Oh, fuck!
I wasn't trying to escape.
No, pIease. Don't.
Oh, God. I don't want to die.
Yeah. Yeah, I'II make you cIean.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to...
Hey, sis.
What time is it?
Just after 8:00.
You want me to make coffee?
No, I gotta go. I'II caII you Iater.
You sure there's nothing I can do?
Angie, everything's gonna be fine. Just go back to sIeep.
All right. l'm coming. l'm coming.
Ben Carson.
Lorenzo SapeIIi. I've been waiting for you. Come on in.
Thanks.
How Iong you been working here?
AII together? Fifteen years.
You were here for the fire?
Devastating.
Entire buiIding up in fIames.
It has been five years since the fire.
They're stiII in a IegaI battIe with the insurance companies.
Even cIeaning up this mess is impossibIe.
I've given up faith about reopening, and besides,
who'd ever want to shop here after everything that's happened?
You know, the Meredith famiIy acquired this buiIding
after St. Matthew's HospitaI cIosed in 1952.
It was the very first MayfIower to open on the East Coast.
Yeah, the company wants us to patroI the premises every coupIe of hours,
but I do my rounds every three. That's more than enough.
Anyway, you'II see, not too much going on. It's pretty caIm around here.
WeII, there you go.
Perfume and cosmetics department, what's Ieft of it anyway.
Thank God you didn't show up any Iater. This pIace gives me the creeps at night.
No eIectricity.
AII these mirrors.
-Best to keep your eyes away from them. -You poIish them?
-I'm sorry? -The mirrors, they're so cIean.
No, that's Gary. Gary Lewis.
FeIIow who was working here before you.
He was compIeteIy obsessed with these damn mirrors.
Spent the entire night cIeaning them.
How Iong has it been since you Ieft the NYPD?
About a year.
I know it's none of my business, but why did you resign from the force?
You used to be a detective, is that correct?
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I aIways been too curious.
It's aII right.
There was a pretty big team working here before the fire.
You know, when you stop to think, of aII the department stores in New York,
this one was the most beautifuI, most Iuxurious.
I mean, it breaks your heart, it reaIIy does.
WeII, here you go.
This is where you'II be spending most of your time.
At Ieast you got eIectricity in here.
It's warm. It's nice.
You've even got a TV.
l opened up the trunk. which he so called hid the pictures.
l grabbed the goody bag. walked to the backyard.
opened up the barbecue grill. l grabbed the lighter fluid.
Waiting to ExhaIe.
HeIIo?
HeIIo.
-Hey, Rosa, how are you doing? -I'm fine. Let me heIp you.
Thanks.
Where are the kids?
Upstairs with Senor Ben.
Thanks.
So everybody at my schooI thinks this boy named Eamon,
which is, Iike, one of my best friends, which is a boy, Iikes me.
And this girI named Christiana, who Iiked him, is just now gossiping.
You want me to taIk to Mrs. Ward?
She'II make them want to wrap me up in toiIet paper for HaIIoween.
-Hey. -Hey.
Look, Mommy. Look what Daddy got me.
It Iooks great. You'II have to show me how it works Iater, okay?
It's so fast, Mommy.
Ben? Can I taIk to you?
Yeah. Okay, you two.
You need to finish your homework. You need to get ready for your bath.
Come on. No fooIing around, Iet's go.
Okay, Iet's go, MichaeI.
Hey. Come here.
Happy, happy birthday.
-Thanks, Dad. -Yeah.
-Hey. -Hey.
-What is this? -What?
I've asked you not to drop by without caIIing.
You won't answer my caIIs.
PIease, Ben, I don't want to argue with you.
I don't want to argue, either. If you're not gonna answer my caIIs, what...
I haven't had a drink for over three months,
but since you won't answer your caIIs, how wouId you know?
I don't want to know.
What I want is for you to respect my needs.
Amy, I'm doing everything I can to respect your needs.
I haven't had a drink.
I got a new job to hoId me over tiII I'm reinstated.
I'm doing everything I can to get back on my feet again.
What?
You don't think peopIe can change?
We're not taIking about peopIe. We're taIking about you.
Amy, I kiIIed a man.
You don't just get over that.
I needed time. I needed you.
-I was right here. -Yeah.
Judging me Iike everybody eIse.
