- [Hannah] Hey honey, we've
made it safely to Japan.
Kids are loving Tokyo.
We've been,
you know, visiting museums,
wondering through parks.
So beautiful.
They're like little
sponges soaking it all up.
Oh, speaking of new things,
the toilet's here.
You gotta come here soon
and check it out yourself.
Jack, we're thinking of
you every single day.
I miss you so much.
(no audio)
(video call ringing)
- Hey honey.
- How's the day? You're already
in full swing.
- Oh no, we're just
getting started.
- While I'm slaving
away over here.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
The water is so clear.
- Yeah?
- The boys are playing
with the other boys.
We're just relaxing.
- Lemme see.
- Say hi.
- Hi.
- Hi, Jack.
- Hi.
- Hello.
Hi, hi, hi, hello.
All right, well, I'll
let you get to it.
I just wanted to check in.
Have fun.
Make sure you send--
(woman shouting)
Whoa.
- Kyle?
- What, Hannah, what's going on?
- Kyle!
- What?
Whoa.
Hannah?
Hannah, what happened?

Breathe, breathe.
(dark music)
(dark music continues)
(people continue shouting)
- Come on, come on.
Come on, come on!
Wake up.
No, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no.
(dark music)
- [Jack] How did this happen?
- I, I don't know.
Seriously, we,
we were all hanging
around the same spot.
I was playing catch with
a couple friends, and
the younger kids were hunting
for water bugs with their nets
and Kyle was just,
was just gone.
Everybody was screaming.
- Your mom,
why is she not
answering her phone?
- She--
(nurse speaking Japanese)
- Okay.
(nurse speaking Japanese)
- Sorry, one sec.
Yeah, yeah, why isn't
mom answering her phone?
'Cause they won't allow phones
inside the damn hospital.
- Hey, watch your language.
Easy.
- Sorry.
- So how's Kyle doing now?
- The doctor's saying
he's gonna be fine.
It's good that we had
Eureko there with us.
- Who's that?
- She's mom's friend.
She's a nurse.
She helped save Kyle.
Oh, dad, mom's calling.
I gotta run.
- All right.
- All right, bye.

(Jack mumbles)
- I need some rest.
(mouse clicking)
I don't like talking
to a blank screen.
Can you turn your
camera on please?
- [Hannah] Better?
- Thank you.
Yes.
That's, that's much better.
- [Hannah] You're welcome.
Enjoy the Japanese countryside.
- [Jack] What'd you
pick up at the store?
- [Hannah] Just different
things for the party.
I'm gonna make
burgers and hot dogs.
Also got some cucumbers.
- What is up with his love
of cucumbers these days?
- [Hannah] Yeah, I don't know,
but at least it's not junk food.
That's gotta be good.
- Yeah, still such a
weird change in taste.
- [Hannah] Cucumbers
were the only food
in the hospital he liked.
They served white rice,
miso soup, tofu, natto,
I mean healthy.
But for a kid, you know.
- Natto, ugh.
God, I could never
get over the smell.
- Your palate is
underdeveloped so
you wouldn't understand
how good natto is.
- Hey mom.
- Hey,
can you help me with this stuff?
- Hey Steve.
- There's a lot for the party.
- Dad, hi.
Uh, yeah, take those.
- Oh shit.
- Oh.
Language.
- Language.
- Sorry.
- Hey, buddy.
- [Hannah] Hey, hey,
hey, come back here.
We need to wash those first.
Do not even think about it.
Give me that.
- What's up with him?
- Well, he's been,
he's been really quiet lately.
Hopefully the party
will cheer him up.
- Yeah.
You know, you shouldn't
have to go to the store
all by yourself.
- I know Steve wanted to come,
but I didn't want
him to stay home
and I'm not gonna
leave him alone.
- Show me what they're doing.
What's he got?
- [Steve] Dude, dude.
(dark music)
- [Kyle] My frog.
Get away from him.
(Kyle screeching)
(dark music)
- Hey, guys.
Calm down, stop fighting.
It's just a frog.
- [Kyle] My frog.
Get away from him.
Give him.
- I was just looking.
(Kyle yelling)
Can you just,
He just fucking bit me.
- [Jack] Language.
- [Steve] Look at.
(Kyle shouting)
- What happened?
What'd you say to him?
- [Steve] I didn't say anything.
This is how bad--
- Let me see.
(Kyle screaming)
(video sound distorting)
What happened?
What'd you say--
(dark music)
(dark music continues)
(eerie music)
(eerie music continues)

(eerie music continues)
(eerie music continues)
- Kyle is dealing with
a traumatic experience.
Plus, he's entering adolescence,
which makes things
more difficult.
A lot of parents go
through this with critique.
- Yeah, but my concern is
he's not getting any better.
I mean, he bit his brother
in front of my own eyes.
He's never been violent before.
- Right.
From what you told me,
I understand his brother
was trying to take
something away from him.
Kids, especially
boys of Kyle's age,
would get angry even
without any traumas.
Also, your wife mentioned
that she was thinking
of taking the boys
back to the states soon.
I strongly recommend
it against that.
Putting Kyle through a
long flight right now--
- And how do I know you're
not just saying that
so you can charge us
for more sessions?
- Mr. Reynolds, no,
I'm saying that because
it's in your son's
best interest.
Kyle just need some time.
- Time, how long?
- You need to be
patient, Mr. Reynolds.
That's what we've
been working on.
(uneasy music)
Please try to remember what you
felt when you were drowning.
(uneasy music continues)
(audio distorting)
- [Kyle] Okay?
(uneasy music continues)
- [Dr. Ishikawa] Okay.
Yeah, maybe we can go to the--
(audio distorts)
You really need to--

no matter what, you know,
I just wanted to say it.
I, and I know what
you're going through.
Gimme a call whenever
you get this.
(no audio)

