00:00:18The End
00:00:21Oh, man!
00:00:22That was our only ball!
00:00:24Why do you look so scared?
00:00:26Look at him.
00:00:27I'm not scared.
00:00:29Go get it, Peter.
00:00:41You're the new guy, so it's your job to get the ball!
00:00:44Or are you scared?
00:00:46Shut up!
00:00:46Look at you! You're scared!
00:00:48You want me to call your mom?
00:00:50Stop it! Then your big sister will get it for you.
00:00:53That's your ball.
00:00:55My bad, too!
00:00:57So get in there before I knock your sorry ass out of the park!
00:01:08Come on, loser! Get the ball!
00:01:13Come on, hurry up!
00:01:22It's right here.
00:01:24I see...
00:01:26Oh, no, guys! Come on!
00:01:28This isn't funny! Come on!
00:01:30Open up, guys!
00:01:31Oh, what a mountain head!
00:01:34You actually fell for it!
00:01:35What are you doing?
00:01:38What are you doing?
00:01:41What are you doing?
00:01:43What are you doing?
00:01:46What are you doing?
00:02:01What are you doing?
00:02:01Oh, man.
00:02:10Hello?
00:02:14What are you doing?
00:02:16What are you doing?
00:02:16No?
00:02:21No.
00:02:34Hello?
00:02:36Is there anybody here?
00:02:52Help me.
00:02:54Leave me alone.
00:02:56Leave me alone.
00:02:57Open it up.
00:02:58Help me.
00:03:01Open it up.
00:03:02Open it up.
00:03:03Open it up.
00:03:08Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:24Good to see you, too.
00:04:43Good to see you.
00:05:26Ryan, is that you?
00:05:30Ryan, honey, is that you?
00:05:33No, it's robbers.
00:05:34It's just your standard home invasion.
00:05:37Nothing to worry about here.
00:05:39You're home late.
00:05:40How was your day?
00:05:42Did you pull off any cool tricks?
00:05:45Ryan, no caffeine.
00:05:47Remember what the doctor said.
00:05:50Keeps you up at night.
00:05:51That's not what keeps me awake.
00:05:53Ryan, put it back.
00:05:57Man, how does she know these things?
00:05:59Because I'm your mother.
00:06:01Now get down here so I can take a look at you.
00:06:03I look the exact same as I did this morning.
00:06:07Ryan.
00:06:07I look the same as I did this morning.
00:06:27I look the same as I did this morning.
00:06:28Mom?
00:06:29Mom?
00:06:30Mom?
00:06:32Sorry, sorry, sorry.
00:06:51Geez, Mom.
00:06:53I think I was coming back from a war or something, man.
00:06:57Those kids would kill for their mothers to give them this kind of attention.
00:06:59Yeah, I'm sure.
00:07:02Man, why can't we be like normal families and have the light switch at the top of the stairs?
00:07:06Well, it's just the way it was when we moved here.
00:07:09What do you mean? This isn't normal?
00:07:11This is a home office, just like any other.
00:07:14Geez, you're a mess.
00:07:16Me! Have you looked in the mirror a little bit?
00:07:18Not bad, huh?
00:07:19Oh, yeah. It looks like you've been down in the mines.
00:07:24Oh, what time is it?
00:07:26Oh, your dad's gonna kill me.
00:07:28Got that big party to go to tonight.
00:07:32Gotta clean up.
00:07:33Look like that.
00:07:38I did it.
00:07:44gonna get nothing able to do to do this.
00:07:46I don't know.
00:08:37Hey, kiddo.
00:08:38Hey.
00:08:39You know, if you've got a second, I could use your advice in there.
00:08:41I've got a little problem.
00:08:42Sure.
00:08:53Hey, Dad, that light bulb in the living room needs replacing.
00:08:59You know, the one on the left, as you come into the hallway, it made that sound like when
00:09:03there's a fly stuck in it, and then it flickered.
00:09:06You may not reach the levels of some of the previous hot spells this summer.
00:09:09Ryan, you know, maybe you should just...
00:09:12Take your raincoat, sir, because tonight promises to be a wet one with heavy thunder and lightning.
00:09:18It is sure to be quite the spectacle.
00:09:20Son, all I'm saying is this whole fear of the dark thing.
00:09:27Maybe you're getting just a little too old for this, huh?
00:09:32Well, you realize I'm going to have to take out a second mortgage on the house just to pay for
00:09:35all these light bulbs.
00:09:37Look, I will fix it the first thing tomorrow morning.
00:09:40I promise.
00:09:46All right.
00:09:48All right, I will fix it tonight before we leave.
00:09:50How about that?
00:09:51All right.
00:09:51Deal.
00:09:52Good.
00:09:53You, young man, are one tough negotiator.
00:09:56Oh, I mean it.
00:09:57You know, I've cross-examined criminals that would cry before you.
00:10:01All right.
00:10:05Dad, do you think I can get a dog?
00:10:08You know, like an attack dog?
00:10:10He could hide under my bed.
00:10:12I've heard that dogs can sense fear.
00:10:15Dogs and horses.
00:10:16Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:10:17Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:10:17Why aren't we having this conversation, huh?
00:10:19I mean, you know you're allergic.
00:10:21Besides, what brought us on?
00:10:23Well, you know, I just thought that if Dale was allowed to have a girl in his room...
00:10:27Oh, okay.
00:10:30I see.
00:10:31Well, you know, son, technically he's not breaking any rules, since the rule only applies to when we're not home.
00:10:40Plus, it's her.
00:10:42No way.
00:10:44No way.
00:10:45No way.
00:10:45In our house.
00:10:46In our house.
00:10:47Oh, my God.
00:10:49He talks about her so much, I didn't even know if she was real.
00:10:53What's she like?
00:10:54Is she short?
00:10:55Is she tall?
00:10:55Does she smell?
