00:02:10Good morning, Miss Danner.
00:02:12Morning, Teddy.
00:02:14Nice to see you here early, first thing.
00:02:16Any appointments?
00:02:18Um, Mr. Lissitz is already waiting in your office.
00:02:22In my office?
00:02:23He didn't want to stay in the holding area.
00:02:25I tried talking to him about it, but...
00:02:27Mm-hmm.
00:02:28You know how it is.
00:02:29Not paid enough to deal with the hard ass.
00:02:31Not paid enough to deal with you,
00:02:33let alone the hard asses.
00:02:44You know, Jack,
00:02:45you're gonna have to start being nicer to my employees.
00:02:47I simply can't afford the ones that would put you in your place.
00:03:00Sorry.
00:03:02Looking for your notebook?
00:03:03Yeah, no, it's, uh, here on my desk.
00:03:09No worries.
00:03:11I'll just use this to take notes.
00:03:14So I was thinking, um...
00:03:17not really sure if I have much time,
00:03:19so, uh, thought I'd run something by ya.
00:03:22I can trust you to tell me the truth, right, Teddy?
00:03:25Of course you can.
00:03:27Authors can't get the story if they're not above board.
00:03:30Sadly, there's no Pulitzer Prize for lying.
00:03:39But you're not really a journalist, are you, Teddy?
00:03:43A journalist slash novelist.
00:03:45I pride myself on being able to do both.
00:03:48So, Jack, let's get back to what you're doing in my office.
00:03:53I want to, uh...
00:03:55I want to know more about your gift.
00:04:00Gift?
00:04:02Oh, come on, Teddy.
00:04:04Your horror novels are obviously based on real-life events.
00:04:06I mean, any reader can tell that.
00:04:09The truth will set you free, right?
00:04:11That's what we all want.
00:04:13I just want you to confirm for me what I already know.
00:04:18I, uh, don't like to talk about it.
00:04:21We all have things we don't want to talk about.
00:04:25What is it that you want to know, Jack?
00:04:30You see the dead.
00:04:32Yeah, kind of.
00:04:36For how long?
00:04:39Uh, ever since I was a kid.
00:04:42Shortly after my father passed, when it started.
00:04:44So he would visit you?
00:04:46No, not him.
00:04:49Actually, things far worse.
00:04:52I didn't like to whisper.
00:04:54Didn't have the guts to show themselves.
00:04:57Always in your ear, though, you know?
00:04:59And then?
00:05:02And then, uh, I could see people.
00:05:05You know, it started with all the relatives,
00:05:07but as I got older, I could see other people,
00:05:10and people would show themselves to me if they wanted.
00:05:15So all this build-up about you cracking unsolved cases...
00:05:21was because I could speak with the deceased.
00:05:24Yeah.
00:05:26So let's get back to why you're in my office.
00:05:28Why'd you become a writer?
00:05:32It's who I am.
00:05:34I saw no reason to, uh, change because of the gift.
00:05:40So you use your gift for your own benefit.
00:05:45Yeah, pretty much.
00:05:49How do you feel about that?
00:05:51My accountant loves it.
00:05:57So back to what it is that you're doing here.
00:06:01Really? Again?
00:06:04Okay.
00:06:18Yeah.
00:06:36Good morning, Miss DeAnna.
00:06:39In my office, really.
00:06:41He's been here all morning.
00:06:44Two days in a row, that's some kind of record.
00:06:47Thanks.
00:06:59Jack, in my office, making yourself comfortable?
00:07:02What can I do for you?
00:07:04Campton Ball. I have information on it.
00:07:08Okay.
00:07:10Well, that was a long time ago.
00:07:12Yeah, the big New Year's Eve party.
00:07:14Fancy rich people.
00:07:16The good news is that everyone died.
00:07:18Yes, everyone died. Very tragic.
00:07:23It's unsolved.
00:07:25Well, it's hard to solve murders without any wounds.
00:07:28You know, no reason for their deaths outside of the heart-stopping.
00:07:31That's good enough reason for me.
00:07:34So what is it you're trying to tell me?
00:07:36I'm not just trying to tell you something. I'm trying to show you something.
00:07:39Alright, what's that?
00:07:41That the dead don't stay dead.
00:07:44There's nothing dangerous about people that have passed.
00:07:47We'll have to agree to disagree on that.
00:07:51Okay.
00:07:53Fair enough. So, back to the party.
00:07:57Not everyone died.
00:07:59Really? I didn't know that.
00:08:01I guess it was a big fancy party, right? Important people.
00:08:04And where did they all end up?
00:08:06It's New Year's, so you drink, you kiss at midnight, you go home.
00:08:10Okay, but many stayed.
00:08:13Yeah, the real movers and shakers stayed.
00:08:15See, there's always one more tale to tell.
00:08:17There's always one more deal to make.
00:08:19There's one more girl to chase.
00:08:20See, the others, they're just pretenders.
00:08:22They're more interested in screwing than moving up the societal ladder.
00:08:26And what's your point?
00:08:29There's a reason all those people died.
00:08:31Yes, of course. There always is.
00:08:34And it's not just fodder for one of your books.
00:08:36Look, I'm trying to get you to understand what happened that night.
00:08:39And I'm trying to appeal to your journalistic side, not that blood-sucking thing you do for money.
00:08:43Easy. All right. I'm interested. I like mysteries. Go on.
00:08:48This is a lot darker than a normal murder investigation, and you have to treat it that way.
00:08:52Because if you don't, there's nothing that I can do to stop you.
00:09:12No.
00:09:22No.
00:09:33No.
00:09:38No.
00:09:42I'll need sleep anyway.
00:09:54So you know it's 3 a.m., right?
00:09:57I'm aware.
00:09:58And you understand that it's the middle of winter, and I don't drive.
