Original subtitles

Come on.

Don't throw up on the judges.

You can do it, Bella. But don't throw up on the judges.

Knock, knock.

- Mommy !

Hey !

Hey, sweetheart.

Hey, this doesn't look like bedtime to me.

Yes, it does.

You're just never here.

I'm never here.

Is that right?

Come on.

Mom's right, Dancing Queen.

Dive in there.

Wait, I'm emoji.

But you have Teddy.

Come on, really?

Are you sure for bed?

Vultures nice.

The lady at the zoo said vultures only eat stuff that's already dead.

All right, puppy.

Love you.

Love you.

Get some sleep.

Night-night.

You want the door open?

A little bit.

Night, Mommy.

Night, Dad.

Night-night.

I'm not

sleepy yet.

Can I keep playing with you?

I'm your mommy.

Hello and good morning.

My name is Isabella Martin.

and ... this is the story of me.

I'm 7 years old. I live with my mommy

and Shadow, Russell Martin and Ursula Martin.

We are a very happy family.

Louder, louder.

We can't hear you.

Why is she standing so weird?

My hobbies are dancing, books and animals.

Glasses.

Looking good, mommy.

Thanks.

I can't buy my contents.

This backplate case?

Yeah, have you seen it?

Bella's practicing her story of me speech.

Oh, maybe I can hear it when I come back.

Thanks for dinner and breakfast.

Can I have a donut, please?

Whole thing missed.

Goes back next week.

I don't want to talk in front of my new class.

They won't know anyone.

That's the point.

We do this stuff now, so we're not scared of her, girl.

Use the brave face thing I do.

There it is.

Something special about me is my zipper.

I call it that because it looks like a zipper.

I got it climbing a fence when my mommy and

dad out took you lying with their friends.

Don't like that.

Maybe let's pick another special thing about you.

Yeah, or just don't mention the picnic.

I should lie about it?

No, not lie.

Maybe tell it a little different.

It's a story.

Thank you.

It just doesn't make mommy and dad look like good parents.

I'm going to bring this again.

I'm going to be home late again.

Is that all right?

Kind of has to be, doesn't it?

That's it.

That's what I'm asking.

Yeah, of course.

Same team.

Okay, same team.

Yeah.

Love you.

Love you.

I got a ton of work I should do anyway, so.

Hey, sweetie.

Hey, ho.

I thought I'd come home and eat with you.

Where's dad?

He fell asleep in the office.

I'll go get him.

No, no, no.

Let him sleep.

He needs his rest.

Cookie dough ice cream for lunch?

What kind of mother would I be?

How about scrambled eggs?

I forgot the breakfast.

That's right.

I forgot.

How about pasta?

Your favorite.

I was wrong before about your speech.

You should always tell the truth, no matter what.

I won't lie.

I love you more than life itself.

Did you know that?

Yes.

Do you love me that much?

Yes.

I like it when you say it.

I love you, mommy.

Do you want to know something silly?

Okay.

Sometimes, I think about when you and I were one person.

And it makes me so happy, I cry.

Do you remember that?

Is there a baby in your tummy?

No.

Do you remember where you were before that?

No.

You were in my heart.

Can I go into your heart?

You don't want to.

I'm sorry.

I thought you'd like this.

You said you wouldn't leave my room.

You seem lonely.

Can I give you a hug?

I don't want Daddy to see you.

Are you mad at me?

Can I ask you a question?

Sure.

What's that smell?

Is it the stove?

What are you cooking?

Do you need a friend?

I love you being independent.

But you need an adult to keep you safe.

Come on, hurry.

Come.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Go, go, go.

Whoa.

...Creepy.

Thank you.

I'll be taking my leave.

Sorry about that.

It's alright. We're happy to help.

Glad you guys came.

If you run into any more trouble...

Yes, I'll let you know right away.

"Dad"

"Yeah?"

"Yeah?"

"Yeah?"

What the hell is going on?

- There's someone in the house. - What? Where's Bella?

It's okay. She stays in the car. And she looks a lot better than I do.

It's good that you're okay.

Where did you go?

I was calling and messaging you.

I didn't see them. I'm sorry.

I went into the kitchen.

Under the counter, there's a woman tucked up in the fucking...

What?

Hiding.

Yeah.

Like she was fucking with me or something.

Are you stoned?

No.

No.

It all happened super fast.

I just grabbed Bella and I ran.

I did a little in the morning, but I swear to God.

You didn't call Bella.

Of course I didn't.

She looked like you.

Bella, I said stay in the car.

Are you hurt?

