1. Come on, Peter.Copy !req
2. Wake up.Copy !req
3. Peter.Copy !req
4. Wake up.Copy !req
5. Here's your suit.Copy !req
6. Do you know if your sister
slept in her room last night?Copy !req
7. I don't know.Copy !req
8. Come on, Peter. Get up.Copy !req
9. Oh, Charlie. For God's sake, come on.Copy !req
10. It was freezing last night.Copy !req
11. That's how you get pneumonia.Copy !req
12. That's okay.Copy !req
13. Okay, come on. Let's go. We're late.Copy !req
14. Your mother's in the car already.Copy !req
15. Um...Copy !req
16. It's heartening to see
so many strange, new faces here today.Copy !req
17. Um, I know my mom would be very touchedCopy !req
18. and probably a little suspicious...Copy !req
19. Um, to see this turnout. So...Copy !req
20. My mother was a very secretive
and private woman.Copy !req
21. She had private rituals,Copy !req
22. private friends, private anxieties.Copy !req
23. It honestly feels like a betrayalCopy !req
24. just to be standing here
talking about her.Copy !req
25. She was a very difficult woman to read.Copy !req
26. If you ever thought you knew
what was going on with her,Copy !req
27. and, God forbid,
you tried to confront that...Copy !req
28. But when her life was unpolluted,Copy !req
29. she could be the sweetest, warmest,Copy !req
30. most loving person in the world.Copy !req
31. She was also incredibly stubborn,Copy !req
32. which, maybe, explains me.Copy !req
33. You could always count on her
to always have the answer.Copy !req
34. And if she ever was mistaken,Copy !req
35. and, well, that was your opinion...Copy !req
36. And you were...Copy !req
37. wrong.Copy !req
38. There aren't nuts in that, huh?Copy !req
39. - No.
- Good.Copy !req
40. Does that have nuts?
'cause we don't have the EpiPen.Copy !req
41. I know.Copy !req
42. Hello, Rexy!Copy !req
43. Good dog.Copy !req
44. Shoes off, everybody.Copy !req
45. Charlie, shoes off.Copy !req
46. It does feel weird.Copy !req
47. Yeah.Copy !req
48. Should I be sadder?Copy !req
49. You should be whatever you are.Copy !req
50. It'll come.Copy !req
51. Hey, how's it going?Copy !req
52. Mmm, just working.Copy !req
53. Taking a break from avoiding the show.Copy !req
54. So, you still toiling away at the hospice?Copy !req
55. Yeah, between this and the, uh, preschool.Copy !req
56. So what's our deadline now? Seven months?Copy !req
57. - Six and a half.
- Ooh, coming up.Copy !req
58. Any ideas for titles?Copy !req
59. Come in.Copy !req
60. Hey...Copy !req
61. - Good night, kiddo.
- Good night.Copy !req
62. Are you, uh...Copy !req
63. Are you feeling okay about everything?Copy !req
64. Yeah. Fine.Copy !req
65. A little sad?Copy !req
66. Mmm...Copy !req
67. Yeah, I get it.Copy !req
68. I know.Copy !req
69. - Good night.
- Night.Copy !req
70. Love you.Copy !req
71. Who's this?Copy !req
72. That's Grandma?Copy !req
73. You know you were her favorite, right?Copy !req
74. Even when you were a little baby,Copy !req
75. she wouldn't let me feed you
because she needed to feed you.Copy !req
76. Drove me crazy.Copy !req
77. She wanted me to be a boy.Copy !req
78. You know, I was a tomboy
when I was growing up.Copy !req
79. I hated dresses and dolls and pink.Copy !req
80. Who's gonna take care of me?Copy !req
81. Um, excuse me.Copy !req
82. You don't think
I'm gonna take care of you?Copy !req
83. But when you die.Copy !req
84. Well, then...Copy !req
85. Dad will take care of you.Copy !req
86. Or Peter.Copy !req
87. You never cried as a baby.Copy !req
88. You know that?Copy !req
89. Even when you were born.Copy !req
90. Did you feel like you wanted to cry today?Copy !req
91. You think it might feel like a relief?Copy !req
92. Good night, sweetheart.Copy !req
93. Mom?Copy !req
94. I just scared myself in the workshop.Copy !req
95. With... With what?Copy !req
96. No.Copy !req
97. Are you done?Copy !req
98. Almost.Copy !req
99. So, maybe we finish the toy
after the quiz.Copy !req
100. What do you think?Copy !req
101. - Okay.
- Okay.Copy !req
102. Oh, my God! What was that?Copy !req
103. So, if we go by the rule
that the hero is undone by his fatal flaw,Copy !req
104. what is Heracles' flaw?Copy !req
105. Arrogance.Copy !req
106. Okay.Copy !req
107. Why?Copy !req
108. Because he literally refuses
to look at all the signsCopy !req
109. that are being literally
handed to him the entire play.Copy !req
110. Okay, interesting.Copy !req
111. So he thinks he has control.Copy !req
112. But let's all remember,Copy !req
113. Sophocles wrote the oracle
so that it was unconditional,Copy !req
114. meaning, Heracles never had
any choice, right?Copy !req
115. So does that make it
more tragic or less tragicCopy !req
116. that if he has a choice?Copy !req
117. - Less.
- Okay.Copy !req
118. - Why?
- Because.Copy !req
119. Care to weigh in, Peter?Copy !req
120. Um, about which part?Copy !req
121. I think it's more tragic because,
if it's all just inevitable,Copy !req
122. then that means that
the characters had no hope.Copy !req
123. They never had hopeCopy !req
124. because they're all just, like, hopeless.Copy !req
125. They're all like pawns
in this horrible, hopeless machine.Copy !req
126. - Hello!
- Hi!Copy !req
127. Did you go up in my mom's room?Copy !req
128. No.Copy !req
129. Mmm. Door was open.Copy !req
130. Hello?Copy !req
131. Sorry. I know it's irrational.Copy !req
132. - No problem.
- Thank you.Copy !req
133. Hey, Dad. It's the cemetery.Copy !req
134. About what?Copy !req
135. Let me see.Copy !req
136. Hello?Copy !req
137. Yes.Copy !req
138. What does that mean?Copy !req
139. Desecrated?Copy !req
140. But it's only been a week.Copy !req
141. Yes, okay, yes. Sure.Copy !req
142. All right. I understand. Yes...Copy !req
143. Uh, why don't I call you back?
Yes. Goodbye.Copy !req
144. What was it?Copy !req
145. Uh, just some billing crap.Copy !req
146. Okay, well, I'm, uh...
I'm gonna go see a movie.Copy !req
147. Okay.Copy !req
148. He would say,Copy !req
149. "I'm a burden, I'm a burden,
I'm a burden."Copy !req
150. And I would tell him,
"No, no."Copy !req
151. But yes, he was a burden.Copy !req
