Original subtitles

Peter, it's getting late.

Come on, Mom. Dad always lets me stay when I'm visiting him.

Your father and I disagree about a lot of things. That's why you live with me

and visit him.

Don't forget to brush your teeth.

Hey, Mom, I'm 15, okay?

Yeah, well, I still pay the dentist bills, okay?

I know, I know. I'll wind up with wooden teeth just like my grandfather.

That was George Washington.

Don't be so smart.

Yes, ma 'am.

I love you.

Oh no, not again.

Mom, don't do it. No, no, it's real. Peter, Peter, everything is moving in

there. No, no, Mom.

Okay? Look.

No, don't. Look.

I saw it all.

I'm calling him tomorrow.

Not again.

Mom, the man is a fake.

Okay? He's not going to help you. Peter, I have to do something.

Mom, it's just the dress.

Everything's going to be okay.

Happy anniversary, darling.

I am so sorry. I couldn't come any earlier, but I've been hooked up with

appointments all day long.

All right.

I'm just glad you're here.

How are you holding up?

I'm scared. I don't know about... Yes.

You don't know if you can take the strain.

You're worried about your son.

You don't know what the future holds.

But I do, Michelle.

It may take some time, but I can help you.

By calling me, you took a critical step toward putting this whole thing behind

you.

I hope so.

Where is Peter?

He's out. He doesn't approve of any of this.

I understand.

DeVore. It can sometimes make children...

untrusting.

Someday... What?

What? What is it? The entity.

I sense it.

Last night's disturbance in... that family room.

The dining room.

Family room and the dining room.

The entity is in great pain.

Lashing out.

It needs to find peace.

Peace.

So that it can move on.

We'll begin in here.

But I need you to know that I have your full commitment.

Do you have the check?

Yeah.

Excellent.

Be strong.

You who have left the world of flesh and blood, listen to my plea.

Hear me.

Break through the veil of darkness.

And come into the light.

I am your catalyst.

Your conduit.

Come through me into this plane of existence.

Yes.

I feel your sorrow.

Come. Show yourself.

Show yourself that we may help you.

to heal the ones.

Show yourself.

Welcome,

my friend.

I know, the pain.

You died before your time.

A civil war, far away from home.

This was your home, wasn't it?

And you left it all behind.

This house was built in the 20s.

On the very spot where his cabin once stood. Who is it?

Lieutenant Nathaniel Swanson of the California Volunteers. Beloved father

husband torn from this world before he had a chance to hold his own child in

arms. It was so unfair.

But don't make this woman pay.

Don't torment the innocent for injustices done to you. They are not

I implore you to stop.

Stop the wandering. Stop the suffering. Stop living in the past.

It's time to move on.

The war is over.

What the hell?

Young man, you have just interrupted a very critical event for your mother and

I. Right.

What a crock.

You!

You have no business being here.

Good evening, Mr. Starr.

Peter, what's going on?

I talked to the police, and they introduced me to Dr. Ryan and Miss

They'd dealt with this guy before, unfortunately.

You know them?

Yes, Mrs. Hoth.

He certainly does.

Unbelievers. Modern -day witch hunters.

Mrs. Hoth, your son called us because he was concerned about you.

Look, I don't understand. You have no right to be here. What are you doing?

Put that down.

It's remote control.

This man is a fake. Unfortunately, you're not his first victim.

All right, give me that.

Just give me that one.

And that.

Don't listen to them, Michelle.

They're the fakes. Oh, really?

Jeffrey Starr, Danny Jones, also known as Chet Sinclair, also known as... I

mean, the list goes on and on. It is not against the law to change your name.

I'll be out of jail by morning.

I realize you probably don't have a college degree, so I will speak slowly

you can understand me. You cannot do this to me, all right? Hey, hey,

my lawyer is on his way over right now.

Shut up.

Shut up yourself.

Are you listening to me? I want your best number.

What did you say? I said butt out.

Let me guess, this is a glandular problem?

I don't know.

By this time, I'm gonna make the call.

There's been a stock claimant put on that.

What, did you come to gloat? No.

Came to give you this.

Case histories of the people you helped.

I never made any promises.

Really? An old woman who spent her life savings to get rid of a non -existent

ghost? A teenager who quit college based on psychic advice?

What, I'm supposed to be responsible for what those boneheads did?

No, I just tell them what they want to hear. No, of course. Well, the police

found a client list in your briefcase.

They were kind enough to make me a copy.

A client list?

That is privileged information.