00:10:02And it's a very, very cold walk. That's all I'm saying.
00:10:06Yeah, and I could have froze my dick off.
00:10:08It's not that cold.
00:10:10It's that cold. Ugh.
00:10:13Listen, I'm sorry for asking you to come over. I'm just...
00:10:17I got spooked.
00:10:19You got spooked?
00:10:21I don't buy that, man. You do spooks for a living.
00:10:24Yeah. This is... this is different.
00:10:27I've been getting contacted about an incident.
00:10:33Okay. Um... I'll bite.
00:10:36What happened?
00:10:39Well, nothing that I know of. He won't tell me anything.
00:10:42He just... he shows up, he comes and goes when he wants.
00:10:45And I've been having these... these dreams.
00:10:47It's like, you know, I just... I can't tell what is real and what is unreal.
00:10:52What the fuck are you doing?
00:10:53Just... I had to make sure you're real.
00:10:54Of course I'm real.
00:10:56If you do that again, you're gonna have to buy me a drink.
00:10:58Oh, we should go get a drink.
00:11:01Uh-huh.
00:11:04How is it Greg can keep this place open so late at night?
00:11:08Not giving a shit, mostly.
00:11:11And all the other drinkers are off-duty cops.
00:11:15I think you like to come here for the spirits.
00:11:18And I don't mean the ones you can drink.
00:11:22Greg, can I get a refill, please?
00:11:24Yeah, no problem.
00:11:26What are you looking at?
00:11:31What are you looking at?
00:11:34What do you mean?
00:11:36What do I mean?
00:11:38Don't bullshit a bullshit. I've been sitting here watching you stare at that empty chair for 30 minutes.
00:11:43What are you looking at?
00:11:48You remember Annie Lenmore's kid?
00:11:51Alice?
00:11:54Yeah, that cute blonde, right?
00:11:57I took her out once.
00:11:59Is she...
00:12:02Car accident, maybe?
00:12:04A couple hours ago.
00:12:06So what's she doing here?
00:12:10Greg probably over-served her.
00:12:13Shocker.
00:12:15When death is sudden, they stick close to a person or place for a while.
00:12:23What's she doing?
00:12:26Right now, she's walking over here.
00:12:33Don't even joke about something like that, okay?
00:12:36I'm not.
00:12:39How close is she?
00:12:41Five feet.
00:12:46Okay, how about now?
00:12:49Now she's about to touch your face.
00:12:56Will I feel it?
00:12:58No.
00:13:05No, no, this is...
00:13:08No, this is too much. I've had too much fun for one night.
00:13:11Too much to drink, too.
00:13:13I'm gonna get going.
00:13:16Appreciate it.
00:13:18Hey, uh...
00:13:22Is she still here?
00:13:24Is she still here?
00:13:26No, no, she's gone.
00:13:29She's pissed at me.
00:13:34Hey, Jerry?
00:13:36Yeah?
00:13:38If you could, uh, change the past, would you?
00:13:44Well, I think that's a pretty interesting question to ask a guy who's on his way out the door after so many drinks.
00:13:49But, to answer your question, I guess...
00:13:53It would depend on whose past you want to change.
00:13:59Good night.
00:14:06Well, I don't think you went out with her just the one time.
00:14:15Night.
00:14:16Oh, Teddy, don't go yet.
00:14:18This just came for you.
00:14:21What is it?
00:14:23No idea.
00:14:33An invitation to the Campton Mall.
00:14:37Huh.
00:14:51Come on.
00:15:07Really?
00:15:08I talked to your secretary. I wanted to catch you reporting live.
00:15:11Okay. What can I do for you, Jack?
00:15:14Are you going to the Campton house?
00:15:16No. No, I don't think that I am.
00:15:19I mean, you seemed so interested in it before. Come on, let's go.
00:15:22I have a dinner tonight.
00:15:25Look, we'll zip up, we'll zip back. Worst case scenario, you'll be back before your dinner, right?
00:15:30Why is it that you want to go so bad?
00:15:32I have my reasons.
00:15:34Was it you that sent me the invitation?
00:15:38I have no idea what you're talking about, man.
00:15:42You know, most of what I found, I found myself on this case, right?
00:15:45Let me go with you, then. I promise. I can help.
00:15:48I like to work alone.
00:15:50You barely even noticed me.
00:15:52I'm going to regret this.
00:15:54Yeah. Most likely.
00:15:56If you're coming, you make yourself useful.
00:16:18I love you.
00:16:49Well, it certainly looks abandoned.
00:16:52Nobody's been here in years.
00:16:55What's that?
00:16:57It's the invitation I was talking about earlier.
00:17:00Maybe there's a broken window somewhere that we can get in?
00:17:04I don't know.
00:17:19Wow.
00:17:22Oh. Maybe someone was expecting us.
00:17:41Well, I guess that answers the question as to whether or not we're in the right place.
00:17:45I'll go look for some candles. Electricity.
00:18:12Jack?
00:18:15Jack?
00:18:46Jack?
00:18:57Have you always been in the habit of touching things that aren't yours?
00:19:03I, uh... No, I'm sorry. The door was open.
00:19:06On the guest list, I presume.
00:19:09Yes. I have an invitation somewhere. Jack must have it.
00:19:13I can leave you, Teddy.
00:19:18You know who I am?
00:19:20Of course. Do you know who I am?
00:19:25Uh, well, I'm guessing Lawrence Campton?
00:19:29So, you don't find it odd that you know me, but strange in that I know you.
00:19:37You have had too many to drink, my friend.
00:19:41Perhaps you should find yourself a cup of coffee to straighten yourself out.
00:19:45No, no. I'm just, uh... I'm just a little discombobulated.
