[wondrous music]
[Lucy] Come on. [laughs]
-[taps foot]
-I beat you, Tricia!
I win. [laughing]
I let you win, Lucy.
Oh, shh, you don't want
Jethro to shush us again.
Don't tease me, Tricia.
It'll spoil our
last days together.
Will you me, my little tulip?
Of course.
Why are you even
getting married?
Marcus is nice enough,
but he's so old.
27 is hardly ancient.
When you're in love,
age doesn't matter.
When you've grown up a tad
more, you'll understand.
Stuff of nonsense!
Besides, I'm never growing up.
Well, we all grow
up at some point.
I simply cannot
wait to move away.
From Applewood?
Why?
Well, I think this
place is frightful.
I've never liked it.
From the moment we moved here,
it's always felt so... peculiar.
"Peculiar"?
[tense suspenseful music]
So heavy.
So still.
Like there's something
always hanging in the air,
pushing me down.
[Lucy]
Well, I never wanna leave.
Never ever.
I wanna stay here
and never grow old
and never die.
[tense suspenseful music]
Let's come in and see
what's for dinner.
Yes, please, I do hope
it's something yummy.
[Lucy laughing]
[Tricia] Oh, Lucy, Lucy
slow down. [laughs]
[gentle suspenseful music]
[Kaitlynn's Mom]
How long has it been
since you heard from Daniel?
Two or three days.
I mean, that's not unusual
-when he's out on patrol.
-[Mom] Why did he sign up
for that second tour?
But he's coming home
in three months.
[Mom] And you'll be stuck
with that ridiculous
monstrosity of a hotel.
It is a bed and breakfast,
and we've already
signed the contract,
so Applewood House
is practical ours.
[Mom] Would it have
killed you to find something
a little closer to home?
Mom, you know very well
that owning that house
-is Danny's childhood dream.
-[Mom] You'll be stuck
with some decrepit
old Georgia mansion
that apparently means more
to you than your own mother.
It's like Daniel intentionally
put this wedge between us.
Look, you know that
that's not true.
[Mom] I
worry about you, Katie.
You were always such
a delicate child.
-Nightmares and--
-[Kaitlynn] That was a long time
-ago. I was just a kid.
-[doorbell rings]
-Look, there's somebody here.
-[Mom] Kaitlynn wait!
I'll talk to you later.
[Mom] Call me back.

-[Kaitlynn's Mom] Kaitlynn.
Kaitlynn, are you there?
Yeah.
[Mom] Why haven't
you returned my calls?
-Still in Dover, Mom.
-[Mom] I should be there
-with you.
-No, I just, I need to be alone.
-[Mom] Hey.
-Stop, okay?
[Mom] This is all too much
or you to deal with right now.f
-You know that.
-[phone beeps]
[phone rings]
-[phone beeps]
-What, Mom?
[Peggy] Oh? Ms. Harris?
Um.
Yes.
[Peggy] Hi, this is Peggy.
Peggy Alford, your
realtor from Springfield?
I was getting everything ready
for the closing next week,
and I realized I didn't have
ny of your banking information.a
Closing.
[Peggy] So, you and your husband
are still good for
the 18th, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, the 18th is fine.
[Peggy] Great.

[Danny cheers]
Oh, damn, that's cold!
Hey, come on.
The water's lovely.
I can't, Danny, I can't do this.
Sure you can, Kaitlynn,
you're braver than you think.

[Peggy] Hello, Ms. Harris.
[Kaitlynn] Hey, Peggy,
how are you this morning?
[Peggy] What can I do for you?
[Kaitlynn] So, I have a strange
question for you.
Never mind, I must
have been dreaming.
So, the rest of my stuff is
supposed to arrive later today.
What I'd really like to do
is get a few extra
pieces for the house.
You know, something fitting
-or appropriate.
-[Peggy] Oh, I can recommend
a perfect place.
Oh, okay, great.
[Peggy] There is an interesting
antique store in town,
and the owner, he's completely
obsessed with Applewood.
Over the years he's acquired
most of the house's antiques
-and whatnot.
-[Kaitlynn] That sounds perfect!
[Peggy] Don't get your hopes up.
He refuses to sell
anything from Applewood.
