I could not find a spatula
anywhere...

so I had to use a fork and
I don't know, it didn't go well.

Here, can you take him?Oh, yeah.

Here you go. You sure?I got him. I got him, baby.

How you feeling?Sore.

Hello! Mm-mm!

Oh, yeah.

It sucks you're going
back already.

I know, I know.

Mm...[JACK] What?

No good?

Oh, no, did I-- did I not cook
them all the way through?



[JACK] I'm so sorry.Don't worry about it, babe.

You're perfect.

[ SIGHS ]

Are you forgetting something?

No, no, I don't think so.

I got my keys, my briefcase--
I'm good.

Okay, okay, get away from me,
you weirdo!

You guys have fun today.

Try not to get lost in there.

Babe, your butt looks cute
in those pants.

[JACK]
Not as cute as yours!

[ MUSIC PLAYING ]

[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]

[ SIGHS ]

Oh, for Christ's sakes.

How do you still have anything
left in you?

She's adorable.Oh, thank you.

She's a "he" actually.

Oh, uh, I'm so sorry, I--

Oh God, who cares. You can't
tell anything at this age.

How old is he... she...?

He, uh, he's almost a week.

He's so tiny.

Yeah, well, he didn't feel
tiny coming out.

Hey, did you move in
to the big yellow house?

Yeah, yeah, that's us.

Oh, shit, I feel like such
a bad neighbor...

we saw the moving trucks...

and we never came to introduce
ourselves. I'm Rachel.

Uh, Mary... so you live
next door?

Yeah, to the, uh, right, yeah.

That's great.

[ BABY CRYING ]Awesome.

I should get him back.

He's gotta eat and I'm pretty
sure he just shit himself.

We should totally set up
a play date.

Yeah, yeah, I would like that.

All right, well, I will be
in touch.

Bye!Bye.

Here... just give him
one of these.

No, not yet.

Babe, you can try again
tomorrow. He's gotta eat.

He's done it before.

Here, come on.

Just give him to me.

Okay.

Give this a try.

There you go.

Good job, buddy. Look at that!

Hungry guy.

[ DEVICE BUZZING ]

[ DISTANT AIR APPROACHING ]

Bye, sweetheart!

[ CRYING INTENSIFIES ]

[ EERIE MUSIC PLAYING ]

[ CRYING CONTINUES ]

[ TWO BABIES CRYING ]

[ CRYING CONTINUES ]

Ssh... ssh.

[ CRYING STOPS ]

Ssh... ssh.

[ SMOKE ALARM BLARING ]

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

Mm, this is good.

I think the baby monitor's
broken.

Really? I just bought that.

We need a new one.

All right, I'll pick one
up tomorrow.

You feeling okay?

I'm just tired.

Do you want me to take him
tonight?

No, it's fine, you got work.
I'll be okay.

So, listen, I've been
thinking...

we should probably, you know,
take down that other crib.

No.

Come on, Mary--

[MARY] This is amazing.

I'm not going to lie,
this thing is terrifying.

Looks like a little demon baby.

Jaaaacckkkk.

Stop it, you're such a dork.

Good night.Good night.

[ ADAM CRYING OVER MONITOR ]

[WOMAN'S VOICE]
Wor--

Mommy's got you.

Ssh... ssh.

It's just me. It's just me.

Babe--It's okay.

There's something in here.

What?

Someone's in here.It's okay, come here.

No, there's something in here.
There's something in here.

It was just me, sweetheart.There's something--

It was just me. I'm sorry.

Ssh, ssh.

Well, you know, it's just
night terrors, hun.

I mean, what do you expect...

after everything that's
happened?

Are you getting enough sleep?
You look tired.

No, Mom, clearly I'm not.

Well, you know, just try
and sleep when he sleeps.

I guess it's probably a good
thing there's only one.

Mary!

I'm sorry... I don't know why
I said that.

It's okay, you've been
through a lot.

Have you gone for a check-up?

Oh, we've got an appointment
soon.

No, I mean for you.

You know, Jack offered to fly
me out there...

to help you out for a few
weeks.

You and Jack spoke?

He's worried about you.

I don't know why you had to
have kids so young.

I'm fine...

