gives me the creeps.
I have nightmares about it.

Why do you work here then?

It's better than McDonalds.

Yeah, well...
that's a good point.

Watch your step.
It's a big one.

- Okay.
- There's a dog.

There is a dog.

Doesn't the garbage man
ever come here?

I don't think so, babe.

Don't touch anything, okay?

And especially
when we go inside.

Don't touch anything.

Okay.

Okay.

I don't feel so good.

We're gonna be out of here
in a few minutes, okay?

Jimmy.

Hi.

Anna?

Can I speak with you
for a minute?

Who's that?

Uh, this is my son, David.

He's from a previous marriage.

Can you say hi to Jimmy?

This was Mommy's friend
when I was a kid.

You want to say hi?

Hi.

Do you mind if we come in?

Anna was
the most extraordinary case.

She had suffered such
terrible abuse in her life

that she had retreated
into a fantasy world.

Was Anna psychotic?

She had an extreme
psychotic episode, yes.

The truth is that
her father would pimp her out

to other men for money,

her and a little local boy

named Jimmy Naegle.

Well, Laura... or... Anna

thinks that this cult
may still be out there.

- She thinks...
- There was never any cult,

no conspiracy
or any other fantasies

that she's now trying
to perpetuate.

It was all in our head.

What happened
to the other child?

I was born dead.

I-I-I really wanted to go
and see you at the hospital,

Anna, b-but...
but they wouldn't let me in.

They tried to tell me
I was crazy, too,

but I wouldn't
let them lock me up.

Those psychiatrics,
they fuck you up in the head.

Yeah, they had me
on so many medications

that when I was discharged,
I couldn't remember anything.

Was it like that for you?

No.

I-I remember it all.

What do you remember?

You... You happen
to have a light on you?

- I-I don't have mine.
- No, Jimmy, I don't.

I'm sorry.

Please.

They... They'd conduct
these ceremonies

where they'd kill and torture
animals in front of us.

U-Usually in your bedroom.

T-Then they'd make you
begin your chanting.

Chanting?

You were the only one
who could do it.

That's why they said
you were special,

th-th-they all tried,

but you were the only one.

Your father taught you.

Taught me?

What did he teach me?

They called your Palestine.

The Huntsman.

Th-The demon.

You'd make him rise from Hell.

T-Then they'd let
the Huntsman rape you.

Jimmy, that can't...

that can't be.

You know it's true, Anna.

You know I'm telling the truth.

I wouldn't...
I wouldn't lie to you.

My father is the one
that raped me.

I remember that.

I remember those men.

Th-They're false memories.

You were sacred, Anna.

Th-Th-They would have
never dared touch you.

You were meant for the demon...

Shh!

- You were abused.
- No, that never happened!

I didn't happen like that.

Okay?

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Jimmy, I'm afraid, though.

I'm really afraid.

Because if I...

if I let all these things
back into my brain...

that just means that I'm
slipping back into psychosis,

which is exactly what
the doctor said would happened.

Everything I've said is true.

Mom...
my skin hurts here.

You're as sane as I am, Anna.

Everything hurts.

Where are you?

I'm headed home. I just
passed through Little Rock.

Any luck with Jimmy?

Yeah.
I talked to his mother

Laura followed him
to Clarksdale.

Fuckin' Mississippi?

Yeah. Look, I'll meet
you there in the morning.

Wait for me. I'm about
three hours behind you.

We should talk to him together.

Alright.

I don't like it here.

We're not gonna
be here long, okay?

Just till
we figure out what to do.

When I say drink this shit,
drink it.

Better drink that.
There you go.

- I know.
- Get the fuck off me.

What's up, mama?

Why don't you come over
and hang out with us.

Come on.

We'll have some fun with you.

There you go, really slow.

Really, really, really slow.
Really slow.

I know, sugar.

I know.
There you go.

There you go.

Okay. Okay.

Okay. Shh.

It hurts!

It hurts so bad!

- Shh.
- I'm scared, Mom!

I don't want to die.

Hey, none of that.

You're not going to die.

I am right here.

You are gonna be okay.

Okay?

Shh.

Sing that song that you
used to sing for me.

Okay.

So close those eyes.

No, shhh!

Wake up, honey.

It's time again.

Say the words.

Mom, it hurts!

- It hurts!
- Shh!

It hurts so bad!
I'm gonna die!

- Okay. Okay. Okay.
- I'm gonna die!

Mom, come back!

Mom!

Mom, get me some food!

Get me some fuckin' food,
you bitch!

Get me some food!

I need it!

Okay. Okay.

Okay. Okay.

Okay. Okay.