He keeps it in like a
special exhibit room.
Odd, but if you need to know
anything about that house,
Jedediah is your man.
[suspenseful music]
[door closes]
[Jedediah] And the soothsayer
woman sent unto him,
"Behold, thou knowest
what Saul hath done,
how he hath cut off those
that have familiar spirits,
and the wizards,
out of the land,
wherefore then layest
thou a snare for my life."
-And the soothsayer woman
-[door creaks]
said unto him,
"Behold, thou knowest
what Saul hath done,
how he hath cut off those
that have familiar spirits."
[stammering]
Hi, um, I was told you have
some of the original items
from Applewood.
[suspenseful music]
They're not for sale,
but you're welcome to look.
Okay. [chuckles nervously]
[suspenseful music]
[tense suspenseful music]
You, Kaitlynn Harris, the
new owner of Applewood House.
Hmm.
[tense suspenseful music]
Mom would have a field
day if she saw me now.
[exhales]
[chain clinking]
[suspenseful music]
-[indistinct chatter]
-[guns booming]
[Danny] Kaitlynn!
-[Kaitlynn cries]
-[suspenseful music]
[soft suspenseful music]
Just upstairs.
[soft suspenseful music]
Ow! Shit!
[Man] Are you okay?
This is a-- a big house
for just one person.
[page flips]
[soft suspenseful music]
Well, good luck then.
[Kaitlynn] Thanks.
[soft suspenseful music]
[tense suspenseful music]
[chain clinks]
[Marcus] I'm the
one who tells you
what you will and won't have.

Why Applewood? Why now?
My husband always
loved the house.
[Jedediah]
But he's dead, isn't he?
You know, it was always
Danny's dream to buy Applewood
and to turn it into
a bed and breakfast.
So, now it's my dream.
Cash or card.
[door closes]
[phone ringing]
[Kaitlynn's Mom] You get
the plane ticket I sent?
-Yes.
-[Mom] Yes, what?
Yes, I'm still in Georgia,
yes, I got the plane ticket,
and yes, I mailed it
right back to you.
[Mom] Okay then
I'll just fly down there.
What's going on?
-Why you being so cruel?
-Mom, I just--
[Mom] Katie, don't
forget what happened before.
-You are weak.
-[phone beeps]
[phone chimes]
Mom, I'm fine.
-[trunk opens]
-[box clatters]
[phone beeps]
[melancholic music]

-[Peggy] Hey, Kaitlin.
-Hey, Peggy.
I have a weird question for you.
Do you know if somebody called
Lucy from here at Applewood?
[Peggy] Lucy Applewood,
she was the youngest
Applewood daughter.
[Kaitlynn] The Applewoods
who built this place?
[Peggy] Yes, Sir Charles
Applewood, 1890-something.
Did Lucy ever marry?
[Peggy] No, but her sister did.
Are you sure?
[Peggy] Lucy was only
15 when she ran away.
[Kaitlynn] Ran away, why?
[Peggy] No one knows for sure.
Rumors, usual gossip.
She was never heard of again.
Is there one about her
haunting Applewood?
[Peggy] Oh, please.
You're not listening to the
small town dribble, are you?
I don't know,
Peggy, there's just,
there's something
about this house.
It's-- It's like an energy
or it's like it's
something in the air.
[Peggy] People around here
say every old house is haunted
the second a floorboard
creeks or a window blows open.
Lucy?
[bottle clinking]
-[Peggy] Are you okay?
-I'll call you back.
[soft suspenseful music]
[soft suspenseful
music continues]
[soft suspenseful

[glove crunching]
[cap pops]
[tense suspenseful music]
[Marcus] There you are.
I found you.
Marcus, please,
you must stop this.
I don't like this game anymore.
[Marcus shushing]
You belong to me now.
What?
No.
[dramatic suspenseful music]
[Kaitlynn] Oh my God.
-[dramatic suspenseful music]
-[Kaitlynn winces]
Oh my God, this
can't be happening.
[Kaitlynn whimpers and screams]
-Just get it off, please.
-[Jedediah groans]
[Kaitlynn whimpers]
[saw whirring]
[Peggy] The closest Dr.
was in a Augusta.
I knew Jedediah would have
the tools to cut that off.
