[Benjamin] This is Doctor Benjamin Price, professor of ancient history,

log number four.

[inhales] The fabled Necronomicon,

The Book of the Dead, is not just a myth.

The Circle of the Wise Men have found it.

And despite my warnings, they read from the book's unholy passages,

unleashing flesh-possessing demons

so malevolent as though the devil himself were here.

God help us.

[unsettling music playing]

Log number five.

We found something.

An item of great power. Capable of sending them back to hell.

Should they return, I have hidden it behind rune and hex.

It must remain that way...

[unsettling music continues]

for if unsealed, they will sense it.

They will smell its call in the earth.

Taste it on the air.

And then, they will stop at nothing...

to destroy it.

[man 1 laughs] I know. Just a stupid motherfucker.

- [phone ringing] - Oh, my God. Don't tell me that's Emma, man.

- Don't answer that. - What if it's an emergency?

Leo, it's not an emergency.

She's just freaking out about this lake story.

Next time, please, you leave your fucking phone in the car.

- Okay? - Get off my dick, bro.

Come on. Let's get outta here.

[motor starts]

[phone continues ringing]

You gotta be kidding me.

[man 2] Come on. Don't answer the phone.

- I... - Don't answer your fucking phone, Leo.

I swear to God, if you answer that shit, I'm leaving.

Hold your ground, man!

[Leo] Hey, hey, babe.

- You fucking... - [Leo] Baby, how's it going?

Got a little something for the birthday boy here.

- [Joseph] Wow. - [Will] Okay.

- [Thya] Gorgeous! - Here we go.

Gone a little overboard,

- but you deserve it, huh? - [Alice] I love it.

- [Thya] Happy birthday! - Yay! Happy birthday!

- Yay! - [Will] Happy birthday, bro.

- I'll get us some more champagne. Betsy! - Uh...

No, Alice, Alice, Alice.

[whistles]

Come here.

What was that? Are you serious with that whistle?

No, I'm just playing, okay? But you're not listening.

This is our third bottle. Maybe we ought to just, you know,

- slow it down a little bit. - Yeah, it's Joseph's birthday.

We can get a little drunk.

Okay, okay.

Good vibes only, okay?

Let's, um, open presents.

Joseph,

happy birthday, bro.

This is, uh... It's from both of us.

[Joseph] You guys didn't need to do anything else.

[upbeat dance music playing]

Wow. Thank you, guys. This is...

Oh, it's... It's a pen.

Yeah, well, it's not just any pen.

That's a Belvoir.

These are, like, a thousand bucks.

- Yeah, more. But that is not the point. - [stutters]

I wanted to get it so...

You know, to encourage you to finally finish your book.

[Alice sighs] That's not very subtle, babe.

Well, to be fair, this is the fifth book that he's started...

Actually, it's the fourth, so...

- [man 2] That's the fourth? - Yeah.

Shit, man. I'm sorry.

But if you look at Alice, with her pictures, I mean, you know, they were fine.

Ever since I bought her that bad boy, the difference has been incredible,

and sometimes I think you just need a little nudge.

Yeah. Speaking of...

- And... Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta! - Another one.

- [Alice chuckles] - Okay.

- [Alice] Happy birthday. - [Joseph] I love the wrapping.

- [Thya gasps] No shit! - [Joseph] Oh, my God.

- [Alice] Yeah! - [woman 2] You look so cute!

Everybody looks cute in black and white.

You didn't tell me you were bringing your own gift.

- It's just a small something. - Yeah.

Nothing compared to your Belvoir.

Our Belvoir. I just said that it was from both of us.

Thank you, both. Thank you.

No, you're so talented.

- Oh... - Oh!

[both chuckle]

I always forget. You Americans like to hug.

The sister-in-law side hug.

Trying to kiss my boyfriend? What's going on?

Well, you know, we French girls like to give hand jobs when we say hello.

- Yeah, that's really classy. - [chuckles]

Yeah. Talk about subtle, Alice.

He's just upset because I brought my own gift.

[Will] What the fuck are you talking about? I couldn't care less.

[Alice] So why are you criticizing everything?