00:19:50Well, if you're not drunk, perhaps you'll join me in becoming so.
00:19:59I have a nice old whiskey here.
00:20:02Actually, older than I am, which is saying something.
00:20:11Well, to the new year.
00:20:15To the new year.
00:20:23Well done, lad.
00:20:27I've yet to meet a writer without the hidden talent to be able to drink a great deal of alcohol when the booze is free.
00:20:34Why not sit down?
00:20:42So, what did you like to write, Teddy?
00:20:47Uh, scary stories, mostly.
00:20:51A man with a dark heart. A lover of Poe, are we?
00:20:57Yes, among others. He was certainly the most original amongst them.
00:21:02Deep within that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming.
00:21:14Dreams no mortal dared to dream before.
00:21:19Yes, yes. He had a lyrical quality to explain the darkness. I'm not sure we've seen since.
00:21:26He had a lyrical quality to explain the darkness. I'm not sure we've seen since.
00:21:32He was mad, you know.
00:21:34I've heard that.
00:21:37Men have called me mad, but the question still remains whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence.
00:21:53Well done. You are an aficionado.
00:21:58I've been here a long time with mostly books for company, and I think you'll find that I've memorized most of that library.
00:22:04Poe being the most ironic of the authors there.
00:22:12Oh, are you looking for your friend?
00:22:14Uh, yes. He went to go and search for candles.
00:22:18I think you'll find that you will no longer need them.
00:22:21Well, it was quite dark when we came in, and there was no power, so...
00:22:25Well, there's darkness everywhere, Teddy. It's whether you engage it or not.
00:22:37Do you know why I'm here?
00:22:39I know why you think you're here.
00:22:43But I'd be a poor host if I didn't remind you that some things should not be written.
00:22:50Not all stories should be told.
00:22:58You have guests?
00:23:00Of course. It's New Year's Eve.
00:23:04Today.
00:23:06What is the date on your invitation?
00:23:09December 31st, but that's...
00:23:12Well, there you go.
00:23:14You arrived on the date your presence was requested. How strange.
00:23:22Why don't you go off and enjoy yourself, son?
00:23:25Uh, you're not going to come with me?
00:23:28Why spoil the ending when you're only on the first page?
00:23:33When you're only on the first page.
00:24:04So you found the light?
00:24:07Yeah, in the basement.
00:24:11I was, uh, just talking with Lawrence Campton.
00:24:17Really? How is the old codger?
00:24:24He's a man with secrets, I can tell you that much.
00:24:29We all have our secrets, don't we, Teddy?
00:24:33You have secrets, Jack?
00:24:35You can't impugn a man's character for showing what we all have buried deep inside us, can we?
00:24:46You know what's funny?
00:24:48The smoking room is so well kept and the rest of the house is so...
00:24:52Well kept?
00:24:57Yeah.
00:25:00Yeah.
00:25:09What the hell?
00:25:12What the hell? I...
00:25:14I was just here. It was just clean and beautiful.
00:25:19I even had a drink with him here.
00:25:23This is my glass.
00:25:25Well, if you drank out of that, you did it a century ago.
00:25:30Are you sure you're not hallucinating? Because, uh...
00:25:36You definitely didn't drink from that.
00:25:40Something isn't right.
00:25:49Where's that coming from?
00:25:51Sounds like it's coming from everywhere.
00:25:53All right, you go upstairs, I'm gonna look over here, all right?
00:25:55Okay.
00:26:19Hello?
00:26:23Hello?
00:26:53Oh.
00:27:23Oh.
00:27:54Oh.
00:28:20Kenny!
00:28:23Kenny!
00:28:47I wonder why it is I love to look at you
00:28:53I can't imagine why I only know I do
00:29:00Though others may my charms deny
00:29:03And meanwhile your face is mine
00:29:23I love you
00:29:54I love you
00:30:06Kenny!
00:30:24I told you the dead are dangerous.
00:30:28Oh, God.
00:30:30What the hell got a hold of you?
00:30:32It's not a matter of what, but who.
00:30:37How'd you get away?
00:30:39Who says I did?
00:30:41She let me go.
00:30:46And what makes you think this is a she?
00:30:50Just a hunch.
00:30:52I don't know too many guys with nails like that.
00:30:58Yeah.
00:31:00Let's get the hell out of here.
00:31:09I saw her as clearly as I see you.
00:31:12I mean, she was dragged off into the dark.
00:31:14It's a big yard, so who knows where.
00:31:16I didn't see anything. No footprints.
00:31:18No proof that she was real.
00:31:20I think the scratches on your leg prove that she's real.
00:31:23Question is, why is she reaching out to us?
00:31:26Yeah, well, you're the dead seer.
00:31:28I'm the person just investigating the Campton murders.
00:31:31Campton deaths.
00:31:33There's no evidence to prove that they were ever murdered.
00:31:37I don't know.
00:31:38All these spirits hanging around, that make you think something?
00:31:41Sometimes when people pass, they stay close to a person or a place, right?
00:31:47These people died suddenly.
00:31:49We know that much.
00:31:51Who knows how they died?
00:31:53They do, I'd imagine.
00:31:57It's like I'm picking up on a psychic imprint.
00:32:03Violent events can sometimes leave a mark.
00:32:06Like a psychic mark.
00:32:08It's like a moment frozen in time.
00:32:11It's like I'm tapping into that.
00:32:13So, you've seen what happened that night?
00:32:20Yeah.
00:32:31Grab a seat.
00:32:35What are we doing?
00:32:37Waiting.
00:32:40For what?
00:32:42Well, if we just sit and wait, maybe Lawrence will show up.
00:32:48And what if he doesn't?
00:32:53It's the best idea I have. If you have anything to add, please.
00:32:59Does he just appear like magic, or...
