house once a month...

Just to cleanse the negative

currents.

I'm going to book a flight out

there for next week.

No, no, no, no, no, that's too

much, that's not necessary.

I appreciate it though.

John's mom

I'm coming either way.

If the house doesn't feel

right...

We'll put it right back

up on the market.

I can't afford that.

Not for a while, at least.

John's mom I'll put

you guys up in a hotel...

If I have to, or you

can move in with me.

When do you start

back up with work?

Um, next week, I'm doing a

remodel on a local business.

And the kids start school, too.

John's mom

don't you worry.

I'll be there soon.

I love you.

I love you, too.

John's mom

I'll check in with you...

Before I fly out.

I knew I should have stayed out

there after the funeral.

You guys want to go see a movie?

Answer me when

I'm talking to you.

I'm going out.

I'll see you later.

You guys want to play a board

game? That could be fun!

You can pick!

Not really.

No?

May I be excused?

C'mon.

Guess it's just you

and me, bud.

Are we gonna eat takeout

for dinner every night?

So, I need to get some stuff

from the store.

Put your shoes on,

we're gonna take a ride.

No. I don't want to.

We're watching a movie.

Then you can put it on pause.

We'll finish it

when we get back.

C'mon dad.

I'll watch Aiden, you go.

Absolutely not.

Why do you keep

treating me like a baby.

I know you're not a baby anymore

and I'm very proud of you.

Perfect timing. I need to get

some stuff from the store.

Can you keep an eye

on these two?

Okay.

Thank you.

Hi, Claire.

Claire hi.

What's up?

Hello? John, how are you?

Yes.

I'm good. Is everything okay?

Claire

yes, everything's fine.

I just wanted to check in and

see how Victoria was doing.

Oh, yeah, yeah, she's fine.

The doctor said it was nothing

serious. So, thank you.

Claire

oh good, I'm glad to hear that.

No problem.

Hey, while I have you.

Are you sure you didn't

know anything...

About the history of the house?

Claire

uh, I already told you no.

Well, I find that a little

hard to believe.

Claire and why

would I lie to you John?

Well, I can think of a few

reasons, commission number one.

Hello? Claire? Cl--

b*tch.

I'm home.

Hello, guys?

Guys?

Hello?

Aiden! Victor--

Victoria? Sweetie?

Victoria--

ah... the three of swords.

It relates to heartache

and sadness.

What the hell is going on here?

Oh... I'm sorry i--

please leave!

Dad!

No, I apologize,

i rang the bell and--

I told you kids not

to play with this stuff!

You scared the hell out of me!

But--

no, it's my fault.

I came by to bring that cake

that I baked--

oh, well, I appreciate

the f***ing cake!

I don't appreciate you teaching

them about this sh*t!

And I don't appreciate you

entering my house...

When I'm not here.

They told me that you

left them alone.

How was I supposed

to just leave them alone?

Are you calling me a bad father?

I left them in charge with my

older daughter, thank you.

Please get out of my house...

Now!

I'm sorry, guys.

What the hell is wrong with you?

She had a cake!

I knew who she was. I saw you

talking to her the other day.

Don't talk back to me!

I left you in charge of your

little brother...

And you let strangers

into the house?

I wish you were gone

and mom was still here.

Stop screaming!

Izzy? Izzy!

Izzy, open the god damn door!

Izzy, open the god damn door!

Izzy, open the god damn door!

Unbelievable.

Hello!

What?

You're grounded.

What? Are you kidding me?

Oh, my gosh!

Get out of my house.

Leave my family alone!

I'm so sorry.

Melissa.

I just had to come back

and apologize.

I intruded on your family.

It was wrong.

I know you meant no harm.

I apologize for yelling.

You had every right to!

It's just--

what?

There's something not right

about this house.

My father came to lay mouse

traps when it was vacant.

Something happened to him,

he had a stroke...

And he hasn't been the same

ever since.

Melissa, I'm truly sorry

about your father...

I appreciate you coming by,

but it's late, so--

is everything okay, John?

Everything is fine. Goodnight.

Sh*t.

Hey, babe.

Hey.

So what's the plan?

Just thought we'd go park

somewhere...

Spend some time together.

Real smooth.

So when are you gonna

tell your dad about us?

Not anytime soon...

At least, that is if you

never want to see me again.

It's that serious?

Just believe me when I tell you

it's not a good idea, okay?

Well, I have some good ideas.

What are those?

What the f***?

Aiden! Victoria!

Aiden! Victoria!

Victoria! Aiden? Aiden?

Come on, baby! Come on!

Come out! Where are you?

Where are you?

Izzy? Aiden?

Guys?

I got you! I got you!

Victoria? Guys?

Where are you guys?

Answer me, guys,

you gotta help me out.

Aiden? Victoria?

No! Stop! Hey! Stop!

Stop! Stop it! Stop!

Dad?

Victoria?

Victoria?

Dad?

Dad, you up here?

Oh, my god! Dad!

Wh-- what happened?

Burn it.

What? What are you

talking about?

Burn it!

Burn what?

What are you talking about?

Burn the chest.

No! No!

Dad?

Dad, no, I love you.

Oh, my god, oh, my god,

oh, my god, oh, my god.

You cannot save them, girl.

Kill her.

F*** you!

Please work. Please work!

Please work!

Stay away from me!

Come on! Come on!

Come on! Come on!

Get away! Get away!

Get away from me!

Victoria! Aiden!

Aiden? Victoria? Are you okay?

Oh, my god.

Wake up, baby!

What happened?

Oh, my god. I love you

guys so much.

I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Are you guys okay?

Wake up, baby.

Wake up, wake up.

Are you okay?

Wake up, Aiden.

Operator

9-1-1, what's your emergency?

Hi! Again, hi, please...

Have an ambulance and police...

I'm at 329 Willow--

the number you have reached

has been disconnected.

Hello?

Hello?

Come on, come on!

Now... you're all mine!

This is gorgeous.

Yes! This is it!

Look at that porch,