(video phone ringing)
Hey babe.
- Hey.
- [Jack] Oh my God,
that looks amazing.
Ready to party hard.
- I wish that you could be here.
- Yeah, me too.
- Look at this.
- Oh yeah.
- Oh, you can't see properly?
- Oh wait,
I thought you were getting
in this Spider-Man banner.
- I was, but they
were outta Spider-Man.
I'm so sorry.
So this is gonna have to do
- The Hulk's amazing.
That's great.
Fantastic.
Where are the boys?
- Oh, Steve's exercising.
Kyle's asleep, so I'm
trying to get everything--
- He's sleeping a lot, huh?
- [Hannah] He wakes up.
Let him sleep.
- Wait, wait.
Oh, look what I just got.
All right.
Go inside, go to the door.
My present for
Kyle just arrived.
- How do you know?
- Huh, how do I?
I have magical powers.
- Oh my God.
(doorbell ringing)
You're stalking the guy.
- Go.
- Instead of working,
you're stalking delivery people.
- Yeah.
Wait, Kyle,
(uneasy music)
- Ta-da.
- Kyle's awake already, I think.
- [Hannah] What?
Wait, what, where?
(doorbell ringing)
- He was on the stairs.
- [Hannah] Who is that now?
(message dings)
(mouse clicking)
(uneasy music)
(delivery person
speaking Japanese)
- [Hannah] Is this from you?
No, you were just delivering.
Okay.
Thought it was weird.
(uneasy music continues)
Or a stranger and
everything, I dunno.
Okay.
Do I need to sign twice
because there's two things.
Okay.
That's it?
Are you gonna help
me carry them inside?
(delivery person
speaking Japanese)
- [Hannah] Thank you.
(uneasy music continues)
- Hey.
I didn't know that Kyle
understands Japanese.
- What?
He doesn't.
Where's your present?
- I told you he's
already awake, but
show me what the guy delivered.
Let me see.
(uneasy music continues)
- Look.
I've gotta put it away.
Aye, aye, aye.
And what's this one?
- Well, there's only
one way to find out.
Yeah, you like 'em?
- This is amazing.
- Miss you too, love you.
- [Steve] Kyle, come on,
you're unfolding it wrong.
- Well, good morning,
good morning.
- Good morning everyone.
(audio distorting)
- [Hannah] Happy birthday Kyle.
Say hi to your father.
- Hi, happy birthday
(audio distorting)
- Come on.
Dad, this is a
super cool present.
Can, can Kyle and I go fly it?
- Hold on, we gotta make sure
that we know how it works first.
Kyle,
Kyle?
(audio distorting)
What do you think, man?
You like your present?
Need some help?
- No thanks, I got this.
- He's got it.
- All right, wait.
Show me what he's doing
over there please?
- [Hannah] Yeah.
(audio garbles)
I think the kids
have had enough.
(audio garbles)
- All right, you
wanna go fly it?
- No.
Look--
- Let's go.
- Hold on, wait a
second, I wanna come.
Hold on.
Whoa.
Come on.
- Hey dad, sorry.
I'll go catch up and
you can see everything.
- Oh.
- Oh, I lost him.
- [Jack] Look around the lake.
- All right, I'll try that.
(footsteps tapping)
Hey Kyle, Kyle wait up.
I got the phone.
(rain pattering)
Hey dad, can you wait one sec?
I'm gonna turn the
camera off real quick.
- Hey,
I, I don't know about
this, all right.
I don't think we should be
messing with mom's phone.
It's gonna break.
- [Steve] Alright, now don't
go too high with it though.
- [Kyle] I won't.
- Hey,
no, no, no, no, no, no.
Hey guys, guys,
guys, cut it out.
(drone buzzing)
- [Steve] Kyle, try
not to go too high.
- [Kyle] It's okay.
(uneasy music)
(drone buzzing)
(uneasy music continues)
- [Steve] Oh shit,
it's gonna crash.
- [Jack] Let it crash.
- [Steve] Wait, wait, Kyle.
- No.

- Hey!
- What are you doing?
- [Jack] Yo, what are you doing?
Stop it.

- Dad, Kyle's in the next room.
I can't let him hear this.
Okay.
So in, in the Airbnb
we're staying in,
there's this baby monitor.
- Why didn't you
tell me this before?
- 'Cause there was
nothing to tell.
It's all good.
But I haven't checked the
footage from last night.
(no audio)
Holy shit.
- Watch your language.

There is something seriously

I am serious, Hannah.
I mean who is this therapist?
What the fuck does he know?
We are wasting our time.
- What are you talking about?
He just needs--
- Time,
time, time, time, time.
Always time.
We don't have any more time.
There's something wrong--
- You know what,
stop right there.
No, enough, enough, enough.
I know this has been
hard for all of us.
I get that.
But I'm in here alone.
Me.
I'm dealing with the accident.
I'm dealing with the aftermath,
and doing the best I
can, for Christ sakes.
Alone.
I don't wanna fight with you.
Can't we just talk
when you've calmed down.

- Where have you been?
- The base is on lockdown.
We've been doing
security drills.
What, what, what's going on?
- Jack, Steve's disappeared.
I, I'm, I don't
know where he is.
- What?
- He was--
- What do you mean
he's disappeared?
- He's disappeared.
He was home last night
and now he's not.
And I, I, I called,
his phone's off.
Or it's, the battery's dead.
I don't know.
- Okay, all right.
Well, is he with his friends?
Did he have any plans.
- I don' t know.I'm at the
police station now, so.
- Where's Kyle?
- He's fine.
He's with Eureko, bye-bye.
- Alright, look.
Just, just stay calm.
- Okay, I'm--
- Steve's a smart kid.
I'm sure it's just a--
- I'm, I'm gonna call you back.
- [Steve] Hi dad.
Tonight, I'm gonna
find out where he goes
and what he does out there.
Wish me luck.

