Original subtitles

Eric.

Eric!

And then I wake up.

Utterly terrified.

I don't know why.

Does the woman in your dreams seem familiar to you?

I can never see your face clearly.

Why?

Well, unidentifiable figures in your dreams can represent

repressed emotions from past experiences.

Our minds are a place where we can explore the things

we can't bear to examine in the daylight.

Like Dr. Jackal, trying to understand Mr. Hyde, if you will.

I definitely have enough to oppress.

Regret is simply part of the human experiences.

Well, sometimes I think I'm a little too human.

Well, when we experience things that are too difficult

or painful, we tend to push them back.

You said these nightmares started about seven weeks ago,

and you and Eric got married.

Oh, please, doc my problems started long before

I met Eric.

You've told Eric the extent of your past trauma?

Yeah, of course, I mean, that's how we met.

Right?

Our grief is our strength.

Share trauma can often make you feel closer to someone

than you really are.

And there's a reason that groups like this have

prohibitions about dating.

I thought this was a judgment free zone.

I'm just stating the facts.

No judgment.

I'm sorry.

I just...

Just get in my own head sometimes.

We all do, that's what therapies for.

But still Eric's situation is a bit different than yours.

We all cope differently with stress.

Yeah, well, I coped my way right into the loony bin.

We don't use that expression here,

and in patient treatment is nothing to be ashamed of.

Let's talk about the move, it's soon, huh?

Wow.

I mean, I couldn't be happier.

I love it here in Seattle,

but Ravenwood is gonna be our home

and it'll be good to get away from the city,

and yeah, a fresh start if you will.

New marriage, new home,

lots of change in a short amount of time.

I feel like a different person when I'm with him,

you know, stronger.

You are stronger than you think you are, Mary.

But Eric, I'm not afraid.

I'm not worried about my mood swings or just...

Well, the point is I know he'll be there for me.

You know Mary, what you're talking about

certainly can work for you.

The dreams might be rooted in anxiety about your move

or even about experiences here in Seattle.

Once you're settled and in therapy, young lady,

I wonder if your dream is might subside.

That would be good news for a change.

Dr. Abbott, about what you, you said earlier,

you don't actually think there's a connection between

the nightmares and my marriage, do you?

My job is to mirror you Mary,

just to point out the coincidences.

We're yeah, we're getting short on time.

So I should remind you that I'm now offering

telehealth sessions.

Not that I can say I prefer to see you in the flesh,

but it should be a good stop gap before you settle on a new

therapist in Ravenwood.

I'd like that.

One other thing, Mary?

Yes.

Your husband came by to see me the other day.

He did.

I will say it's a good thing for a spouse to be

committed to your progress.

A strong support system is critical

and he does seem to care a great deal about you.

But?

He was a very insistent Mary.

Husband or not, we take confidentiality here very seriously.

So let's stay in touch, shall we?

Yeah, absolutely.

Ready to go?

I think so.

Everything all right?

Yeah, yeah.

Just, I'm just a little sad to see it all go.

Yeah.

Let's go.

Welcome home Mrs. Olson.

It's really beautiful.

Isn't it?

It was built in 1879.

Was in Carla's family for generations.

That's strange.

I almost feel like I've known this place my whole life.

Yeah?

It's sort of got that look to it.

You know the kind you see in those spooky old movies,

"Dracula's Castle" or whatever.

Oh, it's almost like the house from my dream

that veranda though, the old Victorian windows.

Early some where.

What are you getting at?

I don't know.

That's just strange.

Nonsense.

I mean, I told you about the place,

then you had a dream about an old house.

You know this is what old houses look like.

Didn't Dr. Abbott teach you about transference?

You've seen one crumbling mans, you've seen them all.

Okay, but that's not true.

I'm sure it is.

If I would've told you to draw me a picture of an old

19th century home, I guarantee you,

it would came out looking very similar to this.

Besides you barely even seen it yet.

Come on.

It's lovely, Eric.

