- Jess? - Yeah.
I'm sorry I'm calling so late.
It's OK.
Is everything all right? Yeah.
Yeah, I'm fine, I just, um I don't even know why I called.
I think I'm just overworked and overtired.
Probably from all the travel.
I get it, sweetheart.
You know, I never told you this, but I had terrible anxiety when I was your age.
Sometimes it was so bad, I mean, I couldn't even get out of bed and face the day.
I hope that's not happening to you.
Are you are you sure you're OK? Yeah, I'm fine, I just I keep having this bad dream.
Would you like to talk about it? Jess? Are you there? Yeah.
Yeah.
Um I say that because sometimes nightmares are just nightmares.
But sometimes they feel so real they spill over into the daytime.
You don't want that.
You know, I can come over if you want.
Mom, I'm like five hours away.
So? [LAUGHS.]
So I'm I'm fine.
[CHUCKLES.]
I think I just needed to hear a comforting voice.
- I love you.
- I love you too, baby.
- Bye, Mom.
- Hey, wait.
What? I'm just getting this bad energy from your side of the phone, like there's something lurking around you or something.
Something not quite right.
Something that might be after you, Jess.

It It's locked.
Of course it is.
Why didn't you try the key? The key? Yes.
Jess, are you OK? No.
No, wait.
The The key is how you get in.

WOMAN: 911.
What's your emergency? Hi.
I'm I'm at the motel off the parkway.
Can you please send someone? What's your emergency? I think that there's someone or something in my room that's trying to harm me.
- Room number? - 104.
Please stay on the line while I dispatch someone to your room.
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
The only other thing is that Yes? I keep having this dream, and and I I honestly don't know what's real and what's not.
I don't even know if this is really happening right now.
I'm a 911 operator and this is definitely real.
I've dispatched a black and white and they should be there in under seven minutes.
Until then, can you tell if you're in any immediate danger? I don't think so.
And do you know the whereabouts of your assailant? No, I I don't see him right now.
Good.
What about the man with the knife? No, I can't see How did you know about him? I didn't say anything about a man with a knife.
[911 OPERATOR LAUGHING.]
[HISSING.]
[HISSING CONTINUES.]
[JESS SCREAMING.]
[WHIMPERING.]
[PANTING LOUDLY.]
[SLICING SOUND.]
[WHIMPERS.]
[GASPS.]
[YAWNS.]
[PANTING.]
Look out! [YELPS.]
- No! - [SLICING.]
'Sup, dude.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
You can put that thing down.
What are you so afraid of? This? This is all you.
You know that, right? I mean, you're in control here.
You brought us all into this hotel room with you I think because you wanted us all here.
- I want to go home.
- Really? Yes.
Then go home.
Just go.
I can't.
They're all out there.
Well, they're out there because you put them out there.
If you want 'em to go away, just make 'em go away.
I tried that.
It doesn't work.
Did you really try? 'Cause I think you actually want us here.
I think you brought us here because you need us here.
Why would I need you here? Because without us, then you'd have to face what's out there.
In the real world.
In the truly terrifying daylight.
It's much easier to face us than to face yourself.
I like it in here.
In the warm bath, with you, all of our friends.
In the cover of night.
You're just trying to scare me.
- Is that so? - Uh-huh.
Because I think you're already scared.
No.
I'm not gonna fall for that.
I'm getting the fuck outta here.
Well, good luck to you then.
Allow me.
