Dalton, come on, buddy.

You gotta get ready for school.

Hey. Hey.

Dalton.

Dalton?

Dalton. Dalton. Dalton. Dalton!

There is no brain damage

that we've detected.

Technically, yes, he's in a coma.

He doesn't react to stimuli.

He has no sleep-wake cycle.

But there's no brain trauma or infection.

His scans are all normal.

To be honest, I've never seen anything like it.

But he can't just not wake up. I mean...

There's got to be something.

I'm sorry.

Okay, so what do we do?

-Does he stay here? Do we...

-We'll conduct some further testing.

It's only been a couple of days.

It could take a little longer for...

Excuse me a minute. I have to step out.

I'll be back in just a moment.

Dr. Sercarz, how long will the tests take?

Okay, so what I've done here is

I've inserted a nasogastric feeding tube.

To get the length of the tube

that I'm gonna need,

I measure from the tip of the nose

to the earlobe

and down to the xiphoid process,

which is here.

Then I usually mark that off with some tape.

And then you need to lubricate

the end of the tube

that I'm going to insert about 4 inches.

And then I just slide it in like that.

I have to make sure the end of the tube

is curved and that his head is a little bent,

a little bent back.

And then we usually hold it in place

with some surgical tape.

And that's it.

If there are any problems or any bleeding,

just call me, okay?

There's nothing you can do.

Nothing you can do.

I want if!

Give me it! Give me it! I want it!

I want it! Now!

Hey, hey, hey. It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

What's this?

An award.

That's today's date. Did you get this today?

Honey, why didn't you tell us?

I know it's hard right now,

but things are going to get better, I promise.

I'm gonna show this to your dad.

It's fantastic.

I'm scared, Mom.

-Scared of what?

-Dalton.

Can I change rooms?

Why would you want to change rooms?

I don't like when he walks around at night.

Something really weird happened

to me today.

What?

I heard this noise coming from Cali's room.

It was on the baby monitor.

It was like voices.

And I ran up here and I had a look,

but there was no one in there.

It was probably just interference.

Those things are always picking up

somebody else's signal.

I don't know. It sounded so clear.

It was like this whispering.

It was... It scared the hell out of me.

I was at the piano,

and I could hear it on the monitor,

and I turned up the volume and...

Who the hell is that?

Hold on.

Stay here.

Who is it?

Jesus.

Hello?

Oh, my God! Josh! Josh! Josh!

Please. Someone's in Cali's room!

Someone's in Cali's room!

There's someone there! I saw somebody!