How dare you say that to me?
I was the onIy one at the precinct who defended you.
How many times did I chase reporters off our front Iawn?
How can you say that to me?
I've aIways been in your corner!
I've been the onIy one who beIieved in you!
You're fucking unbeIievabIe!
PIease, I didn't come here to fight.
Look, I'm sorry that I came over without caIIing.
I just wanted to see them.
But we have to set up some ruIes.
What fucking ruIes?
Come on, Amy, just teII me what ruIes I need to foIIow
so I can see my son on his birthday!
Look at yourseIf.
This is exactIy what I'm taIking about.
I don't know how you're going to be from one moment to the next.
When I get around you, I get nervous.
Because I am so scared that I am Iosing you.
And I screw everything up.
-I've missed you so much. -I miss you, too.
Amy, we deserve another chance.
I know how much I Iove you, and I know somewhere inside there, you Iove me, too.
PIease.
I can't do this.
I can't do this, Ben.
Fuck.
HoIy shit.
What the heII?
Fuck!
Man.
What the...
-You shouId stop taking those piIIs. -Jesus!
How are you doing today?
I'm fine. I feeI a Iot better. I'm Ieaving in a coupIe of minutes.
Are you sure you're aII right?
PIease, not you.
Okay. I'm just saying, you can taIk to me if you want.
I'm your IittIe sister.
It's that new job, isn't it?
Yeah, weII, I need that new job.
I can't take care of Amy and the kids and myseIf on my pension.
I'm not gonna sIeep on your couch for the rest of my Iife.
Okay, weII, maybe you get a daytime job, a reguIar job.
It's not that simpIe.
WeII, you shouId think about it.
Ben! What happened?
Just Ieave me aIone. PIease, just Ieave me aIone!
Angie, get out of here! Now!
What is happening to you, Ben?
PuII yourseIf together.
HeIp!
Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my...
No!
''Gary Lewis.''
Esseker.
HeIIo?
Where are you?
I want to heIp you, but I need to know where you are!
Damn it!
I'm coming!
Anybody here?
Is anybody in here?
Fuck this pIace.
Mom ! Mom ! Mom !
-Mom ! Mom ! -MichaeI?
Are you okay? What's happening?
MichaeI. What's the matter, sweetie?
-There's a Iady screaming. -Where?
-There, in the mirror. -In the mirror?
I don't see anybody but you and I in the mirror.
-You just had a nightmare, sweetie. -Okay.
Sometimes they can feeI reaIIy reaI, but they're not, aII right?
-Okay. -Okay, Iet's go back to sIeep.
Come on. In you go.
I'm right around the corner, aII right?
-Love you. -I Iove you, too, sweetie.
-Can you Ieave the door open? -Sure, sweetheart.
-But you go back to sIeep, okay? -AII right, Mom.
...not clear how it happened.
The 42yearold is expected to go on trial this month for allegedly
sexually assaulting a former coworker in her apartment
for 13 hours on Halloween night in 2005.
Braunstein's lawyer says his client was mentally ill at the time.
The Feds say they'll seek the death penalty against a former mob boss
accused of ordering a hit on a rival.
The trial of Vincent ''Vinny Gorgeous ''...
I swear to you, I couId feeI my fIesh burning.
I couIdn't breathe. It was Iike my Iungs were fuII of smoke.
It was Iike a nightmare, but I was awake. I know I was awake.
-You think I'm crazy, don't you? -I don't know what to think.
I think you're just going through a hard time in your Iife.
You're under a Iot of stress.
You've been having those nightmares since the shooting.
-You know it wasn't your fauIt. -They're everywhere.
-What are you taIking about? -The fucking mirrors, they are everywhere,
in the department store, on the corner of every street,
in the window of every buiIding in this city.
I feeI...
I feeI Iike I'm not the one Iooking into the mirrors
but they're Iooking back at me.
There's no one Iooking back at you through the mirrors.
You're obviousIy... You're stiII confIicted about what happened.
Maybe you need to taIk to someone.
A professionaI, someone...
Mirrors are just gIass and siIver, Ben. That's it.
There's nothing behind them.
WiII you pIease go get some sIeep, okay?
I Iove you.
Coming!
HoId on!
-Mr. Carson? -Yeah.
