00:00:00It is true.
00:00:29It is true that I have sent six bullets through the head of my best friend.
00:00:40And yet I hope to show by this statement that I am not his murderer.
00:00:59I am not his murderer.
00:01:29I am not his murderer.
00:01:59If I were to tell you just when I knew that a friendship with Edward Derby was going to
00:02:07be exhausting, I would say it was within moments of our first meeting.
00:02:11I was a college intern at his father's architectural firm, and Edward immediately took me into
00:02:17his confidences, making me his first and only friend, his personal chauffeur and the keeper
00:02:23of secrets from his smothering, indulgent mother and grim, unsympathetic father.
00:02:28His words, not mine.
00:02:35So I was hardly surprised the day he came to me with what would be an odd request from your
00:02:39average person.
00:02:40But this was Edward.
00:02:41So it involved the practical applications of magic, his words, not mine.
00:02:52And therefore his father could never find out.
00:02:59As usual, it began with a knock on the door.
00:03:02Edward's knock.
00:03:07Dan, I need your help.
00:03:15What's the matter?
00:03:17You're being blackmailed.
00:03:19No, I'm serious.
00:03:22I need your help desperately.
00:03:24The only thing you need desperately is to have your head examined.
00:03:27I can recommend somebody to help you with that.
00:03:29Come on.
00:03:30You really want to know?
00:03:31No, I don't.
00:03:33Actual blackmail, huh?
00:03:34Yeah, it's like they're stealing my milk money all over again.
00:03:37Can't you just ignore it?
00:03:39Trust me, Dan.
00:03:40If it's anything like the second grade, I know how these things work.
00:03:44Pay it and they run away.
00:03:46Run away, they chase you.
00:03:48Is there a reason these things always seem to happen to you?
00:03:51I don't know.
00:03:52So, what do you say?
00:03:54A thousand?
00:03:55You know I'm good for it.
00:03:57A thousand dollars?
00:03:58I don't know, Edward.
00:04:00Come on, Dan.
00:04:01He'll disown me.
00:04:02He would not.
00:04:03He'll cut off my allowance.
00:04:04I'll be penniless.
00:04:05You could always get a job.
00:04:07Out of the question.
00:04:08Dan, this is a grave matter.
00:04:11Is this what Europe does to a person?
00:04:14Yeah, six months ago, I didn't think you would have pulled through.
00:04:17You're talking about my psychological melody.
00:04:22It's called grief, Edward.
00:04:24I was incapacitated with lamentation.
00:04:27Whoa.
00:04:28Semantics and rhetoric, Daniel.
00:04:33I lost my mother.
00:04:36Nothing poetic about it.
00:04:38Hardly.
00:04:39My whole life, my only avenue to freedom was my imagination.
00:04:49I'm not a strange child with a secret of inner life anymore.
00:04:54I'm an enormously educated, dangerous adult.
00:04:59You're not writing this down, are you?
00:05:02I'm writing you a check.
00:05:04For what?
00:05:05For your blackmailer.
00:05:07Because I realize if I don't do it now,
00:05:10I may have to support you for the rest of your life.
00:05:12Because I love you.
00:05:15So let's leave it at that, okay?
00:05:17Thanks.
00:05:18You know I'd do anything for you.
00:05:20Likewise.
00:05:22Oh, there's one other thing.
00:05:25There's a meeting of the intelligentsia at Miskatonic tonight.
00:05:28I need a lift home.
00:05:29Fine.
00:05:30Now get out of here.
00:05:32Some of us have work.
00:05:33Thanks.
00:05:34I'll call you later and I'll pay you back.
00:05:36I promise.
00:05:37You better.
00:05:38Hi, Marion.
00:05:39Good luck with that growth.
00:05:40Hi, Edward.
00:05:42What was that about?
00:05:46He needs a ride home later tonight.
00:05:48I said I'd take him.
00:05:49What happened to his chauffeur?
00:05:51I didn't ask.
00:05:52When's he gonna learn how to drive?
00:05:55Believe me, I've tried to teach him.
00:05:57Edward's mind wanders too much to drive.
00:06:00How convenient.
00:06:01I'd be happy to work with him if he ever decided to be anything other than a perennial child.
00:06:06I'll let him know.
00:06:08If you need me, I'll be out back having a smoke.
00:06:11Marion, you said you were gonna stop.
00:06:14Just getting there.
00:06:15I'm not in the habit of being dishonest with my wife.
00:06:19But where Edward was concerned, I learned long ago that less information meant less aggravation
00:06:24for Marion.
00:06:27It drove her crazy that Edward never seemed to learn from his mistakes.
00:06:31Case in point, the blackmailer hadn't even received his payment.
00:06:35He's realizing.
00:06:37And Edward was back carousing with the Miskatonic set.
00:06:41What is it now?
00:06:43Hey, um...
00:06:45I was wondering.
00:06:51I had an idea.
00:06:52I need to go over to do a little search project.
00:06:55And, uh, I could sure use the company.
00:06:57Get me a couple of them.
00:06:58You?
00:06:59Daniel!
00:07:00Surprise.
00:07:01Um...
00:07:02Hey, let me introduce you to one of my students.
00:07:05Hi.
00:07:06Pleasure.
00:07:07Nice to meet you.
00:07:08Where's the wife, Harold?
00:07:10Cheryl's at home, Dan.
00:07:12Thanks for asking.
00:07:13Now, Daniel here is surely someone who could get you a signed copy of Edward's book.
00:07:18What book?
00:07:19You read another book?
00:07:20No.
00:07:21No.
00:07:22I'm talking about Azathoth.
00:07:24It was 20 years ago.
00:07:26Yeah.
00:07:27But I heard it was really good.
00:07:29It was better than good.
00:07:31It was a phenomenon.
00:07:33He was only 17.
00:07:35It was a one-hit wonder of nightmare lyricism.
00:07:39Too bad.
00:07:40And nine is the first time you know...
00:07:42Who's the hit with this?
00:07:44That's Azaneth Waite.
00:07:46She's one of the, uh, N. Smith Waite's.
00:07:49Excuse me?
00:07:50Strange element there.
00:07:52Not quite human.
00:07:54Been studying with Professor Gilman too much.
00:07:56That's when you first heard to ask the question.
00:07:59Well, um, Azaneth's situation is a bit more authentic.
00:08:05Waite's lived in the decaying mansion on Washington Street.
00:08:09It's creepy.
00:08:10We've been there.
00:08:11All the windows were boarded up.
00:08:14That's what they teach you in New York.
00:08:17Very funny, Dan.
00:08:19Now the old man, Ephraim,
00:08:23was known to have been a prodigious student of the black arts in his day.
00:08:27Before he died,
00:08:28he had been searching for a young man to study under the room.
00:08:32She looks fiendishly like him sometimes.
00:08:35Strange things happen when Azaneth comes around.
00:08:47I saw that look on Edward's face.
00:08:56Was your friend all right in there?
00:08:59She's incredible.
00:09:00The look meant new fascination, infatuation.
00:09:05I was confused as the object at first.
00:09:09Was it the bizarre transaction that I had just witnessed?
00:09:13The bubbling blister on that woman's hand?
00:09:15Or the trance maker who was throwing up and howling in the bathroom?
00:09:23After the smoke cleared and the burns were salved,
00:09:25I learned it was the hypnotist herself
00:09:27that had earned the greater part of his attention.
00:09:31She's got sort of an odd reputation.
00:09:34People are intimidated by her.
00:09:37You're not saying anything, Dan.
00:09:41I'm happy to see you're so...
00:09:47upheaved about her.
00:09:49Thanks, Dan.
00:09:53Thanks for the ride.
00:09:56Thanks for everything.
00:09:58And by the way,
00:10:07I'm not mentioning her to my father.
00:10:21I never thought I'd see the day.
00:10:23Me neither.
00:10:24So how long has this been going on?
00:10:26About a week.
00:10:27So that explains why we haven't seen Edward since, what, Wednesday?
00:10:37Oh, what?
00:10:39Is Dan afraid that he's gonna lose his best friend?
