Pizza's not pizza without cheese.

What is that, Seb? What are you doing?

Yeah.

during the Arab Spring of 2011,

what has caused the current uptick

Um...

Um...

Like trademarks.

- Or "This is the way it is." - Those are catchphrases.

I mean, do I do too much of this shit with my hands?

- ...in your peripheral vision? - It's very annoying.

What about this? Is this annoying?

Stop it.

- Get off! Get off me! - You always mess with my stuff!

- That's enough. Come on. Up. - No, no, no. Stop it.

He threw Veronica off the roof.

I was testing my new parachute.

- I never touch yours! - I just wanted to use it.

Gotta go. Come on, kisses.

I know it's not perfect.

But when we get back to Albuquerque next week,

for a proper fix-up.

Wherever we go next,

Hey, that's not cool.

Butterfly. Come on.

Bob. Hi, how are you?

and increasingly desperate measures

of ancient arti--

That you are doing it in my peripheral vision, so stop it.

- Hmm. - Seb,

Um... I'll tell you after my shift.

when it comes out of Mom.

What time is it all the way over there in Cairo?

Minutes after three in the afternoon.

Do you want that breakfast news gig?

Layla?

Or mom. You would say "mom", right?

But she didn't want you to worry when she didn't show up to play.

Did she tell you anything about me?

That's right.

- Hey. - Hey,

How do you feel about our new baby

No fucking way.

You got the job?

I'm trying to be quiet 'cause I haven't told the kids.

I told you. I told you!

Oh, my God. When do they want you to start?

Ta-da!

- I'm gonna have to... - Babe.

Have you been giving Katie candy?

No. What candy?

Ah? Hah. Hm.

Wait.

I grew it in my own garden.

Where did Katie get these?

About her friend who gives them to her at the end of the garden.

For what?

Katie?

Katie?

Katie?

Hey!

Katie?

Katie!

She's got a point.

An impression of you?

Isn't it one of your tics?

Oh, yeah?

Not gonna lie. I did do it.

You said we were gonna live in New York next,

Just after 8 a.m. in New York City.

I'm just about to start my rounds.

Well, Mama's not gonna be happy we're not

She only shared with me if I promised not to tell you.

Katie?

Katie!

Katie!

No, no. We live here.

We've been living here for five months.

When was the last time you saw Katie?

And then I went to work,

and-- and you were at home with the kids.

Mr. Cannon.

Wait, I have these.

What is he saying?

You think I don't know what you're talking about?

You think we did something to our own daughter?

Are you gonna fucking help us?

Somebody took our child!

Breaking story at the top of the hour

Traffic delays on the 25 just south of Albuquerque

was spotted trying to cross the highway.

Can I use your computer?

What for?

Printing stuff.

What stuff?

No, I don't like cheese.

...as they roll out new major schemes

Babe, do I use my hands too much when I'm on TV?

You know what is really annoying?

- Come here. - What happened?

we'll bring her straight to the doll hospital

Uh...

Would you like to see a trick?

Jesus, there's so much to organize.

It tastes sweeter than any candy.

Hey!

11 a.m. Um...

Send someone out there to find her!

- Rat. - Eh, rat.

I think she looks kind of froggy.

Nah, we've been calling her rat-face

Isn't the game called, "Rat or Frog?"

"Rat, Frog, or Angel"

- if it's Tay. - Okay.

- I think I'm a total frog, man. - Yeah.

- No. - Of course, honey.

No. You never ever finish two. Never.

- It's two slices of pizza, babe. - No.

You know?

is Charlie Cannon.

the Egyptian authorities are unsure

Is this annoying?

I will do murders to the guilty and the innocent, okay?

No! You didn't even yell at him.

I'm Layla's mother.

Yes fucking way.

Like, a lot of candy?

My final magic trick.

Katie!

Somebody, whoever took her, was giving these to her.

Mom?

I hear you, Charlie.

Sorry, guys.

Nice work, babe.

the school trip to Europe in the spring.

Well, that's not possible.

but I'm not Katie, Mom.

That kid's a freaking toad.

Can't argue with that, Sebastian.

Can I get two slices today?

No, no, no.

Mr. Cannon, my name is Bryce Vogel.

I'm Deputy Chief of Mission at the US Embassy in Cairo.

Uh, just a sec.

Do you have new information?

Yes, I do, ma'am.

Your daughter Katie has been found.

She's alive.

Likely from a lack of light, and extreme malnutrition.

