---

because you really should be

spending more time with me.

(ethereal somber music)

I miss you.

It's good to hear

that you miss me too.

I know that's got to

be a complex emotion

to sort of put into words.

- Tom, I'm pregnant.

- What?

Is it mine?

(wind blowing heavily)

(eerie ethereal music)

When were you going

to tell me this?

- I just told you.

- Are you going to keep it?

(footsteps running)

- Did you hear that?

- Hear what?

- [Helen] Lucas?

(eerie ethereal music)

Tom, check the study.

Lucas?

(eerie ethereal music)

- [Tom] He's not there.

(eerie ethereal music)

- I think I know where he went.

(birds flutter)

Lucas?

Lucas, where are you?

(sighs)

- [Tom] Kid could be

anywhere, this is pointless.

- No he would have followed

the path, he's a smart kid.

- I think we should

call someone.

- Why, so they can

clean up our mess?

- [Tom] Your mess.

- See, this is why

I've been avoiding you.

You can't deal when

things get serious.

- Helen.

- [Helen] No please,

let me finish.

- No, Helen, what is that?

(eerie somber music)

- That's feathers.

(eerie ethereal music)

That's his blanket.

(eerie ethereal music)

- [Wesley] Hey wait a minute,

what do you got there?

- Just some files

Connolly asked me to get.

- [Wesley] From the basement?

Let me see.

The Bowery case?

What the hell for?

- [Rebecca] What

are you looking at?

- I should probably get

these to the sheriff.

- [Wesley] The Child

Eater of Widow's Peak.

Bowery was a weird one.

No one suspected a thing,

little did we know.

- My mom says it's

because of those woods.

Said he spent too much

time there, went too deep.

- Bunch of horse

sh*t, he snapped.

Developed an eye disease.

- Macular degeneration.

It's genetic.

- [Wesley] He slowly went blind.

But at some point it

seems he started believing

eating other folks'

eyes would cure his own.

Said the younger, the better.

He put a mask over their heads

to make them as blind as he was.

This death mask.

- What is this, ghost

stories around the camp fire?

Should I go out and buy

some goddamn marshmallows?

Old bastard was

just a sick sadist.

(eerie ethereal music)

- [Tom] Did you hear that?

- [Helen] What?

- The sound of every

bone in your body

telling you not

to go any further.

- He is just hiding somewhere.

Lucas?

Okay you got what you wanted,

we're out here, now let's go.

- Stop!

- [Helen] Jesus Christ,

that's a f***ing bear trap.

- Are there bears

in these woods?

- [Helen] What if Lucas

stepped into one of these?

- I mean we know, we would hear

him screaming his lungs out.

- [Helen] Tom.

- No I mean it, Helen,

seriously, we would know.