00:10:56What's she look like?
00:10:58I've got, like, a million questions.
00:11:01All right, hold on a second.
00:11:02I've already explained to your brother that we were not going to give him any problems, so don't.
00:11:14So this is what unbridled teenage male aches looks like, huh?
00:11:18Yeah.
00:11:20Hmm.
00:11:22But I guess your room's all, you know, cheerleading trophies, stuffed animals, miniature dollhouses.
00:11:27That, too.
00:11:29Sometimes my girlfriends and I have sleepovers.
00:11:32They almost always end in pillow fights and negligees.
00:11:36Nice.
00:11:41So, are you liking the bands?
00:11:45Yeah, unfortunately.
00:11:50And?
00:11:52And?
00:11:54Aren't you going to play me something?
00:11:57Um, well, you see, we're kind of in that formative stage.
00:12:00We're just kind of thinking of names for the band.
00:12:02We're not actually, you know, playing the songs.
00:12:05Well, at least you're honest.
00:12:07Mm-hmm.
00:12:08My brother used to play the piano.
00:12:10Oh, yeah?
00:12:11Yeah.
00:12:13I used to give it to him, you know.
00:12:15You should be outside playing baseball with your friends, not inside practicing.
00:12:22So one day he went outside.
00:12:26Heard about that.
00:12:29It was a heart attack, right?
00:12:33That's what they say.
00:12:34Okay.
00:12:38I'm sorry.
00:12:43I don't know.
00:12:44It happens.
00:12:54You know, I could teach you if you want.
00:12:57Oh, I don't know.
00:12:59Come on.
00:13:01Come on.
00:13:09I don't know.
00:13:12I don't know.
00:13:16I don't know.
00:13:20And then, uh, that one there.
00:13:23That one there.
00:13:24Hold them tight.
00:13:25Ready?
00:13:27Oh.
00:13:28That's a cheese.
00:13:30Which is about what I need to watch, baby.
00:13:32Okay.
00:13:33And then, uh, one, two.
00:13:35Oh, one more.
00:13:37One, two, three.
00:13:39Good and tight?
00:13:40Yeah.
00:13:43Hey.
00:13:44What about that?
00:13:45Oh, brother.
00:13:46Well, you need to use a little bit of, uh, face paint and a press of light, you know,
00:13:49and it's, uh, champagne and groupies from here on in.
00:13:52Sounds like you've thought about this.
00:13:54Hmm.
00:13:55Well, then you know.
00:14:04Ryan, I swear to God, if you're not out here in three seconds, I'm going to break your
00:14:08neck.
00:14:08Uh, that's okay.
00:14:09I have to go to work anyways.
00:14:11I worry about the domino effect.
00:14:13You know, the sheer pandemonium if I miss my shift at the donut hole.
00:14:16Mm-hmm.
00:14:17Anyways, some of us need real jobs.
00:14:19We can't rely on talent and three little fingers.
00:14:21Hmm.
00:14:22Um, just so you know, Ryan, when Mom and Dad leave, you're dead.
00:14:27You know, you should be nicer to him.
00:14:33I'm going to give you my number.
00:14:38Just in case he gives you any trouble.
00:14:43You think I could take him?
00:14:45Sure.
00:14:51Nice time, Mr. Williams.
00:15:19Oh, jeez.
00:15:23Would you two go already?
00:15:26Jeez.
00:15:28What?
00:15:30You're not going to have a party or anything.
00:15:32Don't worry.
00:15:33You better not.
00:15:34I wouldn't have had time to send out the invitations anyways.
00:15:37You know, you guys let this Ryan's condition thing keep you in his house like you're prisoners
00:15:41or something.
00:15:42When's the last time you guys went out, huh?
00:15:44A month?
00:15:45Two months?
00:15:46He's just a boy.
00:15:47I know he's just a boy, but I don't know.
00:15:50He's old enough not to be scared of the dark.
00:15:52What'd that doctor say?
00:15:54He gets like an hour of sleep a night?
00:15:56Of course the kid sees crap.
00:15:58I mean, what would you do?
00:16:00Stop.
00:16:01Sorry.
00:16:01Stop.
00:16:04Anyways, he's borderline clinical, huh?
00:16:07I'm one of the kids a little loopy.
00:16:09I mean, you would be too.
00:16:10Dr. Ross says that Ryan believes in it 100%.
00:16:13Yeah, well, I believe aliens crashed in Roswell.
00:16:17Doesn't necessarily mean it's true.
00:16:24Anyways, I just don't think it's normal.
00:16:27That's it.
00:16:28It's just not friggin' normal.
00:16:29I know that.
00:16:30Eric, would you say something?
00:16:32Well, Dr. Ross did say that we could...
00:16:34Don't you dare finish that sentence.
00:16:36I will not medicate our son ever.
00:16:40And you...
00:16:42Just don't let him out of your sight.
00:16:44Okay.
00:16:45Understood.
00:16:46I'll keep him out of the garbage disposal.
00:16:47That's not funny.
00:16:49Your brother's more responsibility than you know.
00:16:52You don't understand.
00:16:53You don't have kids.
00:16:55Actually, I've been meaning to talk to you guys about that.
00:16:59I...
00:17:01Sorry.
00:17:02Understood.
00:17:03I'm out of here.
00:17:10I'm out of here.
00:17:35Holy crap.
00:17:37Get out!
00:17:38Has Mom seen those?
00:17:39No, she hasn't seen those, and she's not going to!
00:17:45What the hell happened?
00:17:48Road rash.
00:17:49I crashed on my board.
00:17:51Right.
00:17:51You don't get something like that from...
00:17:55Look, if some kid's giving you trouble at school or something...
00:17:57Alright?
00:17:58I've been through that, okay?
00:18:02You know you can talk to me about anything, right?
00:18:04God, Dale, please.