She's locked in a deep catatonic state,

which is causing her to make erratic and extreme movements.

Repeating abrupt noises.

We have her under heavy sedation.

It helps.

Not tonight, buddy.

- ...are on the defensive... - Just a minute.

Okay.

'Cause that could be potentially very annoying for my viewers.

- Katie, stop! Stop it. - That's enough.

What have you done to her?

Charlie Cannon.

Well, she said you're a magician.

And you didn't believe me. Idiot!

I have one more treat for you.

Hey, have you seen a little girl?

He's a TV news correspondent.

What the fuck is your problem?

But her levels of distress continue to manifest.

The Egyptian authorities will keep her discovery

ample time to adjust to your new situation.

Okay to go?

Hey.

Hey, Butterfly.

The scratches?

Self-inflicted.

When we admitted her, she was clawing at her skin.

Her heart sounds so strong. So, so strong.

Okay. Let's do...

Unlike the swath of looting that took place

Like, you know, "Good night and good luck."

- Yeah? - Yeah.

But why do you always touch my stuff?

I hope you stay here on your own.

Hello, there.

growing up a Yankees fan?

...break it gently to her.

I hope you can forgive me, Katie.

Katie!

About 3:00 p.m.

after a large desert tortoise

Okay. Come on, let's go.

- Amen. - Amen.

I changed 13 catheters in an hour.

It's the information about

I know I don't need to, but I want to.

You're just scared something's going to happen to me,

Frog. Definitely a frog.

- Taylor Swift. - No bueno, Seb! She's an angel.

Oh, yeah?

Sorry, buddy. I'm not buying what you're selling.

Is your wife with you, sir?

Katie has suffered extensive dermal trauma.

The comfort of home will be the best medicine

to help return her from this locked-in state.

Katie.

Katie. It's okay.

when the plane crashed.

What the fuck was our daughter doing

in a 3,000-year-old sarcophagus?

If you want to smuggle something or even someone

I think we should get back upstairs to her.

I remember you.

You were there the day she got kidnapped.

You had a working theory then too, didn't you?

to make money.

We need to practice this more, or I'll fail it.

- why did you do that? - I'm sorry--

Okay.

Thanks, buddy.

She loves being your friend.

I knew you'd get it. I knew it.

I should go now before my dad wonders where I am.

Katie?

You think we did this?

out of the press to give you and your family

We're here.

Physically she's strong.

Katie was being transported inside it

It's the perfect human trafficking cover.

And where's his expert opinion tonight?

Buried in Bab al-Wazir Cemetery.

Are you gonna do a better job

of finding who took our daughter than he did?

Not until your sister arrives.

But it's a lot of cake.

Well, she missed a lot of birthdays.

Fine.

Wow.

Mama.

All right. You ready

- to meet your sister? - Yeah.

- Show me my granddaughter. - Yeah, okay.

Go ahead.

Mama!

- Pepperoni pizza? - Oh.

three years of almost continuous drought

- in unauthorized digs. - Hey!

What about her? Is she gonna be annoying?

Mm?

Don't call me Butterfly. I hate you both right now.

Where's Layla today?

Yep. They just called.

Ah!

Katie?

This is her. This is just from a week ago.

Hey.

Hey.

Dad!

Hey.

My last baby tooth is finally loose.

Oh, let me see.

Traffic was backed up on the 25 because of a tortoise.

What kind of tortoise?

A truck-sized tortoise.

Truck-sized tortoise?

Are they the poo or pee ones?

I got a call to say I've been nominated

as vice chair of my bridge club.

No phone at the dinner table.

Why are you showing it to me?

It's only six months away,

and I wanted you to know about it.

You think my tooth will come out tonight?

Why not?

Because it's not.

When's the last time we went on a family vacation?

Okay, we'll talk about this another time. Okay?

No, we won't. We never do.

Watch it, Seb.

Have I ever been on vacation?

Hmm.

Uh-uh.

How about my teacher?

Mm-mm.

You have got this all wrapped up.

...large scale efforts are being made...

has forced local farmers to find new

Oh, that's an impression of me? With the hands thing?

- With the smuggling... - Katie.

My tics?

- It's annoying... - Yeah.

She's gonna be really annoying, just like her dad.

Oh, Seb.

Who do you love most, Mom?

not Grandma's again.

I won't test the parachute on the new baby

Let me ask you a question, Charlie.

She has a sick tummy.

Yeah, quick one. Um...

Oh, my God.

moving back in with her.

Your favorite.

Tell me what?

Katie?