00:33:01Just sit. Quietly.
00:33:05He'll read a book while we wait.
00:33:26People always wanted to look at my books, but no one ever bothered to look at mine.
00:33:31People always wanted to look at my books, but no one ever bothers to ask.
00:33:36Politeness seems to have skipped your generation.
00:33:40Come and join us, Jack.
00:33:46So...
00:33:48How's the party, Teddy?
00:33:52I haven't seen anyone yet.
00:33:54Oh, that's a shame.
00:33:56I know they're all here. Sometimes...
00:33:58Sometimes it takes people a while to come out and want to be social.
00:34:01What about the girl?
00:34:04Was there one specifically you were talking about?
00:34:07I'll talk from here, Jack.
00:34:10Lawrence, what's today's date?
00:34:14We've had this discussion before.
00:34:16How does one forget New Year's Eve?
00:34:20Are you aware of what happens tonight at your party?
00:34:23Um...
00:34:25Whiskey, anyone?
00:34:27Yes.
00:34:29What happened at your party?
00:34:32Well, it's only just begun.
00:34:36I think we'll know a lot more when it gets closer to midnight.
00:34:41And what happens then?
00:34:43Well, the new year. New lease on life, if you like.
00:34:48You were being coy with me earlier.
00:34:52Was I?
00:34:54And you're being coy with me now.
00:34:56I think your writer's imagination is getting the better of you.
00:35:01Would you like another drink?
00:35:03I think maybe we should leave.
00:35:05Why would we do that?
00:35:07Because someone's playing games, and I'm nobody's patsy.
00:35:10Oh, no game, Teddy. It's a festive occasion.
00:35:13Look, we are barely acquaintances, and perhaps I misread you.
00:35:17I meant no offense, but you came with someone unexpected,
00:35:20and perhaps I was somewhat rude.
00:35:24A lot of people die here tonight.
00:35:29That's an unfortunate twist of fate, isn't it?
00:35:32Do you not know? Do you not want any help?
00:35:35My.
00:35:37You must be quite the writer.
00:35:40I am on the edge of my seat.
00:35:44I was told you'd be entertaining, and now I can see that I will not be disappointed.
00:35:50But seriously, why don't you go and enjoy yourselves?
00:35:57Thank you for the drink.
00:36:01There's one thing.
00:36:05I have a mistress.
00:36:07You won't be able to miss her. She's quite lovely.
00:36:10But she's very emotional and prone to making scenes.
00:36:15A bit of a bad upbringing.
00:36:17So if you see her, please send her back my way.
00:36:21With discretion, of course.
00:36:25Of course.
00:36:33What the hell do you think that was about?
00:36:35He's testing us, that's for sure.
00:36:38I told you on the ride up. He's accused of killing his girlfriend.
00:36:41Maybe it's true.
00:36:43Well, we know he dies tonight, along with a lot of other people.
00:36:47When does he have the time to do it, right? And bury them.
00:36:51Maybe somebody else kills them all.
00:36:56What's that?
00:37:14Well, it seems the party has started.
00:37:18You wander around if you want. I'm going to go and chat with the bartender.
00:37:36Well, it's going to get you dirty.
00:37:40Ah, ginger ale?
00:37:43It's New Year's. I'm going to have a real drink.
00:37:48Ah, vodka soda.
00:37:56You work for Mr. Kemp?
00:37:59I do tonight.
00:38:02It's a small party for such a rich guy.
00:38:06There were dozens earlier, but there was a ruckus.
00:38:10Didn't get to see it.
00:38:12There's always a ruckus at these things.
00:38:16What happened?
00:38:19Rich folk bring their wives, but their girlfriends eventually follow.
00:38:25But the trains shall meet, as they say.
00:38:27But this time, this was about a boyfriend...
00:38:31who had no clue about her dealings with the old man.
00:38:35Disaster in the making, Teddy.
00:38:38Disaster in the making.
00:38:44So who is this mistress?
00:38:48She's the one that's dancing with your friend.
00:38:51Feisty girl, that one.
00:38:55Mr. Kemp was right.
00:38:58She's gorgeous.
00:39:01No use in having a mistress if you're using a step-up on the old lady.
00:39:05Wouldn't you agree?
00:39:07Hard to argue with your logic.
00:39:10Kerry.
00:39:12Unusual name.
00:39:14I'm an unusual guy.
00:39:17Can I get you anything else before I go?
00:39:20Where are you going? It's not even midnight.
00:39:25When your time comes...
00:39:29Your time comes.
00:39:32You all right, Teddy? I didn't want to offend you, I think.
00:39:35No, no. What happened?
00:39:38You gulped your vodka, then proceeded to land your head right there on the bar.
00:39:44Damnedest thing I ever did see.
00:39:48Didn't you just try and kill yourself?
00:39:52No, was I supposed to?
00:39:58Ever get the feeling that you're going mad?
00:40:01That which you mistake for madness is but an over-acuteness of the senses.
00:40:08Everyone's a Poe fan, I see.
00:40:11An excellent quote, nevertheless.
00:40:14Madness isn't something to sneer at.
00:40:17More often than not, it's wasted on the weak.
00:40:23You think so?
00:40:25I know so.
00:40:27So many people go mad and just end up in the sanitarium somewhere.
00:40:33What a waste when they're so close to touching God.
00:40:41I'll have to take your word on that one.
00:40:45I don't think I have what it takes to be a madman.
00:40:48Madness is a gift. I don't mistake it for anything else but.
00:40:53How often is greatness achieved when sanity is removed from the equation?
00:41:00I think I'll leave that to greater minds than mine to decide.
00:41:05As you wish.
00:41:08Did you see my friend?
00:41:10I believe he left shortly after you passed out.
00:41:15Did you see where he went to?