What happened?

You don't have to be scared, Mom.

She's nice.

The very friend that you and Dad created.

Come on.

Tell me the truth.

I am.

She's really good at hiding.

Where is other Mommy from?

I don't know, Mom.

She lives behind our doors.

Behind our doors?

What does that mean?

Sometimes she's there.

Sometimes she's not.

She can do magic stuff too.

Like grow really big.

Grow really small.

And make silly faces.

Is she ever mean?

Like does she scare you?

Not for a bit.

She's still living.

Like what?

Carnations.

Flowers?

Yeah.

Sometimes.

Okay.

Why does other Mommy want to be here?

Bella, we need to talk about this.

You smell like someone else.

No, I don't.

Bella, it's me.

I'm Mom.

Can we just talk until bedtime?

Yeah.

It really scares me when you talk like this.

What should we play tonight?

Shall we go see the sea?

Can I ask you something ?

Why did you have to enter my heart?

So I could protect you.

I know special children like you.

And their hearts are about to be broken forever.

Let it shine.

Is it?

It was your heart that called to me.

Dig down.

You know something's broken in this house.

You see?

All you have to do is say yes.

No, seriously, Ruth.

It's a long drive.

We get it.

Yeah, you saved us from having to take a guest room.

I don't want to do that.

Do you want to talk to Ursula?

Hey, it's your Mom.

Uh, Bella's here.

Maybe we ought to tell Grandma about the other Mommy thing that other day.

Right?

No.

She'd want to meet it.

Yeah.

Let's just keep it a family secret until, you know, I can see a doctor.

Sound good?

Uh-huh.

Okay.

Hi, Grandma.

Bella?

How's everything going?

I'm good.

Are you excited for the party tonight?

Yeah, happy anniversary.

I thought we'd sit this.

Oh, there's the mother.

Cool.

Bye.

Babysitter's here.

I thought I'd talk to you.

I'm sorry I won't be at the party.

Why aren't you coming?

Well, Mom, I think that's what a good little wedding should be like.

You know, I suppose I got them too great.

I mean, that's too much.

You be good for your parents.

I will.

Love you, Bella.

Love you, Grandma.

Hey, Calvin.

You are late, buddy.

Stay in bed for 20 minutes.

Sorry, for sure.

Uh, where's Bella?

I haven't seen her in hours.

So she's hiding.

Hmm.

I wonder where she is.

Good.

Hey!

I got you!

No!

I'm getting shot!

Hey, Bella.

You want to fly?

Thank you, ma'am.

No, not for a wizard!

Sleep, Dirkus!

I don't think that's enough.

Never be too sparkly.

Oh, right.

Right.

Definitely sparkly.

Hey, Calvin.

Calvin.

Yeah?

Can I show you something secret?

Yeah, sure.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm magic, too.

Watch.

Wait, what?

Come on, I want to show you something.

What are you doing?

Come on, Calvin!

What?

Okay.

Hey, Calvin.

Don't tell Mommy and Dad how you saw her.

Okay, whatever.

What am I seeing here?

Just be quiet.

Get past it a little bit.

Hey, how are you, people?

Everything...

normal in here?

Mm-hmm.

You want to make an appearance downstairs?

Not really.

Oh, come on, Bella, come on.

I mean, you brought up some points you were uncertain against.

A little

scare.

Oh, you've heard about that.

Yeah.

Yes.

Cool.

So, uh...

Can Uncle Frank get a hug?

No, you're not really my uncle.

I'm just Dada's friend.

Hey, you don't actually have to be related to be family, okay?

Listen, it's true.

It's true.

Fine.

Can regular Frank get a hug?

How about this ?

One high-five.

I'm not going to say anything, but everybody's staring, so...

Bright face, Dada.

Well, okay, sorry.

Uh...

Sorry.

We, uh, didn't do a big thing when we got married.

Uh...

We, um...

We bought this house instead.

We used that money wisely, and...

And, um...

To be honest, this is everything that I ever wanted, um,

is to have a home and to have a place that you could call home, you know.

And, um, this family and this home, it's, it's, it is everything to me.

And, um...

But I know it's a choice, and I know that it's hard sometimes, and I know, um,

there's like a million ways your life could go,

obviously, and, um, you know, I just want us to be happy.

And we're so happy to have everyone here celebrating with us tonight.

Yeah.

Right.

Here's to a cherished seven years.

Cheers!

Cheers!

All right.

To Bella, my babe.

To Russ and Ursula, everybody.

Cheers!

Aw, man, we got you surrounded.

Come out with your hands up.

