Anomaly

Everything is ready.

She's here.

Hello.

Welcome. Please, have a seat.

I'm Robert Baez.

This is Rachel Harris.

We're going to be here for a while.

Care for some coffee?

I'm okay. Thank you.

As you know,

Ms. Harris is one of the top book writers in the country.

She will be very specific about her questions.

Please respond with the most accurate

information you have.

So you're claiming to know the story

- about the Hagen family? - Yes.

Do you have any valuable sources

to collaborate to your story?

'Cause I don't play games

and if you're here just for the money,

you can go somewhere else.

I'm not here for the money.

I'm just here to share the story.

Okay, then start.

- From where? - From the very beginning.

It all started after Cindy's mother passed away.

And how did the mother pass away?

One year before her death,

she was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Richard and his kids

were devastated by that loss.

He was depressed for a pretty long time.

Two years passed and he figured that Cindy and Tommy

needed him to get back up on his feet.

So he found a new love and decided to move on.

What are you thinking about?

I'm so happy we finally got our own place.

It's small, but we can do whatever we want now.

Yeah, but I was thinking, wouldn't you get lonely?

I mean, your kids are gone so fast

and I think it's time to put that baby maker to use.

Really? You already have two kids of your own.

I have two of my own. I want one with you.

I know, I'm...

I'm their step-mom. I'm fine with what we have.

Step-mother... Soon to be their mother.

But seriously, though, I hope she doesn't think I'm replacing her mom.

She's not gonna think you're taking over for her mom.

I'm sure she just misses her.

We all do.

I guess summer vacation's almost over.

My mom's already asking when we're gonna go pick 'em up.

Oh, we have to go school shopping for the kids

and Tommy said he needs a new backpack.

What? Honey, we're already over budget for the house as it is.

We can afford a backpack.

Turn this up. I don't want to miss this part.

Tell me about the house.

They bought this house without knowing the background of it.

And I don't know.

There's just something really strange about that house.

This place needs a paint job.

Yeah, I know.

What are you gonna do with that piano?

I don't know. Maybe we'll keep it.

I mean, Cindy will make good use of this.

No, it's a waste of space.

Just put it in the shed.

But right now, first thing's first...

clean up this mess.

Yes, let's do this.

This is our fifth night, honey.

You picked the perfect house.

I just can't believe they sold it to me for so cheap.

I can't wait for the kids to see it.

I can't wait for the kids to tear it apart

more than it already is.

It's gonna take us a little while to get used to it...

but it's okay, right?

Sure, honey, we'll be okay.

Yeah.

What is that?

It's probably crickets outside, getting it on.

You would, though.

Their first nights at the house were magical.

Everything was perfect.

- Hello? - What's up, Paige?

- Hey, hun. - What's going on?

Nothing much. How are you?

Oh, you didn't have to do that.

Wait, you have a boyfriend?

Yeah, please don't tell dad.

Don't worry. I love secrets.

I won't tell him.

Okay, I tried to call dad, but he didn't pick up.

- Is he there? - No, he's at work.

- How's Tommy? - Stop!

He's fine, making my life miserable as always.

Don't say that.

Stop! I'm telling you to stop.

So how's the new place?

- It's great. - Cool.

It needs some renovations, but you guys are gonna like it.

Sounds so awesome.

Um, we are so ready to go.

All right, we'll be there Saturday, okay?

So get your things together.

- Okay, I will. Bye. - Bye.

All right, Paige.

You wanted to be a mother.

Let's do this.

Hello?

Hello.

Shh. Silence.

When did Cindy and Tommy appear in the story?

They were on vacation with their grandmother.

They moved in a week or two after.

- Come here. - Come on.

So what do you think?

It's nice here. I like it.

- Can you show me my room? - Of course.

Yeah.

Here, I'll show you your room.

It's so cute. You're gonna love it.

- -I got you new sheets and I laid them out...

Wow, this is cool.

Hey!

You play so well.

I still need some practice, but I really love this piano.

- Let me show you to your room. - Okay.

So this is your room.

It's small, but I think it's nice.

It's nice.

I like it.

- Hey, Paige... - Yeah?

Thank you for being so kind to me.

Of course.

So how was your grandma's house?

Well, we did all sorts of things.

We were on top of this tree

and we jumped off. It was a lot of fun.

Did you hurt yourself like last time?

- Yeah. - Come on, you got this.

Here! Whoo!

- Go long. - Hey, can I join you guys?

Yeah, you know what? Come over here, take my place.

I need a drink.

Let's go, mom.

Think fast! Think fast!

All right, I'll try.

All right, Tommy.

Here you go.

- Come on... - Ohh!

Good catch. Good catch. Throw it back.

All right, all right. Bring it in, bring it in.

- - You guys were playing without me?

- That's so messed up. - Welcome home, guys.

Our new home.

So far, they haven't experienced

any weird activities in the house.

When exactly did that start?

See... this is very different from any movie.

If you move into a house infected by demons...

Don't expect... to get approached by them

on your first nights in the house.

First they make you feel comfortable...

then they attack.

Richard.

Richard.

Richard!

Hello?

What are you doing?

What are you looking at, Cindy?

Wait.

Richard!

Yeah, it is.

Richard!

Tommy, don't...

Oh my God. Oh my God.

No, no, no, don't do that.

No. Let him, let him, let him.