00:41:22I don't know.
00:41:52I don't know.
00:42:22I don't know.
00:42:53Hey, what's going on with you, man?
00:42:55Where is she?
00:42:57Who?
00:42:59Campton's mistress. Where is she? I saw you dancing with her.
00:43:02I don't know where she is.
00:43:03Bullshit! Look at this blood. It goes all the way from the house to the lake. Now, where is she?
00:43:08What do you want me to do about it, man? Look, every single thing that you're seeing right now happened decades ago.
00:43:13We're just here to find out the truth.
00:43:15Nothing. You've got nothing.
00:43:18What is it?
00:43:20Why do you insist on coming along?
00:43:22Why does everyone know my name? Why are you always...
00:43:24I don't think I brought you here.
00:43:29I think you're dead, Jack.
00:43:32I know you're dead.
00:43:34And I think you had something to do with tonight.
00:43:36I think that you sent the invitation.
00:43:39I think that you're the guilty one.
00:43:41I think that all of this is a part of your plan to clear your conscience.
00:43:44When the game stops here, I don't know who or what you are...
00:43:47What I am is the only friend you've got here.
00:43:52Stay away from me.
00:44:07Who in the hell...
00:44:08It's not a question of who at this point.
00:44:10Edward's right. The visuals on this will be catastrophic.
00:44:14Your shareholders will be jumping ship at the first mention of a dead woman.
00:44:17I didn't have anything to do with it.
00:44:19You both have been within eyeshot of me all evening.
00:44:22Allowing her to come to your party in full view of your friends and family.
00:44:25Completely arrogant.
00:44:27Can you think for a minute your wife wouldn't run off with all your money?
00:44:29This is a disaster.
00:44:31Where's the woman now?
00:44:33She has a name.
00:44:35And I don't give a rat's ass what it is.
00:44:38Better for Edward and I that we don't.
00:44:40I got Carrick to put her in the pond. The body ended up there.
00:44:43If she's found, I'll assume that she's drowned.
00:44:46If there's a guard, he'll let it snow to cover up all the blood.
00:44:49The bartender.
00:44:51We always have a company man, Lawrence.
00:44:55Unfortunately, he didn't monitor your extracurricular activities.
00:44:59When did the murder happen?
00:45:01An hour or two ago, after this evening's incident.
00:45:05Fortunately for you, most people have gone home.
00:45:08Those that are left are drunk, therefore manageable.
00:45:13And for the price to build this place, you could have insured proper wiring.
00:45:19I'll look after it.
00:45:35Should I follow him?
00:45:37That's probably a good idea.
00:45:38What are you gonna do?
00:45:40I'm gonna talk to our host.
00:45:42He's either trying to bury the body and not find the murderer.
00:46:42Frozen over already?
00:46:45It really wasn't your day.
00:46:50Who's there?
00:47:02What the hell are you doing?
00:47:04Get this done.
00:47:06You scared the crap out of me!
00:47:12Go, go, go!
00:47:42Go, go, go!
00:48:13You're alive.
00:48:15Help me.
00:48:21I don't know what deal you made in hell.
00:48:23No, no, please. I don't know what happened.
00:48:26No, please. Please, you have to help me.
00:48:31As guard as my witness, you're an abomination.
00:48:34And if the dead do rise, they need to go back to whence they came.
00:48:40To whence they came.
00:48:46Please, don't.
00:48:56Your fear is ever so tasty.
00:49:03Beg for my mercy.
00:49:05Anything.
00:49:06Anything?
00:49:07Yes.
00:49:08Then die, I love.
00:49:28I know you're out there, Jack.
00:49:31I might save you to the very end.
00:49:34So I can watch the life drain out of you.
00:49:48What the hell happened?
00:49:50You should know. You've been here all night.
00:49:52If you are trying to torment me...
00:49:55Look, I don't know what's going on, but I'm trying to understand.
00:49:59So let me help you.
00:50:02Who would do such a thing?
00:50:06Well, let's start with who found her.
00:50:09Edward, I believe.
00:50:11Edward? I don't know him. Do you think that...
00:50:13That Edward would kill my mistress?
00:50:16Nonsense, nonsense. He's an old man.
00:50:19Well, plenty of old men throughout history have done horrific things, especially to protect their interests, so...
00:50:24His interests are to protect me, and I highly doubt that he would have committed such a heinous act.
00:50:30I'm not saying he's a saint, but...
00:50:33No.
00:50:34Where is he now?
00:50:43Oh, God.
00:51:01What in God's name I...
00:51:12I wasn't the one who killed you. I had nothing to do with it.
00:51:15If it's vengeance you want, so be it, but you'll get nothing here.
00:51:22Who was I to you, Edward?
00:51:27You were Laris Orr.
00:51:30Orr?
00:51:31Yes.
00:51:32Orr.
00:51:33What were you thinking, bringing your man to your benefactor's home with his wife present, flaunting in front of everyone?
00:51:42So a man can have two women, but a woman can't have two men.
00:51:46Oh, Edward.
00:51:48It was your man that did this to you.
00:51:52The whore killed by her jealous boyfriend.
00:51:56Thanks for the heads up. I was too busy being beaten and strangled to notice.
00:52:02Yes, well...
00:52:05That will be your undoing.
00:52:10You're assuming that I'm not already undone.
00:52:19You're a wonderful dancer.
00:52:23Now let the life in you bleed out.
00:52:29Feed me, Edward.
00:52:31Let me take the life from you, just like you all took from me.
00:52:38I can't see.
00:52:42I see only darkness.
00:52:47Don't let me suffer, please!
00:52:51Never to suffer is never to have been blessed.
00:53:09And that's Edward, I'm assuming?
00:53:11What on earth is happening here?
00:53:14It seems you have a murderer on the loose.