- [Thya] I'm not criticizing, but ease up on the drinking. - [Alice] Yes, you are.

- We're celebrating, of course I'm drinking. - I know we're celebrating.

Just fucking tone it down!

Okay.

I'm done.

- Cigarette? - [woman 2] Mmm-hmm.

Promise me we'll never get married, okay?

[dance music playing]

Look, dude, she... she didn't mean anything by it.

No, no, no, no, she... she meant it. Yeah, yeah.

She does this to rile me up. It's like this cigarette thing.

We're talking about having a kid and she refuses to stop. It's ridiculous.

[puffing] It's ridiculous.

Let it go. You know what he's like.

Um... Can I bum a cigarette, boss?

Mike, enough. I'm not your boss.

I just send out the checks.

You are the boss. Come on.

Aren't you freezing to death in that T-shirt?

[Mike] Nah, feels great.

It's an oven in there.

Plus, the music is way too loud.

- [Alice] Yeah, I keep telling him that. - [Mike] Mmm.

Yeah? No, go on, continue to talk shit about me to my staff.

[Mike] We... We're just talking.

[Will] It's cool, Mike. I know it's not you.

Alice, would you come back in, please?

Okay. Come here.

- [Alice] Don't touch me! - Hey, hey, hey, okay.

Just relax.

Don't make me out to be someone that I'm not, all right?

You're the one making a scene at my club.

And you make me out to be this hysterical drunk.

[Will] Hey, I'm sorry, all right?

Now come on, let's go.

- [sighs] - [Will] Hey, look at me.

Fuck, I just hate when you act like a fucking child.

Don't call me that.

Just fucking cut it out with this shit.

Don't touch me! I told you!

[Will] Fuck! [grunts]

See, you bring this out in me.

Yeah, I was never this way before, Alice.

None of my exes ever, ever made me blow up like this.

Why do you think that is?

If we can't talk,

then how do you expect to move forward, huh?

Huh?

[Alice speaking indistinctly]

Yeah, sure, run back to Mike.

Why don't you give him another cigarette?

How about a hand job too?

Go to hell!

[muffled dance music playing]

[Thya] Joe...

- Hey, no, Will. - Will, please, you're drunk.

Give me the keys. I'll drive you home.

Will!

[Alice's father in French]

[distant indistinct chatter]

[Thya in English] Are you taking anything for sleep?

Hmm?

None of it really works.

When did you guys get in?

[Thya] Couple of days ago.

Joseph sort of lives here now.

His parents basically gave him the vacation home.

Look up.

Since when do you have a gun?

That is not mine. [chuckles softly]

It's Joseph's.

[whispers] I think he wants to feel badass.

- Joseph? Badass? - [both laugh]

It's cute. [chuckles]

[Susan breathes deeply]

[Alice] Hi, Polly. How are you?

[Susan] She won't remember you.

But it's only been a year, though.

[chuckles softly]

[Susan] We must be the same size.

[loud drilling]

- [dog whimpering] - [gasps softly]

[in French]

[whistles]

[in English] Do you think that with the construction, that we can...

[manager] No, no, don't worry.

They promised me they would stop at noon,

and they should be wrapping up any minute now.

- We're gathered here... - [loud drilling in distance]

[in loud voice] We're gathered here today to celebrate the life of William Price.

To pay tribute, and to share memories of him,

because for as long as those memories live on...

[loud drilling continues]

William will always be with us.

I would now like to ask Mrs. Susan Price,

William's mother, to please share a few words.

Bonnie, what are you doing?

No, that's Susan, Grandma.

- Aunt Bonnie isn't with us... - [Edgar] Don't waste your breath on her.

[distant drilling continues]

William.

My sweet boy.

I could go on for hours about what an amazing child he was.

A model teenager.

And a man who made us so, so proud.

He was so enamored with French cuisine

that when he studied in Paris, he surprised us

by bringing home a French wife. Alice.

Will dreamed of starting a family.

[loud drilling in distance]

[voice breaking] You two would have made such outstanding parents.

[Susan sniffles]

And we could have been Grandpa Edgar and Grandma Susan.

I would give anything for us to be together again.

