[Music]
How much further is it
just enjoy it
uh so beautiful here
[Music]
All right I have a serious question dad
you live in ghosts Jessie your father
believes in what he can see and feel
vision that narrow-minded no it's a
scientific training
what about you mom I believe in your
father.
[Music]
Ready Set where's Marvin we haven't
worked it out yet it's far from my
office as possible
dad I don't make that much noise where's
the case behind the house in the back.
Jesse I don't want you going near those
caves by yourself mom I'm not gonna get
lost Jesse didn't you want to see the
inside of the house first you can have a
swimming pool there's plenty of room dad
that'd be so cool and a basketball court
I think he likes it oh goodness we're
here Meghan.
Megan this is our new home come on dad
well now you're gonna tell me it misses
city right no never
this is what we will do drugs here let's
go honey moving talking okay
[Music]
Okay say that's it okay for now
[Music]
This room is so big I wonder what the.
Templeton stated with it oh I wish I
would have seen it furnished no I say
the devil done has never really lived
here they just kind of kept the place
and the old man well he wanted to be an
architect so he considered himself an
expert on everything sounds like someone
I know
don't pretend I didn't hear that and
they say he worked with Thomas Edison
the old man who says Jane the
real-estate office you don't think she's
lying
do you to make a sale no of course not
you're such a cynic I don't know I
married you didn't I
so we're almost unpacked video Yahtzee
you like it here school is closed and
I'll be with you all the time now
[Music]
What do you think Oh doesn't look like
an old phonograph what's that
I don't record player what's that don't
mine I think it's worse than anything
could be that's what I figured ready to
plug in uh hold it pull it
I'm gonna burn the house down yet yeah
wiring seems to be okay okay do it Wow
doesn't work
yeah but what does it do
[Music]
Can you continue tomorrow if you go to
bed right no dad five more minutes
well I don't negotiate with terrorists
[Music]
What is it no no go be the wind you know
what it is
notice the absence of sound it's the
country that I get used to it
like a grandma's house in Bavaria
so I've gone over Megan's file and I'm
really glad you chose to bring it to us
I have to tell you we're very happy to
have her in your care doctor Hans one of
the reasons we moved here was to take
advantage of your program I can
appreciate that we've been quite
successful with autistic patients but
you do know of course that there is no
ultimate cure just development well
we're not expecting any miracles at this
point any progress would mean so much to
us you see she's never spoken since she
was born
just basic sounds but you really likes
using her hands painting finger painting
drawing and she really loves music it's
interesting because one of our doctors
has had amazing results with music you
might want to consider getting her a
music box if you haven't already done
that have you know a simple repetitive
tune hmm try it oh and I should also
tell you that in some cases we do
recommend long-term therapy like
boarding her yeah mm-hmm we have
dormitory facilities we couldn't do that
I understand I just want you to know
that it's not them
very good Megan maybe you try save like
a circle
listen what's that oh look what daddy
got a music box put it pretty tune
[Music]
Here and Megan
music for you.
[Music]
Yes yes did you go easy on that I'd like
to finish this manual before you finish
off the tray sorry dad it was an
accident you're not gonna finish the
bike first your dad is a man of many
talents I can do both you said nobody
reads manuals anyway they still have to
be written can as a bike when you're
done with it the company's only paying
me to write a manual will see you about
the bike but who else would they give it
to I said you'll see.
