The Fostered (2025) Movie Script
1
It's okay.
It's okay. We're okay. Just--
You just gotta keep driving.
Just keep--
Don't... do that.
This is their fault.
It's not yours.
They stole your life from you.
As pathetic as it
was, they took it from you.
It's not gonna fit.
Hey.
Dinner should be done in a few
minutes if you want to
find a show.
Okay.
No, no. They were
just trying to help us.
Help us?
She doesn't want to help us.
She wants us gone.
She wants you gone.
If she really wanted to help us,
she never would had us sent to
that shit hole.
She's gonna find a new husband.
A new father.
Stop!
They're going to hate you.
And her.
She's going to scream.
Enough!
Open the door.
Val. Honey,
open the door, please.
Go!
But Morgan...
No, go, go, go, go, go.
I'm not mad, I promise.
There's no problems,
no medications, no issues.
I swear.
Just open the door, love.
911,
what's your emergency?
There's a man trying
to break into my house.
Mom.
You don't give them the address.
They'll trace the call.
Open the damn door.
Whatever happens stay in here.
Momma.
Promise me.
Is everything okay?
You look worried.
Who are you hiding?
I--I don't know what
you're talking about, Steven.
It's just me.
It's just you?
No one here but us.
Where are the girls?
At a friend's house.
Let me get you some pills.
I told you!
Shhh.
I don't need any pills.
Dr. Stone
said that?
Dr. Stone is only worried about
making another boat payment.
He doesn't care.
Where is he?
There's no one else here.
It's just you and me.
Okay?
That's it.
It's just us, Mahal.
You're gonna lie to me?
Lie to me?
Amy!
One second.
Amy!
Okay.
Let's go, we're hungry.
I'll be right there.
Amy still hassling
you about having kids?
Nah, she's gotten
over it for the most part.
Hell, I couldn't imagine
throwing away 18 years of
my life.
Why? You threw
away 12 going to school.
What the hell is
Heather doing here?
Her and Amy are doing
some stupid book club thing.
And you couldn't say, "Hey,
Matt, you know that girl you
have a thing for?
Yeah, well.
Maybe not dress
like you're homeless."
Oh right, yeah, cause that
would've made all the
difference.
Ladies.
Hey Heather, hold up.
Nope.
What do you mean nope?
I mean if you're
gonna ask me out again, no.
Oh, all right, but we
both know that you can't resist
this lump of love forever.
You realize you chose
to be his friend, right?
And part-time lover.
My man!
Ooh.
Bad time?
No, this is a perfect time.
Perfect time to
get some of this.
Yeah.
- Okay, do you want your
sandwich on the floor?
- Yo yo yo, I was just playing.
Can you get me another beer?
I'm closest to
the door. I can grab you one.
Maybe you've had enough?
Let's not do
that right now, please.
I'm just saying if you still
have work to do that you might
want to--
I might want to what, Amy?
I've had two beers.
OK, I'm sorry.
Where were you anyway?
I was working on my book.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, babe.
Damn tractor's
been stressing me out.
It's okay, I get it.
You're not hungry?
No, just put it on the counter.
I'll grab it later.
I can make
you something else if--
No no, it's fine. Thank you.
Break it up lovebirds.
Sorry.
- Thank you.
- Mhm.
Wanna get back to work?
I haven't finished yet.
Take it with you.
Oh, okay.
You want to not?
Or what?
Guys.
The agency called.
You ever been to a farm before?
No.
I think you're gonna love it.
It's nice and quiet and
there's tons of room to play.
Reminds me of a horror film.
Oh, have you seen
a lot of horror films?
No, I think they're creepy.
I like your doll.
My sister used to have one just
like that when we were little.
My mother gave it to me.
You know, if you ever
need to talk about, whatever.
I'm here for you.
You guys made it.
So?
What do you think?
Don't wander too far.
They can't even get these
kids a thrift store suitcase.
Well, you should have seen the
conditions of the foster
facility.
And what was
with that creepy doll?
She said her mom
gave it to her, so go easy.
You know, that's not
exactly the safest place to be
playing.
Why don't we, uh, stay
away from there until Kevin can
get it covered better?
You wanna come
check out your new room?
There are two beds, so
someone has to make a decision.
Come on.
I'm choosing.
Well, that was an
easy enough decision.
And, uh, feel free to
rearrange the beds or whatever.
And obviously there's
the dresser for clothes or
you can use
the closet, of course.
Whatever makes you feel at home.
It's nice.
Thank you.
I know it's a little dusty,
but I promise everything is
brand new.
Kevin and I just
never got a chance to use it.
Why?
Is it
because you can't have kids?
Um...
There was a point in time,
actually, where I was pregnant,
but there were,
um, complications.
And, uh...
Anyway, it's all in the past.
Here we are.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
Life always has a
way of working itself out.
So, um, get comfortable
and I will let you
know when dinner's ready.
Miss Amy?
Oh, you can call me Amy.
Or...
Yeah, Amy's fine.
Thank you.
You're welcome, sweetheart.
Uh, Mrs. Amy...
What?
I was just trying to be nice.
So, what do you think?
It's not home.
At least Amy seems nice.
Seems nice?
Dad seemed nice too.
And I'm not sure if you
remembered what happened there.
That's
not what I'm saying.
I don't care.
We don't
even know these people.
Why do we need to?
Everything OK?
Were you spying on us?
I heard some noise.
I just wanted to make
sure everything was okay.
We're fine
I'll leave you be then.
Is that creepy doll
gonna be at every meal?
So, um, do you like your room?
It's okay.
Oh, sweetie, maybe we can try
not talking with our mouth full.
And uh...
What about you?
Are you not hungry?
Not really.
So, like what do you guys do?
Uh well, Kevin runs the farm
and he does a lot of the
mechanic and engineering work
himself.
Although sometimes our friend
Matt comes over to help him out.
But you'll meet him.
What about you?
Uh, I am writing a book.
You're a writer?
Mostly she's a housewife.
Yeah, I--I do do a lot
of work around the house
but, um, I have been
making a lot of progress
with my book, so I've been--
Well, I don't know about you but
I haven't seen any checks show
up in the mailbox so.
Mostly it's a hobby.
I'm just saying don't count
your chickens before they hatch.
What's it about?
Um...
It's nothing, really.
He's right.
It's, uh, more of a hobby.
Maybe you should tell me
more about your book later.
Yeah.
I--I'd really like that.
Well, y'all enjoy that?
I am gonna crash.
Gotta get up early and see if
I can't get that tractor fixed.
Okay.
It's supposed to
rain next week, so uh.
I got to get the field
cut and bailed before then.
Uh, I'm gonna need that coffee a
little bit stronger in the
morning, babe.
And uh...
See if I can't...
Find some
chores that need doing.
Okay.
He'll grow on you.
Oh...
Must be something I ate.
Oh, honey,
don't worry about that.
I can get that.
No.
I was gonna bring
it to my room with me.
Oh, uh, we usually
don't eat in our bedrooms.
But you know what?
Maybe we can make a little
exception just for tonight,
in case someone
gets a little hungry.
Good night.
I just had the damn thing.
Did you check under the bed?
Have you seen me under the bed?
No, I just thought that...
Then why would
it be under the bed?
Because maybe you've dropped it
and kicked it under there or
something.
I don't know.
It's just so hot in here.
What's up
with that kid and her doll?
What do you mean?
I don't know...
Aren't you, uh,
a little
worried she might be off?
Mmm, you found it?
We just need to give
her some time to adjust.
Yeah, well.
She better make it quick.
I don't wanna see that creepy
thing floating around my house
forever.
Her or the doll?
Either.
Look, I know
that this is hard, but...
Imagine how it's got to
be for a kid in this situation.
Losing her mother, everything
that happened with the father?
I mean, can you even imagine?
Aren't you
concerned she might be...
...affected, like mentally.
Well, yeah, I'm sure
she's devastated and scared,
and of course there's probably
going to be some issues.
But that's what we're here for.
No, that's what
therapists are here for, okay?
I'm telling
you, something's off.
No girl should be carrying
a doll around at that age.
Think of it like
a security blanket.
I'm sure when she gets
comfortable she's not going to
need it any more.
Still creepy.
I remember my sister used to
have a doll like that when we
were little.
She used to carry it
everywhere and I hated it.
One time I even tried to hide
it from her when we were at
a store,
hoping she wouldn't
be able to find it and
we'd have to leave without it.
Good story and all but
It would be better if it ended
with you hiding the Annabel doll
floating around our house.
Good night.
Amy seems nice.
Doubtful.
At least she's a good cook.
And it's kind of
cool that she writes books.
Great. Maybe she can write
us out of this horror story.
Not every one's bad, you know.