I'm not too ready.

Maybe you're feeling cold, buddy.

Hmm.

I'll see what I can do.

There you go.

Huh?

Party number.

Really?

Yeah, come on.

Why don't you come see for yourself?

You know what these antifreeze anyway, right?

You don't want to get older ?

It's too many fingers.

It's okay.

It's okay.

I got it.

Hey.

What's up?

Are you feeling it?

Not like I do.

I'm going to miss you so much.

Honey, what's wrong?

Is it really you?

Maybe.

Oh!

Are you okay?

I'll meet you.

Tell me you weren't hurt.

Well, I don't...

Fuck, who is it?

It was me.

Yeah, of course.

Take care.

Bye.

They all think I'm crazy.

Who gives a fuck what they think?

Did they send her money?

Thank God.

Are you okay?

Are you sure you're not going to call the cops for us?

Come on.

Frank, what do you think they're going to do?

Arrest it?

So what are you guys going to do tonight?

I don't know.

We're going to figure something out.

I'm not going back to that house.

You know what?

Stop.

You guys, you're going to stay with me.

End of story.

Frank, I haven't had a chance to think.

We don't know what this thing is.

We don't even know what's happening.

I know, I know.

Just more of a reason why you need to get your family out of here.

Kid, man.

I agree.

I'm just thinking of everybody here.

What about your mom?

Look, she's into this stuff.

She just said it was fucking horrible.

I think she knows.

Experts are solid.

We'll just go to a hotel.

What do you do?

Live in a hotel?

Dude, come with my hub.

Get some sleep.

Come on, Dad.

What do you say, man?

We'll take care of her.

Okay.

Yeah?

Okay.

Let's go to Uncle Frank's.

It's a good haunted house.

Old August House.

Do you know this?

No, there's nothing.

It's all podcasting.

It's bullshit.

What about a priest?

I actually wrote down that there's a priest.

Wait, we forgot Bogey.

Um...

Do you still have the priest's number from when you were a kid?

No, I did not have a priest's number, thank God.

Bright face, Bella.

Okay.

Sleepover at Uncle Frank's.

You sure you don't want any other guest bedrooms?

What do you want to sleep on?

You like it here.

Is that okay if we stay out here?

Yeah, whatever's comfortable.

Oh, check out this garden.

It doesn't fall out, but it's way better than anything I've ever seen in your life.

And that chair right there, besides.

Sweet.

There's two fridges.

What if it follows us?

I don't think that's a thing.

I think it's the house, right?

Bella?

What do you say Cappini did?

Is it here right now?

Well, too soon.

Okay, well, if you see her, tell her to go

away because other mommies dodge her sight.

Please stop calling it that.

I'm sorry, but what do you...

What is it, exactly?

I don't know.

It still pretends to be human, but then it's like...

It's fucking real, man.

It is physical.

It was asking for carnation.

Yeah.

It looks like you.

Would you be like kneeling crosses everywhere?

It's not funny.

I'm sorry.

Listen, the point is you're safe here, okay?

And Russ, I think you need to hang on to this.

I filmed that about Bella.

Why would you give that to her?

It's real.

Mommy, look what I found.

Oh, wow.

Yeah, that's...

Great work.

You've got a good eye.

How'd your sparkly case get here?

Yeah.

Okay.

Come on.

Let's pass your bedtime.

Let's go lie down.

Yeah, we're gonna re-story it.

Yeah, so you have everything here.

Bathroom's downstairs.

Just make yourself at home.

So whatever you guys say, all right?

Here he comes.

It's yummy.

I didn't mean to scare you at the party.

I'm not supposed to talk to you anymore.

You said friends forgive each other no matter what.

Aren't I your friend?

Sure.

Me and Tyler were getting sad because you were a snout.

Not because of me, Pella.

Your parents are scared because they think they know everything, but they don't.

Tyler thinks you're still on that diet.

Is that true?

No.

I wasn't allowed to be a person.

What if I did something special for you?

Something that made everyone happy again?

Be quiet.

You already know.

What does your heart tell you?

Sweet girl, say it.

Can you make Uncle Frank go away?

That's a great idea.

Wait, what do you want to do?

Answer Mommy?

Oh, hey, Pella.

Your parents still asleep?

Oh, hey, Hanamitsu.

Hey, it's okay.

It's okay.

Can you just go out with me?

No, don't.

Come on.

Aren't we friends?

You're trying to tick me.

I think if you feel like there's something really

cool going on, I'm just going to call your dad.

Mommy!

What's wrong?

I don't think it's Uncle Frank.