[manager] Thank you, Susan.

And, um, I'm very sorry about the... the noise. [clears throat]

[sighs] Alice.

Would you like to share something with us?

A special memory of your husband?

I... I didn't prepare a speech.

Oh...

Okay, um... Wow. Uh...

So...

I would like to play a song that held a... a special place in William's heart.

Your wedding song.

[Thya] Less than five minutes away.

[Alice groans] Fucking...

You okay?

Yeah, no, it's just...

You know they don't want me there.

That's not true.

Kit, in here.

Yeah.

[chuckles softly] Jesus.

[Thya giggles]

All right, look. The only thing they care about is that we're all together.

You're part of the family.

Even my mom.

I mean, she said that she was really touched you agreed to the cremation

instead of the burial,

and we could do it where she wanted.

[chuckles softly]

She appreciates you. Honestly.

Yeah, maybe. I don't know.

Well, I mean, my dad, on the other hand, I mean, he can't fucking stand you.

- [chuckles] - [Thya] Oh, God.

[unsettling music playing]

[Alice] Looks so run-down now.

[Thya] Wait, you've been here before?

[Alice] We got married here.

[haunting music playing]

Mom? Dad?

Be right back.

Grandma. You know where Mom is?

Oh.

She's still at school. It lets out at four.

Yeah. Thank you.

Mom?

[overhead clattering]

- What are you doing? - What do you think?

You invited Alice.

She was Will's wife.

Here, Mom, let me do this.

When we gave you this place, I asked you to throw everything away.

Why are his things still here?

I just wanted to keep something from Grandpa.

It felt like I was throwing him away.

He threw us away.

[Joseph] No, I know. It's just...

I mean, some of this stuff, it's fascinating, you know?

[Benjamin] Unleashing flesh-possessing demons

so malevolent as though the devil himself were here.

[clicks]

Does that sound fascinating to you?

It's just inspiration for my book.

Your book is about Grandpa?

No, not him.

His research. I mean...

[scoffs] Come on. Curses, and demons...

I found all kinds of crazy artifacts he brought back from around the world,

and apparently he was part of some secret society.

It was a cult.

[Joseph] They were historians, you know.

And he recorded everything in his notebook.

Look, I was gonna tell you.

[Susan] No, let me tell you.

- My father was not a good man, Joseph. - Mom...

When my mom's mind started to go, he retreated.

Spent more time with the Circle of the Wise Men than us.

Always off on some expedition,

buried in some stupid old book.

When Aunt Bonnie got sick, that's when he left us for good.

Hunting for rusty weapons. Crumbling scrolls.

He said he had to find a way to protect us from evil.

All he ever did was talk like that

because he didn't have the courage to face real hardship.

[inhales]

I had to take care of this family.

I'm sorry, Mom.

- You should get some rest. - It's fine.

I'm fine. It's the pills.

Tell everyone lunch in an hour.

Throw this out.

[Polly yelling]

- Let go of me! - What's going on?

- She insists on going outside by herself. - [Polly] No!

- [yelling] No! - [grunts]

- [Thya] What are you doing, Polly? - [Joseph] Grandma!

I was just trying to help!

Bonnie! Bonnie!

I've got her. She's trying to steal my money.

- [Thya] Polly! - [Polly] Call the police!

- Susan, we were just trying... - [Polly] Let go of me.

[Polly] Bonnie!

- [Joseph] Grandma, are you okay? - [Susan] Calm down.

- [Polly] It's broken. - Just a sec, Mom.

You thief.

Oh, my God.

You don't need to worry about the yard.

[inhales] ...and you let it rot.

You like living in shit!

Dad. Help me.

- [ghostly voice 2] Let us in, Dad. - [grunts]

[haunting music playing]

Come on, you can do it.

[echoing] Do it.

Do it. Do it.

[distant rattling]

[Alice] Edgar?

Edgar, are you okay?

- [gasps] - [glasses shattering]

No, no!

[Edgar grunting]

[both gasp]

[Alice breathing heavily]

[Alice gasps]

Don't tell my wife.

- Please. - [breathing heavily]

I'll hold onto this, okay?

