[SARAH]

Daddy needs a smoothie.

[SARAH] Daddy needs a smoothie.

Daddy needs...

Daddy needs a smoothie.

Daddy needs a smoothie.

Your Daddy needs a smoothie.

It's you... yeah, that's right.

I don't want it to get me.

I don't want it to get me.

I don't want it to come again.

That's right, who is Daddy's

boy? It's you.

(INDISTINCT MUMBLING)

I don't want it to come again.

I don't want it to come again.

I don't want it to get me.

(TEETH CHATTERING)

Hey, boo-boo.

Hey, boo-boo-boo.

I hate you.

I hate you!

(DEMON BREATHING)

Mommy... help me.

(MUMBLING)

I hate you!

Why?

(RUMBLING)

I don't want it to get me.

What's wrong with my teeth?

I hate you!

(BARKING)

- I hate you!

- Emily, wake up!

Wake up.

(WHIMPERING)

Daniel...

Dad!

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

Here's your picture, Mom.

So what did you dream

about this time?

Niamh!

Sorry.

It's okay. It's okay, honey.

It's just an accident.

Just grab your school bag.

You...?

Fine.

Hey.

Hey, what's going on?

I'm just tired.

There was a boy yesterday, and

he reminded me of my brother.

Hey, why don't you go back

to bed for a while, huh?

You probably only slept

a couple of hours?

(EERIE MUSIC PLAYING)

[LIAM]

Ready or not, here I come.

(LIAM HUMMING)

Liam?

(CHUCKLES)

There you are, next to my

sister.

No, Liam, there's no one there.

It's just me.

Liam!

Alice! Help me!

Liam!

Alice! Alice!

You two will be sleeping

in here with your parents...

so you'll feel nice and safe,

okay?

What's that?

That is a polysomnogram device.

It helps us figure out why

you're not sleeping properly.

And this monitors your brain

waves...

your eye movements, your muscle

tone and your breathing.

And this right here measures

your heart rate.

You look like an alien.

That's stupid. She does not.

Well, not a scary alien, right?

Mr. Morgan.

It helps me sleep.

We had another terrible night

last night.

You got no idea how much

we need this to work.

Oh, believe me, I do.

Let's get you back in.

There's a night vision camera

in the corner of the room...

we'll be keeping an eye

on everything...

you do while you sleep.

So will this stop me from

killing all the teddy bears?

Can't we just never sleep?

Please?

I don't want it to come again.

You don't want what to come

again?

Daniel, we've already talked

about this.

We're the only ones in the room.

Okay? They're just dreams.

We need to get a good night's

sleep.

That's how we're going to get

fixed, sweetie.

Will you help me, Dr. Alice?

Of course I will. That's my job.

[ALICE] Everything's gonna be