- [Steve] It wasn't on purpose.
- I know it wasn't, but Steve,
you gotta use your head.
Look, I know you're cooped up.
You, you want to get out at
night, play with your friends.
All you're doing right now
is you're stressing out your mom
and you're stressing out me.
- You have to tell
me where you go.
- I know, I know.
- I'm not holding
you prisoner here,
but you're still a kid.
- [Jack] And, and remember,
you're in a foreign country.
You don't even
speak the language.
- Okay, look, I'm, I'm sorry.
Next time I will try
to be more careful
and informative, okay?
And I seriously do not mean
to freak anybody out, okay?
- Okay.
Well, I hope we can believe you.
- Yeah, me too.
- Can I go to my room?
- Yeah.
- Dad, hold on.
- Okay.
Did you see them?
- That was wild.
So those kids was
Kyle among them?
- I don't, I don't know.
I lost 'em on the
way to the lake and
yeah, I don't know if
they were kids though.
They, they were strange and
I, I didn't follow them.
So maybe he wasn't
with them at all.
Maybe they were a
night swimming team.
- Yeah, Steve, look
what you did was very brave.
But you cannot do anything
like that ever again.
Not unless you
have my permission.
Okay?
- I know.
- All right, good.
So look, I need you to set up
some more cameras.
I'm sending you the devices.
They're gonna be
really easy to set up.
Once we have a little
more evidence, then,
then I'll be ready
to show Hannah.
- No, dad, please, please don't
show anything to mom, okay?
Just don't.
- Why?
- She's, she's been really
stressed out lately.
I don't, I don't think
she could handle it.
- What are you talking about?
Steve?
What's going on?
Steve?
Talk to me.
- Dad, she,
I think she's
taking pills again.
- You saw her?
You saw her take them?
- No.
- All right, look, I'll,
I'll talk to her, okay?
- Please don't tell
her I told you.
- No, no, no, no, no,
no, of course not.
Look, one more thing,
I'm gonna send you
some help, okay?
Do you remember that guy, Ryan,
that I served in
Okinawa with him?
- Okay.
- He's still in Japan.
He's actually not that far.
- Yeah, I remember him.
He used to crush beer
cans with his forehead.
- Yeah, that's the guy.
Anyway, look, he's
gonna be there soon,
so just hang tight
until then, okay?
- Yes sir.
- I love you buddy.
- I love you too.
(gentle music)
Goddamn pills again.
(video call ringing)
- I just landed, bro.
Woo.
Oh man, it's been ages since
I've been back to Tokyo.
- [Jack] How are you?
- I'm good.
Question is, how are
you and how's Kyle?
- I'm fine, Kyle's the same.
I don't know, maybe worse.
You get the money I sent you?
- You didn't have
to do that, Jack.
- Yes I did soldier.
- Well, I looked at
what you sent me.
It's weird, but
we'll figure it out.
No worries, okay?
- Yeah.
I mean, I know I
could be overreacting.
I could be going crazy, but
I just need somebody who can
check on my family, you know.
Somebody who's actually
there, close by.
Somebody that I trust, a friend.
- I'll do whatever you
need me to do, bro.
You know that.
Don't worry.
There's always an explanation.
Remember Joe from Iraq
was acting all weird
and then he got diagnosed
with meningitis.
- Joe?
Joe was weird before
he got meningitis.
- That's true.
- Yeah, I don't know.
I mean, Kyle got
checked out the hospital
after the accident.
I don't think it's a,
I don't think it's an infection.
- Okay, then maybe it's
some spiritual shit,
like Ghostbusters.
Who are you gonna call?
- Funny.
- Sorry man.
Remember in the night
stalker in Baghdad?
He was a phantom.
He was standing there one
second, gone the next.
Nobody believed in him until
the body started turning up.
You saw him, remember?
- Yeah, look, why don't
you get some rest?
You know, get some sleep.
Call me later, okay?
- Alright.
It won't be long.
- Thanks for this, bro.
- [Ryan] Anytime, bro.
Over.
(uneasy music)
(message dings)
- Hey dad, check this out.
We got the cameras
up and running.
This one goes next.

- Hey buddy.
What's up?
That's, that's cool.
What is that?
- A lamp.
- Yeah, what kind of lamp?
- A lava lamp.
- Cool.
Where'd you get it?
- Friend.
- Cool.
Who's a friend?
- [Hannah] Kyle, sweetie.
Who are you talking to?
(cucumber crunching)
- [Jack] Kyle, your
mom's calling for you.
Answer her.
(audio distorting)
(tense music)
- Jack, can you calm down?
It's the Japanese countryside.
It's humid.
Insects--
- Hannah, Hannah,
the thing, it was crawling
all down his neck.
- I doubt it was
crawling on his neck.
- Can't you see
what is going on?
Open your eyes.
- I see you freaking
out because an insect
was on your son.
- Where is he?
Where is he right now?
Where is he?
- He's in the garden
watering the plants.
Don't speak to me like that.
- Look, I can't,
that, that's it, goodbye.
(tense music)
(messages dinging)
(video call ringing)
- At least you got a
glass of rocky out of it.
- Yeah.
- Let's think out of the box.
I have an idea.
I know a Buddhist monk.
I'm gonna contact him.
You know, maybe Kyle's under
the influence of a sect.
It's possible.
- Yeah, sure, why not?
- Also, I'm gonna set these up
around the place where
the accident happened.
See if anything shows up.
- Yeah, alright.
Sounds like a plan.
Wait, hold on a second.
(video call ringing)
Hannah's calling,
I'll call you back.
- [Ryan] All right, later bro.
- Hey babe, what's up?
- Hey Jack, we have to go.
- What?
What do you mean?
The doctor said the opposite.
- Something wrong,
I'm going absolutely crazy.
I'm exhausted, and
at least if we go,
I'll have some help.
Can you hear--
- No!
- Can you hear that?
He wants to go too.
- I want to go home.
I wanna go home.
- No, no, no, no, no.
Look, I,
I already filed leave.
Just, just wait
till I get there.
I, I was looking forward to,
you know, seeing you guys,
this is our first trip
since moving to the States.
- Jack, I,
(audio garbles)
and I almost lost another child.
This is my fault and I
just want to take care
of a living son.
- No, no, no, it's
not your fault.
It's nobody's fault.
Take it easy.
Look, you're an amazing woman,
incredible mother,
wonderful wife.
It's all gonna be fine, okay?
I promise.
All right, lemme talk to Kyle.
- [Kyle] I wanna go home!
I wanna go home!
- Hey buddy.
- Dad.
(Kyle screaming)
- Hey, so I know you don't
wanna stay in Yamanachi,
that's fine.
Get a hotel room
in Tokyo or Osaka.
Universal Studios.
They, they have the Spiderman.
(Kyle screaming)
(dark music)
(Kyle screaming)
- Fuck.
(uneasy music)
(uneasy music continues)
(uneasy music continues)
- Everything's
nada, but yesterday,
rewind it at 1.15.56.
(audio garbles)
(dark music)
(uneasy music)
(uneasy music continues)
(uneasy music continues)
All right, I see him.
(gentle music)
(uneasy music)
(uneasy music continues)
(uneasy music continues)
- Will you just show him
the security camera
footage already?
Come on, it's the first thing.
- [Ryan] Alright, chill out.
(Ryan speaking Japanese)
- What is it?
(monk speaking Japanese)
- [Ryan] He says it's Kappa,
the keeper of lakes,
rivers, and ponds.
- Keeper?
- An ancient species.
People think that
they're mythical, but
he claims that they're
more than real.
Hey Jack, check this out.
- Dude, I can't see that.
- Alright, I'll send
you a photo later.
- Does your son have a
sudden love for cucumbers?
- Yes, cucumbers.
He, he loves cucumbers
all of a sudden
- Those are Kappa's
favorite food.
But still, something
is not right.
Kappas usually kill children,
and sometimes adults.
It is not common that one
gets possessed by a Kappa.
- So, so what does he want?
I mean, how do we get
the Kappa out of my son?
- Actually,
you know,
there was a case
about 15 years ago,
a brother from another
temple dealt with that.
- What kind of case?
- American came to the temple
with a similar problem.
His son seemed to be
controlled by a Kappa.
- [Jack] What happened?
I mean, was he able
to help the boy?
Who's the monk?
Can we talk to him?
- Unfortunately, he passed
away five years ago.
- But what was he
able to help him?
- It wasn't my case.
And he never returned.
I assume he succeeded.
And you need to hurry.
The longer you wait,
the more danger for your son.
- You, you mean my
son will be killed?
(dark music)
- The Kappa will
swallow the boy's soul.
Then it will be
impossible to save him.
- All right, all right,
don't worry,
we won't be long.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
Thank you much.
(Jack speaking Japanese)
(strange music)
(strange music continues)
(strange music continues)
(message dings)
- Look at all this, Jack.
I mean, if these are all real,
we're gonna have to call the
Winchester brothers for help.
And here's our friend.
You see the hollow on
the top of the head?
It's filled with water.
If it dries out, the
couple will lose its power,
might even die.
But the good thing is
it can be killed
with any firearm.
Correct?
And I definitely have something
that meets this requirement.
(strange music)

