You should put the sign out.

>> Where are you going? You can't go

outside.

>> I have to. You should put the sign out

now.

So, you like any of the places we looked

at today?

>> Um, no, not really.

>> No. Huh? Well, don't worry. See, we're

going to find something really nice.

Trust your father.

>> All right.

up.

>> Thank you.

Okay. Well, this was a bad idea. Dead

end. Okay. Well,

>> look down. Look out.

>> Oh, Calvin,

are you okay?

>> Yeah.

>> What's with the screaming?

>> What do you mean? You didn't see it?

Right across the hood.

>> What? I didn't see anything.

>> Everything okay?

>> Yeah. Yeah. Uh, my son, he just thought

he saw something go in front of the car.

I'm sorry.

>> What'd you see?

>> It was a ball.

>> Ain't nobody playing ball around here.

Is that your sign?

>> Yes.

>> Can I ask you a couple questions?

>> Yeah, pull in.

>> Okay, great.

>> How's that for Lexi?

>> Sure.

Hey, Matt Wy.

>> Tyler Grant.

>> Nice to meet you.

>> And this is

>> That's my son, Calvin.

>> Hey, Calvin.

>> How old are you?

>> 10.

>> We've been looking at places all over.

>> Uh, come on in. I'll give you the tour.

>> Maybe today's your lucky day.

>> Maybe.

>> This is the first time I've shown it.

Just finished restoring the place.

Oh, it's beautiful.

>> Did you do all this yourself?

>> Oh, I'm semi-retired, so a little here,

a little there. You know,

>> it's really nice.

>> Yeah.

>> Wow. Is it ever bright in here?

>> I added a few windows.

>> Look at the view.

>> Beth would love this. I'm so glad you

think so.

Like I said, it's a great space and the

backyard stretches as far as you can

see.

What do you think, Calvin?

>> It's bigger and nicer than anything

we've seen.

>> It's nice to look, huh? I'm thinking

this one might be out of our range,

chief.

>> So, what do you think?

Well,

I have to ask the dreaded question, what

are you asking for rent?

>> Well, let me ask you. Given all the

other places you've seen,

what would you be willing to pay?

When are they moving in?

>> In a few weeks.

>> That's cutting it close.

>> We'll manage.

>> Is he baptized?

>> It doesn't matter. He'll have to do.

>> You've done your part for now. Let me

worry about the rest.

Was I right or was I right?

>> I'm not saying you were wrong. I still

think you shouldn't have signed the

lease before I saw it.

>> Come here.

This place was going to go fast, Beth.

You asked me to get it done, and I got

it done.

>> Well, the rent is not exactly what we're

looking at.

>> It's in budget.

>> The maximum, Matt.

>> Yeah, with the space we wanted.

The extra bedroom right there is now

your writing room.

Ah, tell me you love it. You love it.

>> I love the man who found it.

>> That'll do.

All right, you two kids, break it up. Am

I the only one who works around here?

Seriously, talk to them about notice.

>> Okay, okay, okay. Let me go.

>> I hate moving.

>> You hate moving. I hardly did anything.

>> Yeah, that's how much I hate you.

>> Are you forgetting your old shoe box of

a room, little man? You are definitely

moving up in the world.

>> Yeah, a lot of friends already own their

own places.

>> Oh, totally overrated. All that money

for what? A bunch of headaches. See,

something goes wrong here. Your

landlord's downstairs to fix it. Trust

me, I've moved nine times in school.

Sometimes I think I'm just doing it for

the free pizza.

>> No. Give it. Give it. Give it. You had

like

>> Yeah, that's too bad.

>> You're such a brat. You know that.

>> Oh, [laughter] I could totally wish.

>> Okay, I got to get going. You guys, you

okay?

>> Yeah.

>> Okay.

>> Thanks for the truck, Heather.

>> H, no problem. Beth, I will see you at

work on Monday.

>> Get it.

>> Thanks, Heather. Heather,

>> I'm going to go check out the new

backyard.

>> Just stay inside. Okay.

>> Yeah.

>> I'll go keep him company in a minute.

>> Should be fine. Seems like a quiet

neighborhood anyway.

>> Yeah.

>> Hello.

>> Welcome. Welcome. These are for you.

>> Thanks. You didn't need to do that,

though.

>> Of course I did, but I didn't mean to

barge in on you. I promise you I won't

make a habit out of it. No trouble.

>> Excuse me. I'm just going to take this

kitchen.

>> Where's Calvin?

>> Uh, he's out getting a lay of the land.

>> Oh, I'm sure.

I guess you guys want to get settled in,

too.