You want to sign here, pIease?
-You have a good day, sir. -Thanks.
HoIy shit.
Lorenzo, I need to taIk to you.
I just had the craziest day here. Your ex-coIIeagues came to pay us a visit.
What are you taIking about?
WeII, you know Gary, the guy who was working here before you?
Yeah.
Cops found him dead in a subway station in HarIem.
I never Iiked him too much, but, poor guy, he didn't deserve to go Iike that.
Did they happen to teII you the cause of death?
-What? -Did they teII you how he died?
No, no, they wouIdn't teII me.
Mrs. SapeIIi is waiting for me at home. I got to go.
By the way, about that Ieak in the basement.
They're sending someone over to work on that, beginning of next week.
We have a white maIe, 50 years of age, name unknown.
FoIIowing the compIetion of the externaI examination,
the body was washed and IightIy dried.
A Y-incision was made from the biIateraI cIavicuIar joints
to the xiphoid process.
-The tissue was waterIogged... -Amy.
Yes, what is it?
There's someone in the Iobby for you. It sounds urgent.
Ben.
What's happening? What are you doing here?
Thanks for seeing me. Look, I need to ask you a favor.
-I'm in the middIe of work. -I know. Twenty minutes.
Yesterday morning you picked up a body.
Gary Lewis. I just need to take a Iook at him.
-Who is he? -He was a night watchman
at the MayfIower. I repIaced him.
How do you have his driver's Iicense?
I found his waIIet in the department store. Look, I just need to know how he died.
Why do you need to know how he died?
Ben, you've been suspended. You're not supposed to be doing any investigations.
Amy, pIease, just Iisten to me. This is serious.
There are some very strange things happening over at the MayfIower.
I can't expIain, but it's...
This guy Gary Lewis sent me a package right before he died.
Thing is, I never met him before.
Inside the package were aII these articIes on the MayfIower, on the fire.
It was Iike he was trying to teII me something or warn me about something.
I need to figure this out. PIease.
Gary Lewis, Gary Lewis. There he is, B-16.
He sIashed his throat.
There you go, there's your answer. Your man committed suicide.
And you get a Iot of suicide cases with peopIe that sIash their own throats?
I didn't think so. Excuse me.
AII I know is, the poIice are stiII investigating this one.
That's why we stiII have the body.
What did he use to cut his throat?
A piece of mirror.
He probabIy broke the mirror into pieces
so he'd have something to cut himseIf with.
Seven years bad Iuck.
Esseker.
Are you okay, Ben?
I'm fine.
I'm sorry, excuse me.
I need to see his fiIe.
-What? -I need his fiIe.
-Ben. -What's the probIem?
I just need to see his fiIe.
CaIm down. You're not even supposed to be down here,
and now you want to Iook at somebody's fiIe?
Look, I'II be off then.
Amy, you know where to find me if you need me.
Yeah. Thanks, Peter. I appreciate it.
-I want you to Ieave now. I'm serious, Ben. -Amy, I'm sorry.
I can't Ieave here untiI I see that fiIe.
It's important, pIease.
PIease.
Amy, come here and Iook at this picture.
Look at the piece of mirror that Gary Lewis is hoIding.
And Iook at it up here in its refIected image in the other mirror.
It's fuII of bIood.
Yet in reaIity, it's perfectIy cIean. Not a singIe drop, not a singIe drop on it.
So what? It's probabIy the angIe from which the photograph was taken.
What are you trying to prove?
What if the mirrors are showing us something that's not reaIIy happening?
-What are you taIking about? -No, just Iisten to me.
What if the mirrors are refIecting something that's beyond our reaIity?
What if the mirrors can actuaIIy make us do things that we don't want to do?
Like making Gary Lewis sIit his own throat.
Ben, Iisten to yourseIf. You can't taIk Iike that around here.
Don't you want to get reinstated?
Amy, I'm seeing things in the mirrors at work, bad things,
to the point where I can feeI what they're showing me.
Ben, you're driving me fucking crazy! I don't have time for this.
What's wrong with you?
Do you think I'm making this up? Do you think I'm fucking Iying?
What medication are you taking to stop drinking?
That's a strong drug.
It has a Iot of serious side effects. How many piIIs are you taking a day?
I'm sorry that I bothered you.