00:18:06Please don't tell Mom.
00:18:07Give me your words you're not going to tell Mom or Dad.
00:18:09Okay.
00:18:10Alright, dude.
00:18:11Okay?
00:18:11I won't tell Mom or Dad.
00:18:14Promise.
00:18:19Hey.
00:18:20You can talk to me, okay?
00:18:21I'm your brother.
00:18:44I'm your brother.
00:18:47Can you believe it?
00:18:49Finally.
00:18:51Jeez.
00:18:52Hey.
00:18:53Don't worry about anything, okay?
00:18:55It's going to be fine.
00:18:56What do you think, Ken?
00:18:56Your old lady still got it?
00:18:58Beautiful as usual.
00:18:59Look good, Mom.
00:19:00You know, your father might be up for a big promotion tonight.
00:19:03Why are you talking about yourself in the third person?
00:19:06Do we have another dad we don't know about?
00:19:07Come on, I'll talk to you.
00:19:09The lights go out.
00:19:10The back of the lights are in the basement.
00:19:12The flashlights are in the kitchen cupboard.
00:19:14The floodlights run out the generator.
00:19:16The control panel is down in the basement.
00:19:18Okay.
00:19:18Dr. Ross' phone number is by the...
00:19:20Hey, we're fine.
00:19:21Hey, listen.
00:19:22This is important.
00:19:22I need you to listen.
00:19:23Okay.
00:19:23If you have an outage and you need...
00:19:25Hey, Dad.
00:19:27You know, I can hear you.
00:19:30Hey, listen.
00:19:31You call Dr. Ross, okay?
00:19:33You can help.
00:19:33Okay.
00:19:34Go make us some money, huh?
00:19:35All right.
00:19:36We love you both very much.
00:19:38Yep, and we trust you.
00:19:40We'll be home later, aren't we, Ryan?
00:19:46What do we say, honey?
00:19:48There's nothing there in the dark that isn't there in the light.
00:19:51Yeah.
00:19:52Hey.
00:19:53Silly kids go have a good time, huh?
00:19:55All right.
00:20:00Have fun.
00:20:02Lock this woodwork.
00:20:03Yeah.
00:20:08Did you check to see if the oven was off?
00:20:10Honey, come on.
00:20:11You're just stalling.
00:20:13They're going to be okay, right?
00:20:15Yes, they're going to be okay.
00:20:16You want to know why I know the oven's turned off?
00:20:18Because you haven't cooked anything in there in weeks.
00:20:20That's not funny.
00:20:25So, what do you want to do first, huh?
00:20:27Is that a fire for the place?
00:20:48What lovely, Ryan?
00:20:51Oh, yeah.
00:20:51That one, honey.
00:20:52Yeah.
00:21:01Smooth.
00:21:03They're going to smell that, you know.
00:21:05No, they're not.
00:21:06That's all kinds of time to disperse.
00:21:08They'll be back in a while.
00:21:09Don't worry about it.
00:21:15Do I have some?
00:21:16What?
00:21:16No, you can't have some.
00:21:18You're too young.
00:21:19Christ.
00:21:19Don't start this either.
00:21:26Do I have some ice cream or something?
00:21:27Yeah, sprinkles.
00:21:29Sprinkles cost more, you know that.
00:21:32I want your room.
00:21:33Mine's bigger than yours.
00:21:35And you want sprinkles.
00:21:36Your room has, like, hardly any light.
00:21:39Yeah, well, you have two big windows that the neighbors can look in and watch you change
00:21:42and stuff.
00:21:42No, they don't.
00:21:43Yeah, they do.
00:21:44Callisters, I hear they take pictures.
00:21:46Total perverts.
00:21:47Deal!
00:21:49Don't worry about it, okay?
00:21:50The lights aren't going to go out.
00:21:51Just chill.
00:21:52What if they do?
00:21:52We have flashlights, dude.
00:21:54It's not enough.
00:21:58Listen to me, all right?
00:21:59What if I promised you the lights won't go out?
00:22:02What if they do?
00:22:04Then I wouldn't be a very good big brother, would I?
00:22:07Jeez, I'll go get you your ice cream.
00:22:08Just calm down, okay?
00:22:10Hey, you're not going to leave me here, right?
00:22:13What?
00:22:14No matter what happens tonight, you're not going to leave me alone, right?
00:22:19No.
00:22:21Besides, I don't have a car.
00:22:22You know that.
00:22:23What if they do?
00:23:26I heard you. I heard you in the cellar.
00:23:56I heard you in the cellar.
00:24:22I heard you in the cellar.
00:25:21I heard you in the cellar.
00:25:31I heard you in the cellar.
00:25:52I heard you in the cellar.
00:25:56I heard you in the cellar.
00:26:36I heard you in the cellar.
00:26:50I heard you in the cellar.
00:27:35I heard you in the cellar.
00:27:37I heard you in the cellar.
00:27:43I heard you in the cellar.
00:27:54I heard you in the cellar.
00:28:37I heard you in the cellar.
00:29:05I heard you in the cellar.
00:29:08I heard you in the cellar.
00:29:08I heard you in the cellar.
00:29:18I heard you in the cellar.
00:29:54I heard you in the cellar.
00:29:58I heard you in the cellar.
00:30:01I heard you in the cellar.
00:30:11I heard you in the cellar.
00:30:15I heard you in the cellar.
00:30:33I heard you in the cellar.
00:30:35It's coming.
00:30:36I'll help.
00:30:40Just kidding.
00:30:44Unless you're scared of a couple of board games and a pair of shoes, I don't think you have anything
00:30:47to be worried about.
00:30:54What, the closet?
00:30:57Hello?
00:31:15Looks pretty good.
00:31:22Do you think I'm crazy?