[Kaitlynn] Mmm-hmm.
[Peggy] I don't blame you for
wanting to try it on.
It's gorgeous!
This ring is brand new;
there is no way
it's been sitting in the
dirt under a bench
for 100 years.
Ms. Harris is ready to go home.
[Peggy] Okay.
Thank you.
Souvenir?
No. [exhales]
I'll take care of the ring.
[gloves crunching]
Okay.
[paper crunching]
Right.
[paper crunching]
-[eerie suspenseful music]
-[pages flipping]
[gloves swooshing]
-[tense suspenseful music]
-[energy fizzling]
There you are! Marcus
is looking for you.
Don't you want him to find you?
-[both giggle]
-You're getting old.
Married life doesn't
seem to suit you, Tricia.
It's not what I expected.
I love having you here,
but you don't seen
yourself lately.
-Lucy, I just--
-[Marcus] Hey!
Tricia?
Where in God's
name have you been?
I've been searching for you.
-I, I'm sorry, Marcus.
-[Marcus] Do not speak
across me.
We spoke about this, didn't we?
Lucy, how are you
this evening, dear?
Are you angry with
Patricia, Marcus?
[Marcus]
No, no, of course not.
I was just worried, is all.
Worried she may
have gotten lost.
[suspenseful music]
Mmm.
You're a sweet child.
[suspenseful music]
Why did you decide to sell me
those things from Applewood?
I thought you'd
take care of them.
Why is that even
important to you?
Applewood is important to me.
But why? I mean, have you
spent any time there?
I mean...
Yes, over the years.
I even tried to
help some of the owners.
Those who could let me.
Help them with-- with what?
Have you seen any ghosts
while you were there?
No ghosts walk at Applewood.
But is it dangerous?
[Jedediah]
I don't believe so.
But Applewood ain't never had
no one like you living in it.
Like me, what does it mean?
Someone sensitive
to such things.
[Kaitlynn] How do you know
what's going on there?
Because I died there,
I guess, it's nine
or 10 years ago now.
An older couple had
purchased Applewood
and we were having
trouble settling it.
I had gone over
to pray with them
and they were upstairs
looking for something
or another for me to look at.
And I had a brain
aneurysm right there. [snaps]
Quick as you please, I
couldn't speak or move.
I could feel my life
just slipping away.
Then she came to me.
[Kaitlynn] Lucy?
While I was lying there dying,
that little girl knelt down
and held my hand
and prayed for me.
She spoke with me, comforted me
until the couple
finally came downstairs
and saw me lying there on
their fancy new carpet.
My point is, Lucy's
hand felt like this;
warm, living, not cold.
It wasn't the hand
of a dead thing.
It was the hand of a living,
breathing person,
not a ghost.
Hmm.
Lucy is stuck in that house.
She's been alone
there over 100 years.
Can you imagine what that
must do to a person's mind?
I could feel how scared she was,
how alone she was.
She was trying to keep me alive.
Give me some of her energy,
her life force maybe.
[melancholic music]
If it wasn't for her,
I would've died long
before the paramedics got there.
I know that.
Just as sure as I know
there's a God in heaven.
For six full minutes I was cold,
but Jesus sent me back.
I can feel His
presence all around me.
He had a purpose
for me, you see.
I gotta keep an eye
on Applewood House
to protect it,
to protect Lucy
until she's set free.
"Free"? Hmm?
Free from what?
I think time's been
broken or bruised
or something over there.
Maybe the land the house
was built on was sour,
or it's on one of them
land lines, I don't know,
instead of a thick sturdy wall
time's worn real thin there,
the membrane between our
time and Lucy's time.
I don't know how or why, but
that poor little girl is alive
and she's trapped
between then and now
and can't get
loose from neither.
You! You've been sent
here to help her.
-Me? I--
-[Jedediah] I can feel it!
Tell me you don't feel it too.
[Kaitlynn] I mean, this is...
It's my chance of
atonement, I guess,
for the sins of my forefathers.
Sins? What sins, what
are you talking about?
You came here today
asking questions
and I gave you answers.
Now, why don't you tell
me why you are asking?
[soft suspenseful music]
So,
something happens when
I touch certain things
from the house.