152. Now we've set aside
some time for any newcomersCopy !req
153. who might like to speak.Copy !req
154. So, anyone.Copy !req
155. If it's your first or second time with us,
the floor is open.Copy !req
156. Yes. Would you like to...Copy !req
157. Maybe not.Copy !req
158. Okay.Copy !req
159. No pressure.Copy !req
160. My name's Annie.Copy !req
161. Hi, Annie.Copy !req
162. My mom died a week ago.Copy !req
163. So I'm just here for...Copy !req
164. trying it.Copy !req
165. I have a lot of resistance
to things like this,Copy !req
166. but I came to these a couple years ago.Copy !req
167. Well, I was forced to come
and I guess it, um...Copy !req
168. I guess it helped. So, um...Copy !req
169. My mom was old, and she wasn't
all together there at the end.Copy !req
170. And we were pretty much estranged
before that,Copy !req
171. so it really wasn't a huge blow.Copy !req
172. But I did...Copy !req
173. love her.Copy !req
174. And she didn't have an easy life.Copy !req
175. She had DID,
which became extreme at the end.Copy !req
176. And dementia.Copy !req
177. And my father died
when I was a baby from starvation,Copy !req
178. um, because he had psychotic depressionCopy !req
179. and he starved himself,Copy !req
180. which I'm sure
was just as pleasant as it sounds.Copy !req
181. And then there's my brother.Copy !req
182. My older brother had schizophrenia,Copy !req
183. and when he was 16,Copy !req
184. he hanged himself in my mother's bedroomCopy !req
185. and of course his suicide note blamed her,Copy !req
186. accusing her of putting people
inside him. So...Copy !req
187. That was my mom's life.Copy !req
188. And then she lived in our house
at the end, before hospice.Copy !req
189. We weren't even talking before that.Copy !req
190. I mean, we were, and then we weren't.Copy !req
191. And then we were.Copy !req
192. She's completely manipulative.Copy !req
193. Until my husband finally enforced
a no-contact rule,Copy !req
194. which lasted until I got pregnant
with my daughter.Copy !req
195. I didn't let her anywhere near me
when I had my first, my son,Copy !req
196. which is why I gave her my daughter,Copy !req
197. who she immediately
stabbed her hooks into.Copy !req
198. And I just... I felt guilty again.Copy !req
199. I felt guilty again.Copy !req
200. When she got sick,Copy !req
201. not that she was really even
my mom at the end,Copy !req
202. and not that she would
ever feel guilty about anything.Copy !req
203. And I just don't want to put
any more stress on my family.Copy !req
204. I'm not even really sure if they could...Copy !req
205. Could give me that support.Copy !req
206. And I just... I just feel like...Copy !req
207. I just sometimes feel
like it's all ruined.Copy !req
208. And then I realizeCopy !req
209. that I am to blame.Copy !req
210. Or not that I'm to blame,Copy !req
211. but I am blamed! I'm...Copy !req
212. And what do you think
you feel blamed for?Copy !req
213. I don't know.Copy !req
214. Hey, what's going on
in town anyway, mister?Copy !req
215. A convention or something?Copy !req
216. What?Copy !req
217. Those clothes you're wearing.Copy !req
218. I talked to a guy this morning
who was wearing the same kind of outfit.Copy !req
219. Maybe the guy
you're looking for, huh?Copy !req
220. You spoke to him?Copy !req
221. What did he tell you? Where did he go?Copy !req
222. Hey, what's the matter with you?Copy !req
223. Hey, take your hands off me.Copy !req
224. You will tell me
what he said to you!Copy !req
225. Well, why should I?
Hey, who do you think you are anyway?Copy !req
226. He came in with the dog tags!Copy !req
227. Wanted to know about the address
and I told him how to find it.Copy !req
228. Where?Copy !req
229. Hey, um,Copy !req
230. do you think I could maybe borrow
one of the cars tonight?Copy !req
231. Why? Where are you going?Copy !req
232. Oh, just like a school barbecue thing.Copy !req
233. Oh, so you're not eating with us?Copy !req
234. No, I was still gonna eat here.Copy !req
235. Well, you can eat there
if you want. I just didn't—Copy !req
236. No, no, no. I'm gonna eat here.
I just... I...Copy !req
237. Just be going to hang out.Copy !req
238. No drinking?Copy !req
239. We're not even old enough
to get drinks if we wanted to.Copy !req
240. Well, that's a crock.
I'm just asking if you're drinking.Copy !req
241. Well, I just answered no.Copy !req
242. You gonna take your sister?Copy !req
243. Uh... Does she want to go?Copy !req
244. Have you asked her?Copy !req
245. Charlie?Copy !req
246. Charlie!Copy !req
247. I mean, what are you doing?
Leaving the house barefoot?Copy !req
248. Are you some kind of idiot?Copy !req
249. You can't roam around
with no shoes and no coat.Copy !req
250. - I want Grandma.
- Oh.Copy !req
251. Oh, what? You're angry with me now?Copy !req
252. You are going to this... Hey, socks off.Copy !req
253. You're going to this party
with your brother.Copy !req
254. What party?Copy !req
255. Some school hangout with other kids.Copy !req
256. That's okay.Copy !req
257. No, it's not okay. You're going.Copy !req
258. - Why?
- Because it'll be fun.Copy !req
259. Because you'll get to hang out
with other kids.Copy !req
260. - With who?
- With your...Copy !req
261. With your brother. With other kids.Copy !req
262. - Fine.
- Good. You're going.Copy !req
263. - She's going with you.
- Great.Copy !req
264. Now this really means no drinking.Copy !req
265. Yeah, I really wasn't going to.Copy !req
266. Whoa. Hi.Copy !req
267. Oh. Hi.Copy !req
268. How's the party?Copy !req
269. Why? You wanna know if you should come?Copy !req
270. Uh, yeah. What do ya think?Copy !req
271. Either way.Copy !req
272. Hey, do you happen to smoke at all?Copy !req
273. I have really good weed.Copy !req
274. - The other room has a bong.
- Sick.Copy !req
275. Do you wanna wait out here for a second?Copy !req
276. - No.
- charlie, please, just...Copy !req
277. It'll be two minutes
and then we can hang out.Copy !req
278. You can draw.Copy !req
279. Please, charlie. I'm...Copy !req
280. Oh, shit, look.