I wanted to invite you all down for

dinner tomorrow evening if you haven't

got other plans.

I know I shouldn't say it, but I'm not a

bad cook. I'm not sure we're going to be

unpacked.

>> No, that sounds good. What time?

>> How about 6:30?

>> Perfect.

>> Wonderful. Thought I might cook some

fish. I'll get out of your hair now, but

if you need anything, just call down.

>> Thanks. We appreciate it.

>> It's kind of strange if you ask me.

>> Oh, he seems okay to me.

What do you think you're doing?

>> I only wanted

>> I know what you wanted. You want to ruin

things.

>> No.

>> You want me to fail?

>> Please.

>> You think you're in control, don't you?

But you're not. I have worked too long

and too hard to let a wicked girl

[laughter] like you wreck everything.

>> Don't. Quiet.

>> You want them to hear you.

You keep my mouth shut. I won't let you

out until tomorrow.

>> Hey, did I hear some crying or shouting?

>> Ah, the TV.

They say hearing is the first thing to

go. Uh,

>> sorry to bother you. Bat's running a

bath and apparently there's no hot

water.

>> Oh, it's an old water heater. Sometimes

the pilot light goes out. Come on

downstairs and I'll show you how to

relight it.

So, here we are. This one is your unit.

They work great, but the pilots do go

out from time to time and they can't

fire up.

>> So, you reach in here with this and just

click it on. Okay. All right. Want to

try it? Yeah, sure.

>> Oh, that was easy.

>> Nothing to it.

>> I'll show Beth.

>> I'll get around to clearing a space here

for you to have some storage, but in the

meantime, I wouldn't let Calvin play

down here. There's too much stuff

stirring about.

>> No trouble.

>> Do you feel like a drink?

>> Yeah.

>> I'm sure you could use the break and I

could certainly use the company. Uh,

>> yeah. I'll just run up, tell Beth

there's hot water, and come right back

down. And

>> I'll break open a bottle I've been

saving.

You know, I married Tyler.

>> A few times.

>> A few.

>> Twice to be exact.

>> My first wife.

Well, whoever thinks about the first

wife once the second one comes along.

[laughter]

Okay.

>> My second wife was a dancer

and ballet.

She was

>> Wow, that was a lifetime ago.

>> Still in touch.

>> She died a few years ago.

>> She must have been young. I'm sorry.

>> You needn't be. She lived a full life.

Death is what makes life worth living,

isn't it? The uncertain promise of

tomorrow.

>> Suppose that's one way of looking at it.

What about uh Beth and yourself? Uh

you've been long married?

>> Uh [sighs] 13 years. Yeah, we got

married young before we really knew what

we were getting into.

>> Nobody ever knows what they're getting

themselves into. There are always

surprises.

Some good, some bad. You look like a

strong couple.

>> Thank you. Yeah, I guess you could say

that. We work at it.

>> Oh, I don't think so. [laughter]

I take it you're not a regular scotch.

>> No, not really.

>> It's very, very good stuff.

>> Okay. I can tell. I think

>> you uh you said you were a welder.

>> Yeah, I kind of fell into it. I learned

welding for sculpture.

>> You're an artist.

>> Haven't done much for a long time.

It's just too hard to make a living. So,

that's where the welding comes in.

Sometimes I wish I had taken my father's

advice and just gone to law school.

>> I never had much time for lawyers. No

offense to your father.

>> None taken.

>> I think you've made the right choice,

Matt.

You only get so much time and even less

youth.

Got to make the most of it while you

can. You're still a young man.

Big things will come your way.

>> You really think so?

Like you couldn't imagine

Spirit of the dark,

creator of sin.

>> [snorts]

>> Make a man feel anger.

We have a man.

It's begun.

[sighs]

What's up, Calvin?

You were supposed to be asleep hours

ago.

Something on your mind?

No.

First night in a new home is always

weird, Calvin. You're just not used to

this place yet.

Wish we were in our old apartment.

>> What? You were the one who told me how

great this place was. I know, but

it just feels like I shouldn't be here.

>> You'll get used to it.

Trust me, there's nothing to [music] be

afraid of. It's all just new.

>> I never said I was afraid.

>> Oh, right. Sorry. There's nothing to be

nervous about.

>> I'm not a little kid anymore.

You know,

sometimes I remember when you were You

want me to leave you alone?

>> Yeah, please.

>> And you'll go to sleep?

>> Yes.

>> Okay.

I want it to end.

>> I do

when you let that boy see you.

>> I said I was sorry.

I just wanted to see you.

>> But you knew I'd have to punish you.

I don't want anything to go wrong.

