Dr.
Sampson can't come up with some-some miracle, then we have to end it.
We have to finish this now! - [Rachel.]
This is deranged.
- [Don.]
We've reached the end.
It's not deranged, Rachel! It's not deranged! You tell that to all the people that she's hurt.
Why don't you tell Mitchel? Why don't you tell that young boy's family? This is sick.
They're our girls.
They're a threat, Rachel.
They're a threat.
It's already on record that Lanie is unwell.
Dr.
Sampson, she's confirmed that Lanie passed it on to Laura.
The death certificates are ready.
Just say it.
Okay.
The day will come when they will kill us.
They'll kill us both.
And then they're gonna kill many more people.
They have to die, Rachel.
[Rachel crying.]
[Don.]
Rachel.
They'll kill us.
We have to do this.
[Young Lanie.]
Am I not normal? [Rachel and Don gasping.]
[Dr.
Sampson.]
What do you mean, hon? [Young Lanie.]
I'm not allowed to play with the other kids.
My parents get scared when I'm mad.
They always keep me inside.
Something's wrong with me.
[Don.]
Lanie.
You need to do your repetitions.
Please, don't.
- My whole life - [Don.]
Lanie, please.
You took away my interests.
My hobbies.
Shut me up inside.
I couldn't even look at you a certain way without being punished for it.
- [Rachel.]
Lanie, you don't understand! - You left me with nothing.
[Rachel.]
Let him go! No hope.
No dreams.
- No sanity.
- [Rachel.]
No, please.
Please.
No.
Ah No love.
- Ah! - [Rachel.]
No! And you wonder why I am so full of hate.
Laura is just a little girl.
- Please.
- She can't defend herself.
- [Don mumbling.]
- She can't speak out for herself.
She can't fight for herself.
No, Lanie.
No! [Lanie.]
You make me so sick! I am her mother.
And I will protect her.
And I will make you suffer.
- No! Lanie, no! He's your father.
No! - [gagging.]
[bone cracking.]
I have no father.
Mom Where's my daughter? [Laura crying.]
Shush.
[Laura crying continues.]
[crying through baby monitor.]
[Laura crying.]
[gas hissing.]
- [Lanie.]
Give her to me.
- [Rachel.]
It's gonna be okay.
Just drink up.
Go away, go away.
Give me my daughter.
Give me my daughter.
[Rachel.]
I just wanted a family.
You made sure that I would never feel that life inside me again.
[no audible dialogue.]
[Young Lanie laughing.]
[no audible dialogue.]
[Young Lanie laughing.]
You know, you'll have to take on some new responsibilities.
It won't just be us anymore, hon.
And if I don't want to? Well, that'll be hard.
But you can't always get what you want.
Don't be like that, Lanie.
No.
Lanie.
Stop! Please, stop.
Lanie, stop! Stop it.
No.
Lanie! No! [groans.]
Don! No.
No! - No! - [splattering.]
Now, it'll just be me, you and daddy.
Forever.
You're not capable of real love, Lanie.
You hurt people.
You never gave me a chance.
We couldn't.
[Laura crying.]
Oh.
You won't understand the things that I will do to you if you do not give me my daughter right now.
Okay, okay, okay.
She's yours.
I'm passing her off.
She's yours.
She's all yours.
Hi.
Momma's here.
[Laura coughs, gags.]
What's wrong with her? - What did you give her? - [Laura gagging continues.]
She's more like you than we hoped.
I'm sorry.
The nightshade acts quickly.
Please.
No.
Please, Laura.
[Lanie.]
Please, no.
Please, no.
Please.
Laura, wake up.

Saw you smiling at me at school.
What, you like my new jacket or something? You think it's cute? It's not illegal to like it.
It's a good-looking jacket.
Answer me when I speak to you.
Get your hand off me.
The freak doesn't like it.
- Aw.
- But it must be something 'cause you were staring at me.
I was smiling because I was thinking about your dead friend.
- What did you say? - You heard me.
Ah.

Guys, get off him! Ah, ah.
"For Thee who makest me, I shall come.
