Come again.

It's just something my mom says.

"Understanding your dreams."

That's a good book.

I get nightmares.

So does my daughter.

She has me sleep with her

when she has 'em.

Do you need anything else?

No, thank you.

Tess?

Tess?

Did you take your pill today?

I know they don't

make you feel good,

But doctors prescribe them

for a reason.

You know?

you knew there were

gonna be side-Effects.

No... I know.

That's better than

the alternative, right?

I just wish

she would talk to me.

I mean, you have a better

connection with her

And you're 10,000 miles away.

That's not true.

You're being too hard

on yourself.

The way Tess is...

Who she is inside...

Quiet, smart, awful.

She's just like you.

you have a stomachache?

Let me get you some

antacid, okay?

Here. Tess.

Take two of these, okay?

You chew both of them?

it won't stop.

I won't stop it.

I won't stop.

I won't stop.

I won't stop.

I won't stop.

I won't stop.

I won't stop.

I won't stop.

I won't stop.

I won't stop.

I won't stop.

I won't stop.

I won't stop.

This'll all be over.

This'll all be over.

This'll all be over...

Go away!

Leave me alone!

Just go away!

Go away!

Go away!

Please stop!

Stop it!

Please!

Tess?

Tess.

Tess!

Tess!

Tess!

Tess!

Robert, she started

cutting herself.

they're not gonna let me leave,

not even for this.

Don't worry.

We'll get you more help.

Why didn't you tell me

you were in pain?

You always tell me.

Tess! Tess!

Help!

it'll be here just in time

just in time

just in time

just in time

help me.

Help me.

Please help me.

- Hello?

- Please.

Mom...

Mom, please help me.

- Hello?

- Please help me, mom.

- - Hey, this is Lucy's phone.

I'm not here right now

Leave a message

and I might get back to you.

am I speaking with Tess?

do you see that

person over there?

There's no one there.

Let's take a look at

the drawings we asked you to do.

You said you had a feeling

That something

was pushing you down.

You couldn't move.

Did you know that there's

a chemical in your brain

That makes you paralyzed

when you sleep?

It's so you don't get up

while you dream.

I wasn't sleeping.

Were you taking your medication?