- I am stating for the record,
that yes, my son, Chuck Gray,
whom I love with all
my heart and soul,
was possessed.
- [Interviewer] By, by what?
- Something had
taken control of him.
- [Interviewer] When did
this possession begin?
- We were having a good time
taking pictures and sightseeing
and during his summer break.
And I wanted to show him
where I was stationed
during my service.
And everything was
going great until
we went to the
lake in Yamanashi.
That's where it happened.
(strange music continues)
- I told Mr. Gray
that his son was okay
and that exorcism was
out of the question.
But he kept insisting,
saying his son was possessed.
I told him I couldn't help him
and that he should
seek psychiatric help.
He left angry.
- [Reporter] The man was
arrested today in Tokyo suburbs.
The body was found charred.
It seems the father
set the child on fire.
- So this level of dehydration
doesn't happen in
minutes or hours.
This was a long
and painful death.
(strange music continues)

- Hey, what's up?
- [Jack] Hey.
- [Ryan] So I managed
to get a rifle
and I found a pair of
night vision goggles
from Okinawa on eBay.
The monk said it's
better go at night
'cause these things
are night animals.
- Can you get another set?
- Goggles?
I don't know, why?
- Because my leaves gonna
come through any minute.
I wanna go with you.
- Lemme see what I can do.
- Oh, and
remember that case the
monk was mentioning
the American from like
15 years ago or whatever?
- Yeah.
- Well, I did a little digging
and I got some information.
A guy did like an exorcism
on his son or something.
I was thinking about,
I know it's a shot in the dark,
but maybe reaching out to him,
seeing if he could, I don't
know, tell us something.
- Did he manage to get
that thing out of his kid?
- The kid died.
Guy's doing a life
sentence in Arizona.
- Oh shit.
They why do you
wanna contact him?
- I don't know. Maybe he could
give us
some advice or something.
(Ryan chuckles)
- On how to get your kid killed?
Sorry bro, I don't think
we need advice from a guy
who murdered his own son.
(message dings)
Look, I gotta go.
Keep me updated on your leave.
Over.

I wasn't sure I was
gonna hear from you.
Thank you for calling.
- Yeah, turn your camera
on so I see you're real.
- Oh yeah, one second.
Hey, this is me.
I'm a Sergeant First
class at a base in Turkey.
- Yeah, Yeah, I
remember that shit.
Not much different here.
So what's up?
- Yeah, okay.
- Not much time.
- So many questions.
So, so happened to your son?
- You know what happened to him.
I tried to save him, tried to
get that monster out of him,
but it was too late.
There was nothing left
of Chuck to be saved.
- And the court
didn't believe you?
- Of course not.
Look at yourself.
You think you're gonna wake
up from this shitty nightmare,
but it ain't no nightmare.
It's real.
- I know it got my son.
- Yeah, I know.
I saw the symptoms.
Only eating cucumbers,
surrounded by insects,
attracts to fresh water.
It's the same thing
that possessed Chuck.
- But why Kyle?
Why, why him?
- I think this thing
feels trapped in
his own homeland.
You ain't got notime for no
bullshit man.
Your Kyle might not
be there anymore,
and you need to
be ready for that.
But when I realized there
was no Cruck inside anymore,
I just burnt everything
to the ground.
You understand, soldier?
If everything fails,
plan C never hurts.
All right, look, listen,
I gotta go.

- Hey dude.
Breaking news from Japan.
Typhoon is coming,
which means we need to do
it before it hits the coast.
- Shit.
- So I'm going now.
- Shit.
What?
Just, just can you
wait till I get there?
I, I'll, I'll, I'll,
I'll take leave.
Fuck permission.
I'll, I'll be there tomorrow.
- First off, no
flights are gonna land
with the typhoon coming in.
And second, you can
be court-martialed
and brought up in charges.
Dude, don't worry, I got this.
- How long is this
supposed to last?
- Typhoon?
Heavy rains,
hurricane like winds.
I don't, I don't know.
It could be a few days,
but I don't think we
have that kind of time.
I'm going tonight.
Like what the monk said,
we need to hurry.
So what do you
want, call it off?
- A few days is too long.
- Okay then.
Don't worry, I got this.
I'll be in and out
before the typhoons here.
And don't forget, I have guns
and I got these,
look fully equipped.
I can stream the whole
thing in real time.
You can see everything live.
You can even advise me,
but just not too much, okay?
So am I green lit for tonight?
- Fuck.
Go for it.
- Yes, sir.
The job will be done.
Then you can come here
and we can celebrate.
- Don't touch that thing and,
and don't let it touch
you either, you hear me?
- Wait, you are worried I'm
gonna turn you into a Kappa
and eat you alive?
- Yeah, maybe.
- Oh man.
- How do I get these
goggle thingies to work?
- You are gonna need an app.
I'll send you the link and
then you just download it.
(message dings)
And check out my gun, man.
Dude, this thing was
hard to get here.
Nothing's gonna stop us, man.
We got this.
It's gonna be really easy.