Okay. It's okay.

Okay. Hey...

Hey. Hey.

Baby...

Okay.

Okay. Okay.

Shh.

Shh, shh.

Shh, shh.

Shh, shh.

I need food.

I...

need...

food.

I need food.

Please, Mom.

By Astaroth, your prince,

by your master Lucifer...

appear before me now.

That's my girl.

I want my fuckin' money!

Yeah, you got it.
I know you fuckin' do.

You owe me that fuckin' money!

Bitch!

Yeah, see, I knew you got it!

Bitch!

The fuck are you looking at?

Huh?!

What can I do for you,
little mama?

I'd like for you
to come to my room and fuck me.

Not here.

I want to do it in the bathroom.

I... I want you to
take yours off first.

I wanna...

I wanna look at your body.

Take your fuckin' clothes off!

Now!

Take that fuckin' shirt off!

Aaah! Get off me!

Help! Help!

Get off me!

Get this off of me!

David: Mommy, wake up.

I love you, Mom.

I blow the man down ♪

- Mom?
- Yeah?

Can we do something fun
tomorrow?

We haven't done something fun
in forever.

Uh, maybe, sweetie.

I don't know. We...
We kind of have to leave soon.

Just sit there
and watch your cartoons, okay?

Okay.

♪ Or give him some time

And so you can't
trust anyone these days.

Can you... Can you do me a favor
and get down on the floor?

- Why?
- Just for a minute.

I just have to do something,
okay?

Ohh.

Okay.

Jimmy.

Jimmy, we're police officers.
We'd like to speak to you.

Jimmy?

Jimmy, your mother told
us where we could find you.

We're looking for Anna Hansen.
Has she been here?

Jimmy, it's the police.

Shit.

Yeah.

Got an address?

Copy that.

She used her credit card
to check out of a nearby motel

at 4:00 a.m.,
just around the corner.

We got to call local PD.

Alright.

- Mom?
- Hmm?

I was dreaming.

I was flying and I was
looking down at everyone.

And I could see you
and my school and everything.

It was so cool.

Sounds cool.

Then I raised my hands
like this,

and the world cracked in half.

There was fire and everything.

Buildings were burning.

People were screaming like 9/11.

Were you scared?

Uh-huh.

But I was okay.

I was like a superhero
or something.

Wow.

Like that blue guy that was
in the movie we saw.

Yeah.

Nothing could touch me.

Mm-hmm.

Sweet pea.

You know how you've been sick?

Uh-huh.

- So...
- What about it?

Your illness...

it seems that it's getting
closer and closer every time.

Which means that you're gonna
probably get sick again

really soon.

Okay, it's gonna come on
really quick,

and it's gonna be
really painful.

But you're gonna help me, right?

I'm gonna be here by your side

holding your hand.

But I'm not gonna
be able to help.

- Why not?
- Because I can't.

I can't do anything.

Mom, stop crying.

Please.

- I hate it when you cry.
- Shh.

Do you want to
do something fun today?

There's a carnival
that's nearby.

It's inside,
and they have a carousel.

I want to go.
I want to go.

Can we?

Yeah, we can go.

Yes.

We can go when it gets dark.
Okay?

Okay.

Okay, now go to sleep.

Is it dark yet?

No.

Laura was seen last night taking
this pimp to her motel room.

You know it's her
doing this, right?

Nobody's following her around

killing everybody
that she meets.

It's her.
No fucking satanic cult.

No pedophile ring.
It's her.

Tell them to go easy on her,
Steve, when they find her.

Even if she's the one
doing this,

she may not know it herself.

- I tripped.
- Way off.

I tripped a little.

Aah!

You okay?
What's going on, baby?

Let me see, let me see.

Jesus.

Come on, come on.

It's okay.

I'm right here, baby.

I'm right here with you.
Come on.

We're almost there.
We're almost there.

Come on. Come on.

It's okay, baby. You're good.
You're good. Okay, okay.

You're okay. You're okay.
You're okay, sugar.

You're okay.

No, no, no, don't look at that.
Don't look at that.

I know it hurts.
I know it hurts, but look at me.

Look at me. Look at me.
Look at me.

It doesn't have to hurt.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Don't look down.
Just look at me.

Look at me.
I'm right here with you.

- Mom.
- No.

- Aah! It hurts, Mom!
- I know. I know. I know. I know.

- I need help.
- I'm sorry, baby.

Are you really
not gonna help me?

- I can't.
- What if I die?

I need help.

I can't.
I can't.

- But, Mom!
- I need you to trust me.

Mom!

- Get the boy.
- Get the boy.

Hey, Laura.

