Thank y'all. Thank y'all.
We let Alex shine a little bit on that last one.
The bad news is my man won't be with us too much longer.
He's decided to leave the nest.
Fly off on his own.
[LAUGHS]
Think you can handle it?

Look, there's a reason why you can get a big house in the sticks for dirt cheap.
It's a wasteland.
The next she wants to stay. She's all over the map.
Well, if you think it's such a great idea, then why wait?
I knew it.
You don't wanna go.
It'll be fine.
3 hours away?
I'm never gonna see you.
I just can't imagine raising a baby in the city.
This house, it is like a Malibu Barbie dream house.
I mean, this would be a project for me, not some client.
And Alex is cool with it?
All these demos and even if just a couple of them pay off,
then he can support me.
I'm very happy for you.
Thank you.
Oh, God.
[SIGHS]
You know what that look was, right?
Yes, I do. Ahem.
But she'd be just as happy with a placeholder ring.
I don't wanna be that guy.
I'm not gonna get her a piece of shit.
I thought maybe you were one of those people
who doesn't believe in marriage.
Your parents were married, right?
3 times each.
Aha.
Now we're getting someplace.
Oh, so sorry.
When you stare at us while you're talking,
then we know you're talking about us.
Oh, women have amazing powers.
Uh, can I get you a non-alcoholic beer?
No, we have to go back to the office.
We have to finish up some work.
Yeah, you guys are going to Chippendale's
where some oily guys gonna give her a lap dance.
I don't have a lap.
[LAUGHTER]
Bye.
May I?
May you what?
What are you--oh, God!
Oh, my God, my back!
I-it's all these things I never thought about before.
I don't have a little sister, I never even babysat,
and now I worry about everything, like,
what if I drop him on his head?
No, I'm being serious.
They come with skulls.
My mother's a disaster.
I mean, what if that's genetic?
What if I inherit all her maternal incompetence?
I don't think there's a gene for that, Penny.
Penny?
[EXHALING DEEPLY]
Penny? Oh, my God.
Ha ha. Oh, my God.
Yeah. Oh, my God!
Yes. Oh, my God!
God damn it, why don't you answer the phone?
Listen, if you're still with Alex,
tell him we are at the hospital.
We can't a hold of him and Penny is in labor.
Call me when you get this.
[BREATHING DEEPLY] Ok.
It's gonna be ok. Ok.
[NO AUDIO]
I missed it.
It happened really fast.
I can't believe I missed it.
Come in, come on, here.
Hey.

Oh. Hey.
That's your dad, huh?
Boy, we can just, uh, about handle anything now, huh?
Hmm.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]
[BEEP OF ANSWERING MACHINE]
PENNY: Hey, I know you're working,
but I talked to the realtor in Stanton.
I told him if he cut his fee in half,
we could close the deal right now.
He must be sick of my haggling because he went for it.
I just think we have to do it.
It's such a steal.
We'd be crazy to pass this up.
And I really believe I can turn it into something spectacular.
Anyway, I'll grab something from carmine's on the way home.
We can start hammering it out.
I just wanna make sure you're ok with this.
If you're having any doubts at all, just let me know.
Ok? I love you so much.
Well, it looks a little dreary in the late months.
But you know, in the spring with plants,
trees, I mean, it's gonna--
we could just paint it, paint the brick.
Hmm.
It's from Michael.
"May this beautiful tree represent your growing
love and blooming hopes, and blah, blah, blah."
Does it really say, "blah, blah, blah"?
Yeah. [LAUGHS]

There's something I don't mind being left behind.

