place.
Larry it's me...
I need your help again I'm trying to locate a patient-employee manifest...
who stayed at St. Matthew's Hospital.
- Where is it? - Where was it? They closed it down.
But it was in New York, it's where the Mayflower used to be.
- You say the Mayflower? - Yeah.
- Impossible. - Yeah, but do you have any idea...
where they would store records for hospitals been closed for over 50 years?
No, I don't...
but I can send someone to City-hall to check it out...
a Public Hospital, should be a record there.
- Tell me exactly what you need. - Same thing...
I'm looking for a patient or employee with the name Esseker.
Alright, I'm on it, should be a couple of hours and Ben...
get it done.
- Hey, did you get it? - Yeah...
I think so... huh, Ann... Anna Esseker.
I didn't know what you wanted, so I got all her medical files.
This is perfect, Larry... this is perfect.
What happened? You been in an accident?
Anna Esseker files, did you have to go see Hawthorne?
No, I didn't have to go anywhere...
All the files in that place are in storage, because case evidence.
- Why because of the fire? - No, no, it's before the fire...
it's a totaly differnd case.
Anna was a patient at St. Matthews, she was in psychic...
run by a doctor Cain.
Now get this, she was only 12 years old when she died.
- What? - When the nurses were on their rounds...
first thing in the morning, Oct. 6, 1952, they discovered that all the patients...
had left their rooms during the night and they all gathered in the hall.
Ben... they were all dead, including the girl.
I mean, they- they killed each other, I mean it was a slaughter house.
That's when they closed the place down, no one knows what really happened.
What about the doctor... Caine?
When they arrested him, they found him death in his cell same evening.
He slashed his wrist with a piece of cell mirror.
- Thanks for your help. - Good luck.
Damn!
Shit!
Jesus.

WELCOME TO PENNSYLVANIA
- Yes sir? - Excuse me.
- Is this the Esseker farm? - What is it, Jim?
I do not know, ma... what can I do for you, sir?
I'm looking for Anna, Anna Esseker.
There's a man looking for... did you say Anna?
Yes, Anna Esseker.
An Anna Esseker, ma.
Look, I'm sorry to bother you. I must have the wrong place.
What is it you want with Annie Esseker?
I'm doing a research paper on schizophrenia.
I became familiar with Anna Esseker case.
I... I just wanted to ask her some questions.
Go tell grandpa there's a man here, who's asking about his sister.
- Sure. - Thank you.
Grandpa?
You know? Up to this day, visions of violent fits, still haunt here at night.
But I helped my father fix up this part of the basement...
especially for her.
Her fits were to violent...
my mother couldn't make her sleep anymore.
Well, we had every priests, doctor, healer, coming in...
from all over the county...
but no one could help her.
But finely a Dr. Caine from New York, answerd my parents cries for help.
He rejected the idea of demonic possession, said he didn't believe in it.
He was convinced Anna sufferd from a rare form of peronality disorder...
mirrors could help her.
He wanted to Anna under his care at San Mathew's.
My parents were very poor, but...
he agreed to cover all costs at the hospital.
- Where did she go after the hospital? - Don't you know? She died there...
with all of Cains other patients.
Mr. Esseker, I read the file...
Anna left the hospital two days before the massacre.
Doctor Caine altered the documents, so she can disappear.
Whe... whe...
Whe... where... you'd get that document?
I need you to tell me where she went after St. Matthews.
Well, she came back and stayed with us a while.
What'd you mean for a while?
What happened? Why did she leave?
I don't wanna talk about it.
Why did she leave?
Strange things started to happen in the house.
With Anna?
No, no, not with Anna anymore.
She was totaly cured.
Strange things started to happen with the mirrors, didn't they?
Mr Esseker, I need to know where is Anna now.
It's a matter of life and death. Do not make me threaten you.
We... we send her somewhere, where mirrors are forbidden.
Where the mirrors couldn't find her.
Where!
St. Augustus monastery, on the road to Riverfield.
How can I help you?
I'm sorry to disturb you, sister...
but, I've come to speak with a member of your community.
Anna Esseker.
- Is she expecting you? - No, not really.
If you're not listed, I can not help you, sir.
Can you at least tell her that I've come from New York...
to speak with her, I... I work with Dr. Caine from St. Matthews Hospital.
It's... it's very important, please.
