Grandma STOP!!!!
Nicky...
Aaaahhh!!!!
Aaaahhh!!!!
There you are.
You know,
usually you get dressed
before you put your
shoes on, bud.
Come here you little weirdo.
Can we bring Fiery Fox
outside with mommy?
Oh, I don't know, bud.
That's a big, heavy pumpkin.
You think you got the muscles
to bring that all the
way downstairs?
Yes!
Yes? Okay, let me
see your muscles.
Oh, my goodness, you're
getting strong, huh?
All right.
Well, mommy's in a hurry.
Hey, where are you guys?
I'm running late.
All right, go on!
Heeeyyy!
Come here.
I love you one.
I love you, too.
I love you three.
- I love you three!
- Three!
Yes!
Mwah!
Sorry. I know you're in a rush.
Don't be sorry.
Come here
Ooh, okay, gotta go!
Alright, goodbye.
Bye bye bye...
Mwah!
Okay, bye.
By mom! Bye!
Oh, and, uh...
the paperwork for your
grandmother's house
is on your desk, so take a look.
You got it. All right.
Get out of here.
Bye!
- Bye!
- Bye!
Do you think she'd be mad if I
let you wear your space suit?
No.
Okay.
Come on. Let's go!
In the house, in the house.
Breakfast!
Woo hoo!!
Let's get Fiery Fox!
Uh huh!
Come here.
We got some work to do first.
Is that alright with you, buddy?
Yes.
And afterwards,
we can make daddy's
world famous-
Monster cookies!
- Monster cookies!
- Monster cookies!!
Oh!
Come on.
Come on.
Right here.
Are you ready?
All right.
Big oranges!
Pumpkins, bud.
Well friends, it looks like
we're all set for our picnic.
Rhyming Rabbit, what have you?
I brought my hat and
my soccer ball, too!
Hasty, did you at least
bring anything?
I brought my surfing board! Ha!
Hasty, how many times
do I have to tell you
we don't live near an ocean?
Deep in the forest our
friends come to play!
We run, jump, fly, swim
and laugh all day!
Solving mysteries,
playing games,
...and learning new things,
We dance, smile, read, count
and sing, sing, sing, sing!
A-bubble...

A-wubble...

Ohhhhhh
Bubble Bear's up first!
Bubble Bear's up first!
Yeah, I'm the leader!
Rhyming Rabbit hops up!
It's nice to meet ya!
Fiery Fox is on next!
That loud enough for you, bud?
Uhh, no!
As swift as flebber-debber!
Hasty, that's not a word!
Well neither is-
A-bubble...
A-wubble...
A-bubble-wubble...
Join in!
A-bubble...
A-wubble...
A-bubble-wubble...
Soooo
Come outside and join us
in the Happy Forest
Where the fun
Never ends!
Uh oh!
I'm sorry, I woke up and I
couldn't find my shoes.
I can't run errands
in the forest
without my shoes!
Too many sharp pricklies-
Hey buddy!
You want a PB and-
Jacob?
Jacob!
If we lose something,
we should-
You keep chewing on this.
Am I going to have a caller left
Come on, buddy!
Jacob, where are you?
Playing hide and seek?
Come on out!
No no no no no!
Jacob!
Jacob!!
No!!!
Worthless.
Do it!
Help!
Oh my God!!
Oh Nick!
Somebody help me!
Somebody help!!
Are you in control?
I am in control.
Come back in three...
two...
one.
Let's have a smoke!
Mmm!
Mm!!
You should join me.
How did you know
that would work?
I never do till it
does or doesn't.
You did great.
So what else?
No!
His wife wants to meet with you
before he's released from
the hospital tomorrow.
Thank you, Joe.
Did you bring coffee?
It's on the desk.
It's really far away.
Oh, shit.
Hmm...
Oh, just wipe your shoes
because the cleaners
already came.
Sorry.
No, you don't have
to say sorry.
The fridge and the pantry
are stocked.
Utilities have been paid.
I set your studio up
in the back room.
Just try not to make
too much of a mess.
Where's all your stuff?
My cases are stacked, Nicholas.
I just have to focus on them.
But I'll visit.
That's new.
Cleaners missed the drapes.
Great, the fridge is out, too.
Glad you had it stocked.
Nothing's tripped in
the breaker box.
It's prolly just a surge.
It's on the list.
I have to-do's for you
while you're here to
keep you occupied.
The furniture's fine where it is
but your grandmother's
portraits
and the family photos-
What's the matter?
Nothing.
Sorry.
Who's that?
I don't understand why
this is necessary.
Well-
it's state law that
you're monitored.
But that's why I have
Charlie, right?
She gonna be here with you?
No.
That's why she hired me.
So this entails what exactly?
Uhh, daily visits.
Just to make sure you're taking
your proper medication.
General therapy, uhh...
Some light hypnosis
in rare occasio-.
Light hypnosis?
Mm hmm.
With all due respect, doctor,
Ah, call me Andrew!
Doctor.
I feel leveled out now.
Nick, listen.
Oh, please
Call me Nicholas.
Okay.
Nicholas.
Your psych eval paints
a different picture.
Yeah, well, I don't give a shit
what my psych eval... paints.
You just finished
a one month stint
in a state institution.
My professional opinion?
Yeah, you should give a shit.
It's instant.
Oh, instant's fine, thank you!
Escitalopram.
Once a day with food.
Great.
Perfect, so...
same thing I've been doing.
I will be taking notes
on your progress.
Any steps forward, any setbacks.
We just...
We need to make sure
you're going
to be okay here on your own.
This is an ambush, Charlie.
You said nothing about this.
I knew you would object.
And I do.
Ch-
I don't need you checking
up on me.
Nicholas, I wouldn't be here
if I didn't need to be.
Finally.
Andrew, do you mind
moving your car
so I can get to the office?
Oh, yeah, yeah. Sure thing.
How's about we just
call it a day?
Okay.
But tomorrow, Nicholas.
One on one. Bright and early.
But for now,
let's get to painting, eh?
And packing that to.
Thank you.
We'll see ya!
Thanks.
Sorry! I took this.
It's okay.
Are you a threat to yourself?
No.
Okay, so...
all things considered,...
there shouldn't be
a problem, right?
Right.
I jus-
I just thought we were
in this together.
So did I.
Just do this, Nicholas.
Take your medication.
Take your medication.
Get the house together.
Do your portraits.
Sit down with the doctor.
Just do it.
Just learn to live
with yourself,
and then...
I love you, Charlie.
You too.
Okay, smile big! There
you go, buddy.
Big smile.
Great.
Nicky...
Nicky...
No!
Slept pretty good.
I woke up early and did
a bit of priming.
So how is it being back here?
Yeah, it's great.
Love it.
You sure?
I'm good.
I just think there may be
a little more to this...
"everything is fine and dandy"
veneer that you're putting on.
Yeah.
Nothing but the truth.
Look,
I know this sucks
right now. I do.
I really don't think you do.
Well,
you don't really know
much about me.
Enlighten me, doc,
on how a four year degree
could open your eyes
to my trauma.
My daughter shot herself
three years ago on
Christmas Eve.
Miserable piece of shit.
What?
I didn't say anything.
Sorry.
She said you'd say that.
What?
Sorry.
I don't know why you're
talking to me
If Charlie can tell
you everything
you need to know.
I did tell her.
I didn't think it was good
for you to be here alone.
But she fought me on it.
Argued there were neighbors.
How do you feel about that?
Woah, what are you doing?