And besides, I'm pretty
sure Amy couldn't harm a fly.
And Kevin?
What about him?
You're so naive.
You mean hopeful?
I mean naive.
These people could be anybody.
Chances are he's a piece of crap
and beats your precious
little Amy.
What's that supposed to mean?
It means I could see the way you
just sit there all quiet and
stare at Amy.
And now you're all,
"Amy does this, Amy does that".
"She's so great."
I never said she's great.
I just said she seems nice.
Fine. End
up like Mom.
Dad had problems.
How do you know Kevin doesn't?
I'm not
listening to you anymore.
Good night.
Keep being soft
and see what happens.
I said good night.
Ahh!
Oww!
Oh my God.
What did you do?
I'm sorry.
I was thirsty and...
Bed!
It was an accident.
Now!
It's fine.
It's not fine.
Look at your foot.
She should not be wandering
around the house this late
at night.
Hold still.
Ah!
You all right?
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Okay.
- Let's get you wrapped up.
- Okay.
All right, hold that.
- Put your arms around me.
- Okay.
I got you.
Okay.
Come on.
I really don't care if
you're talking to me or not.
If you're not going to talk,
then I guess I don't need you.
Do I?
If you don't need me,
then why don't I just leave?
Really?
You really think
you don't need me?
- Oww!
- What?
That hurt?
How do you think this felt?
That's the kind of
thing you wanna keep happening?
Your problem
is, you're too soft.
If you didn't have me,
you would have never made out
of that room where Dad left us.
Not everyone's like Dad!
Yeah, but most people are.
They're crappy people who
are going to do crappy things.
The only people we can count on
is each other.
Ow, jerk face.
That's what you get.
Now get it together.
Hey.
Who's that?
She seems awfully friendly
considering Kevin's married.
Do you really think
he'd do something like Dad?
I don't know
But I wouldn't put it past him.
He did get angry
pretty fast last night.
I don't know.
I wasn't really
a fan of this one.
Really?
I thought you would have--
Oh. Heather,
this is Morgan and Madison.
Sweetie, let's be
polite and say hello.
Hi.
Hi.
A little shy. That's okay.
We'll get to know
each other soon enough.
Where are you headed?
Uh, I thought maybe
I could go help Kevin.
Fun!
Just remember to stay
out of his way and be careful.
It was nice
meeting you Morgan, and...
Sorry.
So awful what
happened to the parents.
I'd be skittish
too after what happened.
Could you imagine?
You'd think you could trust
somebody that close to you.
Yeah, you'd think.
How about I make us some coffee?
Oh, okay.
I'm still in here.
Son of a bitch!
Real mature.
Who's this?
Morgan.
Oh, this is one of them kids Amy
was trying to get from that
place, right.
No, it's just a stray
we picked up down by the river.
Oh, I bet.
So what you just sign
up and they give you a kid?
Not exactly
that simple, but yeah.
It's better to get 'em at this
age than do the full eighteen,
I imagine, right?
I suppose.
It is what it is.
So what are you,
like ten or something?
Twelve.
Aren't you a little
old be playing with a doll?
Aren't you a
little fat for a candy bar?
Shit.
You might be
all right after all.
Whatever.
That kid of yours,
man, is weird as shit.
A little bit.
Still not my kid.
So what's up
with you and Heather?
What do you mean?
I saw you talking yesterday.
Just thanking
her for a beer is all.
I mean, I think it was a little
close for a "thanks," man.
Is there
something you're trying to say?
I just don't think Amy would
like a girl that hot standing
that close.
That's all.
Oh, well, I
appreciate your concern.
Now you wanna give me a hand?
You want to grab
the wrench, smart ass?
So how long have you
been working on your book?
Uh, a couple of years now.
That seems like a long time
to write a book if you ask me.
It does
seem like a long time.
Sometimes life
just, uh, gets in the way.
You do a lot for Kevin.
Well, he deserves it.
He works really hard
and that pays the bills.
Where do I put this?
In Kevin.
In that block over there.
I'd like to hear a
little bit more about your book.
You know, I actually don't know.
It's, um, I don't know
if it's actually that great.
Please.
It'd be like a
good bonding moment.
Okay.
Yeah, um.
Why don't you finish up in here,
and I will grab my notebook,
and maybe we can
dive into it later tonight?
- Okay.
- Okay.
Uh, if you
could just put two scoops
in the top
of the coffee machine,
Coffee's gross, by the way.
It just helps Kevin wake
up and be a little less cranky.
"It can be like
a good bonding moment."
Stop.
You stop. Your ass
kissing is making me sick.
I don't know why
you're always so negative.
Because, I could see the way
you're catching feelings
for Amy.
And the closer you get to these
people, the more likely they'll
hurt you.
If it wasn't for me, you'd
probably jump into any van that
pulls up offering candy.
Depends on the candy.
You're so stupid.
What?
- Huh?
- You're being weird.
Just go do your bonding.
Whatever, weirdo.
Sorry. I'm just not
really sure where to start.
Uh...
You know, maybe this
wasn't such a good idea.
Come on, you can't back out now.
How about I give
you the short version?
Thank you.
All right, so...
It
starts with this little girl
who loves
her teddy bears so much
that she brings it
with her everywhere she goes.
Kind of like me and my doll.
Kinda like me my doll.
Yeah.
Something like that.
So, this little girl, uh
makes a new
friend, a little boy.
But he is an angry little boy.
and he only wants
her to play with just him
and not the teddy bear anymore.
Okay, are you sure
you want to hear this?
I actually don't know
that it's that great of a story.
No, it is.
Keep going.
Okay.
Umm...
One day, the little boy
and little girl are at the store
because the mom is
babysitting the little boy.
I forgot to say that.
Uh... And
they're playing in the store
and the little girl sees
a toy she wants to play with.
So she puts the teddy
bear down on the ground.
And the little boy sees this.
And when the
little girl isn't looking,
he kicks the teddy bear
under the shelf so
that she can't find it.
And from then on,
the little girl was really sad.
Because, even though she still
had the little boy to play with,
she had lost her best friend.
Wait.
That's it?
She never finds the bear again?
Lost forever.
I don't get it.
Well, not every story
has a fairy tale ending.
Sometimes in life,
the people
that are closest to you,
the ones
that you trust the most,
can just take.
And leave you with nothing.
But hey, at least you
still have your doll, right?
Yeah, I guess so.
Yeah.
Well, you get some sleep.
Okay?
Good night.
Night.
Night.
Hey, Morgan.
If she really
means that much to you,
don't ever let her go.
What?
Wha --?
What happened?
I think someone
was just in here.
What?
It was probably
just a bad dream.
Go back to bed.
You have to be up early.
How am I
supposed to fall asleep?
I think that creepy
kid was just in here.
In my face, like some sort
of serial killer or something.
Seriously, Kevin?
What?
Happy?
I swear someone
was just in here.
All right, I'll go check.
Sound asleep.
Are you sure?
I could wake 'em up and ask.
The hell's my other boot?
Ohh!
Jesus Kevin.
Explain this!
I must have just
missed that last night.
Give me that.
I found it under our bed.
I told you,
there is something off.
Wait, you think
someone's hiding things?
No I--
I'm saying someone
someone is probably all jacked
up in the head from the whole
murder thing.
A lot of those kids end up
cutters and sadistic
little weirdos
who end up torturing
kittens and baby birds and shit.
Wait, you think there's
actually a chance of a cutting
or suicide?
I don't care if there is.
I'm more concerned that we're
going to end up in the
crosshairs, all right?
I mean, I found
that in our bedroom.
Wait, hold on.
Do you even hear
yourself right now?
You sound ridiculous.
And besides, there's been
plenty of things popping up
under our bed
that you could
have sworn weren't there.
I'm not worried I'm going to get
stabbed in my sleep by a sock.
Okay well, if we actually think
that there's a risk of cutting
or something,
don't you think we should be
trying to help,
not placing blame?
I'm just saying ever since--
- What are you
guys talking about? - Ahem.
Umm... we
were, uh...
I don't have time for this shit.
Kevin.
What's wrong with him?
Nothing.
He just...
woke up on the wrong
side of the bed, that's all.
Hey, um,
is everything okay?
Yeah, why?
Uh...
No reason.
I just wanted to
make sure that you knew
if you ever needed to talk about
anything you could come to me.
Because we're a family now.
Okay?
Okay.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
What are you doing?
Coffee's really bad for you.
You shouldn't be drinking it.
Well, that's very sweet
of you to look out for me,
but coffee's really actually
not all that bad for you.
I know. I just want to make
sure you're around as long as
possible.
That's all.
Because we're family now.
We are.
Are you okay?
Yes sweetie, I'm fine.
I just think I ate something
that didn't agree with me.