00:10:43Oh, come on.
00:10:44You should be happy for him.
00:10:45He had to grow up eventually.
00:10:46That's just a problem.
00:10:47He hasn't grown up, by all.
00:10:51Good evening, Dr. Upton.
00:11:07Bad word.
00:11:08Bad word.
00:11:09For a second there,
00:11:10I thought that maybe you were one of my patients.
00:11:12Not today.
00:11:13Sometimes they do wander around the house,
00:11:15knock on the wrong door.
00:11:17We really should lock that.
00:11:19I'm not sure, but I think your wife just told me I looked like I was crazy.
00:11:28Well, you know Marion, she's a pretty good judge of these things.
00:11:32Are you crazy?
00:11:33Crazy in love with her.
00:11:35Asmuth Waite, not your wife.
00:11:37Yeah, that's what I figured you'd like.
00:11:38She has seen so much in her life.
00:11:40You can tell just by looking in her eyes.
00:11:42She gave me this so she can always be with me.
00:11:46What the hell is that?
00:11:47I have no idea.
00:11:48I want to see what she sees.
00:11:52My writing has always been so academic until now.
00:11:58She's a fanatical devotee of the black arts.
00:12:07Can you even hear what you're saying, Edward?
00:12:10She wants to become partners.
00:12:12We're going to travel the world together and find things like this from the outside.
00:12:18Are you sure it's a good idea to get involved?
00:12:20To jump into something so suddenly?
00:12:22Marion sees this kind of thing all the time.
00:12:24A parent dies and the child transfers their parental dependence to some new stronger image.
00:12:31It never works out.
00:12:32Promise me you'll at least think about it.
00:12:35If not samely and rationally, then at least maturely before you let it get any farther
00:12:39along than it is.
00:12:41Can you do that for me?
00:12:43Of course.
00:12:48Edward seemed to be moving forward with his new relationship.
00:12:51And as he said to me, he considered it a smashing success.
00:12:55He was less successful in keeping the news from his father.
00:12:59I was summoned to meet with Mr. Derby.
00:13:01And yes, the invitation had been presented to me as formally as if a process server had
00:13:07delivered it.
00:13:09Only I knew the server.
00:13:11It was George, the Derby butler.
00:13:13And as far as I was concerned, the most down-to-earth member of the household.
00:13:17Hi, Daniel.
00:13:18Mr. Derby wanted to see me?
00:13:19He's upstairs.
00:13:20Go on up.
00:13:21Can I bring you anything?
00:13:22No.
00:13:23No.
00:13:24Thanks, George.
00:13:25I'm good.
00:13:34Mr. Derby?
00:13:37Mr. Derby?
00:13:38I'm in here.
00:13:39Mr. Derby, beautiful day, isn't it?
00:13:42Have your lunch yet?
00:13:43Yes, sir.
00:13:44I have.
00:13:45You've eaten already?
00:13:46What time is it?
00:13:47It's 2 o'clock, sir.
00:13:48That late?
00:13:49That's what's lousy about these weekends.
00:13:53Can't keep track of the time.
00:13:56I need something to eat.
00:13:59They got any of last night's concoction in the kitchen?
00:14:03I can check, sir.
00:14:09I need to speak to you about my son.
00:14:13I'm sure you've heard about this girl he's taken up with.
00:14:17Yes, sir.
00:14:18In fact, I have.
00:14:19It's all over Arkham by now, I'm sure.
00:14:22My secretary congratulated me on my son's new romance.
00:14:27I immediately began to wonder what the big secret is.
00:14:32You're a church-going man.
00:14:34You appreciate this.
00:14:35You know what the big secret is?
00:14:36I'm sorry?
00:14:38She's a goddamn necromancer.
00:14:40A what?
00:14:41A witch.
00:14:42She communicates with the dead, casts spells, worships Satan.
00:14:47For the Christ's sake, I don't know whatever else.
00:14:50I can only say I thank God that my wife isn't alive to see any of this.
00:15:00Mr. Derby, I'm sure it'll pass.
00:15:02He's infatuated with her, that's all.
00:15:04Well, I see he's kept you in the dark as well.
00:15:06What do you mean?
00:15:07Well, I wormed the real truth out of the boy.
00:15:12He means to marry this wait woman.
00:15:15They're looking at houses together.
00:15:17He tells me everything.
00:15:19Well, usually you have great influence over my boy.
00:15:24Help me break off this affair, Denny.
00:15:29Mr. Derby, I admire you and respect you.
00:15:32You've done so much for me in my life.
00:15:34I'd do anything for your family.
00:15:35But I know Edward.
00:15:38And this is not him.
00:15:40This is not a question of Edward's weak will,
00:15:43but of this woman's strong will.
00:15:45Must be.
00:15:47Talk to him, Denny.
00:15:49He'll listen.
00:15:51Well, regretfully.
00:15:58Must express my doubts.
00:16:00Nothing more can be done.
00:16:09The Derby summons was followed by another.
00:16:12This time from Edward himself,
00:16:14requesting my presence at a formal function
00:16:16to be given in his honor.
00:16:18And he added if I wanted to,
00:16:20I could bring Mary in with me.
00:16:22I don't think I had to go at all.
00:16:23See, it was important for mine.
00:16:25I know, I'm huge.
00:16:26I don't fit in anything.
00:16:27I know, I can't wait for this.
00:16:28Men will never know what it takes.
00:16:29I know, I can't wait for this.
00:16:30Men will never know what it takes.
00:16:33So why are we so dressed up?
00:16:34I just got married.
00:16:35I just got married.
00:16:36I just got married.
00:16:37I don't know.
00:16:38I don't know.
00:16:39I don't know what it takes.
00:16:40I don't know what it takes.
00:16:42You're crazy.
00:16:43Give me a hug.
00:16:44Crazy.
00:16:45Congratulations.
00:16:46This is my wife.
00:16:47This is my wife.
00:16:48I don't know what it takes.
00:16:49You're crazy.
00:16:50Give me a hug.
00:16:51You're crazy.
00:16:52You're crazy.
00:16:53Congratulations.
00:16:54I don't know what you're saying.
00:16:55I don't know what you're saying.
00:16:56I don't know what it takes.
00:16:57I just got married.
00:16:58You're crazy.
00:16:59Give me a hug.
00:17:00Crazy.
00:17:01Congratulations.
00:17:02How are you?
00:17:03This is my wife.
00:17:04Cheryl.
00:17:05I'm Cheryl.
00:17:06Ezra, I'm Daniel.
00:17:07I know.
00:17:08Edward speaks of you often.
00:17:09Yeah, I've heard a lot about you.
00:17:10You're so much.
00:17:11I don't know what I'm doing.
00:17:12You're so much.
00:17:13I know what I'm doing.
00:17:14You're so much.
00:17:15You're so much.
00:17:17I know.
00:17:18I'm so much.
00:17:19So, I'm so much.
00:17:20You're so much.
00:17:21It's so much.
00:17:22It's so much.
00:17:23I'm so much.
00:17:24You too, it's nice to finally meet you.
00:17:27I've been busy with the wedding.
00:17:28No, I didn't, yeah, I can see that.
00:17:30And my work always keeps me occupied.
00:17:32Sure, congratulations.
00:17:34Thanks.
00:17:36Edward tells me that you guys have purchased
00:17:39the old crown and shield place at the end of High Street.
00:17:40Yes.
00:17:48I just, I hope one day we can.
00:17:50Asenath, any friend of Edward's is a friend of mine.
00:17:54It was only because her voice was still fresh in my mind
00:18:07that I paused when I heard it in a heated conversation
00:18:10just outside the front door.
00:18:12The exchange did strike me as inappropriate
00:18:15considering the occasion, but I didn't mention it
00:18:18to anyone at the time.
00:18:20Events continued to get stranger that day.
00:18:24I have a loved one.
00:18:26I have a loved one, though.
00:18:26But yeah, well, I have a loved one.
00:18:27I have no idea.
00:18:28But yeah, it's a really good time.
00:18:30We didn't know.
