It never changes.

It's the same exact dream over and over again.

Now instead of once a week, it's every night.

And you say you never see anything

after the raising of the knife, huh?

No, not that I can remember.

But I do recognize the land.

I mean, I feel like I've been there before.

There's a large, long, dead tree trunk

in between a line of trees.

It's overlooking a valley.

I know I've been there before.

Maybe it's some childhood memory of unrequited love

that you've been fantasizing about.

You mean when I was a kid?

Yeah.

Yeah, Freud had a field day on that topic.

Please.

Let me ask you something.

You have any an affair, David?

No, Doc.

I love my wife.

All right, let me just rephrase that.

Are you thinking about having an affair?

No.

I'm not even thinking about it.

What the hell's happening to me?

Well, I would say that what you're experiencing

is some emotional trauma from a long time ago.

Now it's resurfaced, and that means you

have to face your demons.

How can I face them if I don't know what it is?

Excuse me.

Yes?

I'm with a patient right now.

Can you call me back?

Thank you.

Sorry.

Doc, I'm going to go find that place.

It may help me to find out what's inside of me.

I don't think that's a good idea at this particular time.

What you're experiencing is torment.

You may just wind up fueling that torment if you do that.

That's a chance I'm willing to take.

I can't live like this anymore.

Yeah?

Are you willing to take a chance with your own sanity?

What do you mean?

Look, I've had plenty of patients

who've chased their nightmares right into a padded cell.

What you need to do is you need to look inside and find

the solution within you.

I don't care what you say.

I'm going to find that place.

Well, like I said, I wouldn't do it.

But if you insist, I won't bother to say

I told you so later.

Well, I will see you next week.

Thanks.

Good luck.

In the ass.

Doctor J, I have your files.

Thank you.

Down on your knees it's time for confession

Tell me baby

You're only happy if you're my possession

You can sleep tonight

What's got you hypnotized?

Deeper than light

I can see the fire in your eyes

I can see baby

I've got you in my dreams

I can see baby

I've got the feeling you're mine

I can see baby

I've got you in my dreams

I can see baby

I've got the feeling you're mine

♪

You see me coming

Try to relax, have a glass of wine

I want you baby

Tied up in knots, know you're mine, oh mine

Play with matches

Now you've got a fire lit

You move me honey

Let me know you can't live without it

I can see baby

I've got you in my dreams

I can see baby

I've got the feeling you're mine

I can see baby

I've got you in my dreams

I can see baby

I've got the feeling you're mine

Honey, I know I sound like a broken record,

but I really think you're looking

for a needle in a haystack.

No, I'm not.

I feel like I've been here before.

Such a long shot.

No, it isn't.

I'm on the right track.

Look, I have to keep looking.

You're making yourself nuts.

You know that, don't you?

Tiffany, I haven't slept in days, OK?

Look, if this can help me remember,

then it'll all be worth it.

Please, just bear with me a little while longer.

If we don't find anything, then we'll go back, OK?

OK.

Sorry to be difficult. Let's take a look around.

This could be it.

This looks like the place we used to go when we first met.

Yeah, it does.

God, I wish we could go back to those carefree times.

Well, we can, honey.

It's just a matter of how we think.

Yeah, well...

My thinking has been clouded lately with a distorted reality.

We're gonna work it out, honey.

Remember how much fun we used to have in the woods?

Yeah, I do.

That was fun.

Yes, it was.

Just like the old days, huh?

That's it.

What's it?

Look, over there.

That's the dead tree, the one in my dream.

No, what? Are you sure?

I'm positive. I've seen it every night for a month.

Honey, this is the break I needed.

What significance does a dead tree have?

Hopefully enough to lead me to the answers to end my nightmare.

Come on, honey, we have to keep looking.

Okay, sweetie, you're really starting to scare me a little.

Let's just go home.

No, we can't go back now.

I feel like I'm so close. We have to keep looking.

Please, just give me a little more time, okay?

Yeah, okay.

Well, keep looking.

Okay, what's wrong? I don't know

We had a gas no, it's got plenty of gas I filled it before we left

well, then

Why did it stop?

You got me

I'm checking to the hood

Everything's fine. No loose battery cable.

The alternator belt is tight. I don't get it.

I wonder what it could be.

You got me. Sure is weird though.

Okay, try it again.

Okay.

No. Nothing.

Now what are we gonna do?

You have any cell service?