00:31:25No. No, I don't think you're crazy. I think summer camp would do you a lot of good, but don't
00:31:31worry about it. Let's go.
00:31:47It's pretty good.
00:31:50There's always something in my room. Check the closet.
00:31:54Closet, yeah.
00:31:58Figures.
00:32:06You know what, Ryan? Hanging out with these hazards to my health. You know that, don't you?
00:32:13Ryan?
00:32:16Ryan?
00:32:17Dale.
00:32:19I don't like the thing in my closet.
00:32:22Wait a minute. You were...
00:32:23You were just...
00:32:26You could have swore.
00:32:29You know what, I'm getting too old for this stuff.
00:32:31You know it's just a coat in your closet, right?
00:32:35Sometimes it isn't, sometimes it isn't.
00:32:42Where else do you want to look, huh?
00:32:44I mean, there's only so many places in this house someone could be hiding, right?
00:32:49Let's go.
00:32:54Feeling any better?
00:32:56I'm sorry.
00:32:57Because I don't want you.
00:32:58I can't help it. I'm just kind of...
00:33:02You know what thunder is, right?
00:33:03God bowling?
00:33:04No, it's God playing drums. It's in this speed metal band called Holy War.
00:33:08Pretty good band, actually, but...
00:33:10Hey, we know Juggies.
00:33:18Make it easy, make it easy.
00:33:19Let's just...
00:33:20I know what he did. Just calm down.
00:33:21Make the lights come back on!
00:33:23Alright, take it.
00:33:24I want Mom!
00:33:24Okay, she's not here, Ryan.
00:33:26Calm down.
00:33:28Geez, Ry.
00:33:29Oh my God.
00:33:30Damn it, Ryan, you're getting on my nerves, okay?
00:33:33Hey, nothing's gonna happen to you, alright?
00:33:35I'm here, don't...
00:33:35Oh my God, I heard that. Did you hear that?
00:33:37No.
00:33:37I heard that. What was that?
00:33:38I didn't hear anything, okay?
00:33:39You're acting all crazy.
00:33:40I'm not crazy, okay?
00:33:42Just stop it!
00:33:45What?
00:33:46What are you looking at?
00:33:54What are you looking at, Ryan? Tell me what you're looking at.
00:33:57I don't know. What?
00:33:58Ryan, what are you looking at?
00:34:00The night things...
00:34:01It's starting...
00:34:02Look, Ryan, you're scaring the crap out of me, okay?
00:34:08Listen. Listen.
00:34:09There's nothing there in the dark that's not there in the light, okay?
00:34:12There's nothing there in the dark that's not in the light.
00:34:15You always say yes when Mom and Dad say it. Just listen to me.
00:34:19Okay?
00:34:20Hey.
00:34:21There's nothing there in the dark that's not there in the light.
00:34:24I mean, look.
00:34:27Okay?
00:34:28You alright?
00:34:29I thought I was losing you there for a second.
00:34:34Wait a minute.
00:34:35No, don't go.
00:34:37Why not? There's lights up there.
00:34:38There's not enough light up there at all.
00:34:40What's there in the dark that's not in the light, right?
00:34:42The dark.
00:34:43The dark's not a thing.
00:34:44It's alive.
00:34:46Okay.
00:34:46Dad bought it just for this occasion, alright?
00:34:48When something like this happens, he said there's lights up there.
00:34:51I'm gonna go get them, alright?
00:34:54Okay? Just hold on to the light.
00:35:05No, don't go. No.
00:35:06I'll be right back.
00:35:10I'll be right back.
00:35:16Well, let's take my time, let's go get that door.
00:35:24That'd be fine.
00:35:29Shut up.
00:35:35Fuckasaw.
00:35:35Fuck.
00:35:37Fuckasaw's.
00:35:38Fuckasaw.
00:35:38Fuckasaw.
00:35:40Fuckasaw!
00:35:53I don't know.
00:36:11Rai?
00:36:13Still down there?
00:36:44I don't know.
00:37:22Hey, Rai, I'm locked up here.
00:37:25Rai!
00:37:50I know you're there.
00:37:51I can hear you.
00:38:14Rai!
00:38:16Rai, let me down!
00:38:18Rai!
00:38:20Rai!
00:38:21What are you doing?
00:38:22The door's locked!
00:38:25Come on, Rai!
00:38:27What are you doing?
00:38:30Rai, open the door!
00:38:32Come on, let me down!
00:38:34Come on, Rai!
00:38:35Rai!
00:38:36Rai, open the door!
00:38:38Please!
00:38:40Rai!
00:38:41Let me down!
00:38:43Please!
00:38:43Open the door!
00:38:45Rai!
00:38:48Rai!
00:38:51Rai!
00:38:54Oh, God, Dale, are you okay?
00:38:56I'm sorry.
00:38:58That's it, Rai, okay?
00:39:00Ow!
00:39:01Are you all right?
00:39:02I thought you were being murdered down here.
00:39:04I...
00:39:04Give me that thing.
00:39:06Rai?
00:39:06You're going to kill someone with this thing.
00:39:08I'm sorry.
00:39:09There are faces.
00:39:10I'm serious.
00:39:11There are...
00:39:12There are...
00:39:13Faces.
00:39:15Rai?
00:39:15Faces?
00:39:16Look at me.
00:39:18You know what?
00:39:19You want this thing back?
00:39:20You go get it.
00:39:26You know I got locked up there, right?
00:39:27But of course you wouldn't know anything about that, would you?
00:39:30What?
00:39:30No!
00:39:32Obviously you did it, because we're the only two people here.
00:39:35What did you see?
00:39:38Nothing.
00:39:41What are you wearing?
00:39:42I feel safer with it on.
00:39:45Whatever.
00:39:47Oh, damn.
00:39:49If we broke this thing, Mom and Dad are going to be pissed.
00:39:53Can we call Mom and Dad?