Stop!

- Mom!
- David, David, are you okay?

Mom.

I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.

Move your hand.
I got it, I got it.

I got it.

Fuck. It won't stop.

Please help me.

It's okay. It's okay.
Lift up your head.

Lift up your head.
Lift up your head.

No, no, stay with me.

Look at me, look at me,
look at me.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

No.

Look, don't be scared.

We have to go.

Laura, hello?

Paul, I don't know what to do

or who to turn to.

Okay, Laura...

I did not mean to kill him.

I did not mean
to kill your friend

or any of those men,
I swear to you.

Your friend, he died in my arms.

You have to turn yourself in,
Laura.

I still might
be able to help you, okay?

I-I-I know you're not well.

I just panicked and
I fired and I did not mean to.

Laura.

Just tell me where you are.

I have to go back now.

No. Go... Go back where?

Back where it all started.

- No, no, Laura.
- Goodbye, Paul.

Listen carefully to me, okay?

Everything that you think
has been happening

and is true is not, okay?

It's all fantasy.
It's all in your head.

- I'm sorry.
- Wait, don't hang up.

Fuck!

Can you hear me?
Can you hear me, baby?

Okay, David,
whatever I say in there,

whatever I do, just know
that I love you, okay?

Mm-hmm.

You are my son.

You are my only son.

And I love you and I will always
take care of you.

Okay?

Okay, baby, come on.
Come on.

I know. I know. I know. I know.

There we go.
There we go.

By Astaroth your prince,
by your master Lucifer,

by all the kings, queens,
and princes of hell,

I command you, appear before me.

Great Palystes, I conjure you.
Appear before me now.

You are my servant.
Do my bidding.

I-I want you... to come here.

I know you can hear me.

I want you to come here
and I want you to cure my son.

Our son.

I know you can hear me.

Cure him.

Or I'll kill him.

- Mom.
- I know. Shh, baby. Shh.

By Astaroth your prince,
by your master Lucifer,

by all the kings, queens,
and princes of hell,

I command you, appear before me.

Great Palystes, I conjure you.
Appear before me now.

You are my servant.
Do my bidding.

Show yourself!

Mom, no.

- Shh, baby.
- Please don't.

I'll kill him.

By Astaroth your prince,
by your master Lucifer,

by all the kings, queens,
and princes of hell,

I command you, appear before me.

Great Palystes, I conjure you.
Appear before me now.

You are my servant.
Do my bidding.

By Astaroth your prince,
by your master Lucifer,

by all the kings, queens,
and princes of hell,

I command you, appear before me.

Great Palystes, I conjure you.
Appear before me now.

You are my servant.
Do my bidding.

Laura.

What are you doing?

Drop the knife, ma'am,
or I'll shoot.

Hold on.
Stay the fuck back!

I summoned him.
I summoned him.

He was here.
He was gonna cure David.

Okay.

This is Detective Tate.
Nobody move.

Hold your fire.
I got this.

Laura.

You don't understand.

He's not human.

He's killed, Paul,
and he's going to kill again.

Laura.

Put the knife down.

Stay back!

Show yourself!

Come back! Come back!
Please, come back!

Laura.

He was here.
Fuck!

Fuck! He was here. He was here.
He was right here.

You made him go away, Paul.
You made him go away.

And now I'm going to
have to kill him.

I have her.
I have a clean shot.

Don't fire.
Nobody fucking move!

On that night when they came
into his room,

they fed him human flesh.

I know that now.

That wasn't real, Laura.

None of that was real.
You imagined everything.

They awakened something in him,
something that was always there.

It was waiting.

Laura, I can help you, okay?

I know what happened to you,
your terrible childhood,

why you are the way you are

and why you did
the terrible things you did.

Please, Laura, let me help you.

I can't.
Paul, I can't.

I can't let him live like this.

You don't understand.

I can't let him live.
I love him too much.

I love him too much.

Mom, stop.

I can't.
He's his father's son.

Put the knife down, Laura.

- I'm sorry, Paul.
- Don't.

I love you, David.

Mommy.

Mommy.

Mommy, please.

Wake up.

Please.

Please.

Please, Mommy.

Wake up.

David.

It's me.

It's Paul.

Hey.

I want you to know
that I'm here for you.

I'm here to protect you.

And also...

...to make you better again.

Code blue, room 305.

I want you to know that no one
can ever know anything

about you or who you are.

Don't you worry.

I took care of everything.

I want you to know...

that you will never be alone.

You are never gonna
be alone again.

And I got...

...a little surprise for you,
David.

Someone is here to see you.

Hey.

It's your father.

Daddy.