No, nothing.

We'll try to make a call anyway, you might get lucky.

Nothing, babe.

Well, I guess we're screwed.

Oh, maybe not.

Look, there's a house over there.

Let's go. See if we can use our phone.

It's pretty.

This is for you, Jenny.

I don't think anybody's here.

We don't know until we knock.

I don't think anybody's here.

Give him a second, Mr. Negative.

Hi.

How can I help you folks?

Uh, uh...

Our car broke down.

We can't seem to get any cell service up here.

Can we use your phone?

Absolutely.

Come on in.

Hello?

Well, here's the phone.

And this is the only tow service up here.

Oh, thank you.

What's the address here?

You won't need the address.

Just tell them you're at the Sanger House.

Everyone knows everybody up here.

That's convenient.

One of the great things about living in a small community.

Jim Taylor's Towing.

Hi, our car broke down down the road from the Sanger House.

Can you send a truck?

Well, sir, Jim has two calls ahead of you.

So it should be about two or three hours.

Two or three hours?

Yes, sir.

We have to pick up a stalled car on the other side

of Mount Pilot.

Is there another station close by?

Not close.

The next station is in Ferndale.

And that's about 40 miles from here.

OK, we'll wait for you.

We don't have a choice.

We'll get there as soon as we can.

OK, thank you.

Honey, we should get back to the car.

You don't need to sit in the car.

You can wait here.

That's awfully nice of you.

Not a problem.

We could use the company.

We do tend to drive each other a little nutty up here.

We really should go back to the car.

I don't want to miss the tow truck.

Oh, you won't miss the tow truck.

They'll come to the house.

Stay.

You'll be so much more comfortable here.

You know, she's right, honey.

We're going to be a lot more comfortable here

than sitting in the car for two hours.

OK, we'll stay.

So it's settled.

How about a glass of wine?

I'd love one, thank you.

OK, red or white?

Red, please.

Me too.

Why don't you wait on the patio?

I'll be right there.

Beautiful.

God, what an amazing view.

Here we go.

Thank you.

Oh, thank you.

And if you'll excuse me, I didn't get your names.

Oh, my God, where are my manners?

I'm so sorry.

I'm Tiffany Carter.

This is my husband, David.

Tiffany, David, I'm Lola.

Nice to meet you.

Oh, nice to meet you.

Are you alone, Lola?

No, I'm here with a couple friends.

We come up here every summer to work on projects.

Oh, what do you do?

We're writers.

What a wonderful place to write.

Yeah, I know.

I'm a writer.

Yes, it's great.

Very quiet and rather inspirational.

What are you working on?

We're doing research on a story of a mythological creature

that's been purportedly haunting these woods.

A creature.

Well, a ghost named La Cacana.

La Cacana?

A snake woman with wings.

Well, that's how the Mexican settlers in this region

referred to her.

That's fascinating.

So, how long have you been up here?

About six weeks.

We'll be here until the end of summer,

and then it's off to Africa.

Africa?

What an exciting life.

Yeah.

You know, as in any job, it has its ups and downs.

Yeah, but you work for yourselves.

There's got to be a lot of freedom in that.

Yes, you're right about that.

It gives us a chance to see different places

and meet lots of different people.

If you'll excuse me, I'm going to get the girls

and bring them down for dinner.

What is wrong with you?

I don't believe it.

She looks exactly like one of the women in my dream.

What? Oh, come on, David.

I'm serious. She even has the same hairstyle.

Oh, you're exaggerating.

I'm not exaggerating. She's one of the women from my dream.

No, I think you want it to be her so you can clear this up in your mind.

I am not making this up, Tiffany.

I think we should go.

Go? Where do you want to go?

I don't care. Anywhere.

What, you want to walk back to town? Because I think it's about ten miles.

Anyplace is better than here.

Honey, you're losing it.

You just need to calm down, okay?

Just settle in and relax a little bit.

Okay.

But just let me tell you about the other two women, okay?

He has arrived

Did he recognize you?

I think so

Good, that'll make this more interesting

Time is near

Now we will complete our final task

These are my fellow writers, Felicia Day and Rebecca Kahn.

I told you.

You were right.

Say hello to the Carters. Tiffany and David, is it?

Uh, yeah. David.

Hello.

Nice to meet you.

Hi.

Great place you got here.

Thank you.

I see Lola's been a good hostess.

Can we get you anything else?