We have to be together on this.

You know that, don't you?

I know

I'm not a little girl anymore.

Not for a long time.

>> Do you forgive me?

It'll all be over soon.

>> Should we try some of this wine?

>> Mhm.

[sighs]

>> You

>> Thank you.

>> [snorts]

>> I got a good feeling about this place.

I'm going to make it work.

>> I know.

I'm

>> sorry if I worry about everything.

>> One of us has to.

>> Do you know if you have anything planned

for Monday?

>> No. Brian said he was going to call if

new job is starting up. In the meantime,

we've got this unbelievable view.

>> Let's enjoy the moment. [snorts]

>> Here's to a new place.

>> Here's to it.

>> It's not bad. Wonder what it is.

What is it?

>> Who are you?

>> Mom, what's going on?

>> Calvin, get back.

>> Tyler

>> Beth Matt

>> up here.

Kayla.

I'm sorry.

>> You know this girl?

>> Yes. This is my niece Kayla.

>> What was she doing?

>> She's here for the weekend.

Last time she visited here, the upstairs

was totally empty and she had to run out

of the house. You must have left your

door unlocked. And

>> Well, I'm sorry.

She's sorry.

>> I didn't know.

>> It's okay.

Don't worry about it.

>> It's okay. It's just, you know, it's

late and we're all tired.

I'll walk you down and lock the door.

>> Yeah, sounds good.

I don't want to drink it.

You don't have a choice.

Drink.

No, I'm good.

>> Hey.

>> Hello there.

>> And the door is unlocked.

>> Really?

>> So, tell me, how was the first night?

[gasps]

>> A little strange

>> besides nightwalking nieces and Tyler

Ogling bath. Perfectly fine. Come on.

You saw that guy. You could have worn a

robe or something.

>> Oh, so now I'm encouraging him.

>> I'm not saying that.

>> Who's the nightwalking niece?

>> Uh, Kila. The landlord's niece is here

to visit. She was walking around not

realizing that we had moved in and I

woke up and she was standing right

there.

>> Seriously?

>> Yeah.

>> You okay, hun?

>> Yeah. I'm just going to go lie back down

for a little bit. Uh, wake me in half an

hour and I'll help.

>> Mhm.

What's up with Matt?

>> I don't know. Probably coming down with

something.

>> So, where's Mr. C?

>> You know, the move and then last night I

figured we just let him sleep in.

>> You guys must be exhausted.

>> Yeah.

>> Morning.

>> Son of a [ __ ] Are you okay?

>> Oh,

>> are you all right?

>> My hand. Can you grab me a napkin,

Heather, please?

Take it. Do you have like a first- a kit

or something? No,

>> I have a first aid kit downstairs. Come

on.

>> I'll sort it out for you.

>> Okay.

>> See you in a couple of minutes.

>> I'll just clean up.

>> Stand.

[snorts]

>> Got it.

>> Oh god.

>> What is that for?

>> Old family cure.

>> [snorts]

>> So, Tyler, you said you're quite a chef.

>> Oh, yes. In fact, that's why I came up

to apologize for last night.

Make sure that we're still on for this

evening.

>> We're still on. I'm looking forward to

it.

>> Good.

>> Thanks.

>> Yeah. I'll see you this evening.

>> Thanks, Tyler.

You're welcome.

I want you to be on your best behavior

for our guests.

After dinner, I will entertain the

parents whilst you attend to Calvin in

your room.

>> He's such a young boy.

>> You started this

and you'll finish it as I damn well tell

you.

I bet there's another way.

>> No, there isn't.

>> I bet there is in the book. But you like

it this way. Hard.

>> You're cruel in your heart. Really?

>> No, I I'm not.

>> I'm just resigned to cruel things.

>> And what are you but what you do?

>> It's worth it.

It'll all be worth it.

Kayla is your own niece on what side?

>> She's my sister's daughter. My sister

and uh Kayla's dad are on sbatical in

Europe. What are their names?

>> Mary and Roger Peters. They didn't want

Kayla to miss out on school, so they

left her in there for the year. Anyway,

she really likes it in Francis out near

Worcester.

>> That's a Catholic school, right?

>> Yes. But you don't have to be religious

to go there.

Do you uh go to church?

>> Oh, we don't. We're not exactly the

>> We never did.

>> Me and my manners. No religion or

politics at the dinner table. Right. In

any case, it's a fine school. And now

with Calvin here, things couldn't be

better.

>> Do you have any games?

>> No, but I can get some.

What do you do for fun?

>> Not much.

Do you want to draw?

[snorts]

>> Not really. I'm not that good.