281. Not to everyone.Copy !req
282. Yes, to everyone. It's a party.Copy !req
283. - I don't know anyone.

323. Dude, I said "Facebook friends."Copy !req
324. But seriously, you see her statuses, bro?Copy !req
325. Oh, my God, dude, I know.Copy !req
326. - Like, every ten seconds.

327. Oh, dude, what about, uh, fucking...
Let me hit that.Copy !req

329. He calls her something...Copy !req
330. He calls her something really goofy, dude.
What does he...Copy !req
331. Oh, he calls her "princess."Copy !req
332. Who fucking calls

346. I think I'm having a... Like a reaction.Copy !req
347. - What?
- My throat is...Copy !req
348. I think my throat is getting bigger.Copy !req
349. Dude, it's just... It's just weed.Copy !req
350. Chill, man. It's all right.Copy !req
351. Just hold my hand. Hold on.Copy !req
352. Uh, I'm so sorry to chase you down.Copy !req
353. Uh, were you not coming in, or...Copy !req
354. I... No, I just, um... I forgot something.Copy !req
355. Oh, okay, sorry. Sorry, I just...Copy !req
356. I recognized you from a few months ago.Copy !req
357. Oh, God. I feel very silly. I'm Joan.Copy !req
358. Hi.Copy !req
359. Are you doing better?Copy !req
360. What?Copy !req
361. After your mother?Copy !req
362. What? No, no. That's not...Copy !req
363. My, um... My daughter was killed.Copy !req
364. Oh.Copy !req
365. I'm...Copy !req
366. I'm so, so sorry.Copy !req
367. Oh, would you like to come in with me?Copy !req
368. Or we could even just have a coffee.Copy !req
369. Uh, I'm sorry. Really, I, um...Copy !req
370. I can't...
I really did forget something.Copy !req
371. My son died.Copy !req
372. Oh.Copy !req
373. I'm so sorry.Copy !req
374. How old was yours?Copy !req
375. Thirteen.Copy !req
376. God.Copy !req
377. That's awful.Copy !req
378. My son and my grandson
drowned four months ago.Copy !req
379. The little one was seven.Copy !req
380. Oh, my God!Copy !req
381. I've been coming here
for a couple of months now.Copy !req
382. And it has helped.Copy !req
383. It doesn't make it easier, obviously,Copy !req
384. but sometimes it makes it less lonely.Copy !req
385. Okay.Copy !req
386. And now I'm about to
embarrass myself, but, uh,Copy !req
387. if you need someoneCopy !req
388. to talk to...Copy !req
389. 'cause we all do.Copy !req
390. If you need it.Copy !req
391. Okay.Copy !req
392. Thank you. Really.Copy !req
393. Okay.Copy !req
394. Bye-bye.Copy !req
395. - Hey.
- Hey.Copy !req
396. - I'm going to bed.
- Where were you?Copy !req
397. At the movies.Copy !req
398. Gonna go to bed.Copy !req
399. Okay. I'll come up with you.Copy !req
400. Okay.Copy !req
401. I'll be right back.Copy !req
402. No, you won't. You're taking the blanket.Copy !req
403. I can't sleep.Copy !req
404. It's freezing out there.Copy !req
405. Well, the heater's up there.Copy !req
406. Okay.Copy !req
407. Is that okay?Copy !req
408. If it gets too cold, come back in.Copy !req
409. I just need to sleep.Copy !req
410. Shit.Copy !req
411. Oh, Annie. You came.Copy !req
412. It's a little earlier than we said.Copy !req
413. Ah, you're perfect. Come in. Come in.Copy !req
414. Uh, your welcome mat.Copy !req
415. Ah! It's kind of cute, huh?Copy !req
416. Yeah. My mother used to
embroider ones just like that.Copy !req
417. Did she really? Isn't that funny?Copy !req
418. Please come in. Sit.Copy !req
419. First there's the...Copy !req
420. The smell of something wrong.Copy !req
421. And then...Copy !req
422. the body.Copy !req
423. Covered in black blood, like tar.Copy !req
424. And her head wasn't there,
so I couldn't see her face.Copy !req
425. But they were her clothes.Copy !req
426. And her hands, and her little fingernails.Copy !req
427. How is your relationship with your son?Copy !req
428. - Peter?
- Hmm.Copy !req
429. Oh, God. Um...Copy !req
430. Okay, I sleepwalk.Copy !req
431. I mean, I haven't done it in years,
but, um...Copy !req
432. A couple years ago, I woke upCopy !req
433. and I was standing next to Peter
in Charlie's bedCopy !req
434. when they shared a room.Copy !req
435. And they wereCopy !req
436. completely covered in paint thinner.Copy !req
437. And so was I.Copy !req
438. From head to toe.Copy !req
439. And I was standing there
with a box of matchesCopy !req
440. and an empty can of paint thinner.Copy !req
441. And I woke myself up striking the match,Copy !req
442. which also woke Peter up,
and he started to scream.Copy !req
443. - And I immediately put the match out.
- Like, immediately.Copy !req
444. I mean, I was just as shocked as he was.Copy !req
445. And it was impossible to convince them
that it was just sleepwalking,Copy !req
446. which of course it was, but...Copy !req
447. The timing was awful.Copy !req
448. Peter and I had gotten into