00:18:31You could have a loved one, though, or even a little girl.
00:18:32Bye.
00:18:33I've seen her voice in the morning.
00:18:34I know it's so cute.
00:18:35She wants to be a killer and she then
00:18:35wrote a lot to cover every night.
00:18:36If she did so, she did so.
00:18:37I was like, I did so.
00:18:38So she did so.
00:18:39I did so.
00:18:39But her voice did so.
00:18:40I was like, I do so.
00:18:40The three of my conversations in the morning.
00:18:41But her voice did so.
00:18:41I do so.
00:18:42I can even talk about it.
00:18:43They laughed.
00:18:44She gone't like me.
00:18:45I don't know.
00:19:15The coroner's report listed the cause of death to be a dry drowning.
00:19:20Her lungs spontaneously flooded themselves with salt water.
00:19:25It was also revealed that the victim was pregnant,
00:19:28which started a slew of unspeakable rumors about Azadeth
00:19:32and what she wanted from the dead girl.
00:19:35But I never got a chance to discuss it with Edward,
00:19:38because by that time, he had left for his honeymoon.
00:19:40Where he was going, he hadn't thought to mention.
00:19:45After a few weeks, life without Edward took on an eerie stillness.
00:19:49I began to feel a little like I was holding my breath.
00:19:52I mean, the thing is, I had become accustomed to a life of surprises.
00:19:57Contradiction of terms, I know.
00:19:59But what I mean is that I never knew when he was going to show up at my doorstep,
00:20:03or how he got there, or why.
00:20:10I don't care how the baby can be born underwater without drowning.
00:20:13But there's this guy who studied it.
00:20:15Well, anyways, they found that when babies come out underwater,
00:20:17they're actually able to, like, breathe for a couple of seconds.
00:20:19Why do you know the Bradley method if we're lawyers?
00:20:21Well, they've done these studies, Daniel,
00:20:24and somehow once the baby's born, there's less pressure in the water,
00:20:27and the baby's able to somehow breathe as it goes, I don't know,
00:20:30I'll have you read the book.
00:20:31Oh, shh!
00:20:37Welcome back.
00:20:39How's married life?
00:20:41Educational.
00:20:42I've never heard of it like that before.
00:20:44But it's actually not a bad way to look at it.
00:20:47Uh, can I get you anything, Edward?
00:20:50No, thanks. I'm fine.
00:20:52So, how was Europe?
00:20:54I hear it's beautiful this time of year.
00:20:56What we saw of it, we spent most of our honeymoon in more obscure locations.
00:21:01Oh, that's what honeywoods are for.
00:21:03We've been back for about ten days or so.
00:21:05Finishing the restorations on the Crown and Shield House and, uh, the grounds.
00:21:09Sounds exhausting.
00:21:10It is.
00:21:11And that, my friend, is the essence of married life.
00:21:13Wow, the place makes me feel unsettled.
00:21:15Oh, what exactly does Azenith do?
00:21:19You know, for money.
00:21:21Azenith is without doubt a genuine hypnotist.
00:21:25Really?
00:21:26I'm gonna have to remember that.
00:21:28Maybe we'll work together somewhere down the line.
00:21:30Have you met any of her family?
00:21:32Azenith doesn't have any family.
00:21:34Just two incredibly old servants who've been with her dad.
00:21:38And another strange girl who exudes the perpetual odor.
00:21:42Dead fish.
00:21:44Every new situation takes an adjustment.
00:21:48Good luck with that growth.
00:21:53So, I'll wait until we get to see the place.
00:21:55Soon, I hope.
00:21:56I'll let you know.
00:21:59Okay.
00:22:01Should I be worried?
00:22:04Marriage is a good thing for him, Dan.
00:22:07He's having his first taste of responsible independence.
00:22:10And if you have no firm of reference for it,
00:22:12yes, it can be very overwhelming.
00:22:14Okay.
00:22:15It's a little too easy to fall in with the gossipy circles
00:22:30that unite a small town like Arkham.
00:22:32I do my best to stay out of them.
00:22:35But even I was curious about the peculiar union of Edward and Azenith.
00:22:40I found myself driving by his marital residence, Crown and Shield, as it was known about town,
00:22:46to catch a glimpse of his new life.
00:22:49The place was disturbing.
00:22:51I could only imagine his father's embarrassment.
00:22:54Not only had his son married into the most notoriously strange family in a 50-mile radius,
00:22:59but he was living with her in the neighborhood's most dilapidated structure.
00:23:03He was living with her in the neighborhood's most dilapidated structure.
00:23:16No.
00:23:19No, no, no!
00:23:32No.
00:23:33No.
00:23:34Hi! Is Edward in?
00:23:37No.
00:23:38Oh wait! Whoa! Jess!
00:23:40Do you know when he's expected?
00:23:42No.
00:23:43What's your name?
00:23:45Eunice.
00:23:46Eunice is the lady of the housing.
00:23:49Athenite's gone right now.
00:23:58Okay.
00:23:59Eunice.
00:24:04Sort of an eyesore, isn't it?
00:24:17Yeah.
00:24:18Pride and joy of the neighborhood.
00:24:20I was under the impression they were renovating.
00:24:23Ah, who knows. Maybe they're working from the inside out.
00:24:25Have you been in there yet?
00:24:27No. Haven't gotten an invitation.
00:24:29Too bad. Cheryl's been asking for the inside scoop.
00:24:34Haven't you heard from Edward lately?
00:24:37Less and less.
00:24:41You know, I could be mistaken, but I swear to God, I saw him driving a car down Main Street earlier today.
00:24:49Kinda out of character for him.
00:24:51Who knows what his character is anymore?
00:24:53Hey, I don't know if you've noticed.
00:24:58I've never heard this happen with couples who've been married for a long while.
00:25:01Could be. It's just in the eyes.
00:25:04But I swear they're beginning to look alike.
00:25:07Actually, I think that's what they say about dogs and their owners, Hal.
00:25:11Look, I know you're cynical about these things, but one day, if you're ever curious, I'll tell you what I know.
00:25:18The biggest change in Edward was a sudden one.
00:25:34He was like one of those terminally sick patients who hangs on for years and then one day takes a turn for the worse.
00:25:42And as a chronic illness often does, it tightened its grip late one night.
00:25:48We often feel embarrassed to admit to ourselves, not to mention to anyone else, the games that we play...
00:25:58I think someone's here.
00:26:05Oh, shit.
00:26:14What's the matter with him?
00:26:15He called up and said he needed someone to take him.
00:26:18You got him?
00:26:19Yeah.
00:26:21What about my bill?
00:26:22You got a card?
00:26:27I'll send you a check.
00:26:29I'll cover it.
00:26:38I'm losing here.
00:26:40What's that, your mind?
00:26:41My identity.
00:26:42Do you remember that book we were going to write?
00:26:47It was a long time ago, Edward.
00:26:49You were going to illustrate a book of my poems.
00:26:53You said you were going to draw your dreams.
00:26:56You knew something, didn't you?
00:27:00Never give the devil a ride.
00:27:02I'll always want to drive.
00:27:03Are you drunk?
00:27:04I need to have a serious talk with you later.
00:27:10You should stay with your father for a while, until you feel better.
00:27:14My father's dead.
00:27:17My father's dead.
00:27:21Oh my God, Edward.
00:27:23When?
00:27:24Two days.
00:27:25I thought for sure someone would have said something to you by now.
00:27:28I'm sure they figured you would have said something by now.
00:27:31It wasn't in the obits.
00:27:32I don't generally read the obituaries.
00:27:37I'm sorry, Pam.
00:27:43Oh, I'm sorry.
00:27:47Come on.
00:27:48Stay here tonight and get some rest.
00:27:49Stop.
00:27:55Apparently I was wrong about Edward.
00:27:58He's clearly too immature for a relationship of any sort.
00:28:04I'm not even sure that's the right word.
00:28:08No, not immature.
00:28:10Pathologically irresponsible.
00:28:13Contemptuously neglectful of anyone except himself.
00:28:16Marion, don't be so insensitive.
00:28:17He just lost his father.