And it was my privilege to call them.

You know, a smart lawyer will probably keep you out of prison, but it won't

bring back your customers.

A big deal. Do you think I need them?

A new name, a new ad, maybe a little bit of late -night TV commercial time. I am

back in business.

You never learned, do you?

Learned? Learned what?

What, that people believe in me?

Come on, Rain.

I give them what they want. They give me money.

So, just blow off.

Oh, this is a good one.

$3 a minute. That's $180 an hour. How can they get away with this?

People are willing to spend a lot of money for peace of mind. It's hardly

of mind if what you're selling is a lie. Why aren't we doing something about

this? Know your future.

That's rich. Most people have a hard enough time just dealing with their

What's up?

Alex has found herself a new crusade.

It's just that there's so many of these scam artists, I think we should do

something about it.

Agreed. But for now, we have to settle for exposing the worst of them.

Like Jeffree Star. Jeffree Star. Give me a break. That's not his real name. Try

Harold Shuriken.

No wonder he changed it.

Yeah, Green.

Was anyone hurt?

No, Peter, listen. Go back to class. We'll talk to both of you later.

Yes.

It was Peter again.

Something occurred last night after we left.

This might be the real thing.

Mr. Silverman, no, no, that was just a misunderstanding.

No, look, a lot of people are very threatened by the things that I can do.

You know, if the skeptics ran the world, we'd have no modern medicine. We'd

never gotten to the moon. We'd never... No, no, please, please.

We were so close.

You know, I was almost in touch with your husband.

Lady, we had a deal!

Wait.

Wait, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Look, I've been under a lot of pressure lately. You

have to...

We're in an accident right now at the

corner of 34th and Powell, where a car ran a red light and smashed into the

pool. A driver, a man in his early 30s, was said to be driving under the

influence of alcohol.

I don't believe this. It's the name of a man, as charges are still pending.

The man remains in critical condition at the Oak Ridge Hospital and...

Well, it's beautiful.

So much space.

How long have you lived here? Three months.

I used the money from the divorce settlement for a down payment.

I just loved it.

Well, given the disturbances you described, there's always possibility

is haunted.

Look, I want to show you something. Come here.

Okay, this started today.

What?

The furniture. She keeps moving it.

She?

Yeah, we've heard a woman's voice.

Could you help me?

Yes, ma 'am.

I think, uh... It's always the same. I think she keeps trying to put it back in

some kind of path of derangement.

But I like it this way.

I guess this is the part where you tell me I'm crazy.

I can definitely see you're not crazy.

You.

Oh, look, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Look, I know that I'm not supposed to be here,

but there's something going on in this house.

You have some nerve.

Oh, God, it's going to sound kind of weird.

I got hit in the head, and ever since then, I keep on seeing these terrible

things.

Oh.

This is great. This is just what I need. Do I have to get a restraining order?

I saw a woman, all right? She was crying.

There was a gun.

Don't you ever quit.

I can't explain this. Look, I saw this.

It was in the bedroom upstairs.

You have to leave.

Yeah, I know. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. I only... What's this all about,

huh? Do a little remodeling?

through a woman in that window.

Mrs. Hopp doesn't need to hear this. No, it's not a scam.

You gotta believe me.

You watched your father die in that cave.

What's a sepulcher?

Get out of here.

Now.

We did the standard background check on Michelle's house, looking for any

unusual deaths that might account for the haunting, and we found one.

Sandra Bruskin.

That's Victor, her husband. Her father, William Carter, built the house for them

in 1927.

Two years after they were married, she committed suicide, self -inflicted

gunshot wound.

June 2nd, 1928. Now, the details are sketchy, but apparently she and Victor

no longer living together as man and wife in the house.

Well, suicide, there's your unresolved...

Death? Yeah, given Michelle's own history of abuse prior to her divorce,

possible this ghost is responding to a kindred soul.

What about Star?

He did talk about a gun.

He could have dug up the same information.

No, that doesn't explain how he would know about Derek's past.

Good point.

There have been verified accounts where a blow to the head has resulted in ASP.

You mean like Peter Herkos?

Yeah, exactly.

So, Rachel and I will continue working with Michelle tomorrow, and I want you

and Nick to check out Star.

We need a clear picture of how he operates.

He's not going to be very responsive.

Oh, but if he has something up his sleeve, I want to know what it is.

The old couple I bought the house from said a lot of this stuff's from the

original owner.

Hmm.

This is great.