Okay, I can see your worked up.
No no no no no
no, I'm not getting worked up.
I'm-
Worthless cunt
Excuse me?
It's okay.
What? What's okay?
What's okay?
We got a lot of sessions
ahead of us.
There's plenty of time for
you to get to know me.
How is this-
How are you supposed
to be helping me?
To remind you
that mental health
is not your fault.
But it is your responsibility.
You know what?
Let's call it today.
All right?
I got a full caseload,
and your recovery is a
top priority for me.
But you're not my only patient.
And F.Y.I...
I went to school
for eight years.
Hey, there.
Hey. Hi, there.
Yes, ma'am.
Shelby Whitaker.
Andrew. Andrew Beaumont.
Nice to meet you.
My nosy nature's got
me wondering.
Is that little Nicholas
over there?
Yes. Yes, ma'am. It is.
Do you know him?
Oh, yes.
Sweet boy.
He wouldn't remember me, though.
Say, it ain't odd...
you've been here twice and-
One day after another,
same time?
Nosy nature indeed.
Ain't much happening
around here.
Just helping out a friend.
They're selling the house.
While I've got you,
and I don't know if you
can answer this or not,
but do you know anything...
about his childhood,
about his family life?
Well...
I believe he moved here
after his parents died.
Auto accident or some other.
Bless his heart.
His grandmother died
a few years later.
Heart attack, and...
That's a long time ago, friend.
But I'll- I'll think on it.
Listen, if you can
think of anything.
Here's my card, I'd
love to hear it.
All right.
All right. Thank you.
Nice to meet you.
You too.
Yeah.
I am.
I'm around the area.
She won't have it.
He should leave!
Yeah, she hates him.
It's a terrible idea.
You're a worthless cunt.
You should have choked
to death.
Terrible, terrible, terrible.
No, I got cajun seasoning.
Yeah.
So the next step
would be filing,
which could take 90
days to hear back.
So with that being said,
I would recommend-
Your call has been forwarded
to an automatic voice
message system.
At the tone,
please record your message.
When you have finished
recording-
Oh, uh, hi...
Charlie. It's me, uh...
There we go
There we go.
There we go!
And now...
Sprinkles!
Here's some for you...
For me?
And now we mix that one.
Right there.
Next row.
Next row, right behind-
That's a big one, too.
Right there.
...A-bubble, a-wubble,
a-bubble-wubble!
Join in!
...A-bubble, a-wubble,
a-bubble-wubble!
What the...
Jacob?
No!
Jacob?
Nicholas...
Take me.
Take me.
Who's there?
Take me.
Take me. Take me.
Take me.
Take me!
Take me! Take me!!
Take me!!!
Take me!!!
Come on.
No.
Come on.
Daddy, I'm scared.
What...
It's okay, buddy!
Daddy's here!
NO!!
Hey!
Wake up, sleepyheads!
Come on.
Hey
It's time to get up, buddy.
Hey, Charlie.
I just wanted to
give you a call.
Sorry for bothering you.
Shit, you're probably busy.
I'm sorry.
You prolly don't want
to hear from me.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I love you, one.
I love you, two.
I love you, three.
Obituary said "heart attack."
His grandma, right.
The night she died,
the way he pounded at my door,
like something was after him.
You know?
He came to you?
You betcha.
That boy could hardly
get a word out
what words he could were-
Grandma,...
fetch.
They're playing with a dog, or?
No, no, no, no.
Like "the Fetch."
Or something of the sort.
I don't know if I follow.
Next day, I went over there,
to help clean the house
with a few folks from
down the way.
Doctor, I tell you,
that place was destroyed.
How do you mean?
Furniture thrown all over,
broken photos, plates.
We even had to fix
a few windows.
That'd be one hell
of a heart attack
wouldn't you say, doc?
Uh huh.
Nicholas.
We're waiting...
Do it.
Murderer!
Nicholas.
Nope!
My job.
Yep.
Alright.
No, I got it, I got it.
I got it.
Okay.
What are you scared
of, a little attic?
Oh, no. Sorry.
Just zoned out.
Hey, would you mind getting
the rest of the books
down there?
Oh, shit.
Okay.
Nicholas.
Worthless.
Stupid.
You should've died instead.
It should've been you.
Nicholas.
It's all your fault.
Murderer
Do everyone a favor and die.
You're a terrible father.
When death is nigh
upon its ketch...
a fellow soon shall see his-
Nicholas...
Nicholas!
You okay?
Yeah, I was just...
enjoying the view.
Yeah, sure.
Thanks.
What's with the chair
under the door in your room?
Hold on.
What are you hiding from?
Jesus, just give me a second.
I'm coming for you.
What? What?
What are you reading?
Nothing, just, uh...
It's something my grandma
used to read to me.
Yeah.
Good bedtime material.
I'll see you later, doc.
Throw me a bone,
will you?
All I can say of my
time here right now
is that I lugged boxes
of books around
and sweated through
my dress shirt.
Now I know you're not sleeping.
Will you talk to me?
For Charlie.
Good man.
I know it's only been
a few weeks.
But it feels like a year ago
I was in the hospital.
A year ago...
since his funeral.
But, uh...
God it feels like just yesterday
that it happened.
When I found him.
And I want to die every day.
But I'd never want
to kill myself.
Explain that trip
to the hospital.
That wasn't me.
I mean...
it was.
But I don't even remember
doing it.
All I remember is her voice...
screaming. And then I woke
up in the hospital.
I put her through that.
I thought I was going crazy.
After Jacob's accident, when
you cleaned the stairwell.
Was that you?
Yeah.
Why?
Because it was my mess.
And there's something else.
I've been...
hearing things.
Seeing things.
And I-
I don't know.
When I do sleep, it...
I can't tell what's
real anymore.
I feel like I'm losing my grip.
Go on.
Nah.
Never mind.
I mean, it's nothing.
Hey, thanks, doc.
I was out with a patient.
Running late, as always, and...
I mean...
I knew Eliza was going to
be mad at me, but...
I figured if I made it
home for at least
some kind of Christmas
Eve dinner...
that it would all go away.
Well, she showed me how she felt
right there under the mistletoe.
I'm so sorry.
There were carolers.
They had no fucking clue.
I don't know, want to say.
How do you like your pizza?
What?
We need a good old fashioned
guys night, tonight.
I'll bring the food.
You bring the good
company. Okay?
No olives.
You got it.
Nicholas.
It'll always feel
like yesterday.
Hey, buddy.
Can I tie your shoe for you?
No.
No.
Oh, no no no no.
Jacob!
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
Deep in the forest our
friends come to play!
We run, jump, fly, swim
and laugh all day!
Solving mysteries,
playing games,
and learning new things,
We dance, smile, read, count
and sing, sing, sing, sing!
A-bubble, a-wubble,
a bubble-wubble!
Ohhhhhh
Bubble Bear's up first!
Yeah, I'm the leader!
Rhyming Rabbit hops up!
It's nice to meet ya!
Fiery Fox is on next!
Getting ready for adventure!
- Getting ready for adventure!
- Buddy?
Hasty Hawk swoops in!
As swift as flebber-debber!
Hasty, that's not a word!
Well neither is-
A-bubble...
A-wubble...
A-bubble-wubble...
Join in!
A-bubble...
A-wubble...
A-bubble-wubble...
Jacob!
So grab a rope and join us
in the Happy Forest
Where you can hang
Come here.
Where you can hang
yourself.
Jacob!
Jacob!
No!!
Let it out...
