Matthew 18 Page #8
Sorry, Angelica.
There's something weird
going on at my friend
Michelle's place.
Yes? What is it?
Well, I just moved out here
Washington D.C on a scholarship.
But I was allowed to stay
at this place, rent free.
this mysterious old lady
came by, right?
And ever since,
weird stuff has been happening.
I've been hearing weird noises.
Like things have been
falling off the wall.
This lady didn't
even look alive.
Go on.
Well, Tammy and I
were back at my place
and she shows up again
with that same, like,
she had this weird smell
I don't know. I feel like
I'm being hunted for no reason.
she locked the door.
From across the room.
Who owns this place?
It's a long story.
I think you'd better
tell me the story.
Okay well, my mom said that
joint ownership in the property.
Like years back.
Go on.
from here to Georgia and
then my granddad moved
his family to D.C.
But I guess the whole time the
property stayed in the family.
But it's been run by the
other family, the Hillshires.
Hm.
something here.
What?
Michelle, remember when I told
you that my dad said there was
mad scramble for property
around this area?
Yes, but what does that have
anything to do with me
or the property
Many times, a ghost,
if that's what this is,
cannot rest until
a certain conflict
has been resolved.
This can go on for years
and years until
the conflict is resolved.
Or the cause absolved.
Absolved?
Removed.
Okay, this is...
I've heard this all before.
Maybe I should just
go get the cops.
Maybe you should get your stuff
and get the hell out
of that house.
Maybe I should confront
that witch, Ms Hillshire,
with the cops and get to
the bottom of this whole thing.
Girl. Didn't your mom ever
tell you there are some things
Angelica, what do you think?
You do have a choice.
You can walk away.
Or you can confront the problem
Whether you use police officers
or someone else.
It's up to you.
But let me warn you...
Once confronted, they may not
wish to resolve the conflict
but to absolve it.
And when I say absolve it,
I mean remove it.
And when I say remove it,
I mean death.
Something happened
maybe long ago,
that you know nothing about.
Someone was wronged.
linger for generations.
You maybe more involved
than you even know.
Okay, you guys, see.
This sh*t is weird.
What the hell? Really?
And it goes against my beliefs,
which is that
there are no ghosts
Then who was that?
Look honestly, I don't know
but I'm going to find out.
Thank you, again.
We appreciate it,
but we gotta go.
I hope you'll be all right.
Thanks.
Are you sure you don't want
to go to the police?
No. I really have to go
see my aunt Jessie.
It's your daughter.
She's in danger.
I can't reach her.
We will.
Again, I say unto thee...
Hallelujah!
...that if two of you
shall agree
on Earth as touching
any thing that they shall ask,
it shall be done for them...
For where are two agreed...
She must die.
In my name...
Angelica, how did you
get in here?
I'm sorry, Michelle,
I didn't mean to startle you,
but I have something important
to tell you.
Okay.
Upon further research,
I've discovered something.
In 1936,
came here.
With their money,
they ventured into real estate.
This is going to be our house.
We paid good money
for this house and we are
going to keep it.
No, you're not.
It was during the
Great Depression and
times were hard.
Many properties fell
to the open market.
It's been in my family forever.
It's going to stay in my family.
It's not going to stay
in your family. We paid money.
Conflicts would arise
because different parties
would lay claim
to the title deed
of a property.
- I don't care.
- You have no right.
It's not up to you.
It's up to him.
Please. You need to help us.
We need your help. Please!
There's been no evidence
to over ride the rule.
The deed is yours.
Thank you. Thank you.
And what does that have
to do with me?
vanished without a trace.
It's all done. It is ours now to
do what we will with it.
What?
You see.
Avenge us now...
No. Take the child.
Michelle.
You see, Michelle,
I too speak to the dead.
I know what your family did.
How the women were butchered
and buried in the basement.
We hear the pounding
beneath the basement,
so cold,
very cold.
Miss Hillshire now
knows it.
And soon you will too.
In ancient times,
a goat were sacrificed with
the sins of its people.
It's heads decapitated.
Why did you come here?
You're the goat.
The sacrifice for the sins
of your people.
Coward!
You would run.
Move from place to place.
Hillshires wouldn't run.
He doesn't run anywhere.
We waited a long time,
for both families to be here.
The University didn't
recruit you.
Bring her to
hell with us.
It was me who
recruited you.
- Police!
It is done.
This is crazy.
Where's my aunt Jessie?
Jessie Robertson?
Yes. The lady that
called you here.
- That was your aunt?
- Yes.
Aunt Jessie?
Aunt Jessie, where are you?
I'm sorry, Michelle.
I knew your aunt.
in a car accident.
What you talking about?
I've been with Aunt Jessie
the whole time.
Michelle, your aunt's
been killed.
What is he talking about?
I don't get it.
I don't understand.
She was not here with us.
I was with her
this whole time.
No, Michelle, I'm sorry.
She's dead.
Even the dead are real.
Oh, hey, it's Michelle, right?
- Yeah.
- You heading back already?
Yes. I have to go.
It's time to go.
Why so soon?
There are ghosts in Minneapolis.
Oh, girl, tell me about it.
I know exactly what you mean.
There are some things
in the spiritual world
that's beyond our ability
to comprehend.
And as Granddad used to say,
"if it's something
you don't understand,
it's healthier if
you leave it alone."