00:39:55And tell them what?
00:39:56Did you lock me in the attic that you almost broke my neck?
00:39:59You know, I said I was sorry, and I didn't lock you in the attic.
00:40:02You know, I can't even reach, Dale.
00:40:04Whatever.
00:40:05There's a ladder, Rai, okay?
00:40:07There's a ladder.
00:40:08I don't like ladders.
00:40:09They can grab your feet to the openings and pull you through.
00:40:12And do what?
00:40:14Eat you.
00:40:16Eat you.
00:40:17That's what they do.
00:40:20They eat you.
00:40:25You look like a mental patient at a football game, okay?
00:40:28Anything that eats you is going to die from a nerf overdose, so I think you're pretty safe.
00:40:35Let's go get some food, huh?
00:40:41Do you see things in the dark, too?
00:40:44Yeah, absolutely.
00:40:45I see boxes and lamps and all kinds of scary stuff.
00:40:49You know, one time I saw a possum.
00:40:51Have you ever seen one of those things?
00:40:52It's pretty disgusting looking.
00:40:54I just need a shoe.
00:40:54I need a gun.
00:40:59Neil!
00:40:59Wait up!
00:41:10Man, it's like the Wizard of Oz outside.
00:41:14Yeah.
00:41:17You want a sandwich or a slap shot?
00:41:21It's a branch against the window.
00:41:26Well, if it's not, it's something else, right?
00:41:29Jeez.
00:41:30Just do me a favor.
00:41:31Just close your eyes and count to 40, you know?
00:41:33Count sheep.
00:41:34Do something.
00:41:38You know, in college, they say this is all you eat.
00:41:41Peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches.
00:41:43This one kid died from scurvy from not having enough fruits and vegetables and stuff.
00:41:56Hello?
00:41:57Have you checked the children?
00:42:00What?
00:42:00Who is this?
00:42:02I'm just kidding.
00:42:03Lighten up.
00:42:04Oh.
00:42:06Sorry, it's just...
00:42:07It's just been a really weird night.
00:42:09Kind of...
00:42:10Is the power out where you are?
00:42:12Yep.
00:42:13You see, unfrazzled.
00:42:14Is everything okay?
00:42:15Yeah.
00:42:15I mean, if almost getting killed by a brother and getting locked in the attic is fine, then
00:42:18yeah, great.
00:42:19Thanks.
00:42:21Sounds like you got your hands full.
00:42:23Are you following the babysitting three?
00:42:25The what?
00:42:33Uh, well, I don't know about the other two, but I didn't give him any coffee.
00:42:44Just one sec, okay?
00:42:45Is there a union for babysitters?
00:42:47Because I don't think I'm getting paid enough.
00:42:54Jeez.
00:42:55It's like the semi-perfect storm out there, huh?
00:42:58I know.
00:42:58We got a bunch of customers camped out here until it subsides.
00:43:01I'm just worried what's going to happen when the donuts run out.
00:43:05I don't know.
00:43:05Okay, I'll admit.
00:43:06Maybe I'm a little bit out of my health.
00:43:21I'm through.
00:43:22Okay.
00:43:29Hello?
00:43:31Hello?
00:43:34Hello?
00:43:35Oh. Weird.
00:43:39Phone just, uh...
00:43:50Neil!
00:43:52What's he doing now?
00:43:53Neil!
00:43:54Ryan, what's going on?
00:43:55What's going on?
00:43:57What'd you do to your face?
00:43:57Dale, he snatched me!
00:43:58Dale, are you still there?
00:44:00Hello?
00:44:00Guys?
00:44:02Would someone please talk to me?
00:44:04What?
00:44:05Dale, is Ryan okay?
00:44:07Ow!
00:44:07Ryan, you're bleeding everywhere!
00:44:09I was right here!
00:44:10I've moved, I swear!
00:44:12Dale, does Ryan need a doctor?
00:44:16Ryan, why were you messing with us?
00:44:17You've gotta believe me here to life!
00:44:19All right slow!
00:44:20No!
00:44:22No!
00:44:25No!
00:44:26No!
00:44:28No!
00:44:33No!
00:44:37No!
00:44:38It hurts!
00:44:44The statue...
00:44:45It...
00:44:46Don't!
00:44:46Ryan, just...
00:44:48Don't!
00:44:50Okay?
00:45:01No!
00:45:03Dale, please!
00:45:05Just tell me what did that, okay?
00:45:08Don't say you fell off your skateboard.
00:45:15Huh?
00:45:16It's them.
00:45:18The night things.
00:45:24Creatures?
00:45:27They can hurt you, Dale.
00:45:33You know, I think sometimes that there's two worlds.
00:45:36There's the light one and the dark one.
00:45:40They just switch when there's no light or sun or anything.
00:45:50I'm not alone anymore, Dale.
00:45:54I just can't see the things that are there.
00:46:00I'm not sick, Dale.
00:46:02And did you do that to yourself to make us believe you?
00:46:07No!
00:46:08No, Dale, I didn't.
00:46:11I'm not crazy, okay?
00:46:13I know what lives in this house.
00:46:14I know what lives in that basement.
00:46:16And I'm not crazy because I'm right, okay?
00:46:18Take it easy.
00:46:22Right.
00:46:27You don't know what it's like, Dale?
00:46:33I want someone to believe me.
00:46:36I need someone to believe me, Dale.
00:46:40I'm sorry.
00:46:42Right.
00:46:43I'm sorry.
00:46:44It was stupid for me to say that.
00:46:47I'm really sorry.
00:46:48Look, there's no TV and I get stupid like this all the time.
00:46:52In the basement.
00:46:53You don't have to explain yourself.
00:46:55Just fire me as a brother.
00:46:57Just call Dad and he'll do the paperwork.
00:46:59I got locked in the basement.
00:47:02What?
