00:00Let's go!
00:09Let's go!
00:11Let's go!
00:30All right. Just about bedtime. We have time for a story. Just one.
00:45See that?
00:49That knife was a gift to your grandfather.
00:51It was dipped in white ash. You know why?
00:55To protect us from evil spirits.
00:59There's a legend. A story. About a creature. A shapeshifter. So evil. Can't even say it's new.
01:12What happens if you do?
01:18It comes for you. Your spirit draws it in. It preys on the weak.
01:25And hunts them down. Like deer. Then, when it chooses a victim, it can change shapes.
01:36It can become an animal. A person. Someone you know. It could be anyone. Even...
01:43Me!
01:51Well, have you seen it?
01:54No. But, it's important we share our stories. Because in the end, it's all we are.
02:00Now, time for bed.
02:17I'm scared.
02:19It's just a story. I don't believe it.
02:23Elena, are you really gonna leave the res and go to the city?
02:28I won't. I'll go to bed.
02:31When I'm blood in my bed.
02:32I fell into bed.
02:33I fell into bed.
02:35I don't know.
03:04I can bring it to the car.
03:05I got it.
03:06Elena.
03:07You're okay, right?
03:08Yeah.
03:09That's exactly what you wanted.
03:11Elena.
03:12Hey.
03:13Hey.
03:14Hey.

03:31Hey.
03:32Hey.
03:33Hey.
03:34Did that ever occur to you?
03:35Did you ever think about that?
03:36No.
03:37You weren't just getting high.
03:38You were killing yourself.
03:39If I never found you, you'd be dead.
03:40Just like your fucking mom.
03:48Elena.
03:50Elena, come on, man.
03:51Elena, just...
03:54Come on.
03:55Just go back inside.
03:56We can talk about this, please.
03:57For the love of Christ.
03:58Just come back in.
03:59Let go.
04:00I'm not letting go.
04:01You're going to come back inside,
04:02and you're going to come talk to me.
04:03I'm not going to leave.
04:04Please.
04:08Please.
04:33I don't know.
05:03I don't know.

05:10I don't know.
05:15I don't know.
05:20Fuck, Andrew, please.
05:25Christina?
05:26Hey, are you home yet?
05:29Dad didn't go to work today and I'm getting kind of scared.
05:32He probably just got confused about the time again.
05:35He'll make it home soon.
05:37I know, but you haven't been here, Elena.
05:39He's been acting really weird.
05:41He told me he saw Mom the other night standing in our backyard.
05:45He said that she was just staring at the house.
05:51Don't worry, Dad's fine.
05:52We just need to adjust his meds again.
05:54I'll see you soon, okay?
05:55Okay.
05:56Elena?
05:57Yeah?
05:58I'm glad you're home.
