Fostered, The (2025)

[bunniefuu]

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 sh*t h*le.

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 b*tch!

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?

sh*t.

You might be

all right after all.

Whatever.

That kid of yours,

man, is weird as sh*t.

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 a*s?

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 a*s

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 k*ller 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

m*rder thing.

A lot of those kids end up

cutters and sadistic

little weirdos

who end up torturing

kittens and baby birds and sh*t.

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 sh*t.

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.

sh*t.

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 as*h*le.

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 a*s.

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.

sh*t!

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 sh*t.

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 b*tch.

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 sh*t.

- 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 b*tch ever since.

I'm about sick of it.

Oh, I hear you. That Morgan's

a little sh*t too, huh?

You're telling me.

[KEVIN[ Think the m*rder 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 sh*t 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 a*s.

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 a*s 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.