[Edgar] Mmm.

[timer ratcheting]

[door creaks]

- What happened? - [Alice] Uh...

I missed a step in the cellar. I dropped the plates. I'm sorry.

[Susan] Yes, I heard that.

Would you put this on the dining room table? Please be careful with it.

[inhales] Made it myself.

You did?

It's Niobe.

- A Greek queen. - [Alice gasps softly]

- She's Edgar's favorite. - [Alice] It's pretty.

Yeah.

Why did you stop?

First, the kids. Then my sister Bonnie got sick.

[whispers] And my mother couldn't live on her own.

Well...

You had a gift. It's a shame.

Why is it a shame?

I was with the people I love.

Building a life.

You know, without my family, I'm nothing.

[joyful chatter on video]

[cameraman] Testing.

[Max whimpering]

[chatter continues on video]

[Susan] Thank you, Joseph.

That was beautiful.

[Edgar coughing]

- [Max whimpering] - [Edgar continues coughing]

You okay?

[Edgar] Mmm.

I'm good.

[Edgar coughs]

No.

That's Will's seat.

[Polly] Oh. My big boy, Will.

When does he get here?

- [table clatters] - [Max whimpers]

[chair scraping]

Edgar. Would you do the wine, please?

[Edgar] Mmm.

[Edgar grunts softly]

Oh, don't worry. I got it.

[exhales]

[Joseph] Mmm, so good.

They're premade. I just heated them.

Joseph is right, they're... they're delicious.

I would never guess it was frozen.

That's concerning.

Hmm?

It's clearly frozen food on paper plates.

If you manage the restaurant alone, you'll need to know frozen from fresh.

- [cork pops] - [Alice] Mmm.

About the restaurant...

I'm... I'm not sure I plan to...

Let's just talk about it another time.

- Let's talk about it now. - [soft tense music playing]

- We're all here. - [Max whimpers]

Well, I haven't decided anything, but, I mean, it was Will's restaurant...

You ran the place together.

I only did the accounting.

But you're... his wife.

You sure?

[Alice] To be honest, I... I was thinking, I might go back to Paris for a while.

Maybe stay with my... with my dad.

Then things seem a little more decided than you let on.

No, no, no.

These things should be dealt with as a family.

Yeah.

- We should deal with it as a family. - [whimpers]

[Susan] You know the staff adores you.

Alice, they need you.

Think about Will. Do it for him.

Wait, I recognize you.

You're married to my grandson, aren't you?

Don't turn a deaf ear. I asked you a question.

It's all right. [shushes]

- I... - It's okay. It's okay.

All I'm saying is

you have the chance to take over a successful business

while honoring Will at the same time.

It was his life's work.

It was his passion.

And you should carry it on.

Susan, I really think we should do this another time.

No, now's the best time to lay everything on the table.

- [Susan] He's right. - [soft tense music continues]

- We need to make decisions together. - You are driving me fucking crazy!

Without me you are nothing, Alice.

- It's what Will would have wanted. - [Edgar] That's Will's seat.

- That's your fucking problem! - [Susan] Do it for him.

[Polly] Will. When does he get here?

We're trying to have a fucking kid!

You do not know what you fucking want!

Say it. Don't you fucking bait me, Alice.

- [distorted warbling] - [splashes]

Alice!

Please, calm down.

I am calm.

But you shouldn't speak on Will's behalf.

I'm his mother.

No one knows him better than I do.

[Polly slurping]

[Joseph] Grandma, no.

[stops slurping]

Sorry. Okay, look.

We're all here for him, but I... I think Alice is right.

- This isn't the right time to... - It's never the right time for you, is it?

[uneasy music continues]

That's why you've done nothing with your life.

Edgar. Please.

- Don't you fucking touch me. - Edgar,

we're all grieving here, but that's no reason to be cruel.

- Thya, it's fine. - It's not.

- Joe... - Where is it?

[soft tense music playing]

Where's the wedding ring?

Why aren't you wearing it?

Did you sell it?

[Max whimpering]

- You get a good price? - No! No, no, of course not.

- I... - Edgar, can I have the corkscrew, please?