00:28:18Can't you see he doesn't give a shit?
00:28:20He's not healthy.
00:28:21His wife is worse than he is.
00:28:23Don't be such an enabler.
00:28:25Can't you help him?
00:28:28Is there anything we can do?
00:28:29I can't stand by and watch him destroyed.
00:28:36Maybe we can get to know her better.
00:28:41I don't think she wants us around.
00:28:42I've heard Edward say again and again, she's a very private person.
00:28:45Excuse me if I don't buy into everything Edward says.
00:28:49I have tried talking to her.
00:28:51Bullshit.
00:28:53I'm going over there on Saturday.
00:28:56We'll see what's what.
00:28:57We'll see what's what.
00:29:27I'm going over there on Saturday.
00:29:30I'll see.
00:29:31I'm going over there on Saturday.
00:29:32I'll see it later on Saturday.
00:29:34Bye bye.
00:29:36I'll see you in the next week later.
00:29:38Do you have any idea?
00:29:40Do you think I have any idea about it?
00:29:42I'm going over to the next week later.
00:29:44I'm going over to New York.
00:29:45It's just a dream of me to go to sleep.
00:30:15Hello, may I speak with Aznit?
00:30:45She's not here.
00:30:47Are you sure?
00:30:49I said she's not here.
00:30:52Are you a friend of hers?
00:30:54No, I just take care of the place.
00:30:57That as well as you receive the guests, I see.
00:31:00No, no, no, wait.
00:31:02Look, look, let's stop playing games, okay?
00:31:04I saw her as I was driving up.
00:31:06I saw her from the window and I heard her crying.
00:31:09And I can help.
00:31:10Get out of here.
00:31:11Leave us alone.
00:31:12Let go of this dork.
00:31:14Go away.
00:31:15Look, hey, no.
00:31:17Well, tell her that Marion Upton came to see her.
00:31:21And then I'll be back tomorrow.
00:31:24Can I help you?
00:31:25I'm here to see Dr. Upton.
00:31:27I don't usually take appointments on Saturdays.
00:31:30Is it an emergency?
00:31:32Um, Aznit?
00:31:33Edward's wife.
00:31:34I'm sorry.
00:31:35I don't usually take appointments on Saturdays.
00:31:37Is it an emergency?
00:31:38Um, Aznit?
00:31:39Edward's wife.
00:31:40I'm sorry.
00:31:41You know I stopped by earlier.
00:31:59Edward's wife.
00:32:01I'm sorry.
00:32:03You know I stopped by earlier.
00:32:05I have to apologize for that.
00:32:08And the way Eunice behaved.
00:32:11We've all been under a lot of stress.
00:32:14Um, Edward mentioned the four of us having dinner.
00:32:17Would that be OK?
00:32:18Sure.
00:32:20I actually have some things I want to talk to you about,
00:32:22so that would be perfect.
00:32:23Tomorrow?
00:32:26Sure.
00:32:27I'll check it out with Dan.
00:32:29What time would you like us to arrive?
00:32:32Oh, it would have to be here.
00:32:34We're still not in very good shape for entertaining.
00:32:36Don't be silly.
00:32:37We've been dying to see the place.
00:32:39We'll stop by around 6.
00:32:42I'm so glad you came.
00:32:52Oh, thank god.
00:32:53I'm starving.
00:32:55The baby's really acting up today.
00:32:57Relax.
00:32:58Dinner's coming.
00:32:59Oh, by the way, Azmuth invited us for dinner tomorrow night.
00:33:05OK.
00:33:06Oh, you are so fucking cute.
00:33:17Hello, Eunice.
00:33:18What's the matter with her?
00:33:19She wants to know about your baby.
00:33:20Can't she talk?
00:33:21Not anymore.
00:33:22I brought this.
00:33:23They've been with me all my life, and my father before me.
00:33:25They're not accustomed to visitors.
00:33:26Can I offer you a drink?
00:33:27Water.
00:33:28Are you expecting a boy or a girl?
00:33:29A boy.
00:33:30We figured seeing our baby for the first time would be surprising enough.
00:33:31You're very fortunate.
00:33:32You're very fortunate.
00:33:33You're very fortunate.
00:33:34My father's crowning rage is that I was not boy.
00:33:35You're very fortunate.
00:33:36My father's crowning rage is that I was born a man.
00:33:37Why would he ever been to see my baby for me?
00:33:38My father's crowning rage is that I was not born a man.
00:33:39Why would he ever leave this place to him.
00:33:40Why would he never make it for me?
00:33:45Oh, yeah.
00:33:49Oh, yeah.
00:33:52Why would he have a dad?
00:33:53You're not gonna have a dad.
00:33:54A boy.
00:33:56We figured seeing our baby for the first time would be surprising enough.
00:34:00You're very fortunate.
00:34:02My father's crowning rage is that I was not born a man.
00:34:06Why would he ever tell you such a thing?
00:34:09Well, a male brain has certain unique and far-reaching powers.
00:34:13I've heard the same thing said about women far too often.
00:34:17I was shocked to hear about your father.
00:34:24He was a good man.
00:34:28I know.
00:34:30He seemed to be taking it pretty well.
00:34:34You can talk to me, you know.
00:34:38I'm trying, just not here.
00:34:41There's nobody listening.
00:34:44She is always listening.
00:34:46She always has an eye on me.
00:34:51Okay.
00:34:54Your line of work encourages people to believe that nothing exists that is not of this world.
00:35:01Some people need to be guided.
00:35:03And those are the people you have come to understand.
00:35:09May I use your restroom?
00:35:13Up the stairs and to the right.
00:35:16Oh, and how's that?
00:35:18Hmm?
00:35:20There's nothing wrong with your brain.
00:35:22Look, I can't go on just now.
00:35:35I'll come around next week, okay?
00:35:37I'll come around next week, okay?
00:35:38I'll come around next week, okay?
00:35:44It was a little uncomfortable for Marion to work out an explanation for her momentary
00:36:06hysteria, but that's one of the benefits of her blessed condition. Pregnancy, I have noticed,
00:36:12is a plausible excuse for a never-ending assortment of troubles. Afterwards, we had a good laugh,
00:36:19followed by this awkward silence.
00:36:26She's an interesting woman. I'm not interested.
00:36:30Stop it, Dan. Of what? I don't like her.
00:36:33Well, I'm starting not to like him that much anymore either.
00:36:38She wouldn't tell me anything directly. No kidding.
00:36:42This isn't a joke, Dan. I believe she's being mistreated,
00:36:46and I think he's locking her up inside that house. Oh, God, and those servants,
00:36:50they're never going to do anything about it. Things never change.
00:36:54Do you ever think that maybe he's the one who's being confined and abused?
00:36:59Oh, please. You sound like one of those fathers who's trying to defend their child. It's so-and-so's
00:37:05fault. Well, it's nobody else's fault. Then he's not your child. I mean, your child's inside here.
00:37:13And he needs a father who's not preoccupied with some raving lunatic who's obsessed with magical
00:37:18spells and all that Dungeons and Dragons bullshit, and basically making everybody's life miserable.
00:37:25Because he's been a selfish, spoiled prick his whole life, and he has absolutely no intention of
00:37:30ever doing anything other than making our lives miserable.
00:37:33Marian, do me a favor, huh? Stop thinking. You don't know either one of them. You don't know the facts.
00:37:41What the hell is that? It's just something Azenith gave me for the baby.
00:37:47It's fascinating. Come here. Daniel!
00:37:58I saw Dan's car was gone. I wasn't sure if anyone was home. Are you sick?
00:38:28You were on your way out. I won't keep you.
00:38:30No, no. It wasn't in... Got some time.
00:38:39He's trying to kill me.
00:38:45He did this to you?
00:38:47They did it for him.
00:38:50The servants?
00:38:51You're obviously exhausted.
00:39:00I need to know who was hurting you and why.
00:39:05I can't.
00:39:07Yes, you can. It's okay.
00:39:08Breathe with me a little.
00:39:21Why are they helping him?
00:39:22They do whatever he asks of them.