- Babe, look, I, I don't, I
don't wanna start a fight,
but I don't think you
should be drinking.
Okay, take it easy.
- Come on Jack.
- We need you.
- You know, Jack,
I need to, to unwind--

Just, just for a little longer.
- So I'm unwinding.

Look, I, I, I, I'm gonna

Just, just hold on for a

We'll go home together.

Meanwhile, the boy
is being rushed to hospital.
His father has been
taken into custody.
The charges are not yet clear.
- I didn't do anything,
I didn't do anything.
I need to save my boy.
I can't lose another
fucking child.
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
It's this fucking thing, okay.
It's this fucking thing.
I didn't do anything.
- Did your father tell you
to set up those devices?
- No.
Well, I mean, yes, but
he, he told me to do it
after I had already
done it myself.
- So he sort of had a plan
to do this, didn't he?
Your son served two tours
in the Iraq war, correct?
- Yes, correct.
- Did the war change
him in any way?
- War changes people.
He, he came back more cautious,
older,
but he's always been a
good husband to Hannah
and a good father to his sons--
- [Attorney] Didn't he
have a drinking problem
when he returned?
- [Jack's Mother] Who didn't?
He turned his life around.
He settled down and
he started a family.
He's a good man.
- How would you describe
your relationship
with your father, Steven?
- We're very close.
He's a good dad.
I can tell him anything.
He's a role model.
- Would he ever do anything
to harm you or your brother?
- Never.
He just tries to protect us.
That's all he ever tried to do.
- [Attorney] Has your father
ever tried to harm you before?
Before this incident?
- No.
- [Attorney] How do you feel
about your father, Kyle?
Don't worry.
Tell us what you think.
You're safe here.
- [Kyle] I love him.
He's my hero.

- I, I don't know.
Seriously, we,
we were all hanging
around the same spot.
I was playing catch with
a couple friends, and
the younger kids were hunting
for water bugs with their nets
and Kyle was just,
was just gone.
Everybody was screaming.
- Your mom,
why is she not
answering her phone?
- She--
(nurse speaking Japanese)
- Okay.
(nurse speaking Japanese)
- Sorry, one sec.
Yeah, yeah, why isn't
mom answering her phone?
'Cause they won't allow phones
inside the damn hospital.
- Hey, watch your language.
Easy.
- Sorry.
- So how's Kyle doing now?
- The doctor's saying
he's gonna be fine.
It's good that we had
Eureko there with us.
- Who's that?
- She's mom's friend.
She's a nurse.
She helped save Kyle.
Oh, dad, mom's calling.
I gotta run.

Yes.
That's, that's much better.
- [Hannah] You're welcome.
Enjoy the Japanese countryside.
- [Jack] What'd you
pick up at the store?
- [Hannah] Just different
things for the party.
I'm gonna make
burgers and hot dogs.
Also got some cucumbers.
- What is up with his love
of cucumbers these days?
- [Hannah] Yeah, I don't know,
but at least it's not junk food.
That's gotta be good.
- Yeah, still such a
weird change in taste.
- [Hannah] Cucumbers
were the only food
in the hospital he liked.
They served white rice,
miso soup, tofu, natto,
I mean healthy.
But for a kid, you know.
- Natto, ugh.
God, I could never
get over the smell.
- Your palate is
underdeveloped so
you wouldn't understand
how good natto is.
- Hey mom.
- Hey,
can you help me with this stuff?
- Hey Steve.
- There's a lot for the party.
- Dad, hi.
Uh, yeah, take those.
- Oh shit.
- Oh.
Language.
- Language.
- Sorry.
- Hey, buddy.
- [Hannah] Hey, hey,
hey, come back here.
We need to wash those first.
Do not even think about it.
Give me that.
- What's up with him?
- Well, he's been,
he's been really quiet lately.
Hopefully the party
will cheer him up.
- Yeah.
You know, you shouldn't
have to go to the store
all by yourself.
- I know Steve wanted to come,
but I didn't want
him to stay home
and I'm not gonna
leave him alone.
- Show me what they're doing.
What's he got?
- [Steve] Dude, dude.
(dark music)
- [Kyle] My frog.
Get away from him.
(Kyle screeching)
(dark music)
- Hey, guys.
Calm down, stop fighting.
It's just a frog.
- [Kyle] My frog.
Get away from him.
Give him.
- I was just looking.
(Kyle yelling)
Can you just,
He just fucking bit me.
- [Jack] Language.
- [Steve] Look at.
(Kyle shouting)
- What happened?
What'd you say to him?
- [Steve] I didn't say anything.
This is how bad--

- Kyle is dealing with
a traumatic experience.
Plus, he's entering adolescence,
which makes things
more difficult.
A lot of parents go
through this with critique.
- Yeah, but my concern is
he's not getting any better.
I mean, he bit his brother
in front of my own eyes.
He's never been violent before.
- Right.
From what you told me,
I understand his brother
was trying to take
something away from him.
Kids, especially
boys of Kyle's age,
would get angry even
without any traumas.
Also, your wife mentioned
that she was thinking
of taking the boys
back to the states soon.
I strongly recommend
it against that.
Putting Kyle through a
long flight right now--
- And how do I know you're
not just saying that
so you can charge us
for more sessions?
- Mr. Reynolds, no,
I'm saying that because
it's in your son's
best interest.
Kyle just need some time.
- Time, how long?
- You need to be
patient, Mr. Reynolds.
That's what we've
been working on.

felt when you were drowning.

