Don't Sleep Page #3

Always a gentleman.

Your folks obviously did

a couple of things right.

But only a couple.

Hey, Shawn, the weirdest thing

just happened with my laptop.

It... it, uh...

It wouldn't turn on,

and then it made these...

These, like, weird sounds,

and then this...

This scarier-than-sh*t face

pops up and just, like,

screamed at me.

It really startled me.

You seem a little...

Delicate these days. Hmm?

You are still okay

with your decision to live

with a girl, aren't you?

I mean...

I'll be okay if you're not.

Ah, yeah.

You're such a wise ass.

My wise ass is one

of the reasons you love me.

Ow, Shawn!

You see what I mean?

I definitely

have to toughen you up.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

Get out of here.

- Go back to work.

- Okay.

Lilly?

Lilly, I don't understand.

Jo.

Hey.

Hey, what's...

What's going on?

It's just pops.

He...

Someone beat him

really, really bad.

My god, are you serious?

That's crazy!

His face is all swollen and...

And bruised and bloody.

What's going on?

He's just an old man.

Jo, why are you crying?

Mr. Marino was mugged

last night.

Beat him pretty bad.

They're gonna keep him

in the hospital a few days.

Jo, what... what can we do?

Just...

You guys just be careful, okay?

- Yeah. Yeah, of course.

- Okay.

I mean, what kind of animal

just beats an old man

and doesn't take anything?

It really gives me the creeps.

Zach, we moved

to this neighborhood

because it seemed like

a nice, quiet, family area.

I mean, otherwise,

we could've lived in the city.

Hey, um,

maybe you should be careful

walking around at night,

you know,

even just outside the house.

I'm not gonna live scared,

you know? It's just...

- It's no fun.

- Yeah, Shawn, I know.

But it happened once.

It could happen again.

That's a cute picture

of the three of you.

But you do look sort of sad.

Yeah.

Well, I still like it.

That's better.

- Hey, come on in.

- Hey, Vince.

We just wanted to come by

and see how your dad was doing.

It's a curse! Vince, a curse

has come over our home.

We have get out of here

or we're gonna die.

- Jo, that's enough.

- We got to get out of here,

or we're gonna die!

- That's enough. Stop. Stop!

Hey, hey, hey. Please, stop.

Come with me.

Look who's come to see you, pop.

Mr. Marino?

It's gonna be okay.

Whatever it is,

it's gonna be okay.

You have Vincent and Jo.

They're...

They're gonna look after you.

Mr. Marino?

I thought

I told you not to come in here.

It's okay, pop.

It's okay.

You don't know.

I'm so scared.

Oh!

What are you doing, Jo?

You're driving me nuts.

You got to get a grip.

When I was a little girl,

the old men would tell a story

of a fisherman that was made
