If my notions of the afterlife been correct,

with them.

With him.

After the lights went out for me, another clicked on,

so to speak.

An ancient deal had been struck long before John and I arrived.

Eternal life in exchange for the soul of the vessel.

I was just a bonus.

Wrong place at the wrong time, perhaps.

God knows.

But, here I stay in the dark cool halls

of this forsaken building.

I haven't seen the others, but I sense they are here.

A heavy darkness still surrounds this temple.

Just as it did the night I arrived at 223 Wick.

The night I died.

Good morning, Jonathan.

[Father Murphy] Good, good.

Well, of course you've been in our prayers.

These notions of yours have raised a few questions.

Some of them upsetting.

So, I'm sure you can understand our concern.

Thank you, Father.

You and the parish have always been supportive.

You got my letter then, yes?

About Saint Andrew Abbey?

Came a few days ago.

We appreciate the work that you're doin' here as a teacher.

But, your lack of sleep

is takin' a toll on your health and your ability to keep up

with your duties as a teacher.

Pushing yourself too hard and we all agree you need a break.

Saint Andrews is a coveted assignment.

They have agreed to host you during your sabbatical.

I don't think leaving right now is responsible.

We're in the middle of exams.

My students, they... they need me.

Think of it as a period of reflection.

And your classes will be covered.

Also, Saint Andrews can use

the extra set of hands.

This will be good for everyone.

We only want what's best for you, John.

You needed a letter to say all that?

Well, in these delicate situations,

formalities must be must be observed.

Well then, formally, I should be allowed to plead my case.

These visions I'm having...

Murphy.

These have been written about for centuries.

Don't start this again, John.

I will not hear anymore of it.

Your delusions are almost in direct conflict

with the teachings of the church.

Well, I'm sorry your faith can't handle the challenge.

I thought, as a man whose entire career was based

on inciting fear, you would be interested in my theories.

You cab will be here 5 p.m. sharp.

There should be enough time for you

to pack after your classes.

Father, please rest well.

I will be the one

writing the recommendation for your return.

And I pray for news of swift mental healing, so I may do so.

My grandfather was the highest ranked leader

in an all male fraternal order.

They built this place over a hundred years ago.

What happened to them?

Sadly, they grew old.

They died.

Memberships were down.

And eventually they ran out of money.

Now, no one has time for secret societies and club fees.

My grandfather bought this place for next

to nothing and left it to me.

My siblings were a little upset

when they read the will, though.

My little sister, especially.

But, I was his favorite, after all.

These family matters can be very difficult. I understand.

Sounds like he loved you very much.

So what are you planning on doing with the place?

Oh, Paul didn't tell you?

Mm mm.

I plan on making this a gathering place

for those seeking a greater sense of community.

As a man of the cloth, I'm sure you can appreciate that, Father.

Oh, absolutely.

What community are you seeking to assist?

I see this as a living art space for children.

But, before they can come, this building needs some help.

Will you help us, Father?

M... me?

I don't think renovation is within my skillset.

This building has ghosts. Many of them, I suspect.

What do you mean?

You may think I'm crazy, but far too many things

have happened to ignore.

No. You can tell me.

[Kat] Well, first I thought it was my grandfather.

But if it's him, he's not alone.

What makes you think he's not alone?

[Kat] Father, I don't mean to frighten you,

but at the risk of sounding desperate,

I hear voices, whispers.

I can't really ever make out the words.

Father, I don't mean to be so forthcoming,

but I am at my wit's end.

I love this building, but it is not clean.

God protects us from the powers of darkness.

I truly believe that.

I can certainly go room to room and give

a blessing before I leave.

Oh, would you?

[John] Yes, absolutely.
