Step in. Okay.

Easy, easy, easy.

Come on, old man. I'll need a little more help than that. Old man, you just

your end up, you smart... Language, Will.

Smart Alec. Smart Alec, I said.

Gee, Dad, I never said anything about a pool.

Yeah, right.

Come on.

Okay, easy, easy, easy.

Logan. Easy.

Oh, man.

That's the last of it. Oh, God.

You're never so crowded.

Well, once we get rid of all that beast stuff, it'll all fit.

You know, I remember visiting this place when I was a kid.

This place, you know, was constant motion all the time.

There's people and food, you know, full of laughter.

You know, now it's full of weird and creepy stuff.

Hey, Dad.

Was Auntie really as nuts as everyone says?

Who says she was nuts?

Everyone knows about Auntie living alone in this house. All right, that's

enough.

Crazy Auntie left us this house. Don't forget that.

Now, do me a favor. Take this upstairs.

Ah, will the indentured servitude never end?

Tell me about it.

He's right, you know. What?

I'm grateful to your aunt for this house, but it is a bit weird in here.

It's just so full of everything, you know? Like she didn't throw anything out

30 years. Okay, she was strange. She was strange.

Don't waste your time checking the attic for bodies. She was harmless.

Listen to you. You hadn't even seen her for at least 10 years.

For all you know, there could be a troop of Boy Scouts up there.

Maybe.

Talk about

weird.

Mom, Dad?

Yeah, I was down here trying to get this furnace started.

Since the beginning of time, mankind has existed between the world of light and

the world of darkness. This journal chronicles the work of our secret

known as the Legacy, created to protect the innocent from those creatures that

inhabit the shadows and the night.

Alexander, child.

Alex, listen to me.

I'm beyond all hope, Alex.

No, no, Grandma. I'm not going to let you die. Listen to me, child.

If you never see me no more, know that I love you.

And I'll always be here.

You know it. You know it. Grandma. What?

Help. Grandma!

You've got to help.

Thanks,

but I think I just need a break away from this place

I'm buying a trip to the middle of nowhere as soon as Rachel and Derek are

Hello?

Yeah, who was it?

Uh, Susan Thomas?

Yes, hello.

Alex?

You don't know me.

I'm a friend of your grandmother, Rose Moreau.

Really? We were neighbors.

Well, in Louisiana, that means she lived a mile down the road.

Yes, of course. I think she might have mentioned you.

I'm sorry to bother you, but we just moved into the area and... Well,

strange happened last night in our new home.

What is it? Well, that's the thing.

I really don't know.

Rose called me last night and suggested that I contact you. Last night?

Yes. He said you might be able to help him.

So you were both out of the room when it happened?

That's right.

We heard this crash and came upstairs to find Logan on the floor.

Is he okay?

Yeah. Yeah, doctor says he's fine. No sign of concussion or anything like

He's upstairs sleeping.

We left things like this so that you could see for yourself.

And did you actually see the bookcase fall over?

I think it was an accident, but she insisted on calling you. An accident.

That bookcase has been standing there for 50 years. I think it's odd it would

choose now to fall over.

My wife has a Ph .D. from Duke.

Every now and then, an old Louisiana backwoods superstition peeks out. I'm

saying this was anything other than a strange coincidence.

All I want is an explanation. It's probably something simple.

Fine. Do you mind if I have a look around?

Sure. Okay, and you said you were in a basement when the bouquets fell?

Yeah. I'll give you the tour.

Good.

I feel like I know you, Alex.

Your grandma's always been so proud of you.

How did you know her?

Well, Logan used to ride his bike by her house on his way to school.

He actually became friends with her first.

You said that you spoke to her last night.

She called right after the accident.

She was... It wasn't her, Susan.

It wasn't my grandmother.

Alex, I've known Rose for three years. It was her. It couldn't have been my

grandmother, Susan, because she passed away almost a month ago.

What?

Did you notice anything strange when you bought the house?

Oh, I didn't buy it. I inherited it.

My Aunt Dee died about six months ago, and she left it to me.

I haven't been here since I was a kid.

Are you her only family?

No, she's got a son, but...

I guess my cousin didn't want it.

To be honest with you, we didn't question it.

I'd lost my job in Baton Rouge and the family needed a change, so... We took

house as a blessing.

Yeah.

Logan's room is right over here.

Okay.

What the hell are you doing out here?

I thought the doctor told you to stay in bed.

I thought I'd just get some fresh air.

Kids.