What things?
[Kaitlynn] Old things.
Things from upwards history.
It's like I kind
of see the memory.
[suspenseful music]
It, no, this, I'm
sorry, this sounds nuts.
I sound as crazy as you do. I--
-I'm sorry.
-Wait, wait.
Wait!
[door slams]
[Peggy]
I love this place.
I have been coming
here for years.
Question for you.
Hmm.
What do you think
about Jedediah?
-Is he a little---
-Touched?
Absolutely, yes.
Nutty as a fruitcake.
Maybe he understands
things better than we do.
Just expresses them differently.
Kaitlynn, I would take
anything Jedediah says
with a huge mountain
sized grain of salt.
I have a present for you.
What?
Peggy!
You shouldn't have.
It-- It's lovely. I, uh--
Why? [chuckles]
Just feels like
it's been a while
since someone's done
something nice for you.
Try in on.
[indistinct]
[tense suspenseful music]
[Marcus] It'd be fun to pretend
that we were married,
wouldn't it, Lucy?
It is just a little
game after all.
But your sister, she
can get a bit jealous,
so, it must be
our little secret.
Hello?
Earth to Kaitlynn!
That came from Applewood.
[Peggy] Yes,
Jedediah suggested it.
I'm frankly surprised
he let me buy it.
It just reminds
me, uh, Danny had one.
It was just like it.
No, no, no, no, it's
lovely, thank you.
It's just, really,
though, I love it.
Thank you.
It's beautiful.
[both giggle]
Oh, thank you.
[Peggy]
So, are you still planning on
coming over tomorrow?
I wouldn't miss it.
-[crickets chirping]
-[tense suspenseful music]
[gloves swooshing]
[tense suspenseful music]
-[door closes]
-[lock clicks]
Are you not coming
to my party, Lucy?
Don't you wanna
celebrate my new wealth?
Stay away from me,
Marcus, I won't have it.
Don't be a silly little girl.
You'll get yourself killed.
I'd rather die than
have you touch me again.
Never!
[Lucy gasps]
Get away from me or
I'm telling Father!
You gonna tell him what, Lucy?
Hmm?
You gonna tell him what?
[stammers] You...
kissed me and...
-the other things.
-Oh?
You are even more
ridiculous than your sister,
you know that?
My ridiculous sister?
You mean your ridiculous wife
who doesn't even know
what a beast she married?
And who is going to
believe the lies,
fancy full imagination
of a snotty little
14-year-old brat, hmm?
Your sister already thinks
you are a liar and a whore,
and now you would break
your father's heart,
whilst he mourns his wife?
You are cold, Lucille.
Mother would've believed me.
-[Lucy whimpers]
-[tense music]
[Marcus]
You ever say her name again,
I'll throw you out this
goddamn window, you hear me?
This is my house now!
[Kaitlynn] Say something!
Scream!
[Marcus]
Nonsense, are you saying,
-stupid child.
-Help me!
Shut your mouth you
ungrateful brat.
Help, help me, help me!
-[tense suspenseful music]
-[Kaitlynn panting]
Peggy, thank God it's you.
[Peggy] What?
What the hell were you thinking?
Wait, what did you see, Peggy?
What did you hear?
I don't know, I just walked in,
and I heard voices
and there you were.
Wait, what voices?
[Peggy] You! Who else?
I walked in and you act
like I wasn't even here.
Are you trying to kill yourself?
What?
No, never.
I wouldn't do that.
Maybe you should call your mom.
No.
[Peggy] Just for a while, just
until you sort things out.
No.
Besides my mom would
have me committed.
And I'm not crazy and I'm
not trying to kill myself.
What are you doing?
Helping you up.
[tense suspenseful music]
[intense musical sting]
[thunder roaring]
[tense suspenseful music]
[doorbell rings]
[tense suspenseful music]
[door opens]
It's called psychometry.
Your condition.
your gift, it's
called psychometry.
-[thunder rumbling]
-[rain pattering]
I haven't been in the
house since...
the aneurysm.
I'm sorry.
[thunder rumbling]
I can feel Lucy.
I know.
I can too.
What happened to
Patricia and Lucy?
Patricia Applewood got married.
And Lucy ran away?
