Ben, that's too heavy for you.
Just wait for your dad.
CASSIE:
Okay, just put itby the table.
ASHLEY:
I wanna see it.- Or just drop it right there.
- Ashley!
It's okay, sweetie. We just have
to put it back in
of these ornaments he might just
- drop off your gifts next door.
- [BALLS TUMBLING]
[GASPS]
- I'm kidding.
- [BOTH LAUGHING]
I'm kidding. Want to spin? Yeah.
- CASSIE:
Yay!- ASHLEY:
Yay.BEN:
Dad!MAN ON TV:
There's decayfeeding on fear, hate, death.
Death is everywhere.
No one is immune.
I see the pain you've given me
as a gift.
Once you give in...
things become much easier.
DAVID ON RECORDING: What else
has it told you?
Look at me, Jacob.
What else has it told you?
JACOB ON RECORDING:
Pray for you doctor.
Last night, the rake
spoke your name.
DAVID ON RECORDING:
What is the rake, Jacob?
JACOB ON RECORDING: It's too
hard to describe, doctor.
Murphy's entity draws
inspiration from that
of the Native American Wendigo
and the ancient Celtic Arrach.
leeching off of his or her life.
Jacob believes he must appease
to himself and infecting those
around him.

- Benny, what are you doing out here?
Oh, hey, Dad. Mom needs you.
How long have
you been listening?
I, uh...
Listen, buddy, you don't need
to hear this.
It's grown-up stuff, okay?
Okay, Dad. It's cool though.
I'm not scared of monsters
anymore.
Oh, I forgot you're ten now,
you can't be scared.
- Nope.
- Okay, go tell Mom I'll be down
- in a minute, okay?
- Okay, Dad.
All right.
JACOB ON RECORDING: Death
is everywhere. No one is immun.
It will infect us all.

- DAVID:
Oh, nice!- [CLAPPING]
All right, Benny, dude,
you're up.
- Oh, this is gonna be tough.
- Okay. Yeah.
You know, I'm gonna help
you focus here.
- Oh, yeah, that's helping me?
- Mm-hmm.
- [ALL] Oh!
- [CASSIE LAUGHING]
Okay, guys, game over.
You know what that means, right?
Bedtime.
But I'm not even tired!
[KISSING]
Goodnight.
- Goodnight, dude.
- Goodnight.
- You okay, buddy?
- Yeah.
What you saw earlier...
forget about it, okay?
Part of my job is to help people
with the things they make up.
- You understand?
- I get it, Dad.
It's like your comic books.
It's all make-believe.
Got it.
- DAVID:
Love you, buddy.- Love you too.
You let him in your office?
No, he just, um, peeked in
for a second, that's all.
A second is all it takes, David.
You're right. I'm sorry.
It's okay, just keep the door
locked from now on, okay?
I will. I...
I've just been pounding my brain
over this one.
Oh, sweetie, uh, I know, I...
I can tell.
You'll figure it out.
You always do and that's why
I love you...
Dr. Warren.
I got to go clean up.
[MOANS] Okay.
Don't keep me waiting, okay.

[DOOR CREAKS]
BEN:
What are you doing?I heard scary noises in my room.
- What are you looking at?
- Nothing.
- You can't look at this.
- Come on, I wanna see.
Nobody knows where it comes from
but it's always there...
watching over while you sleep.
Waiting for you to open
your eyes for the last time.
It stalks its prey.
without you even knowing.
It waits for the perfect moment
when you're least expecting.
It's got one hooked claw
and the other hand has nails
so big
- they look like butcher knives!
- Stop!
You're such a baby.
Do you want me to stop?
You're scaring me.
I don't like this story.
Okay fine, I'll stop.
I told you were too young
for this stuff.
[THUDS]
Oh. Ben?
[SIGHS]
Seriously.

CASSIE:
David! [GRUNTS]David!
JACOB ON RECORDING: It's here,
it's always here.
- [CRIES] David!
- What was that?
CASSIE:
Stay back! [CRIES][CASSIE PANTING]
Go to your room!
JACOB ON RECORDING: The Rake is
a disease that needs no motive,
once you give in...
- [PANTING]
- BEN:
What's going on?- ASHLEY:
Mommy.You have to stay here, okay?
Be very quiet.
- I'm going to get help.
- ASHLEY:
Mommy.Just be quiet, okay? Okay? Okay?
[CASSIE WHISPERS] Okay?
Stay quiet, okay?
- I love you.

[CASSIE PANTING]
David! David!
CASSIE:
David!JACOB ON RECORDING:
...traumatizing but...
- [BANGING ON DOOR]
- ...what came out of her...
[CASSIE CRIES]
[KNIFE TEARS]
[SIGHS]
In conclusion, Jacob's obsession
with the Rake could be seen
as a supernatural hallucination.
DAVID:
Cassie![GASPS]
[DOOR CREAKS]
JACOB ON RECORDING:
Beyond compare...
it convinced me to come
to the despair.
I see the pain you've given me
as a gift. Once you give in...
death, rebirth...
giving and taking.
[BOTH GASP]
It will infect us all.
JACOB ON RECORDING: These scars
are testament
to my transformation.
- Honey.
- NICOLE:
What?- Is everything okay?
- Yeah. I'm fine.
- Our new chapter, right?
- Right.
- Ready?
- Mm-hmm.
Nah, hold on.
- Let's do this the right way.
- [NICOLE CHEERS]
There's something to be said
about tradition.
Looks like everything got here
in one piece.
- Where do you want to start?
- I don't know. Tell me,
