found this in the house.

She's gotten

pretty attached to it.

Bad luck to find

someone else's mueca.

"Local family found slain."

Zachary, this nice lady is gonna

ask you some questions, okay?

Hi.

I'll be right outside.

Do you mind if I sit down?

I'm Alyson Simon.

I recently moved into

your old house.

And I have a little girl

who's nine,

just about the same age you were

when you lived there.

She found your doll.

Do you remember your doll?

She's grown

really attached to it.

Can you tell me why you did it,

Zachary?

Why'd you kill your family?

Was it...

Was it the house?

Was it something in the house?

Zachary.

Zachary!

It's time to go.

No, I just need one more minute.

He's not gonna tell you

anything.

Don't you let

the hearse by

For you may be

the next to die

- Where did you hear that song?

- Ma'am?

Where did you hear that song?

Tell me where you heard

that song!

The kid killed his whole family

and two cops in my house!

We found his picture

under my daughter's floor!

Mrs. Simon, the state civil code

is very clear.

A death in the home

is only a material defect

if it occurs within

three years of the sale.

Material defect?

This isn't a cracked shingle.

It's a multiple homicide!

What do you want me to do?

Tell the bank

that you misrepresented

the condition of the property

and get me my damn money back.

There's no cooling-off period.

This is a done deal.

Then list it. You said there was

a lot of competition.

Sell it to one of the others.

Yeah, well, um...

- There was no one else.

- Listen...

I'm gonna be honest with you.

With the history of this house,

selling it is not gonna be easy,

believe me.

No. You know what?

I'm calling my lawyer.

There's no reason to get...

Damn it.

You knew this would happen.

You were my friend.

And I always will be.

Why?

It's her turn.

She needs me.

You understand, don't you?

Why you have to go?

I'm scared.

Don't be. You're going

to be happy again.

You're going to be free.

You can play forever.

With you?

Come find us, Zachary.

Come find us, Zachary.

We'll be waiting.

You know,

sometimes your mother and I,

we act like mean children

on a schoolyard.

We say things to each other

that we don't really mean,

and you have to listen to it,

and it's not fair.

But both of us want you to know

that we love you

more than you can ever imagine.

Well, what about Mommy?

What about Mommy?

Do you love her?

I do.

Well, I just don't understand

why we can't live together

and things can be

like they used to.

Okay.

Because sometimes

people who love each other

need a little time apart

to remember why they loved

each other in the first place.