this stupid quarreling phase,Copy !req
449. just forever arguing
about nothing, such...Copy !req
450. Frivolous stuff.Copy !req
451. And Peter always held it against me.Copy !req
452. And there is nothing I can say
and nothing I can doCopy !req
453. because it happened.Copy !req
454. While I was asleep.Copy !req
455. Hey! That was quick.Copy !req
456. Did you bike all the way here?Copy !req
457. Um, no. Actually, my friend drove me home.Copy !req
458. Oh, uh, by the way, Peter, have you, um...Copy !req
459. Have you signed up for that,
uh, SAT prep course?Copy !req
460. I'll do it tomorrow.Copy !req
461. Yeah, you know what, you gotta do that
because it's coming up.Copy !req
462. Jesus Christ, Annie.Copy !req
463. You're not planning on
letting him see that, are you?Copy !req
464. - Who?
- Peter.Copy !req
465. How do you think he's gonna feel
when he sees that?Copy !req
466. What? It's not about him.Copy !req
467. Oh, no?Copy !req
468. No. It's a neutral view of the accident.Copy !req
469. Are you, uh,
are you coming down to dinner?Copy !req
470. I'm making dinner.Copy !req
471. No, I made the dinner. I came to get you.Copy !req
472. Come, stay, whatever you want.
I don't really give a shit.Copy !req
473. This is really good, Dad.Copy !req
474. Thanks, buddy.Copy !req
475. You okay, Mom?Copy !req
476. What?Copy !req
477. Is there something on your mind?Copy !req
478. Is there something on your mind?Copy !req
479. It just seems like there might be
something you wanna say.Copy !req
480. - Peter...
- Like what?Copy !req
481. I mean, why would I wanna say something
so I can watch you sneer at me?Copy !req
482. Sneer at you? I don't ever sneer at you.Copy !req
483. Oh, sweetie. You don't have to.
You get your point across.Copy !req
484. Okay, so, fine.
Then say what you wanna say, then.Copy !req
485. Peter.Copy !req
486. I don't wanna say anything.
I've tried saying things.Copy !req
487. Okay, so try again. Release yourself.Copy !req
488. Oh, release you, you mean.Copy !req
489. Yeah, fine. Release me. Just say it.
Just fucking say it!Copy !req
490. Don't you swear at me, you little shit!Copy !req
491. Don't you ever raise your voice at me!
I am your mother!Copy !req
492. Do you understand?Copy !req
493. All I do is worry and slave
and defend you.Copy !req
494. And all I get back
is that fucking face on your face.Copy !req
495. So full of disdain and resentment
and always so annoyed.Copy !req
496. Well, now your sister is dead.Copy !req
497. And I know you miss her,
and I know it was an accident,Copy !req
498. and I know you're in pain.Copy !req
499. And I wish I could take that away for you.Copy !req
500. I wish I could shield you
from the knowledgeCopy !req
501. that you did what you did,
but your sister is dead!Copy !req
502. She's gone forever!Copy !req
503. And what a waste.Copy !req
504. If it could have maybe
brought us together or something.Copy !req
505. If you could have just said, "I'm sorry,"
or faced up to what happened.Copy !req
506. Maybe then we could
do something with this.Copy !req
507. But you can't take responsibility
for anything!Copy !req
508. So now I can't accept...Copy !req
509. And I can't forgive,Copy !req
510. because...Copy !req
511. Because nobody admits
anything they've done!Copy !req
512. What about you, Mom?Copy !req
513. She didn't wanna go to the party.Copy !req
514. So why was she there?Copy !req
515. All right.
We're stopping this right now.Copy !req
516. That's it.Copy !req
517. I said stop right now.Copy !req
518. Fine!Copy !req
519. Fine.Copy !req
520. Joan?Copy !req
521. Oh!Copy !req
522. Annie!Copy !req
523. - Hi.
- Oh!Copy !req
524. - Annie!
- Hi!Copy !req
525. Oh, my!Copy !req
526. How are you?Copy !req
527. - Oh, Annie! I'm...
- Are you okay?Copy !req
528. I'm... I am, yes.
I'm really good.Copy !req
529. I'm really, really...Copy !req
530. Okay.Copy !req
531. Something's...
Something happened, Annie,Copy !req
532. and I feel completely turned around.Copy !req
533. What happened?Copy !req
534. I don't even know if I should say.Copy !req
535. What do you mean?Copy !req
536. You're gonna think I am crazy!Copy !req
537. No, not at all.Copy !req
538. Oh. Okay.Copy !req
539. All right, come on.Copy !req
540. I met...Copy !req
541. a spiritual medium.Copy !req
542. They were performing an open seance.Copy !req
543. I know, I know what you're thinking,
but they asked me to attend.Copy !req
544. They were bringing skeptics in,
and scientists.Copy !req
545. So I went, fully skeptical.Copy !req
546. And what I experienced there, Annie,Copy !req
547. was truly...Copy !req
548. Open seance.Copy !req
549. They brought in the spirit of a man
from the 19th century.Copy !req
550. And no, no, not in a kind of