>> Can I draw you?

>> Uh,

yeah, sure. Why not?

>> So, what do you do besides fix up old

houses, Tyler? Oh, I taught Renaissance

literature, edited books. I've done

archive work for museums, but I've

mostly retired from all that now.

I understand you write, Beth.

>> So, nothing glamorous. I took journalism

in college. Um, but I work at a

bookstore right now. And I started

writing a novel.

>> Really? How interesting.

I'd love to read some of your stuff.

>> Haven't really shared it with anyone.

>> I'd be more than willing. It's been a

long time since I've worked with a

beautiful young author.

>> You know, Tyler, I'd like to know a

little bit more about your editing work.

What kind of stuff did you do in the

past?

>> Oh, history travels.

>> Got a lot of beautiful young authors

writing history.

>> You'd be surprised.

Would

you like some more wine?

>> Why not?

>> Hold it. Hold it.

>> Are you almost done?

>> In 1 second.

Okay, I'm done.

>> You didn't even draw me.

>> Yes, I did. You're right there. And

that's me.

And who are all these other people?

That's your mom and dad.

They fighting.

>> Yeah.

>> Do you know who lived here? Um before it

was vacant.

>> It was built by the heir of quite a

prominent local family. They made their

fortune out of steel. He had a wife and

two children. But then in the late

1880s,

>> yes, [snorts] what what happened to the

family?

>> You don't want to know the detail.

>> Was somebody killed?

>> You really want to know?

>> Yeah, you kind of have to tell us now.

>> The poor man went quite mad. He killed

the family.

Arson

>> where upstairs?

>> No, they were all down here.

seated as if for tea.

Then he hanged himself.

Wow.

>> He's mean to me.

>> What do you mean?

He's just old and dumb.

>> I don't know. He seems pretty nice.

>> Would you rescue me if I was in trouble?

>> Yeah, sure.

>> I have something for you.

>> It's a good luck charm.

[snorts]

>> What's inside? Some sand, a feather,

other stuff.

>> Is it like magic?

>> It works for me, but you have to keep it

secret.

>> Secret? Why?

>> The magic doesn't work. And you have to

wear it all the time. Even sleep with

it. It'll protect you.

>> Well, then why wouldn't you want it?

>> I've had it for a long time. It wears

off on one person after a while.

Oh, thanks.

>> I don't feel well at all.

>> Maybe something I ate.

>> Finally dinner. I can see that. That

meal was amazing.

Weren't you feeling bad this morning?

>> A little bit.

>> You feel fine?

>> Well, yeah. Tyler took care of that.

>> What are you talking about?

>> The flirting. Miss beautifully young.

>> Hey, please. He's harmless, Matt.

>> Let's hope he stays that way.

>> Maybe your stomach's affecting your

head.

>> Is it really that bad?

>> I'll live. I'm just saying I'm a guy and

I know the looks guys give. Okay. Well,

when you feel up to it, why don't you

draw me a chart and I can be on the

lookout. [laughter]

>> Good one.

>> Meanwhile, I'm going to go check on

Calvin. Make sure you haven't infected

him yet.

He's not baptized.

>> We have our window.

>> There's not much time.

>> How do things go with Calvin?

>> I gave it to him.

>> Then we're well on the way.

The other two love each other, don't

they?

>> Very much.

>> Don't worry, there are worse things to

overcome.

>> How you feeling?

>> Fine. Why?

>> For no reason.

>> Did you have fun with Kayla?

>> She's different.

>> She seems nice.

>> I don't know.

Well, we can get to know her a little

bit better if she's around other

weekends. Right now, it's time for bed.

We're back at it tomorrow. Yep. I love

you. Love you, too.

There's a message from Brian and the

machine.

How you feeling?

>> Oh, like death.

>> Definitely have a nasty bag.

>> I hope I don't get it.

>> Well, whatever it is, I hope it goes

away quickly.

Calvin.

Calvin, you almost ready?

>> Yeah, like 10 minutes ago.

>> Okay, I'll call you later to see how

you're doing. Hey, you take it easy.

I'll get

[sighs]

>> in your charades.

>> We said you were in school. They should

see me driving you off.

>> You're the one who said I was in school.

All these stupid plans.

>> Things would be simpler if you'd

actually managed to stay hidden for

once.

>> It's not like I woke her up on purpose.

>> No. Either way, my charades, dear, are

what deflect suspicion, keep us safe.

>> From what? You're the one to be feared.

>> That's not the way I see it.

They're going to the car. We need to go.

>> Okay. Okay.

Do you have everything?

>> Hi.

>> Back to work.