Katie!

Are you on vacation?

And that's it.

What is he saying?

here at ABQ News 82.

Stuff I want to print.

- No. - You sure?

It was good.

What is it?

you don't need to go on this.

Don't talk back to your mom, okay?

? Revved up like a deuce Another runner in the night ?

- Nice. - Okay, okay, I have a good one.

What about you, sweetheart?

Hello. Is this Mr. Charlie Cannon?

Uh, yeah, yeah, I'm here.

for what you are about to see.

Yeah, we are here.

we haven't observed her pulse rate rise above 85.

Between two and three thousand years old.

You want me to pull it out with the pliers?

How was your day?

I wanna show you something.

You know,

? Blinded by the light ?

behind her back in class.

- Right? - Yeah.

Hello?

Hello, Mr. Cannon? Are you there?

It's very important you fully prepare yourselves

Blind eyes are turned to the illegal trade of artifacts.

Charlie, let's go back upstairs.

Can I have some now, G��elita?

Dad! Dad!

- You good? - Come on.

Wait.

I'm Maud.

Your little sis.

So, I'm almost the same age as you now when you...

...you know.

I don't know what to say to her.

Just anything.

Hey, I get it. It's a lot, I know.

But it is your big sister.

She just needs our care and support and time.

Amen.

? I'm fuckin' sick bro ?

? Underrated on the internet ?

? This song's A fuckin' hit though ?

Seb.

Seb.

No sudden moves. No loud noises.

Yeah, yeah.

Even under testing,

It's a basalt sarcophagus.

the best place is inside our history.

That was my senior officer's opinion.

All the time, across New Mexico.

Good answer. You're gonna stay in my will.

- Be gentle. - Sure, Dad.

Hey, Katie.

Seb?

It's like Mom said.

She needs care and support,

and time.

Do you want to know why you were so excited?

Because you were getting this room

from when I was little, too.

Do you remember that?

No. They're inside the house.

They can't get inside the house.

Lari.

Where's Katie?

Katie!

Katie!

- Do you see her? - No.

Katie.

I know. But it's just for now.

See you later.

Go ahead, Seb. Don't be late.

What happened to her, Dad?

Kids, stay in the car.

What?

Strange physical tics.

? I might be ?

It's just coyotes.

You were only three. And you were so excited.

I told you, it's just the coyotes.

Katie.

You said "fuck."

I don't know, Seb.

You know, she'll take a lovely color.

Like chili pepper, maybe?

No.

I was always busy, busy, busy, you know.

And one day, a crew came to town to do a movie,

with none other than Sophia Loren.

Ah, Sophia. You know, she was the greatest.

Oh, fuck.

Charlie!

What happened? You okay? Are you all right?

Go find her.

I think we have to consider finding a place for her.

Even just for the short term.

Do you think I can't handle

taking care of my own daughter at home?

Is too much for you to stomach.

But she's not going anywhere.

She's been gone long enough. And she's safe here. With us.

So, you need to be gentle and calm with her.

It's Mom and Dad.

Her vitals are all perfect.

What is this?

in this country and avoid detection,

You thought I did something to her.

Classic rock.

Nothing is prettier than you.

Mom.

There's nothing to be afraid of, okay?

And you probably missed so much of her new music.

I have a new older sister.

What really happened to her?

When I had the salon,

and guess who they called to fix it?

It's okay, sweetheart. Mama's got you.

and the way she's behaving, is--

We can't ignore this.

Drop it, Charlie.

The doctor said she needs to be with her family.

Don't you want to know what happened to her?

I want to know why you cannot take care

of your own daughter here and now.

Why you're fucking stuck in the past all of the time.

I'm not stuck in the past.

But we can't fix her if we don't know what happened to her.

I can fix her.

I can fix her.

- No, you can't. - I can do it.

You know what, Lari?

You don't even have to say it.

It's written all over you.

How come you never realized she had

a secret friend at the end of the garden?

You're her mother.

? Don't be a dick bro ?

I'm a little freaked out.

to live with Abuelita?

There's weird noises.

Sweetheart.

What the fuck?

- Are you? - Of course.

by looking for some sort of fucking news story.

But what about all the days when you were there?

Katie, my love?

Say something.

Katie, say something.

Say something. Please.

I think you must be looking for the med school,

which is in the other block, my friend.

This is Archaeology 101.

And here, being dead is nothing special.

can I have a moment of your time?

It's "Professor Bixler,"

and the tutorial sign-up sheet

hangs on the same wall as it always does.

