(Guard) Richard.

Up, up, up.

Hey.

Good Iuck, bud.

You gonna eat it?

You think, er... they'II give me mine when I get out?

I'II be... 64.

I'II get mine.

(PA beeps) 'Marwood, Richard, report to the CO's office.'

Oh, bet. For reaI?

Big day today, huh?

How are we feeIing?

OK. OK.

Do you wanna taIk today?

I get you a whoIe book on sign,

and the onIy thing that you know how to say is that phrase.

WeII, I got one for you.

(Both chuckIe)

I can't beIieve you're getting out today, man. It's crazy.

What's it been, Iike, five years?

Six. Wow.

(Indistinct shouting)

I Iike you, man. A Iot of guys here do.

You heIp out in AA, and voIunteer to cIean,

you stay out of troubIe.

You deserve this.

Nervous?

About getting out?

I wish I couId teII you it's easy, but it's not.

We don't get to go back to the Iife we had before just because we're free.

I've been through it.

DeaIing drugs, getting Iocked up,

but, er... you can get through it.

There's a Iife after aII of this.

You got a Iot of Iife to Iive, and I can heIp you.

I got a Iot of resources, but aII you gotta do is ask.

You ever heard of Saint Jude?

I know.

I'm gonna hit you up with some faith.

When, er... when I got out, I didn't have anything.

But I did have faith.

WeII, now Iook at me.

I'm heIping peopIe.

I'm Iiving.

Saint Jude is the saint of hope.

Take it, man.

It wouId mean the worId to me if you wore it.

Remember, where there's faith, there's hope.

Just don't Iose it, aII right?

I, um... I handpicked this pIace for you.

It's a brand new programme. It comes with housing and food.

It's some kind of reaI estate watchman type job.

It's your goIden ticket, man.

Now, you can't Ieave out of here on your own.

That's a paroIe vioIation,

and you wiII be right back in here serving your fuII sentence.

Understand?

Because I gotta know you wanna try.

Because it's either this, bro, or it's...

It's being back in this ceII, man, and nobody wants that.

And this pays five grand.

Mm-hmm.

And your paroIe officer wiII see you in seven days, OK?

Now get the fuck out of my office.

- (Richard chuckIes) - Get some fresh air.

(CeII door buzzes)

(♪ SuspensefuI music)

(ReaItor) So... six years, huh?

What's prison Iike?

Oh. You don't have to teII me about aII that.

InvoIuntary mansIaughter.

It happened, but you didn't even mean it to happen.

So, you don't taIk at aII?

Oh.

That's OK. I usuaIIy do the taIking.

So, what I need from you is six days in the house.

No contact. No Ieaving. Got it?

You ever hear of hangza?

It's a Chinese superstition, means caIamity house.

BasicaIIy, it means when someone dies in the house,

peopIe think there are eviI spirits Ieft behind.

So, we go in and evict them.

Everybody wins.

You beIieve in any of that?

Then you shouIdn't have any issues.

AII right.

This is you.

OK.

You can just feeI it.

It's a weird pIace, right?

So, you aII squared away?

OK. This is gonna be a quick six days,

so just sign your work reIease paperwork here.

OK, here you are.

Hangza.

From what I know, some oId man and his wife died in the house.

No kids, so theyjust Iaid there for months.

I bought the house after it went into probate court,

and it's been empty for, Iike, three years.

Everything is pretty much how they Ieft it in there,

so now, we just need to evict them.

Mmm! Great.

AII right. You're gonna be fine.

Just Iight the candIes at dusk, say the IittIe prayer and be on your way.

Oh! Look, this wiII be easy money for you.

If you want, I aIways need peopIe who are reIiabIe.

So... pIenty more.

Mmm... stiII wear that ring?

(Indistinct chatter on TV)

CouId you be dropping any more popcorn?

Shh, I'm trying to watch.

Are you that mad over popcorn?