How would you like your rib-eye cooked?
Aah!
[BABY CRYING]
I'm sorry. You ok?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Get rid of that thing.
Well, now everything we cook's gonna taste like baby.
That's not funny.
[BABY CRIES]
That's in the kitchen. Out back.
Oh, and that goes upstairs.
[INAUDIBLE]
[BANGING]
Hey, hold on! Hold on!
I'll--I'll help you with that.
Here, I'll get the door.
You've gotta be kidding me.
This was--this was supposed to be gone.
Can your guys get this shit outta here?
I cannot put my piano in there with this stuff.
So what, just leave it here on the ground?
[SIGHS]
What is all this crap?
Sorry.
How's little T?
He's good. He's napping.
Can I give you a hand with anything?
No, but maybe later you could help me with the monitor?
Ok.
Poor girl.
Probably wondering what she did to deserve this.
Hmm.
A lot of crap in here.
Shit!
No!
God damn it! God damn it!
Are you on channel A or channel B?
[BABY CRYING]
Channel B.
Should I put it back on the shelf?!
You don't have to yell.
I can hear you through the monitor.
Ok.
Yeah, put it back on the shelf.
I think you have it pointing at the ceiling.
You need to point it down to the crib.
[STATIC]
Just move it a little bit to the left.
[GASPS]
What's wrong?
Oh, God.
Where are you taking my mom?
I'm sorry, babe.
But the effect with the camera was a little creepy.
Well, what about the monitor?
It's good.
Move it two inches to the right.

Why don't you take him inside?
[CONSTRUCTION NOISES]
I'm gonna throw up.
How could we not know?
We saw it on a Sunday.
We moved in on a Sunday.
We can't live like this.
With Tanner not sleeping?
It was his first night like that.
We'll--we'll get rest.
You need quiet.
I'll manage.

Nah, we'll be fine.

No, it must be the pipes.
Just another charming idiosyncrasy of this house.

You know, I don't like you leaving the baby
alone up there like that.
No, I--I--I've got the internet hooked up.
He's just watching florin.

Did you not think to check the water?
I did check it when I was filling it up.
Oh, my God.

I can't even leave the baby alone with you for one minute.
I can't do everything myself.

Don't yell at me, all right?
I'm tired and I'm-- I'm scared.
What are you scared of?
Ahh. I saw...
What?
Somebody in the house.
It was through the mirror.
She ran by and then she was gone.
I don't know. Maybe I was asleep.
I can't even see straight anymore.
I'm losing it, too.
They say people start to hallucinate.
It's a fact.
I googled it.
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
I don't know if I can stand much more of this.