Hello?
Just a second.
Hey, how you doing?
Okay.
I don't know what happened.
I just, um...
I felt fine.
And then the next second I--
Uh, maybe we
should read another time.
Okay.
Could I get you anything?
Water? Crackers?
I'm okay.
I'm good.
Thank you.
Uh, try to get some rest.
Thanks.
I saw that look, and now
all of a sudden Amy's sick.
And?
And I want to know if
you had anything to do with it.
Why would I want to
hurt your precious Amy?
And what do you care anyway?
You know they don't
really care about us, right?
Actually, I think Amy does care.
And she kind of
reminds me of mom a little.
She is a little like mom, huh?
Yeah, and she really is nice.
Forget about Amy for a second.
What about Kevin and how he is?
He hasn't done anything.
That's a bunch of
crap and you know it.
Don't act like you
can't tell he has a temper,
and a drinking problem.
If we don't do something to
get rid of him, Amy never will.
You've heard how he
talks her and how she allows it.
We both know how this plays out.
He gets loud,
then physical.
You don't know that for sure.
And don't you think it'd
hurt Amy if we break them up?
Not the way he will hurt her.
Maybe "we" won't
have to do anything.
Shit.
What are you doing out here?
I'm gonna give you
another go around, cowboy.
Come on, stop.
Stop it.
I said stop.
You want to play rough, Daddy?
I'm not playing
with you, all right?
I already told
you it was a mistake.
Don't give me that,
"Boohoo, I was drunk."
You knew exactly
what you were doing.
Yeah, maybe, but
believe me when I tell you,
you were the
biggest mistake of my life.
Wrong.
The biggest mistake you ever
made was choosing her over me.
I promise your happy little
family will all regret that
mistake.
Who said you
could come out here?
It's not what
you think, we were just--
Getting into a little argument.
And your shirt got ripped open?
You know what?
Why don't you go play
with your creepy little doll?
Forget you were
ever out here, huh?
If you were having an argument,
maybe I should go get Amy.
She's an adult,
maybe she can help.
No, no, no. Hey, wait a second--
- Amy!
- Hey, hey, okay okay.
Okay.
Amy and I are going to have
so many things to talk about.
You think this is funny?
No wonder your
daddy did what he did.
You've only been here a
few days and I'm already about
to lose it.
I suggest you learn to
keep your mouth shut real fast--
Is everything ok?
I heard screaming.
Yeah.
She, uh...
She just saw a mouse.
It scared her a little, I guess.
Right?
Yeah, the mouse,
right over there.
Oh, thank God.
I heard a scream.
I thought someone got hurt.
Not yet.
What?
You know kids, always getting
into something that can get
'em hurt.
Speaking of being hurt...
- Kevin was having a
fight with- Amy, Amy!
Amy, Amy, Amy.
Hey.
It's okay.
I got you, I got you.
What happened?
You passed out.
No, I feel fine.
Maybe you should
take her to a doctor.
A doctor would be a good idea.
No, it's okay, it's okay.
I feel fine. I'm just--
Hey, hey! I
got you. All right.
- Okay. All right.
- She's right.
I can finish this work later.
Why don't you go inside and grab
the keys off the counter,
all right?
- Okay.
- Come on. You're okay.
- All right?
- Yeah.
Hey, all right,
all right, all right.
Take it easy.
- I got you.
- Okay.
All right.
Step up.
Easy, there you go.
All right,
move the legs over here.
Okay, all right.
Keys!
Stay inside till we're back.
What if the
agency sends someone by?
Why don't you call Heather and
see if she can come back for a
little bit?
I'll call Matt. If he
can't, I'll text Heather.
He's only a couple minutes away.
You won't be home
alone long, all right?
Don't get into anything.
You have our cell
number if you need it.
Numbers are on the
fridge if there's an emergency.
We'll be back soon.
I told you he can't be trusted.
It'll never reach.
What do you want?
What are we gonna do
about Kevin and Heather?
Can't we just
let Amy deal with it?
Maybe she'll make him leave.
Remember what happened
when Mom made Dad leave?
And don't act like you
didn't hear him threaten you.
At least I didn't just
sit there with my mouth shut.
If we don't do something soon,
Amy's gonna end up like mom.
And we're gonna end end up--
End up what?
Say it.
Imagine that.
You've nothing to say again.
If you're not going to help,
then why don't you just go away?
Really?
I said--
No!
Someone help!
Someone help!
Please!
Madison, I'm sorry.
Please come back.
I need you.
Over here.
Hurry, she fell in
and now I can't reach her.
Who fell in?
The doll.
I accidentally dropped
her, and now I can't reach her.
I'll see if I can reach her.
Got a message from Kevin,
said you need a babysitter.
Yeah.
Me too, from Amy.
Saying that they're headed to
the hospital and need someone.
Lucky me, I guess.
Not again.
What is your uppity problem?
Excuse me?
What is it,
no ring, no fling, Heather?
You're an asshole.
Can you give us a minute?
Sure.
Yeah, I say you leave it.
You know what?
All you are is
Kevin's little sidekick.
And that's all you'll ever be.
Little dog.
Picking up scraps,
You know, before
you point that fat finger at me,
I know all about you
trying to make a move on Amy
when Kevin was
out of town last year.
You know what?
Like that doll down there?
That drowning doll?
You're in over your head.
All you are to Kevin is
just another piece of ass.
What the hell, Matt!
Help me!
No!
I know you saw that.
I think we should
talk about our options.
Options?
What options?
We're having a baby.
But how did this even happen?
How did this happen?
After the miscarriage I
didn't think this was possible.
Well, apparently not.
You're making me do
this whole foster thing now.
I-I'm sorry. I've got you
doing this whole foster thing?
You agreed to it.
You signed the papers.
And now you go and
get yourself pregnant.
Get myself pregnant?
Pretty sure that
took the both of us, Kevin.
I never
made you do anything.
I'm just saying, Amy...
This is our
chance to get back on track.
Back to the
family we always wanted.
The dream we lost
when we left the hospital
that day without our girls.
You think that was easy for me?
You think it was easy
for me to deliver my babies,
knowing I was never
going to bring them home?
You think that was easy for me?
These foster kids,
they have been
through unimaginable tragedies.
And all you can think
about is how inconvenient it is
for you to have
them in your house.
We're already a family, Kevin.
Whether you like it or not.
Yes, we are.
We are not.
That baby is ours.
And I'm sorry. I'm not taking
away from ours to give to
someone else's.
Don't worry about it.
We don't have to do anything.
Only I do.
Amy, that's not what I meant.
You know what, Kevin?
Sometimes I just really miss
the man I fell in love with.
Shit!
Oh!
Why are you
always being so creepy?
I didn't mean it like that.
Yes, you did.
You know what? Yeah, I did.
'Cause you're always
popping up out of nowhere,
carrying around
that creepy little doll.
Where is that
little monster anyway?
Waiting under my bed,
getting ready to chop me
into pieces while I'm sleeping?
I dropped her in the well.
Isn't that the
one your mom gave you?
Let's go.
I can't believe I'm about
to save Chucky from the well.
Do you see it?
Yeah, she's
kind of hard to miss.
Did you get it?
Almost, hang on.
Just
reach a little further.
You're welcome.
Or not...
Now what do we do?
Stick together.
Promise you
won't leave me again?
Promise.
Dinner's really good.
Thank you, sweetheart.
You sure it's okay?
You've barely touched it.
I'm not exactly
feeling the best right now.
Yeah, well, eating this
ain't going to help too much.
I'm sorry, is this
not good enough for you?
It's lasagna.
All you did was heat it up.
Imagine that.
Something else you don't want.
All right, that's a
little extreme, don't you think?
Babe, listen, come here.
Get off her!
Kevin!
Get out of my house.
It was an accident.
Out.
Fine.
I'm sick of
this bullshit anyway.
Looks like you might
be getting a little bump.
I'll get you
some ice, all right?
Why does he want to hurt us?
He didn't mean to hurt you.
It was just an accident, okay?
It was in an accident
when he tried to hurt you.
I'm gonna go get
you some ice, okay?
I didn't mean for things
to go down like that tonight.
That was an accident.
You know that, right?
It's just been a long week.
Barn's still not done, still
dealing with the tractor shit.
On top of the foster thing.
Now we're having a baby.
It's just
a lot to take in, you know.
You're drunk.
I only had a few.
You said that you weren't
gonna have more than two.
What happened to that?
I know, I'm sorry, baby...
Don't...
don't Kevin...
I'm sorry.
Don't, don't.
All right.
I think you should
take the couch tonight.
And don't ever even think about
hurting me or my children again.
What happened to two-drink Amy?