00:47:06I don't know how old I was.
00:47:08You know, I was young, I guess.
00:47:11Younger.
00:47:13I was playing with my action team super tank.
00:47:20And it fell down the steps.
00:47:51And it fell down the steps.
00:48:11And it fell down the steps.
00:48:22I don't know.
00:49:01I don't know.
00:49:23So what, then our house is haunted?
00:49:26No, not the house.
00:49:30The dark.
00:49:41What happens when the batteries give out?
00:49:43They won't.
00:49:45Do you promise?
00:49:46Yeah, I promise.
00:49:47Do you mean it?
00:49:49Look, there's floodlights in the front yard.
00:49:51They run off a generator downstairs right next to the circuit breaker.
00:49:54Mom and Dad told me not to use it unless there's an earthquake.
00:49:56No, don't go back into the basement, please.
00:49:59Why not?
00:50:00I've been through the entire school system, and no one's ever beaten me up.
00:50:03Do I look scared?
00:50:05Huh?
00:50:06Huh?
00:50:08Exactly.
00:50:10You believe me, don't you?
00:50:11You know, Sean Tate got you pretty good back in the sixth grade.
00:50:15Sean Tate fought dirty.
00:50:17He threw mud and he bit me.
00:50:21What was that?
00:50:23Nothing.
00:50:24Dale, don't.
00:50:25Come on, what was that?
00:50:25Nothing.
00:50:37Let's just go to the neighbors.
00:50:39We're not going to the neighbors, Rye.
00:50:41They're gone.
00:50:41It's Friday night.
00:50:42You know that.
00:50:43Besides, we're not getting driven out of our house because we're hearing noises.
00:50:51Dale.
00:50:52Dale, what's going on?
00:50:54Dale.
00:50:55Oh, my God.
00:50:57Dale.
00:50:58What the hell is going on?
00:51:00Something moved the furniture.
00:51:01It wasn't like this, Dale.
00:51:02Look, you've been in here too long.
00:51:04It's just our imagination.
00:51:09And that's it.
00:51:13Move back.
00:51:15No.
00:51:17No, no, no.
00:51:19It didn't move at all.
00:51:20Dale.
00:51:23It's just our imagination.
00:51:25Dale, no.
00:51:25We have to call mom and dad.
00:51:26No, the lines are out, Rye.
00:51:29No way.
00:51:31Oh, my God.
00:51:34Oh, my God.
00:51:44I could have swore I saw something.
00:51:46Down by mom and dad's room?
00:51:48Yeah.
00:51:52It's probably nothing, though.
00:51:53I mean, you know, I'm going to go check, though.
00:51:57Wait.
00:52:02A baseball bat.
00:52:05Can't be too careful.
00:52:07Trust me.
00:52:09Whatever.
00:52:10Let's go bag us a boom.
00:52:17Bye.
00:52:25Oh, my God.
00:52:30Bye.
00:52:48Wait a minute.
00:52:49What?
00:52:50Footprints.
00:52:51There'd be footprints on the ground.
00:52:52If someone was down here, there would be footprints on the ground
00:52:54because they would have been outside, right?
00:52:55Dale, what if they were in here the whole time?
00:53:22What the hell is that?
00:53:26Hema, why did you go up the walls with something?
00:53:30I didn't do that.
00:53:32Why? That definitely wasn't there, okay?
00:53:34You obviously did that with something.
00:53:36I'm not that tall, Dale.
00:53:39Dad just finished painting this room.
00:53:40He's going to be pissed.
00:54:07Look, I'm going to go get the door, okay?
00:54:09Dale, just...
00:54:10Hey, I'll be right back, okay?
00:54:13I'm going to go.
00:54:14Everything's going to be fine.
00:54:15Just stay here, okay?
00:54:17Stay here.
00:54:19I'll be right back.
00:54:50I'll be right back.
00:54:56I'll be right back.
00:55:20What the hell is going on?
00:55:22What the hell is going on?
00:55:23What the hell is going on?
00:55:51What the hell is going on?
00:55:52What the hell is going on?
00:56:05What the hell is going on?
00:56:27I don't know.
00:56:48I don't know.
00:57:19I don't know.
00:57:34I don't know.
00:57:46I don't know.
00:57:50I don't know.
00:58:19I don't know.
00:58:47Are you okay?
00:58:49Are you okay, Rob?
00:58:50I don't know.
00:59:34It's hot under here.
00:59:35You saw it, Dale.
00:59:37No.
00:59:39No, I didn't.
00:59:41The night things, they were right there.
00:59:44I saw them, and you saw them.
00:59:48You're more comfortable under here.
00:59:49You're more comfortable under here, right?
00:59:51Nothing can get you as long as you're under the covers.
00:59:53I don't know.
00:59:55I don't know.
00:59:57I don't know.
01:00:11I don't know.
01:00:17I don't know.
01:00:19I don't know.
01:00:28You know what?
01:00:30I don't know.
01:00:32I don't know.
01:00:33I don't know.
01:00:35It's just my imagination.
01:00:36And it's just your imagination, too.
01:00:39All right?
01:00:40You know what?
01:00:41You don't help out a bit.
01:00:42I swear to God, what you friggin' have is contagious.
01:00:46They're pale, like they've never been at a beach or even outside.
01:00:51What?
01:00:53They're tall, Dale, and thin and white.
01:00:58Like a Dracula.
01:01:02But sometimes they're black, like a cowboy.
01:01:06But with a big, long, black coat and a hat.
01:01:12Those guys smile, Dale.
01:01:15With teeth.
01:01:17I've never seen them.
01:01:18It's because you don't want to.
01:01:20Look, Rye, I'm scared too, okay?
01:01:23Alright, I hate storms, I hate blackouts, I hate all of this.
01:01:26Just bear with me, okay? I'm trying here.