All right.
Whoops!
Grandma.
Who's that?
Nicholas!
Oh,
Nicholas.
Hmph.
His grandma used to
read him this?
I am not a fan of grandma.
Look at page 54.
You should have seen how
he reacted to it.
Now the lore is,
and I can't believe I'm
really saying it,
but the sight of your Fetch-
Evil twin.
The sight of your Fetch
is an omen.
For what?
Coming death.
This passage says
"When death is nigh
upon its ketch...
a fellow soon shall
see his Fetch."
Look, I know this sounds
ridiculous, okay?
But...
I talked to Nicholas's neighbor,
and she said that when
Nicholas was ten,
he ran to her house
when grandma
had a heart attack.
And he said "not grandma...
"Fetch."
But it's not real.
It's just a story.
Yes, but these stories,
these myths;
The grim reaper, the
angel of death,
the Fetch, whatever you
want to call it.
Nick, read this story
as a child.
Young enough to burn
it into his mind,
into his subconscious.
To him, death is connected
to the Fetch.
And after grandma's violent
heart attack
I believe he was so terrified,
his mind manifested the Fetch.
Nick! Open the door, please.
I need help!
I need he-hahaha!!
And Jacob's accident
opened an old wound
he forgot he had.
His guilt triggered
a trauma response
that tore his mind apart.
Hell it could've brought
back the Fetch.
Hahahahahaha!
Grandma stop!!
Get out of my head!!
Disassociation.
Hallucinations. Self-harm.
It's textbook schizophrenia.
It may just be a story to us,
but it could feel real to him,
whether he realizes it or not.
This may seem frightening
or hopeless.
It's not.
This is good news, Charlie.
How was this good news?
We're still trying to
understand this,
but we're in the
right direction.
This is a key. This
is a way in.
I think...
if we can get ahead
of this thing,
we properly diagnose him.
Then with medication,
time therapy,
we can level him out long term.
We just have to help
him understand
and give him the tools
he needs to fight it.
Nicholas!
Worthless!
It won't be easy.
It's all your fault.
But he can beat it.
Hang yourself.
He just has to want it.
To fight for it.
When death is nigh
upon its ketch...
a fellow soon shall
see his Fetch.
Do it!
Nicholas...
You're a coward!
I hope you're right.
Me too.
Hey.
Hey.
How's it going over there?
Going great.
Doctor Beaumont said you're
making progress.
Day by day.
You know me.
Good.
Are you all right?
Nothing to worry about.
Beaumont said that you guys
have a pizza night coming up.
Yeah, I figured I'd
change up the diet
from ham and cheese sammies.
That's good.
Well, hey...
I got to go.
Finish up some work
around the house.
Okay.
Yeah.
It was good talking to you.
Yeah, you too.
Hey, Andrew!
Oh...
He's exhausted.
Well-
Hey, doc!
Good to see you. Come on in.
I hope you're hungry!
I'm starving.
Perfect timing.
Mmmh!
It's really good.
Woah Woah Woah Woah Woah...
Where are these from?
Weird, right?
Not sure.
When's the last time you
spoke to Charlie?
Not too long ago.
Why?
Just curious.
You know, she's going
through her own
grief too.
Hmm.
If she needs me, she
knows where I am.
A little bit of unsolicited
relationship advice:
Next time you talk to her,
ask her how she's doing.
And mean it.
Mmh hmm.
On another note...
You remember Ms.Shelby
from across the road?
Oh...
God, barely. It's been forever.
I think I used to climb
her trees as a kid.
She says she saw you today
staring out your window.
Well she's mistaken.
This doesn't help
if you lie to me.
I thought we were having
a guy's night.
What's up with the third degree?
Right. You're right.
You're right.
You're right.
Let's start with something fun.
Okay?
I got some new scripts for you.
Why do you have that?
Ah, it's just a little light
reading from the library.
All right, clozapine...
It'll level out your moods
and all that fun
stuff like that.
Then trazadone...
That'll help you sleep.
And judging by your lack of it,
I think you'll be
out for a week.
Curious why there's
only two of those.
Funny.
All right, once a
day with a meal.
Okay?
Let's start right now.
Should I be taking
that with beer?
Nonalcoholic.
Done and done.
I said one sleeping pill.
Well, I'll sleep in.
Get off my ass, doc!
You know, I think I'm really
making strides here.
Yeah, I feel much better.
Like new, basically.
What, you got somewhere to be?
Let's try something different.
Focus on the sound.
And close your eyes.
Breathe.
You have control.
Grandma, please.
Nicky!
Open the fucking door!
Look!!!
See, Nicky!
I want you to see!
Look!!!
Open your eyes!
Grandma, please stop!
LOOK!!!!
What do you see?
Just a little peek for Grandma?
Aaahhh!!!
Hahahahahaha!!!
Talk to me, Nick.
What do you see?
It's my Grandma.
The night she died.
What else?
I get away, and I run
Run to Ms. Shelby's house.
I bang on the door.
Help me!!!
And then what?
Jacob.
I need to find Jacob.
Shut it up!
Aww!
Just a peek, Nicky!
Don't give in Nicholas!
You are in-
Blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah!
Say it!
Tell me you have control!
Daddy, help me, please.
Daddy!
Nick! Are you in control?
Nick!
Stay away from me!
Come on, Nick!
Don't jump!
Hahahahahaha!!!
Fight it!
All right, come back in-
Three. Two.
One.
No no no no no no.
It's okay.
It's my son!
I...
I killed my boy.
No no no no.
Breathe, all right?
I can't see his face.
I can't remember my sons face.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Ch-
Charlie hates-
It's okay.
Charlie.
She-
she hates me.
She hates-
Okay, easy now.
All right, straight back.
Yeah, good man.
Oh no.
Jesus Christ.
Oh, Nicholas.
Charlie.
I'm out at the farm
with Nicholas.
He's on some serious
sleeping pills.
I think he's probably going to-
sleep the day away tomorrow,
but listen.
Look, I was right,
and I was wrong about
this whole thing.
It is way worse than
I thought it is.
I-I'm staying the night
to keep an eye on him.
But you need to come and see him
tomorrow.
Dad.
Nick?
Nick, are you here?
Charlie?
Shit.
Hey.
You look great.
So...
why did you come out?
Doctor's orders.
Andrew slept over last night?
He did?
I had no idea.
I was conked out. Yesterday's
a blur.
Is there something
I should know?
No.
Day by day, right?
Nicholas, I thought this healed.
Look at that-
It's fine.
What the hell is happening?
Honestly, I don't know.
This is not fine.
Nicholas, this is-
Charlie, chill.
It's probably stress
induced, or-
a side-effect of the meds.
I think we need to find
another place for you.
I think I made a brash
decision and-
I'm sorry.
Hey!
We've got to get these
bruises checked out!
I can take a few days off
of work. I just, I-
Charlie, stop.
Look at me.
What's on your mind?
I've just never felt so alone.
I know how you feel.
I know.
I'm sorry.
No.
I am.
For everything.
I want to do whatever makes
your life easier.
That's what would
make me happiest.
You want me to go get
lost in Bermuda?
I can do that.
Oh, no.
I just...
I just miss him so much.
You killed our boy.
I know I did.
I'm so sorry.
You did what?
Hey, if my memory serves
me correctly,
There's a dive downtown
that has average beer
and juicy burgers.
Cherub Rock.
You hungry?
Yeah, that sounds good.
I'll hop in the shower
real quick,
then we can go.
You killed our boy.