Yeah, so Sandra's father originally owned this whole...

area. It was a farm, and she fell in love with his foreman. They got married,

and that's when he cleared this property and built them a house.

Yeah, and he sold it after she killed herself.

What exactly are we looking for?

Reasons. The more we know, the better chance we have to bring peace to this

house and Sandra.

Eric, I think I found something.

Oh, handwritten.

Yeah, it looks like a journal.

Is there not a place where you could stay for the next couple of days? No,

be fine.

You sure?

I'm just worried about Peter, though.

I think when he gets home from school, I'm going to send him off to stay with

friends until this is over.

All right.

I don't know if I can wait for the honeymoon We're gonna have such a

life

whenever we want, raise a family, go old together.

I saw her. The goat.

You saw her?

Yeah, she was right there. It was like she was talking to someone or something.

I don't know. This is too crazy. I was just talking to the wall inside. I want

you to go and stay there until this is over.

Ah, you guys seem to be everywhere.

We just want to talk.

Something really is going on in that house, isn't it?

Well, maybe you can tell us.

Oh, wait a minute.

That's what you people do, isn't it? You do the real thing.

Sometimes. What was it you saw?

Why should I tell you? You wouldn't believe me anyway.

He's a fraud. Let's go.

Wait, let's... Everybody's getting their chance.

Come on, Alex.

Okay.

Give me your hand.

You hurt her, I hurt you. Man.

I mean, you got it, too. I...

Okay.

No, no, no, I don't believe it.

What? What is it?

You... I saw you in that house.

You're gonna die.

I never thought I'd be saying this, but I don't think Jeff was faking it this

time. That's quite a turnaround. What makes you think that?

What he says, how he says it, but mainly it's just a feeling.

Despite his track record.

I hate to say this, but it sounds like a guy trying to get your attention.

Oh, why bother? And why go back to Michelle's? What's the point? She knows

he's all about.

He also said he saw you dead on the floor.

Yeah, but that terrified him more than it did me.

I mean, who knows what he really saw?

It can mean anything. He has no real experience.

I wish we could just test him to see if he really does have the sight.

Yeah, well, until we find out more about him, just be careful.

Any luck with reconstructing those pages we found? Yeah, yeah, these are the

most pertinent entries.

Won't take place in the same day to year apart.

Looks like Victor Breskin became a different man once he married into

He started beating Sandra, and she became despondent, felt trapped and

And on their first wedding anniversary, he left her, and she became more

depressed. Well, unfortunately, that follows the pattern.

The victim fears loneliness more than they do the abuse.

Well, the last page is a rambling suicide note. She said she couldn't take

anymore. She claimed that she hid her secrets up in the attic, and that night

she killed herself.

It was their second wedding anniversary.

Well, there's your test.

Just take one of the scraps of the journal and ask him to touch it. If he's

real, who knows?

Maybe he can help us.

It's worth a try.

Where did you get all this stuff, huh?

Oh, no.

Some lady wanted to talk to her dead dog.

Did you have to bark?

All right, even I wouldn't stoop that low.

It's my old man's parents.

A circus.

It's a living.

I modernized the routine.

Grandma always claimed to be the real thing.

I guess it runs in the family.

All I need is a nice whack in the back of the skull to bring it out to me.

So tell me what you see.

It depends on what I touch. It's different every time.

Can you describe the vision?

It's not what I expected. I always thought that it would be misty and

And it's not?

I don't get it.

I'm seeing things from both the past and the future. What's that all about?

Well, maybe it's not as crystal clear as you think.

And if I see things in the future, can I change that?

Well, that's a good question.

Knowing what's going to happen might be creating the very future you're seeing.

You're right.

Well, whatever it is I'm seeing is scaring the hell out of me.

Yeah, I understand.

Listen, I want to try something.

It's just a little test.

What kind of a test?

Give me your hand.

Hold this.

Okay, okay.

Tell me.

There's a closet in the attic.

I don't think it's going to make too much of a difference where we drill in

chamber. Well, let's have a look.

Wait, wait, don't do that.

This guy again.

Alex, what is it?

The closet in the attic. When I gave him that piece of paper, this is exactly

what he saw. This is it, this is it, exactly.

It was so real. Well, real or not, this is not a game, so if you want to stay,

stand over there.

Yeah, but I can help.

By doing exactly as you're told.

Don't open up that wall!

Alex. Okay, come on. Let's just stand up. Yeah, but I had the vision! I know

had the vision, but in having that vision, you've opened up a channel.

very vulnerable right now.