What do you know, Jedediah?
[Jedediah] Not much.
Family rumors.
[rain pattering]
I'm beginning to
understand it now.
Maybe even control it a little.
I have a sense of what
items will speak to me.
A person who has
psychometric abilities
can hold something
like this glass
and can sense the history of it,
who owned it,
even the experiences
that person had.
And they may even
be able to sense
what that person was like.
What they did,
or how they died.
It is often brought
on by trauma.
So, you think Danny's death
could have triggered this?
Yes. Um--
Perhaps compounded by
being in this place.
Bad things have happened here.
It-- It's more than that.
So, when I touch certain things,
I'm there.
Back then, the moments
are happening to me.
Look, while I was there.
Who are you when you're there?
Lucy.
I'm Lucy.
[Jedediah] Dear Lord.
It's not safe for
you to be here.
Well, I'm not going anywhere.
You need to listen!
You being Lucy isn't safe.
[Kaitlynn] What is that--
[Peggy] Are you just gonna sit
there in the Twilight Zone
or are you gonna help
me with these groceries?
[Kaitlynn] Yes. Um-- [chuckles]
All right.
You done?
Thanks.
[Patricia's Mom] Are
you still unwell?
[tense suspenseful music]
[energy throbbing]
[Marcus] Be able to find
one of a whole cheaper.
The property is going
to be more expensive.
I won't lie to you, but
you're gonna save costs off--
You didn't eat
very much, my dear.
Are you still unwell?
It's just her naturally
weak disposition.
She's fine. Mrs. Applewood.
[Elizabeth] Patricia's
constitution has always been
-exceptional.
-Excuse me, but I--
Dammit, girl.
How many times--
Get your hands off me!
[fist slams]
How dare you lay your
filthy hands on me?
[Elizabeth]
Mr. Thigpen! Enough!
I must remind you that Jethro
Blanchard is a well valued,
long time employee
of this household.
And I would ask that you treat
him with some respect, sir.
[tense suspenseful music]
Excuse me, Jethro,
I'm meant no offense.
[Charles clears throat]
Uh, so tell me a bit
more about your plan.
Labor is gonna be much
cheaper down in Savannah.
You will--
Charles, can we talk
about this later?
Of course, my dear, yes.
Your quite right.
-[suspenseful music]
-[energy fizzling]
[Peggy] Are you okay?
You blanked out there.
I saw someone who
looked just like you.
I should go.
It's late.
Tell me about Jethro.
He was a bad man.
His actions ruined my family.
[Kaitlynn] What did he do?
He deserved what he got.
Thank you for the
dinner and the company.
It's been a while since
I've enjoyed myself so much.
Goodnight.
-[Kaitlynn] Do you have to--
-I can find my own way.
Peggy.
Goodnight, Jededia.
[door closes]
Do you know what happened
with his grandfather?
His name was Jethro Blanchard.
He was the head butler
here at Applewood house.
I had no idea.
What about Marcus Thigpen?
Wow.
You have been
doing some digging.
Marcus Thigpen married the
oldest Applewood daughter,
Patricia, became
head of household
after Charles Applewood died.
It's odd.
Everything about this is odd.
Kaitlynn, maybe you
should get some help
with these blackouts.
I'm fine!
Besides, they're not blackouts.
What are they then?
[soft melancholic music]
They're visions.
Do you hear how that sounds?
[Kaitlynn]
Peggy, when I touched that plate
somehow I was transported
back in time, okay?
I became Lucy Applewood.
All right, it happened,
remember when I was
up on the windowsill
and you pulled me back in
-and you said that was--
-Kaitlynn, stop!
Stop.
You've been under a
lot of pressure lately.
That's not--
-You tried to hurt yourself!
-[Kaitlynn] Can you just
calm down? Calm down,
you're overreacting.
[Peggy]
Don't tell me to calm down!
-Okay, I'm fine.
-[Peggy] You're not fine!
You need help.
Professional help.
Then maybe you should just go.
Fine.
[soft melancholic music]
Wait, Peggy, just--

Kaitlynn, Kaitlynn.
-[tense suspenseful music]
-[energy fizzling]
Lucy, you haven't seemed
yourself these past few weeks.