You killed our boy!
Charlie hates you.
She left you here to rot!
It's okay.
You're okay. You're okay.
You're okay.
You're okay.
You're okay.
Hey, there.
Hi.
Can I help you?
Oh, I'm just checking in.
I'm Shelby, and this here
is Bucky, my grandson.
Doctor Beaumont told
me about you.
All good things, I'm sure!
And you are?
I'm Charlie. I'm Nicholas' wife.
How's he coming along?
Yeah, he's coming along.
Yeah.
Would you mind stepping outside
for just a second?
Yeah.
You know, this might not
be my place, but-
...house, and I was looking
over in that window.
I just couldn't-
couldn't figure out why
he couldn't see me.
You know, cause I was stand-
Hey, Charlie!
Hey!
Oh,
Hey Ms. Shelby!
It's been a long time.
I know!
I was just getting acquainted
with your lovely wife.
Yeah! Well, I got to
steal her from you.
We're headed out on the town.
Oh, please don't
let me keep you.
We should catch up sometime!
I'd call it a date,
but I'm already married.
Ha!
Jacob?
Nick?
Nick, what are you doing?
That's my grandson.
Say hi. Bucky.
Hey buddy!
Grandma!
Hey, I'm sorry!
Nicholas, what's wrong?
I'm so sorry!
Hey, let's get you inside!
I got you.
Hey!
Wait a minute.
Nick. Nick! Nick!!
Charlie, we've got him ba-
Come on, come on.
I'm so sorry.
Ms. Shelby, I'm sorry!
I'm sorry.
Your mom's gonna pick
you up soon, okay?
I'm not trying to
blame you, or...
say that you did
anything wrong.
What-
What's going on with this book?
Andrew says that-
you're seeing some
sort of a monster?
Or, a fetch?
What?
He's worried that
you might be having
hallucinations.
Dangerous hallucinations.
Oh.
So I guess you're
exchanging notes
about what you think
is happening to me.
I'm your wife.
I only want to help you-
No.
You're trying to lock me away.
You're trying to take me
from my son.
I trusted you.
Nicholas?
When death is nigh
upon its ketch
a fellow soon shall
see his Fetch.
Do it!
- Hang yourself.
- It's all your fault.
Get her out of here.
She hates you.
She hates you.
She just
left you here.
She never loved you.
She just
left you here.
Die!
Let me out.
Let me out.
Get out of here!
Nicholas!
God damn it, Charlie! Go!
Charlie!
I'm sorry.
I forgot to ask how you are.
Nicholas.
She just left.
She left you here to rot.
She left you here to die.
Charlie hates you.
I hate you.
You should be dead instead.
You're a terrible father.
Because of you.
I wish you died instead.
The world doesn't need you.
It's all your fault.
Murderer!
Nicky!
Where's that fucking ring?
You let him fall.
Kill yourself.
Think. Think!
She left you here to rot.
Where is it?
Nicholas!
What are you waiting for?
When death is nigh
upon its ketch...
a fellow soon shall
see his Fetch!
Do you see the rope
on the tree?
Around the branch?
Jacob is waiting
for you, Nicky!
Do it!
Do it!!
Do it!!!
You killed Charlie's baby.
You let him fall.
Aah!!
Come on, come on...
You got this, come on.
Fuck!
All right!
Pick up, pick up.
Charlie? What is it?
It's really bad!
Are you okay?
I don't know what to do.
Okay, okay.
Wait right there.
All right. Do not
go in without me.
I'm on the way.
Okay.
Hey!
Oh shit.
All right, we got
to get in there.
Nicholas!
Oh no.
Oh my God.
Charlie.
Nick?
Woah, woah.
Honey.
Nicholas.
It's time.
He's here.
Nicholas-
Not one step closer!
Nicholas,
Whatever you think you're
seeing right now
it is not real.
I'm ready.
He's here to help me.
I don't want you to
do this, Nick.
You're a liar, Charlotte.
Nicholas, I know you're
in there, okay?
This is in your mind.
It is not real.
You are real!
You-
You can hurt me.
You're not real.
Aahh!!
I've got work to do, Charlie!
Where were you, mommy?
Where were you when I fell?
I'll do it.
Take me!
Take me now!
Do it!
Come on!
Aahhh!!!
Nick...
Nicholas, are you okay?
Charlie...
Go.
Please go.
Nick, I love you. You
can fight this.
I don't know how.
Do it, Nick!
What?
Well, we'll never know
till it works.
Or it doesn't.
What are you doing?
Get on up you son of a bitch!
Hell...
We'll even watch.
We'll give you a proper sendoff.
Andrew, what the hell
are you doing?
Shh!
Get on up there, Nick.
You're in control.
Andrew!
It's okay, it's okay.
Ready when you are, Nicholas.
Just like last time.
Focus on the sound...
and close your eyes.
This is it, Nick.
Talk to me.
Where are you?
The pumpkin patch.
But everything's gone.
There's a door.
Come and play, play the game.
The game's for you...
And it's to hang!
What do you see?
You broke my neck, daddy.
I know.
Nick?
I can't see his face.
It was just an accident.
Say it. Nick!
What happened?
Own it.
He fell.
It wasn't your fault.
Think of Charlie.
What's happening, Nick?
I'm walking to my room.
Okay.
Go on. Go up there.
Come on.
Do it, Nicky.
I can't remember his face.
I can't see it.
Come on, Nicky.
Do it and you can see him again.
I'm so sorry.
I'll see you soon.
Pickin's Pumpkin patch.
He called the pumpkins.
"big oranges."
He had...
light brown hair like yours
when you were a kid.
He had rosy cheeks like mine...
when I'm nervous.
Shut up!
Shut up!! Shut up!!!
I'm so sorry, bud.
He had bright eyes...
that twinkled like
the night sky.
He had fre-
Has freckles.
In the shape of-
Orion's belt!
You have to forgive yourself.
We have to let him go.
Three.
Two.
One.
Boom!
Monster cookies!
Monster cookies!
Yawarrr!!
I love you, one.
I love you, two.
I love you three.
There's my guy.
All right.
I love you, Jacob.
Now go play.
Are you ready to come back?
Where the hell are you?
Be careful Nick.
Do not let him get to you.
You are in control.
When Death is nigh
upon its ketch...
Andrew!
a fellow soon shall
see his Fetch!
When Death is nigh upon-
Fight it, Nick!
Fight back!
...shall see his Fetch!
It's up to you.
You can beat this, Nick!
Make sure it's tight, Nicky!
No!
Nicholas.
Are you in control?
I am in control.
Come back in three...
two...
one.
I'm sorry, are you all right?
Yeah.
Don't worry.
I'll get you back when
you least expect it.
Ha!
Charlie.
It's about that time, Nicholas.
Sorry.
I was...
just now seeing that pillow.
Eliza made that.
God, she was almost 19.
The day before she died.
She told me the funniest joke.
We laughed till we cried.
We were close, but I just-
I missed all the signs.
I, uh-
I'm so proud of you.
I've had those demons.
And those demons are
just like bullies.
You stare them in the eye,
they're cowards,
and they'll run.
I don't know how to thank you.
Keep doing what you're doing.
Well...
If you ever need someone
to talk...
Likewise.
Yeah, well, I don't
have a choice.
I'll see you next week.
Yes you will.
Thanks, doc.
This is the last of it.
One last thing, Your Highness.
It's perfect.
Nicky!
Loooook!!!
Nicky...
Let me in, Nicky.
