Original subtitles

- You have no idea where we are, do you?

- We took a wrong turn, Megan.

We'll look for the road and we'll flag a car down.

- Okay.

- Hey.

Sorry.

It's gonna be okay.

- Okay.

- Do you have any service?

- No, my phone died an hour ago.

- Same.

Hey, look.

Slow down.

I don't think there's anyone home.

- See if there's a phone inside.

- Your call did not go through.

Please try your call again.

- Damn.

Someone here?

Hello?

Hello?

- Shit.

- Oh, hey. - Steve.

What are you doing here?

- Got a job in the city for a few days.

Laura said I could stay here.

She didn't mention you'd be here too.

- Yeah.

Well, that's what sisters are for.

- Foster sisters.

- You gonna rat me out?

- Oh, hello.

- Hi, I'm Steve, Abby's brother,

- Foster brother.

Steve, this is...

This- - I am leaving.

- And I thought you'd never settle down.

- So what's this job anyway?

Some wife wants proof

that her husband's not actually here on business.

- You know, I'm actually glad you're here.

You remember a while back when you asked me if I could look

into your biological parents?

Well, I couldn't find anything,

but then after some digging,

a lawyer contacted me looking for you.

Think you should call him.

- Hi, yeah.

This is Abigail Becker.

Okay.

- Like I said, this is a highly unusual situation.

I have here a last will and testament

dated August, 1994.

- Yeah, I, I grew up in foster care.

I never knew my parents, so-

- Yeah, I know, I know.

Sorry.

No, what makes this unusual is that in a case like this,

the bank should have taken the house and sold it by now,

but it looks like it's just been sitting in limbo.

Now that you've been identified as the beneficiary,

well, let's just say you're a very lucky young woman.

- Yeah.

- Just need you to sign a few things.

- Sure you don't want me to just drive you?

If you can wait another week, I can-

- Thank you,

but Laura called and she never calls,

so can only mean one thing.

- Hey, Laura, I-

- So I just talked to my neighbor.

Guess who's been squatting at my place

for the last two months.

- Laura, I- - This is so typical.

You know, we do so much for her

and then she just takes and takes and takes.

Sure the whole place is like a shithole now.

Don't even get me started on the money she owes me, us.

- Laura, I'm with Abby.

You're on speaker.

- Hey, sis.

- You know what?

I don't care.

What is wrong with you, Abby?

I don't know what to do.

Get outta my place.

- Look, I'm, I'm sorry, okay?

I'm leaving today and I'm gonna pay you back.

I inherited a house upstate, so I'm gonna head up there

and fix it up and sell it, okay?

- You're not just going there to get fucked up

and then come crawling home when you can't sell it?

- No.

- Fine.

No excuses.

- I love you.

Don't worry about Laura.

She'll get over it.

You know how she is.

- No, she's right.

Just, I've always wanted to know more about my family.

I can wipe the slate clean.

- Let me know when you get there.

- I will.

- Hey, Abby, I'm your family.

Okay?

- I know.

Hi.

Is there a taxi service or something around here?

I just got off the train.

- There's no taxi service here.

- Oh, really?

Okay.

That's not good.

I'm trying to get to 38 Miller Road.

Any chance someone here is headed that way?

I, I can wait.

- I suggest you get back on that train and head back home.

- No, I, I, I have, I have a house and...

Look, does anyone wanna give me a ride?

I'll, I'll buy you a beer,

two even.

Well, I have nowhere to go,

so guess I'll have a beer.

- Hold on, I'll take you.

Sorry about those guys.

- Yeah, not the most welcoming crew.

- I think, I think you just reminded them of somebody.

- Thank you.

- You need me to come inside just to make sure it's safe?

You know, I don't think anyone's actually been

inside this place in like 20 years.

- I think I'm good.

I was told they were getting the power

turned on this morning, so...

- All right.

Well, I'm bartending tomorrow afternoon.

You know, the place we just came from.

If you want to come by, if you get bored, there's Wi-Fi.

- Thanks, Kyle.

- Thanks... - Abby.

- It was nice meeting you.

I hope to see you soon.