No, don't!

You don't have a little accent.

What do you want?

You see like us.

How do you go to your eyes?

Emma, what did I do wrong?

I don't think I can do this.

If we tell the police, they're going to think we did it.

Or I did it.

There's not even a fucking body.

I'm so sorry.

For what?

I don't want to lie to you anymore.

Please, I'm begging you.

Don't!

I'm glad you got some sleep.

You want to get something to eat?

Mommy, are you okay?

I just needed some quiet time.

Maybe we can outrun it.

We can make it find somebody else.

It's not just going to stop.

I'm just saying, we don't even know what it wants.

Well, it won't cut us off one-on-one.

I think it's approaching us.

Come on.

Carnations, I told you.

She wants to switch places with me.

Do you mean reincarnation?

No, her reincarnation.

She'll be me.

Only for a little bit.

So she can fix our family.

Okay, never say yes.

Okay, never ever say yes, Bella.

You understand me?

She's lying.

We have to kill this thing.

Oh, great.

Yeah, let's do that.

I mean, do we even know that's possible?

I don't know, Russ.

He's trying to take our daughter.

Can you fight?

Help me?

Yes.

Jesus.

Okay.

Well, you know who we should ask.

No.

She hired that meeting right after your dad died.

Oh, the scammers?

No.

They're professionals.

I mean, this is what they do for a living.

I mean, this is real.

Like, what are we going to do?

Go to a church?

They'll call a social worker.

Yeah, I do too.

Yeah.

Mom doesn't think it's a good idea.

So...

You should hear what she has to say about you, Adam.

Well, this is not about that.

Oh, sorry.

Hey, Lindsay.

Oh, yeah.

I'm not coming in today.

It's, um...

Mr. Zell.

It actually happened to people.

You understand that, right?

I don't know if it's easier being a kid, but this is really hard.

Is that boyfriend dead?

I don't know.

I think so.

Do you know the meaning for that to happen?

Do you just want Mommy to love you again?

She does.

Does she love that boyfriend too?

I don't know.

Sometimes grown-ups, they, um...

They fall in love with other people, even though they shouldn't.

But...

Mom's always going to love us.

We're going to be fine.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Okay, okay.

You can go right up there to where I can see you.

Be careful.

Oh, wait.

You want to wait till I...

What are you playing?

You can bug, and I'm going to squish you.

Wait.

I'm going to go ask my dad out first.

Okay, Bella.

It's time to go.

Come on down.

Yeah.

I'll see you.

Bella?

Bella?

I love you.

What's the matter, Bella?

Aren't you happy today?

I'm afraid you'll go away.

I didn't ask for that.

Yes, you did.

I made him sparkle for you.

No, they won't.

He might be frightened.

Come on, Bella.

Let's play silly faces.

I'll be you, and you'll be me.

And you'll be fine.

Like me.

I got you.

I got you.

No, I don't want that, Lindsay.

I have to be here.

Oh, she may.

Actually, no.

I don't get frightened.

Bella?

Where is she?

They're coming here, of course.

Where should we go, Bella?

Anywhere if you want.

I want...

And me.

Yeah, me too.

Sorry.

Your parents are lying to you, Bella.

She wishes you were here.

Hey, Moe, it says we're here.

Drive up and remove your socks.

See, I told you she'd lost her mind.

She's probably peeing in the dog bowl or something.

Eww.

Yum, yum.

They need to come out now.

I need to get your socks for the dog.

They have to accept your scent before you can come in.

Now the crystals aren't doing the trick anymore?

I prefer a little more bite.

They're so pretty.

This house is protected.

My scammer friends are coming tomorrow.

They'll fix your problem.

You guys look like you could use a drink.

I meant to ask, how's Dad doing?

He did talk pretty regularly, I heard.

As a matter of fact, we do.

He was the love of my life.

Which is hard to find.

I should know.

Fantastic.

Not upsetting at all.

Tell him I said hi.

He asked about you.

He asked about me too?

Hardly.

Is that where you keep your mail files, Grandma?

What's that, honey?

Honey, your pee?

Your mother and I used to sit down here and talk.

Back when we talked at all.

People like to say you can't choose your family.

You're stuck with them for life.

You get older and you realize that's not exactly true.

No one's love is guaranteed.

It's always a choice.

You're not supposed to lie to the people you love.

Yeah.

But we all do.

People you love are going to lie to you.

Just like people who hurt you are going to say they love you.

So your Mommy said she'd give me a kiss so I won't ever hear her?

That's the biggest lie of all, isn't it?

What do you mean?