I just want to show
you something!
Grandma, please.
Nickyyyyy!
Open the fucking door!
Grandma STOP!!!!
Nicky...
Aaaahhh!!!!
Aaaahhh!!!!
There you are.
You know,
usually you get dressed
before you put your
shoes on, bud.
Come here you little weirdo.
Can we bring Fiery Fox
outside with mommy?
Oh, I don't know, bud.
That's a big, heavy pumpkin.
You think you got the muscles
to bring that all the
way downstairs?
Yes!
Yes? Okay, let me
see your muscles.
Oh, my goodness, you're
getting strong, huh?
All right.
Well, mommy's in a hurry.
Hey, where are you guys?
I'm running late.
All right, go on!
Heeeyyy!
Come here.
I love you one.
I love you, too.
I love you three.
- I love you three!
- Three!
Yes!
Mwah!
Sorry. I know you're in a rush.
Don't be sorry.
Come here
Ooh, okay, gotta go!
Alright, goodbye.
Bye bye bye...
Mwah!
Okay, bye.
By mom! Bye!
Oh, and, uh...
the paperwork for your
grandmother's house
is on your desk, so take a look.
You got it. All right.
Get out of here.
Bye!
- Bye!
- Bye!
Do you think she'd be mad if I
let you wear your space suit?
No.
Okay.
Come on. Let's go!
In the house, in the house.
Breakfast!
Woo hoo!!
Let's get Fiery Fox!
Uh huh!
Come here.
We got some work to do first.
Is that alright with you, buddy?
Yes.
And afterwards,
we can make daddy's
world famous-
Monster cookies!
- Monster cookies!
- Monster cookies!!
Oh!
Come on.
Come on.
Right here.
Are you ready?
All right.
Big oranges!
Pumpkins, bud.
Well friends, it looks like
we're all set for our picnic.
Rhyming Rabbit, what have you?
I brought my hat and
my soccer ball, too!
Hasty, did you at least
bring anything?
I brought my surfing board! Ha!
Hasty, how many times
do I have to tell you
we don't live near an ocean?
Deep in the forest our
friends come to play!
We run, jump, fly, swim
and laugh all day!
Solving mysteries,
playing games,
...and learning new things,
We dance, smile, read, count
and sing, sing, sing, sing!
A-bubble...
- A-bubble...
A-wubble...

A-bubble-wubble...

Ohhhhhh
Bubble Bear's up first!
Bubble Bear's up first!
Yeah, I'm the leader!
Rhyming Rabbit hops up!
It's nice to meet ya!
Fiery Fox is on next!
That loud enough for you, bud?
Uhh, no!
As swift as flebber-debber!
Hasty, that's not a word!
Well neither is-
A-bubble...
A-wubble...
A-bubble-wubble...
Join in!
A-bubble...
A-wubble...
A-bubble-wubble...
Soooo
Come outside and join us
in the Happy Forest
Where the fun
Never ends!
Uh oh!
I'm sorry, I woke up and I
couldn't find my shoes.
I can't run errands
in the forest
without my shoes!
Too many sharp pricklies-
Hey buddy!
You want a PB and-
Jacob?
Jacob!
If we lose something,
we should-
You keep chewing on this.
Am I going to have a caller left
Come on, buddy!
Jacob, where are you?
Playing hide and seek?
Come on out!
No no no no no!
Jacob!
Jacob!!
No!!!
Worthless.
Do it!
Help!
Oh my God!!
Oh Nick!
Somebody help me!
Somebody help!!
Are you in control?
I am in control.
Come back in three...
two...
one.
Let's have a smoke!
Mmm!
Mm!!
You should join me.
How did you know
that would work?
I never do till it
does or doesn't.
You did great.
So what else?
No!
His wife wants to meet with you
before he's released from
the hospital tomorrow.
Thank you, Joe.
Did you bring coffee?
It's on the desk.
It's really far away.
Oh, shit.
Hmm...
Oh, just wipe your shoes
because the cleaners
already came.
Sorry.
No, you don't have
to say sorry.
The fridge and the pantry
are stocked.
Utilities have been paid.
I set your studio up
in the back room.
Just try not to make
too much of a mess.
Where's all your stuff?
My cases are stacked, Nicholas.
I just have to focus on them.
But I'll visit.
That's new.
Cleaners missed the drapes.
Great, the fridge is out, too.
Glad you had it stocked.
Nothing's tripped in
the breaker box.
It's prolly just a surge.
It's on the list.
I have to-do's for you
while you're here to
keep you occupied.
The furniture's fine where it is
but your grandmother's
portraits
and the family photos-
What's the matter?
Nothing.
Sorry.
Who's that?
I don't understand why
this is necessary.
Well-
it's state law that
you're monitored.
But that's why I have
Charlie, right?
She gonna be here with you?
No.
That's why she hired me.
So this entails what exactly?
Uhh, daily visits.
Just to make sure you're taking
your proper medication.
General therapy, uhh...
Some light hypnosis
in rare occasio-.
Light hypnosis?
Mm hmm.
With all due respect, doctor,
Ah, call me Andrew!
Doctor.
I feel leveled out now.
Nick, listen.
Oh, please
Call me Nicholas.
Okay.
Nicholas.
Your psych eval paints
a different picture.
Yeah, well, I don't give a shit
what my psych eval... paints.
You just finished
a one month stint
in a state institution.
My professional opinion?
Yeah, you should give a shit.
It's instant.
Oh, instant's fine, thank you!
Escitalopram.
Once a day with food.
Great.
Perfect, so...
same thing I've been doing.
I will be taking notes
on your progress.
Any steps forward, any setbacks.
We just...
We need to make sure
you're going
to be okay here on your own.
This is an ambush, Charlie.
You said nothing about this.
I knew you would object.
And I do.
Ch-
I don't need you checking
up on me.
Nicholas, I wouldn't be here
if I didn't need to be.
Finally.
Andrew, do you mind
moving your car
so I can get to the office?
Oh, yeah, yeah. Sure thing.
How's about we just
call it a day?
Okay.
But tomorrow, Nicholas.
One on one. Bright and early.
But for now,
let's get to painting, eh?
And packing that to.
Thank you.
We'll see ya!
Thanks.
Sorry! I took this.
It's okay.
Are you a threat to yourself?
No.
Okay, so...
all things considered,...
there shouldn't be
a problem, right?
Right.
I jus-
I just thought we were
in this together.
So did I.
Just do this, Nicholas.
Take your medication.
Take your medication.
Get the house together.
Do your portraits.
Sit down with the doctor.
Just do it.
Just learn to live
with yourself,
and then...
I love you, Charlie.
You too.
Okay, smile big! There
you go, buddy.
Big smile.
Great.
Nicky...
Nicky...
No!
Slept pretty good.
I woke up early and did
a bit of priming.
So how is it being back here?
Yeah, it's great.
Love it.
You sure?
I'm good.
I just think there may be
a little more to this...
"everything is fine and dandy"
veneer that you're putting on.
Yeah.
Nothing but the truth.
Look,
I know this sucks
right now. I do.
I really don't think you do.
Well,
you don't really know
much about me.
Enlighten me, doc,
on how a four year degree
could open your eyes
to my trauma.
My daughter shot herself
three years ago on
Christmas Eve.
Miserable piece of shit.
What?
I didn't say anything.
Sorry.
She said you'd say that.
What?
Sorry.
I don't know why you're
talking to me
If Charlie can tell
you everything
you need to know.
I did tell her.
