- Get everything packed?
- Ellie, Elle!
Hey, you all right?
- Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
- Are you sure you don't want me
to come with you?
- I'm sure, I just feel bad.
I'm not saying bye to Samantha before I go.
- She's gonna be fine.
- But I'm the one that always
takes her to school and everything.
- Ellie, Ellie, she's gonna be okay.
We're gonna be okay, all right?
It's just a couple days.
Come here, come here.
- Jacob.
- Yeah?
- Do you think even some bad people get into heaven?
- I don't know.
I think, I think maybe even some bad people
are good in some ways.
(dramatic orchestral music)
- Don't order pizza every night.
Okay?
- No promises.
- (chuckling) I'll text you when I get there.
- Okay.
Hey, Elle?
- Yeah?
- Please be safe.
Okay?
- Okay, I will.
Love you.
- Love you too.

- I remember this time,
it was like third grade or something.
I was the butterfly in the school play,
and I stayed up all night making these little wings
out of wire hangers and newspapers and stuff.
I'll never forget you smiling
while I was dancing and
flapping my little wings on stage.
I remember waving at you
and you just looked right past me.
You weren't even watching me.
The whole time I thought you were smiling at me,
but you weren't.
Probably watching red-nosed Rachel.
She got to be the beautiful flower
that grew outta the garden.
She always got the best parts.
I don't think I ever saw you happy.
You know?
Ever since dad died,
you became a shell of a person.
And boy, did you make sure to make me
just as miserable as you.
And I hated you for doing that to me.
I hated you for that.
(sighing) It doesn't matter now.
What does matter is I will never,
ever treat my daughter the way that you treated me.
She will always know what it feels like to be loved.
(sighing) Until we meet again, wherever that might be.
(dramatic orchestral music continues)
(keys jingling)
- Hi, can I help you?
- Oh, hey, how are you?
I'm sorry.
I'm John.
Stewart couldn't make it,
so he sent me over here to give you these.
- Okay, great.
- Yep.
And this is yours too.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Wait.
- Everything okay?
- I'm missing paperwork.
The title and the deed to the house should be in here,
but I'm not seeing it.
- Oh, Stewart said you'd probably have to go back
up to the office and sign some more stuff
before everything was finalized.
- What?
No, that's not what we discussed at all.
I have the realtor coming
to put the house on the market the day after tomorrow.
- I, I understand.
These things can take time.
You know, I, I'll let Stewart know you're in a rush.
- Let him know?
He already knows.
And I'm not in a rush.
It's just that I specifically based my plans
around what he told me.
(sighing) You know what?
- He's in a meeting.
(line ringing)
- [Stewart] Hi, you've reached Stewart-
- He's in a meeting.
- [Stewart] Please leave your name and number.
- (sighing) Of course.
He didn't say anything
about how long it would take or anything?
- No, no, he didn't.
- I mean, are you sure
it didn't fall out of the folder
in your car or something?
- I'm, I'm sure that's everything.
But listen, I'm heading back to the office now.
I'll see Stewart before the end of the day
and I'll make sure he calls you.
- I mean, what choice do I have?
- Right.
Listen, I know this is tough on you,
it's tough on your family,
and I assure you,
we wanna make this as, as easy as possible for you guys.
- I appreciate it.
- Yep, no problem.
I'll let Stewart know the moment I see him.
- All right, thanks.

But why, Mom? - Because I said so.
That's why.
- [Ellie] But everyone else is going, this isn't fair.
- [Mom] No one told you life is going to be fair.
Do you think my life is fair?
You're just a spoiled little brat.
(dramatic orchestral music)

- Really?

(Ellie sighing)
(Ellie blowing raspberry)
Hi, name's Ellie Keres.
K-E-R-E-S.
So you guys must have cut off the electric here early.
It's supposed to be on for another week,
but I've got nothing.
(sighing) Okay.
(ominous orchestral music)
Yeah, yeah.
I'm here.
Sorry.
Well, it's not.
Let me go check.
Hold on for me real quick.
(door clicking)
(ominous orchestral music continues)
(switch clicking)
Oh, it's working now.
No, that's all.
Thanks.
(ominous orchestral music continues)
Yeah, well, it's already almost five o'clock.
- Is it?
Jesus.
- Yeah.
You probably should get in touch with him
before it gets too late.
- Yeah, I will.
Let me talk to Sam real quick.
- Okay.
Sammy, say hi to your mommy.
- Hi, Mommy.
- Hi, baby.
How was school?
- You didn't pick me up.
- No, I know.
I'm sorry.
Daddy's gonna have to come get you for a couple days.
- He went in the wrong car line.
- He did?
- [Jacob] No, it wasn't the wrong car line.
It was just a different car line.
- Well, Daddy's still learning.
I can't wait to see you again
and get that big Sammy hug.
- Me Too.
I love you, Mommy.
- I love you too, Sammy.
Bye.
- Bye.
- [Stewart] Hi, you've reached Stewart Mitchell
with J&R-