That giggling fun girl I used to
have to carry home from the bar,
when she was brave enough
to have more than two beers.
She grew up, Kevin.
One of us had to.
Do we have any --
Oh!
What's all
the screaming about?
Son of a bitch.
Oh, my gosh, Matt.
I didn't
know that it was you.
I just wanted a snack, jeez!
I didn't know you
were coming by today. I-I--
Why is everyone being so loud?
Let me grab you
an ice pack, okay?
Amy, no, it's fine really.
Here, just take it.
What the hell's all this racket?
It was an accident.
What's wrong with your face?
Come on-- Ahh.
I don't see shit.
- Ow! Man...
- Kevin!
You know,
when Kevin asked for help,
I wouldn't have shown up if I'd
known I was gonna be beaten and
laughed at.
It looks like he just got
kicked in the face by a horse.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That swelling
looks pretty bad, too.
I see your stupid
doll made out of the well.
Fatty!
Okay, that's enough.
All right,
let's get to work, man.
Really?
You know, your kid's
creepier than that damned doll.
Still not my kid.
Wrench!
Yeah.
You find it yet?
No.
I don't even
think it's electrical.
So what's with the foster thing?
Is that like a forever or what?
I sure hope not.
Amy's been a bitch ever since.
I'm about sick of it.
Oh, I hear you. That Morgan's
a little shit too, huh?
You're telling me.
[KEVIN[ Think the murder thing's
got her all screwed up in
the head.
Couldn't they just send
these types of kids to go live
with a family member or
something?
No, dickhead.
If they had family, they
wouldn't be in foster care now,
would they?
So now what?
I don't know.
With Amy being pregnant--
Wait.
Amy's pregnant?
Yeah.
Wait, back up, man.
How does that even happen?
I thought she
couldn't have kids.
That's what I said.
So now we gotta deal with the
baby thing and the foster thing,
and I'm...
just... I don't even know.
Can't you just
give foster kids back?
I gotta figure something out.
I can't do both.
Well, you could
always drop off in the woods.
Or down that well.
You've said some pretty
harsh shit man,
but that's jacked up.
Can you
hand me the wire cutters?
Yeah.
Looks like
one of the relays got hit.
And I'm pretty sure
I don't have another one, so...
How's it going guys?
It's all right.
I gotta run to town for a piece.
A piece?
Yeah, a piece, a part.
Why are you always
questioning everything?
I was just wondering.
Okay, while I'm gone, go ahead,
drop the oil in the filter.
Don't be gone too long--
I figured it was
the least I could do.
Thanks.
Doesn't look too bad, does it?
Uhh...
Could be worse.
I guess I'll just have to
rely on this sexy body of mine
to attract the ladies.
So, um, what did Kevin
have to go into town for?
I think he said something
about an electrical relay or
something.
There's a part, though?
Yeah, I really don't know, Amy.
Kevin doesn't always
tell me what's going on.
I feel like he
just disappears at times.
Yeah.
You don't think, um...
Never mind.
Enjoy.
Yaahh!
Gotcha.
Hey, I'm sorry.
I was just playing.
You forgot your doll.
You are a creepy
little thing, aren't you?
All you are to Kevin
is just another piece of ass.
No!
Let's do something with
him before Amy starts wondering
where we're at.
And we have to do
something about her, too.
Are you gonna help me?
Are you seriously just
gonna stand there and watch me?
Lunch!
What ya doing?
Nothing. We
were just playing.
Oh, okay.
Well, lunch is ready.
Okay, we'll be there in a sec.
All right.
Just make sure you're not
getting into any of Kevin's
things, okay?
Where's Matt?
Um he--
He-he had to
head out or something.
Okay.
Just come get
washed up, we'll eat, okay?
Come on.
Just leave him.
That's not gonna help.
Just leave him.
We'll get it later.
Did you get your piece?
Yep.
Hey.
Are we gonna be okay?
That's up to you.
What, uh...
What you got there?
You're not gonna hurt Amy again.
I'm just...
checking on her, is all.
I wasn't asking.
I was telling.
- Amy, Amy, wake up.
- - Wha--
- What? What?
- Wake up.
Is everything okay? What--
You have to come see this.
Okay.
- Come on.
- Okay.
Okay.
What, Kevin? What?
Shh, shh.
All right?
See?
She just needed some
time to get used to you.
- No, no, no. A second ago,
she was standing...
- Kevin, stop. Just come on.
Come back to bed.
Come on, come on.
Come to bed.
I don't think I can do it again.
There's got to be another way.
And what way's that?
You heard him.
He's going to get
rid of us any way he can.
I don't know about you,
but I sure to want to end up at
the bottom of the well like
Heather.
C-can't we just call
the cops or something?
And what? Start over
at another foster home?
At least here you
have your precious Amy.
Stop calling her that. And no.
Feel your head.
Do you want to end up like this?
I can't do it.
I can't.
Oh, we're doing it.
I said no!
Get off me.
No, not until you promise.
He's going to drop you off in
the woods or drown you in
the well.
What?
Don't act like you didn't hear
it too.
You can always
drop 'em off in the woods.
Or down that well.
Man, that's jacked up.
Hard to place blame
on yourself, isn't it?
Reminds me of a horror film.
We don't
even know these people.
Why do we need to?
Oww!
Jerk face!
Now get it together.
No!
Now stop
acting like this isn't you.
Like I'm not you.
You brought me here and now
all you want to do is fight me.
Well, guess what?
Without me,
you're nothing.
What's your problem anyways?
You don't even like Kevin.
Get off me!
Get off me.
Sweetie, sweetie, sweetie,
hey, hey, hey, it's okay.
It's okay.
You were just
having a bad dream.
Okay, you're all right.
You're okay.
You all right?
Yeah.
Okay.
I was just going
to make some dinner.
Can we help?
Sure, of course.
Then I saw Heather.
Hey.
What, are we talking secrets?
Just girl talk.
Have you seen Matt?
No.
Have you seen Heather?
Can we talk for a second?
Sure.
Alone?
Hey sweetie, can you go play?
Kevin and I need a minute.
I've
been, uh, thinking...
a lot about it,
when I went to town yesterday.
I just don't know how
safe I feel with Morgan here,
if we're going to
have a baby in this house.
You know,
speaking of going into town,
you were gone
an awful long time.
Did you get a piece?
What?
The piece you
went into town for.
Did you get it?
They sold you a used one?
They were out of stock.
So they had to grab one
off the machine in the back,
and that
takes a little while.
What the hell
is this about, Amy?
I don't know you tell me, Kevin.
You're the one who's
always disappearing into town.
Because the
machines need to be fixed.
You know, I haven't
seen Heather in a long time.
Did you happen to run into
her when you went into town?
You know, when you
went to get a piece?
When you're done,
with your little pity party,
done
feeling sorry for yourself,
I'll be in the shop.
Drunk, I'm sure.
You go back to playing house
and pretending to be a mommy.
I'm sorry, sweetie,
we were just talking.
Did you get a piece?
You're not gonna hurt Amy again.
Amy, open the door!
Go away, Kevin.
Honey...
Go sleep on the couch.
Open the damn door!
Wakey, wakey.
Why don't we just leave him?
If we just leave him,
someone's going to find him
and we'll for sure
end up somewhere awful.
Why don't we
just find a wheelbarrow,
and dump him in the
well, and we're done.
I'm not going to
be able to lift him.
That's perfect.
We wait till
morning and pretend to find him.
Exactly!
We leave him
there, then call the cops,
and say we saw Kevin
trying to hide him there.
And then, when they show up,
they find him and Heather.
And then...
No more Kevin.
I knew you'd come around.
Always playing with
something that's going to get
you hurt.
Don't stop what
you're doing on account of me.
Why don't you come on over here
so we can have us a little talk.
Or I'll come over there.
Okay.
Speechless, huh?
Well, you had plenty to
say earlier today, didn't you?
You wanna tell
me what you told Amy?
Nothing? Huh?!
I know what'll make you talk.
Agh!
Speak!
Agh!
Amy!
Run! Run,
go! Go. Run!
Amy...
Look what you made me do!
Before you came along...
Everything was perfect.
No kids,
no questions,
no problems!
You're about
to get the ass whipping
you should have been
given a long time ago!
- Are you okay? Are you okay?
- No.
Your new book is here!
Oh, that's
great, sweetie, that's great.
Just give me one second, okay?
Um, no. I've actually been
doing pretty well, Dr. Stone,
thank you.
I know. It's hard to believe
Kevin was capable of something
like that.
Morgan's been great!
She's been a wonderful help,
and an amazing big sister.
Okay.
Sounds good, Dr. Stone.
Yes. I'll let
you know if we need anything.
Okay. Bye bye.
You must be Morgan.