00:39:25It's the way it has always been since the beginning of time.
00:39:28I'll never get out.
00:39:43He'll never let me go.
00:39:46Where are you going?
00:39:47I'm just going to get something for your arms.
00:40:04Why did he curse that his daughter wasn't a son?
00:40:24Tell me, what did he do to her in that house of horror?
00:40:34What did he do to you, Azna?
00:40:36That's not my name.
00:40:38I never want to hear that name again.
00:40:45Marion didn't know what to make of the visit.
00:40:48Or of the vagaries and riddles.
00:40:50And I couldn't help but be amused by her perplexity.
00:40:54After all, it sounded so much like Edward's usual banter
00:40:57that I had grown to expect nothing less.
00:40:59It was not beyond the realm of possibility
00:41:01that Azanith would share the same enigmatic manner of speaking.
00:41:05And sure enough, when he asked me to meet him at the park a few days later,
00:41:09he greeted me with a similar complicated speech
00:41:12and a fistful of crumpled papers which he called proof.
00:41:16He clenched his precious documents as though they held the secrets of life and death.
00:41:24I don't know where to start.
00:41:26Wherever.
00:41:29Did Marion mention the visit?
00:41:32Visit? No, I don't think so.
00:41:34No, I didn't think she would.
00:41:37Azanith has started talking about the baby.
00:41:50At first I let her do it to me.
00:41:54It was too unbelievable.
00:41:56I thought it was a kind of hypnotism.
00:41:59There I was looking across the room at myself.
00:42:03It was fantastic.
00:42:07When I asked her to stop, she started locking me up in the room.
00:42:14Dan, you have to believe me.
00:42:16I believe there are mental factors which make this marriage suicidal for you.
00:42:27I'll help you get a divorce.
00:42:29I'll talk to her face to face.
00:42:30No, don't do that, please.
00:42:32It's not that simple.
00:42:35She's not going to go away that easily.
00:42:37She wants me for a reason.
00:42:40I have to stop her before it's too late.
00:42:45You looking for somebody in particular?
00:42:47They're always watching me.
00:42:54See him?
00:42:56I think he may be one of them.
00:42:59Yeah, maybe he's just a guy walking in the park.
00:43:01This is not my imagination anymore.
00:43:09I have to go.
00:43:27He left me with one of the pages.
00:43:29His evidence.
00:43:31But evidence of what?
00:43:34I'm either unable or unwilling to tell.
00:43:39The quandary was temporarily moved to the back of my mind
00:43:43with the arrival of more pressing concerns.
00:43:50Marian?
00:43:52Marian?
00:43:53I'm right here.
00:43:54Stop yelling.
00:43:56What took you so long?
00:43:58Where are you going?
00:43:59Where are you going?
00:44:00To the hospital.
00:44:02Baby's coming.
00:44:06Oh, shit.
00:44:07I didn't take him seriously when he said it.
00:44:16I had written it off as a product of his typical penchant for a drama.
00:44:20But Edward had indeed gone away.
00:44:24Once again, he didn't tell me where he was going or when he would be back.
00:44:28It was only a matter of days before I felt a vacancy created by his absence.
00:44:33I had something monumental to share with him.
00:44:37And he had chosen this moment in our lives to disappear.
00:44:40They didn't leave an emergency number or anything?
00:44:42I remembered how he had insisted it would be better for Marian and the baby and me.
00:44:47I had to know what he meant by that.
00:44:48For a month.
00:44:49Unis, this is really not worth additional discussion.
00:44:51I just...
00:44:54Tell Edward that my son was born today.
00:44:57Tell him we named him William after his dad.
00:45:01I thought he might like to know.
00:45:02I'm sure I can't get you anything.
00:45:12Oh, no offense.
00:45:13I just can't stand the stuff.
00:45:16Well, I'll just have to celebrate alone.
00:45:19So, how's father with treating you?
00:45:23I'm not entirely exhausted.
00:45:25Yet.
00:45:27Thanks again, Hal.
00:45:29Forget it.
00:45:30Though, um, not sure I understand you correctly.
00:45:33Was something about Innsmouth?
00:45:35Well, I just want to tap into your expertise a little.
00:45:39You mentioned you knew something about the Waite family in Innsmouth.
00:45:44Came to collect on your offer.
00:45:45Yeah, I could go on all night.
00:45:46What is it you want to know?
00:45:48Well, for starters, what do you know about Asna's Waite?
00:45:51Besides the fact that she's married to your good friend, Edward?
00:45:54Yeah, besides that.
00:45:55It's a weird situation, Hal.
00:45:57I don't know how it's...
00:45:58There's either things he doesn't know about or won't tell me.
00:46:01I knew she had to lock her father in a padded attic room.
00:46:05Towards the end, he began shrieking like a frightened child.
00:46:08How'd he die?
00:46:09Insane.
00:46:11Under rather suspicious circumstances.
00:46:13That was just before she began studying here.
00:46:16Was it murder?
00:46:18Who knows?
00:46:19No one cared enough to investigate.
00:46:21Orphan.
00:46:23No one was brave enough.
00:46:25Did you know him?
00:46:26Who, Ephraim Waite?
00:46:27Yeah.
00:46:28Nobody really knew Ephraim Waite, but we all saw him around occasionally.
00:46:33You too, I'll bet, if you thought about it long enough.
00:46:38I'd seen him come to Arkham a few times in my youth to consult some of the volumes over at the college.
00:46:43When I was younger, we used to, uh, we used to study the things he left behind in garbage cans.
00:46:50Before he caught on, that is.
00:46:53Any little scrap of paper we could find.
00:46:55But, you know, we could never decipher any more than a few of the characters.
00:46:59Characters?
00:47:02You mean like symbols?
00:47:03Yeah, he wrote in this Noachian foreign chirography.
00:47:10Like that?
00:47:11Yes.
00:47:14What'd you get this?
00:47:15That would give it to me.
00:47:16Some notes written by Asmus.
00:47:18Yeah?
00:47:18Hold on.
00:47:33This is his work?
00:47:34Dan, do you see what I see?
00:47:36No, I don't know what you see.
00:47:38Well, these look to be written in the same hand.
00:47:40Not too uncommon, is it?
00:47:44Are you sure this was done by Asmus?
00:47:46I'm sure that's what he told me.
00:47:50Looks too new to be his anyway, I suppose.
00:47:52Did I make anything out?
00:47:54Not much.
00:47:55Not much.
00:47:58But I'm fairly certain that this signifies Hallow Mass.
00:48:02It's an important pagan feast.
00:48:05And I believe this has to do with immortality.
00:48:09Everlasting life.
00:48:11Are you sure?
00:48:15Someone's up there.
00:48:18Well, it just seems odd that they'd leave someone in the house for over a month.
00:48:22Especially in that condition.
00:48:24Well, you never know what those two are thinking about.
00:48:26Ladies, Daniel and I are stepping out for a few minutes.
00:48:29A few minutes meaning how many hours exactly?
00:48:31One maybe.
00:48:32Good.
00:48:34Yeah, Cheryl and I were going to take a walk anyways.
00:48:37See you later.
00:48:38We were?
00:48:39Yeah.
00:48:39It's all right with you.
00:48:41You did fine the other day, didn't you?
00:48:43Barely.
00:48:44I could really use a lookout.
00:48:47No way.
00:48:49I plan to stay far away from whatever's sobbing up there.
00:48:53I'm going over there.
00:48:55Watch the baby.
00:48:57Marianne!
00:49:01What's that smell?
00:49:03Ah, the godforsaken hole.
00:49:06Only the foulest of sea creatures wash up on the shards of Innsmouth.
00:49:10This is where Azena spent her childhood.
00:49:14In a manner of speaking, yes.
00:49:40What happened to her mother?
00:49:59Oh, Evelyn Waits hung herself.
00:50:02Caused her death, ruled suicide.
00:50:04Ephraim had her committed only about a week before.
00:50:07Never even came to collect her things.
00:50:10Now, she spoke in tongues, spitting mad the whole time.
00:50:14I know.
