A Haunting at Silver Falls Page #3

---

Would your prefer

to meet there?

Oh.

And what are we happy about?

- That we just completed

the task,

so we get to move on.

- Are you sleeping?

- Like a baby.

- Are you afraid?

Of being left alone?

- I prefer it.

- Mm.

Your grades, Jordan,

they've been...

Up and down.

Is there someone else

in the room?

- No.

- Are they telling you

not to trust me?

- Are you hearing things?

- 'Cause you keep looking

over there.

- I'm nervous.

- Are you afraid

of what's in your file?

- No.

- 'Cause you look troubled.

- I have a math test.

- Okay.

I want to see you once a week.

Wednesdays?

But if you continue

to lie to me

and avoid my questions,

I'm gonna want to see you

every morning.

And when I see you next time,

I want you

to tell me something that

no one else knows about you.

- [Gasps]

- You okay?

- No.

- I knew you'd get tired

of pretending you liked it here.

Look.

There's this place I go

when everything seems

to get to be just too much.

It's a little waterfall

over in silver falls.

You can walk behind it.

- Why would I want to do that?

- Watch the icicles melt?

Things seem to go right for me

after I go there.

Do you want to go?

- Hey, leave her alone.

- Or what?

- Nothing.

Just stop being a jerk,

and you can just go...

- Robbie, stop!

Get off him.

What's wrong with you?

Get off.

- Get off.

- Just showing him

how it's done.

- Are you okay?

Are you just gonna let him

do that?

- He's just like his dad.

He gets away with murder.

Always has.

I'll be fine.

I was actually about to get

the upper hand.

I think he knew it.

- Let's ditch.

- I have

a killer attendance record.

- Not anymore.

Come on.

- Where do you want to go?

- The cemetery.

- I was thinking the same thing.

Cemetery.

Um...

You're looking for someone?

'Cause I-I could help.

- I don't know the name.

- Okay, what's going on

with you?

- Saw your father today.

- Really?

Office or kitchen?

- Kitchen.

- Good.

What'd you tell him?

You seeing him twice a week?

- Once.

- Good.

Did he ask you what's your first

memory of elementary school?

- No. I have to tell him

something no one else knows.

- That's more serious.

What are you gonna say?

- That I like to hold my pee in

till the absolute last second.

You know, man over nature.

- [Chuckles]

Oh, God.

You're good.

You've done this before, huh?

Look, a lot of people

have talked to my father.

It's a small town.

But don't worry.

He won't say anything

you've said.

- I'm gonna tell you something

that's actually true.

- You can trust me.

- I'm being followed

by a dead girl.

- Where?

- She's behind you.

- What's she look like?

- You know, my mom was crazy.

My dad told me.

She didn't just drown.

She walked into the water.

It's happening.

I'm turning into her.

- She saw dead giris?

- No.

I don't know.

[Sniffs]

- Well, what does she want?

- I think she wants us

to follow her.

- You... you lead the way.

You think she's headed

to water street?

- You'd know better than me.

Wait up a sec.

- Do all your girlfriends

see the dead?

- Um, only the ones I like.

- Crazy feels really normal.

Sort of.

She stopped.

- Where did she stop?

- Outside that bar.

My God.

- Jordan.

Jordan, what are you doing?

- Hey, hey, son,

you got some I.D.?

- Wyatt dahl's scheduled

to be executed

tonight at 11:
00 P.M.

Dahl was tried and convicted

for the brutal slaying

of his twin daughters

holly and Heather dahl,

and he's been sitting

on death row for over 20 years.

- I know who she is.

- I know this looks bad.

But it's the best thing

for you.

- I trusted you.

- And you think I let you down.

But it's only

because I like you.

- It's going to be okay.

We know exactly what to do.

- We have a plan.

- I'm not crazy.

I'm not crazy.

No, I'm not like my mother.

I'm not!

- No, there's no need for that.

We'll just take this

to my place.

We'll have a nice little chat.

- Come on.

Let's go.

That's all right.

- I hate you.

- I know.

- All of you.

- Okay, we are going

to have a conversation.

If you get violent,

you will be sedated.

Understood?

- Out.

- Thanks for this.

Better go wait outside.

- I want Larry to leave too.

- He stays.

He lives here.

And like the rest of us,

this legend of the dahl twins

has caused this town

a great deal of grief.

- I don't know anything

about the twins.

I just know that one of them

is shadowing me.

- Follows you?

Rides in the car?

Meets you at school?

Turns on faucets?

Crawls into bed with you?

There are variations

for the folie a deux.

- I don't know what that means.

- It's French for madness

shared by two.

First discovered in Paris

at the turn of the century

in a set of twin giris.

They both believed in an

alternative versin of reality.

- What reality?

- You're not the first to have

seen one of the dahl twins.

Jenny mcadams was the first.

She told susie Childs.

Susie told Nancy Fitz.

And before you knew it,

all three claimed

to have seen one of the twins.

- But I just found out

they existed an hour ago.

Nobody told me anything.

- I did.

We were at silver falls.

- How could you?

- He's lying.

What are you doing?

It's one thing to snitch on me.

It's another to set me up.

- It wasn't by name,

but I told you

about the candy, the doors,

the appliances.

I thought it'd be okay

because she was

from out of town

and she wouldn't know about it.

- After everything

that's happened?

- I didn't mean it.

I just wanted her to like me.

- So you're saying

I made it up?

- No, but you are embracing

the delusin.

Listen,

delusions are the mind's way

of easing the pain of reality.

It's normal.

Except when they're contagious.

- Well, can I talk to Jenny

and Nancy and susie,

whatever their names are?

- They thought Wyatt

was innocent

and the real killer

was after them.

They believed their delusin,

and in order

to escape the reality,

they committed suicide.

Jumped into silver falls.

- Well, is Wyatt innocent?

- That sick bastard

bludgeoned Heather

while holly watched.

- Just shut up.

She doesn't need

any more details.

- Jordan, you have a choice.

You can embrace reality,

all of it,

the good and the bad,

or die by delusin.

After Nancy's death,

we had an epidemic

on our hands.

Giris were coming

out of the woodwork

with holly dahl sightings.

I spoke to Wyatt, and he agreed

to talk to anyone

who had seen his daughter.

Now it's my professional opinion

that you should do the same.

- What will happen?

- Well, that's

between you and him.

I will say that I've taken

five giris to see him,

and all five

have stopped seeing holly.

- Well, can I talk to them?

The giris?

- No.

No, I couldn't risk it.

It could cause them a relapse.

- Okay.

- Good.

- All right,

but we'd better hurry.

Portland's 30 minutes away.

He's gonna be dead

in a few hours.

[Door buzzes]

- Sorry for eating in front

of you, but my time is short.

She's one of Parrish's giris.