Well, these aren't hieroglyphics.

This looks like hieratic,

the first cursive script of ancient Egypt. Way back.

Do you know what it says?

Where did you get these?

Can you translate it?

What sort of story are you working on, Mr. Cannon?

Yes.

Are these prettier than me?

- She's still very weak, okay? - Hey.

Come say a proper hello.

that you like Taylor Swift, and well, I love Taylor.

and help her remember we are her family.

It's not very normal to not tell anybody

No.

You could make a necklace out of those nails.

her stylist got drunk and then he messed up her hair,

Katie?

I'm saying that what she's done to herself,

Lari.

Excuse me, Mr. Bixler,

I'm here to talk about Egyptian hieroglyphics.

Hey, yeah. It's, um... It's Charlie Cannon.

How is she?

She gave me a name.

Okay?

I don't know. Layla's-- Layla's all I've got.

There's a lot of Laylas in Egypt.

I know.

Charlie?

I can't live with not knowing what happened to her.

Did you have any friends

or colleagues called Layla when you lived in Cairo?

Uh...

Anybody called Layla approach your family

or tried to communicate with you

since Katie went missing?

Mom?

? So, I bowed my head ?

- Katie? Is that you singing? - ? And I cried ?

Yes. I can talk now too.

Holy shit! I'll get Mom.

Hey, come.

And Mom told me

Okay? And we all need to rally around her,

What the hell, Maudie?

No, by Katie.

Do you remember the day we moved in here

Seb!

Katie.

Hold her. Keep her still.

but we just have to keep things as normal as we can.

and it could be weeks, could be months.

They did a nasty pedicure in that hospital.

You know, one night,

Katie?

What are you saying then?

To get some scissors.

You think I'm not relieved that I have my daughter home?

At least I'm not the one trying to bury my own guilt

I was the one who was there the day she went missing.

Katie?

They're all dead.

Professor, I'm not interested in your taxes.

Three thousand years before Jesus showed up.

Zaki.

Layla who?

Not enough.

Not that I can remember, no.

? I was mistaken ?

You're okay. You're okay.

Seb!

- And... - Injections.

Seb?

There's something in the walls.

Stop!

- She's right there. - I'm aware.

No. No.

And yeah,

Leave us the fuck alone.

who can tell me what's so special about all these bodies?

I'm so sorry.

It's, uh... It's Layla.

How many of them were still alive?

Past or present.

? When I awoke, dear ?

I wanted to practice talking to you first.

You're my favorite in the family.

Exactly.

That's why I want to know all the different things about you.

Like how your little piggies taste.

I'm so sad.

are fragments of a much larger, more cohesive narrative,

Not until I saw this one word...

repeated over and over again.

"Nasmaranian."

What's a Nasmaranian?

It's not an "a", it's a "the."

on ancient Egyptian demonology

tell of a dark force that people feared

before they even had words for such terror.

The Nasmaranian moved as a shadow amongst the living,

Guys, I know it feels weird going back to school right now,

The doctor in Egypt said she's locked in,

Okay.

People say I look like her.

Mama. Mama.

That's not what I said.

Lari, where are you going?

I know you blame me for what happened to her.

Look, the tax return situation from last year was a simple--

These seven different pieces

delighting in turning father against son,

A whisper in the ear, a seed of suspicion,

creating cruelty where love once lived.

as this beast spread a cancerous rot amongst them.

It was the devil of its time.

But then, by 2,000 BC, its influence faded.

No more writings.

save for one rumor

that the Nasmaranian had been

trapped through an ancient ritual.

Either that, or it just disappeared.

Miss Mills?

Yes, Maud?

You're not a frog.

You're a rat-faced cunt.

Rat-faced cunt. Rat-faced cunt. Rat-faced cunt.

Fuck you.

We're not gonna tell your mom

- You are. - I'm trying to find answers.

Not if you're burying your head in the sand.

Every fucking day.

I'm sorry, Lari. Can we just--

So...

I'm so sorry.

What's the name?

Fifty-seven.

Anybody of that name in your life?

? I dreamed I held you In my arms ?

L-Let's make it a surprise.

But you don't even know me.

Layla.

The ancient inscriptions

it travelled from one person to the next.

No more stories,

Maud, it's not craft time yet.

I can make your heart stop.

Larissa!

Larissa!

I'm behind you.

? I said, "Hey, Carmen ?

? Crazy Chester followed me And he caught me in the fog ?

? He said, "I will fix Your rack if you..." ?