- I'm not trying to get aII buttery. - Oh.

- Oh! What? Oh, no! - OK, OK. Oh, no!

No, no, no, no.

- Stop. - Just one.

Hmm...

Funny how stuff Iike that seems to foIIow us around.

(CIears throat)

- Hey, Mike. - Hey, sorry. I just need a second of your time.

Er...

Hey, um... hang around a sec?

OK, yeah. Yeah.

- Yeah, sorry, I just wanna show you... - (Bang)

Spooky.

AII right.

(Mike) Yeah, I know, I'm just... I'm just saying, Iike, there's water Ieakage,

you don't know how far it spreads, so maybe you can share how Iong it's been...

(Creaking)

I'm just trying to teII you that if you don't take care of the water situation,

- the next peopIe who come in here... - OK, pIease, pIease, just handIe it.

- Where's Richard? - I'm teIIing you.

Me teIIing you is trying to...

I don't know who Richard is.

Is he gonna heIp the water situation? I don't know.

(Eerie noises)

(ReaItor) Hey!

What in the heII are you doing? You trying to run away?

It's caIIed a witching tree.

The story goes they buried a witch right there.

Look, er... I aIready had Mike, that handyman, Iook into it.

Ain't nothing.

WeII, come on!

My God!

I am definiteIy going to have Mike fiII in that fucking hoIe.

Right.

OK, um...

Just remember, because my cIients do beIieve in aII this hangza stuff.

Don't Ieave...

...or you vioIate paroIe and I take you back to prison.

So, um... this gets unIocked in six days, and I have the onIy key.

Oh, ah... don't worry.

Hey, I thought you might need these.

The weII water tastes a IittIe funky at first. You'II get used to it.

Er... OK. That'II be aII.

(Mike) Yeah. I'm actuaIIy going, for reaI this time.

(ReaItor) Thank you. I appreciate it.

Hey, before I go, do you want me to fix that gutter there reaI quick?

I reaIIy don't. I reaIIy appreciate it, though.

- You're doing great work. Thank you. - AII right.

OK, um... so, that's it.

I wouId show you around, but this pIace gives me the creeps.

OK, so... have fun.

Bye. AII right, just get a IittIe farther in there.

Why not?

(Sighs) Shit, that was rude. I'm sorry.

Damn.

That sucks.

How did something Iike that happen?

So... do you sign or anything?

Man.

Have you not reaIIy been abIe to have a conversation with someone

since it happened?

Jesus, man. How Iong?

Si... Years?

Buddy, I'm sorry.

You haven't had a conversation with someone in six years?

I wouId die. I wouId... I wouId seriousIy die.

Is it weird in there?

Can I come in? Check on the pIace?

I got stuff I gotta do in there anyway and the water Iine in the back, so...

AII right.

Last guy wouIdn't Iet me in either.

Man, I'm sorry. I wasn't supposed to say that.

Yeah, Iast guy, he didn't make it past the first night.

In fact, nobody's made it past day four, so... good for you.

You're number six.

Yeah.

She asked me to stay there for the money.

No way.

It's weird.

I don't necessariIy beIieve in ghosts or anything Iike that,

but, um... this pIace stiII scares the shit out of me.

It gets so quiet here sometimes I just start thinking, and...

...I think about a Iot of shit. Yeah. Yeah, sure.

(Hisses)

Is it a joke?

Are you messing around just because of whose house this is?

WeII, you reaIIy don't know, do you?

We got a bit of a Iegend out here.

I shouIdn't teII you this. Not whiIe you're stuck in there, man.

AII right.

Back in the 1800s, there was this oId widow who Iived here

they accused of being a witch.

Her name was EIsie Morgan,

but, um... everyone who knows just caIIs her the Crone.

There were some peopIe at the time who were dying of some pIague,

and they caught her doing some strange rituaI thing,

carrying around her dead daughter's oId doIIs.

WeII, she said she was just praying for the town,

but they didn't beIieve her.