More wine? An appetizer, perhaps?

Oh, no, thanks. I'm fine. How about you, honey?

Oh, no. Nothing from me. Maybe we should call the tow truck again.

Yeah. Well, it hasn't been two hours just yet, but go ahead. Be my guest.

It's dead.

What?

That happens up here every once in a while.

We get what they call a system brownout.

Well, how long does it last?

Sometimes two days.

Two days without a phone? How do you stand it?

You can't last two minutes without a phone.

Well, we get rather used to it.

No phones, no TVs. It's sort of a way of life up here.

Well, it's not the way I want to live.

Well, don't worry about it.

You could stay the night and try again in the morning.

Try again in the morning?

I thought the tow truck was coming today.

Oh, when the phones go down,

old Jim Taylor likes to check on the old folks in the valley first.

Make sure they're okay.

Sometimes they panic when cut off from the world.

Yeah, well, so do I. Won't he come up anyway?

Not likely.

Jim doesn't like to drive the winding roads after dark,

unless it's an emergency.

Relax.

Why don't you guys spend a cozy night here,

have a little dinner and maybe a romantic jacuzzi?

You know what? That actually sounds good to me.

I'm not really hungry, though.

I'm feeling a little woozy from the wine.

Yeah, me too. I feel like I should lay down.

Lola, why don't you show them to the spare bedroom?

I'd love to.

Why don't you follow me?

Whoa.

Whoa, careful there, big tiger.

Let's get you into bed.

Well, here it is.

It's tiny, but cozy.

There are extra pillows and fresh towels in the closet

if you need anything, anything at all, just yell.

We will.

A scream is more like it.

Oh, stop it.

But we're doomed.

You're overreacting.

You know, if you had these dreams, you'd act the same way, too.

Well, maybe you're a damn psychic.

Maybe you had a premonition about these girls, hmm?

Why couldn't it be a pleasant premonition?

I don't know, honey.

They seem like nice people to me.

So is Ted Bundy, and look what happened there.

Oh, you know,

one of your problems is trust.

You just...

You're way too negative about other people.

I'm just being cautious.

Paranoid is more like it.

You know, there's something so strange

about how they all look exactly like the women in my dream.

You know,

I think maybe the doctor's right.

Maybe you have a little pent-up sexual frustration.

Please, don't you start, too.

I don't have the energy to debate you.

Honey, I'm not trying to debate you.

I'm trying to seduce you.

Let's go out to the hot tub and ease some of your frustration.

No, honey, I can't.

I need to rest. I got a big buzz from that wine.

Look, you go.

Just be careful, okay?

Yes, Daddy.

I'll see you later.

Okay. Bye.

Let us interrupt.

Not at all.

Thought you recognized me when you came to the door have you seen me before

Yes, I have where?

My dream, I'm flattered. I've always wanted to be someone's dream girl

It wasn't just you it was all three of you stop

I'm getting jealous

Where these in your dream

No, but I wish they were

You

Does he know you?

Yes, he does. He knows all of us.

Do you think he'll be scared off?

No, he won't leave. He can't leave.

The potion I gave him is too powerful.

It'll last for days.

Good. Then we'll keep him at our trance for the next 24 hours.

Will he submit when the time comes?

Yes. He's a man with a man's desires.

What man could resist our affections?

None that are... still alive.

The flames burn with desire.

I feel your feelings, strike your feelings.

The flames dance in higher and higher.

From the darkness, a voice sings a voice.

You're not gonna get burned tonight.

Come closer, a little bit closer.

You're dancing to fire.

I want you to touch me.

Screw you.

Who are you? What do you want?

You must leave here. You must take your wife and go.

Go? Why? What do you know?

I don't have time to explain right now. You must leave.

No, I can't leave now. I have to stay. I need to find the answers.

There will be no answers if you don't go.

Cool.

Tiffany!

Tiffany?

Tiffany?

She went for a walk.

Can I get you some breakfast?

Why don't you just relax? She'll be back in a minute.

Tiffany! Tiffany! Tiffany!

Tiffany!

Tiffany!

Do it again.

Who the hell are you?

Who I am is not important.

This is your last warning.

You and your wife must leave immediately.

Why?

La Cacania's coming.

She's returning to claim you.

La Cacania the ghost?

Yes.

She will rise up again to take you if you don't go.

Take me?

What does a ghost want me for?

She wants your life.

She won't stop until she gets it.