Jesse can't you find something to do and
it's less intrusive Thanks
why don't you go outside nothing to do
around here
you know kids I'm sorry to hear that
Jesse
the record player still on yeah it is
but it's not a record player what is it
mm-hmm you said you'd find out that's an
idea that little nameplate there it's
all tarnished and dirty why don't you
take that into the kitchen find the
brass polish clean it up see what it
says and maybe there's a clue okay good
late I'm going out
[Music]
Sheila what is it come here look at this
what is that
you're like snow angels

down the hill hi hi Victor Robert singer
hi and this is my wife Sheila Sheila my
son Jesse hey Jesse how you doing my
daughter Megan and Megan yeah well it's
good to meet you you know it's real nice
to have children around here again it's
been too quiet are you out for a walk
the fact is I'm so used to her house
here being empty that I took the cutting
across your land I hope you don't mind
no not at all you know where the caves
are I sure do son but you want to be
real careful down there unless you know
your way around you could get real lost
see that's what we've been telling him
yeah what have we here
snow angels they just appeared overnight
probably just pranksters maybe mrs.
Templeton is on the prowl again huh yeah
old man Templeton you know he built this
place he was kinda into your spiritual
sort of thing
in fact he spent the last 20 years of
his life trying to commune with his late
- wife Wow like a ghost no not really son - just the fancy of a lonely old man sure.
Did work at it though
in fact I do believe that's why his son.
Jack never lived here
well it's too bad his fine house yes it
is it's a beautiful house hey now don't
let me go putting thoughts into your
head it's just a lot of nonsense II hear
ya now you're really gonna enjoy it here
so best let grams Schofield know about
this any vandals around here you went
dipping the bud Graham Schofield
insurance law enforcement oh yeah he's
our sheriff well I guess I better get
going right
hey Jesse there's children why duan goes
make two angels
[Music]
Apparently Edison himself was in the
spiritualism a lot of otherwise educated
men were at the time like Houdini and
Arthur Conan Doyle anyway I checked up
on the Internet and he was working on a
machine something he called a frequency
harmonizer and he had hoped that this
would open up a doorway to the afterlife
are you serious
- well I'm not saying it worked I'm just - saying he built it and mr. Templeton was.
Supposed to have worked with Edison
exactly I mean this could be Edison's
original machine and even if it's not
it's older by darling how would he have
gotten it well maybe just took it but
George said that the old man was working
very hard to reach his wife he must have
had a method it might have been this
machine yeah George says Helen says the
internet says it's all hearsay.
I got here saw a ghost sketch your mom
you're a comedian
nice car I say what about a 67-66
nicer I'm Graham Schofield Oh George.
Gifford said you had a problem well no
not really
well have to tell you the truth that
didn't sound too serious but uh well I
thought I'd take the opportunity to drop
by say hello thanks good to see this
place occupied house standing empty can
attract squatters and the like well I
haven't seen any sign of that and I kept
an eye on the place the Templeton family
always had a lot of respect in this town
oh good no bad company officer this is
my wife Sheila nice to meet you mrs.
Robinson thank you and my daughter Megan
thank you you're a pretty girl
excuse us I think she's hungry
she's autistic
of course well.
[Music]
Jesse
[Music]
What are you doing sleep.
[Music]
What was he did you guys look at him no
I don't know who he was he he was just
banging on the door with my Shawn left.
God is in it was he trying to get in
why didn't he smash a window she gone
was he a ghost definitely not
Megan do you see what I see
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Megan.
[Music]
Sweetheart you're saying that yeah she
can't talk I was never sick it was
did she really do this she can sing and
she can draw real figures huh there's
two of them like the Angels
[Music]
Iaughs on it's been offer out of this
you think we might have had a visit from
all mrs. Templeton cross not I don't
know what to think you're not painting I
don't know what the thing about that I
know it's not someone died at your hands
how else so you do believe that
something else is going on here don't
you yeah so what should we do just leave
just take her away from here we don't
know that that machine does anything
it's like well he was hot as bait
we're not gonna let anything happen to
her Sheila she hasn't spoken for 12
years
she hasn't uttered an intelligible sound
there's something in there that's
reaching her in a way that we never
could dr. Hawlings said don't expect a
miracle but we've had a miracle
we can't let it go
[Music]
Megan honey we know that something
happened last night
and daddy and I want you to know that we
are always with you there's nothing to
be afraid of
we just wanna find out who made you see
[Music]
Because we've never heard you sing
before you have such a pretty voice.