Come now, my dear,
you know, you can tell
your mother anything.
What do you want?
[Marcus] Gimme
the necklace, now!
When I step forward.
I want you to run to the
house as fast as you can.
No.
-[knife slashes]
-[Marcus grunts]
Run, run, run!
-[knife slashes]
-[blood squelching]
[Lucy's mom groaning
and whimpering]
This is what you deserve.
-[energy fizzling]
-[suspenseful music]
[Kaitlynn panting]
-[tense suspenseful music]
-[Kaitlynn pants and whimpers]
Can you come to
the house, please?
I'm in the attic.
I'm hurt, it's really bad.
[phone taps]
It's really bad.
[body thuds]
[tense suspenseful music]
-[engine roars]
-[tires crunching]
[Peggy]
Hold on, Kaitlynn.
We're nearly there.
What happened?
How did Lucy's mother die?
Please, stop it.
She was stabbed
right in front of me.
I saw this man steal
her diamond necklace.
Is that how she died, Peggy?
Elizabeth Applewood was killed
by a thief on the
grounds of the house.
I saw it happen, Peggy.
I saw it.
Lucy. She--
She sacrificed yourself
to help me get away.
Not you, Kaitlynn! Not you.
Please, stop this.
How else would I have
known that, Peggy?
[Peggy] I don't know, maybe
you read it somewhere.
[horn honks]
[energy fizzling]
[fire cracking]
[soft suspenseful music]
I am just not sure, Marcus.
It's merely and offer
of help, Charles.
I can see how much poor
Elizabeth's passing
weighs on you with each day.
I have lost people too.
I know the pit in your stomach,
burning your chest.
[glass taps]
[soft suspenseful music]
Giving me temporary
power of attorney
just means that... I can
oversee the business.
Oversee the running
of the household,
so that you can take
the time that you need
to grieve properly.
[soft suspenseful music]
Soon as you feel up to it,
we can rescind the
agreement, Charles.
I appreciate everything you do.
[Marcus] I just wanna do what I
can to support you, okay?
You have been like
a father to me.
[soft suspenseful music]
And you've been a son to me.

Mr. Marcus.
I appreciate you keeping
me informed, Nancy.
I don't care for these people.
All their money and power...
it isn't fair.
[Marcus] It isn't.
They have earned none
of this, have they?
Privileged, bought and paid for
off the backs of
people like you, Nancy,
off the backs of people like us.
I come from nothing.
I had nothing.
I clawed my way out of the mud.
Everything I am today
came from these hands;
my own sweat and blood.
But these people,
they come here and
they take everything,
everything from people like us
and they give nothing back.
You are hurting me, Mr. Marcus.
[Marcus] Am I?
I'll express my gratitude
once all this is done, dear.
Run along now.
[tense suspenseful music]
[Lucy] Jethro?
Jethro!
[footsteps tapping]
Marcus and daddy didn't
go out hunting today?
No, Lucy, your daddy
wasn't feeling too well
this morning
and Mr. Marcus went for a ride
and your daddy went for
a walk to clear his head.
Will you come with me
to find him... please?
[tense suspenseful music]
-Father?
-[Jethro grunts]
-Mr. Applewood!
-Father!
Are you here?
-[tense suspenseful music]
-[Lucy crying]
Oh my God.
No!
No.
[soft suspenseful music]
[soft suspenseful

Um. Bathroom.
[soft suspenseful music]
[Doctor] Ms. Harris is
a 10-13 certificate.
An involuntary hold order.
Mom!
As a state-appointed
medical advisor,
I've determined that in
your current state of mind,
present a clear and
present danger to yourself.
[Kaitlynn] What?!
[Doctor]
After your mother's testimony
about your phone conversation
and Ms. Alfred's
specific testimony
about the events at your house.
I'm keeping you here for a
full psychiatric evaluation.
No, that's not, no.
Don't you touch me.
I told you, Honey,
you are just not well
enough to be left alone.
Stop. This is not, this
is not okay, Mom!
Peggy! Peggy! Don't
let them do this!
Peggy, I trusted you!
Peggy!
Peggy!
Peggy!
[footsteps tapping]
[Mom] The nurse took some of the
things out for your safety,
but most of what
you wanted is here.