>> You bet.

>> Morning, Calvin.

>> Hi.

>> Maybe we could take a look at some of

your writing.

>> That'd be great.

See,

everything's working out fine.

>> Sure. Like a dream.

>> Shoot. Got my purse.

>> We going to be late.

>> Just a second.

Hi, Beth.

>> Hi. I was thinking about taking you up

on your offer. If you want to look at

some chapters, maybe we could talk this

evening and Calvin can spend some time

with Kayla, too.

>> Yeah, I'd love that. But Kayla's in

school this week.

>> That's right. Sorry I forgot when I saw

you bringing her back in.

Hi, Beth.

>> Hi.

>> She forgot her bag. I'm just taking her

to school now. Caleb, go get your bag.

She'll be back at the weekend if that's

okay.

>> Yeah, sure. Just give us a ring. I'll

leave these with you.

>> Thanks. Bye.

You Okay,

>> how did you get it?

>> I know you've been feeling under the

weather, so I brought you some soup.

>> It's important not to get dehydrated.

How's Beth doing, man?

>> Not sick if that's what you mean.

>> Kind of.

>> Is everything okay between the two of

you?

>> Sure.

Yes.

Do you? She seems to be sending me

signals.

She seems to be missing something. Matt,

>> what are you trying to say to her?

>> I'm I'm probably not putting this very

well, but

I know you've had trouble in the past.

You pictured yourself as an artist, Beth

[snorts] doing her writing, but somehow

things haven't quite turned out that

way.

Maybe not yet.

>> You see, Beth is the kind of woman that

needs a man to be decisive.

Maybe she hasn't mentioned this to you

directly.

I lost my first wife through indecision

and to an older man.

I don't want to lose her.

I'm not saying that.

Certainly not someone like me.

I'm sorry. Perhaps I've said too much.

You've been through a lot together. I'm

sure you'll weather whatever storm is

brewing.

I mean that as a friend,

not as a landlord.

Try and take some soup.

Is Matt still at home?

>> Yeah, he says he's pretty sick, but he

always milks these things.

>> Well, maybe this time he's the boy who

cried wool.

>> Even so, it's going to be a strain if he

doesn't get back to work soon.

Hey, have you gotten any more writing

done on that novel?

>> Not really.

With moving and everything, I haven't

had any time. Tyler said he'd offer some

help, though.

>> He's a writer.

>> Hey, he says he's edited some books. I

don't know a lot about him.

>> Well, maybe he knows some publishers.

>> There's this thing about Kayla.

>> Denise.

>> Yeah. I don't want to say anything

before I know more. That reminds me. Um,

I want to look into some people that

lived in the house originally. Tyler

says some people died there.

>> Seriously,

you're not creeped out?

>> Not really. Anyway, are you going to be

at the paper tomorrow?

>> Yeah, don't remind me.

>> Do me a favor. Look up stories on Pearl

Street around 1880s.

>> No problem. Should be [snorts] fun

reading.

I'd like to read it again before I say

anything to you. Plus, you should know

that I'll be brutally honest if I have

to be.

>> That's what I was hoping for.

>> You sure?

>> Yeah. I have to know that I'm on the

right track. I need the truth, you know,

good or bad, whether it hurts or not.

Well, it could do us some work.

>> Truth is always painful.

You clearly have talent.

And with the right help,

Whoa, that hurt.

>> You okay?

>> I don't know.

>> How's Calvin adjusting to the move?

>> He seems to be doing okay.

We're all a little out of sorts.

Unfortunately, I haven't had a lot of

time with him, though, you know.

>> Mom.

Mom. Dad needs your help.

>> Excuse me.

>> It's coming down. If it doesn't break by

tomorrow, you should think about seeing

a doctor.

>> You going to be okay?

>> Yeah, I'm fine. Nice.

They're close to breaking.

You need something.

We used to have fun.

>> Fun? I never had fun.

>> What about St. Petersburg?

I really liked California.

You brought us back to this house, so

you must have liked something about it.

What about London?

>> I remember.

>> You had fun with her, didn't you?

>> There's more than that.

I loved her.

>> That wasn't worth it. No.

All that waste of time.

>> What about me?

>> Could you love me too?

>> I do love you.

>> Why else do you think I

>> Because of who you are.

You think you have to.

I see how you look at me. I know what

you think.

>> Man can have doubts.

>> What doubts made you love her

>> and to leave me?

>> I won't leave you.

>> You would have if she hadn't died.

You didn't. When we're set free, we'll

still need forgiveness, right?

How can you expect it when you don't

give any to me?

should call the doctor say.