00:53:16Or a very pissed off ghost.
00:53:19Do you have any weapons in this house?
00:53:21None, aside from an old revolver, but that's in the master chambers in the night table.
00:53:28But I believe...
00:53:31What?
00:53:32That my wife might have ended up there.
00:53:36I think it's highly doubtful that she would have left the house after the debacle earlier.
00:53:41No matter what the others are saying.
00:53:43She is emotionally fragile and difficult to deal with.
00:53:47At the best of times.
00:53:49You mean to tell me that you have a murderer on the loose in your house and you haven't bothered to go check if she's safe?
00:53:54Have you all gone mad?
00:53:56Perhaps the house induces madness.
00:53:59I do not know.
00:54:01But I would advise you to use caution if you look for her.
00:54:05And why would anyone be afraid of a 70 year old woman?
00:54:35Mrs. Camden?
00:54:36Mrs. Camden?
00:54:56Mrs. Camden?
00:54:57Mrs. Camden?
00:55:05Mrs. Camden, are you all right?
00:55:13Ma'am, there was an injury to one of your guests tonight.
00:55:17I just came up to check on you.
00:55:20Was it serious?
00:55:23I'm afraid so. Someone died.
00:55:28Dear, a dreadful night.
00:55:34Yes, it is. Look, do you need anything? Would you like to leave?
00:55:38Leave?
00:55:40Oh no, this is my home.
00:55:44I'll still be here well after all of you have gone.
00:55:49Well, did you see anything weird tonight or hear anything unusual?
00:55:54Was it the young girl who died?
00:55:56Yes, one of them.
00:56:01Hopefully it was the bitch that was screwing my husband.
00:56:11I beg your pardon?
00:56:15So it was.
00:56:20Look, ma'am, a woman died tonight.
00:56:24In your home.
00:56:26I was told a long time ago not to say bad things about the dead.
00:56:33She's dead.
00:56:36Good.
00:56:40You look disappointed, son. Don't be.
00:56:43Human nature allowed her to do what she did and God's good grace gave me the right to despise her for it.
00:56:50Well, there's something darker going on here and I think you know that.
00:56:54Darkness follows the human soul.
00:56:57In this life and beyond, I'm comfortable with the choices I've made.
00:57:04How about you?
00:57:07I don't know.
00:57:13The killer looked an awful lot like you, didn't he?
00:57:16The killer looked an awful lot like you, didn't he?
00:57:20No. No, that's not true.
00:57:23We all meet the maker one time or another, Jack.
00:57:27It's just that some have a better story to tell.
00:57:47Who are you?
00:57:49I'm a friend of Teddy's.
00:57:51How'd you get in here?
00:57:53Oh, it wasn't that hard to track.
00:57:55I talked to his secretary.
00:57:58I guess you could say I'm attached to the guy.
00:58:01Maybe you could tell me about your books.
00:58:04In your first edition on those shelves, I began collecting in my youth.
00:58:12Is there anyone that sells them?
00:58:15No.
00:58:17I don't think so.
00:58:19I don't think so.
00:58:21I don't think so.
00:58:23I don't think so.
00:58:25I don't think so.
00:58:27I don't think so.
00:58:29Is there anyone that's your favorite?
00:58:32Oh, many.
00:58:34Words are God's greatest gift to man.
00:58:38Please feel free to peruse if you wish.
00:58:50A real who's who of the written word.
00:58:53Oh, yes. And you'll find yourself on those shelves as well.
00:58:57Me? Maybe someday.
00:59:00No, perhaps not. I believe it was one of the novels you pulled off the shelf earlier.
00:59:16Theodore Russell.
00:59:22Right, that can't be.
00:59:23A little lyrical for my liking, but prose is strong and true.
00:59:30Very good first work. You should be proud.
00:59:32No, I'm a horror writer.
00:59:34Horror writer?
00:59:36No, no, no, no. There's nothing of that kind of trash in there.
00:59:39No, I'm a journalist.
00:59:41No, you're neither of these things.
00:59:43Enough with the drink.
00:59:45The night is raging on as it is, and I don't need a drunken author in my midst.
00:59:50Especially one with a goddamn temper.
00:59:53No, no, I'm investigating all of the deaths of everyone at Campton House.
00:59:58Everyone at Campton House?
01:00:02Yeah, my invitation. It was real.
01:00:05Why wouldn't it be? It's a party.
01:00:09We like to invite noted authors and businessmen.
01:00:14But had I known that you were dating my mistress, I might not have extended the invitation.
01:00:23And then knowing your reaction.
01:00:27I've always been told that the line between genius and madness is a fine one.
01:00:35And you are living proof of that, my friend.
01:00:48So you're the ghost guy.
01:00:49Yeah, I'm the author that's investigating the Campton murders.
01:00:53No, you're the guy that's got them all crazy.
01:00:56You know he thinks he's you, right? He's the investigator.
01:01:01Yeah, yeah.
01:01:03You just couldn't leave well enough alone, could you? Why?
01:01:07It's an important historic event.
01:01:09No, no it's not. It's hell. It's like living in hell. As a matter of fact, it could be hell.
01:01:15You know that I'm tied to him, right?
01:01:16That we're all tied together in some universal, karmic, bullshit way.
01:01:20And now he's gone mad and has no memory of it, but he gets to leave.
01:01:27Which means I get to break out too.
01:01:32I'm just trying to find the guy that wrote Home, man.
01:01:34Right, right. And make a little bit of money off your bullshit book.
01:01:39Yeah, of course.
01:01:40Of course.
01:01:41It's what I do. But listen to me.
01:01:43Yeah, of course.
01:01:44Of course.
01:01:45It's what I do. But listen, I had no idea what was going on here.