Richard's got a small dick,
so he has to make up for it...

in other ways, like getting
this giant house.

What about you? How do you
become a Stepford housewife?

Well, Jack became partner
at the firm.

So, I guess we can afford things
like this now.

You'll get used to it.

One a week...

I'm allowed one a week.

Oh, no, I'm good, thanks.

You're missing out.

Okay, screw it.

Sorry.Thanks.

You've had?

To mothers of the year.

[ BABY CRYING OVER MONITOR ]

[ BABY CRYING OVER MONITOR ]

Pretty cool, right?

Yeah, we have the same one.

I think our signals are getting
crossed.

Oh, really? I thought something
screwy was going on with it.

They look cute together.

So they're sending me
to Pittsburgh next week.

I'm closing the Weller account.

Come on, this is huge!

You remember, we were still in
that dump on East 3rd...

when I started it.

I loved that place.

Come on, Mary, what's up?

Nothing.

You're a bad liar.

I'll make you a deal.

Once I close it, we'll go to
Hawaii for a few weeks.

Just me, you and the baby.

Yeah?

Okay.

[ DISTANT AIR APPROACHING ]

[ CAR DOOR CLOSES ]

[JACK] Yeah, yeah, hi.

Rachel.Rachel.

Yeah, I live--

Oh, you guys are in
that colonial.

How was your day?

Good.Good?

Oof! Oh God, it smells like
somebody shit himself.

Oh, uh, yeah, I'm sorry. I was
just trying to get dinner ready.

Yeah, it's okay, I got it.

Come on.

All right, here we go.

I can do this, right? Yeah.

No problem. Okay, let's see
what we got here.

That's a big poop. That's
aman-sized poop.

Good work.

Put this on.

Quiet down, sweetie, ssh.

Mommy's here... ssh.

[ SECOND BABY LAUGHING ]

[ GASPS ]

[ SECOND BABY CRIES ]

[ SECOND BABY FUSSING ]

[ DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING ]

[ MUSIC STOPS ]

[ SULLEN MUSIC PLAYING ]

Everything okay?

Yeah... I'm fine.

When a child is brought
into this world...

it often arrives with a whole
host of challenges.

You have a brand-new life that
you're entirely responsible for.

Now in your situation, where the
mother has lost a child...

at birth, it can put her in a
state of perpetual fear...

where you have the fear that
you're going to lose...

the other child as well.

This is totally natural with
postpartum depression.

So what does that mean,
what can we do?

Jack, would you mind if I talked
to your wife alone?

Yeah, yeah, of course.

[DR. NEILSON] Thank you.

I'm sorry about that...

but I need to ask you some
questions...

and I want you to be absolutely
honest with me.

Have you been having any
hallucinations?

Auditory, visual, anything
like that?

No. None.

Good, good, good... excellent.

I'm going to prescribe some
medication...

some antidepressants.

Just until you get your feet
under you...

and get your self back onto
the road of recovery...

nothing permanent, just
temporary.

Until you find your bearings.

DR. NEILSON [V.O.]
I know it's hard...

but I strongly recommend
that you get rid...

of anything, anything at all
that reminds you of your loss.

Anything of his that might
be lying around.

Now as hard as this has been on
you, you need to concentrate...

on the fact that you have this
beautiful, baby boy...

that needs you now
more than ever.

[ SOFT MUSIC PLAYING ]

Jack?

[ DISTANT CLATTER ]

What is this for?

Hey... um--

You don't trust me, do you?

No, no, that's not it, Mary.
Mary!

Come on, Mary, this is not
a big deal.

I just don't feel the greatest
leaving you all alone in here.

You won't let me fly
your mom in.

You won't let me hire a nanny.
What else can I do?

Don't go to Pittsburg, Jack!

That is not an option.

Oh, well, okay.

[ SIGHS ]

[ DOOR SLAMS ]

Jack?

[JACK] Yeah, I know, I know.

[JACK] Don't worry, she's not
gonna find out.

[JACK] Yeah--[ TOILET FLUSHES ]

Whoa.

Who were you talking to?

What? I wasn't talking
to anyone.

What are you-- what are you
doing, Mary?

Mary, stop it!