>> No, I'm feeling better.

>> Could have fooled me. You might need

some antibiotics or something.

>> Just let it run its course.

I think there's something going on

downstairs. Yesterday, I forgot my

purse, so I came back and saw Tyler

bringing Kayla back into the house.

>> So,

>> well, we all left at the same time, but

he didn't end up leaving the driveway.

>> Well, you and Tyler are all buddy buddy

now. Why don't you go ask him?

What?

>> Nothing.

Forget it.

>> No. What the hell's that comment about?

I'm freaking out thinking that this man

may be hiding Kayla from us, and you sit

here and accuse me of I don't even know

what with Tyler.

>> Look,

Tyler comes and pays me a visit

yesterday, tells me that you came on to

him, then I see you out walking back in

the forest all buddy. Buddy, what am I

supposed to think? He offered to help me

with my novel. I told you that.

>> Right. Editing novel, right?

>> Hey, you're not making any sense.

>> Well, I'm not making this up.

>> I love you and you know that.

>> Didn't make a difference last time, did

it?

I'm the one working 9 to5 taking care of

you, Calvin, and everything around here.

>> I know. I know. You do everything. You

don't need me.

>> You're not even listening.

>> Well, I got an idea. Why don't you stop

talking and let me try and get some

sleep?

>> Fine.

Okay.

Kayla.

Kayla,

help me. P.

>> What's happening?

>> Kayla is here.

So

>> Beth, everything okay?

>> Where is Kayla?

>> Kenneth, let's go.

>> There was crying, Tyler.

>> There was some crying in that old movie.

>> That's not it.

>> If there was crying in the movie.

>> I said that's not it. She asked for

help. Now where is she?

Honey, I don't doubt that you saw

something, [clears throat] but it's

late. You're probably just really tired.

>> You don't believe me?

>> It's the middle of the night. Can we

please just go upstairs?

>> Sorry for wasting your time.

Sorry.

Everything's fine.

>> Can't believe you didn't back me up down

there.

>> Would you listen to yourself?

>> I'm supposed to be able to count on you,

Matt. Oh,

>> you can count on me. Make sure you don't

make a fool of yourself.

There's

>> something going on downstairs.

I'm going to figure it out.

>> Yeah. Well, good luck with that.

>> Hi, this is Mary Peters, Kayla's mom.

>> Hi.

>> I know she's in class right now, but I'd

like to leave her a message.

Mary Peters.

>> My daughter Kayla.

>> That'll be the D.

>> There you go.

>> No, there's no mistake.

Is there another St. Francis?

I see.

>> I knew it.

>> You uh you want to tell me what that was

all about?

>> Kayla, the girl downstairs, is not who

Tyler says she is. Well, who is she?

>> I don't know.

Heather, something is going on. Well,

maybe it's time you did a little bit of

snooping.

Hey, what's going on, Calvin?

>> Nothing.

A boy your age should have something to

do.

Idle hands are the devil's playground.

Watch.

See

What is it?

>> An initial

>> for who?

>> Very old friend.

>> Don't you get lonely out here?

>> I'm kind of lonely everywhere.

>> I know what you mean.

Hello.

Hi.

Tyler,

your door's open.

Harriet Cummings,

August 8th, 1693.

Beth

>> Tyler. Hi.

>> Hi.

>> I was just coming down to apologize

about the other night, you know, with

everything that took place and

>> probably just a bad dream.

>> Yeah, I guess so.

>> How's your hot water?

Our pilot was out.

So was yours.

>> So I let it for you.

>> Thank you.

What you looking for?

Your hair is on fire.

>> What?

>> Sorry, I'm just doing some research.

>> Samuel Wardwell. Who's that?

>> I'm trying to find out.

>> Well, what's the interest?

>> Something for the novel.

>> That's great. Onwards and upwards,

right? Could

you hang out with Calvin after school?

>> Matt's really sick and found out that

Calvin spent most of his time yesterday

afternoon by himself.

>> I want to head up to Salem after my

shift.

>> Salem?

>> Why don't I just grab Calvin and Waga?

>> This is something I need to do on my

own.

Hi.

>> Hi.

>> Can I help you?

>> I'm just looking around. Thank you.

>> Would you like a tour?

>> Oh, no. Thanks.

>> Okay.

>> Actually, can you tell me anything about

Samuel Wardwell? Sure.

He was the only man hung during the

trials to give such a detailed account

of his crimes. Um claimed he'd met with

the devil. Made a deal to recruit souls,

a special book to record the names. A

book.

>> Well, it was never produced, of course.

It was common knowledge that he made his

confession to save his wife and

daughter. They were arrested, too, but

released.