Nobody gets through life without a few scars, Bella.

That's what makes us powerful.

That's being human.

It's scary and it's beautiful and it hurts.

But we're lucky to do it.

Don't ever forget that.

I have some very powerful friends coming tomorrow.

They're not afraid of other Mommy.

She'll be afraid of them.

Uh-oh.

Calorie's coming.

Let's see.

Well, it's nice to see you again, Ruth.

Considering my circumstances.

Hello.

I'm Lois Anthony.

I'm grateful to be here.

Of course we're grateful.

Really.

I've helped a lot of people in situations like yours.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Lois guided me when we lost Grandpa.

When she tells spirits what to do, they listen.

Keep bringing those in, please.

Both the guys can throw objects up to 100 miles an hour.

I'm an entity, or what it really is.

It's a trickster.

A corrupted energy seeking a host intruding from another plane.

It's horrible.

Keep this first one on.

It's gonna tell me how your body's reacting on the inside.

My heart?

Yeah, exactly.

Would be evil to see someone's inside me?

Inside your heart?

It's probably nothing you did.

These monsters are always drawn to children because of their innocence.

They slipped through the cracks into our world, but they need permission to exist.

As soon as Bella's innocence is broken, the demon won't want her anymore.

So you're saying we're supposed to make her less innocent?

No, no.

We're here to kill the monster.

We light this candle to ward off those that fear fire.

We pour this cup to ward off those that fear water.

We spill this salt to ward off those that fear the earth.

We wish to be heard by the entity known as Other Mommy.

No more hiding.

It's time for you to go.

We're not afraid of you, Other Mommy.

Your fun is over.

Contact.

Upstairs.

You don't belong here!

This girl is under my protection!

We have the power here!

This is Bella's life, not yours!

Motion to sensor zone four, upstairs hall.

Where's that meeting?

Zone two, downstairs now?

What the fuck?

We ask that you move on from Bella.

She's tired.

Her family is tired.

Do you see him, Brian?

No, I saw nothing.

Whisper.

Do you see him?

Go check the footprints.

Everything's okay.

We have Other Mommy right where we want her.

Oh, okay.

We've got to get out of here.

Loads.

Oh, God.

We left the lights on.

Are you kidding me?

Bella, tonight, I think in order to get through this,

we all need to be someone else.

What do you mean?

We're done running.

This is our home.

I think we should dress up tonight.

Have a little party.

Can I wear some of your jewelry?

You can wear all of my jewelry.

Like that.

Okay.

Bring us to Mommy's closet, right?

Tell her she can't put the book down, okay?

Okay.

Can I try it?

Go for it.

I feel like it.

Okay.

I'm okay.

I can wear them down.

Happy to.

Cheers.

You think we have enough?

Yeah.

I bet she's shaking in her boots.

Mom, this is everything we got.

What do you think?

Do I look like a badass?

I think you do.

I am trying to choose between a crowbar and a cleaver.

I don't know.

Do you hear that?

You know this song.

Wait a second.

Is he gonna...

at a time like this?

How could he?

Oh, no.

How do you feel?

Pick one you like.

Your cleaver.

This is really good.

I'm glad you said it.

Always.

I was married to someone else when I got pregnant.

I'm a child.

That's when I met Daddo.

For the same reason.

I'm still here, Daddo.

Are you still here?

I don't want to be here.

Please, other mommy.

I'll do anything.

Just don't leave me alone.

Maybe there's something we have to save.

I didn't think it would be this hard.

So much easier.

I hope you'll like it there.

What do I have to do?

Just a hug.

Can you say yes?

Bella, can I go inside your heart?

I'm scared.

I'll make sure nobody ever hurts you again.

That's the biggest lie of all, isn't it?

Nobody gets through life without a few scars, Bella.

To pick who you want to let into your heart.

And who you want to keep out.

That's what makes us powerful.

That's being human.

Never be sad like them.

I am a liar like them.

Hello and good morning.

My name is Isabella Martin.

And this is the story of me.

I'm very excited to make new friends this year at school.

There's a song I used to sing about friends.

It says new friends are silver.

Old friends are gold.

All my old friends are gone.

I'm going to our house.

Chrysler Martin and Russell Martin.

Yeah, I don't need a dial number.

Something special about me is my zipper.

My mom has one too.

All right.

Hey, honey.

Still hurt?

Oh, no.

It's just itches.

Can you tell people you got yours?

I don't know.

I guess I'm going to have to make something up.

OK, that looks good.

My mom and my dad love each other very much.

What?

Everybody survived?