[Music]
Maybe you should think about getting
yourself a lot for this door I will I
still don't understand what he was
trying to do no it's not the same person
who made those burns in the grass is he
trying to scare us if he is it's
certainly doing a good job well maybe
your idea about squatters no no I was
thinking the same thing maybe there was
someone living here they just don't like
being evicted but the doors and the
- windows were all locked everything was - spotless it's a big house someone might.
Have come in through the basement door.
Eric and I know most of the transients
in town oh I see what they've been up to
what about the ghosts the ghosts
he's got some crazy idea that the house
may be haunted and I guess he heard the
stories right yeah this is temple - wow
that's way before my time but apparently
the old man swore he brought her back
from beyond that's some kind of machine
or something I don't know I gets wilder
every time you hear it dad Jesse come
inside Oh mom inside
sorry I guess I shouldn't have said
anything
oh we got him all excited man one
morning usually is okay well I'll be in
touch yeah thanks dad he was talking
about the machine that's what it's for
brand goes back Jesse but why didn't you
tell him that we don't really know what
it's for I don't want you running around
telling people we saw ghosts and I think
they're crazy we did see something wrong
it was with Megan and we're not crazy
good night sweetie sure you want the
first shifts yes
you staying with Megan mom that's right
can I stay
not a chance let's just leave the ladies
[Music]
Jessie go back to your honor Jessie did
you hear me
get back in your bed Jessie.
Jilla sure dad what's wrong
what is it something in a bed
[Music]
It's all hard we're here it's okay I'm
gonna hear now
[Music]
There's more voices
[Music]
How is she asleep I'll pour you one yeah
what the hell did we think we were doing
let's not start second-guessing now we
both knew we don't know anything Victor
we just moved how many voices did you
hear besides Meghan what how many voices
there were two right I suppose the two
children singing singing along with her
what are you trying to your children.
Jessie's snow angels do you think what
we experiencing our dead children
doing what exactly trying to reach us
trying to communicate with us.
Megan huh communicate is that what you
call it what else could it be I have no
idea
whatever it is it is putting my daughter
at risk and I won't allow that to happen
I want that machine out of your Victor
promise
[Music]
What's up I'm building a fort cool god
protect ourselves dad can I help you
no I want to do it myself
shall we go into the canyon watch the
animals hmm there are lots of birds and
animals maybe we'll see some okay
honey what is it don't want to go down
something wrong there that scares you
what's wrong.
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Megan Megan I can't believe it
you throw that machine on talking about
I never touched it
it's on
what does this mean.
Japan's standing over the children
I think it's a warning what if it's our
charter
danger
here the back issues you wanted mr.
Robinson Thanks anything else you need
just let me know okay hey Victor what's
this bony off on your local history no
I'm I'm just oh I had a rogue with a few
of the street people nobody knows about
anyone camping out in your house or if
they do well they're not telling me
about it I'll keep digging enough Katie
sheriff come on Graham please Greg I
probably should have asked you in the
first place I'm actually looking for
some information that's something that
may have happened a few years ago the
death of two children
um murder possibly uh why would you be
looking up something like that
I'm kind of embarrassed to talk about it
but there's been some strange incidents
going on at the house and it is
affecting the kids it's almost as if it
sounds like you're a ghost again yeah
the only person who ever died in that
house was mrs. Templeton I know I'm not
saying this happened in the house or
that it happened at all but there are
some very curious things going on well I
guess that was the biggest case this
town has ever had
biggest thing since I got here anyway.