smoke and mirrors way, no.Copy !req
551. And the man sitting next to me
was a completely cynical neurologistCopy !req
552. and he looked permanently changed
by the end of it.Copy !req
553. No, I... I...
I know what you're thinking. I do.Copy !req
554. But I... I approached
the medium afterwardsCopy !req
555. and I asked her about my son
and my grandsonCopy !req
556. and she came to my apartment and she...Copy !req
557. She ended up performing...Copy !req
558. Well...Copy !req
559. She conjured my grandson.Copy !req
560. No, no, no, I know,
I know what that smile is. I know.Copy !req
561. Annie, Annie...Copy !req
562. I wouldn't believe it either,
I didn't believe it,Copy !req
563. but I heard his voice.Copy !req
564. I felt his presence in the room.Copy !req
565. Annie, this is real.Copy !req
566. What are you doing right now?Copy !req
567. I'm just here shopping.Copy !req
568. Do you wanna come over?Copy !req
569. Oh, Annie. Please, Annie.
I really think you should.Copy !req
570. It would be everything if you came.Copy !req
571. Nice mood-setter.Copy !req
572. Okay.Copy !req
573. I'm going to put my hand on the glass...Copy !req
574. but I'm not going to add pressure.Copy !req
575. You do the same.Copy !req
576. All right.Copy !req
577. Louis...Copy !req
578. Louis, are you here? It's Grandma.Copy !req
579. Louis,Copy !req
580. if you are here with us,Copy !req
581. please just try and slide the glass.Copy !req
582. Louis,Copy !req
583. if you're here...Copy !req
584. Hi, Louis!Copy !req
585. - Hi, Louis!
- How did you do that?Copy !req
586. Louis, I'm going to ask you
some questions. Okay, sweetie?Copy !req
587. If the answer is yes,
slide the glass to the right.Copy !req
588. If it's no,Copy !req
589. slide it the other way, to the left.Copy !req
590. Do you understand?Copy !req
591. Louis, are you okay?Copy !req
592. Are you in pain?Copy !req
593. - Oh, my God!
- It's okay. It's okay.Copy !req
594. It's okay. It's okay.Copy !req
595. Louis, I brought your chalkboard.Copy !req
596. Remember your chalkboard?Copy !req
597. Can you write something?Copy !req
598. Oh, Louis! I love you, sweetheart!Copy !req
599. I'm sorry. Could we stop?Copy !req
600. What?Copy !req
601. I'm sorry. Please...Copy !req
602. Louis, we're going to stop for a second,
but I'll be right back.Copy !req
603. - Are you all right?
- I'm sorry, I'm just... I really...Copy !req
604. I understand, I understand.Copy !req
605. That's exactly how I reacted
the first time.Copy !req
606. I have to go. Okay.
I'm... I'm sorry. Thank you.Copy !req
607. - No, no. It's okay. It's okay.
- Thank you. Yeah.Copy !req
608. I know. I know, honey.Copy !req
609. If you want to try this on your own...Copy !req
610. - God...
- It's okay. It's okay.Copy !req
611. First light the candle,Copy !req
612. then choose an item
that belonged to your daughter.Copy !req
613. That will be your link.
Mine was the chalkboard.Copy !req
614. That's my link.Copy !req
615. It's all right. It's all right.Copy !req
616. It's okay. There you go.Copy !req
617. Then when you're ready,Copy !req
618. read this out loud,Copy !req
619. every syllable, very carefully.Copy !req
620. Sorry, why? What is it?Copy !req
621. I don't know what language it is.Copy !req
622. The medium had me read it first.Copy !req
623. It's to make things start.Copy !req
624. But remember, your whole family...Copy !req
625. Every member needs to be in the house.Copy !req
626. Your son, everyone. Very important.Copy !req
627. - Okay.
- Okay?Copy !req
628. Deep breath.Copy !req
629. You didn't kill her, Annie.Copy !req
630. What?Copy !req
631. She isn't gone.Copy !req
632. Mom?Copy !req
633. What are you doing?Copy !req
634. What's going on?Copy !req
635. You're sleepwalking.Copy !req
636. I'm sorry.Copy !req
637. Is Charlie here?Copy !req
638. Why are you scared of me?Copy !req
639. What?Copy !req
640. I never wanted to be your mother.Copy !req
641. Why?Copy !req
642. I was scared.Copy !req
643. I didn't feel like a mother.Copy !req
644. But she pressured me.Copy !req
645. Then why did you have me?Copy !req
646. It wasn't my fault. I tried to stop it.Copy !req
647. How?Copy !req
648. I tried to have a miscarriage.Copy !req
649. How?Copy !req
650. However I could.Copy !req
651. I did everything they told me not to do,
but it didn't work.Copy !req
652. I'm happy it didn't work.Copy !req
653. You tried to kill me.Copy !req
654. No, I did not. I love you!Copy !req
655. You tried to kill me!Copy !req
656. - I love you!
- Why did you try to kill me?Copy !req
657. I didn't! I was trying to save you!Copy !req
658. Why did you try to kill me?Copy !req
659. Peter?Copy !req
660. Peter, sweetheart? Wake up.Copy !req
661. - What?