I didn't think it was good
for you to be here alone.
But she fought me on it.
Argued there were neighbors.
How do you feel about that?
Woah, what are you doing?
Okay, I can see your worked up.
No no no no no
no, I'm not getting worked up.
I'm-
Worthless cunt
Excuse me?
It's okay.
What? What's okay?
What's okay?
We got a lot of sessions
ahead of us.
There's plenty of time for
you to get to know me.
How is this-
How are you supposed
to be helping me?
To remind you
that mental health
is not your fault.
But it is your responsibility.
You know what?
Let's call it today.
All right?
I got a full caseload,
and your recovery is a
top priority for me.
But you're not my only patient.
And F.Y.I...
I went to school
for eight years.
Hey, there.
Hey. Hi, there.
Yes, ma'am.
Shelby Whitaker.
Andrew. Andrew Beaumont.
Nice to meet you.
My nosy nature's got
me wondering.
Is that little Nicholas
over there?
Yes. Yes, ma'am. It is.
Do you know him?
Oh, yes.
Sweet boy.
He wouldn't remember me, though.
Say, it ain't odd...
you've been here twice and-
One day after another,
same time?
Nosy nature indeed.
Ain't much happening
around here.
Just helping out a friend.
They're selling the house.
While I've got you,
and I don't know if you
can answer this or not,
but do you know anything...
about his childhood,
about his family life?
Well...
I believe he moved here
after his parents died.
Auto accident or some other.
Bless his heart.
His grandmother died
a few years later.
Heart attack, and...
That's a long time ago, friend.
But I'll- I'll think on it.
Listen, if you can
think of anything.
Here's my card, I'd
love to hear it.
All right.
All right. Thank you.
Nice to meet you.
You too.
Yeah.
I am.
I'm around the area.
She won't have it.
He should leave!
Yeah, she hates him.
It's a terrible idea.
You're a worthless cunt.
You should have choked
to death.
Terrible, terrible, terrible.
No, I got cajun seasoning.
Yeah.
So the next step
would be filing,
which could take 90
days to hear back.
So with that being said,
I would recommend-
Your call has been forwarded
to an automatic voice
message system.
At the tone,
please record your message.
When you have finished
recording-
Oh, uh, hi...
Charlie. It's me, uh...
There we go
There we go.
There we go!
And now...
Sprinkles!
Here's some for you...
For me?
And now we mix that one.
Right there.
Next row.
Next row, right behind-
That's a big one, too.
Right there.
...A-bubble, a-wubble,
a-bubble-wubble!
Join in!
...A-bubble, a-wubble,
a-bubble-wubble!
What the...
Jacob?
No!
Jacob?
Nicholas...
Take me.
Take me.
Who's there?
Take me.
Take me. Take me.
Take me.
Take me!
Take me! Take me!!
Take me!!!
Take me!!!
Come on.
No.
Come on.
Daddy, I'm scared.
What...
It's okay, buddy!
Daddy's here!
NO!!
Hey!
Wake up, sleepyheads!
Come on.
Hey
It's time to get up, buddy.
Hey, Charlie.
I just wanted to
give you a call.
Sorry for bothering you.
Shit, you're probably busy.
I'm sorry.
You prolly don't want
to hear from me.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I love you, one.
I love you, two.
I love you, three.
Obituary said "heart attack."
His grandma, right.
The night she died,
the way he pounded at my door,
like something was after him.
You know?
He came to you?
You betcha.
That boy could hardly
get a word out
what words he could were-
Grandma,...
fetch.
They're playing with a dog, or?
No, no, no, no.
Like "the Fetch."
Or something of the sort.
I don't know if I follow.
Next day, I went over there,
to help clean the house
with a few folks from
down the way.
Doctor, I tell you,
that place was destroyed.
How do you mean?
Furniture thrown all over,
broken photos, plates.
We even had to fix
a few windows.
That'd be one hell
of a heart attack
wouldn't you say, doc?
Uh huh.
Nicholas.
We're waiting...
Do it.
Murderer!
Nicholas.
Nope!
My job.
Yep.
Alright.
No, I got it, I got it.
I got it.
Okay.
What are you scared
of, a little attic?
Oh, no. Sorry.
Just zoned out.
Hey, would you mind getting
the rest of the books
down there?
Oh, shit.
Okay.
Nicholas.
Worthless.
Stupid.
You should've died instead.
It should've been you.
Nicholas.
It's all your fault.
Murderer
Do everyone a favor and die.
You're a terrible father.
When death is nigh
upon its ketch...
a fellow soon shall see his-
Nicholas...
Nicholas!
You okay?
Yeah, I was just...
enjoying the view.
Yeah, sure.
Thanks.
What's with the chair
under the door in your room?
Hold on.
What are you hiding from?
Jesus, just give me a second.
I'm coming for you.
What? What?
What are you reading?
Nothing, just, uh...
It's something my grandma
used to read to me.
Yeah.
Good bedtime material.
I'll see you later, doc.
Throw me a bone,
will you?
All I can say of my
time here right now
is that I lugged boxes
of books around
and sweated through
my dress shirt.
Now I know you're not sleeping.
Will you talk to me?
For Charlie.
Good man.
I know it's only been
a few weeks.
But it feels like a year ago
I was in the hospital.
A year ago...
since his funeral.
But, uh...
God it feels like just yesterday
that it happened.
When I found him.
And I want to die every day.
But I'd never want
to kill myself.
Explain that trip
to the hospital.
That wasn't me.
I mean...
it was.
But I don't even remember
doing it.
All I remember is her voice...
screaming. And then I woke
up in the hospital.
I put her through that.
I thought I was going crazy.
After Jacob's accident, when
you cleaned the stairwell.
Was that you?
Yeah.
Why?
Because it was my mess.
And there's something else.
I've been...
hearing things.
Seeing things.
And I-
I don't know.
When I do sleep, it...
I can't tell what's
real anymore.
I feel like I'm losing my grip.
Go on.
Nah.
Never mind.
I mean, it's nothing.
Hey, thanks, doc.
I was out with a patient.
Running late, as always, and...
I mean...
I knew Eliza was going to
be mad at me, but...
I figured if I made it
home for at least
some kind of Christmas
Eve dinner...
that it would all go away.
Well, she showed me how she felt
right there under the mistletoe.
I'm so sorry.
There were carolers.
They had no fucking clue.
I don't know, want to say.
How do you like your pizza?
What?
We need a good old fashioned
guys night, tonight.
I'll bring the food.
You bring the good
company. Okay?
No olives.
You got it.
Nicholas.
It'll always feel
like yesterday.
Hey, buddy.
Can I tie your shoe for you?
No.
No.
Oh, no no no no.
Jacob!
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
Deep in the forest our
friends come to play!
We run, jump, fly, swim
and laugh all day!
Solving mysteries,
playing games,
and learning new things,
We dance, smile, read, count
and sing, sing, sing, sing!
A-bubble, a-wubble,

Ohhhhhh
Bubble Bear's up first!
Yeah, I'm the leader!
Rhyming Rabbit hops up!
It's nice to meet ya!
Fiery Fox is on next!
Getting ready for adventure!
- Getting ready for adventure!

Hasty Hawk swoops in!
As swift as flebber-debber!
Hasty, that's not a word!
Well neither is-
A-bubble...
A-wubble...
A-bubble-wubble...
Join in!
A-bubble...
A-wubble...
A-bubble-wubble...
Jacob!
So grab a rope and join us
in the Happy Forest
Where you can hang
Come here.
