Ghost of Goodnight Lane Page #6

So what happened to her?

Once Jeanie was gone,

things got worse.

The older Carly got...

Oh, the wicked games

that little girl played.

She tortured her stepfather.

Poor man, was a wreck.

He couldn't sleep at night, but

he was determined to do

right by Jeanie and me.

One night, I came home from work,

and the house was

quiet... too quiet.

As I started to get

things ready for dinner,

I found the first drops of blood.

When I found her, she was

playing with her dolls,

as though nothing

had ever happened.

What did she do?

Carly stabbed her

stepfather to death.

Cut him to pieces.

And then, had a tea party.

And what did you do about that?

I gave Carly a bath

every night, so...

it wasn't out of the

ordinary to her for me

to give her one that night,

especially since she

had blood on her.

She hopped right into the tub.

Then, I drowned her.

And... the cops didn't

give you any trouble?

You know, they're not really...

I'm sorry.

Mr. Manson was a horrible man.

He spread fear throughout

in those days.

I told them who she was.

How she was related

to that... monster.

I told them how she...

No, dear.

I had no problems from anyone.

How do we get out of here?

Yeah...

I think she has made it

pretty clear what she wants.

Whether you go or not,

this house has to stay.

- No sale.

- No sale.

No restaurant.

No knocking down of anything.

No, we're, absolutely...

whatever, right.

I have to be the one to tell it.

I'm the only one she'll listen to.

- That's all right.

- So, let's do that.

- Okay.

- Let's do this.

- Sounds sage.

- Careful with her.

She goes down pretty easy.

Amin.

You all right?

I've been better.

Dog stayed with me all night

'til you stepped on my face.

All night, huh?

I'm sorry, you okay?

Oh, my God!

- Lauren!

- Laurel.

Not now.

Where's John...

Mo.

Stay here where it's safe.

Someone's gonna have to

clean up that mess, Ben.

All right, here you are, okay?

Just, please, be careful.

We just painted.

- You stay right there, honey.

- Okay.

This is my game now.

Yep, you saw the mess she made...

Boy!

This is my granddaughter.

I know exactly what to do.

You just back off.

Carly?

Carly May.

Grandma's come home, sweet girl.

And it's time for you

to let these people go.

Carly, do you hear me?

Yes.

It's time to let these people go.

They're going to leave

this house now,

and you and I can stay

and wait for daddy.

Thelma Perkins, no.

I have lived a long life,

without my daughter,

without my granddaughter,

but I can go with my girl now,

if that's what she wants.

Right, Carly, baby?

This is my house.

Always!

Forever!

Thelma, no!

We have to help her.

She'll die in this.

It's what she wants.

You've got what you want, Carly.

You've got the house.

Now, let them go.

Liars!

I don't believe them!

Alan...

tell her.

Why did I stand up?

Tell her, and you have to mean it.

It's the only way.

Look, the house is yours, all right?

I swear, it's yours.

No one's gonna tear

this thing down.

You've got what you want.

The house is yours.

Now, let them go.

One more thing, grandma.

You took my life!

So now, I need yours!

Let's go.

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

So, go, we go now?

- Chloe, you okay?

- Yeah.

Stay focused.

And, you know, Goodnight

Lane is a great location.

They're about to expand

into four lanes.

The property value's

just gonna go up.

So, Mr. Kardashi,

what do you think?

I mean, uh, everything

looks good, but, um...

It's just a little too

small for what we need.

What about this building here?

Oh, no.

Nobody's in it, right?

That building's been

empty for a few years.

This space is perfect

for a parking lot.

Any chance we could

get our hands on it?

No. I tried that a few years

back for another client,

but the owner refuses to sell.

But they're not using it...

Uh, weird, I know, but

they won't go in there,

and they said no one

else can either, yet.

Come on.

Everybody's got a price.

Maybe.

I'll be honest.

If there's not even a chance,

I don't think we'll be really

interested in this purchase.

But, if you can

convince them to sell,

I'm sure we can add a little

nice bonus to your commission.

You know what, it has

been four years,

I'm sure that the owner's changed

his mind by now about selling.

I think I can help you guys out.

What's in there, anyway?

They're definitely not gonna

be using this place again.