I left a message for you the other day.
All that peace and quiet driving you crazy yet?
Johanna and I would love to come down and,
uh, check the place out.
I'm sure you're ready to get drunk
and admit that you screwed up.
Because you know you screwed up, right?
Big time. What were you thinking?
[VOICES OVERLAPPING] This is your life now.
Whole entire life is nothing but that house.
You haven't written a demo, not one verse, not one note
of music the whole time you've been here.
You just stagger around like a zombie, having nightmares
about a woman, because she told you
she saw a woman in the house.
She put it in your head and now look at you.
Is that what you wanted?
Did you not see Tanner sitting here right in front of you?
Why did you leave him at the top of the stairs?
Y-y-you're telling me that y-y-you didn't
put him in the wagon and set him right there?
Yes, I put him in the wagon, but I had him in the nursery.
You just said you didn't put him in there.
Ok. Y-you have got to manage this situation better, all right?
I did not put him at the top of the stairs, Alex!
I didn't. You're walking around in a complete stupor!
Ok, I gotta get outta here.
I'm gonna go to the store.
[CRUNCHING]
Sweetie, put some shoes on.
What's wrong?
Are you sure you're ok to drive?
Uh...
I just drifted off for a second.
You forgot the list. I talked to Dr. Gordon.
He said try gripe water.
He may be having gas at night.
Gripe water.
Are you sure you're ok to leave?
I'm fine.
Ok.
Don't be gone long.
[BABY MURMURING]
[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]
Thank you.
[SIGHS]
Whoa!
For a second there,
I thought you were the grim reaper.
I'm too young to die!
[BEEPING]
So I would normally never ask a customer this,
but, um, are you ok?
I'm hangin' in there, I suppose.
New baby?
5 months old.
Oh.
Doesn't sleep?
Now when he's supposed to.
He's got it all upside-down.
[SIGHS] They got a term for it.
It's called day/night confusion.
That'd be a really good name for a band.
[BEEPING]
What?
You like babies?
Um, I wouldn't choose to like, hang out with one,
but I know sometimes it can't be helped.
Are you asking me if I'll baby-sit for you?
Yeah.
Yeah. Yes.
Does your TV work?
You didn't answer my question about the TV.
Ok, all right, look, our cable doesn't work.
But our DVD player works great.
Ok, ok. Take it easy.
I mean, we just need someone to--who will, uh,
to stay the night with the baby.
That, I mean, that's it.
Ok. I can trust you?
Like, I'm not gonna touch your liquor cabinet.
I had one too many wine coolers once
when I was 14, so I don't touch the stuff.
Smart girl.
So, um, I normally would ask 10 an hour,
but since I'm gonna be doing this overnight--
whatever you want. I mean...Here.
Ok. [CHUCKLES]
Yeah, you just gave me a hundred, so...
[CHUCKLES]
Hi.
So I have a baby brother and a baby sister.
And my older sister has a baby.
And my older brother has a baby.
You wanna hear about my cousins?
No, that's... No, that's good.
Nice place.
So, um, if he sleeps,
then you can bring him upstairs to his crib.
But what's been happening since we moved in here
is he wakes up every 15 minutes.
If that's the case, I would just keep him down here.
You know you don't put him to sleep on his belly, right?
And if he---if he's sleepin' and you get tired, you know,
you can just crash out on the couch.
Or, um, coffee. We have a coffee maker.
No, I don't do caffeine.
She doesn't drink either.
And no red meat.
If that matters.
Well, that's actually kind of cool.
But really, I don't want you to worry about me.
Or the baby, of course.
[MUFFLED] So this is not gonna be a problem for me
[NORMAL VOICE] But you know what I can't do?
So, uh, y'all might want to be thinking about bed, huh?
Yeah.
Electric chairs that carries you up and down the stairs.
What?
Nothing.
Never mind.
Electric chair.
I think she was making a joke.
[SIGHS]
Thank you for this.
You were right.
I love hearing you say I'm right.
Get some sleep.
You don't think there's something wrong with this place, do you?
I think one good night's sleep
and all this shit's gonna go away.
Ok?
Yeah.
[BABY MURMURING]
[SQUEAK]
Hal?
We're doing good down here.
I think he's gonna stay down for a while.
Um, do you wanna put him in his crib?
Or should I do it?
Um, do you want me to...
You know what?
I'm gonna get him for you.

that someone would leave in the middle of the night?!
You're--you're taking it too far.
No, I'm not!
Penny, please!
Stop, ok? Stop what?!
Look. I know it's wrong.
I-I take full responsibility.
But she's gone, for whatever reason.
And we were a few feet away in our room, sleeping.
We didn't even have our monitor on!

And babies died every night their cribs!

You tied one on Saturday night,
induced yourself into a junior coma,
and you lost an entire day.
Welcome to Monday.

could you please, please stop pounding on the window?

is...undermining your ability to play piano.

Look-- no.
I-I know you're scared. I'm scared, too.
We are falling apart.
We cannot function like this.
I can help you.
I could take care of Tanner. No--
no, I'll take care of him and then you sleep.
I have to be here to protect him. Don't you understand?
Then something's gonna happen.
It's the only way we're gonna get through this.
God, I want to go home.
I want to go home.
You just need to get some sleep.
Here.
Take these.
No.
What are you doing?
Stay away from me.
Stay away from you?
All I've ever done is taken care of you and the baby.
You wanted this baby just as much
as you wanted to move into this house.
That's not true.
You think I'm an idiot?
You can't do this to me! You can't treat me like this!
I said stay away from me.
I would never hurt you.

WOMAN: It's been more than 6 weeks since a local woman
wandered away from her hospital room
in Stanton only to disappear.
The woman was being treated for shock
following the death of her 8-month-old daughter
who perished when a fire broke out
at their home in Butler county.
Rescue efforts tapered off after multiple searches
of the neighborhood turned up nothing.
But the case is getting a second look
after the disappearance of another woman in the same town.
19-year-old Nancy Leggero was reported missing
this week after failing to show up at the supermarket
police in Butler county are now wondering
in the disappearance of the two women.