00:50:14A few students tried to get in there to ascertain the language,
00:50:17but no one was allowed to go near her.
00:50:24Come on, have a look around.
00:50:36Ephraim Waits threw himself out the attic window and landed on his head.
00:50:45Cause of death, suicide.
00:50:52Let me show you how he spent the last days of his life.
00:50:56Sure we should go in here?
00:50:58Dan, you scare much too easily.
00:51:06Who owns this place now?
00:51:11Sure, who has their dubious privilege?
00:51:27I don't suppose she's been looking for that?
00:51:29I don't suppose she is.
00:51:30He just saw her in here.
00:51:45Hey, what do you want me to do?
00:51:47It's okay.
00:51:48It's okay.
00:51:57It's okay.
00:52:17Oh, my God.
00:52:47I went home that night feeling as if I had slid down the gullet into the belly of the beast.
00:53:05It was a sensation I hadn't felt in decades, but it was not altogether unfamiliar.
00:53:10Edward and I had planned to write a book together, where I would, as he said,
00:53:14to my dreams.
00:53:17I hadn't told anyone but him about those incoherent images, the terrifying visions that defied interpretation.
00:53:25Except, of course, by Edward.
00:53:28And now their dreams were coming back, and he was nowhere to be found.
00:53:38I went over there today.
00:53:40Where?
00:53:42Crowning Shoe, please.
00:53:44As a result, they don't get the help.
00:53:47What do you mean, you went over there?
00:53:49I mean, I opened the door and I walked in.
00:53:55Okay.
00:53:58We have to do something.
00:54:02I don't know what, but we have to do something.
00:54:06Marion, what did you see?
00:54:10She was bound up.
00:54:11It looked like she could have been left there for any length of time.
00:54:17The ropes had cut into her wrists.
00:54:19God, it was just disgusting.
00:54:22And then she screamed.
00:54:25Who are you talking about?
00:54:27Ask me, Dan.
00:54:29I've heard about stuff like this happening all the time,
00:54:32and I always thought I'd be able to help someone when I saw them suffering.
00:54:35And what did I do?
00:54:36I ran the other way and hid.
00:54:40Like a frightened child had seen a dead thing walking.
00:54:46She's in you.
00:54:48There's something wrong with her.
00:54:51Sitting in that chair so far gone, not even human.
00:54:54Yeah, the whole family went insane, you know that?
00:54:59Edward has nothing to do with her instability.
00:55:02They have to do something.
00:55:05Marion, did anyone see you there?
00:55:07I don't care.
00:55:09They have to know that they can't hide in the house that way.
00:55:12Answer my question.
00:55:13I don't know.
00:55:13I don't know.
00:55:14I'm scared.
00:55:15I hid.
00:55:16I heard someone coming and I hid, and then I got the hell out of there.
00:55:19You promised me you won't go over there again.
00:55:24I can't pretend that I didn't see what I saw.
00:55:26Don't ask you for much.
00:55:28I am asking for this.
00:55:31I don't know what he's been telling you, Dan.
00:55:34I know you think you love him.
00:55:37But he's a liar.
00:55:40It's written all over his face.
00:55:41He's probably the most pathological case that I have ever seen,
00:55:45and yet you still believe him.
00:55:49Hello.
00:55:58Speaking.
00:56:01Is you all right?
00:56:04Where?
00:56:06Sorry?
00:56:10Yeah, of course.
00:56:11I'll, uh...
00:56:12It'll take me some time, but I'll get there as quickly as possible.
00:56:19What was that?
00:56:21It's going to be the sheriff of Chesson Cook Maine.
00:56:25Apparently, a draggled madman stuffled into his town today,
00:56:30raving deliriously and begging for protection.
00:56:34Edward.
00:56:34I was just able to remember his name and my name in front of her.
00:56:47I will be back as soon as I can.
00:56:49I didn't want to leave my wife alone.
00:56:51I didn't want to put her in danger.
00:56:53She was afraid, and it pained me.
00:56:55But I was helpless to stop it.
00:56:58I wanted to hide my own fear from her.
00:57:01I wanted to bring peace and calm and safety back into our lives.
00:57:05But more urgently, I wanted to find Edward and bring him home.
00:57:15I'm here, Amber, and I tell you, we've got very tense situations here right now.
00:57:19Now, Rebecca, I want you to just listen to me for a minute, okay?
00:57:22Yes.
00:57:23Okay?
00:57:24We want to help you.
00:57:25Now, we can help you in a number of ways.
00:57:35And help me.
00:57:37The first thing we can do is pray for you.
00:57:39Okay?
00:57:40Does it hurt?
00:57:41Pardon?
00:57:42Does it hurt?
00:57:42Does it hurt?
00:57:43Our Father in Heaven and the Son, the Lord Jesus.
00:57:46Amen.
00:57:51That's all.
00:57:55It's Michael.
00:57:59Huh?
00:58:02Michael, the archangel.
00:58:04Say Michael.
00:58:06Take some sign of policemen.
00:58:09According to the book of Daniel, when the world's in real trouble, Michael will reappear.
00:58:14How do you know about all that?
00:58:17I was born on Michael mass, and my name is Daniel.
00:58:21I don't know anything about that.
00:58:25I don't know anything about that.
00:58:30Come on, come here.
00:58:32Stay in this door.
00:58:39You've got to get some coffee in here before you head back.
00:58:43You're liable to get yourself killed.
00:58:44I'll take it under advice.
00:58:46It looks like he's asleep now.
00:58:48Can he be released?
00:58:50Yeah, now that I've got someone to release him to.
00:58:52Last time I saw him, he was in no condition to be out on the street.
00:58:56I'm sure he'll be all right.
00:58:57I don't know about that.
00:58:59I'm not sure what happened to him out there.
00:59:01I couldn't get it out of him.
00:59:03He doesn't drive. He probably got separated from his party panic.
00:59:09Give me a call if you remember something.
00:59:12Yeah, sure.
00:59:22What happened to you?
00:59:30Oh, for God's sakes.
00:59:32I can't stand it.
00:59:34I won't stand it.
00:59:36I'll kill her if she sends me back there again.
00:59:38I'll kill it with my own hands.
00:59:39Shh!
00:59:41Please don't make me go back.
00:59:44I can't.
00:59:47You do believe me, don't you?
00:59:49I'm not going anywhere tonight.
00:59:52We'll talk it out. We'll figure it out.
00:59:59Thanks, Dan.
01:00:02If I go back, one of us will die.
01:00:03Stop saying that.
01:00:09Look, it's clear to me you're having real delusions.
01:00:14Probably brought on by some actual hypnotic ordeal you've been subjected to.
01:00:36Dan?
01:00:36You wake?
01:00:41Yeah, Edward. I'm here.
01:00:46I know someday that she's not going to let me go.
01:00:50Even now, it's only when she has to.
01:00:52She takes my body constantly now.
01:00:59Nameless places for nameless rituals.
01:01:06She keeps me locked up in her body upstairs in Crown & Shield.
01:01:09But she can only hold on for a little at a time.
01:01:15And I find myself in these strange, far-off places.
01:01:22Like you found me.
01:01:25I don't know where I am.
01:01:26Hundreds of miles off.
01:01:28Dan?
01:01:29I'm listening.
01:01:32The worst part of it is that I know someday she's not going to let go.
01:01:37She wants to be a man.
01:01:39And to be fully human.
01:01:41What does that mean, fully human?
01:01:46You must have heard about the ends of the blood.
01:01:49There's a legitimate reason why people are afraid to go out there.
01:01:54Edward, I feel like we're telling ghost stories.
01:01:56Like we're whispering in the dark.
01:01:58I mean, I've heard the stories.
01:01:59Edward, you're mostly insane.
01:02:01Don't say that I'm insane.
01:02:02Whether or not I am.
01:02:04I haven't resigned myself to it.
01:02:06I didn't say that you were insane.
01:02:08It's all true, you know.
01:02:10The stories.
01:02:11Whether you want to believe them or not.
01:02:14They're true.
01:02:16You don't have to worry about convincing me.