(Ellie grunting)
(Ellie grunting)
(Ellie gasping)
- Ew.
(ominous orchestral music)
(phone buzzing)
- Hey, what'd he say?
- He didn't answer, but listen,
I found this box in the attic,
and it looks really, really old.
- What's in it?
- I don't know.
It's like sealed shut with like wax or something.
- Is it your mom's?
- I mean, yeah, it's in her attic,
but I've never seen it before.
- Hey, what if it's full of money or something?
- Do you think I should open it?
- I mean, what, what do you think?
- I don't know. (sighing)
- Call Rick.
Maybe he knows something.
- Ugh, I don't wanna call Rick.
(phone ringing)
- Yeah?
- Hey Uncle Rick, it's Ellie.
- Well, well, it's been a while, Ellie.
- Yeah, I know.
I've been really busy lately.
- Hmm.
- So I'm at Mom's house right now
and I found this wooden box in the attic.
It's really old and it has like wax or something on it.
I was wondering if you knew anything about it.
- Nope.
- So you don't remember seeing a box like that at all?
- [Rick] No.
- Hmm.
Okay.
So how have you been?
- What do you care?
- God, why do you have to be such a dick all the time?
- Bitch.
(box thudding) (ominous orchestral music)
(Ellie sighing)
(ominous orchestral music continues)
(knuckles rapping)
- Oh, hey, Theresa.
- Hey.
I saw your car here.
Just wanted to stop by and offer my condolences.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Your mom was one of the kindest people.
- Thank you.
- I didn't see you at the funeral.
- Yeah, I, I was busy.
I couldn't make it.
I really wish I could have been there.
- Hmm.
You planning on selling the house?
- Yeah.
I'm actually meeting with a realtor this week.
- Oh, hmm.
- Hey, you know my mom really well, didn't you?
- Oh yes.
- Did she ever mention like a box?
It's like this wooden box with melt-
- Melted candle wax.
Yeah.
- Yeah.
You know about it.
- I do.
- Do you know what it is?
- Do you mind if I come in?
It's awfully hot out here.
- Not at all.
Come in.
Come in.
(dramatic orchestral music)
(door clicking)
- This box was very important to your mom.
It belonged to her mother
and had been passed down
through several generations.
Each generation put something inside this box,
including your mom.
- What did she put in there?
- She never told me.
She never told anyone,
but I do know this.
Its contents are very special
and very valuable. (chuckling)
- Why wouldn't she tell me about it?
- Well, she did mention a few things in passing,
but I'd rather not get into that.
- What do you mean?
- You and your mom didn't have the best relationship.
I hate to say this,
but she didn't really trust you with this box.
And I guess she never found the right time to tell you.
- Why wouldn't she trust me with it?
I'm her own daughter.
- Because this box is never supposed to opened
except when adding something to it.
That's very important.
And also nothing can ever be removed from this box.
It was important to your mom.
She didn't want it to fall into the wrong hands.
So you see it comes with a lot of responsibility
and some people just can't handle that.
I hope I haven't caused you any distress
by telling you this,
certainly wasn't my reason for coming here.
- No, no.
I know.
- Well, I should be on my way.
It's getting late.
- All right, I'll show you out.
It was nice to see you.
- [Teresa] You too.
(dramatic orchestral music)
(door clicking)
(fingers tapping)
(ominous orchestral music)
- Did you get the video?
- Yeah, I saw it.
So you're saying it does that to all the lights?
- Yes, I've done it to every light in the house.
And it does this weird thing to digital clocks too.
It makes the numbers go like crazy or something.
- Yeah, that's weird.
- I know.
- And now I really want to know what's in there.
- You think I should do it.
- After everything she said, you still wanna do it?
- Wouldn't you?
- Yeah, but that's besides the point.
It's not mine.
- Okay.
But if you were in the same circumstance, would you?
- (sighing) I really don't know, Elle.
Look, why don't you sleep on it
and see how you feel about it tomorrow?
Elle?
- Yeah, yeah, I'm here.
- All right.
Well, I'm gonna try and get some sleep.
You know, the little monster's gonna be up
at the crack of dawn, wanting cereal.
So you know what that means?
- Froot Loops and milk on the floor.
- Froot Loops and milk on the floor.
- All right.
Well, I love you.
- I love you too.
Call me tomorrow.
- Okay, bye.

