What does that matter?

Ever think your mom

just ran away?

Evette was a f***ing whacko.

What did you say?

Whoa. Easy, Seth.

I think you fellas should leave.

I'm sure if you were

in our situation,

you'd understand where

we're coming from.

I have a business

to run here, boys.

If you wanna talk

about your mommy,

go talk to her crazy friends.

What friends? Who?

These friends right here,

behind you.

We're thinking it's time

for you to go.

Come on.

Little punks.

I didn't tell you this,

but mom had

a lot of trouble last year.

I even had to check her

into a clinic at one point

because she wasn't stable.

What do you mean,

"wasn't stable"?

Well, the doctor said

it was a suicide attempt,

but she denied it.

Wait, what?

What was a suicide attempt?

She was mixing pills

and alcohol.

How could you not tell me this?

She got really depressed

after you left,

and it kind

of got worse and worse.

I just didn't want to make you

feel guilty, you know?

How could you not call me?

I mean, is she losing

her mind or something?

Well, she knew you had

a lot going on,

like with the pregnancy

and everything,

and she just didn't

want to worry you, so...

I didn't tell you.

I should have.

I'm sorry.

Hey...

Come here. Come here.

Come here.

What's wrong?

You okay?

You okay?

...What's wrong?

Watchers.

Hey. I just fed Emma.

She's finally asleep.

Their life seems

a lot easier than ours, huh?

What's that supposed to mean?

I know money

can't buy happiness,

but it sure solves

a lot of problems.

Are you not happy anymore?

I am.

You know this year's been hard,

ever since we had Emma.

Look, I know we don't have

everything they do,

but I'm trying.

It's not your fault.

Beth.

Adam.

It's me.

Angela?

Oh, my god, I'm so sorry,

- I didn't recognize you.

- It's okay. It's okay.

- I know.

- Are you okay?

- Do you wanna come in?

- I shouldn't.

I just needed to see you.

I need to warn you.

Warn me about what?

Have you met those people yet?

Your mom's friends?

Yeah, last night.

Lawrence?

The kid, right?

What about him?

Help isn't what they offer.

That place, and those people,

and Lawrence, especially,

just don't trust them.

Why wouldn't we trust them?

He's a monster.

Find me.

Hey, man, wanna give me a hand

with the groceries out of the car?

Wanna tell me what was really

going on with mom?

What do you mean?

Dolls with their eyes

blacked out.

Suicide attempts.

Gateways.

- Tell me.

- Tell you what?

...Tell me everything.

What do you want me to say?

I don't know where she is.

How could you not tell me

our mother tried

to kill herself?

You have a nice history

of keeping stuff from me.

Is there anything else