662. I am so, so sorry for everything.Copy !req
663. - Please, please forgive me.

664. I can't stand the things I said.Copy !req
665. It's okay. It's okay.Copy !req

683. I don't wanna mess it up.Copy !req
684. Everyone needs to sit. Come sit.Copy !req
685. My friend Joan taught me how to do this.Copy !req
686. What friend Joan?Copy !req
687. We need our palms on the table
and our fingers to touch. Please.Copy !req
688. What are we doing here, Annie?Copy !req

706. I was seeing apparitions earlierCopy !req
707. and I just shook them off
and I shouldn't have.Copy !req
708. Please, I know how it sounds,
but there's no way to talk about it.Copy !req
709. I just need to show you, okay?
Please, you'll see.Copy !req
710. - I'm completely lucid.

730. I'm gonna have us all touch the glass.Copy !req
731. Don't add pressure.Copy !req
732. Now, if you're in here, Charlie,
I want you to move the glass for us.Copy !req
733. - Even if it's just a tiny bit.
- Oh, Jesus Christ, Annie!Copy !req
734. Even if it's just the tiniest
little movement. Okay, Charlie?Copy !req
735. Okay.Copy !req
736. Shit.Copy !req
737. What the hell?Copy !req
738. - What?

743. Okay. Now, charlie,
what I'd like for you to doCopy !req
744. is I'd like for you to show them
what you did earlier.Copy !req

746. - Mom.

747. - That's enough.

There is no need to be scared.Copy !req
759. This is your sister.Copy !req
760. Mom.Copy !req
761. Charlie, what's wrong?Copy !req
762. Hello?Copy !req
763. - Mom?
- Mom?Copy !req
764. - Mom?