01:01:29Please.
01:01:30Shh.
01:01:32Quiet.
01:01:33What?
01:01:34You know we're here.
01:01:38This right here is what it's like for me.
01:01:41Every single night.
01:01:45They walk around looking for part of me that's not under the bed or under the covers.
01:01:51I keep everything tucked in, Dale.
01:01:53Everything.
01:01:56Who is it?
01:01:59Who's there?
01:02:00It's the night things.
01:02:02It's the wind.
01:02:03It's just a draft or something.
01:02:05Just don't talk.
01:02:06Don't, don't even breathe.
01:02:08What if we're dreaming, huh?
01:02:10What if this is just a nightmare?
01:02:12That's gotta be what it is.
01:02:13No, it's not.
01:02:13Then what's outside the covers?
01:02:17Don't talk.
01:02:18Don't.
01:02:18I'm getting out of here.
01:02:19No.
01:02:20Rye, I'm gonna get out there and there's gonna be nothing, okay?
01:02:22It'll be nothing, I promise you.
01:02:24No, Dale, we both see it.
01:02:25No, we don't see anything, okay?
01:02:27Maybe you do, but I don't.
01:02:28I'm gonna get out there and there won't be anything, I promise.
01:02:30Dale, there's gotta be something.
01:02:32Look, we have to face it.
01:02:33It doesn't care how brave you are.
01:02:37Oh!
01:03:03Crazy storm we've been having, huh?
01:03:05Yeah.
01:03:06Hey.
01:03:08Lucky I didn't take a swing at you.
01:03:11Actually, you're lucky.
01:03:15Hey, Chief.
01:03:18What's all this?
01:03:20Protection.
01:03:21Protection?
01:03:23Against what?
01:03:26Monsters.
01:03:29Monsters?
01:03:30You mean like the kind that hide under your bed and in your closet?
01:03:35Yeah.
01:03:37Yeah.
01:03:38Well, protection's a really good idea.
01:03:42I mean, did you make all this?
01:03:44Yeah.
01:03:45I also, uh, made some traps and I set panic stations throughout the house just, you know,
01:03:54just in case.
01:03:55Really?
01:03:57Well, maybe you can help me because I've actually been having a problem with a monster in my room
01:04:02for a few years.
01:04:05Really?
01:04:06Yeah.
01:04:08Hey.
01:04:09Hey.
01:04:09You could show me how to work some of this stuff.
01:04:13What do you say?
01:04:16Yeah.
01:04:17Sure, I wanna.
01:04:19Great.
01:04:20Let's go.
01:04:22All right.
01:04:39Look at this place.
01:04:44You seem to think I'm, uh, pretty weird, huh?
01:04:47What?
01:04:49Why?
01:04:51Because I'm scared.
01:04:53No.
01:04:54I think you're exhausted.
01:04:57You know, weird.
01:04:58Being afraid is pretty normal.
01:05:01So what are you afraid of?
01:05:04Me?
01:05:06Um, failure, I guess?
01:05:09No, not, not grown-up stuff.
01:05:17Well, one time my younger brother and I were fooling around in this old barn.
01:05:23And we were attacked by wild dogs.
01:05:28Gosh.
01:05:29It was terrifying.
01:05:32I mean, all I remember were these teeth and eyes.
01:05:40Still have scars.
01:05:44So, um, I guess that's what I'm afraid of.
01:05:48Dogs.
01:05:51Really?
01:05:53It's pretty dumb, huh?
01:05:56I, I don't like being afraid.
01:06:02Did you ever think that maybe it's your belief in these things that gives them their power over you?
01:06:10I mean, it works both ways.
01:06:15What if you believed that they couldn't hurt you?
01:06:18Would you still be afraid?
01:06:21Maybe, maybe fear is the key.
01:06:23Maybe the more scared you are, the stronger they get.
01:06:27All you have to do is try to stop being scared and maybe they'll go away.
01:06:31And you're the only person who can stop it.
01:06:35I don't know, I, I think you're probably one of the bravest people I've ever met.
01:06:41Having to deal with this stuff every night, all alone.
01:06:45Heck, you're my hero.
01:06:51Will you stay with me, even after I've fallen asleep?
01:06:57Promise?
01:06:59I cross my heart.
01:07:02Anyways.
01:07:04You have to get on your PJs.
01:07:07You have to get on your PJs.
01:07:57I have to get on your PJs.
01:07:59I don't know.
01:08:31Hey.
01:08:32Hey.
01:08:34What'd I miss?
01:08:35Not much. He's out.
01:08:37You know, he's a pretty sweet kid.
01:08:40Yeah.
01:08:41You know, you're good with him.
01:08:45I was listening. I'm sorry.
01:08:47Well, that's okay.
01:08:51So, you think this family's a little bit too weird for words?
01:08:55Well, I got a little boy who wants to believe so much in the world around him.
01:09:00And an older brother who'd do anything for that boy.
01:09:04Including embarrass himself in front of a girl.
01:09:06I'm not going to let that one down, am I?
01:09:09No.
01:09:13Seriously, though.
01:09:16I saw some stuff tonight.
01:09:18I mean, not just your ordinary, you know, bumps and grinds in the house.
01:09:26It wasn't normal, what I saw tonight.
01:09:28I got hard to explain.
01:09:31You know, all that boy wants is to be normal.
01:09:36I mean, think about it.
01:09:38He's seeing stuff and everyone is telling him he's not.
01:09:41But, you know, every time he goes to tell someone, they say he's wrong and he shouldn't be feeling what
01:09:50he's feeling.
01:09:52But he's saying he's not going to tell anyone.
01:09:54He's just going to deal with it on his own terms.
01:10:01You're like the resident expert?
01:10:03Sorry.
01:10:05No, it's...
01:10:07It's just that you're right and...
01:10:11I don't...