Where did you put it, Jack?

Put what?

Are you okay?

Mary...

the house, the baby,
it's expensive.

So I'm telling you, that if I
don't get on that plane...

they will find someone who will.

Baby, if I don't go...
we're fucked.

Look at me.

You're a great mom.

We're gonna be fine.

Promise?

Yeah.

Come here.

[ SOFT MUSIC PLAYING ]

I love you.

It's more Richard's thing,
he needs the attention.

God knows I don't give him any.

You should come.

Yeah. If Jack's back.

How long is he gone for?

A week, maybe two,
he's not sure.

Business trips, Rich goes on
them all the time.

Whatever, don't ask, don't tell.
Right?

Oh, uh, it's not like that.

Oh, I just thought you guys were
maybe, you know, down.

No, No. Not down.
Definitely not.

I don't know how people do it,
personally. It's so archaic.

Do what?Monogamy.

Talk about repressing your
animal instincts.

Check it out. Not bad, right?

Miranda got just a normal
two-Queen... sucker.

So it's just the two of you,
then?

Yeah, for now, Walt flies in
Wednesday before the meeting.

Must be nice, flying in, shake
a few hands, get wasted...

and fly out.

So, are you... you know, taking
your--

Meds?

Yes, your crazy wife is still
taking her meds...

while you're out gallivanting...

in some fancy hotel room
with another woman.

It sounds like they're not
working yet.

Hah-hah-hah.

Check this out.

That's terrifying.

Yeah, I can watch you all day.

So you know, feel free to walk
around naked whenever you want.

You would like that.

Hey, hey, let me see the little
guy for a second.

Hey, hi, buddy. Hi.

Daddy misses you.

He misses you, too, don't you?

Daddy, come home.

Jesus Christ.

[ LOUD BANG ]

[ ADAM CRYING OVER MONITOR ]

Oh, my god.

[ EERIE MUSIC PLAYING ]

[ WIND BLOWING ]

Look, it was probably just
teenagers.

I mean, they're bored and
getting into trouble...

all the time around here.

How's he doing?

Fine.

They're a lot tougher
than they look.

Do you have kids?

Uh, no.

I recognize you.

Yeah, I just live a few doors
over.

Look, if you need anything,
don't hesitate to knock.

Okay, it's probably quicker
than calling 911.

Thanks.

Ssh... ssh.

It's not fine...

I hope these punkass kids try
this shit with me...

I will be out the door so
fast...

I don't care if they're
ten years old...

I will beat the shit out
of them.

Relax.

I need a drink.

[MARY] Up.

Sweet. Oh, crap.

What?It's empty.

It is?

Yeah, no worries, I got some at
my place, like five minutes.

Can you watch him?Yeah, sure.

[ DISTANT THUNDER ROLLING ]

[ DIALING, RINGING ]

Hey, you've reached Jack...

I'm not here to take your call
right now.

Shit.

[ EERIE MUSIC PLAYING ]

Mommy's gonna be right back,
okay?

Shit.

[ ADAM CRYING ]

It's okay, sweetie, Mommy's
right here.

[ ADAM FUSSING ]

[ STEPS WALKING ]

[ FLOOR CREAKING ]

[DEMON WOMAN]
It's okay, Adam.

[ DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING ]

Adam! Adam!

[ ADAM FUSSING ]

[RACHEL] She's fine, she's just
really upset.

She called you a dozen times
last night after it happened.

I know... I hear you.

No, she didn't sleep.

He wants to know
if he should come home?

I don't think that's necessary.

I mean... she's safe now.
It's fine.

It's no trouble, really.
She's just really shaken up.

I think maybe she just needs
some time for herself.

How is everything going
with you?

Oh my God, that's hilarious.

Okay, we'll chat soon.

Break a leg, Jack.

[ DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING ]

[ KNOCKING ON DOOR ]

Yes?

Hi. Are you Jane Henderson?

Can I come in?

The first time I saw it...

it was in the middle
of the night...

when I went to go check on her.

It was just standing there...
watching her.

What did you do?

I froze, completely.

It was all so long ago.

Anytime I was near her...

I felt like there was something
watching us.

My daughter was never safe.