[Max whimpering]

[Edgar] And a hoodie and sneakers at her husband's funeral.

I'm right here, Edgar. You can speak to me directly.

You didn't even cry.

Don't you think that's weird?

People grieve in different...

- [Edgar] Get away from me! - [Max squealing]

[Max whimpering]

[coughs]

[huffing]

[Edgar] Will's dead.

And now you inflict this on us?

That's enough.

Dad. You don't look good...

It's your fault he's dead.

[unsettling music playing]

You didn't stop him getting to the car!

Stop it, Dad. I had nothing to do with it. Will got into a fight with Alice, and he...

What? Are you implying it was my fault?

- No, no, of course not. - You were there.

You couldn't stop him from getting in the car either.

[Joseph] I know. Alice, I know, I tried.

- [Alice] We tried. Okay, I didn't. - [Max whimpers]

- That doesn't mean it's my fault. - That's not what I'm saying...

- This is exactly what you said. - [Joseph] Alice, no.

- Alice, I think... - [Alice] No. I think

you should all mind your own business. You don't know anything.

[Max whimpering]

You're glad he's dead.

Please, please, please. Will's looking down on us from above.

From above?

He's down below.

[Max whimpering]

- [grunts] - [continues whimpering]

- [shouting] - [Max yelping in pain]

Stop!

[Edgar grunts]

[Joseph] The dog!

- [panting] - [Edgar] Help me.

[gasping in fright]

Help me.

Help me!

- Get your keys. - Okay.

[Thya] Let's take him to the hospital!

[Joseph] Thya! I need help! Grab his arm!

[Thya] I got him! I got him!

What did we do to deserve this?

[door slams]

They left without saying goodbye.

[suspenseful music playing]

Jesus fucking Christ, is he fucking crazy?

Thya, please. Give me a second.

- He killed your fucking dog! - I know!

Shit, shit. He's fucking bleeding everywhere. Shit.

Shit, shit. Come on!

[Alice] "October, 1983.

That cursed Book of the Dead.

I warned them against reading from it.

The forbidden incantation.

Four words that can unleash evil.

But they didn't listen.

December, 1983.

At last, I have found it.

A weapon that can stop them all.

A dagger created by the Circle of the Wise Men.

The tiniest cut from this ancient blade rips their demonic souls from their bodies.

I've hidden it, but now must leave again.

These creatures are hunting me

and I must protect my wife and daughters."

[panting continues]

Where's your father?

[shakily] I think Dad just killed Thya.

[knocks on door]

[ominous music playing]

[Thya] Open up. It's me.

She came back for my money.

Please.

Open the door.

Did you come back to return what you stole?

Uh...

Oh.

Exactly.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Polly screams in the distance]

- [whimpering] - [Susan] Oh, my God, Mom! Mom.

Are you okay?

Mom? Are you okay?

It's okay, I got you.

You're okay. It's okay.

[Thya in eerie voice] We will destroy it.

We will destroy it.

No more wise men.

We will destroy it.

Should... Should I go, or do... do you wanna?

You go.

Get Grandma upstairs.

[breathes shakily]

[suspenseful music playing]

[breathing shakily]

- [electricity crackles] - [panting]

[shaky breathing]

[suspenseful music playing]

[whimpers]

[in eerie voice] You thought I'd let you have all the men

in this family to yourself?

[both screaming]

Joseph, come!

[Thya and Alice grunting, screaming]

[growling]

Help.

Don't bother, babe.

That's not his style.

I said come!

[gasps, pants]

Susan.

Stop coddling the boy.

He has something that we need.

- [Susan screaming] - [Joseph] No! No!

[glass breaking]

[Joseph screams]

Give us what we came for!

- [machine beeping] - [distant, muffled scuffling]

I told you she was a thief!

[tense music playing]

[breathing shakily]

[electric knife whirring]

Oh, so you're brave now?

Boo.

[Joseph screams]

[gasping]

[whimpers]

[haunting music playing]

[Joseph groans]

[grunts]

I was your first.

And I'll make sure I'm your last.

[Joseph screams]

[laughing]

[grunts]

So you wouldn't shoot your father.