- Oh God.

What the hell is that?

Thank God

Shit.

- Hey, you made it.

- Yeah.

Hey, I'm here.

- So I ran into an old friend getting coffee

after dropping you off.

She's a real estate agent.

She says, she says city people are always looking

to drop money into places like this,

especially since lockdown.

She said just sends some pictures.

She can see if she can help.

- Steve, I told you that I got this.

- It was just lucky.

I'm not trying to take over.

- Fine, yeah.

I'll send, I'll send some photos.

- Okay.

Be safe.

Let me know if you need anything, okay?

- Thank you, Steve.

Let's see if this thing still works.

- Hey, honey. - Jesus.

Oh, you scared me.

- Sorry.

- Oh, what is that?

- Take a guess.

- How much was it?

- I got a good deal.

- Mm-hmm.

- I just thought it'd be nice

to have some home videos.

Everything going on, you know,

something for you to look back-

- Stop, stop it, stop it.

I'm not, I'm not going there.

- Okay, I'm sorry.

I also thought that it'd be good for your sessions, right?

You said that that could be helpful, you know?

- Thank you.

Good news.

- Hmm?

- Public Health Clinic in Del High,

they said they'll bring patients here.

- So you're telling me our house is about to be overrun

with homeless psychos?

- Stop it.

- Okay. I'm sorry.

I'm just...

That's great.

I love you.

- I love you.

- What do you say we start one

of those home videos right now?

- No, no.

Not a chance in hell.

- Your sessions, right?

You said that that could be helpful, you know?

- What the fuck?

- Your sessions, right?

You said that that could be helpful, you know?

- Good news. - Hmm?

- Public Health Clinic in Del High...

- Mmm.

Ah.

- You really got those abs...

Can you stop it?

- I like it.

How are you feeling?

Tell the camera so we remember.

- , Um, I feel happy.

- Come on.

You're a psychologist.

You can do better than that.

- Mmm.

Okay.

Tell the camera how you are feeling, Mr. Green.

- How do I feel?

What you doing?

- Nothing.

- How do you feel about getting outta here,

paying somebody else to take care of our dishes?

- Mm.

- Mm. - Okay, one condition.

- What's that?

- Camera's not invited.

Do you have to, all the time?

- It's just for evidence.

- Evidence of what, Jason?

- Memories.

Okay.

It's not for me, it's for you.

- Jason.

We moved out here

so you could focus on getting better.

- I know.

- You're not giving up on me, right?

- No.

- Promise me.

- I will not give up on you.

For real, ever.

Where are they?

- They were over there,

all just like perching on the grass.

Do you, do you have to, all the time?

- It's just for evidence.

- Evidence of what, Jason?

- Memories.

- We moved out here

so you could focus on getting better.

- He was sick.

Hello?

Hey.

Thanks for getting me.

- Of course.

- Can I, can I ask you something?

What exactly happened in that house?

I mean, based on everybody's reactions so far,

I feel like there's something you're not telling me.

- I think that's probably something you should

look up yourself.

- Standing outside the home

of Jason and Cameron Green,

two weeks after the horrifying discovery of the bodies

of at least 13 people.

This comes several months after police investigations

into several missing persons cases.

We are now learning after an examination of dental records

that the remains of Jason and Cameron Green

were found on the property,

their bodies having been burned in the backyard,

while the whereabouts

of their newborn daughter remain unknown,

police have stated that they're expecting the worst.

And finally we just got a quote from the police chief.

He says, "We send our thoughts and prayers

to the victim's families.

As the investigation continues,

we hope this town can grieve and heal together."

- Leave!

Nobody wants you here.

There's the fucking door.

Go!

Are you deaf?

Get outta here!

Go! - Hey, hey.

Stop it!

- Kyle, get her outta here.

She's bothering the customers.

- I am so sorry.

I didn't, I didn't know,

and I shouldn't, I shouldn't even be here.

- It's not your fault.

You didn't do anything wrong.

Those people, they're, they're just stuck.

That man's son, he...

I should have warned you.

You okay?

- Yeah, I think so.

I don't know.

Um,

I have booze in the house.