This is for the best!
I know it's unpleasant,
but as soon as they
finish the evaluation,
you'll be able to
come home with me
and I'll look after you.
Just like before, Katie.
[Kaitlynn] I never liked you
calling me that:
"Katie".
You used it like a weapon.
My name... is Kaitlynn.
[door closes]
[tense suspenseful music]
[Orderly] She's right here.
You got 10 minutes.
I'll come get you when
your time is done.
[indistinct chatter]
You shouldn't be here.
You're not crazy.
[Kaitlynn] You and I are the
only two who think so.
My grandfather did
a terrible thing.
Lucy ran away because,
because, my grandfather, um...
had relations with her.
[tense suspenseful music]
Marcus, well, he
caught them together
and shot my granddaddy dead.
That was the only good thing
that bastard Thigpen ever did!
[tense suspenseful music]
I never told anyone that before.
None of us in the
family speak of it.
We promised each other.
I feel like it's my
fault you're here.
Hey.
I was afraid to tell you,
afraid of what you'd think of me
and of Lucy.
I don't believe
that that's true.
It is.
I can prove it, but I have
to go back there again
and I can't do that
if I'm stuck here.
[tense suspenseful music]
[Orderly]
Sir, ten minutes are up.
[tense suspenseful music]
[tense suspenseful
music continues]
[soft melancholic music]
Passed your evaluation
with flying colors
and after I filed that
statement from Ms. Alford
that her information had been
manipulated by your mother.
-I guess she does that.
-[lawyer sighs]
That imbecile of a doctor,
he was in panic mode.
He knew he screwed up.
He just wanted to
avoid a lawsuit.
Really, I'm just glad
to be out of there.
Are you sure you
don't wanna litigate?
I'd happily do it
for you pro bono.
Use that money for that
fixer upper of yours.
No, I really, I think
I just need a ride.
There's someone
here to take you.
Maybe just listen.
She has a solid story
and as an attorney, you know
I don't say that lightly.
Okay.
Thank you.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[door closes]
[car swooshing]
I am sorry. I was wrong.
I'm not crazy.
You should have trusted me.
I just thought your
mom could help you
better than I could.
The only person my mom
ever helps is herself.
I was worried something
would happen to you
and I freaked out.
She was only 22.
-Your--
-Daughter.
Depression, anxiety...
I tried to help, I just
didn't understand it.
[soft melancholic music]
[soft melancholic
music continues]
Do you want me to come with you?
No, I got this.
I'm braver than you think.
[door opens]
[door closes]
-[engine revving]
-[door closes]
Katie. Kaitlynn.
I don't think you
should go back in there.
I don't need your
"help" anymore, Mom.
Oh, how can you speak
to me like this?
I just wanted to
get you back home
where I can look after you.
See, that's just it, Mom.
My home isn't with
you anymore.
Okay? It's here.
It's wherever else I
decide to go after this.
I know that you do love me,
but that doesn't
give you any right
to abuse that love...
or me.
I need you to leave now, Mom.

[Peggy] Marlene Roberts,
head housekeeper,
Nancy Hardwick, housemaid.
-Albert Groomsby, valet.
-Jethro Blanchard,
head butler.
My granddaddy.
He was only 38 when,
When Marcus killed him.
Marcus murdered
Charles Applewood,
poisoned him.
[Peggy] Marcus Thigpen was a
respected businessman--
[Jedediah] That didn't sound
like a question.
I saw him do it.
[Jedediah]
While you were Lucy?
Yes.
I trust you, but,
please, not this again.
I think Marcus was involved
in Elizabeth's death as well.
A murderer is not exactly
a reliable witness,
and he's the only
one who ever said
that your grandfather
was having an affair
with a 15-year-old girl.
Delphia Blanchard.
Wife?
Wife. My grandmother.
[Peggy] Check.
A month after her
husband's final paycheck
for 10 times the usual amount.
For her silence.
Back then, a scandal like
that could ruin a family,
even a family as rich
as the Applewoods.
I have to go back there.
You can't do that.
Don't you see how
important this is?
It's not just
about Lucy anymore.
Your grandfather, Charles
and Elizabeth Applewood...
Terrible things
have happened here!
You don't know that.
I do know that.
