They'll be electrocuted

and then they'll be dead.

And if they're dead,

then they can't get in the house.

We armed yet?

Getting there.

Might wanna think about

getting a dog or something.

No!

Here, it says you have to input

the security code, and then the Stay key.

Oh, yeah, smart guy?

What was that?

Same thing happened to me.

Isn't that weird? It's not even winter.

And they found this house,

and they ate it all up.

What are you doing?

Playing.

Do you wanna see a trick?

What kind of trick?

No way. How are you doing that?

You try.

You look ridiculous!

Shoot.

What is that?

I just lost an earring

behind the washing machine.

That's a bummer, honey.

I'll go look for it.

There's a leak back there.

Great. Welcome to owning a new home.

I had to do something.

This place is, like,

a complete shithole.

There's not even any malls.

Like, the malls are boarded up.

Oh, my God,

that actually sounds really sad.

-So, your dad can't find--

-Dude.

This 1920s bungalow

was the site of a murder.

Oh, yeah, I love that show.

Oh, my God, that guy's a total freak.

I know.

I'm Carrigan Burke,

and I'm here to clean house.

Oh, yeah.

I love when he's, like-- Okay, ready?

"This house is clean."

"Is clean."

Hey, hey, hey.

Can you turn that down?

Come in?

Kids are going to sleep.

Hi, Lauren.

Hey, Mrs. Bowen.

Thank you. Good night.

"Mrs. Bowen"?

All right, lovebugs. It's time for bed.

Look at this mess.

Can you clean this up, Griff?

The door's stuck.

Awesome!

I think there are magnets in there.

They're not magnets. They're my friends.

Who are your friends?

The lost people.

The lost people? Who are the lost people?

They live here. But they don't like it.

They wanna go to their home.

Sweetheart, we are home.

We're not lost.

This is our home for a little while, okay?

Okay, Mommy.

You sure?

But why do I have to be up here?

Because this is the coolest room

in the house.

And you are the coolest kid

in the house.

But I don't like the ceiling.

Now you're just being silly.

Come on.

Who's my super boy?

Mom.

I'm sorry, are you too big

to say it now?

No.

Then who's my super boy?

I am.

Yeah, you are.

I love you.

I love you, too.

All right, get some sleep, okay?

The night-light! Night-light!

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Okay, okay, okay?

Is that better?

Griffin, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Okay.

Good night, buddy.

Good night.

What was Griff freaking out about?

-The night-light.

-Yeah?

"The night-light, the night-light!"

I don't know what it is with him.

Yeah, well, we got too many kids.

I know.

I said we should have stopped at two.

Maddy's not the problem.

Not yet.