Morgan, this is Eddie.
It's okay.
It's okay. We're okay. Just--
You just gotta keep driving.
Just keep--
Don't... do that.
This is their fault.
It's not yours.
They stole your life from you.
As pathetic as it
was, they took it from you.
It's not gonna fit.
Hey.
Dinner should be done in a few
minutes if you want to
find a show.
Okay.
No, no. They were
just trying to help us.
Help us?
She doesn't want to help us.
She wants us gone.
She wants you gone.
If she really wanted to help us,
she never would had us sent to
that shit hole.
She's gonna find a new husband.
A new father.
Stop!
They're going to hate you.
And her.
She's going to scream.
Enough!
Open the door.
Val. Honey,
open the door, please.
Go!
But Morgan...
No, go, go, go, go, go.
I'm not mad, I promise.
There's no problems,
no medications, no issues.
I swear.
Just open the door, love.
911,
what's your emergency?
There's a man trying
to break into my house.
Mom.
You don't give them the address.
They'll trace the call.
Open the damn door.
Whatever happens stay in here.
Momma.
Promise me.
Is everything okay?
You look worried.
Who are you hiding?
I--I don't know what
you're talking about, Steven.
It's just me.
It's just you?
No one here but us.
Where are the girls?
At a friend's house.
Let me get you some pills.
I told you!
Shhh.
I don't need any pills.
Dr. Stone
said that?
Dr. Stone is only worried about
making another boat payment.
He doesn't care.
Where is he?
There's no one else here.
It's just you and me.
Okay?
That's it.
It's just us, Mahal.
You're gonna lie to me?
Lie to me?
Amy!
One second.
Amy!
Okay.
Let's go, we're hungry.
I'll be right there.
Amy still hassling
you about having kids?
Nah, she's gotten
over it for the most part.
Hell, I couldn't imagine
throwing away 18 years of
my life.
Why? You threw
away 12 going to school.
What the hell is
Heather doing here?
Her and Amy are doing
some stupid book club thing.
And you couldn't say, "Hey,
Matt, you know that girl you
have a thing for?
Yeah, well.
Maybe not dress
like you're homeless."
Oh right, yeah, cause that
would've made all the
difference.
Ladies.
Hey Heather, hold up.
Nope.
What do you mean nope?
I mean if you're
gonna ask me out again, no.
Oh, all right, but we
both know that you can't resist
this lump of love forever.
You realize you chose
to be his friend, right?
And part-time lover.
My man!
Ooh.
Bad time?
No, this is a perfect time.
Perfect time to
get some of this.
Yeah.
- Okay, do you want your
sandwich on the floor?
- Yo yo yo, I was just playing.
Can you get me another beer?
I'm closest to
the door. I can grab you one.
Maybe you've had enough?
Let's not do
that right now, please.
I'm just saying if you still
have work to do that you might
want to--
I might want to what, Amy?
I've had two beers.
OK, I'm sorry.
Where were you anyway?
I was working on my book.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, babe.
Damn tractor's
been stressing me out.
It's okay, I get it.
You're not hungry?
No, just put it on the counter.
I'll grab it later.
I can make
you something else if--
No no, it's fine. Thank you.
Break it up lovebirds.
Sorry.
- Thank you.
- Mhm.
Wanna get back to work?
I haven't finished yet.
Take it with you.
Oh, okay.
You want to not?
Or what?
Guys.
The agency called.
You ever been to a farm before?
No.
I think you're gonna love it.
It's nice and quiet and
there's tons of room to play.
Reminds me of a horror film.
Oh, have you seen
a lot of horror films?
No, I think they're creepy.
I like your doll.
My sister used to have one just
like that when we were little.
My mother gave it to me.
You know, if you ever
need to talk about, whatever.
I'm here for you.
You guys made it.
So?
What do you think?
Don't wander too far.
They can't even get these
kids a thrift store suitcase.
Well, you should have seen the
conditions of the foster
facility.
And what was
with that creepy doll?
She said her mom
gave it to her, so go easy.
You know, that's not
exactly the safest place to be
playing.
Why don't we, uh, stay
away from there until Kevin can
get it covered better?
You wanna come
check out your new room?
There are two beds, so
someone has to make a decision.
Come on.
I'm choosing.
Well, that was an
easy enough decision.
And, uh, feel free to
rearrange the beds or whatever.
And obviously there's
the dresser for clothes or
you can use
the closet, of course.
Whatever makes you feel at home.
It's nice.
Thank you.
I know it's a little dusty,
but I promise everything is
brand new.
Kevin and I just
never got a chance to use it.
Why?
Is it
because you can't have kids?
Um...
There was a point in time,
actually, where I was pregnant,
but there were,
um, complications.
And, uh...
Anyway, it's all in the past.
Here we are.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
Life always has a
way of working itself out.
So, um, get comfortable
and I will let you
know when dinner's ready.
Miss Amy?
Oh, you can call me Amy.
Or...
Yeah, Amy's fine.
Thank you.
You're welcome, sweetheart.
Uh, Mrs. Amy...
What?
I was just trying to be nice.
So, what do you think?
It's not home.
At least Amy seems nice.
Seems nice?
Dad seemed nice too.
And I'm not sure if you
remembered what happened there.
That's
not what I'm saying.
I don't care.
We don't
even know these people.
Why do we need to?
Everything OK?
Were you spying on us?
I heard some noise.
I just wanted to make
sure everything was okay.
We're fine
I'll leave you be then.
Is that creepy doll
gonna be at every meal?
So, um, do you like your room?
It's okay.
Oh, sweetie, maybe we can try
not talking with our mouth full.
And uh...
What about you?
Are you not hungry?
Not really.
So, like what do you guys do?
Uh well, Kevin runs the farm
and he does a lot of the
mechanic and engineering work
himself.
Although sometimes our friend
Matt comes over to help him out.
But you'll meet him.
What about you?
Uh, I am writing a book.
You're a writer?
Mostly she's a housewife.
Yeah, I--I do do a lot
of work around the house
but, um, I have been
making a lot of progress
with my book, so I've been--
Well, I don't know about you but
I haven't seen any checks show
up in the mailbox so.
Mostly it's a hobby.
I'm just saying don't count
your chickens before they hatch.
What's it about?
Um...
It's nothing, really.
He's right.
It's, uh, more of a hobby.
Maybe you should tell me
more about your book later.
Yeah.
I--I'd really like that.
Well, y'all enjoy that?
I am gonna crash.
Gotta get up early and see if
I can't get that tractor fixed.
Okay.
It's supposed to
rain next week, so uh.
I got to get the field
cut and bailed before then.
Uh, I'm gonna need that coffee a
little bit stronger in the
morning, babe.
And uh...
See if I can't...
Find some
chores that need doing.
Okay.
He'll grow on you.
Oh...
Must be something I ate.
Oh, honey,
don't worry about that.
I can get that.
No.
I was gonna bring
it to my room with me.
Oh, uh, we usually
don't eat in our bedrooms.
But you know what?
Maybe we can make a little
exception just for tonight,
in case someone
gets a little hungry.
Good night.
I just had the damn thing.
Did you check under the bed?
Have you seen me under the bed?
No, I just thought that...
Then why would
it be under the bed?
Because maybe you've dropped it
and kicked it under there or
something.
I don't know.
It's just so hot in here.
What's up
with that kid and her doll?
What do you mean?
I don't know...
Aren't you, uh,
a little
worried she might be off?
Mmm, you found it?
We just need to give
her some time to adjust.
Yeah, well.
She better make it quick.
I don't wanna see that creepy
thing floating around my house
forever.
Her or the doll?
Either.
Look, I know
that this is hard, but...
Imagine how it's got to
be for a kid in this situation.
Losing her mother, everything
that happened with the father?
I mean, can you even imagine?
Aren't you
concerned she might be...
...affected, like mentally.
Well, yeah, I'm sure
she's devastated and scared,
and of course there's probably
going to be some issues.
But that's what we're here for.
No, that's what
therapists are here for, okay?
I'm telling
you, something's off.
No girl should be carrying
a doll around at that age.
Think of it like
a security blanket.
I'm sure when she gets
comfortable she's not going to
need it any more.
Still creepy.
I remember my sister used to
have a doll like that when we
were little.
She used to carry it
everywhere and I hated it.
One time I even tried to hide
it from her when we were at
a store,
hoping she wouldn't
be able to find it and
we'd have to leave without it.
Good story and all but
It would be better if it ended
with you hiding the Annabel doll
floating around our house.
Good night.
Amy seems nice.
Doubtful.
At least she's a good cook.
And it's kind of
cool that she writes books.
Great. Maybe she can write
us out of this horror story.
Not every one's bad, you know.