Where you can hang
yourself.
Jacob!
Jacob!
No!!
Let it out...
All right.
Whoops!
Grandma.
Who's that?
Nicholas!
Oh,
Nicholas.
Hmph.
His grandma used to
read him this?
I am not a fan of grandma.
Look at page 54.
You should have seen how
he reacted to it.
Now the lore is,
and I can't believe I'm
really saying it,
but the sight of your Fetch-
Evil twin.
The sight of your Fetch
is an omen.
For what?
Coming death.
This passage says
"When death is nigh
upon its ketch...
a fellow soon shall
see his Fetch."
Look, I know this sounds
ridiculous, okay?
But...
I talked to Nicholas's neighbor,
and she said that when
Nicholas was ten,
he ran to her house
when grandma
had a heart attack.
And he said "not grandma...
"Fetch."
But it's not real.
It's just a story.
Yes, but these stories,
these myths;
The grim reaper, the
angel of death,
the Fetch, whatever you
want to call it.
Nick, read this story
as a child.
Young enough to burn
it into his mind,
into his subconscious.
To him, death is connected
to the Fetch.
And after grandma's violent
heart attack
I believe he was so terrified,
his mind manifested the Fetch.
Nick! Open the door, please.
I need help!
I need he-hahaha!!
And Jacob's accident
opened an old wound
he forgot he had.
His guilt triggered
a trauma response
that tore his mind apart.
Hell it could've brought
back the Fetch.
Hahahahahaha!
Grandma stop!!
Get out of my head!!
Disassociation.
Hallucinations. Self-harm.
It's textbook schizophrenia.
It may just be a story to us,
but it could feel real to him,
whether he realizes it or not.
This may seem frightening
or hopeless.
It's not.
This is good news, Charlie.
How was this good news?
We're still trying to
understand this,
but we're in the
right direction.
This is a key. This
is a way in.
I think...
if we can get ahead
of this thing,
we properly diagnose him.
Then with medication,
time therapy,
we can level him out long term.
We just have to help
him understand
and give him the tools
he needs to fight it.
Nicholas!
Worthless!
It won't be easy.
It's all your fault.
But he can beat it.
Hang yourself.
He just has to want it.
To fight for it.
When death is nigh
upon its ketch...
a fellow soon shall
see his Fetch.
Do it!
Nicholas...
You're a coward!
I hope you're right.
Me too.
Hey.
Hey.
How's it going over there?
Going great.
Doctor Beaumont said you're
making progress.
Day by day.
You know me.
Good.
Are you all right?
Nothing to worry about.
Beaumont said that you guys
have a pizza night coming up.
Yeah, I figured I'd
change up the diet
from ham and cheese sammies.
That's good.
Well, hey...
I got to go.
Finish up some work
around the house.
Okay.
Yeah.
It was good talking to you.
Yeah, you too.
Hey, Andrew!
Oh...
He's exhausted.
Well-
Hey, doc!
Good to see you. Come on in.
I hope you're hungry!
I'm starving.
Perfect timing.
Mmmh!
It's really good.
Woah Woah Woah Woah Woah...
Where are these from?
Weird, right?
Not sure.
When's the last time you
spoke to Charlie?
Not too long ago.
Why?
Just curious.
You know, she's going
through her own
grief too.
Hmm.
If she needs me, she
knows where I am.
A little bit of unsolicited
relationship advice:
Next time you talk to her,
ask her how she's doing.
And mean it.
Mmh hmm.
On another note...
You remember Ms.Shelby
from across the road?
Oh...
God, barely. It's been forever.
I think I used to climb
her trees as a kid.
She says she saw you today
staring out your window.
Well she's mistaken.
This doesn't help
if you lie to me.
I thought we were having
a guy's night.
What's up with the third degree?
Right. You're right.
You're right.
You're right.
Let's start with something fun.
Okay?
I got some new scripts for you.
Why do you have that?
Ah, it's just a little light
reading from the library.
All right, clozapine...
It'll level out your moods
and all that fun
stuff like that.
Then trazadone...
That'll help you sleep.
And judging by your lack of it,
I think you'll be
out for a week.
Curious why there's
only two of those.
Funny.
All right, once a
day with a meal.
Okay?
Let's start right now.
Should I be taking
that with beer?
Nonalcoholic.
Done and done.
I said one sleeping pill.
Well, I'll sleep in.
Get off my ass, doc!
You know, I think I'm really
making strides here.
Yeah, I feel much better.
Like new, basically.
What, you got somewhere to be?
Let's try something different.
Focus on the sound.
And close your eyes.
Breathe.
You have control.
Grandma, please.
Nicky!
Open the fucking door!
Look!!!
See, Nicky!
I want you to see!
Look!!!
Open your eyes!
Grandma, please stop!
LOOK!!!!
What do you see?
Just a little peek for Grandma?
Aaahhh!!!
Hahahahahaha!!!
Talk to me, Nick.
What do you see?
It's my Grandma.
The night she died.
What else?
I get away, and I run
Run to Ms. Shelby's house.
I bang on the door.
Help me!!!
And then what?
Jacob.
I need to find Jacob.
Shut it up!
Aww!
Just a peek, Nicky!
Don't give in Nicholas!
You are in-
Blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah!
Say it!
Tell me you have control!
Daddy, help me, please.
Daddy!
Nick! Are you in control?
Nick!
Stay away from me!
Come on, Nick!
Don't jump!
Hahahahahaha!!!
Fight it!
All right, come back in-
Three. Two.
One.
No no no no no no.
It's okay.
It's my son!
I...
I killed my boy.
No no no no.
Breathe, all right?
I can't see his face.
I can't remember my sons face.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Ch-
Charlie hates-
It's okay.
Charlie.
She-
she hates me.
She hates-
Okay, easy now.
All right, straight back.
Yeah, good man.
Oh no.
Jesus Christ.
Oh, Nicholas.
Charlie.
I'm out at the farm
with Nicholas.
He's on some serious
sleeping pills.
I think he's probably going to-
sleep the day away tomorrow,
but listen.
Look, I was right,
and I was wrong about
this whole thing.
It is way worse than
I thought it is.
I-I'm staying the night
to keep an eye on him.
But you need to come and see him
tomorrow.
Dad.
Nick?
Nick, are you here?
Charlie?
Shit.
Hey.
You look great.
So...
why did you come out?
Doctor's orders.
Andrew slept over last night?
He did?
I had no idea.
I was conked out. Yesterday's
a blur.
Is there something
I should know?
No.
Day by day, right?
Nicholas, I thought this healed.
Look at that-
It's fine.
What the hell is happening?
Honestly, I don't know.
This is not fine.
Nicholas, this is-
Charlie, chill.
It's probably stress
induced, or-
a side-effect of the meds.
I think we need to find
another place for you.
I think I made a brash
decision and-
I'm sorry.
Hey!
We've got to get these
bruises checked out!
I can take a few days off
of work. I just, I-
Charlie, stop.
Look at me.
What's on your mind?
I've just never felt so alone.
I know how you feel.
I know.
I'm sorry.
No.
I am.
For everything.
I want to do whatever makes
your life easier.
That's what would
make me happiest.
You want me to go get
lost in Bermuda?
I can do that.
Oh, no.
I just...
I just miss him so much.
You killed our boy.
I know I did.
I'm so sorry.
You did what?
Hey, if my memory serves
me correctly,
There's a dive downtown
that has average beer
and juicy burgers.
Cherub Rock.
You hungry?
