too close to this thing.

A phone call for you,

Mike, on three.

Take a message.

It's Laura Price.

Thanks.

This is Detective Lyons.

No, I hadn't heard.

Okay, I'm on my way.

What's up?

That was the woman

from the Midnight jury,

- the one I spoke to after the funeral.

- And?

Another juror

was found dead.

I told Miss Price

we lock the doors

at 9:
00 sharp.

After that, no one

comes in or out.

That's Frank's room in the back.

Would you mind

fast-forwarding?

What was that?

It's an old system.

That happens all the time.

Can I get a copy

of this?

Yeah, sure.

O Lord, we commit

the body of this child

to your safekeeping

in eternal flame.

Hey.

Are you hungry?

I'm hungry too.

Come on, let's go.

Oscar?

Hold on.

Sorry, there's no

vacancies.

No, I'm not here

to rent an apartment.

I'm here to see

a friend's place.

Okay, well,

the call box is...

right over there.

I'm here to see

the Palardis apartment.

Okay, I'm gonna tell you

the same thing

that I told

everyone else:

I'm not letting anyone

into his apartment, okay?

Look, I'm not

a reporter, okay?

Uh, hold on.

Please, just five minutes.

The execution of Evan Lucas

took place at 12:01 A.M.,

December 30th.

...and begin

my second book

covering the investigation

of the Midnight case.

I saw it

again this afternoon.

I:

- it seems to be stalking me wherever I go.

I want to know what you

heard in Frank's room.

Well, have you brought

any bread for my birds?

No, this isn't about the birds.

We need to talk about Frank.

I... I don't know

any Frank.

Yes, Frank... he lived

next door to you.

- He passed away two nights ago.

- Please, I don't...

No, please.

You said you heard talking.

My birds would never

hurt anyone.

"So many evils"... what

does it mean? I need to know.

Oh, I... I d...

evils.

Excuse me.

A word, please.

A word.

Our residents are nearing

the end of their lives.

They are tired

and they are confused.

She was not confused.

I am sure

that Miss McCarthy

thought that she

heard something.

- She did hear something.

- However,

I will not allow you to

continue to upset the residents.

Fine.

Just let me talk to her

one more time.

I am sorry, Miss Price,

that is not going to happen.

I need you to go.

Now.

I'm sorry.

Sonia Martinez? Hi.

It's Laura Price.

We were on the jury

together.

Yeah, I saw you at the

funeral the other day.

I was hoping maybe

we could get together.

I want to talk to you

about a few things.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

Yeah, I can

drive down too.

Okay, thanks.

Bye.

Laura.

- Hi, Sonia.

- This is Eli.

Hi, Eli.

My name is Laura.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Nice to meet you.

- How have you been?

- Good. Good.

- Can I get my face painted?

- Eli.

- Please.

- Okay.

But Mommy's gonna stay here

and talk with her friend, okay?

Sonia...

Frank's dead too.

What? When?

Two days ago.

Mommy, I want to be

a zombie.

No, honey,

nothing scary.

Fine.

They're saying that

it's natural causes.

But you don't

believe them.

I spoke to the woman that lived

in the room next to Frank's

and she said

that she heard voices

coming from his room

the night he died.

But I checked, and there

was no one on the visitor log

and there was nothing

on the security cameras.

Did she say

what she heard?

Yeah.

The bizarre thing is

that I got these texts

the night that he died.

"So many evils. "

Yes. Did you

get them too?

What could they mean?

Who...?

Do you think it's possible

that a spirit could contact you

from beyond the grave?

Oh.

I don't know.

Maybe. Why?

Well, a couple

of weeks ago,

I started to get this

sensation when I was alone,

like someone

was watching me.

And my parish priest said

that there's no such thing

and I was just making it up in my head.

But the strangest

part is,

"So many evils"

is the last thing

that Evan Lucas said

before he died.

What if he's come back?

What if he wants revenge

for what we did?

He could come back

for any one of us next.

He...

what is it?

You see something,

don't you?

Eli!

Eli, come here.

- I'm not done.

- Now.

- Be careful.

- Just go.

Sweetie, we have to go. We

can't do any face-painting.

What?

Dunbar?

Directory

assistance. City and state, please.

San Francisco,

for a Rob Dunbar.

Please hold.

I'm sorry, but that number

has been disconnected.

Is there a forwarding

number or address?

No, ma'am,

I'm sorry.

Okay, thank you.

Hi. You've reached Sonia.

Please leave a message.

Sonia, it's Laura. Do

me a favor, call me back

as soon as you can, okay?

It's really important.

I'm gonna try

your other number.

Hello.

- Hi. Is Sonia there?

- Who is this? - This is Laura Price.

It's really important.

Oh, Laura,

I'm sorry.

Sonia passed away

last night.

What?

We're having some people

over to the house

if you'd like

to pay your respects.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, okay.

Um, what's the address?

Hi. Welcome.

Thanks for coming.

I can't believe

she killed herself

in her own house.

What's going to happen

to her son? The family...

This is gonna

be an interesting...

She's with them now.

You're next.

Look.

Two, three, four...

they're dying in order,

every three days.

This is

3,000 miles away.

I know, but I'm

juror number five,

so let's just pretend it

might not be a coincidence.

What do you mean, it

might not be a coincidence?

'Cause Sonia said that she

felt like she was being watched.

And the woman from

the nursing home said

that she heard somebody talking

to Frank the night he died.

We watched the security

tape together.

- Yeah, I know.

- And we didn't see anything.

Well, nothing physical.

Look, what if...

what if he's back?

Who?

The Midnight Murderer...

what if he's back?

Laura,

Evan Lucas is dead.

20 people

saw him executed.

I know.

Trust me, I know.

What if...

what if somehow...

somehow his spirit is

trying to kill the people

that are responsible

for his execution?

I promise you,

I'm on top of this.

Nothing's gonna

happen to you, okay?

I'll have Marin PD put somebody

in front of your house 24/7.

Right.

Can I get you

an escort home?

Um, no.

Thank you.

Um, I'll just wait

for your call.

Thanks.

We're closing

in 15 minutes.

Do you have any books

on the supernatural...

spirits, entities,

anything like that?

Downstairs, A-14.

Thanks.

15 minutes.

Professor Mylene Wolfe,

San Francisco College.

I think they're closing.

A car accident, heart attack,

two confirmed suicides,

and you think someone

actually killed these people?

You were the detective

in the Midnight case.

If you're asking me if I believe

in ghosts, the answer is no.

What about copycats? It's

a five-year anniversary.

What if someone's trying to

make a name for themselves?

Mike.

Four jurors, John.

Maybe we should take

a closer look.

Our subject...

a 45-year-old woman

from Lake Charles,

Louisiana...

had noticed a strange

glare in photographs

that she had taken inside

the home, as you can see here.