01:02:17I'd rather spare you the efforts.
01:02:19And remember how I shivered when I gave you those notes of Aznitz?
01:02:24How do you know those papers you gave me were actually written by Aznitz?
01:02:30Is there really such a person?
01:02:33That thing.
01:02:35Edward, you all right?
01:02:59I'm fine.
01:03:00I think we should go home now.
01:03:05I think I've said enough.
01:03:07Good night, Edward.
01:03:08I think we ought to get some sleep.
01:03:10I'm fine.
01:03:12Yeah, maybe.
01:03:13But I need sleep.
01:03:15I spent all last night getting up here to you.
01:03:17Or did you forget about that?
01:03:20I'll try.
01:03:21All right.
01:03:51Either there was truth in what he was saying, or he was just crazy.
01:03:57And if he was, then he was dragging me with him.
01:04:01And what about the change that seemed to come over him, like a mechanical click?
01:04:07It was at that moment that the thought dawned on me.
01:04:10This man that I had for so long considered my closest friend, this person sitting next to me, whose face was so familiar.
01:04:18I may not know him at all.
01:04:21I'm enormously grateful for this lift home.
01:04:34I must forget any crazy things I might have been saying about my wife, and about things in general.
01:04:41It's what comes from overstudy in a field like mine.
01:04:46My philosophy is full of bizarre concepts.
01:04:49When the mine gets overtired, it cooks up all sorts of imaginary concrete applications.
01:04:59You probably won't see me for a while, so don't blame Azna for it.
01:05:03I don't understand what's happening to you.
01:05:07What are you doing up here?
01:05:08Oh, there are certain Indian relics in the north woods.
01:05:13You know, standing stones, that sort of thing.
01:05:15They're very important to local folklore.
01:05:19Azna and I were following that stuff up.
01:05:21It was a hard search.
01:05:22It must have gone off my head.
01:05:26Sometimes I feel like I don't even know you anymore.
01:05:28I'll send someone up for the car when we get home.
01:05:41I won't stand.
01:05:43I'm killer.
01:05:44Look out!
01:05:45Edward!
01:06:09Edward!
01:06:09Edward!
01:06:09Edward!
01:06:13Do it work!
01:06:26Mother!
01:06:37No!
01:06:43You know where you are?
01:06:56Hospital.
01:06:57Who's that?
01:06:58Somebody who's very mad at me.
01:07:00It's all yours.
01:07:03Good morning, Mr. Upton.
01:07:07You totaled the car.
01:07:09Where's Edward?
01:07:10Where was your seatbelt?
01:07:13Where is he?
01:07:14He's probably home resting.
01:07:16He had to walk six miles with a gash in his head to the nearest house.
01:07:19Is he alright?
01:07:22He's doing better than you are, Daniel.
01:07:28Did they find out in this?
01:07:31What?
01:07:34The old church. She was there.
01:07:36Oh, Daniel, let's not start this again.
01:07:40There was nobody there except for you and Edward.
01:07:43And possibly Jesus Christ because you are lucky to be alive.
01:07:47She was trying to hurt Edward.
01:07:50I'm sure if she did, then Edward would have mentioned something.
01:07:57Please, just rest.
01:07:58I need you.
01:08:08By now I thought I would have to accept that my friend was lost.
01:08:12Not that I wanted to.
01:08:14And I wasn't even sure I could, but I didn't hear a word from him since the accident.
01:08:19I've been toyed around with the notion that I might not recognize him if I ever saw him again.
01:08:23I want to go home again.
01:08:54I want to go home again.
01:08:58Edward.
01:09:00Hello, Daniel.
01:09:01How have you been?
01:09:02I was worried.
01:09:04Much better.
01:09:06I just came by to collect some books I lent you.
01:09:09Remind me.
01:09:11Studies of the Old Innsmouth Architecture.
01:09:13Oh, God.
01:09:15Yeah, get him out of here, huh?
01:09:20Where's the baby?
01:09:22Marion took him to the pediatrician.
01:09:28Can you stay for a little bit?
01:09:30Some other time. Those are the books.
01:09:32Yeah. Thanks.
01:09:41I did recognize the man who rang the doorbell that day.
01:09:44It was the same person who drove my car back from the woods of Maine.
01:09:48Edward's regular nervous energy had been replaced by this one's uncanny calm.
01:09:54There was no trace of my old friend left.
01:09:57But just when I had prepared myself to give up on him, I heard his knock.
01:10:03And, of course, I had my doubts.
01:10:05I told myself to be cautious.
01:10:09Do you have any whiskey?
01:10:11Is that what you're drinking all day?
01:10:13Well, steady my nerves.
01:10:15Marion's probably got something stashed away.
01:10:19Asmuth is gone, Dan.
01:10:21She just walked out.
01:10:25I suppose people will talk, but I can't help that.
01:10:30There's no need to mention that there was any trouble.
01:10:33Just say that she's gone on a long research trip.
01:10:38And she's probably going to stay with one of those horrible groups of devotees.
01:10:44And you're okay with this?
01:10:45I hope she'll go out west and get a divorce.
01:10:49It was horrible, Dan.
01:10:51She was making a prisoner of me.
01:10:53This is worth a toast.
01:10:59You're completely out of your mind, and I don't give a shit.
01:11:03It's wild.
01:11:04Drink up.
01:11:05To your newfound freedom.
01:11:06To freedom.
01:11:07The Arkham history ought to back up what I'm saying.
01:11:20What I...
01:11:21What I'm about to tell you.
01:11:25Ah, here we go.
01:11:26You witnessed one of the changes.
01:11:34That night.
01:11:35In the motel room in Maine.
01:11:39That's the last thing I remember.
01:11:43You do know that.
01:11:45Oh, you have to know that, Dan.
01:11:47Come on.
01:11:48You had to know it wasn't me.
01:11:49You must have known the difference.
01:11:50I know.
01:11:51I knew.
01:11:52I know.
01:11:53It wasn't you.
01:12:00Well, if there's more I can tell you.
01:12:04I'll tell you when you're ready to hear it.
01:12:08Right now.
01:12:11I just need to lay down for a while.
01:12:16Yeah, come on upstairs.
01:12:18Get some rest.
01:12:20Some people can do things that nobody ought to be able to do.
01:12:31I've been in it up to my neck.
01:12:34That's the end of it.
01:12:36I'll burn that damn necronomicon if I ever get my hands on it.
01:12:41Good.
01:12:44I'm thinking about writing again.
01:12:47It's about time.
01:12:48I'm glad to hear it.
01:12:50Maybe we can finally write our book.
01:12:53I know you'll help me.
01:12:56I know I can count on you if anything happens.
01:13:01Even if I have to tell you a lot of things that might shock you.
01:13:07Of course you can.
01:13:08I know you're out.
01:13:19I know you're out.
01:13:20And then you're out.
01:13:21I'm just about to hear it.
01:13:22You know I know.
01:13:22You are out.
01:13:22I know that we're out now.
01:13:23Yeah.
01:13:24I know you're out.
01:13:26What are you doing?
01:13:45Dan!
01:13:46I wouldn't...
01:13:47What's going on?
01:13:48You figure it out.
01:13:49Never.
01:13:50I swear.
01:13:51Edward, come on.
01:13:59I wouldn't hurt.
01:14:00Come on.
01:14:02I have to!
01:14:05I have to!
01:14:07I have to!
01:14:08LATER!
01:14:10LATER!
01:14:11LATER!
01:14:14LATER!
01:14:16LATER!
01:14:18LATER!
01:14:23But Edward had crossed a line now from which there was no return.
01:14:28It seemed as though he was no longer just a danger to himself.
01:14:32We were out of options.
01:14:48He's in the midst of a severe depression.
01:14:58Whatever his mental illness was before, I can't say.
01:15:02But I have my suspicions.
01:15:05Is he sleeping?
01:15:08Right now, he's just sitting and staring.
01:15:11Like he's listening for someone.
01:15:14And almost thinking misses her.
01:15:17In his own dysfunctional way, I'm sure he does.
01:15:21It came in bits and pieces.