And then one night, I heard it.

And at first, I thought it
was a voice in my head...

but it wasn't.

What did it say?

I recorded it.

JANE [OVER SPEAKER]
Please, leave me alone!

Leave me the hell alone.

[ BABY CRYING OVER SPEAKER ]

JANE [OVER SPEAKER]
No, you can't! I won't let you!

Stop it! Stop it! She's mine!

DEMON WOMAN [OVER SPEAKER]
Your daughter... mine.

[ SCREAMING OVER SPEAKER ]

Did you show these to the
police?

They didn't care.

What is this?

That's the bitch who's
trying to steal your baby.

JANE [V.O.] You have to make
a choice, Mary.

It's your baby...

or somebody else's.

It's the only way to savehim.

JANE [OVER SPEAKER]
Please... she's all I have.

[MARY]
Mothers and expectant mothers...

[ BABY CRYING OVER SPEAKER ]

[MARY] Slaying children.

JANE [OVER SPEAKER]
You're not real...

You're just a voice in my head!

LAMASHTU [OVER SPEAKER]
No... real.

JANE [OVER SPEAKER]
Why her? Why us?

LAMASHTU [OVER SPEAKER]
I like her.

[MARY]
An offering may be accepted.

[ FAINT RATTLING ]

[ CAR ENGINE STARTING ]

SHEILA [OVER PHONE]
You need to call Jack.

He says you're not answering
his calls.

Did you hear me? Hmm?

Oh, uh, he'll be back soon.

He's worried about you.

I know, I just need
some time alone.

Well, you know I'm here
if you nee-

LAMASHTU [OVER PHONE]
I need him.

Leave him alone!
Leave him alone!

Whoa! Hey, hey, hey, it's just
me! It's just me, baby.

I'm sorry.It's just me... okay?

I thought you were it!

You thought I was what?
It's just me.

I tried calling you, but it went
straight to voice mail.

You don't have to worry.

So I hear our neighbors might be
having a Halloween party...

next week, that could be
fun, right?

Yeah, sounds fun.

I'm gonna get someone to come
and fix that window today.

I'm coming out of the closet
today, too.

I'll introduce you to my lover
Donald tonight at dinner.

He likes to be on top.

It turns out I'm what they
call a power bottom.

Sounds good, honey.

I'm gonna take Adam to the park.

You want me to pick you
up anything?

[MARY]
Maybe some stronger coffee.

You got it.

[ SOFT MUSIC PLAYING ]

Did you forget something?

What do you mean?

I got a new kind, they say
it's earthy, but strong.

What? You just left.

Mary... I've been gone
almost two hours.

Ah, there we go.

Must be a hell of a book.

You should have seen this kid
today, he was such a trooper.

He didn't even cry once.
He's killing it!

[ CRYING ]

I can't-- where is he?
Where is he? Mikey?

He's gone.What?

Someone took him!

What do you mean?

I lo-- I looked everywhere
for him, and I can't find him.

What are you talking about?

I can't find him...
I can't find him.

I can't find him.

Mary.

Adam! Oh, where did
you find him?

Give him to me.

He was sleeping, baby.

He was in his crib.

No.

Oh, my sweet, baby boy.

[MARY] Mommy's never gonna leave
you again, I promise, okay?

[ HUMMING ]

Oh, hi, hon.

Coffee's hot. How many pancakes
do you want?

Uh-- two's good.

Two. Wow.

Syrup?Sure.

Tah-dah.

Thanks...

Mm.

He needs me to come in and sign
a few things...

and then I'll finally be done
with this deal.

I'll be gone a few hours.
Are you going to be okay?

Me? Yeah, of course.

Is Mommy gonna be okay.

Daddy's gonna be back
in no time.

I love you, kiddo.

Take care of your mom.

SHEILA [OVER SPEAKER]
Well, it sounds like things...

are really back on track, then?

Yeah! Jack just closed his deal,
so he's excited about that...

and he's planning to take some
time off to spend with us...

Good. How's Adam sleeping?

Oh, it's been a lot better now
that he's in the bedroom...

with me. He slept seven straight
hours yesterday, so--

That's great, Mary. Really.