01:01:48Right. But you can still leave. You can still go back to your bullshit existence.
01:01:55I can't. We can't. So believe me, if I can't go, you're not going anywhere either.
01:02:13Hello, love.
01:02:39Hello, love.
01:02:43Come to finish the job, have you?
01:02:46Seems like a fair deal.
01:02:52I am not the moral arbiter here, Zoe.
01:02:56Who knows what's fair in God's eyes.
01:03:00I've done a good amount of bad in my life to go with the good.
01:03:06My demise will neither improve my lot or yours, I suppose.
01:03:11But, uh, there's something really juicy about revenge, isn't there?
01:03:19That feeling of power one gets from returning the hatred you feel was directed at you.
01:03:27I was not responsible for your death.
01:03:31Nor were the many people, I'm afraid, you killed all in your vain and impossible search to silence the voices in your head.
01:03:41Hate binds the souls of people together.
01:03:48This may not be what they teach you in the Bible.
01:03:52It's a fact, nonetheless. Wars are fought over nothing more than a slight between one madman to another.
01:04:01Take me if you must.
01:04:04But our souls will be forever entwined.
01:04:10Always connected.
01:04:13For even if your evil haunts me for eternity, my good will haunt your soul.
01:04:27Sounds good to me.
01:04:29See you on the other side.
01:04:41Fuck!
01:04:47I told you, I am not staying here.
01:04:51I'm not staying here, you understand me?
01:04:54I told you, I'm not staying.
01:04:57You're going after me.
01:05:03You're almost there.
01:05:11Fuck!
01:05:26I only grazed him.
01:05:30He's got a hole in his chest.
01:05:32Yes. Like I said, I grazed him.
01:05:36I'm not sure what your definition of grazed is, but thank you.
01:05:41He's not dead. So get yourself to wherever it is that you need to go. I can shoot him again if you like.
01:05:47No, no. Get to your room. It's safer there. She's going to come after you, you know that.
01:05:52Well, this kitty has claws, too.
01:05:55I have no doubts about that, ma'am.
01:06:06Fuck.
01:06:19I don't remember this.
01:06:22Fuck.
01:06:34I've got to get a couple of bottles up at the cellar. Can you guys keep an eye on things for me?
01:06:39Absolutely. Of course.
01:06:49You're going to get yourself into trouble doing that.
01:06:52This stuff's all free. I mean, come on, who's going to see it? The old man? The guy never comes out of his room.
01:07:01That is kind of wild, isn't it?
01:07:04I've never understood rich people. I mean, I live two classes below them. Sadly, I'll never have enough money to be that eccentric.
01:07:12If you don't dance with me soon, I'll find someone else who will.
01:07:16Your lady is quite the stunner. Wow.
01:07:22Yes, she is.
01:07:29She's quite a beauty, isn't she?
01:07:33Mr. Gampton's a lucky man.
01:07:37What?
01:07:39That's the boss's mistress.
01:07:42That girl?
01:07:44That girl, Zoe?
01:07:46Yes. Edward was all upset about it earlier.
01:07:52He's one of Gampton's partners. He was furious that she showed up here tonight.
01:07:58The old man is hiding out in the study to avoid a confrontation between her and the wife.
01:08:14What are you going to do about that?
01:08:17She let you bring her here, and he screws her here.
01:08:25Are you going to let her get away with that?
01:08:40I guess not.
01:08:43What?
01:08:49What are you doing? Let me go.
01:08:51What kind of game are you playing?
01:08:53I'm sorry. He's had too much to drink.
01:08:55What, are you playing me for a fool?
01:08:57What are you talking about, Teddy?
01:08:59You and Gampton. What, are you sleeping with him?
01:09:01No. I did in the past. Now please stop it. It's long over.
01:09:07And you let me bring you here. What kind of a twist is this?
01:09:09This was important for you, and maybe I wanted to show him that it was over.
01:09:14That I've moved on. I don't need him anymore.
01:09:18You used me? I can't believe it.
01:09:23Are you a child? When did this become about you?
01:09:27Has jealousy eaten up all of your common sense?
01:09:30You came here with me. You're leaving with me.
01:09:32What I did in my past is none of your goddamn business.
01:09:39No!
01:09:45Stay down.
01:10:09No, you stay down.
01:10:29What are you all looking at?
01:10:40You deserve that.
01:10:43You are just like your father.
01:10:47What did you just say?
01:10:49A bully with smallness between the legs.
01:10:53Now you're finally daddy's boy. Like father, like son. Congratulations.
01:10:59Shut up.
01:11:01Shut up? I'm not going to shut up. I'm going to scream it from the rafters.
01:11:04I am not going to scream it from the rafters.
01:11:06I'm not going to shut up. I'm going to scream it from the rafters.
01:11:09I am not my father!
01:11:13No, Teddy. You're worse.
01:11:16You're a man so afraid of his father that you became him.
01:11:20Now he might have been an asshole, but you chose to be one, and that's the difference.
01:11:25You're a weak little man.
01:11:31I am not weak.
01:11:32I am not weak.
01:11:35I am not weak.
01:11:39I am not weak.
01:11:43I'm not weak.
01:11:49I'm not weak.
01:11:53I'm not weak.
01:11:55What are you looking for?
01:11:57No, this girl is my witness. I don't remember killing her.
01:12:01What do you remember?
01:12:03I remember hitting her. I did that.
01:12:06You can't connect the dots between hitting a woman and killing her?
01:12:09It's against my nature to have even hit her.
01:12:11Yeah, that's what they all say, Teddy. Yeah, it never happened. It was my first time.
01:12:15It was my first time.
01:12:17There's always a first time, Teddy. That's the fucking point.
01:12:21There's got to be more to it.
01:12:23There's no way I threw away so much for so little.