I suppose that's the den there.

Yes.

And then that would make that bedroom.

That was Carla study.

Well, we'll leave it.

- Mary. - That was her room.

Mary, you're my wife now.

Come on, let's take a look at the rest of our house.

That's pretty foreboding, isn't it?

Do you like this?

Carla, she got rid of all her parents' furniture.

She insisted.

"This is ours" she used to say.

We can't do that with all the junk lying around.

We're gonna make it ours but...

Now that you're here, maybe it can be lovely again.

Until our furniture gets here, but

until then I suppose we'll just have to make do.

Some of the stitches will need to be spruced up a bit.

No wifi here either.

Luckily, even a hundred year old home as its

fair share of candles.

It's twice as romantic.

Oh, speaking of romantic,

I forgot to carry you up at the restaurant,

Mrs. Olson.

Mrs. Olson.

Mr. Olson, I love you.

As you should.

Now, shall we continue the ground tour?

Chandelier's even in the kitchen.

Yeah, I'll have to get those turned back on tomorrow.

When I head into town.

And run back the grocery store.

Yes.

And maybe tonight we'll order a pizza.

Come on.

This is the guest room.

And that is our room.

So what do you think?

I love it.

It's perfect.

I'm glad.

This is gonna be great for us, Mary.

I promise.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Who kept this place looking so nice.?

That would be Gregory.

Gregory.

Sanibel caretaker.

He and Carla used to play together as kids.

Carla, she hired him once as a groundskeeper

when his father passed.

I swear he loved that garden so much

he would have worked for free.

Gregory, Gregory Simple.

Can't really comprehend that Carla's.

I think he still expects her to show up one of these days

so he can scold her about neglecting the garden.

You still love her don't you?

- Mary? - No, no, no, no.

I'm not jealous.

I'm grateful.

Like I think once you love somebody,

like really love somebody, it's like a skill.

It's something she taught you

and well you bring that into our relationship.

If anything, I wish there was a way I thank her.

Oh, look it's Gregory.

Come on, let's say hi.

Gregory.

Gregory.

It's been a long two years.

Hasn't it been Gregory?

This is Mary.

My wife.

Hello?

Eric has told me so much about you.

Well, I hope we can become friends, Gregory.

I love working in the garden.

Would you like that for Mary to help you?

Yes.

Yes.

Well, shall we leave you to it?

Huh?

What'd you say there Gregory?

Yes.

Yes, yes well, it was good to catch up.

Okay?

It was nice meeting you.

That is Gregory.

He seems nice.

He's a good guy, but a little odd.

He kept this place up all by himself.

He's an artist.

I suppose.

So we go back inside?

You go ahead, I think I'm gonna take a look

around the grounds.

Okay.

Artist.

Mary.

Dinner is served.

You know, ones the rest of that stuff arrives,

we'll have to have a real dinner.

This is perfect.

I haven't had pizza in a long time.

Ah, ah, let's say grace.

Dear Lord, thank you for this bountiful harvest.

Please watch out for this house and bless both Mary and me

as we embark on this new life as one.

In the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit.

Amen.

Amen.

Dig in.

What was that?

House settling I bet.

These old homes, they never stop making noises.

No, it almost sounds like.

Someone going around, doesn't it.

Trust me.

It's nothing.

Old creepy house like this, you know,

sometimes when you've been ripped through here

and it can sound like whispers.

And if you have an overactive imagination,

places like these can play tricks on you.

Yeah, yeah.

Wanna look around?

No, no I'm okay.

You sure?

Yes, yes.

I'm gonna have a look around.

No, Eric, please, it's fine.

I want you to be able to relax here.

Eric.

Eric!

Eric.

What is it?

You scared me?

Yeah, you scared me too.

I was calling for you.

I didn't hear you.

Come on.

Dinner's getting cold.

Did you find anything?

Nope, nothing but some old cobwebs

and creepie floorboards.

Come on.

No, Carla, send them away.