776. What the hell? What are you doing?Copy !req
777. What happened?Copy !req
778. Our country has had
many ups and downs,Copy !req
779. economically speaking.Copy !req
780. We've talked about the struggles
during the 1800sCopy !req
781. compared to the fall of 1929,Copy !req
782. in an era that become known appropriately
as the Great Depression.Copy !req
783. For a decade, we suffered
through many, many hardships.Copy !req
784. In 1929,
Wall Street had been going so wellCopy !req
785. that when it finally crashed
because of the Great Boom,Copy !req
786. it caused a huge decline in the economy.Copy !req
787. So much so that it caused food lines.Copy !req
788. This is where the Federal Government has,
or still has...Copy !req
789. Uh, uh. Yes, Peter?Copy !req
790. Um, I'm sorry.
I have to go to the bathroom.Copy !req
791. Um, of course. Take the pass.Copy !req
792. As I was saying...Copy !req
793. Hello?Copy !req
794. Can you guess
who just called me from schoolCopy !req
795. in complete hysterics?Copy !req
796. Charlie?Copy !req
797. What?Copy !req
798. Uh, nothing. What happened?Copy !req
799. Peter just called me, Annie,
terrified, crying in the halls,Copy !req
800. convinced he's being threatened
by some vengeful spirit.Copy !req
801. Why does he think he's being threatened?Copy !req
802. Listen to me, Annie.
I have a son to protect.Copy !req
803. What does that mean?Copy !req
804. It means that that's what
I'm worried about right nowCopy !req
805. and that's how—Copy !req
806. Hey, don't talk to me like this.Copy !req
807. He's my son too—Copy !req
808. Oh!Copy !req
809. Do not hang up on me again.Copy !req
810. I am not sleepwalking anymore.
Do you understand?Copy !req
811. At the tone,
please record your voice message.Copy !req
812. When you are finished recording,Copy !req
813. you may hang up or press pound
for more options.Copy !req
814. Annie, hi!Copy !req
815. This is Patrick at the Archer Gallery.Copy !req
816. Um, I was just calling
first to see how you're doing,Copy !req
817. how your family's doing.Copy !req
818. We've all been thinking about you
and just worrying about youCopy !req
819. and hoping you're okay.Copy !req
820. You guys have been
in our constant thoughts and prayers.Copy !req
821. And then also, uh,
we just wanted to, well, to say first,Copy !req
822. if you need us to postpone the show
or push the date,Copy !req
823. it's obviously more than okay.Copy !req
824. And if not, uh, we just wanna call and seeCopy !req
825. if we could help in any way or offer...Copy !req
826. Oh, jeez. That smell.Copy !req
827. Annie? What's that smell?Copy !req
828. What the fuck happened here?Copy !req
829. I didn't feel like looking at it anymore.Copy !req
830. Charlie?Copy !req
831. Peter? Oh my God, Peter!Copy !req
832. What's wrong, baby? What's happening?Copy !req
833. What are you doing?Copy !req
834. What do you mean?Copy !req
835. You were pulling on my head!Copy !req
836. What? No, I wasn't. I just came in.
You were screaming. What happened?Copy !req
837. I saw Charlie in the cornerCopy !req
838. and then you started
trying to pull my head off!Copy !req
839. Oh, Peter. I would never do that to you.
Are you crazy? Please, baby.Copy !req
840. What corner did you see Charlie?Copy !req
841. Peter, listen to me.Copy !req
842. I don't know what's happening
or what you just saw,Copy !req
843. but I am stopping this.Copy !req
844. Do not tell Dad what you just said to me.Copy !req
845. Do not, okay? Because it is not true.Copy !req
846. Something is happening
and I'm the only one who could stop it.Copy !req
847. Do you understand?
I'm the only one who can fix this.Copy !req
848. Joan?Copy !req
849. Joan, please. I need to talk to you.Copy !req
850. Joan, I really need to ask you a question.Copy !req
851. Joan!Copy !req
852. Peter!Copy !req
853. Peter!Copy !req
854. Peter!Copy !req
855. I expel you!Copy !req
856. Zantany!Copy !req
857. Dagdany!Copy !req
858. Aparagon!Copy !req
859. Peter!Copy !req
860. Get out!Copy !req
861. Peter!Copy !req
862. Oh, God.Copy !req
863. so everyone feels justified.Copy !req
864. Iphigenia's murder
was commanded by the gods.Copy !req
865. So, really,
Agamemnon had no choice...Copy !req
866. Peter.Copy !req
867. Peter, what's wrong?Copy !req
868. Peter, are you all right?Copy !req
869. Can he breathe?Copy !req
870. Peter, what are you doing, man?Copy !req