That's crazy.

They're channeling me.

Their powers are too strong.

I must go.

Heed my warning, David Carter.

You must leave while you still can.

How do you know my name?

Please.

No, please.

Please don't go.

Run away, David.

Run.

You're in grave danger.

Where's Tiffany?

Easy, Mr. Carter. She's all right.

She's up at the house having breakfast.

I came up here to tell you.

Thank God.

What's the matter?

You look as if you've seen a ghost.

Yeah, well, maybe I have.

I saw this young girl and she was warning me of a...

A girl?

Yeah, a young girl.

She told me that La Cacania was coming for my life.

La Cacania?

That's a good one.

We'll have to put that in our book.

We must have met Holly Valance.

I don't know. She didn't say her name.

Pay no attention to her.

She's just some girl that's always making up stories,

always stirring up trouble.

But she said I was in danger.

In danger?

From a ghost?

She's always making up stories.

Last summer, she said she saw this three-headed dog

that was stalking the woods.

The year before that, it was a flying saucer.

She's a little deranged, if you know what I mean.

She didn't seem deranged to me.

Sometimes the insane appear quite normal.

Besides, the only thing that's dangerous in these woods is me.

I have to get back.

What's your hurry? Don't worry.

We serve breakfast till one.

Hi honey, I'm back.

Oh, hey babe.

Sit down, Lola's about to tell us the story of La Cacania.

I wish you'd tell me why the tow truck hasn't arrived yet.

Oh, shush. I want to hear this.

Well, La Cacania was supposedly a witch born at the turn of the 19th century.

She lived alone in these woods until the settlers moved in and took her land.

It was her land, but they stole it from her.

There was a mock trial and she was found guilty of witchcraft, sentenced to death.

They surrounded her cabin. They were too afraid to go in and take her,

so they burned it down while she was still inside.

And while the cabin burned, she screamed a curse and vowed to return

and take revenge on the heirs of the assailants.

For 200 years now, she's rumored to have appeared in several places in this area.

It's reported that sometimes she captures an unsuspecting camper or local

and makes savage love to them.

That doesn't sound so bad.

Not at first, but days later all the lovers died of massive coronaries.

Was she ever seen again?

People still see her ghost roaming the woods where she once lived.

Wow, that's fascinating.

So how far are we away from her former home?

Not more than a few hundred feet.

I still wonder why that tow truck hasn't arrived.

Who knows? Could be anything.

Sometimes when the phones go out, well, tow

truck has to double as an emergency vehicle.

You know, I don't even care about the truck anymore.

I just want to hear more about La Cacanha.

So where was the last sighting?

Felicia, why don't you show them the tree

where La Cacanha was last spotted?

I'd love to.

Not me. After the hike I just had, I need to take a shower.

David, why don't you go? You can tell me about it later.

You sure?

Yeah, that's fine. You can even take me up there later.

Okay. Let's go.

This way.

Beautiful walk.

I'll take you past the waterfall.

I was hoping you would.

Do you feel the presence?

Yes.

It's her spirit.

Two hundred years of waiting and wanting.

Yeah, I... I know this place.

Do you?

This is it. This is the center of my dream.

I'm here to make your dreams come true.

Tiffany.

Tiffany! Tiffany!

Tiffany! Tiffany!

Where the hell are you?

Tiffany!

Tiffany! Tiffany!

What happened to my wife?

They have her.

Who has her?

The daughters of La Cacania.

Where are they? Tell me!

Take it easy. She's all right. It's you they want.

Why me?

You're the last one.

Last one for what? What are you talking about?

You're the last remaining descendant from that fateful night.

Descendant?

Your great-great-grandfather.

He was the judge that ordered the execution of La Cacania.

Now she's returned to claim you.

Claim me? I didn't kill her.

It's part of the curse. She needs your blood to rust.

This is insane. Where's my wife?

You'll find her at the fire pit of sacrifice.

How do I get there?

It's down the ridge, past the tree,

where I saw you being seduced by Felicia.

No, wait. Don't go.

You're gonna need a weapon.

A weapon?

To kill La Cacania.

To kill a ghost?

You have to, or she'll kill you and your wife.

What kind of weapon?

A dagger, with a blade made of silver.

It's the only way to kill a witch.

I don't know how to use this.

When the time comes, you'll know how.

Now I'll take you. I'll take you to the fire pit.

Now, David. Do it now.
