you

I wonder where little girls go when they die.

It was my day.

Anything I wanted.

I swear, you are such a little hair factory.

Between you and Ben, I'm never going to get this house clean.

Well, don't mind me.

Damn it, Ben. You scared the crap out of me.

Now what?

It's everything, Stacy.

You, that dog.

Everything is out of order. Out of its place.

Let me show you again.

Everything must be stacked perfectly.

With exactly one pinky's width between each row.

Your pinkies are smaller than mine, so you'll have to adjust for that.

Got it?

Maybe this will work.

Anyway, I fixed it this time.

But please, be more thoughtful in the future.

You know, you're amazing.

Not a single can out of place, but you can't lift a finger to help clean the

house. My house, my dirt.

I thought it was Mom's house.

It was.

Ben, you've got to be realistic. I can't stay here forever and just keep taking

care of... No one is asking you to.

Ben, you've got to learn to take care of yourself or go somewhere someone else

can.

If you would just let me try a little bit of behavioral therapy, I know that I

would be... Don't analyze me.

I'm not one of your case studies.

Now please, keep that slobber bucket away from me.

Good boy.

Oh, what are we going to do with him?

The Caged Family by Stacy Lynch, Ph .D., Research, Chapter 1.

Subject has OCD and multiple phobias, the most severe of which is agoraphobia.

Subject has been unable to leave his house for 23 years, not

even to attend his mother's funeral.

Oh, that's pretty screwed up, isn't it, boy?

Hmm?

What are we going to do with him?

Well, I don't know, but we're going to have to try to fix him. But for now, we

need a break.

Who wants to play ball?

Go get your ball.

Go get your ball.

Give me your ball.

That's a good boy.

All right already.

Duke, I just swept the porch.

You better run.

This is not okay.

Get it off.

in this house right now, Benjamin Lynch. You filthy little boy. You'll catch

your death.

Now there's my sweet, clean son.

My coconut water supply is depleted.

You were supposed to buy more yesterday.

What are you talking about? There's like 20 bottles in there.

Those are for my smoothies. You know that.

You have to go to the store now.

What if the weather is bad tomorrow or the car won't start?

Anything could happen.

It must be stocked now or I won't be able to sleep. I'm not doing it.

I'm not driving 20 miles to buy you the same thing you already have.

Drink the left side water, please.

Fine.

I'll just dehydrate then.

You're so selfish.

Selfish? I dropped everything to come here.

My practice is hemorrhaging money so I can be your maid and plan a funeral for

woman I couldn't stand.

And there's another thing.

I asked you to put fresh flowers on her grave two days ago.

Would you look at yourself?

You don't have a life because of Mom. How can you still care about that crazy

woman? She wasn't crazy.

She felt things.

She knew things. She knew how to control you. She just wanted us to be safe.

You never understood her or me.

You left the first chance you got.

Please, Dixie.

She's our mother.

I'd take them myself if I could.

Just so you know, I'm not doing this for you.

I'm doing it for Ben.

You know, you really screwed him up.

And you were okay with it. Because as long as he was sick, he was never going

leave you.

But guess what? Now you're gone and he's alone.

And now he doesn't have the life he deserves.

But you know what, Mom? I am going to change that and give it to him.

Are you okay?

I haven't felt this good in years.

Coconut water's on me.

Get him off of me. Come on, dude. Get him off of me. Come on, boy.

Let's go. Outside. Outside. What are you doing? Come on. Let's get outside.

Dude, come with me.

Dude, this way.

Come on now. Ben's not in a mood. Let's go outside. Good boy. That's a good boy.

Come on.

Do you see what he has done?

He digs and he digs and he brings the outside in.

Look at this.

I'm sorry. He's a dog. That's what dogs do.

From now on, he takes out of the house.

The hair, the digging, the dirt.

No more.

We'll talk about this when you calm down.

Hey. Hey, calm down, boy.

Hey.

I've had enough. He's got to go. We've been here for two weeks without any

trouble. He's just acting out because you're so hostile. It'll pass.

Acting out or not, I don't care.

He goes.

Come on. You have to give him another chance.

He can stay outside.

But you have to clean my comforter. And I mean clean.

Boiling water and bleach.

Creepy.

Stupid dog.

Get the crap out of me.

I need my coconut water.

Stop creeping around.

I need my coconut water.

Fine.