And besides, I'm pretty
sure Amy couldn't harm a fly.
And Kevin?
What about him?
You're so naive.
You mean hopeful?
I mean naive.
These people could be anybody.
Chances are he's a piece of crap
and beats your precious
little Amy.
What's that supposed to mean?
It means I could see the way you
just sit there all quiet and
stare at Amy.
And now you're all,
"Amy does this, Amy does that".
"She's so great."
I never said she's great.
I just said she seems nice.
Fine. End
up like Mom.
Dad had problems.
How do you know Kevin doesn't?
I'm not
listening to you anymore.
Good night.
Keep being soft
and see what happens.
I said good night.
Ahh!
Oww!
Oh my God.
What did you do?
I'm sorry.
I was thirsty and...
Bed!
It was an accident.
Now!
It's fine.
It's not fine.
Look at your foot.
She should not be wandering
around the house this late
at night.
Hold still.
Ah!
You all right?
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Okay.
- Let's get you wrapped up.
- Okay.
All right, hold that.
- Put your arms around me.
- Okay.
I got you.
Okay.
Come on.
I really don't care if
you're talking to me or not.
If you're not going to talk,
then I guess I don't need you.
Do I?
If you don't need me,
then why don't I just leave?
Really?
You really think
you don't need me?
- Oww!
- What?
That hurt?
How do you think this felt?
That's the kind of
thing you wanna keep happening?
Your problem
is, you're too soft.
If you didn't have me,
you would have never made out
of that room where Dad left us.
Not everyone's like Dad!
Yeah, but most people are.
They're crappy people who
are going to do crappy things.
The only people we can count on
is each other.
Ow, jerk face.
That's what you get.
Now get it together.
Hey.
Who's that?
She seems awfully friendly
considering Kevin's married.
Do you really think
he'd do something like Dad?
I don't know
But I wouldn't put it past him.
He did get angry
pretty fast last night.
I don't know.
I wasn't really
a fan of this one.
Really?
I thought you would have--
Oh. Heather,
this is Morgan and Madison.
Sweetie, let's be
polite and say hello.
Hi.
Hi.
A little shy. That's okay.
We'll get to know
each other soon enough.
Where are you headed?
Uh, I thought maybe
I could go help Kevin.
Fun!
Just remember to stay
out of his way and be careful.
It was nice
meeting you Morgan, and...
Sorry.
So awful what
happened to the parents.
I'd be skittish
too after what happened.
Could you imagine?
You'd think you could trust
somebody that close to you.
Yeah, you'd think.
How about I make us some coffee?
Oh, okay.
I'm still in here.
Son of a bitch!
Real mature.
Who's this?
Morgan.
Oh, this is one of them kids Amy
was trying to get from that
place, right.
No, it's just a stray
we picked up down by the river.
Oh, I bet.
So what you just sign
up and they give you a kid?
Not exactly
that simple, but yeah.
It's better to get 'em at this
age than do the full eighteen,
I imagine, right?
I suppose.
It is what it is.
So what are you,
like ten or something?
Twelve.
Aren't you a little
old be playing with a doll?
Aren't you a
little fat for a candy bar?
Shit.
You might be
all right after all.
Whatever.
That kid of yours,
man, is weird as shit.
A little bit.
Still not my kid.
So what's up
with you and Heather?
What do you mean?
I saw you talking yesterday.
Just thanking
her for a beer is all.
I mean, I think it was a little
close for a "thanks," man.
Is there
something you're trying to say?
I just don't think Amy would
like a girl that hot standing
that close.
That's all.
Oh, well, I
appreciate your concern.
Now you wanna give me a hand?
You want to grab
the wrench, smart ass?
So how long have you
been working on your book?
Uh, a couple of years now.
That seems like a long time
to write a book if you ask me.
It does
seem like a long time.
Sometimes life
just, uh, gets in the way.
You do a lot for Kevin.
Well, he deserves it.
He works really hard
and that pays the bills.
Where do I put this?
In Kevin.
In that block over there.
I'd like to hear a
little bit more about your book.
You know, I actually don't know.
It's, um, I don't know
if it's actually that great.
Please.
It'd be like a
good bonding moment.
Okay.
Yeah, um.
Why don't you finish up in here,
and I will grab my notebook,
and maybe we can
dive into it later tonight?
- Okay.
- Okay.
Uh, if you
could just put two scoops
in the top
of the coffee machine,
Coffee's gross, by the way.
It just helps Kevin wake
up and be a little less cranky.
"It can be like
a good bonding moment."
Stop.
You stop. Your ass
kissing is making me sick.
I don't know why
you're always so negative.
Because, I could see the way
you're catching feelings
for Amy.
And the closer you get to these
people, the more likely they'll
hurt you.
If it wasn't for me, you'd
probably jump into any van that
pulls up offering candy.
Depends on the candy.
You're so stupid.
What?
- Huh?
- You're being weird.
Just go do your bonding.
Whatever, weirdo.
Sorry. I'm just not
really sure where to start.
Uh...
You know, maybe this
wasn't such a good idea.
Come on, you can't back out now.
How about I give
you the short version?
Thank you.
All right, so...
It
starts with this little girl
who loves
her teddy bears so much
that she brings it
with her everywhere she goes.
Kind of like me and my doll.
Kinda like me my doll.
Yeah.
Something like that.
So, this little girl, uh
makes a new
friend, a little boy.
But he is an angry little boy.
and he only wants
her to play with just him
and not the teddy bear anymore.
Okay, are you sure
you want to hear this?
I actually don't know
that it's that great of a story.
No, it is.
Keep going.
Okay.
Umm...
One day, the little boy
and little girl are at the store
because the mom is
babysitting the little boy.
I forgot to say that.
Uh... And
they're playing in the store
and the little girl sees
a toy she wants to play with.
So she puts the teddy
bear down on the ground.
And the little boy sees this.
And when the
little girl isn't looking,
he kicks the teddy bear
under the shelf so
that she can't find it.
And from then on,
the little girl was really sad.
Because, even though she still
had the little boy to play with,
she had lost her best friend.
Wait.
That's it?
She never finds the bear again?
Lost forever.
I don't get it.
Well, not every story
has a fairy tale ending.
Sometimes in life,
the people
that are closest to you,
the ones
that you trust the most,
can just take.
And leave you with nothing.
But hey, at least you
still have your doll, right?
Yeah, I guess so.
Yeah.
Well, you get some sleep.
Okay?
Good night.
Night.
Night.
Hey, Morgan.
If she really
means that much to you,
don't ever let her go.
What?
Wha --?
What happened?
I think someone
was just in here.
What?
It was probably
just a bad dream.
Go back to bed.
You have to be up early.
How am I
supposed to fall asleep?
I think that creepy
kid was just in here.
In my face, like some sort
of serial killer or something.
Seriously, Kevin?
What?
Happy?
I swear someone
was just in here.
All right, I'll go check.
Sound asleep.
Are you sure?
I could wake 'em up and ask.
The hell's my other boot?
Ohh!
Jesus Kevin.
Explain this!
I must have just
missed that last night.
Give me that.
I found it under our bed.
I told you,
there is something off.
Wait, you think
someone's hiding things?
No I--
I'm saying someone
someone is probably all jacked
up in the head from the whole
murder thing.
A lot of those kids end up
cutters and sadistic
little weirdos
who end up torturing
kittens and baby birds and shit.
Wait, you think there's
actually a chance of a cutting
or suicide?
I don't care if there is.
I'm more concerned that we're
going to end up in the
crosshairs, all right?
I mean, I found
that in our bedroom.
Wait, hold on.
Do you even hear
yourself right now?
You sound ridiculous.
And besides, there's been
plenty of things popping up
under our bed
that you could
have sworn weren't there.
I'm not worried I'm going to get
stabbed in my sleep by a sock.
Okay well, if we actually think
that there's a risk of cutting
or something,
don't you think we should be
trying to help,
not placing blame?
I'm just saying ever since--
- What are you
guys talking about? - Ahem.
Umm... we
were, uh...
I don't have time for this shit.
Kevin.
What's wrong with him?
Nothing.
He just...
woke up on the wrong
side of the bed, that's all.
Hey, um,
is everything okay?
Yeah, why?
Uh...
No reason.
I just wanted to
make sure that you knew
if you ever needed to talk about
anything you could come to me.
Because we're a family now.
Okay?
Okay.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
What are you doing?
Coffee's really bad for you.
You shouldn't be drinking it.
Well, that's very sweet
of you to look out for me,
but coffee's really actually
not all that bad for you.
I know. I just want to make
sure you're around as long as
possible.
That's all.
Because we're family now.
We are.
Are you okay?
Yes sweetie, I'm fine.
I just think I ate something
that didn't agree with me.