Big boy, this is my son, Logan.

How you doing? You look like you're going to fall in there for a minute.

No, I'm just thinking.

Friends with my parents?

Let's come down to help them a little bit.

Honey, this is Alex Moreau.

Hi, you knew my grandmother.

Oh, you're Rose's granddaughter.

Cool.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Sorry, I've just been getting these really strange headaches lately.

Well, nice new to your family.

You think they actually got a phone call from Rose?

I don't know, but something happened here, and I'm sure of it.

Speaking of something happening, what happened to you in the dark?

I felt like I was drowning.

That Logan was drowning me, and then he turned into someone else.

Who? I don't know.

But one thing was clear and unmistakable about him.

Rage. Total rage.

No.

Yes, he's fine now, Derek.

I'm just doing a check on the place right now.

No, nothing yet.

Okay, I'll talk to you in the morning then. Night.

Save him.

Somebody help me, please.

Save him.

I'll make him pay.

Nothing really extraordinary about the house, except that it's over 100 years

old. A few kids have been born now, but none have died.

Anything about...

A boy about ten years old?

No, not yet, but then I'm just in the 1940s.

Look, it's not like there's some kind of central registry or something, right? I

gotta go through every newspaper article, records of birth and death, all

that gack. Did I say anything?

Like you had to say anything.

Look, if a ten -year -old boy died in that house, I'm gonna find him.

I know. I know you will.

Thanks, Nick.

Sure.

Hey.

You okay?

Thanks for the concern.

Sure. I'll call you if I find anything.

Seek on the net and you shall find.

I'm Matthew Thomas.

Let's dance.

Alex, listen to me.

You are measured by the good you do in life.

Remember that, Alex.

You want to be able to hold your head up when you come to the end of your

journey.

Yes, Grandma.

You have to stop worrying about me.

Too much to do.

Got to help the boy.

Help him before it's too late.

Help! Hey!

Somebody!

Help!

When I called Will, you were right.

Logan nearly drowned in a pond and they took him to SF Journal.

I've got to go see him. No, you've got a little bit of time. They're going to

take him in overnight for observation.

So, what happened?

I was there.

I felt everything that Logan was feeling. His terror, his suffocation.

Sight? Yeah, I thought as it was happening, but it was so intense this

Why? Why now?

I don't know, but Rose was there, and it had something to do with her.

Do you think that you somehow inherited her power?

Yeah, I... At the start of the vision, Rose was there, and she was trying to

tell me something.

Something about this kid that's trying to drown Logan.

Is him?

That's him.

I didn't think this was real. I thought it was a nightmare.

It's real. His name's Matthew Thomas.

He was 10 when he drowned in a pond back at the family house. I guess everybody

was out. He went for a swim and got a little unlucky.

How do you like it?

Huh?

Matthew kept saying to Logan over and over again, how do you like it, as if he

was blaming him for something. thing and and he kept calling him jd

oh yeah he was pulled out of the water by his older brother

jeffrey david jd he looks just like logan

well he would they're related it says here that jeffrey was 17 when matthew

that's the same age as logan do you think that matthew's mistaking logan for

brother i put money on it

So in order to stop Matthew, we have to find his brother Jeffrey.

Well, unfortunately, there's about as many Jeffrey Thomases as there are John

Does. So I called a friend at Social Security, and they're going to pull a

of all those born in the 1940s. A friend? What's his name?

Don Anik.

She'll call in a couple of hours.

Okay, but meanwhile... Why don't you go see Logan?

Well, I don't get it. That water is way too deep. Logan's an excellent swimmer.

I thought maybe he'd hit his head on the way in, but the doctor said there's no

evidence of that.

Did he say anything about what happened? No. He was awake for a while, but

couldn't remember the accident.

It doesn't make any sense.

You know, what was he doing in the dock in the first place? He was supposed to

be breaking leaves.

I don't know.

I think there might be more going on here. Something involving your family.

My family?

Do you remember Matthew Thomas?

Matt? Yeah.

My cousin, he drowned when I was a kid. What did Matt have to do with Logan?

Well, we think that Matt might have something to do with what happened.

How?

Did my grandmother ever tell you what I actually did here in Fentonville?

Only that she was proud of you and that you're some kind of investigator.

Miss Moreau, what's going on here?

Well, we think Matt's ghost is haunting the house in the pond.

Ghost? A ghost?

Did your aunt ever say that she talked to Matt after he died?

My aunt Dee talked to her cat.