But killing me...

is easy?

[low, menacing giggle]

[Polly] Come here, young lady! I have what you want!

[stifled screaming]

[grunts]

Be right back, baby.

[gasps]

[suspenseful music playing]

The money's under my mattress.

Take it, and leave us alone.

Aw.

It's all broked in here.

But there is something that we want in that little head of yours.

Your husband must have told you where it is.

Huh?

[humming]

Mmm.

- [dentures clack] - Boop.

This will fix you.

[whimpers softly]

Polly.

Where's your leg?

[faint clank in the distance]

- That little... - [Joseph grunts angrily]

The Circle of the Wise Men failed. Your grandpa failed.

- You'll all die tonight. - [grunts]

[grunting]

- [eerie music playing] - [thudding]

[screams]

[panting, sobbing]

[Joseph panting]

[sobbing]

[Will in eerie voice] Alice. Alice. Alice.

I'm coming, Alice.

I'm coming for you.

Fucking say it!

[somber music playing]

[Alice] Joe.

What's the Circle of the Wise Men?

I didn't think that it was real.

Please stop hiding stuff, and just tell me.

I saw those fucked up drawings you threw out.

Did Will ever tell you about our grandfather?

[sentimental music playing]

Growing up, we were always told he was unstable.

In his journals, he described it as

this group convinced the devil had been here.

And would return if anyone read from what he called...

The Book of the Dead.

[dramatic music playing]

My grandfather left his family to travel the world,

researching and collecting artifacts as protection from all this.

You still have them?

My mom asked me to throw everything away after he died, but...

- Fucking... - No, no no.

She asked, but I didn't.

There's still some stuff hidden up in the attic.

And Thya,

that thing inside her, said they were looking for something.

Maybe whatever that is, it can stop them.

[music stops]

Mom? I need you to drink this, please.

[glass thuds]

Can you look under the bed?

Daddy always checks to make sure there aren't any monsters.

No monsters.

You're lying.

Don't worry.

You're safe here.

Goodnight, Mom.

[Polly] Goodnight, Susan.

What did you call me?

[Polly] Come, sweetheart.

[sobs]

Mom.

I missed you.

[sobbing] I missed you so much.

[gasps]

We share the same dream.

It can still come true.

The whole family can be reunited.

Will's already on his way.

He'll be here soon.

[shaky breathing]

[suspenseful music playing]

Don't be scared, Susan.

[knocking on door]

Remember what you said at the funeral.

[in eerie voice] That you would give everything you have

for us all to be together again.

[Susan sobbing]

[Susan sobbing]

Without your family, you're nothing.

[in eerie voice] I miss you.

I miss us.

[dramatic music playing]

[Susan sighs]

[gasps]

You haven't kissed me like that in years.

Your father's not there anymore. Maybe we can... [screams]

[Max barking]

[Susan] Joseph?

Hey, is... is Grandma okay? Everything good?

Yes, everything's better now.

I need you to trust me.

Trust you?

They're not our enemies.

I realize that now.

They just want something back that my father stole.

I told you, he was a bad man.

It's simple.

Tell them where it is.

Give them what they want, and this ends.

We can be happy again.

Where what is?

A weapon.

[tense music playing]

But we threw everything away.

You're lying to me.

Tell us where it is.

Us?

Where is the Kandarian dagger?

[dramatic music playing]

No! No!

- [Joseph] Alice! Alice, run! - [object clattering]

[Susan] Leave us alone!

[Alice sobbing]

You need to stop meddling in our family affairs.

You promised!

You promised not to hurt him!

[growling]

Finally some use for this revolting piece of shit.

- [screams] - [Edgar grunts]

Come.

See what you did.

[grunts]

[whimpering]

Finally, something you can be proud of.

[muffled screaming]

[stifled, indistinct speech]

[groans]

Did you say something?

I know where the dagger is! [sobbing]

Nothing will stand in our way now.

Once we have the dagger...

[Joseph] No!

[Susan] Get off him!

Get off him!

- [Susan] Edgar! Get off! - [groans] Fuck.

