constructive.

I'm going out.

- Somebody woke up with a stick

in their ass this morning.

- Zoe, that's not a

nice thing to say.

- Well, it's true.

- He's your father.

You have to respect him.

- Whatever.

- Can I help you?

- Actually, I'm

here to help you.

Please listen to me.

- Are you a Jehovah's Witness

or trying to sell

me something here?

- No, no no no no.

It's nothing like that, please.

- Well I don't mind telling

you it's a bit weird

just seeing you pull up

in my driveway like this.

- I know, please listen.

I know this is

gonna sound crazy,

but you and your family

are in mortal danger.

You need to get your

wife, your kid...

- Wait a minute.

You're that crazy lady who

came here the other day,

to tell my buddy

he shouldn't have

sold me this place, right?

- Look, whatever Teddy

told you, I am not crazy,

and he knows what

happened in this house.

He knows it should have

been burnt to the ground.

You need to leave.

- Are you threatening me?

- No, I'm not.

Listen.

- What's going on here?

I'm Carol Harrison, and you are?

- My name is Donna MacCready.

I'm here to warn you

you're in grave danger.

You need to take your children,

especially the youngest one.

She's in the worst danger.

- What do you mean?

- You just need

to leave this house,

and go back where you came from.

- I want you to get

the hell out of here.

Get the hell out of here now.

- Please listen to

what I'm saying.

I'm gonna go, okay, but

I'll give you my card.

It's got my cell, my home,

you call me anytime,

night or day.

- Go now.

- Please listen

to what I've said.

I am not the enemy here.

I'm trying to help your family.

I'm going.

Please remember what I said.

- Alyssa, Zoe.

Will one of you go get the dog?

- Damn it.

- Oh my God.

- Mom, I heard you screaming.

What's up?

- Whatever you do, stay inside.

- What's going on?

- Just stay inside.

What have you done?

What have you done?

You killed our dog!

- Oh my God.

- Let's go.

Run for the car.

- Oh my God.

- Ben.

- Oh my God.

- Thank you so much

for meeting me.

- I'm so glad you called.

- I didn't know what else to do.

I couldn't call the police.

He's still my husband.

- Let's hope he still is.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- How much do you know

about the house that

you're living in?

- Other than thinking that we

totally got gyped by Teddy,

not too much.

- Yeah, you're talking

about Teddy Corbett.

He's been trying to

unload that place

unsuccessfully for years

until you and your

husband came to town.

Everybody knows

what happened there

with the orphan murders, and...

- Murders?

- Did you ever hear about

the infamous orphan murders?

Couple of filmmakers

have been coming to town

trying to make a movie

about it for years.

- Yeah, I heard about them,

but I thought that was

somewhere up north.

- No, it happened in the house

that you and your

family are living in.

- What?

- It's not the only bad

thing that happened there.

If I knew then what

I know now, I...

- What all happened?

- It's all in here.

All of it.

- Carrington Orphanage.

- Yeah, so the house

has gone through

reconstruction and renovation,

but it was built

in the early 1800s

by a man named Paul Corbett

and his wife Hester.

- Teddy's ancestors.

- One in the same.

I mean, the facts have been

obscured over the years.

Not sure exactly what happened,

but something really terrible

happened in that house

between Hester and

her husband Paul.

So no one really knows

what happened one night,

but Paul and Hester got

into an awful fight,

and Paul left in the

middle of the night,

was never seen or heard from,

and Hester hung herself

in the basement.

- What?

Oh my God.

- So, legend has it that

Hester placed a curse

on anybody that spends

any time in that house.

I mean, whether you believe

in that kind of thing,

but I am telling you

nobody that has spent

any time in that house

has come to a good end.

Everybody has been

affected by that curse.

- But, yet, here you are.

You seem to have escaped

the so-called curse.

- Yeah, well, maybe I haven't.

- My daughter Alyssa.

- The youngest one?

- She's been drawing pictures

of things that you've described,

and things since.

- Like what?

- Here's something

for your scrap book.

- Oh my God.

- Oh my God.

- What is this?

It's awful.

- Oh my God.

Oh my God, we gotta go.

Oh, oh.

Girls, we're going.

- Hello.

Who's there?

- Hey stranger.

Wanna come in and wash my back?

I'm not mad.

What don't you come in?

We'll work it out.

- What the f***?

Ben, why are you calling me?

- I need to talk to you.

It's important.

- It's very late.

- I know, okay.

I wouldn't have called you

if this wasn't important.

- Where's Carol?

- She left.

- Why?

Did you tell her about us?

- No, something else.

I need you to come see me.

- Look, I don't think

that's a good idea.

- Joan, please.

This is important, okay.

I want you to come see me.

- F***.

- Hello.

Are you still there?

- Yeah, I'm still here.

Look, what happened

with us in the past

was a huge mistake.

- Look, okay, we've been

through this before.

It has nothing to do about that.

I'm in a bind here, okay.

I need you to come see me.

- Why don't you call Teddy?

You know he's still

your best friend.

- No, he wouldn't understand.

Please.

- Okay.

But I don't wanna

hear about the past,

and I don't want you

starting anything new,

or else I'm leaving immediately.

You understand?

- I understand.

I promise nothing

like that will happen.

- I'll see you in a little bit.

F***.

Ben.

Ben, it's me.

Joan.

Let me in.

Ben.

Are you gonna let me in,

or are you just gonna

let me drown out here?

- Yeah, come on in.

- So?

What's this all about?

You got me here, don't

leave me in suspense.

- It's in the kitchen.

Let me show you.

- Oh, what the hell, Ben?

Why are the lights

off in this place?

- It's on the counter.

Alyssa drew those.

She drew that one today.

She knows things

are gonna happen

before they do, somehow.

- Before they do somehow?

- Why are you doing this to me?

I know what you want me to do.

If I do this,

do you promise all the

bad thoughts will go away?

- Comin'.

Slow your damn roll.

Who is it?

- It's me, Ben.

Open up, man.

Something terrible has happened.

- Jesus.

Get in here, man.

What the hell happened?

Was there an accident?

- Sort of.

- Wait here, I'm gonna

get an ambulance.

- No.

No doctors, no cops.

- Ben, wait a minute.

- You're awake.

Thought I'd have to get

started without you.

Let you give you a

piece of advice, Ace.

There are two things

you never f*** with

that belong to a man.

Two things!

One.

A man's family.

And two, is money.

You screwed with both, Teddy.

So...

Any last words?

Huh?

I guess it's kinda hard to talk

with that gag in

your mouth, isn't it?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Well, I hate to

break this to you,

but this is gonna hurt a lot.

I really hated to do that to ya.