trying to get everything--
- He's sleeping a lot, huh?
- [Hannah] He wakes up.
Let him sleep.
- Wait, wait.
Oh, look what I just got.
All right.
Go inside, go to the door.
My present for
Kyle just arrived.
- How do you know?
- Huh, how do I?
I have magical powers.
- Oh my God.
(doorbell ringing)
You're stalking the guy.
- Go.
- Instead of working,
you're stalking delivery people.
- Yeah.
Wait, Kyle,
(uneasy music)
- Ta-da.
- Kyle's awake already, I think.
- [Hannah] What?
Wait, what, where?
(doorbell ringing)
- He was on the stairs.
- [Hannah] Who is that now?
(message dings)
(mouse clicking)
(uneasy music)
(delivery person
speaking Japanese)
- [Hannah] Is this from you?
No, you were just delivering.
Okay.
Thought it was weird.
(uneasy music continues)
Or a stranger and
everything, I dunno.
Okay.
Do I need to sign twice
because there's two things.
Okay.
That's it?
Are you gonna help
me carry them inside?
(delivery person
speaking Japanese)
- [Hannah] Thank you.
(uneasy music continues)
- Hey.
I didn't know that Kyle
understands Japanese.
- What?
He doesn't.
Where's your present?
- I told you he's
already awake, but
show me what the guy delivered.
Let me see.
(uneasy music continues)
- Look.
I've gotta put it away.
Aye, aye, aye.
And what's this one?
- Well, there's only
one way to find out.
Yeah, you like 'em?
- This is amazing.
- Miss you too, love you.
- [Steve] Kyle, come on,
you're unfolding it wrong.
- Well, good morning,
good morning.
- Good morning everyone.
(audio distorting)
- [Hannah] Happy birthday Kyle.
Say hi to your father.
- Hi, happy birthday
(audio distorting)
- Come on.
Dad, this is a
super cool present.
Can, can Kyle and I go fly it?
- Hold on, we gotta make sure
that we know how it works first.
Kyle,
Kyle?
(audio distorting)
What do you think, man?
You like your present?
Need some help?
- No thanks, I got this.
- He's got it.
- All right, wait.
Show me what he's doing
over there please?
- [Hannah] Yeah.
(audio garbles)
I think the kids
have had enough.
(audio garbles)
- All right, you
wanna go fly it?
- No.
Look--
- Let's go.
- Hold on, wait a
second, I wanna come.
Hold on.
Whoa.
Come on.
- Hey dad, sorry.
I'll go catch up and
you can see everything.
- Oh.
- Oh, I lost him.
- [Jack] Look around the lake.
- All right, I'll try that.
(footsteps tapping)
Hey Kyle, Kyle wait up.
I got the phone.
(rain pattering)
Hey dad, can you wait one sec?
I'm gonna turn the
camera off real quick.
- Hey,
I, I don't know about
this, all right.
I don't think we should be
messing with mom's phone.
It's gonna break.
- [Steve] Alright, now don't
go too high with it though.
- [Kyle] I won't.
- Hey,
no, no, no, no, no, no.
Hey guys, guys,
guys, cut it out.
(drone buzzing)
- [Steve] Kyle, try
not to go too high.
- [Kyle] It's okay.
(uneasy music)
(drone buzzing)
(uneasy music continues)
- [Steve] Oh shit,
it's gonna crash.
- [Jack] Let it crash.
- [Steve] Wait, wait, Kyle.
- No.

- Hey!
- What are you doing?
- [Jack] Yo, what are you doing?
Stop it.

I can't let him hear this.
Okay.
So in, in the Airbnb
we're staying in,
there's this baby monitor.
- Why didn't you
tell me this before?
- 'Cause there was
nothing to tell.
It's all good.
But I haven't checked the

We are wasting our time.
- What are you talking about?
He just needs--
- Time,
time, time, time, time.
Always time.
We don't have any more time.
There's something wrong--
- You know what,
stop right there.
No, enough, enough, enough.
I know this has been
hard for all of us.
I get that.
But I'm in here alone.
Me.
I'm dealing with the accident.
I'm dealing with the aftermath,
and doing the best I
can, for Christ sakes.
Alone.
I don't wanna fight with you.
Can't we just talk
when you've calmed down.

- The base is on lockdown.
We've been doing
security drills.
What, what, what's going on?
- Jack, Steve's disappeared.
I, I'm, I don't
know where he is.
- What?
- He was--
- What do you mean
he's disappeared?
- He's disappeared.
He was home last night
and now he's not.
And I, I, I called,
his phone's off.
Or it's, the battery's dead.
I don't know.
- Okay, all right.
Well, is he with his friends?
Did he have any plans.
- I don' t know.I'm at the
police station now, so.
- Where's Kyle?
- He's fine.
He's with Eureko, bye-bye.
- Alright, look.
Just, just stay calm.
- Okay, I'm--
- Steve's a smart kid.
I'm sure it's just a--
- I'm, I'm gonna call you back.

- [Steve] It wasn't on purpose.
- I know it wasn't, but Steve,
you gotta use your head.
Look, I know you're cooped up.
You, you want to get out at
night, play with your friends.
All you're doing right now
is you're stressing out your mom
and you're stressing out me.
- You have to tell
me where you go.
- I know, I know.
- I'm not holding
you prisoner here,
but you're still a kid.
- [Jack] And, and remember,
you're in a foreign country.
You don't even
speak the language.
- Okay, look, I'm, I'm sorry.
Next time I will try
to be more careful
and informative, okay?
And I seriously do not mean
to freak anybody out, okay?
- Okay.
Well, I hope we can believe you.
- Yeah, me too.
- Can I go to my room?
- Yeah.
- Dad, hold on.
- Okay.
Did you see them?
- That was wild.
So those kids was
Kyle among them?
- I don't, I don't know.
I lost 'em on the
way to the lake and
yeah, I don't know if
they were kids though.
They, they were strange and
I, I didn't follow them.
So maybe he wasn't
with them at all.
Maybe they were a
night swimming team.
- Yeah, Steve, look
what you did was very brave.
But you cannot do anything
like that ever again.
Not unless you
have my permission.
Okay?
- I know.
- All right, good.
So look, I need you to set up
some more cameras.
I'm sending you the devices.
They're gonna be
really easy to set up.
Once we have a little
more evidence, then,
then I'll be ready
to show Hannah.
- No, dad, please, please don't
show anything to mom, okay?
Just don't.
- Why?
- She's, she's been really
stressed out lately.
I don't, I don't think
she could handle it.
- What are you talking about?
Steve?
What's going on?
Steve?
Talk to me.
- Dad, she,
I think she's
taking pills again.
- You saw her?
You saw her take them?
- No.
- All right, look, I'll,
I'll talk to her, okay?
- Please don't tell
her I told you.
- No, no, no, no, no,
no, of course not.
Look, one more thing,
I'm gonna send you
some help, okay?
Do you remember that guy, Ryan,
that I served in
Okinawa with him?
- Okay.
- He's still in Japan.
He's actually not that far.
- Yeah, I remember him.
He used to crush beer
cans with his forehead.
- Yeah, that's the guy.
Anyway, look, he's
gonna be there soon,
so just hang tight
until then, okay?
- Yes sir.
- I love you buddy.
- I love you too.
(gentle music)
Goddamn pills again.
(video call ringing)
- I just landed, bro.
Woo.
Oh man, it's been ages since
I've been back to Tokyo.
- [Jack] How are you?
- I'm good.
Question is, how are
you and how's Kyle?
- I'm fine, Kyle's the same.
I don't know, maybe worse.
You get the money I sent you?
- You didn't have
to do that, Jack.
- Yes I did soldier.
- Well, I looked at
what you sent me.
It's weird, but
we'll figure it out.
No worries, okay?
- Yeah.
I mean, I know I
could be overreacting.
I could be going crazy, but
I just need somebody who can
check on my family, you know.
Somebody who's actually
there, close by.
Somebody that I trust, a friend.
- I'll do whatever you
need me to do, bro.
You know that.
Don't worry.
There's always an explanation.
Remember Joe from Iraq
was acting all weird
and then he got diagnosed
with meningitis.
- Joe?
Joe was weird before
he got meningitis.
- That's true.
- Yeah, I don't know.
I mean, Kyle got
checked out the hospital
after the accident.
I don't think it's a,
I don't think it's an infection.
- Okay, then maybe it's
some spiritual shit,
like Ghostbusters.
Who are you gonna call?
- Funny.
- Sorry man.
Remember in the night
stalker in Baghdad?
He was a phantom.
He was standing there one
second, gone the next.
Nobody believed in him until
the body started turning up.
You saw him, remember?
- Yeah, look, why don't
you get some rest?
You know, get some sleep.
Call me later, okay?
- Alright.
It won't be long.
- Thanks for this, bro.
- [Ryan] Anytime, bro.
Over.