>> And what were their names? Um the

daughter was Mary, wife Sarah. The

daughter was also referred to as Mercy

in some records and there were other

children but I believe well it's always

a bit confusing with the older records.

So what happened to all of them?

>> Well, for the most part they survived.

You do know there were no real witches.

So in your opinion there's no such thing

as witches.

Do you know what this is?

Looks like a Bible.

Malayus Malicarum, the hammer of

witches, written by two white European

gentlemen in the 15th century. It was as

popular, perhaps more so than the Bible

in its day.

>> Hammer. It was written to do away with

witches.

>> Exactly. Detect them, question them,

destroy them. It was very clever.

Witches will never attack directly. It

would say they will make you sick, make

your family sick, make you Hallucinate,

paranoid, weakening you until you are

willing to believe anything, do

anything.

For centuries, any misfortune could be

blamed on witchcraft. Why would someone

create and keep a ledger with the name

Wardwell on the front with hundreds of

names from 1693 to now?

>> Pardon me?

>> A ledger? A book?

No. I found this book and I wanted to

know what it would be.

>> It's a fake, a practical joke. Uh, and

not a very good one either. You said it

was never produced

>> because it didn't exist. Were there any

pictures of him or his family?

>> Um,

not that I know of. I've never seen any.

>> It was a long time ago.

>> Can I give you my number? And if you

find [music] any information about the

book or anything, you can give me a

call. I'll see what I can do. Please

call me if you find anything.

Do you know what a soul this. Uh, yeah.

Isn't that like the part that when you

die becomes a ghost?

>> Kind of.

Is that what you believe?

I don't know. Can you feel it?

>> I don't think so.

>> You can't, but trust me, it's there.

>> Is this like a God thing?

Pay attention.

Put your hands over mine

without touching.

Can you feel it?

>> I don't know. It's uh kind of warm.

>> That's your soul

right there between us.

When the time comes when you're going to

have to save me, you're going to have to

give it away. But isn't giving it

[clears throat] away like a bad thing?

>> How can it be bad? You didn't even know

that you had it and you're not using it.

>> Yeah, I guess.

So, we have a deal.

Sure.

>> [sighs]

>> Hey.

>> Hey.

How was Salem? You see any witches?

>> Yeah. Funny.

Um, I checked up on Matt and I think you

should probably make an appointment for

him to see a doctor. [snorts]

>> I've tried. Last time I said I was

trying to get rid of him, so

whatever he's got, I certainly don't

want.

Hey, Calvin's in the shower, so I'm just

going to take off. All right. See you

tomorrow.

>> Yeah. Okay.

Thanks,

Calvin.

You okay in there?

>> Yeah.

>> I don't want you locking the door,

though. Can you open it?

>> No, it's okay.

>> No, it's not. If you slip or something,

open it now.

>> I just want you to be safe, that's all.

I'll take these down to the wash.

>> No, it's okay. I'll uh take them to the

wash when I'm done.

What's this?

What is this for?

>> Nothing.

>> What's on your chest?

>> It's okay. It's

>> Where did you get this?

>> I forget.

>> Calvin, don't lie.

>> A kid at school gave it to me.

>> Who? You know, my friend Harry. Him.

>> I think you're lying to me, Calvin.

>> What is going on now? [sighs]

Calvin says he got this from a friend at

school.

>> So

>> I think he got it downstairs.

>> No, I didn't.

>> What difference does it make where he

got it?

>> It matters, Matt. I'm throwing it away.

>> You can't. It's bad luck.

>> Really?

>> Look at your chest. You call that good

luck?

What did you give to Calvin?

>> I did what you told me.

>> No, you didn't. You changed it after all

I've done. All I'm doing for you.

>> You're doing this for him. I told you

there's more than one way to do things.

>> Besides, I'm just having a little fun.

>> [clears throat]

>> Beth.

Beth.

Honey, you think you're being a little

over the top here?

>> I'm not.

>> No more cookies from downstairs. Calvin.

>> Mom, I like those cookies.

>> No, you don't. You don't know what's in

them, Calvin.

>> Almonds,

>> poison.

>> Oh, honey. That is just insane.

>> I am not insane. There are things going

on, Matt. Someone is making you sick. Do

you not see that?

>> I'm starting to feel better.

>> Oh, great. You're upright for the first

time ever since we moved in.

>> Oh, right. And you're never ever sick

because you're so perfect.

>> I guess I have to be, don't I?

>> Can you please stop?

>> Buddy,

we're sorry. Okay. Mom and dad are

fighting.

>> Yes, you were.