Hello?
Just a second.
Hey, how you doing?
Okay.
I don't know what happened.
I just, um...
I felt fine.
And then the next second I--
Uh, maybe we
should read another time.
Okay.
Could I get you anything?
Water? Crackers?
I'm okay.
I'm good.
Thank you.
Uh, try to get some rest.
Thanks.
I saw that look, and now
all of a sudden Amy's sick.
And?
And I want to know if
you had anything to do with it.
Why would I want to
hurt your precious Amy?
And what do you care anyway?
You know they don't
really care about us, right?
Actually, I think Amy does care.
And she kind of
reminds me of mom a little.
She is a little like mom, huh?
Yeah, and she really is nice.
Forget about Amy for a second.
What about Kevin and how he is?
He hasn't done anything.
That's a bunch of
crap and you know it.
Don't act like you
can't tell he has a temper,
and a drinking problem.
If we don't do something to
get rid of him, Amy never will.
You've heard how he
talks her and how she allows it.
We both know how this plays out.
He gets loud,
then physical.
You don't know that for sure.
And don't you think it'd
hurt Amy if we break them up?
Not the way he will hurt her.
Maybe "we" won't
have to do anything.
Shit.
What are you doing out here?
I'm gonna give you
another go around, cowboy.
Come on, stop.
Stop it.
I said stop.
You want to play rough, Daddy?
I'm not playing
with you, all right?
I already told
you it was a mistake.
Don't give me that,
"Boohoo, I was drunk."
You knew exactly
what you were doing.
Yeah, maybe, but
believe me when I tell you,
you were the
biggest mistake of my life.
Wrong.
The biggest mistake you ever
made was choosing her over me.
I promise your happy little
family will all regret that
mistake.
Who said you
could come out here?
It's not what
you think, we were just--
Getting into a little argument.
And your shirt got ripped open?
You know what?
Why don't you go play
with your creepy little doll?
Forget you were
ever out here, huh?
If you were having an argument,
maybe I should go get Amy.
She's an adult,
maybe she can help.
No, no, no. Hey, wait a second--
- Amy!
- Hey, hey, okay okay.
Okay.
Amy and I are going to have
so many things to talk about.
You think this is funny?
No wonder your
daddy did what he did.
You've only been here a
few days and I'm already about
to lose it.
I suggest you learn to
keep your mouth shut real fast--
Is everything ok?
I heard screaming.
Yeah.
She, uh...
She just saw a mouse.
It scared her a little, I guess.
Right?
Yeah, the mouse,
right over there.
Oh, thank God.
I heard a scream.
I thought someone got hurt.
Not yet.
What?
You know kids, always getting
into something that can get
'em hurt.
Speaking of being hurt...
- Kevin was having a
fight with- Amy, Amy!
Amy, Amy, Amy.
Hey.
It's okay.
I got you, I got you.
What happened?
You passed out.
No, I feel fine.
Maybe you should
take her to a doctor.
A doctor would be a good idea.
No, it's okay, it's okay.
I feel fine. I'm just--
Hey, hey! I
got you. All right.
- Okay. All right.
- She's right.
I can finish this work later.
Why don't you go inside and grab
the keys off the counter,
all right?
- Okay.
- Come on. You're okay.
- All right?
- Yeah.
Hey, all right,
all right, all right.
Take it easy.
- I got you.
- Okay.
All right.
Step up.
Easy, there you go.
All right,
move the legs over here.
Okay, all right.
Keys!
Stay inside till we're back.
What if the
agency sends someone by?
Why don't you call Heather and
see if she can come back for a
little bit?
I'll call Matt. If he
can't, I'll text Heather.
He's only a couple minutes away.
You won't be home
alone long, all right?
Don't get into anything.
You have our cell
number if you need it.
Numbers are on the
fridge if there's an emergency.
We'll be back soon.
I told you he can't be trusted.
It'll never reach.
What do you want?
What are we gonna do
about Kevin and Heather?
Can't we just
let Amy deal with it?
Maybe she'll make him leave.
Remember what happened
when Mom made Dad leave?
And don't act like you
didn't hear him threaten you.
At least I didn't just
sit there with my mouth shut.
If we don't do something soon,
Amy's gonna end up like mom.
And we're gonna end end up--
End up what?
Say it.
Imagine that.
You've nothing to say again.
If you're not going to help,
then why don't you just go away?
Really?
I said--
No!
Someone help!
Someone help!
Please!
Madison, I'm sorry.
Please come back.
I need you.
Over here.
Hurry, she fell in
and now I can't reach her.
Who fell in?
The doll.
I accidentally dropped
her, and now I can't reach her.
I'll see if I can reach her.
Got a message from Kevin,
said you need a babysitter.
Yeah.
Me too, from Amy.
Saying that they're headed to
the hospital and need someone.
Lucky me, I guess.
Not again.
What is your uppity problem?
Excuse me?
What is it,
no ring, no fling, Heather?
You're an asshole.
Can you give us a minute?
Sure.
Yeah, I say you leave it.
You know what?
All you are is
Kevin's little sidekick.
And that's all you'll ever be.
Little dog.
Picking up scraps,
You know, before
you point that fat finger at me,
I know all about you
trying to make a move on Amy
when Kevin was
out of town last year.
You know what?
Like that doll down there?
That drowning doll?
You're in over your head.
All you are to Kevin is
just another piece of ass.
What the hell, Matt!
Help me!
No!
I know you saw that.
I think we should
talk about our options.
Options?
What options?
We're having a baby.
But how did this even happen?
How did this happen?
After the miscarriage I
didn't think this was possible.
Well, apparently not.
You're making me do
this whole foster thing now.
I-I'm sorry. I've got you
doing this whole foster thing?
You agreed to it.
You signed the papers.
And now you go and
get yourself pregnant.
Get myself pregnant?
Pretty sure that
took the both of us, Kevin.
I never
made you do anything.
I'm just saying, Amy...
This is our
chance to get back on track.
Back to the
family we always wanted.
The dream we lost
when we left the hospital
that day without our girls.
You think that was easy for me?
You think it was easy
for me to deliver my babies,
knowing I was never
going to bring them home?
You think that was easy for me?
These foster kids,
they have been
through unimaginable tragedies.
And all you can think
about is how inconvenient it is
for you to have
them in your house.
We're already a family, Kevin.
Whether you like it or not.
Yes, we are.
We are not.
That baby is ours.
And I'm sorry. I'm not taking
away from ours to give to
someone else's.
Don't worry about it.
We don't have to do anything.
Only I do.
Amy, that's not what I meant.
You know what, Kevin?
Sometimes I just really miss
the man I fell in love with.
Shit!
Oh!
Why are you
always being so creepy?
I didn't mean it like that.
Yes, you did.
You know what? Yeah, I did.
'Cause you're always
popping up out of nowhere,
carrying around
that creepy little doll.
Where is that
little monster anyway?
Waiting under my bed,
getting ready to chop me
into pieces while I'm sleeping?
I dropped her in the well.
Isn't that the
one your mom gave you?
Let's go.
I can't believe I'm about
to save Chucky from the well.
Do you see it?
Yeah, she's
kind of hard to miss.
Did you get it?
Almost, hang on.
Just
reach a little further.
You're welcome.
Or not...
Now what do we do?
Stick together.
Promise you
won't leave me again?
Promise.
Dinner's really good.
Thank you, sweetheart.
You sure it's okay?
You've barely touched it.
I'm not exactly
feeling the best right now.
Yeah, well, eating this
ain't going to help too much.
I'm sorry, is this
not good enough for you?
It's lasagna.
All you did was heat it up.
Imagine that.
Something else you don't want.
All right, that's a
little extreme, don't you think?
Babe, listen, come here.
Get off her!
Kevin!
Get out of my house.
It was an accident.
Out.
Fine.
I'm sick of
this bullshit anyway.
Looks like you might
be getting a little bump.
I'll get you
some ice, all right?
Why does he want to hurt us?
He didn't mean to hurt you.
It was just an accident, okay?
It was in an accident
when he tried to hurt you.
I'm gonna go get
you some ice, okay?
I didn't mean for things
to go down like that tonight.
That was an accident.
You know that, right?
It's just been a long week.
Barn's still not done, still
dealing with the tractor shit.
On top of the foster thing.
Now we're having a baby.
It's just
a lot to take in, you know.
You're drunk.
I only had a few.
You said that you weren't
gonna have more than two.
What happened to that?
I know, I'm sorry, baby...
Don't...
don't Kevin...
I'm sorry.
Don't, don't.
All right.
I think you should
take the couch tonight.
And don't ever even think about
hurting me or my children again.
What happened to two-drink Amy?
That giggling fun girl I used to
have to carry home from the bar,
when she was brave enough
to have more than two beers.