What's up?
That's, that's cool.
What is that?

- A lava lamp.
- Cool.
Where'd you get it?
- Friend.
- Cool.
Who's a friend?
- [Hannah] Kyle, sweetie.
Who are you talking to?
(cucumber crunching)
- [Jack] Kyle, your
mom's calling for you.
Answer her.
(audio distorting)
(tense music)
- Jack, can you calm down?
It's the Japanese countryside.
It's humid.
Insects--
- Hannah, Hannah,
the thing, it was crawling
all down his neck.
- I doubt it was
crawling on his neck.
- Can't you see
what is going on?
Open your eyes.
- I see you freaking
out because an insect
was on your son.
- Where is he?
Where is he right now?
Where is he?
- He's in the garden
watering the plants.
Don't speak to me like that.
- Look, I can't,
that, that's it, goodbye.
(tense music)
(messages dinging)
(video call ringing)
- At least you got a
glass of rocky out of it.
- Yeah.
- Let's think out of the box.
I have an idea.
I know a Buddhist monk.
I'm gonna contact him.
You know, maybe Kyle's under
the influence of a sect.
It's possible.
- Yeah, sure, why not?
- Also, I'm gonna set these up
around the place where
the accident happened.
See if anything shows up.
- Yeah, alright.
Sounds like a plan.
Wait, hold on a second.
(video call ringing)
Hannah's calling,
I'll call you back.
- [Ryan] All right, later bro.
- Hey babe, what's up?
- Hey Jack, we have to go.
- What?
What do you mean?
The doctor said the opposite.
- Something wrong,
I'm going absolutely crazy.
I'm exhausted, and
at least if we go,
I'll have some help.
Can you hear--
- No!
- Can you hear that?
He wants to go too.
- I want to go home.
I wanna go home.
- No, no, no, no, no.
Look, I,
I already filed leave.
Just, just wait
till I get there.
I, I was looking forward to,
you know, seeing you guys,
this is our first trip
since moving to the States.
- Jack, I,
(audio garbles)
and I almost lost another child.
This is my fault and I
just want to take care
of a living son.
- No, no, no, it's
not your fault.
It's nobody's fault.
Take it easy.
Look, you're an amazing woman,
incredible mother,
wonderful wife.
It's all gonna be fine, okay?
I promise.
All right, lemme talk to Kyle.
- [Kyle] I wanna go home!
I wanna go home!
- Hey buddy.
- Dad.
(Kyle screaming)
- Hey, so I know you don't
wanna stay in Yamanachi,
that's fine.
Get a hotel room
in Tokyo or Osaka.
Universal Studios.
They, they have the Spiderman.
(Kyle screaming)
(dark music)
(Kyle screaming)
- Fuck.
(uneasy music)

(uneasy music)
(uneasy music continues)
(uneasy music continues)
All right, I see him.
(gentle music)
(uneasy music)
(uneasy music continues)
(uneasy music continues)
- Will you just show him
the security camera
footage already?
Come on, it's the first thing.
- [Ryan] Alright, chill out.
(Ryan speaking Japanese)
- What is it?
(monk speaking Japanese)
- [Ryan] He says it's Kappa,
the keeper of lakes,
rivers, and ponds.
- Keeper?
- An ancient species.
People think that
they're mythical, but
he claims that they're
more than real.
Hey Jack, check this out.
- Dude, I can't see that.
- Alright, I'll send
you a photo later.
- Does your son have a
sudden love for cucumbers?
- Yes, cucumbers.
He, he loves cucumbers
all of a sudden
- Those are Kappa's
favorite food.
But still, something
is not right.
Kappas usually kill children,
and sometimes adults.
It is not common that one
gets possessed by a Kappa.
- So, so what does he want?
I mean, how do we get
the Kappa out of my son?
- Actually,
you know,
there was a case
about 15 years ago,
a brother from another
temple dealt with that.
- What kind of case?
- American came to the temple
with a similar problem.
His son seemed to be
controlled by a Kappa.
- [Jack] What happened?
I mean, was he able
to help the boy?
Who's the monk?
Can we talk to him?
- Unfortunately, he passed
away five years ago.
- But what was he
able to help him?
- It wasn't my case.
And he never returned.
I assume he succeeded.
And you need to hurry.
The longer you wait,
the more danger for your son.
- You, you mean my
son will be killed?
(dark music)
- The Kappa will
swallow the boy's soul.
Then it will be
impossible to save him.
- All right, all right,
don't worry,
we won't be long.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
Thank you much.
(Jack speaking Japanese)
(strange music)
(strange music continues)
(strange music continues)
(message dings)
- Look at all this, Jack.
I mean, if these are all real,
we're gonna have to call the
Winchester brothers for help.
And here's our friend.
You see the hollow on
the top of the head?
It's filled with water.
If it dries out, the
couple will lose its power,
might even die.
But the good thing is
it can be killed
with any firearm.
Correct?
And I definitely have something
that meets this requirement.
(strange music)