She was a loon.

Did Jeff ever mention anything strange happening at the house after Matt died?

No. No, Jeff joined the army right after Matt died. I haven't spoken to him in

years.

I know you guys mean well, okay? I... I... I saw Matt, and I felt his hatred

your son.

I think you'd better leave.

Okay, okay, whether you believe us or not, for Logan's sake, will you please

consider moving out of the house until we can figure out what's going on? I

can't afford to move anywhere.

Then you can stay with us.

We'll think about it.

Come on. Thank you, Ellen.

All right, thanks a lot, Mom.

Bye. Any luck?

Yeah, just last loan address.

Just a couple miles from here. That's the Tenderloin. Yeah, even without my

jacket.

In

here,

I thought you never took me to nice places, huh? You're the best, Al.

How are you doing?

Good. How are you?

Nice and bad, you know.

We're looking for a Jeff Thomas.

My lady said he might be here.

Is she the psychic one?

These are the guys celebrating his birthday.

Thanks. Great, thanks.

Jeffrey Thomas?

Look, tell my ex the damn checks in the mail.

Actually, we're not here about your ex.

We're here about your brother, Matt.

We need to talk to you about what happened at Storrs Bond.

Well, it's Nick Boyle. I don't care who the hell you are. What do you want?

Okay, Nick, let me handle this, all right?

All right.

But if he even crosses his eyes at you, I'll be right over there.

I'll be on it.

Listen, we don't want to cause you any trouble. I... Can I buy you a beer?

Yeah, sure.

Can we get two beers here, please?

Your brother died at the door at the moment, right?

Drowned.

It was a long time ago.

You found him after he drifted away.

That's right. I came home and found him.

You weren't with him when he went swimming?

You deaf.

You moved out of the house right after he died. In fact, almost immediately

afterwards, right?

Joined the army.

Thought I'd see the world.

Is that the real reason, or were you running away from something?

None of your damn business.

Did anything strange happen in that house after your brother died? No.

Things move by themselves?

Who are you?

Strange sounds at night?

No. Maybe your brother's voice, huh? Look, lady, back off. I don't know who

hell you are. I'm somebody who needs your help, Jeffrey, and I would

it if you'd stop lying.

You know your brother's spirit is still in that house, and that's why you never

went back. And your mother knew it, too. She heard his voice, didn't she? Didn't

she? She spent the rest of her life trying to console him. And where were

Jeff? Huh? Where were you? You shut the hell up.

You're going to hit me?

All right, cool it, all of you.

Your cousin Will and his family have moved into that house.

Matt is going to take his revenge out on an innocent boy. Now, how does that

make you feel? You get the hell out of here.

I think that went well. You think that went well? Oh, I looked into that man's

face, and I knew he'd be able to tell us something, and I knew he never would,

and that made me so mad, and I blew it. I'm sorry.

For what? I don't think sweet -talking a guy like that was going to work. I

mean, he's been running from this for over 30 years.

Please, sir, would you help us? We're not going to make a guy like that fight.

The only way you get the truth of a guy like that, slap it out of him.

I didn't mean that literally.

Hey, you sure you're gonna be okay?

Only if you stop asking me that.

No, I don't know what I can do if I just feel better if I stay here tonight, you

know?

You want me to stay with you?

No. One of us should be enough.

All right.

I'll see you in the morning, then. Listen, listen, um... I'm sorry.

I guess I've just been really torn up about my grandma, you know?

It's really hard for me to accept that she's gone, and I just blame

myself for her death.

It's not your fault.

I just... I just wish there was something more I could have done.

Alex, sometimes things are going to happen no matter what we try to do to

them. I know. I know.

Thanks for saving my butt at the bar and for worrying about me.

I...

You're going to ruin my rep.

Hey, didn't mean to startle you.

No, you didn't.

You're Alex, right?

Right.

How do you feel?

Okay, I guess.

Are my mom and dad here?

No, no, not yet.

Listen, do you remember anything that went on in that car? Hey, champ.

What are you doing in my son's room?

Well, I thought it would be a good idea if I stayed here last night.

Did you? How do you feel?

Oh, pretty good.

Doctors say you can go home. You feel like getting out of here?

Absolutely. All right, let's go.

Listen, Susan, Will, the offer still stands. If you want to stay at our

you're more than welcome.

I don't think so. We discussed it, Alex, and we appreciate your help, but we

just want to get Logan home.

No, no, please, listen. We have listened to you, Ms. Murat, and now I want you

to start respecting my family's wishes.