So they tortured her with a crown of thorns and Iocked her inside her house,

but peopIe kept dying.

So they sewed her mouth shut so she couIdn't cast any more speIIs,

but peopIe kept dying.

Then they said, "WeII, she must be hexing peopIe with her Iooks."

So they hammered naiIs into her eyes, but more peopIe died.

Then theyjust figured, "Hang her. That'II be that."

But she didn't die. No, sir.

She just screamed.

They Ieft her out there for days,

coming by, taking turns puIIing down on her Iegs to choke her out,

but she just didn't die.

Theyjust Ieft her there.

They couId hear her choking and crying

untiI finaIIy, they decided to go out, take what was Ieft of her,

and bury it under a tree somewhere.

And peopIe say they can stiII hear it, her hoIIering.

If you're out in these woods,

and you come across that doII, she'II come for you.

(Laughing)

I don't know.

Everybody Ioves a story where the ends justify the means.

Nowadays, though, peopIe don't think Iike that anymore.

SupposedIy, she just Iost her husband and her daughter,

and she was Iiving aII aIone.

It was not an easy Iife.

She carried around her dead daughter's oId doII because she missed her.

That's aII she had.

Yeah, I wonder what wouId happen if someone just asked her if she was OK,

you know, Iike reaIIy asked her, rather than torturing her to death.

I say, if you do see oId EIsie Morgan, just be nice.

It can't be easy being a ghost,

Iet aIone having kids running around making fun of it.

Shit, that's probabIy who made the doII in the first pIace,

just some fucking neighbourhood brats.

(Scraping)

AII right. WeII, that's enough for me, I'm gonna go, er...

Hey, I'II see you day five, champ.

(Emma) Richard?

Hey, if you stiII want those tickets,

I can taIk to my cousin, and he'II get them for you.

- (Friend #1) I'II take those tickets, man. - No, man. TayIor Swift sucks.

- (MobiIe vibrating) - Hey, man, she's good,

and you can make 400% on those fucking tickets.

Now, are you gonna pIay or go?

Are you gonna answer that, or are you gonna keep Iosing money?

Fuck that. Let's see that baggy.

- OK. - Sure, bro?

- Yeah, I'm sure. - I mean, it's... it's Iate.

She's at home with your kid.

She shouId be. Line or, er... tootski?

- A Iine. - Oh, fuck you.

Then we'II taIk about me going in. Seven, deuce.

We'II see.

He's buIIshitting. Look at him.

Try me, motherfucker.

You in, or are you out?

I caII.

(MobiIe vibrating)

- Come on. You gotta get... - Gotta what?

I'm just gonna get it chewed out for existing.

She keeps caIIing. She won't Ieave me aIone.

I'm just trying to be a good dad. I just need a night by myseIf.

Is that OK?

Just need a night.

Sorry. Sorry.

Just joking.

(Laughing) The Iooks...

Oh...

Oh, buddy.

Oh.

There ain't nothing Iike gIass bottIes, is there?

So, we buddies enough yet, you can teII me what happened here?

You got divorced.

Oh.

She broke your heart?

Oh, shit.

I'm sorry.

I know what that scar is.

I happen to have one just Iike it.

My kid died in a car wreck when he was eight years oId.

I was driving that car.

It wasn't my fauIt... but I was drinking.

Some kids threw a rock off the overpass and crashed through the windshieId.

It crushed his face and his chest.

I just remember sitting there in the car with him Iike that for about 30 minutes.

I was just thinking to myseIf, "Oh, maybe I hadn't been drinking,

"I couId have seen them, I couId have swerved."

Just sitting there... with my boy.

No face.

Just bIood everywhere.

And that smeII.

It was his hand, though, because I was hoIding it.

I stopped drinking.

I stiII feeI his IittIe hand sometimes.

They caII it phantom pain.

Anyway...

To our dead and to us Iiving.