Chloe Marco and Joshua Norris diamond I
jumped them on their way back from
school I never found the body
how do they know that oh there was
plenty of circumstantial evidence and
there was his confession she's a little
bit shaky
I'll admit why Jack Minaya was a drifter
it's been his whole life in and out of
institutions he picked up the habit of
confessing to things that he didn't do
why was he taken seriously awkward like
I say this time there was evidence
against him did you think he was guilty
I I was just a deputy yet really wasn't
my case I will say this it could have
been handled better it was an election
year and I figured maybe there was kind
of a rush to judgment you know fact is
though Chapman is went to prison eight
years ago and since then not a thing
maybe that's just a coincidence are
their families still in town the victims
are you taking this pretty seriously for
a guy who's just curious I have two kids
my husband attacked when you take it
serious Chloe used to love to help me in
this garden when she was small we'd
spend hours here talking about the
future what she was going to do when she
grew up she was exceptionally bright she
could have done anything I'm sorry
you never get over it you know you carry
on you have to butter you never get over
it I must have been very painful for the
family the trial it was especially
because I'm sure they got the wrong man
what makes you say that.
Minaya was pathetic I mean he would have
confessed to anything they put in front
end he knew nothing about Joshua and
Chloe he didn't even know what Joshua
was wearing that day and he had no idea
where the bodies were he forgot the
whole thing was a farce I'm sorry you
talk about painful the most painful fact
of all is knowing that the real killers
out there he murder Chloe
got away with it
[Music]
Mr. Marco thinks that denies his
railroad Victor hole jury thought he was
guilty but they can never find the body
meaning it made his picture there were
two figures inside of a circle that
could be a grave maybe that's what they
were trying to tell us that's where they
were but the man figure wasn't a drawing
maybe it's a prison
[Music]
Mr. nice I'm Victor Robinson I think
your lawyer told you about me I wanted
to ask you some questions about those
two children.
Joshua Norris and call me Margo writer
yes that's right in the book no I don't
think some of the people after my store
you ain't the only one but I can imagine
[Applause]
Did you know those children either of
them you don't have to know people to
kill him and how did you pick them up
off the street you just pulled them into
your truck no one saw you just takes a
second I would imagine that might be
difficult to children that age you know
what you doing where'd you bury them
by my place but you lived in a truck
yeah well wherever it was I don't
remember
that's him God I mean that anyone
wouldn't remember where they buried to
buy I got a trail of bodies behind me
but I can't remember where I put every
one of them you were in that town a
couple of weeks before you did it did
you have a job sure I do landscaping we
doing
parks department we're a big place the
psycho place bellwood bill would you dad
did you work anywhere else like the.
South Hills or the canyon yeah I did
work there fellow named differed George.
Gifford stingy bastard wouldn't never
let me inside even father died on a
thirst make me the water Holies he was
scared of me most guys are even here
I murdered 30 people they're making a
movie now you're writing the book they
all know about me

Jesse we're late.
Jesse mom I've gotta finish the fort
later we have to pick up Meghan from
school mom let's go hiya folks

through would you look at that

sister what I have to go because I can't
believe you're here Jesse that's why now

after the boy I'd be glad to mom I
couldn't ask you to it's no problem

forts mom please

I'll look after glad to do it

oh no Jess what do you want to play
[Music]
Hi hi ribbon is there's no way you can
kill those two children how can you
possibly know that
where's Jessie isn't here left him with.
George George what's wrong what Minaya
said that he needed George and they need
work with him it may not mean anything
but they're just over at his house let
me call him Jesse Jesse
[Music]
No answer maybe they just went exploring
maybe
it's alright mommies with you just go
for a little walk.
Victor slow down why did you leave him
with that man he's our neighbor member
what exactly did they do music say Nyhus
is from another planet but the fact that
there's a killer loose and that he he
knows George hi Jesse yeah yeah we heard
you calling I'm wrong
no no just wondering where you were
we went all the way down to the bottom
ah it was really neat mr. Gifford was
gonna take me down to the cave but but
we ran out of time
maybe on the weekend HS mmm-hmm with
your parent's permission of course I
think we have something planned for the
weekend whatever real pretty down there
but it can be tricky thanks George
lots of twists and turns I bet don't go
too far without us
yeah can't be too careful
[Music]
All right you came with Megan know what
when I woke up at my desk here the other
night
train was still on well Jessie was
probably playing with it oh he was
asleep and he wouldn't leave it on
I read the article about the missing boy
his mother mrs. Norris said that her son
Joshua loves trains it is those two kids
Sheila I think they're trying to tell us
that ours are in danger I can't deal
with us now you are totally obsessed I
have to go get Jessie no talk when I get
back.