Excuse me.

Don't worry, buddy.

Everything's going to be okay.

Yeah. Oh, okay. All right, honey.

You just behave until I get back. Mom will bring you a treat, okay?

All right. Be a good boy.

No, no, little girl.

You're going to get yourself killed.

And one for Duke.

Thank you.

Good boy.

Okay, stop it. Duke, stop it! Right now!

Stacy! Something's wrong with him!

Thank you.

Where is he?

I don't know.

He's out back somewhere.

Something is seriously wrong with that dog.

I don't know. He must be injured or sick or something.

I don't know. He's never done anything like this before.

I mean, he doesn't even chew squirrels. He's not normal.

I fed him two Xanax and he's more vicious than ever.

What? You drugged my dog?

How dare you?

I mean, he just probably had a bad reaction or something.

He tried to kill me.

Oh, my goodness. Xanax doesn't do that.

I'm calling animal control.

What?

We think he'd look off to die.

You just can't help being a dick, can you?

I have to find him.

Duke, stay.

No.

Duke, please.

Please don't.

Is he okay?

I don't know.

The collar.

I can't leave it there.

Will they let you stay with them?

They should.

I'll take care of things until you get back.

You take care of things?

You left me there.

I didn't mean to.

I froze.

You weren't too frozen to run.

I call you from beneath this cup of earl grey

And talk you through this simple heart of mine

And it stings my tongue

Go away.

I'm sorry.

Is there Xanax in it?

No.

I can't be the

Thank you.

You know, I'm really reluctant to ask, but it is very important. What, Ben?

You left my coconut water on the porch yesterday.

Now it is ruined.

You've got to be kidding me.

You simply take the left side waters and move them over to the... Is this a

game?

Are we playing a game now?

What have you done?

You've moved my water.

I haven't touched your stupid water. Why would I touch your water? So you

wouldn't have to go back and get more. You know, I don't have the energy for

this today.

I think we should talk about our situation.

I'm done discussing coconut water.

No, not that. I mean our living situation.

Well, you've been here for two weeks, and I don't feel like you're making an

effort.

Oh, really?

Wait. I have more.

First, you mock me, and you treat me like a child, and then you make me beg

a little help you do give.

I need you here for me.

And sometimes you're just plain hateful. Not trying?

Take a look in the mirror.

Hateful?

Sometimes. But you're ungrateful and lazy.

You know, and since you won't accept any real help from me anyway, maybe you

just don't need anyone here at all. So believe me, as soon as Duke's better,

we're gone. Wait.

I don't want that.

I'm sorry.

Let's just try to treat each other better.

Can we agree on that?

Sure.

Look, I need to tell you something.

Ben, I think you're getting worse.

I called a colleague of mine, Dr. Thompson, to come out and... No!

I'm not the crazy one.

Call him and tell him not to come. It's too late.

Well, when he gets here, then I'll just throw him out and... What is it?

Nothing. There's just a pretty girl standing in the doorway.

Mother isn't.

That's the doctor you're going to throw out on her ass.

Hi. How are you?

Oh, my goodness. Come in.

You must be Ben.

How are you?

I'm... Okay, we'll come back to you later.

Cool house.

It was a boarding school for girls.

It closed in 1919 when the headmistress hanged herself.

And you grew up here?

She didn't do it in the house.

Your brother seems so sweet.

Don't let him fool you. He's crazy.

Crazy cute.

Everything okay in here?

Look.

Somebody should check that out.

I guess it's up to me.

I guess I could go. Yeah, save it.

Stacy, please say something.

It's a spider.

I got it.

That's weird.

I don't see anything.

Sorry, I hate those little bastards.

Anyway, there's nothing out there. I mean, not a speck.

But I did find this really weird painting.

What's that thing in here?

Is that his mother's room?

That's where she died.

Pass. Anybody die on the couch?

So last night was pretty strange.

Does that sort of thing happen a lot?

Not so much.

Your house is kind of freaking me out.

I did some research.

Look.

They said that there was a punishment room where the headmistress locked up

little girls for days.

Not likely.

I know every inch of this house.

One of the benefits of being a shut -in.

Wait a minute.

That's her.

Stacy, that's the girl I saw petting Duke.

Her hair is cut up, but that's her.

See, she even has the leg brace on.

That photo was taken in 1919.

Third from the left, Abby Grace.