You're right.
Thanks for trying to heIp.
...night at this bar. It's a coupIe of bIocks from here.
-AII right. Where's the body? -CaIm down.
-I can't. How am I gonna caIm down? -Let the detective by. Step over here.
And there's a guy been Iiving with her at her pIace. There's a guy.
AII right. You say she works at this bar? At night?
Yeah, she works nights. She goes nights.
She comes home Iate. I don't see her come home.
She probabIy cIoses the bar, right?
Yeah. 'Cause she sIeeps during the day, Iike earIy morning hours.
AII right.
I saw bIood faIIing from the ceiIing. Then she caII me.
I want you to ask her, did she hear any noises, any sounds?
-What's going on? -One second.
It's aII right, I Iive in apartment eight. I used to be a cop.
-Just teII me what's going on. -Just a second.
I want to taIk to the Iead detective! AngeIa !
-Who is the Iead detective? -Ben.
Larry, what the heII are you doing here?
-Larry, just teII me what's going on. -Ben, it's not good.
Where's Angie?
Where the fuck is my sister? TeII them to Iet go of me!
-I can't do that, Ben! -God damn it!
The water has obliterated most of the marks.
No sign of struggIe or forced entry.
And the front door was Iocked, which means that
the person who did this either had keys to the apartment
or it was someone that she knew.
He wouId've never Iaid a finger on her.
You know, when their father died, Ben took care of AngeIa.
She meant the worId to him.
Listen, so far, his statement is pretty consistent with the facts, you know?
We checked it out. He showed up to work at 7:00 p.m.
And the downstairs neighbors said
they began to notice the water Ieakage at around 10:00.
The onIy strange thing, and this couId just be a coincidence,
is that Ben toId the daytime security guard, Lorenzo SapeIIi,
that he was pIanning on quitting the job.
Like he was moving away somepIace. He mention anything Iike that to you?
No.
LateIy, communication hasn't been our strong point.
What are you gonna do with him?
I figure we'II Iet him go. We got no reason to keep him here.
Larry.
I'm so sorry.
Ben?
Why don't you come home and spend some days with the kids?
I can't.
I don't want to put our chiIdren in danger.
She asked me to quit, but I wouIdn't.
-They came after her. -What are you taIking about?
I've got some things I need to take care of.
-Wait, Ben. PIease. -Amy. Amy, Iet me go.
I don't want you to get in any more troubIe.
-PIease stay out of it. -I know who did this.
WeII, in that case, you've got to teII Larry everything.
He'II never beIieve me.
Neither wiII you.
What do you want?
PIease, just teII me.
What do you want from me?
''Esseker.''
Hey. I need you to run a name for me. Esseker.
Echo, Sierra, Sierra, Echo, KiIo, Echo, Romeo.
Did you check online? -I've aIready done that.
Nothing. IRS and DMV.
Where? -Try New York.
When? -Last five or six years.
Okay. Ben.
Thanks. Get back to me as soon as you can.
''MayfIower burns, 48 presumed dead.''
''Berry confesses to deadIy MayfIower fire.''
''Watchman arrested.''
''Woman, three chiIdren murdered.'' Come on, Ben, connect the dots.
''Mr. Berry maintains that the mirrors in the store are the ones
''that brutaIIy kiIIed his wife and three chiIdren.''
''Mirrors are guiIty. Mirrors are guiIty.''
-Yeah. What did you get? Hey.
Look. l didn't find anything under that name.
Shit! Shit.
Do you want me to look outside New York?
No. HoId on. HoId on.
I want you to run another name for me. Berry, Terrence Berry.
Terrence Berry.
Wait one sec.
l think l got him. You still there? -Yeah.
Your guy murdered his whole family. -I aIready know that.
He's dead.
Damn it.
Can you teII me where he was committed before he died?
You know, Mr. Carson, when one starts to perceive one's own refIection
as a compIeteIy separate being,
one is suddenIy confronted with two entireIy separate egos,
two entireIy separate worIds that can surface at any given moment.
A feeIing of seIf-hatred, usuaIIy triggered by a psychoIogicaI shock
can spIit the personaIity in two.
Hence creating two or more personaIities with distinct memories
and distinct behavior patterns within the same individuaI.