She grew up, Kevin.
One of us had to.
Do we have any --
Oh!
What's all
the screaming about?
Son of a bitch.
Oh, my gosh, Matt.
I didn't
know that it was you.
I just wanted a snack, jeez!
I didn't know you
were coming by today. I-I--
Why is everyone being so loud?
Let me grab you
an ice pack, okay?
Amy, no, it's fine really.
Here, just take it.
What the hell's all this racket?
It was an accident.
What's wrong with your face?
Come on-- Ahh.
I don't see shit.
- Ow! Man...
- Kevin!
You know,
when Kevin asked for help,
I wouldn't have shown up if I'd
known I was gonna be beaten and
laughed at.
It looks like he just got
kicked in the face by a horse.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That swelling
looks pretty bad, too.
I see your stupid
doll made out of the well.
Fatty!
Okay, that's enough.
All right,
let's get to work, man.
Really?
You know, your kid's
creepier than that damned doll.
Still not my kid.
Wrench!
Yeah.
You find it yet?
No.
I don't even
think it's electrical.
So what's with the foster thing?
Is that like a forever or what?
I sure hope not.
Amy's been a bitch ever since.
I'm about sick of it.
Oh, I hear you. That Morgan's
a little shit too, huh?
You're telling me.
[KEVIN[ Think the murder thing's
got her all screwed up in
the head.
Couldn't they just send
these types of kids to go live
with a family member or
something?
No, dickhead.
If they had family, they
wouldn't be in foster care now,
would they?
So now what?
I don't know.
With Amy being pregnant--
Wait.
Amy's pregnant?
Yeah.
Wait, back up, man.
How does that even happen?
I thought she
couldn't have kids.
That's what I said.
So now we gotta deal with the
baby thing and the foster thing,
and I'm...
just... I don't even know.
Can't you just
give foster kids back?
I gotta figure something out.
I can't do both.
Well, you could
always drop off in the woods.
Or down that well.
You've said some pretty
harsh shit man,
but that's jacked up.
Can you
hand me the wire cutters?
Yeah.
Looks like
one of the relays got hit.
And I'm pretty sure
I don't have another one, so...
How's it going guys?
It's all right.
I gotta run to town for a piece.
A piece?
Yeah, a piece, a part.
Why are you always
questioning everything?
I was just wondering.
Okay, while I'm gone, go ahead,
drop the oil in the filter.
Don't be gone too long--
I figured it was
the least I could do.
Thanks.
Doesn't look too bad, does it?
Uhh...
Could be worse.
I guess I'll just have to
rely on this sexy body of mine
to attract the ladies.
So, um, what did Kevin
have to go into town for?
I think he said something
about an electrical relay or
something.
There's a part, though?
Yeah, I really don't know, Amy.
Kevin doesn't always
tell me what's going on.
I feel like he
just disappears at times.
Yeah.
You don't think, um...
Never mind.
Enjoy.
Yaahh!
Gotcha.
Hey, I'm sorry.
I was just playing.
You forgot your doll.
You are a creepy
little thing, aren't you?
All you are to Kevin
is just another piece of ass.
No!
Let's do something with
him before Amy starts wondering
where we're at.
And we have to do
something about her, too.
Are you gonna help me?
Are you seriously just
gonna stand there and watch me?
Lunch!
What ya doing?
Nothing. We
were just playing.
Oh, okay.
Well, lunch is ready.
Okay, we'll be there in a sec.
All right.
Just make sure you're not
getting into any of Kevin's
things, okay?
Where's Matt?
Um he--
He-he had to
head out or something.
Okay.
Just come get
washed up, we'll eat, okay?
Come on.
Just leave him.
That's not gonna help.
Just leave him.
We'll get it later.
Did you get your piece?
Yep.
Hey.
Are we gonna be okay?
That's up to you.
What, uh...
What you got there?
You're not gonna hurt Amy again.
I'm just...
checking on her, is all.
I wasn't asking.
I was telling.
- Amy, Amy, wake up.
- - Wha--
- What? What?
- Wake up.
Is everything okay? What--
You have to come see this.
Okay.
- Come on.
- Okay.
Okay.
What, Kevin? What?
Shh, shh.
All right?
See?
She just needed some
time to get used to you.
- No, no, no. A second ago,
she was standing...
- Kevin, stop. Just come on.
Come back to bed.
Come on, come on.
Come to bed.
I don't think I can do it again.
There's got to be another way.
And what way's that?
You heard him.
He's going to get
rid of us any way he can.
I don't know about you,
but I sure to want to end up at
the bottom of the well like
Heather.
C-can't we just call
the cops or something?
And what? Start over
at another foster home?
At least here you
have your precious Amy.
Stop calling her that. And no.
Feel your head.
Do you want to end up like this?
I can't do it.
I can't.
Oh, we're doing it.
I said no!
Get off me.
No, not until you promise.
He's going to drop you off in
the woods or drown you in
the well.
What?
Don't act like you didn't hear
it too.
You can always
drop 'em off in the woods.
Or down that well.
Man, that's jacked up.
Hard to place blame
on yourself, isn't it?
Reminds me of a horror film.
We don't
even know these people.
Why do we need to?
Oww!
Jerk face!
Now get it together.
No!
Now stop
acting like this isn't you.
Like I'm not you.
You brought me here and now
all you want to do is fight me.
Well, guess what?
Without me,
you're nothing.
What's your problem anyways?
You don't even like Kevin.
Get off me!
Get off me.
Sweetie, sweetie, sweetie,
hey, hey, hey, it's okay.
It's okay.
You were just
having a bad dream.
Okay, you're all right.
You're okay.
You all right?
Yeah.
Okay.
I was just going
to make some dinner.
Can we help?
Sure, of course.
Then I saw Heather.
Hey.
What, are we talking secrets?
Just girl talk.
Have you seen Matt?
No.
Have you seen Heather?
Can we talk for a second?
Sure.
Alone?
Hey sweetie, can you go play?
Kevin and I need a minute.
I've
been, uh, thinking...
a lot about it,
when I went to town yesterday.
I just don't know how
safe I feel with Morgan here,
if we're going to
have a baby in this house.
You know,
speaking of going into town,
you were gone
an awful long time.
Did you get a piece?
What?
The piece you
went into town for.
Did you get it?
They sold you a used one?
They were out of stock.
So they had to grab one
off the machine in the back,
and that
takes a little while.
What the hell
is this about, Amy?
I don't know you tell me, Kevin.
You're the one who's
always disappearing into town.
Because the
machines need to be fixed.
You know, I haven't
seen Heather in a long time.
Did you happen to run into
her when you went into town?
You know, when you
went to get a piece?
When you're done,
with your little pity party,
done
feeling sorry for yourself,
I'll be in the shop.
Drunk, I'm sure.
You go back to playing house
and pretending to be a mommy.
I'm sorry, sweetie,
we were just talking.
Did you get a piece?
You're not gonna hurt Amy again.
Amy, open the door!
Go away, Kevin.
Honey...
Go sleep on the couch.
Open the damn door!
Wakey, wakey.
Why don't we just leave him?
If we just leave him,
someone's going to find him
and we'll for sure
end up somewhere awful.
Why don't we
just find a wheelbarrow,
and dump him in the
well, and we're done.
I'm not going to
be able to lift him.
That's perfect.
We wait till
morning and pretend to find him.
Exactly!
We leave him
there, then call the cops,
and say we saw Kevin
trying to hide him there.
And then, when they show up,
they find him and Heather.
And then...
No more Kevin.
I knew you'd come around.
Always playing with
something that's going to get
you hurt.
Don't stop what
you're doing on account of me.
Why don't you come on over here
so we can have us a little talk.
Or I'll come over there.
Okay.
Speechless, huh?
Well, you had plenty to
say earlier today, didn't you?
You wanna tell
me what you told Amy?
Nothing? Huh?!
I know what'll make you talk.
Agh!
Speak!
Agh!
Amy!
Run! Run,
go! Go. Run!
Amy...
Look what you made me do!
Before you came along...
Everything was perfect.
No kids,
no questions,
no problems!
You're about
to get the ass whipping
you should have been
given a long time ago!
- Are you okay? Are you okay?
- No.
Your new book is here!
Oh, that's
great, sweetie, that's great.
Just give me one second, okay?
Um, no. I've actually been
doing pretty well, Dr. Stone,
thank you.
I know. It's hard to believe
Kevin was capable of something
like that.
Morgan's been great!
She's been a wonderful help,
and an amazing big sister.
Okay.
Sounds good, Dr. Stone.
Yes. I'll let
you know if we need anything.
Okay. Bye bye.
You must be Morgan.
Morgan, this is Eddie.