>> We were just I've been under a lot of

strain lately and things have been

confusing.

>> I just feel like my baby.

>> What is it?

>> Are we going to stay a family,

>> buddy? Of course we are.

>> Everything's going to be fine. I

promise.

>> When

You'll be able to save me soon.

>> Am I dreaming?

>> No.

>> See?

>> See? It's okay, bud. It's just a dream.

You're okay?

>> Are you sure?

>> It's just a dream. Just a dream, bud.

>> And what's doing here?

>> I just had the worst nightmare.

>> What was it?

>> [sighs]

[gasps]

[snorts]

[laughter]

>> Did you sleep okay, Calvin?

>> Fine.

No bad dreams or anything?

>> No.

Why?

>> No reason. Just asking.

>> What about you?

I'm okay.

How about dead? He'll be fine.

This is by the same author. You might

enjoy that one, too. Excuse me. Just a

sec.

>> Hello.

>> This is Janine Todd from the Salem

Museum. Uh, I need to speak with you.

>> What is it?

>> I I can't say over the phone. Can you

come and see me

>> at the museum? I'm at work right now,

but

>> it's really very important. I have

something you need to see.

>> Why?

>> You need to come as soon as possible.

Hello.

>> Hey, Heather. I know I already owe you,

but can you please pick up Calvin again

tonight?

>> Yeah. Is something wrong?

>> Yeah.

>> No, I don't even know.

>> I will be there. I mean, I was going to

come by with that stuff from the

archives you asked for anyway.

>> Heather, you're the best.

Come on, pick up.

I'm just going to go to my room for a

sec.

>> Okay, but hurry up.

>> Food's going to get cold.

>> [snorts]

>> What do you mean?

>> Hi, Beth. Said you had something to show

me. This is for you. What is it? My boss

left it for you. Yesterday was his last

day. He said it was very important that

it would give you the answers that

you're looking for.

October 26th. That's today.

Gave you this. My boss, Mr. Grant. Tyler

Grant. He said you knew him.

>> That can't be.

>> Dad. Dad.

Dad. Dad. Wake up. Dad. Get up. Dad.

Dad. Dad. Please. Please.

Heather. Heather, open the door. Help.

Kelvin.

It's okay, Calvin.

I'm here.

>> What's wrong with him?

Nothing that you can't fix.

Heather, pick up the Um,

I'm sorry things had to end this way.

Come.

>> Only Kayla had made the talisman right.

Everything would have been simpler.

What have you done to my parents?

>> I've done to them what was necessary for

you.

I have had to make the most noble of

choices, my son.

And I'm offering you the same choice.

Do you want to save your parents?

Do you want things to be as they once

were?

Yes.

>> And there's one thing I need from you.

>> What is it?

>> Call him a packed.

Do you know what a soul is?

>> Yes.

You want to see your parents live.

You want to see them happy.

You want to see them live for a very

very very very long time.

>> Of course I do.

>> Then you must commit your soul.

You [snorts] must say a battle.

You must

give yourself to him.

>> And if I don't,

>> then your father's good is dead and your

mother. But if you do as I say, they'll

live. You'll all live.

You'll get the same bargain I was

offered. You'll do as we did.

Pay him back

and his claim on your family will be

erased.

>> No. Cuz then we're no better than you.

>> Your family isn't worth it.

You're burdened.

>> Lord of Darkness.

Say his name

three times. Say it now.

Bad.

[screaming]

I can feel it

>> again

about it.

Once more. Once more. Once more for

mercy.

Help.

Oh god. Help.

Help.

Once more for mercy. Once more.

>> Kill. [panting]

>> This is my lovely daughter. Mercy.

Where's Calvin?

Oh my god. [gasps]

Oh my god.

I have sacrificed for you.

This is the last one.

An unbaptized boy your age on the

anniversary of your vows.

>> We're free now. Mercy. But mercy never

wanted to be free. You never asked.

>> I've done it all for you.

You still don't know who I am

after all this time.

>> I am.

Did you think I was just going to let

you go?

>> I have plans for you.

>> What plans?

>> What do you think I've been doing all

these years?

>> It was all for you, Mercy.

It was for you.

>> But Mercy never wanted it.

>> [screaming]

[screaming]

[music]

>> Oh, father,

forgive me.

Please, it it wasn't me. I forgive you.

I'm sorry, Kellen.

I didn't mean it to end this way.

Calvin,

I've been waiting for you, Beth.

No.

Hey,

baby.

Heat. Heat. N.

Yeah.

[music]

Heat.

Oh,

baby.

Again,

again,

my Yeah.

Heat.