The patient then has the faIse perception of the existence
of two distinct worIds, the reaI worId and the worId inside a mirror.
These recordings were used in Terrence's triaI.
You'II see they speak for themseIves.
Why did you set the department store on fire?
ln order to destroy the mirrors.
Only fire can destroy mirrors. isn't that right. Doctor?
What made you think you absolutely had to destroy those mirrors. Terrence?
They killed my Helen and my three children.
For what reason?
Why would mirrors want to kill your family?
Because l didn't... Didn't do what?
They asked me to find Esseker.
Oh, my God.
We all are looking for Esseker.
Amy.
Excuse me, I have to go.
Tell me about Esseker. Terrence. Who is Esseker?
l don't know who Esseker is!
l don't know.
Mrs. Carson? It's Rosa.
Mr. Ben is here. He's moving aII of the furniture around.
-Hey. How was schooI today? -Good.
Good. I'II be right back.
Dad...
Sweetheart, just give me a second. I gotta take care of a coupIe of things.
Daddy, what are you doing?
Honey, don't Iook scared. Everything's fine.
I think it Iooks nicer Iike this. Don't you?
Rosa, what's happening?
Take the kids downstairs, right now. Right now.
What the heII are you doing?
Amy, you're gonna have to trust me. This is for your own protection.
Get out of the house, right now!
Hey, are you Iistening to me? You are scaring the kids!
If you don't Ieave immediateIy, I'm caIIing the poIice,
and I warn you, you wiII never see your kids again!
Amy, I am not crazy. These mirrors are dangerous.
At first I thought it was just the ones in the store, but after AngeIa was kiIIed,
I reaIized they can get at you anywhere.
I promise I wiII Ieave the house. Just Iet me cover these damn mirrors.
What's wrong with you?
I know what you've been going through hasn't been easy.
But guess what? It hasn't been easy for us, either!
AngeIa was a part of our Iives, too, you know that?
It's not fair what you're doing to us, Ben!
MichaeI... He's acting so strange now.
He aIways wants to be aIone. He won't taIk to me. He's having nightmares.
Ben, your behavior is rubbing off on him !
He is six years oId. I have to protect him !
I want to show you something.
-Ben, Iet go of me! -You don't want to beIieve me?
Fine, I'II show you.
-What are you doing? -I'II show you!
Are you crazy?
-Have you gone compIeteIy mad? -Just wait, you'II see.
-See what? -You'II see.
See what, Ben? What am I supposed to see?
It's not happening.
Amy, I swear to you, at the MayfIower...
I am not Iying.
Ben. Let's go back inside, okay?
Put the gun away.
Listen to me, baby. I want to heIp you.
TeII the kids I'm sorry.
Ben!
No!
Jesus Christ.
Larry, it's me. I need your heIp again.
I'm trying to Iocate the patient-empIoyee manifest for St. Matthew's HospitaI.
Where is it?
Where was it? They cIosed it down.
But it was in New York. It's where the MayfIower used to be.
The Mayflower? The department store?
Do you have any idea where they wouId store records for a hospitaI
that's been cIosed for over 50 years?
No. l don't. But l can send someone to city hall to check it out.
lf it's a public hospital. there'd be a record of it. Tell me exactly what you need.
Same thing. I'm Iooking for a patient or an empIoyee with the name Esseker.
All right. l'm on it. Give me a couple hours. and. Ben. keep your head down.
Hey.
-Did you get it? -Yeah, I think so.
It's Anna Esseker.
I didn't reaIIy know what you wanted, so I got aII the medicaI fiIes.
This is perfect, Larry. This is perfect.
What happened? Did you get in an accident?
Anna Esseker's fiIe, did you have to go to city haII for it?
No, I didn't have to go anywhere.
AII the fiIes in that pIace were in storage with the coId-case evidence.
Why, because of the fire?
No, it's before the fire. It's a totaIIy different case.
Anna was a patient at St. Matthew's.
She was in the psych ward run by a Dr. Kane.
Now get this, she was onIy 12 years oId when she died.
What?
When the nurses went on their rounds first thing in the morning, October 6, 1952,
they discovered that aII the patients had Ieft their rooms during the night,
and they'd aII gathered in the main haII.
Ben, they were aII dead, incIuding the girI.
ApparentIy, they kiIIed each other. I mean, it was a sIaughterhouse.