Send them away from here.

Oh, I've got to get that water heater going.

That's the first and only cold shower I'll ever take.

What's you reading?

Be reading.

Are you good?

It's the heart remembers.

It's about this man who expected all these great

and wonderful things to happen to him.

And so he isolated himself and proceeded those dreams.

They had one friend, this woman who left him completely.

Then one day she died and at her grave,

he realized that she was the great

and wonderful dream he always wanted.

Does he know what he's missed?

So things are good.

Very good.

And Eric is a godsend.

And you're adjusting to the environment well?

Yes.

Well, Ravenwood is a wonderful little town?

Almost picturesque.

You know, like a little painting you'd see

in an art gallery.

Not that I've seen much of it.

And the house?

Eric's wife's house, how are you adjusting to that?

It's it's a beautiful house.

I dream home, really?

How about the woman.

Woman?

The woman in the window.

It must be very hard for Carla to share her home with you.

Mary.

Eric.

Eric.

Hey.

What are you doing?

I had a nightmare.

And you weren't there so...

How are you.

I thought I heard someone walking about.

I went downstairs to check I thought maybe it was Gregory.

Come on.

Come on.

Oh, I think she wanted me to find that picture.

Mary, just stop.

But it's like, I've seen her before.

Like I knew she looked like that, like-

- Mary, I forbid you to talk about it.

You forbid me?

I'm sorry.

That's not how I meant it.

All I'm saying is it's painful for me to,

I've always wondered if there was something more

that I've could have done for Carla,

but you keep talking to both of us back

into those same old fears,

and we haven't made it through the first night yet.

I have to talk about it Eric.

I know.

I have to talk about... I know, I know it just,

it scares me too.

I remember how it was for her.

How are you feeling right now?

Honestly,

I feel like,

I feel like there's something inside me

like deep in the back of my head that keeps saying

that I was supposed to come here,

and I mean been this place, this villa spooks in the shadows

and every time I cross a corner, I just feel like.

Mary, please,

please don't don't talk like that.

I know.

I know.

I don't mean to scare you or trigger you or anything.

I know it's just come cool, it's my own...

It'd just my own fear, my own guilt.

I don't wanna be-

- Hey, hey.

Look at me.

I want you to listen to me.

And I want you to really hear me, okay?

You were unwell, yes, but you've been cured.

Hey look, look, you've done so well,

you've you've come so far, I love you.

And I don't want you to throw up some old fears

just because of some nightmare.

Okay?

Look, you may as well know Gregory,

he comes around at nights some times and works the garden.

He doesn't understand boundaries.

I'm gonna talk to him tomorrow.

This won't be a problem again, okay?

I promise.

Let's just get some sleep.

See how we're feeling in the morning, okay?

Come on.

Let's just try to get some sleep.

See how we feel in the morning, all right?

Come on, okay?

Come on.

I'm, sorry.

You don't need to be sorry, hun.

We won't have to worry about Gregory's

night probably anymore.

I wish you wouldn't have done that.

Why, he's trespassing?

Oh, I don't want to hate me.

We pay his salary.

He can't afford to hate us.

Besides as long as he got the garden he's happy.

Just relax.

Hi, hi, sorry.

I'm sorry I'm late.

The service out here is abysmal.

No problem.

How are you adjusting?

Fine.

Fine, I guess.

Houses make noises, but some of the things you're hearing-

- It sounds like footsteps.

It's not like, like when Pete hung himself, you know.

God, just tell me I'm not crazy.

Good news.

Crazy isn't in our vocabulary.

Have you brought this up with Eric?

He said I was just imagining things.

Do you think you were imagining things?

I mean, how could I.

God, I just wish I can trust myself.

You can.

And frankly, Mary, you must.

Hello, Gregory.

How are you today?

The garden looks nice.

I hope you're not mad at me for what Eric said.

Eric doesn't like me.

No, of course he does.

He's-

- Carla was my friend.

She called me Greg.