[Music]
You can make all kinds of shapes with
your hand
hey so what are you talk - we gotta know
we can't just wait around
[Music]
It wasn't it could've been a Garrett boy
sucks up from your toolshed
what do you take I don't know moving too
fast what happened
bumpy Garrett's boy Ellison from down
the road he took the shovel shovel I
don't know what do you want with that
old man's got all the tools he needs an
- enzyme and he's a bit slow you know what - I mean you say lives just down the road.
Yeah with his father
not exactly the friendliest folk in the
neighborhood pretty much keeping
themselves especially Elson strange boy
doesn't speak is he dangerous nice boy
he could be yeah he had some problems
- when he was younger you really ought to - get a lock for that
[Music]
Excuse me
my name is Victor Robison I just moved
in up the street at the old Templeton
house yeah I know you must be mr. Yeah
mr. Garrett a pleasure
you don't live here alone do you know my
son Elson lives here with me I wouldn't
be the young man I just saw walking in
the canyon with a shovel would it not
there's the only shovel they got the one
in the barrel well it's a pleasure
meeting here and see you again
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Mr. Sam yeah that's him definitely is he
a patient here elsens an outpatient we
haven't been able to do much for him I'm
afraid he doesn't or won't speak won't
he had some sort of traumatic experience
when he was a teenager what kind of
experience he went missing for several
days no one knows where but when they
found him he was like he is now it's
simply withdrawn and we didn't know him
before so it's been difficult to
evaluate him it's been you know eight
years now eight years dr. Hawlings I've
been doing a little research on the town
and about eight years ago there was a
horrible incident two kids yes it was
horrible and it was about that same time
but there is no connection they caught
the man who did it I mean you said Elson
wasn't trying to hurt Megan or lead her
away right no but I don't really know
because he ran as soon as you saw me
Megan is fine yeah we're the ones having
a nervous breakdown well maybe a little
bit of good news will cheer you up.
Megan is doing remarkably well I don't
know what to ascribe it to but something
is causing unusually quick progress what
do you mean well we're seeing a lot of
improvement in her drawing therapy and
she sometimes responds to voices I would
say that your decision to move here was
a wise one
there was a box of clippings under his
bed
what you broke into his house they were
about the murder those two kids and him
missing at that time here look at this
you took this just looks like Megan's
exactly Go Fish
and Yeltsin Gerrits the killer
[Music]
You say your daughter did that sense yes
she did it my wife is a witness and your
interpretation is that those are the two
murdered children
I mean Markel and Joshua na res it's not
an interpretation well this was what
else we did I know I should have gone in
there and I shouldn't have taken that
but Graham I'm scared to death for my
kids I don't want to do this again
no it's pretty close all right
I don't know Victor it's not like I can
bring out some in for questioning over
there in the first place he can't
communicate he's he's in shock maybe as
a result of that crime if you can get a
search warrant and go into his hospital
I know you're gonna find more evidence.
Graham you said yourself that you had
doubts that Minaya was guilty I went
down to the prison and spoke with him
there's no way that man's the killer
come on Victor get a search warrant
I need a judge I don't explain this to a
- judge come on downstairs with me how - I'll show you something.