[Joseph screams]

[whimpering]

[Susan screams]

[Alice gasping]

[Susan screaming]

Oh, stop.

I'm just giving you what you want.

I know you liked it when Will hurt you.

Isn't that why you stayed?

[Alice panting]

Don't turn a deaf ear.

I asked you a question.

[Alice whimpering]

[sobbing]

[panting]

[grunts, screaming]

[high-pitched ringing]

Susan.

Help.

[Polly] Susan, dear.

Would you mind pushing the throttle to tear this bitch's face off, please?

She brought chaos into this family.

Your son died because of her.

Do it.

- [grunts] - [Polly] For Will.

[Alice sobbing]

Do it!

[breathes sharply]

[Polly] Do it!

Oh, Susan.

Do it.

I'm sorry, Alice.

[Susan groans wearily]

[both groan in pain]

[breathing heavily]

[in English] What are you doing?

[Alice in French]

[in English] You should be grateful I didn't leave you back there.

- [groans] - [Alice] Don't you dare move.

Grateful?

[sighs]

[unsettling music playing]

[Alice groans]

My family is gone.

[sighs]

Everyone I love is gone.

Because of you.

All you've ever done is bring us pain.

- [screams] - [high-pitched ringing]

- [clang] - [Alice gasps]

I hate you.

Oh, shut up, Susan!

Shut the fuck up!

I didn't bring anything to your family. It was already there.

You see this?

You see, Susan? This is your son.

This is what he was capable of.

- Was an accident! - No! It wasn't!

[sobbing] It was not. And you knew.

You knew, Susan.

You deserve everything that's happened to you.

Every fucking thing.

But you know what?

It's behind me now.

I don't give a shit anymore.

[motor revving]

[Susan] You're right.

Your past is behind you.

Right... Right behind you.

Like a shadow.

[in eerie voice] Can't escape it.

Just when you think you're safe.

Healed.

When you breathe a quivering sigh,

my son will be there.

As a husband should.

And he will burn you down

like the whore you are.

You will be dead by dawn!

[Joseph] Alice.

Help me up.

I know where the dagger is. I'll help you find it.

[in eerie voice] And then I'll cut you open with it like my brother should have.

You're worthless. Just like my grandfather.

Shut up!

[Joseph] He never found it, and you never will.

Let me end your miserable life.

You like pain anyway.

[Alice screams, pants]

[Joseph] That's why you let Will hurt you. Isn't it?

Poor little Alice.

[whimpering]

You'll be found in an attic alone.

Gutted from tit to tail.

You never wanted kids anyway.

Your body is useless.

[screams]

[choking, gurgling]

[laughs wickedly]

Wrong one.

[Will in eerie voice] Did you stay because you liked it?

Or you were too much of a coward to leave me?

Look at you now.

You still can't leave.

[wind blowing]

Remember the last thing you said to me?

[Will and Alice] "Go to hell."

[Will] You got your wish.

[whimpering]

I shouldn't have hurt you, Alice.

I should have killed you.

[intense music playing]

This is where I promised I'd always be with you.

[dramatic music playing]

Where I promised that not even death would do us part.

I will keep my promise, Alice.

My ex-husband.

[soft melancholy music playing]

[upbeat music playing]

[in normal voice] Wicked little French bitch.

[grunts softly]

- [whimpering] - Ma'am! What happened? Are you okay?

Oh, thank heaven! Please help me! She stole my legs!

- [in eerie voice] But yours will do just fine. - [whimpers softly]

[both screaming]

[ominous music playing]

Yes, sweetie. I know.

It's no fun coming into work with me on a Saturday.

But I've had to do everything by myself since...

Well, you know. I'll make it up to you tonight.

How come you're keeping all these urns full of dead people?

Uh...

Well... [clicks tongue]

it's sad, actually.

These are the people whose families never came for them.

So, we keep them here for a few months

in case a family member remembers to pick them up one day.

[doorbell chimes]

Okay. Don't touch anything, okay?

That might be about the cremator job. I'll be right back.

"Christopher Leroy."

"Ellie Bixler."

[woman] Hey.

Mom?

[woman] Don't be scared, baby.

[gasps]

[intense music playing]