01:12:26Yeah, what if there's not more to it, huh?
01:12:28What if the reason that all of this is happening is because you can't handle the truth?
01:12:33The truth?
01:12:35You have no right to talk to me about the truth.
01:12:38You're the one who fooled me into thinking that I was you.
01:12:40My truth is not what's keeping you all stuck here.
01:12:43Do you know what the madman and the deadman have in common, Teddy?
01:12:47See, they don't know that they're dead.
01:12:49Or mad.
01:12:50I'm not mad.
01:12:52I'm not.
01:12:53Then tell me what happened.
01:12:55Nothing.
01:12:57Nothing happened.
01:12:58I need you to remember or else this is going to continue to happen over and over and over forever.
01:13:03For God's sake, Teddy.
01:13:12Hey.
01:13:15Why don't you stand there?
01:13:17Why don't you stand there?
01:13:19Grab a leg. Come on.
01:13:36Why are you here?
01:13:39You know, Teddy, I don't think you're thinking straight anymore.
01:13:42And to be honest with you, you were much more interesting when you were completely mad.
01:13:47Did you kill Zoe?
01:13:48Me?
01:13:50Why the hell would I kill her?
01:13:52You just tried to kill Jack.
01:13:55Oh, buddy, that's called self-preservation.
01:13:58And he's not dead. He's just...
01:14:00He's just down for a bit.
01:14:04Is she here right now?
01:14:06Oh, yeah. Yeah, she's always here.
01:14:09So I'd mind your P's and Q's.
01:14:10I mean, you know we're stuck in this together, right?
01:14:12Over and over again. One continuous loop.
01:14:15All the time.
01:14:18I don't... I don't believe you.
01:14:20You don't believe me?
01:14:23No.
01:14:24You're just... You're just as bad as he is.
01:14:27You knew who I was. You let me go on pretending like I was somebody else.
01:14:30Yeah. And you know what?
01:14:32It was a nice break from living with the evil in this house.
01:14:35You, my friend, need to take responsibility for your actions.
01:14:38You, my friend, need to take responsibility for your own insanity.
01:14:44No. You can't put this on me.
01:14:47She... She was my girlfriend, and there's no way I would have killed her, but you...
01:14:51Ladies and gentlemen, Man Teddy is back!
01:14:54We'll be back at the bar before you know it, right?
01:14:57No. I'm not...
01:14:59Oh, yes you are. Fully and completely.
01:15:03And you know what?
01:15:05Between friends, that was your most endearing quality. It really was.
01:15:10Shut up.
01:15:11No.
01:15:12Shut up.
01:15:13No, no, no. See, I'm not going to shut up.
01:15:15Because you're the reason that I'm here.
01:15:17So I'm going to talk as much as I want.
01:15:20Shut up.
01:15:22All of you just shut up. All the voices just need to stop. Just shut up!
01:15:25There you are. Keep reaching.
01:15:27You're almost there, man. Keep reaching. Just reach for that door. You're almost there.
01:15:32What are you going to do, Teddy, huh?
01:15:34What are you going to do?
01:15:36Are you going to kill me?
01:15:38Yeah, I'd like to see you try.
01:15:42You're just a pathetic little worm.
01:15:47Sorry.
01:16:01Shut up! Shut up!
01:16:02Shut up!
01:16:03Shut up!
01:16:04Shut up!
01:16:05Shut up!
01:16:06Shut up!
01:16:07Shut up!
01:16:08Shut up!
01:16:10Shut up!
01:16:11Shut up!
01:16:12Shut up!
01:16:14Shut up!
01:16:15Come here.
01:16:16Stop.
01:16:17Come here.
01:16:18Come here.
01:16:19Stop!
01:16:20Stop, please!
01:16:21I'm going to let you go.
01:16:24Please, stop.
01:16:25Stop it, Teddy.
01:16:27Stop!
01:16:28Teddy, please, stop!
01:16:30Oh, my God, Teddy!
01:16:31Teddy, stop!
01:16:36Happy New Year, my dear.
01:16:39Happy New Year.
01:16:51You done yet?
01:16:58You have no idea what it's like.
01:17:00What, to accept my own madness?
01:17:02You're right, I don't.
01:17:04But we've come to a conclusion, haven't we?
01:17:07Mystery solved.
01:17:09The world goes on.
01:17:12Why show me this?
01:17:14Why are you trying to solve a mystery that happened decades ago?
01:17:18A lot of people died, Teddy.
01:17:20A lot.
01:17:22And if you don't see that you're the leader...
01:17:23That's not on me.
01:17:24I didn't kill most people.
01:17:26That's on her.
01:17:27That's on her.
01:17:28I didn't ask for any of that.
01:17:30If you don't start the chain of actions, then nothing else happens.
01:17:32Everyone lives.
01:17:34The evil that's in this place was created by evil, Teddy.
01:17:39That's how it works.
01:17:42What are you going to do, huh?
01:17:44How are you going to punish me?
01:17:46Punish the undead?
01:17:52The universe has far worse to offer than anything I can do.
01:17:58I did what a thousand men would do.
01:18:01And have done.
01:18:03That still doesn't make it right, Teddy.
01:18:07Help me!
01:18:09Jack!
01:18:10I can't.
01:18:11Jack!
01:18:12Your fate was sealed long before I was born.
01:18:13Please help me!
01:18:14Jack!
01:18:19Jack, please!
01:18:27Jack!
01:18:57Jack!
01:19:27Jack!
01:19:57Jack.
01:20:13Good morning, Miss Danner.
01:20:14Good morning, Jack.
01:20:15Welcome back.
01:20:16Thank you very much.
01:20:17Any clients?
01:20:18Uh-uh.
01:20:19Ah, that's exactly how I like it.
01:20:20Nice and quiet.