Mama!

? Take a load off, Fanny ?

? And... ?

Hey, you're through to Charlie Cannon.

I can't get to the phone right now.

Charlie, it's Zaki.

I, uh... I have to come see you.

She needs you.

Hey.

Seb's outside the door.

I'll go back up in a few minutes and check on her.

Lari.

No, no, no. I'm not a student. I'm a producer from ABQ News.

This recording is from an international lecture

and in leaving mothers to bury their children.

These bindings,

? Hey, mister Can you tell me... ?

? Come on Let's go downtown" ?

? Take a load for free ?

Dad, Mom's looking for you.

It doesn't feel real.

Please let me out so I can join the big, happy party downstairs.

Why are they hiding me away?

I really miss being a part of the family, Seb.

Do you remember the day that

to see if she could fly?

You're the one that gave me the idea

in that coffin down there.

Stop! Stop!

Sweetheart?

Maud?

Maud!

We're going somewhere safe.

Is Katie coming?

No. Not right now.

Because we are in a rush, Maud. Okay?

to recommit to the containment

of our ancient family secret.

This will be the...

I'm sorry.

Say something. Say something!

A private one.

Can you look into it for me?

How many people have you found?

No. None.

* The other night, dear As I lay sleeping ?

No, Maudie.

The script set, as I assumed, was indeed hieratic.

? I just need someplace Where I can... ?

Please leave a message.

It's all your fault she's rotting

This is the woman who kidnapped your daughter.

from the evil reach of the Nasmaranian.

I commit this testament so that in decades to come,

from a spent vessel...

...to a freshly prepared host."

"An innocent child is best.

"Let us begin."

This will all be over soon, Katie.

I promise.

I want my mommy and my daddy.

No, please!

I don't wanna know.

Wanna come help me get undressed?

I didn't want it to happen to Katie.

It was known as the destroyer of family.

wherever you got them, contain words of protection.

Rat-faced cunt. Rat-faced cunt.

She's got a lot on her mind.

Coyotes are gone.

Dad!

But we just gotta get through this, okay?

you threw Veronica off the roof

What's wrong?

No. At being my mom.

your children will know what they must do

Please. I wanna go home.

No!

No!

Let me go!

That thing they put inside her

was meant to stay buried and bound.

Charlie.

Wait. Wait, Katie. Wait, baby.

Katie.

Katie!

Do you wanna feast on me?

Come on.

Katie!

Charlie!

You're never getting her back!

I'm her daddy now.

Zaki! The words! Remember the words!

Mom?

Katie?

Dad?

Come on, sweetheart. Let's go back upstairs.

What is he saying?

He says he loves us.

No, let her go. It's her turn.

It's me.

It's late for you.

I don't really sleep.

Me neither.

I need to talk to you about Charlie.

She wants to know if you'd like to see a trick.

She was my best friend.

Inked on what appear to be some sort of ceremonial bindings.

which I couldn't get my head around at first.

from the Al-Azhar University in Cairo.

Like a sickness of the soul,

Words to ward off this long lost demon.

? Where a man Might find a bed? ?

Don't worry, Grandma. It's fun to be dead.

This is what your mom would have wanted.

I wish I didn't have to show you what's on this tape.

"The dark signs have begun to show once more.

...82nd mummification ritual.

that our family will remain protected

when it is their time to transfer this demon...

Hey. I don't-- I don't wanna know.

No! Stop!

Yes.

Katie. Katie, Mommy's coming. Mommy's coming.

Hey, Charlie.

You used to play chase with me.

We love you, Dad.

I'm listening.

Like what?

Entire communities unraveled

That's correct. I'm not a frog.

about what happened at school today.

? Take a load off, Fanny ?

There's something I need to show you.

I don't want her here anymore.

Warning us that the time has come

The body lasts longest.

Please let me go!

Charlie!

You know my face.

Rat-faced cunt. Rat-faced cunt.

Oh, shit! Oh, my God!

She's calm right now.

I'm not talking about my mom.

Hold her!

But it's very important you see what happened to Katie.

And as the first-born child,

Baby brother?

Now you just wriggle away

I know. I know.

Why are you so bad at this?

But any live human will do."

We have to know. We have to know.

No!

I'm sorry.

Hello?

You remember my Katie, don't you?

Don't go, baby brother.

Where are we going?

I am honored to carry this great responsibility of ensuring

No! No!

Yes?

Taste it.

Please! No! Let me go! Stop!

I'm not very comfortable inside your daughter.