We've had a couple of mishaps, okay, but to blame it on some ghost, it's just...

Mishaps? You call Logan nearly drowning a mishap?

What about my grandmother calling you? You call that a mishap?

Goodbye, Ms. Moreau. Okay, fine, fine. If you won't listen to me, what about

your cousin Jeff?

Why do you think he chose not to live in that house? I mean, it was given to him

originally by your aunt. Do you think that he enjoys living in the Tenderloin?

How do you know where he lives? Have you been talking to him? Why are you

snooping around my life? Because I'm worried about Logan. I'm worried about

Logan. Goodbye, Ms. Moreau.

How'd it go?

Oh,

that good, huh?

They think I'm a crackpot.

Well, you can hardly blame them. I mean, they go in there talking about ghosts,

right? Their son almost died. Wouldn't you do anything possible to make sure it

didn't happen again?

Are you running away from home?

I had another dream about Matt last night.

I don't know what it means. All I know is that Logan's in danger. And I don't

care if I have to sleep in my car in front of the Thomas' house.

I'm going to make sure I help that kid.

Sounds like a good idea.

So I've been digging around a little bit. You want to hear what I got?

Yeah. It sounds like we're dealing with a water spirit, somebody who died of

drowning. Kind of an ugly way to go.

An angry, unsettled soul.

There's no sure way to stop him. You just need to try and right the wrong.

Well, that can be hard without Jeffrey.

And one more thing.

The longer that the spirit hangs around, the more powerful it becomes, the more

damage it can cause.

Great.

Hello?

Yeah, send him up.

I just think Logan's old man had a change of heart because he's a Mr.

the front gate.

Okay, I'll meet you downstairs.

You sure you're okay?

Mom, leave the kid alone, Susie. He's 100%. You hungry, Logan?

Starving. Go put your stuff away. I'll make you a sandwich. Okay.

I found you out this card you left last night.

This is a bad time. Oh, no. No, please, come in.

First of all, I... I owe you both an apology for last night. My... My mouth

a habit of getting ahead of my brain.

I know what you mean. I wasn't exactly on my best behavior either, so... Well,

it's just that when you started talking about Matt...

It's been so long since anyone brought him up, it kind of threw me.

No, that's not right.

I told myself I was going to tell it straight.

So here it is.

I was there when my brother died.

I loved him, you know.

He was my little brother.

I looked out for him.

But sometimes he could be a real pain.

Always looking for attention.

He got plenty from my mother.

Could do no wrong by her.

Anyway, one day, Matt and I were at home alone.

Oh, you!

You jerk!

Matt was nagging me.

I didn't believe him.

He was always threatened to swim out to the float.

He always got scared, turned around.

I'd snuck a beer from the fridge.

I guess I fell asleep.

He must have got into trouble on the way back.

I thought he was faking it.

Matt?

Matt?

Matt!

By the time I found him, I pulled him out.

I told him I'd gotten there after he'd drowned, but the truth is...

The truth is, at first I made

myself believe the lie.

It was easier, you know.

Wanted it that way.

Then things started happening.

Things? Well, it's like you said last night, you know.

Nat's voice.

Things moving.

Once I even saw him standing on the dock looking up at my window I

Left the next day Joined the army

Never went back there again you up for it now

Hey, Dad.

So what's with the joke? What joke?

Yeah, putting my room back to that 64.

Well...

Time

to pay up, J .B.

Stop, Jamie.

I wouldn't in a long time.

JD really hurt you, didn't he?

Swim, JD.

What? Docking back.

Swim.

Can't we just talk about this? Swim. Now.

Swim.

Swim.

Swim. Or I'll hurt them.

Chip and I will look in the house.

Yeah, I'll go check around that.

Don't do this, Matt.

Is it really you?

J .D.? Yeah.

Yeah, it's me.

You let him drown, J .D.

You killed me.

I didn't mean to, Matt.

You were there. You laughed at me. I thought you were faking.

If I knew you were in trouble, I would have helped you.

Liar!

I'm the one you want.

Your real brother.

I loved you, Matt.

And I let you drown.

It's my fault.

I let you drown.

Jeff?

Yeah.

I'm here.

Thank you.

Even in death, my grandmother tried to help me.

She helped me overcome my own grief and guilt and gave me this gift.

The sense to understand people and to try to help them.

And by doing so, hopefully a part of her will live on in me.

I love you grandma.

Sleep well.