She was the only one who called me Greg.

Eric didn't like it when she called me Greg.

He'd say, "I don't care if you grew up with him."

She'd say, "He's my friend."

I'm sorry, Gregory.

Greg.

She said, "That's enough for today, Greg."

"That's enough for today."

Then she went away.

She didn't come back.

Greg.

What did I do?

Nothing, you didn't do anything.

You mind if I help you?

Like this?

Yes.

Are you okay?

You remind me of her.

I hope that's a good thing.

She cries.

Cries?

In there.

Dead people don't cry, Gregory.

What, Gregory?

I hope you still talk to me after.

I hope you still call me, Greg.

Well, Greg, where are you going?

Greg.

Mary.

Sure you're up for this?

You may cancel it's not too late.

No, no, it's fine.

I wouldn't want you to cancel on the account of me.

And beside what kind of an impression would that be?

I called them on getting the wifi.

They told me it'd be a week if not more.

Can you believe that?

No, it's crazy.

I'm sorry you had to miss your last session

with Dr. Abbot.

Oh, I didn't, I just wander around the grounds

until I found cell service.

You did?

And then I stopped in the garden to help Gregory.

You don't say.

They're here.

I swear by the end of the night,

I just wanna say fine, your mother doesn't love you,

and then should have a bottle of vodka down his throat.

No one can compare with Dr. Nichols

when it comes to bedside manner.

I can tell you that much.

But, that guy was an asshole.

Most of my patients have actual problems,

but this Steven character was so far up his own.

We get it.

Okay, okay.

I swear you get these two together

and they act like teenagers.

Alex has been counting the days since Mr. Moore told him

that you were coming back to Ravenwood.

Hey, a town like this half the population is over 16,

the other half are farmers.

And what am I supposed to do?

Just to talk to myself?

Might help you relate to your patients.

How is it that you two met?

Do you remember I said,

I used to work for Laughlin Douglas?

Right out of school.

The consulting firm.

Well, Alex here bought himself some very expensive

medical record management software,

and I help digitizing his old files.

I still have no idea how that works, to be honest.

So that's where you met Carla.

Yes.

Carla was a patient.

The don't always, well...

Some people respond to treatment better than others.

I see.

Here, let me take that.

Oh, no let me have-

- No, no, you're out guest.

But if you like you can keep me company

while doing the dishes.

Oh, of course.

Let me get that for you, Al.

Have another drink.

We'll join you shortly.

Oh, twist my arm.

Join me?

Of, course.

She's really great, very sweet.

Mary?

Who else?

Yes, Mary.

She's nothing like Carla,

which honestly I think is for the best.

What do you mean?

Well, you know, so many men when they lose their wives,

they just go and marry the next one just like the first.

- I think. - Right?

Honestly, it's just not fair,

but a living person trying to live up to the memory of a,

not that you're doing that obviously.

Right?

Yeah, you know, we just, we're like masochist.

We just torture ourselves with this longing for the past.

I thought Alex was the psychiatrist.

Yeah, sorry.

Just can't help, but pick up a thing or two

after 30 years of marriage.

Yeah, just watch what you say around Mary, okay?

Of course.

Mary, she's in, had the happiest past.

She's got a lot of triggers.

A lot.

Of course.

Of course.

Do you mind if I ask.

Mary's not like Carla because she's like me.

What do you mean?

Her brother,

they were close and her parents, they died in a car wreck.

It was tragic.

Her brother, he joined the Marines and something happened.

Iraq, I think, she was never really the same.

She tried her best to take care of him, but, well,

I know how that goes.

Jesus.

Yeah.

She was the one that found him.

It broke her for awhile.

For me, Carla's passing it was,

it made me want to embrace life even more.

But Mary, I'm scared she's having the same call-ins

her brother did.

You mentioned before that you heard Eric

was back in town for,

Mr. Moore.

Yeah, Eric's lawyer, and co-executor of the estate.

Haven't you met him yet?