Yeah, yeah, it's really great,
Mom, it's just--

I just hope that he, um... I
just hope that--

Shut the fuck up, Adam![ CRYING STOPS ]

I hope he keeps it up, you know?

I'm thinking about switching
to soy milk.

You know, because I've just been
reading this article...

about dairy and the negative
effects...

it has on a baby's digestive
tract.

And I just want to make sure
that he's okay...

because it could be really bad
for him.

So... how are you doing, Mom?

[JACK] Mary, I'm home.
Mar?

We're in here!

[JACK] Mary? Hello?
Mary, where are you?

I'm giving Adam a bath!

[JACK] I can't hear you!
Mary, just come downstairs.

I said, I'm giving Adam
a bath!

Adam! Adam!

[ KNOB RATTLING ][MARY] Adam?

[ BANGING ON DOOR ][ ADAM CRYING ]

Jack! Jack, I need you!
Jack, help!

[MARY]
No, no, no, no!

Jack, Jack, I need you!

Jack! Jack!

[ MUFFLED SINGING ][ WATER RUNNING ]

No, no, no, no, no!

[ YELLING AND BANGING ]

[MARY] No!

God!

[ ADAM BABBLES ]

[ DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING ]

Help me! Somebody help me!

My baby! Help me! My baby--

[ WATER RUNNING ]

[ EERIE MUSIC PLAYING ]

[ BONES CRACKLING ]

[ BONES CRUNCHING ]

Please. Please!

Leave him alone!

[ THUD ]

What--

[MARY]
Why am I in restraints?

Is he okay?

Is Adam okay?

Yeah, he's fine.

Oh...

But, Mary... what you did...

you almost killed him.

No, no, I was trying to save
him.

You've gotta believe me, Jack.
Please...

What is this?

What? No.

[ ADAM CRYING ]

No, no, that is not what
happened.

I didn't do that, Jack.
You have to believe me.

[MARY] No.

She changed the footage.

No, no, no, Mary, Mary,
just stop it!

No, Jack, listen to me!

You have to keep Adam with you
at all times.

She wants to take him,
he's in danger.

The only person that he's in
danger from... is you.

No, come back! Come back!

You shouldn't have lied to me,
Mary.

It's called postpartum
psychosis...

and it's a hell of a thing.

Quite frankly, you've lost touch
with reality.

Lost the ability to discern
between what is real...

and what is not real.

And as for these incidents
you've been having...

the voices, hallucinations,
Mary, it's all in your head.

And this episode you had with
your child, I have to tell you..

I've seen it get much,
much worse.

First we gotta get your meds
changed up.

The hospital is gonna wanna do a
full psych evaluation...

before you can get in to their
psychiatric ward.

[DOCTOR]
Your husband's on his way.

[JACK] Mary?

Hi.

Adam.

He's okay. Don't worry.

I'm a terrible mother.

I'm so sorry.

No, you just gotta get better...
soon.

These-- you know, these tickets
are non refundable, so--

Listen, I gotta get going,
though...

because your mom is flying in.

But here, take this.

Now you can watch over us.

Say bye-bye to Mommy.
Say bye-bye.

Bye-bye, Adam!

Get some rest.

Jack...

Feel free to walk around naked
whenever you want.

Okay.

I'm talking about...

you cheating whore!

Whoa, relax.I'm not a freak!

Who is this?

It's okay, babe. Mary, can
I talk to you for a second?

Mary, can I talk to you
in private for a second?

Mary, get inside!

What the hell is wrong with you?
What are you even saying!?

I can't believe I ever thought
you were my friend.

I am your friend. Look at me!

You let her take Adam.

Who took Adam? Adam is fine,
he's with Jack.

He's with your husband!

They're on their way to the
airport to pick up your mother!

You're lying!I'm not!

Tell the truth, Rachel.

You're out of control,
and I can't--

Get away from the door, Rachel!

What are you doing?

Mary, listen to me...
your son is fine.

[ DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING ]

Please! You don't want to do
anything stupid.

I'm telling you, you don't.

Think-- think about your family,
okay?

Think about-- think about Adam.

My baby!

I'm gonna get you some help,
okay?

[ BABY CRYING ]

Mary? Mary!

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.
