DBRs.

Damaged Beyond Repair.

I can't believe

you said that.

Yeah, well, I'm getting cynical,

I know. Just a minute.

I know you could

do with the money.

Weren't you planning on selling

that house instead of moving into it?

Thank you,

but I'm gonna stick with

my Damaged Beyond Repair.

Why?

Well, as you know,

I was once one of them myself.

why do you think

she's always down there?

Get up here!

You are drunk, Jack.

I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to

my goddamn daughter!

Can't you see she's afraid?

So help me, I will nail

this basement shut!

Stop it!

Sonny, you look at me,

little girl, right now.

You get the hell up these stairs

or I'm gonna drag you.

It's talk time on Talk Line.

And with only a few

minutes left tonight,

we have a young man on the line

from Stillwater,

my old hometown

just across the bridge.

Hello, Stillwater, you are on the air

with Dr. Sonny Blake.

Stillwater,

are you there?

Hickory dickory dock

the mouse ran up the clock

The clock struck one,

the mouse was done

hickory dickory dock

Well, a little poetry

to end our night.

That is all the time

we have

as we approach The News at Midnight

with Glenn Forrester.

Back tomorrow

at 8:
00 p.m.

Dr. Sonny Blake.

Barrett.

Mmm?

Barrett, wake up.

Yeah.

Barrett, I need you

to get to my house now.

Who is this?

Wake up.

Sonny?

I think someone

has been in my house.

Wait, what?

I just need you to

get over here now.

Get out of the house and call the police.

I'm on my way.

Look, talk to me

like someone who just drove

all the way from

the city in his pajamas

and is still

half-asleep, okay?

The ballerina

is always first.

Ballerina, then the elephant

my brother gave me,

then the swan, then the cat,

then the mouse, then your bear.

Barrett's bear.

It is always on the end.

Ballerina first, bear last.

Someone switched them.

Hickory dickory dock?

That's what he said on the radio.

The clock struck one...

Yeah. Like it does every

night when you get home.

And when it did, I saw the mouse.

The mouse ran up the clock.

And that's when

I noticed the bear

and the ballerina

have switched places.

Some guy found out

where you live,

broke in before

you got home tonight,

rearranged your knickknacks,

then called to tell you about it?

You don't believe me.

I didn't say that.

So then you think I'm crazy.

Those things got moved.

You're absolutely sure?

100% sure?

Look, you wanna call the cops,

call them,

but I can

tell you right now,

you don't have a burglary,

a forced entry

or proof anyone was

in this house at all.

I get it.

All right,

let's get some sleep, huh?

What? You mean on top of all this,

I have to drive back?