01:15:24But as usual, none of them fit.
01:15:26He could not articulate any kind of lucid explanation for his behavior or his frame of mind.
01:15:32But I was grateful.
01:15:34Because if there was more to his madness than I was seeing, I didn't want to know.
01:15:40And yet I kept hoping that he would return to the fold.
01:15:45Over the next few weeks, I adopted a new regimen of unrequited visits.
01:15:50Unreciprocated calls.
01:15:52I couldn't get through.
01:15:54No.
01:15:55Not even after I finally tracked him down.
01:15:59George.
01:16:00Mr. Upton.
01:16:01Is he here?
01:16:02I'm sure of it.
01:16:03I saw a light go on in the basement.
01:16:05How long has he been doing this?
01:16:07He's had me drive him out quite a lot.
01:16:09Spends hours prowling around the house.
01:16:11Principally down cellar.
01:16:13Most of the time, I can't get him to come back with me.
01:16:16So essentially, he's still living here.
01:16:18More or less.
01:16:19We've had the house ready for him for weeks now.
01:16:21But he's invented every kind of excuse to postpone actually moving out of here.
01:16:25Why haven't you told me this before?
01:16:27It's not really my place.
01:16:29I figured Mr. Derby tells you what he wants you to know.
01:16:32And she hasn't been writing to him.
01:16:34There's no mail from Mrs. Derby.
01:16:39This is more like an extortion.
01:16:41I suppose.
01:16:43Edward!
01:16:44Edward has a light in here?
01:16:47Over here on the wall.
01:16:49At least tell that to the accountants if it's just not speculative.
01:16:52Jesus.
01:16:53Why don't you come here, Daniel?
01:16:57I asked George to help me find you.
01:16:58I was worried.
01:16:59I'm sorry Edward.
01:17:00Damn it.
01:17:01Please.
01:17:02You only knew.
01:17:03What did I know?
01:17:04I knew that Edward wasn't coming back.
01:17:06If I only knew, he said.
01:17:07I know I should have given up a long time ago.
01:17:10I knew Marion was right.
01:17:11I knew when I left that night I would probably never see him again.
01:17:13If I only knew.
01:17:14I know he must have been talking to himself because for all that he had claimed to have
01:17:19seen and suffered, I don't think Edward had any idea.
01:17:23You're going to keep doing that.
01:17:24I'm going to sleep.
01:17:25Sorry.
01:17:26Good night.
01:17:27You're going to keep doing that.
01:17:28I'm going to sleep.
01:17:33Good night.
01:17:35Good night.
01:17:39If you're going to keep doing that, I'm going to sleep.
01:17:47Sorry.
01:17:54Goodnight.
01:17:58Goodnight.
01:17:59Hello?
01:18:11Hello?
01:18:15I'm sorry, I can't hear you.
01:18:22Something's wrong on your end. Better hang up and try again.
01:18:25What was that?
01:18:30Well, I'm a number.
01:18:51Go back to sleep honey, it's just a Halloween break.
01:18:55It was last night, it's not Halloween anymore.
01:19:26Hello?
01:19:38Hello?
01:19:39Daniel?
01:19:40Van?
01:19:41Van?
01:19:42Van?
01:19:43Van?
01:19:44Van?
01:19:45Van?
01:19:46Van?
01:19:47Van?
01:19:48Van?
01:19:49Van?
01:19:50Van?
01:19:51Van?
01:19:52Van?
01:19:54Van?
01:19:59Van?
01:20:01Van?
01:20:02Van?
01:20:32Edward?
01:20:34Daniel?
01:20:36What the hell?
01:20:38It's him.
01:20:40What is he called?
01:20:42Did he read it?
01:20:44Yes, it's true.
01:20:46No, Daniel.
01:20:48I'll let you get through this.
01:20:50I promise you.
01:20:52It's going to get better.
01:20:54Dan, go and kill it.
01:21:10Exterminate it.
01:21:12It isn't Edward Derby anymore.
01:21:14It isn't Edward Derby anymore.
01:21:22She got me.
01:21:24Hasn't it?
01:21:30She has been dead this month and a half.
01:21:36I lied when I said that she'd gone away.
01:21:38I killed her.
01:21:40I killed her.
01:21:42Buried her in the cellar.
01:21:44Buried her in the cellar.
01:21:46Buried her in the cellar.
01:21:48Buried her in the cellar.
01:21:50Buried her in the cellar.
01:21:52The servants suspected the next morning,
01:21:54so I sent them off.
01:21:56It was alright for a while, but...
01:21:58then I felt that...
01:22:00that she'd gone away.
01:22:02I killed her.
01:22:04I killed her.
01:22:06Then I felt the...
01:22:08tugging at my brain.
01:22:14The tugging at my brain and my soul.
01:22:16I found myself choking...
01:22:18in the darkness and astinous rotting carcass.
01:22:20In spite of everything, I clawed my way out.
01:22:26Kill that fiend if you value the decent and comforts of this world.
01:22:30See that it is cremated.
01:22:34If you don't, it'll live on and on.
01:22:38Body to body for...
01:22:40Body to body forever.
01:22:42Forever.
01:22:44I can't tell you what it'll do.
01:22:46Keep clear of black magic, Dan.
01:22:50It's the devil's work.
01:22:54Goodbye, Dan.
01:22:56And a great friend.
01:22:58Tell the police whatever they'll believe.
01:23:00And I'm damnly sorry to drag you into this.
01:23:02I'll be at peace before long.
01:23:04I hope you can read this.
01:23:06And kill that thing.
01:23:08Kill it.
01:23:10The thing on the doorstep settled the questions.
01:23:12The ones that Edward couldn't and wouldn't answer.
01:23:16The gap between what we could until this moment understand and what was actually happening was filled.
01:23:26And the course of action was decided.
01:23:42Never gonna write that book, are we, Edward?
01:23:56Now isn't a good time, Upton.
01:24:00Edward.
01:24:04Can I even call you that?
01:24:10I know who you are.
01:24:16And I know what you've done.
01:24:20Know.
01:24:22You think you know.
01:24:24You have what they call faith.
01:24:28It turns out I don't have near enough of it.
01:24:32Not until too late.
01:24:34What have you seen?
01:24:36You haven't seen anything yet, Daniel.
01:24:38May I call you that?
01:24:42I've seen enough.
01:24:44Be careful.
01:24:46You don't want people to think you've lost your mind.
01:24:50You haven't lost your mind, have you?
01:24:54Yeah, maybe I have.
01:24:56Daniel Upton.
01:24:58You're a man of God.
01:25:00You can't shoot me.
01:25:02Yeah, you're probably right.
01:25:04Keeper and guardian, you are bound to Jesus Christ.
01:25:08Keeper?
01:25:10You who call yourself Keeper?
01:25:12Is Jesus Christ Lord?
01:25:14You cannot have this girl.
01:25:16No.
01:25:18No.
01:25:20No.
01:25:21No.
01:25:22No.
01:25:23No.
01:25:24No.
01:25:25No.
01:25:26No.
01:25:27No.
01:25:28No.
01:25:29No.
01:25:30No.
01:25:31No.
01:25:32No.
01:25:33No.
01:25:34No.
01:25:35No.
01:25:37No.
01:25:38No.
01:25:40No.
01:25:41No.
01:25:43No.
01:25:58Noice of Cristo murder is simple.
01:25:59No, no!
01:26:00No.
01:26:01No, no, no.
01:26:02No, no, no.
01:26:05Yes, yes, yes.
01:26:20What should be the outcome of these events?
01:26:35No madness of mine could account for all that I have seen, all that my wife has seen, or all that we know now.
01:26:52And I've been through enough to know that it isn't over.
01:26:56An evil such as I have dealt with can never be wiped out so easily.
01:27:00It's almost as if I feel it lurking just out of sight.
01:27:07And I find myself waiting, thinking that at any moment I could start again.
01:27:30Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:27:35This is such a beautiful word.
01:27:38The, of course you are, oh, oh, or I end up badly.
01:27:41Or is-
01:27:46To have people dancing too early?