So, be honest.

You think there's actually any chance

of me selling this place?

- Not to anybody around here.

I've actually always wanted to come inside this house.

Nearly as spooky as I thought it would be.

Thank you.

Your mom is actually the reason why my dad

drank his feelings and never went to therapy.

- What do you mean?

- Well, that's how they found the bodies.

Most of them were your mom's patients.

- Yeah, but didn't she die too?

- Yeah, she burned out back.

She was a witch.

She burned you and then your dad and then herself.

Or when your dad figured out what she was doing,

he had to burn her because she was a witch,

then he accidentally burned himself.

Not sure how you survived though.

Too much?

I'm sorry. I realize I'm probably being

way too frank about this.

- No.

It's fine.

I asked.

I just, I don't see it,

my mom doing that.

I don't know, I just don't.

- Look, what's it matter, right?

I mean, you barely knew 'em.

- I didn't know them at all.

I mean, I grew up going from foster home to foster home,

and I always wanted to know who my parents were,

but it feels like the more that I learn,

the less I actually know.

It's like if I can figure out what happened here,

then I can, I don't know.

- I know what you mean.

Makes sense.

Also, if you do come up with a logical explanation

for what happened here, it'd probably go a long way

and help you sell the place.

- Can I ask,

why did you help me at the bar?

- I just, pretty girl walks into the bar

and I thought, hey, why not be nice back?

- Maybe.

But here's the thing,

I'm not that nice.

- Abby, whatever this is, I'm not into it.

I gotta get the fuck outta here.

- Oh, well.

- Well, that's how they found the bodies.

Most of them were your mom's patients.

- Hi there.

Thank you for agreeing to being filmed.

- Hey, sure.

No problem.

Thank you, thank you.

Hey, listen, this, this is just for your,

your records, right?

I really don't, I really don't want anybody else

to know about this.

- Oh, of course.

It's just for my own review.

- It's funny, I didn't know there was even an office here.

I used to do this route every day.

I'm, I'm a mailman.

Well, I'm your mailman.

- Oh, wow.

I had no idea.

It's nice to meet you.

And this, this is actually my home office.

You are my first patient since moving here.

- Okay, great.

That's great.

- How are you today?

- I'm, I'm not well.

- Okay.

Can you tell me your name?

- What is that?

- It's, it's a camcorder.

I'm just, I'm recording our session so that I can review it

to make sure that I give you the best care I can.

- How did I get here?

- It's okay.

You're safe.

Social services brought you here.

Can I ask, are you in pain?

- Yes.

- Where?

- Everywhere.

Everywhere.

He's, it's, it's inside of me.

He's inside of me, but he doesn't like it in there.

He wants to get out.

- Who?

- The devil.

- Hello, Dr. Green.

- Who am I speaking to?

- Call me whatever you'd like.

- Can I call you Kevin?

- It's thrilling, isn't it?

- Excuse me.

- It's a girl.

- How would you know about...

- She's beautiful.

- Who?

- She looks just like you.

- Hey, how's it going?

I just got off the phone

with Rebecca, the real estate agent.

Some, some really dark stuff.

- Yeah, I know all about it.

- You do?

- Yep.

- Okay then.

She said, you know, it's not impossible,

but obviously it makes a sale.

- Can I ask a favor, Steve?

- Sure, anything.

- I found some stuff in the house, a bunch of names.

If I send you the info, can you look into it?

- Maybe.

I'm a PI, not a cop.

- I know you know people.

Just, I, I think something else happened here.

- You believe in like the devil and ghosts

and curses and shit like that?

- What are you talking about, Abby?

- I found a camera.

I think it's evil.

Steve?

- I, I think you should come home, Abby.

- Yeah, okay.

You think I'm crazy.

- No, I think this is a lot for you.

I think this would be a lot for anyone.

Just come home.

We can finish the case from here.

- No, I, I need to finish this.

- Why?

- Because it's where I came from.

- No, it's not.

Whatever is in that house has nothing to do with you, Abby.

Abby?

- Hey.

Sorry.

I knocked, nobody answered.

- Who the hell are you?

