Dead Souls Page #4

Now, the living,

they're very hard to control.

But the dead,

free for the taking.

What can I do to help?

Years ago,

your brother Daniel saved your life

by hiding you in the basement.

And maybe if we contact him,

he'll do it again.

Something's happening.

What?

Oh, we better hurry.

We need

the quality of the sitters.

Something that belongs to us.

And the purpose.

Now what?

The dead sometimes send a marker

to connect them to the living.

Um, a gift.

Did you receive

anything like that?

Well, we couldn't have picked

a better location.

Well, do we hold hands now

or something?

No, uh...

wejust wait.

Daniel, are you there?

Daniel?

Daniel, it's me, Bryan.

Daniel, we want to help you.

He's here.

Daniel, show us

how we can help you.

Daniel, please.

Fifth what?

Fifth nail, what does that mean?

I've heard about it before...

in school... it... it...

it's supposed to go in the heart

during a crucifixion

to end suffering.

It was withheld from Jesus.

They Conroys only had...

four nails each.

There's one more.

It wasn't you, it was the nail.

Then why are they

still after me?

Benjamin Conroy

pledged the entire family

to Osiris.

He has to fulfill his promise.

But before he died,

he didn't want

to finish the ritual.

He wanted to end it.

Oh, God,

it worked.

- Don't open it.

- It's my mother.

- Come on.

- Hey, no, no, it's okay.

- What are you doing here?

- I needed to see my baby.

I'm so sorry for everything,

I shouldn't have come.

It's okay, it's okay,

everything's gonna be fine.

# Will you walk into my parlor #

# Said the spider to the fly #

You're not my mother.

Yes, she is.

I am, Bryan,

I am your mother.

It's time you joined

your real family.

No.

Don't you want to live

for ever, Bryan?

Faith, we can all get

what we want here tonight.

All I want is my baby back.

Share the gift

of the afterlife with me.

You're not part of the final step.

Come here.

Johnny, come on.

You don't have

to be scared, Bryan.

We're all meant to be together.

I just want to hold

my baby boy again.

Come with us.

Get off!

Everything's gonna be okay.

Uh!

Go, go, go, go.

- We can go around.

- Okay.

Now.

Do you still have

those matches?

Yeah.

Okay.

Now, get ready to run.

- Ready?

- Yeah.

Now!

- Guy, come on.

- Spray him.

Come on!

Let's go!

Go!

The final step!

Let her go!

Good night, little brother.

Emma.

Please stop,

stop, let me go!

Please don't do this!

Don't, please, please,

please, let me go!

Please like...

you don't have to do this.

You don't have to do this,

it's not me.

It's not me, it's the fifth nail!

Daniel understands.

Please?

You're making a mistake.

Stop, stop!

Mom, Mom, let me go,

you don't need to do this.

You're making a mistake,

please stop.

Benjamin.

Ben... Dad, please,

Dad, please just stop!

I can help you,

you don't have to do this.

Just let me go!

Please, please, just stop...

Please?

You don't have to do this.

Mom, just let me go,

let me go, I can help you.

Oh, God.

Emma!

Help, please, somebody!

Just stop, you don't have to do this,

I can save you.

Please, I know how to help you.

I know what to do to save you,

just... just let me go.

You don't have to do this.

It's the fifth nail, it's not me.

Please?

Please, please, no, no!

Just stop!

Oh, God!

Please don't, please, please,

please, Mom?

Please, stop.

No, no, please, Mom,

let me go.

Let me go.

Oh, God!

Emma, look out!

Emma!

No!

Emma.

I can't believe you're okay.

Oh, you saved my life.

I'm sorry.

Emma's gone.

Emma's gone?

Daniel?

Hey, boy.

No more suffering.

Save my soul, Bryan.

I can't.

It has to end.

Please don't leave me alone.

I'm sorry.

So, how about you tellin' me

what happened here?

I wouldn't even know

where to start.

Sheriff Depford was

a good friend of mine.

And after his retirement, I kept him

in the loop on the Conroy case.

He shared the evidence

and he gave me his theories.

And I'll tell ya...

I thought

he'd completely lost it.

He wasn't crazy.

Well, why don't we get you

to the hospital

and then we can iron out this story

before you talk to anybody else.

Thank you.

I'll tell you, kid, I just want to get

you on your way home, that's all.

I am home.