No, we don't really talk about money.

Well, Mr. Moore told us that Eric had gotten remarried

to somebody that he was very much in love with.

And that he was moving back to this god forsaken wealth

on the donkeys rump.

I see.

So I hear you're in therapy.

I know it's still got a bit of a stigma,

but it's nothing to be ashamed of.

This town is big enough for two mental health professionals.

I might be in therapy myself.

You have some baggage yourself then.

That's why I got into medicine in the first place.

Maybe if I could help enough people

might be able to find out what's exactly going on in this

rusty old crank case, huh?

But, seriously,

long distance psychotherapy isn't exactly beneficial.

I'd be happy to take you on as a client.

Out here in the sticks,

conflict of interest is just a fancy phrase

that city folk came up with to make everything harder.

Dr. Nichols.

Call me Alex.

Just think about it, okay?

I'm sure Dr. Abbott is a wonderful woman,

but there's just no need to continue on with the doctor

who's so far away.

Feels like we didn't really have a chance to chat,

such a lovely dinner.

It's my pleasure.

Love to do this again soon.

It's just so great to have you in our lives.

You too.

Eric's great to have you back, man.

It's good to be back.

Oh yeah.

We've got to get a golf game going soon

since I can kick your ass in game.

You're on.

Drove safe you too.

- Thank you. - We will.

Good night.

It's lovely to finally meet Mary, don't you think?

She's a real sweetheart?

Oh, it makes sense you know.

You know who that was, right?

Who do you mean?

Sole heir to the JB Levy fortune.

The cosmetics company?

Yeah.

Eric knows how to pick them, doesn't he?

So what do you think about Alex and Jenny?

They're lovely people.

Right.

I missed them when I was in Seattle.

So you and Alex got a chance to get to know each other

a little.

A little.

So?

So what?

What do you think about working with Alex?

Oh, I don't know about his therapy,

they're nice to have as friends, I just don't think that-

- He's here in Ravenwood.

Yeah, but doctor at Abbott, we're just cheer it all.

How long have you been seeing her.

Three years or so.

And no offense to her,

but you're still jittery all the time.

The other night you made me walk upstairs

in the middle of dinner to make sure there was no ghosts

walking around.

I don't know, I just...

All I'm saying is what if you gotten everything

you're going to get out of Dr. Abbott.

You know maybe someone new can help you

get to the next level?

I don't know.

Do you wanna wind up right back in the loony bin?

Just sleep on it, okay?

Mary.

Eric.

Eric.

Eric.

Eric.

Eric.

Eric.

Hey, hey.

It's okay, it's okay.

I got you.

Why were you?

Why were you?

I was right here, I didn't move a muscle.

No.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Last night I woke up and you weren't there.

So I went looking for you and I guess

I must have passed out.

Where did you find me?

Where you are now, bed.

How was she like?

Who?

Carla.

Mary why the fuck would you ask me about that?

This is her house Eric, she was your wife.

I think I've got a right to know.

Do you know how hard that is to talk about.

You of all people should understand that.

Fuck.

I'm sorry but, I'm hearing things, Eric,

voices, footsteps.

And just the other day, Gregory,

he looked at me in the eye and he said,

it's still her house.

I'm glad you brought in the village idiot to consult.

Instead of some dooshbag ghost hunter, at least.

Cold spot, it must be paranormal activity

or the sewage line.

- I'm sorry. - Fuck.

I'm sorry I didn't mean to.

Maybe it was mistake to come back here.

I thought maybe we could take something dark and painful

and turn it into something beautiful.

You've been through the same shit that I have.

I just thought you'd understand me.

Of course, I understand.

Our grief is our strength, remember?

I am more than my loss.

You really hearing voices?

Like before, when I was in the hospital,

after my brother...

You hear Pete.

No.

No, nothing like that, I can never replace them.

But,

I don't think I ever told you this.

At least not all of it.

Well, I told you how it was with Pete.

After Iraq, you know, the mood swings, the nervous fits.