So this is old man Templeton's magic
machine huh Thomas Edison actually no
way take a look
man himself I'm impressed how's it work
I'll plug it in
[Music]
No
I have no idea all I know is every time
it's on something happens it's bet I've
seen him and I've heard him everyone has
[Music]
And now you've seen the results
she very soon came to an open field with
a word on either side of it it looked
much darker than the last word but Alice
felt a little timid about going into it
however on second thoughts she made up
her mind to go on for I certainly won't
go back.
Megan something wrong sweetheart
know what it is trust me Graham I'm not
crazy
no I don't think you are it's promise me
one thing in stay away from the Garrett
house one break and I can justify to
what you know
sure Thanks talk in the morning yeah
laughing Megan
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
The machine.
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
The best I can do I haven't practiced
first date since Girl Scouts yeah that's
great thank you
maybe I should drive you to the hospital
oh I'll be okay a minute
why did he attack you I don't know maybe
I was in the way in a way I don't think
it was me he was after oh my god
you folks keep a gun no well you might
consider it just to be on the safe side
what about Elson he's still out there
and he's dangerous
well if you press charges I can bring
him in if I'm lucky I can keep him from
jail but for how long
I don't.
[Music]
Look at that that's wonderful
you're doing great honey
[Music]
Machan your daddy and I know that you're
trying to tell us something something
that is very important to you and to us
we know it's not just about what
happened to your friends a long time ago
[Music]
But it's something that is scaring you
[Music]
Toy how can mommy help you
[Music]
Do your friends want us to leave
what do they want us to stay
[Music]
Do you want something to eat
mm-hmm no what about Jesse I'll pick him
up let me get him I need a break
not going so well well I can't
concentrate
so I see I can't get her drawings out of
my mind
circles Meghan's using them in our
paintings now I think she wants us to
stay here good I wonder if her drawings
those circles could be caves
I mean Allison's picture was a hole but
it's the same thing could it be them
the bodies are in those caves and the
canyon
I wonder if they've searched those caves
I'll ask around.
[Music]
Megan.
[Music]
[Applause]
Who are you.
[Music]
Gave it to ya lucky you you catch him
yet yeah dad home yeah see yeah see we
have a warrant for his arrest
so far no he's the only one it's not the
point
we don't have proof I certainly didn't
get a good look at him but he knew where
everything was
the painting the machine in the offices
must have been watching you that means
that he knows that we're on to him
that's why he frightened us to get us to
leave seems like it if he'd come for
your daughter he probably could have
taken her maybe he's not as slow as
everybody thinks he is
we know he can read we saw all those
clippings he had maybe you're right
people think he's slow because he can't
talk and because he acts kind of strange
but I don't know I don't think even his
own father knows what's really going on
with him well that's a surprise
hi there
she still gets tense around strangers
but not so long ago she wouldn't have
come that far it's bad all that's
happened maybe because of it she's
starting to open up it's for the first
time live hope
well Garrett's place backs onto the
canyon just like this one does oh I'll
see what I can turn up
[Music]
He was down at the community center
showing off his bike like 40 minutes ago
it's on 15 minutes from here where is he
maybe just riding around hi George this
is Sheila
have you seen Jessie down by your place
you haven't seen a boy on a bike have
you no you sure about that
where's your son you stay away from my
son I know you sent Scofield around
again stirring up trouble.
Yeltsin never had nobody understand he's
the one that's been hurt and no one's
ever done a damn thing about it now you
get off my property mister your son
ain't here.
[Music]
Jesse
[Music]
Any sign in Jesse no not yet uh-huh
a bike trails down there but it's a
pretty responsible boy Meghan where you
going yeah he's uh he's probably just
having fun someplace I don't think
there's anything to worry about
we're Victor right I was just about to
call you
what is it I just started checking
things out down here
[Music]
Jesse I'll organize a search party
there's no time Elson has Jesse he's
down here somewhere
you know what's happening victor maybe
nothing at all you know that's not true
where does this trail lead eventually to
- the cave you're coming with me I'm not - gonna let you go alone.
[Music]
Thing else kill those children and
