Do you think it will

affect the asking price?

Yep, especially

if the buyer's local.

Now I suggest you get the

electrical fixed first

before we do the final estimate.

Here, I can give you this card for

the best electrician in town.

He's the only

electrician in town.

- Thanks.

- I can come back day after tomorrow.

We can sit down, look at the wiring,

and see what needs to be done

without breaking the bank.

I'd appreciate that very much.

Oh, the basement.

I think there's more to it.

- What do you mean?

- Well it's not on the blueprints

and whoever did the wall

did a pretty good job,

but I've doing this

job long enough to know

when there's extra

square feet hidden away.

Excuse me. Hi.

I need to look at

some property records.

You're gonna have to be a

bit more specific than that.

Uh, I just inherited a house

so I need to check some

records for an appraisal.

- Address?

- 1542 Chanley Street.

It's Kaiser Gardens.

Oh.

Hi.

I'm sorry to show up

unannounced like this.

I have something I need

to speak to you about.

Yeah, that's okay.

You don't look so good.

Are you okay?

I'll be fine.

I stopped by the county

clerk's office today.

What did you find out?

That the house has

been in my family

since before they kept records.

Earliest name on the

deed is from 1876. Jacob Kaiser.

That's interesting.

Do you have any information

you want to add on to that?

I don't know what

you're getting at.

I think you do.

There was a note in the file

and the handwriting

matches your handwriting

from Billings's appraisal.

Well I don't like

being ambushed.

What is it about the property

that you're so interested in?

Okay.

Please.

Answer me.

My brother died in that house.

So whatever sick, twisted thing you people

have going on, I'm gonna figure it out.

I told you I only

found that out...

Well, you must know something.

At this point you

know more than I do.

My brother wasn't the only one.

Fifty-three people have gone

missing from that property

in the last 125 years.

The appraiser said the

cops searched the place

top to bottom.

They found nothing.

Yeah, well that's what this

town keeps on telling itself.

You think my uncle did it?

I think it's something worse.

You think it's haunted.

You don't?

I don't care.

I wanna sell it

and get the hell out

of this godforsaken town.

Well I'm gonna find my answers.

And if you end up being

one of those answers,

so help me God.

Thomas? Thomas, Thomas?

Thomas, wake up.

Thomas can you hear me?

Help!

Thomas.

Thomas, wake up.

Thomas can you hear me?

Help! Somebody! Thomas!

What's wrong with him?

Panic attack.

I gave him something

to calm him down.

Come to me.

You're back.

Only in my dreams.

This realm is yours

as much as it is mine.

What about in waking life?

You will be the

one to set me free.

You are lord of the land

which I am cursed to.

You may be mortal, Thomas,

but in the physical realm

you have great power.

The Veiled Demon knows this.

The Veiled Demon?

Is that what I saw yesterday?

She is merely an

intruder on your domain.

She is what made me flee.

Until her curse is lifted,

we can't truly be together.

And to lift the curse,

I need to what? Defeat her?

You are the heir apparent

of the Kaiser bloodline.

Only you can wake me.

You are away from me,

away from your land.

Yeah.

When you are separated

from me, your body withers.

It is the same curse

that imprisons me.

The curse is real, Thomas.

You are in Kaiser Gardens?

Remember the bloodline

will awaken me,

and open all doors.

You must wake up now.

Hi.

I, uh...

...brought you some food.

What time is it?

Last I checked, five p.m.

Here.

What happened?

Um, well,

you passed out at the bar

and then I took you

to the hospital.

The doctor said there was nothing

wrong with you, physically,

and then you started screaming

that you needed to

be taken back here.

You were fine once you

got back to the house.

- Sh*t.

- Yeah.

Um, did you ever figure out

what happened to the lights?

They work on and off.

Especially at night, everything

seems to stop working.

My files.

Why you helping me now?

Mutual interest.

You seem to be stuck

with this place

and I want to find my brother.

You think he's here?

I was living in Oregon

when I got the phone call.

It was hell on my parents

but we spent months searching,

which is why I came here.

I was a realtor in Portland so I figured

it was my way onto the property.

His name is Luke.

He was supposedly

with his girlfriend.

A witness said he saw

him walking this way.

They were out one drunken night.

They must have come to

the house on a dare.

That was the last

time he was seen.

I am completely obsessed

with this place.

Every few years another

person goes missing.

Thomas, you said last night that

Jacob Kaiser is the oldest

holder of this property.

Well two generations

later, Michael Kaiser

was the owner of this property.

Earlier 1900s he tried to burn

this place into the ground.

He died a few days later.

Body just shut down.

From what I could figure out

with your family on this side,

is that it's all pretty

much the same story.

Accidental deaths, suicides.

Males, shut-ins.

I believe that it has

to do with this house.

Some sort of

supernatural connection.

Let's say I'm stuck in

this mansion until I die.

There has to be a way

to break the spell,

or curse, or whatever.

You think it's a curse?

I'm entertaining

the possibility.

But cops, us, have searched

the house top to bottom.

That's why I wanted to

see your uncle's letter.

There has to be something there

that connects your

family's bloodline.

Bloodline.

- Thomas?

- Come on.

Follow me.

I have the letter.

Be careful.

This is it.

Whoa.

Yeah.

So Billings was certain

there was more space

behind this wall.

And your uncle also

says here that there are

more rooms below the basement.

Here.

Yeah, I tried that.

It doesn't move.

Hey, is that blood?

That's what I thought.

Bloodline.

Holy sh*t.

Yeah.

- Looks like there's a tunnel.

- Maybe.

Look at this.

It's a journal.

What are you doing?

In his letter Clive

said the seals are meant

to keep people out.

You.

Where's my uncle's letter?

The handwriting matches, but I

don't understand what it says.

Neither do I. I have no idea

what language this is.

What was that?

Come on.

Let's go.

- Did you see that?

- No.

Thomas.

Thomas, Thomas.

Oh, sh*t!

- Looks like we have to go through them.

- Slowly.

Did you just see that?

Yeah, it's like it

didn't want to hurt me.

There. Come on!

Okay, go. Go.

What the hell was that?

I don't know. Hold this.

I don't see any more.

- Give me the book.

- Okay.

Linda.

- Do you still have the journal?

- Yes.

- Where are the keys?

- Oh, sh*t!

Richard.

Get in.

- Go!

- All right, where?

This is an unexpected way

to meet you officially.

I tried calling you on the

cell phone, but no luck,

so I decided to take a