871. Call from West High School.Copy !req
872. Hello.Copy !req
873. Yes, it is.Copy !req
874. Oh, thank God.Copy !req
875. Wait, what? Oh, my God!Copy !req
876. What happened? What happened to him?Copy !req
877. Oh, no, no, no, no, no.Copy !req
878. Oh, my God. Oh, no. Oh, who did that?Copy !req
879. He did it, apparently, to himself.Copy !req
880. Smashed his face into his own desk.Copy !req
881. Okay, Steve. Wait, wait.
Wait, Steve. Listen.Copy !req
882. Take his feet.
Please, take his feet.Copy !req
883. Steve, uh, upstairs...Copy !req
884. In the attic, when you were gone,
I went up there and I...Copy !req
885. I just... I really need you
to go up there and see what I saw.Copy !req
886. There's a body.Copy !req
887. Yeah. I mean, I think it's my mother,Copy !req
888. I think, but I can't tell
because the skin's all blackCopy !req
889. and she's all distended,
but the head is gone.Copy !req
890. Will you, please? I just need you
to go and see upstairs.Copy !req
891. Please, Steve.Copy !req
892. And then there's more.Copy !req
893. You mean more than
your mother's headless body?Copy !req
894. Of course there is.Copy !req
895. - Jesus, fuck!
- Okay, there's more.Copy !req
896. What the fuck was that?Copy !req
897. Why didn't you call the police?Copy !req
898. The police can't help us.Copy !req
899. Who the fuck is that up there?Copy !req
900. Do you remember Joan,
my friend whose grandson died?Copy !req
901. - She took me to her apartment.
- It did look like your mother.Copy !req
902. Well, listen.
She taught me how to do the seance.Copy !req
903. I didn't even want to,
but she brought her grandson backCopy !req
904. and I saw it and felt it
just like you did with Charlie.Copy !req
905. Now, look. This is my mother's album.
Now look here.Copy !req
906. See this? See her?
That's her. That's Joan.Copy !req
907. She didn't even mention knowing my momCopy !req
908. and I've never met her before,
but she approached me.Copy !req
909. She consoled me.Copy !req
910. She told me about this seance,
and she showed me how.Copy !req
911. Now look at this. See this symbol?
On the necklace my mom gave me.Copy !req
912. It's her necklace, right?Copy !req
913. They're both wearing it,
and they're wearing it in every photo.Copy !req
914. And look at that pattern!
Did you see up there?Copy !req
915. This was painted above the body, right?Copy !req
916. In blood!Copy !req
917. You dug up the grave.Copy !req
918. It was you, wasn't it?Copy !req
919. What?Copy !req
920. All those nights you were pretending
to go to the movies.Copy !req
921. You're not even listening!Copy !req
922. And then the day the cemetery called,
I said,Copy !req
923. "Oh, I won't tell her
because she'd be worried."Copy !req
924. Oh, God damn it! Listen to me, Steve!Copy !req
925. I know you don't trust me
and there is nothing I can do about that.Copy !req
926. But they put a curse on us
when we brought Charlie back.Copy !req
927. We made a pact with something.Copy !req
928. Something that is in this house.Copy !req
929. I don't know what it is,
but it is after Peter.Copy !req
930. I watched these pages fill.Copy !req
931. All of them are Peter!Copy !req
932. I'm sorry. I don't know what I did.Copy !req
933. I don't know what I did,
but Peter is in danger.Copy !req
934. And I started it.Copy !req
935. Now, if we destroy this book,Copy !req
936. it will take me too.Copy !req
937. I tried to burn it. I tried.Copy !req
938. But my arm caught on fire on its ownCopy !req
939. as if I was linked to it
because I am linked to it.Copy !req
940. I understand this now. Please!Copy !req
941. If we don't destroy this book...Copy !req
942. Peter will...Copy !req
943. Oh, God. Do you understand?Copy !req
944. We have to do this.
Please, please, please, please.Copy !req
945. For Peter.Copy !req
946. I need you to trust me, Steve.Copy !req
947. It needs to be me. It's my fault.Copy !req
948. It's my fault.
I know it's my fault. Please.Copy !req
949. Please, I need you
to throw it in the fire.Copy !req
950. Please, I just... I can't do it.Copy !req
951. I can't. I'm just too fucking scared.
But if we don't do it...Copy !req
952. If we don't do it, it's gonna be Peter,
it's gonna be our son.Copy !req
953. Okay, I know this. I know so.Copy !req
954. Just, please, please,
please, please, please...Copy !req
955. Steve, please. Please understand, baby.Copy !req