- I'm Kyle's sister.

But he didn't come call last night or this morning?

He sent this to his friends last night.

I'm sorry.

He's such a dick.

I just wanted to know if you knew anything.

- No, sorry.

You should not be here, by the way, in this house.

I've heard about some

stuff that your family-

- Look, I don't know anything about what happened

to your brother, okay?

- Okay.

Can I at least have your number just in case

you find something out?

- Yeah, okay.

- Is that- - What?

- Nothing.

It's nothing.

- Good luck.

- Dr. Franklin, can you hear me?

- Yes, yes.

I'm here.

- Is it okay if I, if I record this call?

- Of course.

- Were you able to take a look at the materials

that I sent over?

- Yes.

I've had some time to examine them

and confer with some of my colleagues.

If what you're saying is true, it's quite astonishing,

the idea that inanimate objects could possess

some supernatural qualities.

Many cultures believed that an image of a likeness

would take a little bit of your soul.

Others believed that these images offered glimpses

into another world,

a parallel universe stuck in a single moment in time.

The photo of the man you call Kevin

is a particular concern.

On the left side of his neck is a symbol,

almost burned into his skin.

That symbol is an ancient demonic mark,

a symbol of the possessed, the damned.

If the events you describe are indeed accurate,

my fear is that this Kevin

brought the possession into your home

and transferred it to this camera of yours.

- What can we do?

- Have you filmed anyone else since?

- No, no, I haven't, but, well-

- Listen very closely.

There can be no more patients in that house

until you get rid of the camera.

- My, my husband, he's, he's sick,

and the camera-

- What?

- I think, I think it's talking to him.

- Listen very closely.

There can be no more patients in that house

until you get rid of the camera.

- what the fuck?

- Cam, cam, where is it?

Where is it?

- What?

- The fucking baby.

I'm not stupid.

Where is it?

- So many people gone.

- Where is it?

- They needed help

and you brought them here under my name.

- Honey, we could have it all.

I'm okay now.

It worked.

- By trading their lives for yours.

It will never stop.

You will never stop.

- I swear to fucking God,

I'll point this camera right at you.

- Go ahead.

- Where's my fucking baby?

- They heard me screaming

and they came.

They took her.

She, she's safe.

- Don't make me do this.

- You will never, ever see that baby.

You're still in there.

- What the fuck?

Oh no.

Come on Abby, please pick up.

- Hey, this is Abby.

Can't come to the phone right now, so leave...

Abby, come on.

- Hey, this is Abby.

Can't come to the phone right now,

so leave a message at the beep.

- Abby, please, please, please pick up the phone.

Abby, you gotta get outta the house right now.

- Oh God.

- I did some digging into the cases.

Eight years ago they made an arrest.

He was a John Doe.

He was admitted into a mental hospital

and two years ago he escaped.

Abby, John Doe is your father.

He faked his death.

He left all of his teeth with one of the bodies.

Abby, you've gotta get out.

He's been living in the house.

- I'm all better.

- Over here.

- I'm in love with you.

So long.

- What do you want?

- To show.

- I don't understand.

Please, what is going on?

What did you do to my brother?

- Please.

Please.

- You'll have to know.

- Somebody help me!

Somebody, help!

Somebody!

Help.

- Help!

- Abby!

Abby?

Abby?

Abby?

- Fuck.

Steve.

Steve. - Stop.

- Don't, don't.

- I love you.

I will not give up on you, ever.

- Please, dad.

- My sweet guy, my baby.

It's okay.

You can do this.

For me.

I'm sorry,

but you're not my fucking family.

No!

Okay.

Okay.

Okay?

- He orchestrated this whole thing once he found you.

- He was sick and he had a disease.

It's genetic,

and the camera, the deaths kept him alive.

And my mom,

I saw her.

She wanted me to do it,

to sacrifice you,

to save me.

You were right.

Nothing here has anything to do with me.

- We'll figure it out.

- I love you.

- I love you too.

- We should go.

I'll get the keys.

- I'll be here.

- Steve!

No, no.

- My baby.

My honey.

- God, no, please, no.

No!

No!