Hey, isn't that one of the names from your painting?

After they closed the school, it was sold as a private residence.

where in 1943, another little girl slaughtered her family.

Any good news in there?

Not really.

After she killed her family, she hung herself from your oak tree.

Wow. I don't get it.

How did the child manage to kill her whole family?

I don't know. I'm in a surprise.

I'm going to go in town. I'm going to go check on Duke.

You're going into town?

Yeah.

I'll get your coconut water.

Ben?

I'd like to help you with your issues.

Would that be okay?

Great.

So you said that touching was a major challenge for you?

Let's just jump in with both hands.

Sorry, hold on.

Okay.

So, when did it all start for you?

Like, what age do you think?

See, it's good.

It's good.

Ben, you're doing so good. Are you ready to take another step further?

Ready?

Good job.

And we're just going to take stuff.

You know what?

It's okay.

It looks like rain anyway.

Stacey!

Stacey!

Help me!

I'm in the basement!

I need a shower.

You need to check on him.

He's fine.

Just a little dirty. Hell, it'll probably do him some good.

Stacy.

You go.

You know that you check on him anyway.

Fine.

Ben, are you all right? I knocked, but you didn't answer.

It's the craziest thing.

I was reviewing the footage from the basement.

Well, let me just show you.

Footage?

Yes. Mother had cameras put in.

I swear.

I saw something reach from the shadows and grab me.

You believe me, right?

Of course I do.

I can't. I'm sorry. I can't.

No, you were traumatized. It was wrong of me.

You're so stupid.

So stupid.

You're so stupid.

Stacy, is there something wrong with your leg?

What the hell, Stacy?

You gotta be kidding me.

This is weird.

Even for his standards.

I can't even take this.

Calm down.

We'll just put everything back.

Put what back?

This is too much, Ben. Even for you.

You really think I did this?

Who else? You stack shit everywhere.

Everything's lined up perfect and organized, I'm sure, by some sort of

up logic of yours.

There must be a simple explanation.

You could have done it without knowing, Ben.

Me?

What about Stacy?

She's trying to drive me crazy so she can write about it in her stupid book.

Yeah, I know about that.

You should write about it yourself.

I'm not the one who had the breakdown.

Stacy? What happened when I was 17 has nothing to do with this, Ben.

You're just messing with me.

The video.

We can watch the video.

Holy shit, what the hell was that?

It's heavy grief, look.

Back it up.

You saw it, right?

Yes. Stacey, you too?

Yeah, right, Ben, this isn't funny.

I don't know how you did that.

Stop screwing with me.

I did nothing.

Come on, guys.

He rigged it somehow.

Just to get attention.

I believe him. What?

I'm not saying that he didn't do it, but maybe he just doesn't know that he did

it. Well, either way, I just can't do it anymore.

When Duke's better, I'm just going to put him in a facility and sell the

He's all the family that you have. Just don't make any rash decisions.

What if...

What?

What if he didn't do it?

How would you explain it?

I don't know. What do you think?

Maybe we have some kind of OCD poltergeist on our hands.

So you think my mother came back and rearranged the kitchen?

Maybe.

I'm going to go inside.

You coming?

Yeah, soon.

Okay.

How did she get out here?

me under.

And Ben said that somebody grabbed him and pulled him into the basement.

What is it?

I thought I saw Duke's reflection in the mirror the other night. I just

dismissed it. I just thought I was tired.

I know a guy. His name is Roman.

He's like a spiritualist.

I can call him. I don't know.

I don't think Ben would let anybody else in the house.

But think about it. Weird things are happening.

Duke, he's like the sweetest dog I've ever met. And he's trying to kill you.

I know, but the vet said it could have been Xanax. A reaction to it. Or there

could be some bacteria in the system or something. I just... Maybe it was.

But what if it wasn't?

Yeah?

Can I come in?

I'm sorry about earlier.

We all are.

Tell him to stay here.

I'll call him now.

You can use my phone.

It's the only landline we have.

Okay, I'll pick you up at the airport.

And Roman, thanks again.

I hope this works.

Yeah.

What the hell, Bridget?

Are you coming in?

In a minute.

Hey, guys.

What's he doing?

He said to give him a minute.

Anything? In a minute.

From what you've told me, I think you have a restless spirit.

A demon?

No. A demon is a whole different story.

A spirit is usually just looking to move on.