Yeah, that sounds good.
I'll hop in the shower
real quick,
then we can go.
You killed our boy.
You killed our boy!
Charlie hates you.
She left you here to rot!
It's okay.
You're okay. You're okay.
You're okay.
You're okay.
You're okay.
Hey, there.
Hi.
Can I help you?
Oh, I'm just checking in.
I'm Shelby, and this here
is Bucky, my grandson.
Doctor Beaumont told
me about you.
All good things, I'm sure!
And you are?
I'm Charlie. I'm Nicholas' wife.
How's he coming along?
Yeah, he's coming along.
Yeah.
Would you mind stepping outside
for just a second?
Yeah.
You know, this might not
be my place, but-
...house, and I was looking
over in that window.
I just couldn't-
couldn't figure out why
he couldn't see me.
You know, cause I was stand-
Hey, Charlie!
Hey!
Oh,
Hey Ms. Shelby!
It's been a long time.
I know!
I was just getting acquainted
with your lovely wife.
Yeah! Well, I got to
steal her from you.
We're headed out on the town.
Oh, please don't
let me keep you.
We should catch up sometime!
I'd call it a date,
but I'm already married.
Ha!
Jacob?
Nick?
Nick, what are you doing?
That's my grandson.
Say hi. Bucky.
Hey buddy!
Grandma!
Hey, I'm sorry!
Nicholas, what's wrong?
I'm so sorry!
Hey, let's get you inside!
I got you.
Hey!
Wait a minute.
Nick. Nick! Nick!!
Charlie, we've got him ba-
Come on, come on.
I'm so sorry.
Ms. Shelby, I'm sorry!
I'm sorry.
Your mom's gonna pick
you up soon, okay?
I'm not trying to
blame you, or...
say that you did
anything wrong.
What-
What's going on with this book?
Andrew says that-
you're seeing some
sort of a monster?
Or, a fetch?
What?
He's worried that
you might be having
hallucinations.
Dangerous hallucinations.
Oh.
So I guess you're
exchanging notes
about what you think
is happening to me.
I'm your wife.
I only want to help you-
No.
You're trying to lock me away.
You're trying to take me
from my son.
I trusted you.
Nicholas?
When death is nigh
upon its ketch
a fellow soon shall
see his Fetch.
Do it!
- Hang yourself.
- It's all your fault.
Get her out of here.
She hates you.
She hates you.
She just
left you here.
She never loved you.
She just
left you here.
Die!
Let me out.
Let me out.
Get out of here!
Nicholas!
God damn it, Charlie! Go!
Charlie!
I'm sorry.
I forgot to ask how you are.
Nicholas.
She just left.
She left you here to rot.
She left you here to die.
Charlie hates you.
I hate you.
You should be dead instead.
You're a terrible father.
Because of you.
I wish you died instead.
The world doesn't need you.
It's all your fault.
Murderer!
Nicky!
Where's that fucking ring?
You let him fall.
Kill yourself.
Think. Think!
She left you here to rot.
Where is it?
Nicholas!
What are you waiting for?
When death is nigh
upon its ketch...
a fellow soon shall
see his Fetch!
Do you see the rope
on the tree?
Around the branch?
Jacob is waiting
for you, Nicky!
Do it!
Do it!!
Do it!!!
You killed Charlie's baby.
You let him fall.
Aah!!
Come on, come on...
You got this, come on.
Fuck!
All right!
Pick up, pick up.
Charlie? What is it?
It's really bad!
Are you okay?
I don't know what to do.
Okay, okay.
Wait right there.
All right. Do not
go in without me.
I'm on the way.
Okay.
Hey!
Oh shit.
All right, we got
to get in there.
Nicholas!
Oh no.
Oh my God.
Charlie.
Nick?
Woah, woah.
Honey.
Nicholas.
It's time.
He's here.
Nicholas-
Not one step closer!
Nicholas,
Whatever you think you're
seeing right now
it is not real.
I'm ready.
He's here to help me.
I don't want you to
do this, Nick.
You're a liar, Charlotte.
Nicholas, I know you're
in there, okay?
This is in your mind.
It is not real.
You are real!
You-
You can hurt me.
You're not real.
Aahh!!
I've got work to do, Charlie!
Where were you, mommy?
Where were you when I fell?
I'll do it.
Take me!
Take me now!
Do it!
Come on!
Aahhh!!!
Nick...
Nicholas, are you okay?
Charlie...
Go.
Please go.
Nick, I love you. You
can fight this.
I don't know how.
Do it, Nick!
What?
Well, we'll never know
till it works.
Or it doesn't.
What are you doing?
Get on up you son of a bitch!
Hell...
We'll even watch.
We'll give you a proper sendoff.
Andrew, what the hell
are you doing?
Shh!
Get on up there, Nick.
You're in control.
Andrew!
It's okay, it's okay.
Ready when you are, Nicholas.
Just like last time.
Focus on the sound...
and close your eyes.
This is it, Nick.
Talk to me.
Where are you?
The pumpkin patch.
But everything's gone.
There's a door.
Come and play, play the game.
The game's for you...
And it's to hang!
What do you see?
You broke my neck, daddy.
I know.
Nick?
I can't see his face.
It was just an accident.
Say it. Nick!
What happened?
Own it.
He fell.
It wasn't your fault.
Think of Charlie.
What's happening, Nick?
I'm walking to my room.
Okay.
Go on. Go up there.
Come on.
Do it, Nicky.
I can't remember his face.
I can't see it.
Come on, Nicky.
Do it and you can see him again.
I'm so sorry.
I'll see you soon.
Pickin's Pumpkin patch.
He called the pumpkins.
"big oranges."
He had...
light brown hair like yours
when you were a kid.
He had rosy cheeks like mine...
when I'm nervous.
Shut up!
Shut up!! Shut up!!!
I'm so sorry, bud.
He had bright eyes...
that twinkled like
the night sky.
He had fre-
Has freckles.
In the shape of-
Orion's belt!
You have to forgive yourself.
We have to let him go.
Three.
Two.
One.
Boom!
Monster cookies!
Monster cookies!
Yawarrr!!
I love you, one.
I love you, two.
I love you three.
There's my guy.
All right.
I love you, Jacob.
Now go play.
Are you ready to come back?
Where the hell are you?
Be careful Nick.
Do not let him get to you.
You are in control.
When Death is nigh
upon its ketch...
Andrew!
a fellow soon shall
see his Fetch!
When Death is nigh upon-
Fight it, Nick!
Fight back!
...shall see his Fetch!
It's up to you.
You can beat this, Nick!
Make sure it's tight, Nicky!
No!
Nicholas.
Are you in control?
I am in control.
Come back in three...
two...
one.
I'm sorry, are you all right?
Yeah.
Don't worry.
I'll get you back when
you least expect it.
Ha!
Charlie.
It's about that time, Nicholas.
Sorry.
I was...
just now seeing that pillow.
Eliza made that.
God, she was almost 19.
The day before she died.
She told me the funniest joke.
We laughed till we cried.
We were close, but I just-
I missed all the signs.
I, uh-
I'm so proud of you.
I've had those demons.
And those demons are
just like bullies.
You stare them in the eye,
they're cowards,
and they'll run.
I don't know how to thank you.
Keep doing what you're doing.
Well...
If you ever need someone
to talk...
Likewise.
Yeah, well, I don't
have a choice.
I'll see you next week.
Yes you will.
Thanks, doc.
This is the last of it.
One last thing, Your Highness.
It's perfect.