St. Matthews closed down in 1952. Who are you?
My name is Benjamin Carson. I work as a night watchman...
on Sixth Avenue in New York City.
In the building that used to be St. Matthews hospital.
- What is it you want, Mr. Carson? - M... my family is in danger.
It was threatening and was asking for you.
I came all this way, to ask you, why...
why the mirrors, that were left over from St. Matthews hospital...
are so desperate to find you.
You see Miss Esseker, if you don't help me...
I will lose the most important thing to me in this world...
and that's my family.
Sit down, Mr. Carson.
The mirrors are merely windows of our world.
It is not the wish of the mirrors to find me.
But what is imprisoned, inside them.
What is imprisoned inside them?
At the time, when I was at St. Matthews...
Dr. Caines therapy for personality disorder consisted of...
locking a patient in a room with mirror for several days...
forcing them to confront their own image.
Dr. Caine was wrong about that theory.
No cure for Schizophrenia, Mr. Carson.
It was something else and whatever it was...
it left me and went into the mirrors.
Since that day,it has been collecting the souls of the people it kills.
I'm sorry, but if I agree to go with you and return back to that place...
I will make it possible for demons...
to cross the threshold back into the real world.
You do understand what that means to my family.
You can't do this, you need to come back with me.
I will pray for you, and your family.
That's all I can do right now, Mr. Carson, I'm sorry.
- God bless you. - Gary Lewis, Terrence Berry...
and many other men have died trying to find you.
And look for me too, two days ago my sister was murdered.
My family will be the next if you don't help me.
Please, please... look here, here...
This is my family, my wife Amy, and my daughter Daisy and my son Michael.
They're beautiful, they're innocent, they'd never hurt anybody.
Here, take... take the photo, just... just take the photo.
- Look at them. - I'm sorry.
Who the hell you think you are! They're just kids!
- Hello? - Amy!
- Ben, where are you? - At the monastery.
- Did you find her? - Yeah.
- Yeah, did you talk... - Amy?
Michael. Michael?
Ben, hold on, Michael isn't here.
- What'd you mean? - I don't know...
I fell asleep with the kids in the bed and now I don't know where he is.
- Michael! - Amy, what's going on?
Is everything alright?
Oh, fuck!
Amy, what's going on? You got Michael?
Oh, my God! Ben, there's water everywhere.
God...
You gotta be careful with the water, it creates reflexions.
It's all over the house, writing on the fucking mirrors.
Amy, where is Michael?
I don't know where he is, I don't see him anywhere.
Amy, listen to me! You gotta stay away from the water...
get the kids and stay away from the water.
- Michael? - Amy! Amy?
Shit!
- There's no visits here. - Don't give a fuck!
My family is not dying tonight. You are coming with me.
Michael?
Daisy...
Daisy come here.
Come here, baby.
Mom?
Come on, dear.
- What are you doing in there? - Everything will be alright.
No!
- No! - Oh! Daisy.
Honey? Get down here, get down, alright baby.
Oh my God are you okay? Oh my god!
Oh baby, don't do anything, don't move, don't move...
- Mom, why'd you do that? - Look at me sweetheart...
your mom would never hurt you, you know that...
Here, sit down here, baby...
Let me see, let me see...
It hurts...
It will be okay, alright? I know it hurts, stay right there.
Give me your hand, give me your hand, baby, you hold it really tied, okay?
That's all it takes... just like that, okay.
Now... listen to me, baby, you have to be very brave.
I need you to stay here, no matter what happens...
no matter what you hear, do not move from the closet...
until I come back, you understand me, right? Okay.
Do not move! I love you.
Hold on.
Michael?
Where are you?
Michael?
Michael!
Michael, what're you doing?
Don't be scared, mommy, he just wants to play with us.
Michael, I want you to drop that knife right now.
Do you hear me?
You know very well you're not allowd to play with knives.
Don't you?... Come on!
That's a good boy... Give me the knife, Michael.
Michael! Michael!
Michael?
Michael!
Michael?
Michael! Mike! Michael!
Michael?
Why're you hiding from me, sweetheart?
Michael...
He is waiting for me downstairs.
Take me inside...
from now on, I have to keep my eyes closed.
Stay with me.
- You're in the room. - Strap me in the chair.
I spend the darkest days in my life in this room.
Are you sure there's no other way?
This is for your family, Mr. Carson. For your family.