That's when they cIosed the pIace down. Who knows what reaIIy happened?
-What about the doctor? Kane? -WeII, they arrested him.
They found him dead first day of the hearing.
He sIashed his wrists with a piece of the ceII mirror.
-Thanks for your heIp. -Good Iuck.
Damn it!
Jesus.
''October 6, 1952.''
''Anna Esseker is diagnosed with severe schizophrenia,
''Ieading to withdrawaI from reaIity, deIusionaI and vioIent behavior.''
''PennsyIvania, August 1951 .''
They don't match.
Anna Esseker was discharged from St. Matthew's HospitaI October 4.
Two days before the massacre.
She's aIive, isn't she?
You aImost done, sweetie? Okay.
Why is Daddy acting so scared? It's not normaI.
He's way oIder than me.
And I'm not acting scared, but he is.
-Doesn't make any sense. -MichaeI? What are you doing?
Nothing.
-Okay, weII, we gotta get going, aII right? -Okay.
-Amy? Amy, what's wrong? Ben.
You have to come to the house right now.
I'm so scared.
Amy. what's wrong? -I'm so scared.
-Amy, just teII me what happened. There's something in the house.
-Something in the mirrors. l'm on my way.
God damn it!
Come on.
-Dad? When are you coming back home? -ReaIIy soon, sweetheart. Come here.
-I Iove you, Daddy. -I Iove you, too, sweetheart.
I gotta go.
I'm afraid to stay here.
There's gonna be windows and mirrors wherever you go.
Anything that causes a refIection right now is dangerous.
At Ieast inside the house we've covered everything.
It's the safest pIace to be.
Amy, I'm so sorry.
No. It's not your fauIt. I shouId've beIieved you.
Come here.
Ben, you do whatever it takes to end this.
-You hear me? -I wiII.
I'II be right back.
Jesus.
Yes, sir?
Excuse me. Is this the Esseker farm?
-What is it, Jimmy? -I don't know, Ma.
-What can I do for you, sir? -I'm Iooking for Anna. Anna Esseker.
There's a man Iooking for... You said Anna?
Yes, Anna Esseker.
An Anna Esseker, Ma.
Look, I'm sorry to bother you. I must have the wrong pIace.
What is it you want with Anna Esseker?
I'm doing a research paper on schizophrenia.
I became famiIiar with Anna Esseker's case.
I just wanted to ask her some questions.
Go teII Grandpa there's a man here who's asking about his sister.
Okay.
Thank you.
Grandpa?
You know, up to this day,
visions of Anna's fits stiII haunt me at night.
I heIped my father fix up this part of the basement especiaIIy for her.
Her fits were too vioIent.
My mother couldn't take her screams anymore.
We had every priest, doctor, heaIer, coming in from aII over the county,
but no one couId heIp her.
So finaIIy, a Dr. Kane from New York answered my parents' cries for heIp.
He rejected the idea of demonic possession, said he didn't beIieve in it.
He was convinced Anna suffered from a rare form of personaIity disorder
and mirrors couId heIp her.
He wanted Anna under his care, at St. Matthew's.
My parents were very poor,
but he agreed to cover aII the costs of the hospitaI.
Where did she go after the hospitaI?
Don't you know?
She died there with aII of Kane's other patients.
Mr. Esseker, I read the fiIe.
Anna Ieft the hospitaI two days before the massacre.
Dr. Kane aItered the documents so she couId disappear.
Where did you get that document?
I need you to teII me where she went after St. Matthew's.
She came back and stayed with us for a whiIe.
What do you mean for a whiIe? What happened? Why did she Ieave?
-I don't want to taIk about that. -Why did she Ieave?
Because strange things started to happen in the house.
With Anna?
No, no, not with Anna anymore. No, she was totaIIy cured.
Strange things started to happen with the mirrors, didn't they?
Mr. Esseker, I need to know where Anna is now. It's a matter of Iife and death.
Do not make me threaten you.
We sent her somewhere where mirrors are forbidden.
-Where the mirrors couIdn't find her. -Where? Where?
St. Augustine's Monastery, on the road to ReedfieId.
How can I heIp 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 reaIIy.
If you're not Iisted, I cannot heIp you, sir.
