to listen carefully

Alice.

Let's go.

Alice isn't here right now.

Alan, get up!

Get up!

You come find us.

What are you doing, mommy?

It's time to get up.

It's 4:
30!

Go back to bed.

Five, four, three, two, one.

Five, four, three, two, one.

Five, four, three, two, one.

Five, four, three, two, one.

Five... four... three... two...

One.

My brother was a lot of things.

Drunk.

An a**hole at times, sure.

But he... he really loved

your mom.

He loved you kids,

even if he- even if he

didn't show it.

I know it's hard digging up

all this stuff.

I'm not sure if

I'm seeing things.

Remembering things.

Or someone's messing

with my head.

Did I kill them?

The only person who knows

what happened in that house

is you.

How could I forget something

like that?

It was an act of mercy.

I can't remember anything

about any of them.

Well, your pa was

a hell of a dancer.

Hard worker.

He was funny.

He was kind when he wanted

to be.

I mean, he had a temper, sure,

same as anyone.

I don't know what else

to tell you.

Thanks.

Morning, mommy.

You look really tired.

Thanks.

Can we go to the lake

and skip stones?

I don't know, monkey.

Please? Pretty please?

Maybe later, ok?

Fine.

I'm sorry if Suzie kept you

awake last night.

What'd you just say?

Morning.

My two favourite ladies.

How're we feeling?

Great.

Can you take her

to the lake?

You ok?

I wanna head back today.

I'm not feeling so good.

Tell me what's up.

I think this place is making

me worse.

We'll go home after lunch.

Who wants to skip

some stones?

I do!

Are there any bears

in these woods?

No.

They live further north.

What about wolves?

Well, you never know.

Hello?

Suzie?

What about fairies?

Would any fairies live

down here?

I don't know.

Well, you never can tell.

Fairies are tricksters.

Tinkerbell wasn't a trickster.

Yeah, that's different.

She wasn't real.

I see.

So real fairies are tricksters.

Yeah, they're good.

They tell us riddles.

You have to listen carefully

because your eyes

are easily tricked.

Stupid.

Suzie?

You shouldn't be here.

I know it's you.

Please don't hide.

We have to.

The monster's coming.

Hide!

Hide!

Shh!

You have to run!

I can't!

Run!

How do you know so much

about fairies?

I had a dream about it.

This nice lady taught me

a song.

She did?

Yeah.

She also said mommy's

gonna hurt me.

Honey, why would you say that?

Did mommy do something?

Mommy's not the real one

to be afraid of.

Then who is?

The monster in the bedroom.

I'm going to start loading

the car.

Alice!

Alice!

Alice.

Alice.

Alice.

We can't let you leave, janey.

We can't.
