Dead Night Page #4

to their cabin

then bound to a tree

and disfigured.

Oh, Casey.

If things had been different,

you could've joined us.

You certainly have

the stomach for it.

The stomach for what?

- What's coming next.

- Becky's grandmother...

Lily Lane.

The call was very short.

She just wanted

to let me know

that my granddaughter

had arrived safely.

- Who are you?

- We've always been around.

Right from the beginning.

Some people call us witches.

But I like to think of us

as a collection of old gals

who just care,

and have the power

to do something about it.

Although this tragedy

occurred during spring break,

the chill of winter continued

through March that year.

The Pollack family set out

for a nice few days

in the mountains,

only to have their plans erupt

into madness and murder

on their very first night

in the cabin.

What am I watching?

The future.

Listen.

We've seen countless generations

destroyed by chaos.

Destroyed by their own nature.

And when we can...

we like to move

the big picture forward.

Like to find people

who can do it for us.

- Belief makes us strong...

- Like her?

It is belief that will deliver

us to a better tomorrow.

Well, she's the horse

we're betting on.

We used to be able to look

into a glass or flames.

Searching for a glimpse

of what was going

to come next.

But now, we can pick up

the signal direct.

[electricity buzzing]

It's all inevitable.

Can you help me?

How do I save my family?

You're not the only one

who's made a sacrifice.

I gave them Becky.

I'm not gonna pretend I didn't

know what was going on.

This was the cabin

where a mother gruesomely

burned the bodies

of her husband

and two children.

[surprised gasps]

Shh! Shh.

Stop it.

You've got to go

and collect

the stone fragments.

To do this, you must

sever their heads,

then burn them.

It's the only way

to set them free.

The paths that define us

have already been chosen.

Go!

The ritual's almost complete.

F***ing b*tch.

[tires screeching]

[gasping]

I just want the fragments.

You saw the ladies.

And they kept you alive?

Well, it's no matter.

Your family's mine.

[yells]

[frightened gasps]

Help me bring

the boy to cycle.

[screams]

[distant grunting]

Hey Martha.

Did you hear that?

What is going on

out there?

[gurgling]

[wheezing]

[gasps]

Oh!

Oh, Carl, I have

to call the police.

[tense music]

[thud]

Oh my God.

Yes, a woman and a girl.

Please hurry.

Holy sh*t.

[cellphone vibrating]

Walker.

Come again?

Yeah, I'm on my way.

[gasps]

Jason!

Oh my God.

You're okay.

We have to get out of here.

[thud, screams]

[spits]

You should be nicer to me.

[laughs]

Oh yeah.

Ha ha ha.

I'm gonna

kill you for this.

No you're not, dear.

I'll leave you devils to it.

[orchestral music]

[grunting]

[screaming]

[thud]

[thud]

[female operatic singing]

[distant yells]

[police siren wailing]

Ma'am, put down the ax.

Put down the ax

and get down

on the ground now!

[operatic singing continues]

[V/O] For Casey Pollack,

the truth of that

gruesome night

is locked away with her.

Unknowable to police

and psychiatrists alike.

Perhaps in time,

she will be able to share

what really happened

on March 21st, 2015.

But more importantly,

what became of Becky Lane?

Some stories will always

remain a mystery.

And the case

of the Axe Mom

could be one of those.

While we can examine

the facts...

we may never really

know the truth.

From everyone here

at Inside Crime.

Thank you for watching.

I'm Jack Sterling,

and I'll see you next week.

[crickets chirping]

Please let me go!

I won't say anything.

Oh my God.

What's happening?

You're part of a bigger

picture, dear.

[grunting]

It'll all be over soon,

I promise.

[screaming]

No! No!

[screaming]

Please, help me.

[shrieks]

[choking, gasping]

Here we go.

[screaming]

[screaming]

[roars]

[roars]

["Miracle Moment of Love"

by Rudy West]

We danced in the moonlight

Held hands in the park

We strolled by the river

And kissed in the dark

I've never had

the glow I feel tonight

It's a miracle

moment of love

Seems like forever,

I searched by the pond

Could love me completely

Now look what you've done

I only know

I've never felt so right

It's a miracle

moment of love

If this isn't real,

please shake me

And tell me

I'm wasting my time

If you're just a dream,

don't wake me

Just let me go on

feeling hope

The bells in the chapel,

tells time, twelve o'clock

A new day's beginning

and so is our love

Now I can't wait

until tomorrow night

It's a miracle

moment of love

[tense music]

[TV broadcast] He was a quiet

man who mostly kept to himself,

until his neighbors made

a gruesome discovery.

Six bodies along with

a missing boy,

still alive.

That's next week right here,

on Inside Crime.