He would call me, somebody was breaking into his house,

stuff like that.

And and then he started talking about hurting himself.

Taking care of him, became a full time job.

And I tried to get help.

I took him to doctors, but nothing.

I was so, I got so tired of rushing over there

in the middle of the night, you know, just to talk him down.

When he finally wailing away,

I sort of felt relief.

Jesus.

That's not all I felt, of course, that's not all I felt,

but once the thought popped into my head.

It just broke me.

And it's how I ended up in the hospital.

And the voices would tell me

that I betrayed him, that I let him die.

That I might as well have killed him myself.

You know what's funny?

They put me on suicide watch after that,

like I do that after I saw what that,

for my brother's death did to me.

Ironic.

Wait.

I thought you went to therapy because you tried to,

you know.

Nope.

I had a breakdown and a CVS,

an display.

I see pumpkin's everywhere.

But I never, never...

I see.

There's a difference, you know,

between wanting to die and not caring if you live.

And it took a long time.

A long time and I know you don't think so,

but a doctor Abbott has helped me.

And I learned something, there's a cost.

There's a cost for everything we do,

and I thought maybe I had already paid, but maybe.

I need some coffee.

I know, it wasn't a dream., I'm sure of it.

Mary.

He says I was there all night,

that I was just in bed next to him,

but I've never been to the attic before.

And when I went back up there, it was all the same.

It was all just like how I saw it, except.

Except what?

Photographs.

Mary where did...

What are you doing?

I...

What the f...

I...

Eric what are you doing.

Eric what are you doing with those.

Should have been done a long time ago.

Eric.

Eric what are you doing?

No, Eric, you don't need to do that.

All these reminders of her is just fuel

for your delusions.

I want you to be well again.

And if that means getting rid of every single last

trace of her then so be it.

Eric she's a part of your history.

You can't just... No.

No.

These pictures mean nothing to me.

I want us to be happy.

We, we can't do that if you keep jumping at every shadow

and making up these conspiracy theories.

I just...

Eric.

Just leave me alone.

Okay?

Please.

I swear., I mean, how is this supposed to work?

Calm down.

Everything will be fine.

Remember I'm a doctor, okay.

I mean, she won't get off this doctor Abbott thing.

I don't know what to do.

She needs to be seeing you.

It's fine.

I'd never give up on a patient.

Even in unwilling one.

Stop!

What do you want?

What do you want Carla?

What are you doing?

What is this?

A speaker?

It sounded like whispers before.

Yeah, interference can do that.

You ever listen to the baby monitor.

I found it hidden under the sink?

You don't hide speakers.

You put them in unobtrusive places,

you ever heard of surround sound.

What the hell do you think this is, Eric?

What, Mary.

First you're telling me the voices, the whispers

I'm hearing are interference on a speaker,

hidden under the sink, and then what?

The creaking, the voices, the footsteps,

that's just the house settling.

That's that's an earthquake because we're on a fault line.

What is this Eric?

You need to calm down, okay?

Relax.

Hey, can we...

Hey, hey.

Hey, can we just, can we move on and get through this?

Yes?

Yes.

Yes?

Hey.

I'm sorry.

You don't need to be sorry.

It's all right.

We can do this.

Okay?

Come on.

Goodbye Dr. Abbott.

Bitch.

Eric.

Eric!

Hey what is it?

Don't you hear that?

Hear what?

That.

I don't hear anything.

Mary wait.

The noose, Eric.

The noose.

There's no noose, Mary there's nothing.

Hey, hey.

Mary.

Mary.

Mary.

She's coming.

Then she passed out.

Panic attack, I think.

Yeah, of course.

Let me know how it bands out.

I will.

Thank you.

Gregory.

Gregory.

Me and Mary we're leaving this place tonight and,

we're not coming back.

Mary she's,

she's sick.

Just like Carla, you understand?

Yes.

Yes?

Well we no longer need your services anymore.

Go home, Greg.