Move on?

To the afterlife.

When we die, one of three things happen.

Our souls go to heaven or hell.

Sometimes some things hold us here.

Very, very rare.

A spirit becomes violent or even able to enter the human realm again.

But if that's the case, why did it push me down the steps?

And me in the tub.

Rare, but not impossible.

There had to be evil and violence that contributed to their death.

A touch of darkness enters their soul.

and trapped it here it's consumed by evil and wreaks vengeance on anyone it

can connect to

Daisy! It's okay.

Everyone has their own beliefs.

Do we have a problem here?

Not sure.

I'll have to look around, see if I can determine what it is.

Can we help?

No. Just give me a couple of hours.

But what if it is the Vengeful Spirit?

Let's pray not.

I'm going to need my holy water for this one.

God damn it!

Not a very promising start.

I need someone to go into town.

I'll do it.

Take this with charge of the sacrament and fill it with holy water.

I wonder where little girls go when they die.

You okay?

I need to be alone.

What's going on?

Out!

Now!

Bless this home and all who enter.

Please cleanse this home of all stagnant and negative energy.

Fill this home with light.

Love and with positive energy of the highest vibration.

Bless this home and all who enter.

Please cleanse this home of all stagnant and negative energy.

Home with light and love and with positive energy of the highest

What's going on? You've got some serious shit going on here, man.

I tried, but I can't help.

What do you mean?

You need to get out. I don't get out.

I don't get out.

Calm down, Ben.

That's not an option.

Listen to me.

For your own safety, you need to get the hell out now.

I'm calling a cab, and I'm out of here.

No!

It's okay now.

I'm never going to leave you again.

We'll never leave this place.

And hurry.

Why was Roman's bag inside?

We've got problems.

Roman's gone.

What do you mean, gone?

I don't know.

He said he was calling a cab.

He wouldn't have just left his bag out there, would he?

Maybe he's still around.

We should look for him.

Maybe he changed his mind.

Yeah, Stacy and I can go look outside.

You just stay and look in here.

Roman, are you here?

Crap!

You want to go out and play?

What?

Maybe he just forgot his bag and got the hell out.

Stacy?

Stacy?

What the hell?

You shouldn't take things that don't belong to you.

There.

Oh, shit.

Shit, shit.

Where is she?

Where is she?

Ben, where is she?

Stacy, please stop this.

What are we going to do?

Let me think. Let me think.

We can't hurt her.

We just need to subdue her somehow.

She's alive.

Help me tie her up.

Line is set.

Anything?

Battery's dead.

I've got a quick charge adapter in my purse.

Shit.

What?

Stacey, how do you feel?

Are you ready to tell me where it is?

I know you've got it.

I heard it.

Little girl who lied.

Don't get in to heaven.

Abby Grace!

I know you're a good girl.

I know what it's like to be trapped.

Maybe we can help each other.

Come to me.

Come on.

We can be friends.

Tell me what you want!

happened to you. I know what you want.

You only know what I allow you to know.

See what I allow you to see.

Please.

Leave my sister alone.

Think of Duke.

He needs you.

Hey!

What are you doing?

That's my sister.

It's not Stacy anymore, Ben.

Let's just lock her up and get the hell out of here.

Come on.

We'll come back with help.

Here. Take it. In time, this one served you.

And look what you've let happen.

You've done this.

Not me.

Make it right then.

Do what you think you must do.

This body will die.

They always...

Thank goodness.

Are you all right?

I think so.

What are you doing out of the house? Later.

We need to find Stacy.

Where is he? I don't know.

Stacy!

Wait here.

You okay?

Stacy.

Stacy.

Stacy.

It's okay. It's okay. You're safe.

What do you want from us?

I told you, Abby Grace, music is the devil's tea. It will rot your soul.

Into the pit with it, girl.

What have we here?

Please, it was my mother's. It's all I have left.

Such a pity we lost another one to influenza.

It's over.

I'll check on you next weekend. Thanks, Bridget.

For everything.

Of course.

I'll walk you out.

I'm going into town.

Okay.

What happened while I was busy being possessed?

Way to go, little brother.

Can I get some help?

I don't think I can do much, but... Not you.

Oh, God.

I'm so happy to see you. Oh, my God.

Oh,

my baby.

Hi. Oh, my gosh. My good boy.

Baby steps.

Thank you.