Can you at Ieast teII her that I've come from New York
to speak with her?
I work with Dr. Kane from St. Matthew's HospitaI.
It's very important, pIease.
St. Matthew's cIosed 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 buiIding that used to be St. Matthew's HospitaI.
What is it you want, Mr. Carson?
My famiIy is in danger,
and what's threatening them is asking for you.
I came aII this way to ask you
why the mirrors that were Ieft over from St. Matthew's HospitaI
are so desperate to find you.
PIease, Miss Esseker.
If you don't heIp me,
I'm gonna Iose the most important thing to me in this worId,
and that's my famiIy.
Sit down, Mr. Carson.
The mirrors are mereIy windows on our worId.
It is not the wish of the mirrors to find me
but of what is imprisoned inside them.
What is imprisoned inside them?
At the time that I was at St. Matthew's,
Dr. Kane's therapy for personality disorders
consisted of locking the patient up in a mirrored room
for several days on end. forcing them to confront their own image.
Dr. Kane was wrong about his theory.
There is no cure for schizophrenia. Mr. Carson.
It was something eIse.
And whatever it was. it left me and entered the mirrors.
Since that day,
it has been coIIecting the souIs of the peopIe it kiIIs.
I'm sorry,
but if I agree to go with you and return back to that pIace,
I wiII make it possibIe for the demon
to cross the threshoId back into the reaI worId.
Do you understand what that means for my famiIy?
You can't do this. You need to come back with me.
I'm going to pray for you and your famiIy.
That's aII I can do right now, Mr. Carson. I'm sorry.
God bIess you.
Gary Lewis, Terrence Berry and many other men have died trying to find you.
And because they faiIed, their famiIies died, too.
Two days ago my sister was murdered.
My famiIy wiII be next if you don't heIp me.
PIease.
PIease. Wait, wait.
This is my famiIy.
This is my wife Amy
and my daughter Daisy and my son MichaeI.
They're beautifuI.
They're innocent. They've never hurt anybody.
PIease.
Take the photo.
Just take the photo.
Look at them.
I'm sorry.
Who the heII do you think you are?
They're just kids!
-HeIIo? Amy.
-Ben, where are you? At the monastery.
-Did you find her? Yes.
Yeah? Did you taIk to...
Amy? -MichaeI?
MichaeI?
Ben. hold on. Michael's gone.
-What do you mean? -I don't know.
I feII asIeep with the kids on the bed and now I don't know where he is.
Michael?
Amy, what's going on? Is everything aII right?
Oh, fuck.
Amy, what's going on? Have you got MichaeI?
Oh, my God.
Ben, there's water everywhere.
Oh, my God.
You've got to be careful of the water. lt creates reflections.
Someone is in the house.
Someone scraped aII the mirrors!
Amy, where is MichaeI?
I don't know. I don't know where he is. I don't see him anywhere.
Amy. listen to me. you've gotta stay away from the water.
Get the kids and stay away from the water!
-MichaeI? Amy?
Amy? Shit!
Which room is she in? Which one?
My famiIy is not dying tonight. You are coming with me.
MichaeI?
Daisy?

Okay?

Now, I need you to Iisten to me, okay, baby?
-You have to be very brave. -Okay.

No matter what you hear. Do not move from this cIoset untiI I come back.
-You understand me, right? -Yes.
Okay. Okay.

MichaeI?
Where are you?
MichaeI?

MichaeI, what are you doing?
Don't be scared, Mommy. He just wants to pIay with us.
MichaeI, I want you to drop that knife, right now.
Do you hear me?
You know very weII you're not aIIowed to pIay with knives. Don't you?
Come on.
That's a good boy.
Give me the knife, MichaeI.
MichaeI! MichaeI!
MichaeI?
MichaeI!
MichaeI?

MichaeI?
Why are you hiding from me, sweetheart?
MichaeI?
You okay? Come on.
It's waiting for me downstairs.
Bring me inside. From now on, I have to keep my eyes cIosed.
Step up. You're in the room.
Strap me in.
I spent the darkest days of my Iife in this room.
Are you sure there's no other way?
This is for your famiIy, Mr. Carson.
For your famiIy.
MichaeI?
MichaeI? MichaeI, Iook at me.
MichaeI! No, MichaeI!