- I am stating for the record,
that yes, my son, Chuck Gray,
whom I love with all
my heart and soul,
was possessed.
- [Interviewer] By, by what?
- Something had
taken control of him.
- [Interviewer] When did
this possession begin?
- We were having a good time
taking pictures and sightseeing
and during his summer break.
And I wanted to show him
where I was stationed
during my service.
And everything was
going great until
we went to the
lake in Yamanashi.
That's where it happened.
(strange music continues)
- I told Mr. Gray
that his son was okay
and that exorcism was
out of the question.
But he kept insisting,
saying his son was possessed.
I told him I couldn't help him
and that he should
seek psychiatric help.
He left angry.
- [Reporter] The man was
arrested today in Tokyo suburbs.
The body was found charred.
It seems the father
set the child on fire.
- So this level of dehydration
doesn't happen in
minutes or hours.
This was a long
and painful death.

- Hey, what's up?
- [Jack] Hey.
- [Ryan] So I managed
to get a rifle
and I found a pair of
night vision goggles
from Okinawa on eBay.
The monk said it's
better go at night
'cause these things
are night animals.
- Can you get another set?
- Goggles?
I don't know, why?
- Because my leaves gonna
come through any minute.
I wanna go with you.
- Lemme see what I can do.
- Oh, and
remember that case the
monk was mentioning
the American from like
15 years ago or whatever?
- Yeah.
- Well, I did a little digging
and I got some information.
A guy did like an exorcism
on his son or something.
I was thinking about,
I know it's a shot in the dark,
but maybe reaching out to him,
seeing if he could, I don't
know, tell us something.
- Did he manage to get
that thing out of his kid?
- The kid died.
Guy's doing a life
sentence in Arizona.
- Oh shit.
They why do you
wanna contact him?
- I don't know. Maybe he could
give us
some advice or something.
(Ryan chuckles)
- On how to get your kid killed?
Sorry bro, I don't think
we need advice from a guy
who murdered his own son.
(message dings)
Look, I gotta go.

I wasn't sure I was

Thank you for calling.
- Yeah, turn your camera
on so I see you're real.
- Oh yeah, one second.
Hey, this is me.
I'm a Sergeant First
class at a base in Turkey.
- Yeah, Yeah, I
remember that shit.
Not much different here.
So what's up?
- Yeah, okay.
- Not much time.
- So many questions.
So, so happened to your son?
- You know what happened to him.
I tried to save him, tried to
get that monster out of him,
but it was too late.
There was nothing left
of Chuck to be saved.
- And the court
didn't believe you?
- Of course not.
Look at yourself.
You think you're gonna wake
up from this shitty nightmare,
but it ain't no nightmare.
It's real.
- I know it got my son.
- Yeah, I know.
I saw the symptoms.
Only eating cucumbers,
surrounded by insects,
attracts to fresh water.
It's the same thing
that possessed Chuck.
- But why Kyle?
Why, why him?
- I think this thing
feels trapped in
his own homeland.
You ain't got notime for no
bullshit man.
Your Kyle might not
be there anymore,
and you need to
be ready for that.
But when I realized there
was no Cruck inside anymore,
I just burnt everything
to the ground.
You understand, soldier?
If everything fails,
plan C never hurts.
All right, look, listen,

- Hey dude.
Breaking news from Japan.
Typhoon is coming,
which means we need to do
it before it hits the coast.
- Shit.
- So I'm going now.
- Shit.
What?
Just, just can you
wait till I get there?
I, I'll, I'll, I'll,
I'll take leave.
Fuck permission.
I'll, I'll be there tomorrow.
- First off, no
flights are gonna land
with the typhoon coming in.
And second, you can
be court-martialed
and brought up in charges.
Dude, don't worry, I got this.
- How long is this
supposed to last?
- Typhoon?
Heavy rains,
hurricane like winds.
I don't, I don't know.
It could be a few days,
but I don't think we
have that kind of time.
I'm going tonight.
Like what the monk said,
we need to hurry.
So what do you
want, call it off?
- A few days is too long.
- Okay then.
Don't worry, I got this.
I'll be in and out
before the typhoons here.
And don't forget, I have guns
and I got these,
look fully equipped.
I can stream the whole
thing in real time.
You can see everything live.
You can even advise me,
but just not too much, okay?
So am I green lit for tonight?
- Fuck.
Go for it.
- Yes, sir.
The job will be done.
Then you can come here
and we can celebrate.
- Don't touch that thing and,
and don't let it touch
you either, you hear me?
- Wait, you are worried I'm
gonna turn you into a Kappa
and eat you alive?
- Yeah, maybe.
- Oh man.
- How do I get these
goggle thingies to work?
- You are gonna need an app.
I'll send you the link and
then you just download it.
(message dings)
And check out my gun, man.
Dude, this thing was
hard to get here.
Nothing's gonna stop us, man.
We got this.
It's gonna be really easy.
Trust me.
- Just, just be
careful, all right.
- We got this.

Okay, take it easy.

Meanwhile, the boy
is being rushed to hospital.
His father has been
taken into custody.
The charges are not yet clear.
- I didn't do anything,
I didn't do anything.
I need to save my boy.
I can't lose another
fucking child.
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
It's this fucking thing, okay.
It's this fucking thing.
I didn't do anything.
- Did your father tell you
to set up those devices?
- No.
Well, I mean, yes, but
he, he told me to do it
after I had already
done it myself.
- So he sort of had a plan
to do this, didn't he?
Your son served two tours
in the Iraq war, correct?
- Yes, correct.
- Did the war change
him in any way?
- War changes people.
He, he came back more cautious,
older,
but he's always been a
good husband to Hannah
and a good father to his sons--
- [Attorney] Didn't he
have a drinking problem
when he returned?
- [Jack's Mother] Who didn't?
He turned his life around.
He settled down and
he started a family.
He's a good man.
- How would you describe
your relationship
with your father, Steven?
- We're very close.
He's a good dad.
I can tell him anything.
He's a role model.
- Would he ever do anything
to harm you or your brother?
- Never.
He just tries to protect us.
That's all he ever tried to do.
- [Attorney] Has your father
ever tried to harm you before?
Before this incident?
- No.
- [Attorney] How do you feel
about your father, Kyle?
Don't worry.
Tell us what you think.
You're safe here.
- [Kyle] I love him.
He's my hero.