I wouldn't do that. That's very dangerous.

So you have a better idea?

I... I don't know.

Okay, so if you want to stay, you have to be quiet. Okay?

Okay, I got a visual.

It's like some old newspapers.

There's a date.

June 2nd, 1927.

It's a year to the day that Sandra Bruskin committed suicide.

Peter's, uh, I... What's he doing here?

I'm trying to help.

Who let him in?

I did. I'm sorry, Michelle.

We have to explore every possibility, and we thought that he might know more

than we thought. I don't care what he knows. I want you out of this house now.

Fine. Have it your own way.

Wait, Jeffrey.

I can only stick my neck out so far.

Listen, you have a gift. Use it. For what?

This isn't me, Alex.

Oh, man, I was a fool to think I could be part of this. I should run my head

into a brick wall to get rid of it. The real thing is wasted on me.

Listen, it doesn't have to be that way.

Just go and play with your little ghost, okay? I'm going to go back to the real

world.

I'm telling you, Mel, my new act's gonna blow you away.

No, listen, if it doesn't double attendance in the first week, I'll give

your money back. No, in fact, you don't have to pay me until you're completely

satisfied, huh?

What do you mean? It's Vegas. Of course you can find a stage.

Perfect! You just let me pack a toothbrush, I'll be there in a day and a

huh? Oh, hang on, hang on.

You better give me a phone number where I can reach you during the day.

Okay.

You won't be sorry.

Why the hell would...

I told you.

Can I listen?

I thought I couldn't stop.

You're alive.

I was wrong.

Oh, you mean the vision. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, that's what brought me back. It was just like being here.

I thought you were dead.

You know, I need to know exactly what you saw.

Oh.

Well, you guys were cutting through this wall, and all of a sudden there was

like this explosion of light.

I got here as quick as I could.

Whatever it was that hit him must have been trapped in that wall for years.

I can remember feeling it hit me while we were cutting through the wall.

Yes, the four of us must have absorbed the initial release, and then Jeffrey

caught the full force when he pried up the board.

Are you saying that he saw it before it happened?

It looks that way.

Well, assuming that whatever it was, it dispersed.

Why don't we go upstairs and have a look what's behind that wall?

I don't know. I think it's time we got Michelle out of here. We don't know

what's going to happen next.

Listen, Michelle, you and I can get your son. You can come to my house and stay

there.

Yeah, his pulse is stable. I think he's going to come to any time.

Well, don't worry. I'll take care of him.

Is it going to take very long? I mean... It's hard to say. It must be all night,

maybe longer.

Why don't you try to get some sleep and we call you if anything turns up.

Okay, well...

Thank you.

Thanks a lot. Just be careful.

And call us when it's over.

John.

How are you feeling?

It's all from 1927.

It looks like whoever built this house had a skeleton in the closet, literally.

Yeah. The quickness of...

Jeffrey?

Victor?

What's wrong?

You're wrong.

It's

Victor.

Zandra's haunting this house because Victor's soul has been trapped in the

attic.

Sandra committed suicide after she killed him.

What's wrong?

You.

You, what's wrong?

Victor.

Victor.

You're not going to hurt me anymore.

No! Derek!

Oh,

I have waited for this.

No! Jeffrey!

Now you both perish.

We have to force the spirit out.

Are you all right? I have her.

Jeffrey!

Jeffrey!

Jeffrey, listen to me.

If the spirit is using your body, you have to fight back.

Retake control.

No fury like a woman scorned.

What?

Is it over?

Yeah, I think it is.

How about you?

Are you okay?

Yeah.

At least I think I am.

Oh, man.

Oh, is it always so rough?

It has its moments.

Heaven's side isn't always a blessing, huh?

Yeah.

They're still gonna knock him dead in Vegas.

So to speak.

You've been given a gift.

Don't abuse it.

He's right.

With a knock on the head, maybe it's all gone.

Really? You never know.

Well, excuse me, but I got a plane to catch.

What about the people you duped?

Oh, what? Now, don't worry. I still got that list, you know.

If this is as big as I think it's going to be, I'll make good.

Really?

You believe me, don't you?

Yeah, I kind of do.

Thanks.

I knew you would.

With any luck, maybe I'll come back and give you a hand again sometime.

Yeah, well, with any luck, let's hope it will never come to that.

There's an ancient proverb that warns us to be careful what we wish for.

Because we just might get it.

Sometimes, as Jeffrey Starr discovered, being into the future and the past can

be more a burden than a blessing.