I know it because I've seen it.
Okay, and you're right,
I am the only one who
can make this right.
-Just stop it!
-[hands slap table]
Both of you!
-It's ridiculous.
-[Kaitlynn] Peggy, Peggy,
I know how this sounds, okay,
but this is the only way to
find out the whole truth.
[Peggy]
I have never heard such a--
[tense suspenseful music]
That... was Lucy.
[tense suspenseful music]
I know.
Be careful, please.
I'll come back.
I promise.
[Peggy]
How do you know you will?
Because of you, Peggy.
You saved me last time.

Now, now Lucy, that any
way to treat your husband,
snooping in his room,
stealing his things?
[Jethro] Stop, Mr. Marcus.
[soft suspenseful music]
Lucy, you hurt?
[Lucy gasping]
This ain't none of
your business, Jethro.
I told you your services
are no longer required here.
Now you just put the gun down
and get outta here
before you do something
I make you regret.
I can't let you be
messing with Miss Lucy.
It ain't right, and
I won't have it!
You "won't have it"?
You "won't have it"?
You are nothing.
While I am the one who
tells you what you will
and won't "have".

[sobbing] Marcus, please!
-[energy fizzling]
-[knife clatters]
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It's not what you think.
It's not what you
think. It was Marcus!
-It was Marcus!
-[Peggy] Kaitlynn.
[upbeat suspenseful music]
Here! It's right here.
I finally understand what
I was sent here to do.
[energy fizzling]
[Lucy] Marcus, please!
Please, don't,
please.

[energy fizzling]
[Jethro sobs]
Wait, are are you an angel?
If I were I'd make this right.
[melancholic music]
Is Lucy safe?
Yes.
Because of you,
Marcus cannot hurt her.
[melancholic music]
[Jethro breathing heavily]
I-- I know you.
[melancholic music]
Look at you.
Son of my son.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I wish I could save you. [sobs]
You-- you already have.
[Jethro breathing heavily]
[melancholic music]
[energy fizzling]
[Marcus panting]
Lucy?
[energy fizzling]
[Tricia] Marcus!
Marcus, what is it?
I'm afraid it's the worst thing
that could possibly
have happened.
I came downstairs, I caught
Jethro with your sister.
-[Tricia] You don't mean--
-[Marcus] I'm afraid so.
And she was willing.
I don't believe it!
It's true!
Saw them together
a few days ago,
sneaking off together
just before poor Mr.
Applewood was found.
Where is she?
I discovered them together.
She ran off into the woods.
Coward he was, he
tried to run too,
but I chased him out here
and I finished the job.
But Jethro had a family;
a young wife and baby!
-I--
-Go back inside.
Now.
Go!
-[tense suspenseful music]
-[energy fizzling]
[Kaitlynn] There has to be a
way to fix this.
What can we do?
We can't change the past.
Well, if we don't do something,
then Lucy's destined to spend
the rest of her existence
trapped in this house forever.
Okay, we saved her from Marcus.
But at what cost?
Somehow I pulled
her out of 1890,
but then she was frozen
here in this place
until I buy the
house a month ago.
Figure out how to save
her, then pull her back out
of her life and
back into this loop.
[Peggy] I literally have zero
idea what you're saying
right now.
What I'm saying is,
I said, this poor
girl is destined
to repeat these events
over and over again
in an endless loop.
It's like some kind of a--
[Jedediah] Purgatory.
We haven't saved her.
Just exchanged one
misery for another.
It's gonna be okay.
I know you've been a lot.
[tense suspenseful music]
Will you come back with me?
We have one last
thing we have to do.
[soft suspenseful music]
[fire crackling]
[Marcus] Giving me temporary
power of attorney
just means that I can
oversee the business,
oversee the running
of the household,
so that you can take the time
that you need to
grieve properly.
As soon as you feel up to it,
we can rescind the
agreement, Charles,
[Charles] I appreciate
everything you do.
I just wanna do what I
can to support you, okay?
You have been like
a father to me.
And you've been a son to me.

I had to come.
I'm dying?
[Kaitlynn sobs]
It's okay.
It's okay.
How else could you be here?
[indistinct]
I just didn't want
you to be alone.
I love you so much.