01:10:12I just don't know why.
01:10:13Oh, it's not your fault.
01:10:16Believe me, it's woven into the very fabric of our society.
01:10:21For example, Alice in Wonderland, our most popular folklore, is based on an acid trip.
01:10:26Ring Around the Rosie, the bubonic plague, Grimm's fairy tales, child-eating witches and poisoned apples.
01:10:32I mean, even Rockabye Baby ends with a baby crashing to the ground.
01:10:36I'm not even saying anything about the prayer we're supposed to say before we go to bed at night.
01:10:40If I die before I wake.
01:10:42That's not very reassuring stuff.
01:10:45Well, we had one in our family that used to work a lot better.
01:10:48It said, Dear Lord, please protect us from the beasties and weirdies.
01:10:53Leaves and ghosties, the days we don't know.
01:10:56Cool.
01:10:56What is your name?
01:10:58What is your name?
01:11:02What is your name?
01:11:04You have the name.
01:11:06We have the name.
01:11:14You have the name.
01:11:35I don't know.
01:12:17I don't know.
01:12:26I'll be right back.
01:12:27Brian!
01:12:28Brian!
01:12:39Brian, there's something there!
01:12:43Open the door!
01:12:48Brian!
01:12:58Brian, don't be afraid!
01:13:00You have to believe me!
01:13:01There's nothing there!
01:13:07Brian, let me in!
01:13:13No!
01:13:14No, no, no, no, no!
01:13:16Don't!
01:13:19Come on!
01:13:21Come on!
01:13:30You have to be right back!
01:13:35Dormit!
01:13:38Dormit!
01:13:41There's nothing here!
01:13:44Oh, come on!
01:13:47Oh!
01:13:50Oh!
01:14:03Oh!
01:14:04Oh!
01:14:06Oh!
01:14:07Oh!
01:14:07Oh!
01:14:07Oh!
01:14:08Oh!
01:14:30Oh, shit!
01:14:32Who's there?
01:14:39C'mon, c'mon!
01:14:52Yes!
01:14:53Yes!
01:15:03Oh, darn it.
01:15:07Hello?
01:15:09Hello?
01:15:12Hello?
01:15:18Are you okay?
01:15:20Yeah.
01:15:20Are you sure?
01:15:21Yes, I'm fine.
01:15:22Mom, we have to go get Dale.
01:15:23C'mon!
01:15:26Hello?
01:15:38No, we have to leave.
01:15:40What are you doing?
01:15:46Did you hear them?
01:15:47No, I have to help Dale.
01:15:48No, Ryan!
01:15:49I have to help Dale!
01:15:52Hey, don't leave me.
01:15:53I have to help Dale!
01:16:07I'll help Dale!
01:16:12I'll help Dale!
01:16:17Run!
01:16:19Run!
01:16:20Run!
01:16:20Run!
01:16:20No!
01:16:20My children fucked everyone!
01:16:22Ryan!
01:16:22Help!

01:17:13Okay?
01:17:35God, Dale! Are you alright?
01:17:37Ow!
01:17:38Are you okay, Danny?
01:17:39Ow!
01:17:39What happened? What happened to your leg?
01:17:43It's over, though.
01:17:44Okay.
01:17:45It's over, though.
01:17:46We beat him.
01:17:47Oh, my God.
01:17:50We beat him.
01:17:53It's Mom and Dad.
01:17:54Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:17:55Go get them, okay?
01:17:55Okay.
01:18:04Are you okay?
01:18:05Hey.
01:18:06Hi.
01:18:06I...
01:18:07I was really worrying...
01:18:08um...
01:18:09about you.
01:18:33You need anything else?
01:18:35Nope.
01:18:36Good.
01:18:36All right.
01:18:37Thanks, though.
01:18:38What exactly were you two doing, anyway?
01:18:41I don't know.
01:18:42Just running around.
01:18:45Don't you think you're a little old for that?
01:18:47Not that he was...
01:18:50He was just trying to keep an eye on me.
01:18:53How are you, huh?
01:18:54How'd you handle the blackout?
01:18:58You know, I was...
01:18:59I was okay.
01:19:02You want to talk to anybody?
01:19:05Nope.
01:19:06I'm pretty good.
01:19:07You know, when I fell down the stairs, he just...
01:19:10He was down there in a second.
01:19:11Lights out and everything.
01:19:14I was pretty impressed.
01:19:15I realize when you're up and at him again, you're grounded.
01:19:18What?
01:19:19You can't have girls over here when we're not at home.
01:19:23God, Mom, I didn't even invite her.
01:19:25She just came over.
01:19:26Oh, sure.
01:19:29That's what I get for blowing my knee out.
01:19:31This is fantastic.
01:19:32When you're better.
01:19:34You get some last champ.
01:19:35We're gonna talk about this tomorrow, okay?
01:19:38I look forward to it.
01:19:41Night.
01:19:42Get to sleep.
01:19:45Hey.
01:19:48We're gonna be okay, right?
01:19:50Yeah.
01:19:52Yeah, we're gonna be fine.
01:19:55Okay.
01:19:55Do you promise?
01:19:58Promise.
01:20:00It's good, because I wouldn't run out the fire.
01:20:01He was a big brother.
01:20:04Thanks for giving me a second chance.
01:20:06Yeah.
01:20:15Hey, Rye.
01:20:16Yeah?
01:20:18Will you, uh, keep the lights on?
01:20:22Dale.
01:20:23There's nothing there in the dark that's not there in the light.
01:20:26You know that.
01:20:29Yeah.
01:20:30Yeah.
01:20:37there's nothing there in the dark that's not there in the light
01:20:41there's nothing there in the dark that's not there in the light
01:20:44there's nothing there in the dark that's not there in the light
01:20:50there's nothing there in the dark that's not there in the light
01:21:03Oh, God.
