to get a look at them and take some blood.

Want me to take a peek?

Oh, I don't think it's anything.

It's probably just an allergy.

I'm gonna run her

to school.

So, how's your mother

holding up?

She's gettin' there. The medication seems

to help, and the house is shaping up.

Have you considered

coming back?

Oh, Doc, I just want to handle this

thing with Mom. Then I can think.

Enough said.

Police are still

searching for Donald Atkins.

He"s wanted for questioning regarding

the bizarre double murder...

of his wife and

Sheriff Biggs last night.

Atkins fled the crime scene

and shortly afterward...

police discovered the body of

the sheriff in a nearby cornfield.

Apparently, the sheriff was searching

for the couple"s son, Marcus.

At the moment, there is no sign

of either father or son.

Police are asking

that anyone...

with any information on the two

contact them immediately.

Oh. Janet.

I'm sorry, Dr. Robbie, but

they've been acting so strangely.

Ever since they got sick,

they just won"t listen to me.

I thought they were teasing me,

you know, but I don't...

How're you doin' there,

Scott?

I'm not Scott.

Oh, then you

must be Scott.

- I'm Zeke.

- I'm Caleb.

I told them to stop. They just won"t

quit, Doc. What do you think it is?

What I think it is

is they're pulling your leg,

and I think you're about

to collapse from exhaustion.

Now, go on home and get you some sleep.

I'll keep them here tonight.

- Are you sure?

- I will keep an eye on them.

I don"t want to see you back here

"til you"ve had ten solid hours.

Okay.

Well, now. All right.

You want to tell me what's

going on here, Charlie?

I'm not Charlie.

Do you boys know

how old I am?

Well... I"m pretty old.

I've lived here in Grand Isle

my entire life.

I was around during

the Second World War.

I was around during the Depression.

Did you know that?

But when I was a boy here,

there was a set of twins...

a couple years older

than I was.

They weren't bad boys,

but they had a lot of...

bad things and sad things

in their lives.

Do you know

what I"m getting at?

Ezekiel and Caleb Cuff.

Do you know what happened

to the Cuff boys?

They were killed

by their father.

One of them was shot...

and the other

was cut with a knife.

Do you think

that is a funny thing?

It is not.

And I don't think your little joke

is a funny thing, either.

I'm going to suggest

to your mother...

that she blister

your little behinds...

real good.

You understand me, Scott?

I'm not Scott.

I take the pills.

I do. I take them.

But it just gets worse.

Shhh.

It'll be okay, Mom.

It will.

The dream is getting worse, Grace.

I close my eyes...

and he's there.