(ominous orchestral music continues)
Hello?
(ominous orchestral music continues)
(ominous orchestral music continues)
(phone buzzing)
- [Jacob] Are you okay?
- Hey, sorry.
I know it's late.
- What's going on?
- I opened the box.
- You did?
- Yeah.
And I took everything outta the box
and then I left the room for literally like a minute.
And when I came back,
everything was back inside of it and it was closed.
I know for for a fact when I left,
everything was outside of it.
- Okay, well, what was in the box?
- Like, nothing.
It was like hair, a piece of paper,
and a dried up rose or something.
But did you hear me?
Everything was outside of the box.
I came back and everything was in it.
And that's not the only thing either.
The box fell off the table by itself.
And ever since I've opened it,
I feel like someone or something is around me,
like I'm freaking out.
- Well, it sucks there was no money in there.
- Jacob, are you even listening to me?
- Yeah, I'm listening.
But it's three in the morning, you know?
Probably just tired and need sleep.
- No, that's not it.
I know what I saw.
- Look, why don't you just get some sleep
and just call me in the morning?
- You think I can sleep right now?
- Look, it doesn't seem like that big of a deal, Elle.
- Really, Jacob?
Whatever.

Hello?
- [Samantha] You said you'd come back.
- Samantha?
- [Samantha] Where are you, Mommy?
- Baby, it's late.
You should be sleeping.
Are you okay?
- [Samantha] You said you'd come back.
- Baby, I am coming back.
- [Samantha] But you didn't.
- What?
- [Samantha] You didn't come back that night?
- What night?
- [Samantha] I called you.
You didn't answer.
- Samantha, stop it.
- [Samantha] Why didn't you answer?
- I didn't hear it ringing.
- [Samantha] You were drinking again, weren't you?
- Samantha, please stop.
- [Samantha] Say it.
- Say what?
- [Samantha] Say why you didn't answer, Mommy.
- I was busy.
Okay?
Just stop it.
It doesn't matter.
- [Samantha] It matters to me.
- I thought you were okay.
- But I wasn't.
- I'm so sorry, Sammy.
- [Samantha] Guess what, Mommy.
- What?
- [Samantha] I'm waiting for you.
- What do you mean?
- [Samantha] I'm here, Mommy, come find me.
- What do you mean you're here?
- [Samantha] Come find me, Mommy.
- Sammy?
- [Deep Voice] Come find me.
(ominous orchestral music)
- Hello?
(ominous orchestral music continues)
(Samantha breathing heavily)
(ominous orchestral music)
(Ellie breathing heavily)
Right, but have you ever
seen anything like that though?
Okay.
Well I appreciate it.
Thanks.
(Ellie sighing)
(phone buzzing)
Hello?
- Hi, may I speak with Ellie please?
- Yes, this is Ellie.
- My name is Disha.
A good friend of mine called
and told me about the relic you found.
- Yeah, the box.
You know what it is?
- I believe so.
- I've been looking everywhere
and I can't find anything about it.
- Did you open it?
- Yeah.
- What was inside?
- Just a piece of paper, a flower and a lock of hair.
- Does the paper have writing on it?
- Yeah.
It's in a different language.
I looked it up and I think it says to-
- "To release."
- Right.
How did you know that
- What you have there is called a dybbuk box.
- A what box?
- I would need to see it to be sure.
- Great.
I can bring it to you.
- No, it's important that you don't go anywhere right now.
Especially with the box.
- What, why?
(Disha sighing)
- Morning, kiddo, you're up early.
What are you drawing?
- A box.
- What is, what's this on the box?
- I don't know.
- And, and who's that?
- She lives inside the box.
- Inside the box?
- Yeah.
(ominous orchestral music)
(knuckles rapping)
- [Ellie] Hi.
- Hello.
- Thank you so much for coming.
Please come in.
Can I get you a drink or anything?
- No, no, thank you.
I'm fine.
- Well, feel free to make yourself at home.
(ominous orchestral music)
- You should sit down.
In simple terms, a dybbuk is a spirit of the dead,
but a very malicious one.
They are possessing spirits
who attach themselves to the living.
In modern religion,
they are considered demons.
This box descends from ancient folklore
where they told tales of trapping the evil souls,
and then they would light a candle over the box,
have a seance to keep the spirits inside,
never to possess the living again,
as long as they remain inside the box.
(ominous orchestral music)
- And I opened it.
- Were you alone when you opened the box?
- Yes.
- And have you gone anywhere since you've opened it?
- No.
- Good.
Because they will follow you wherever you go.
I can see one behind you right now.
Oh, you may not be able to see it,
but it is attached to you.
It's what a dybbuk does.
They feed on you until you die.
And then they find another living soul to possess.
Do you have any children?
- Yes, I do.
A daughter.
- Then you have to stay away from her.
They can easily attach themselves to children.
- I can't.
She's my kid.
I have to see her.
- Well, then you're gonna have to find a way
to get the demon back in the box.
That's the only way.
- How?
- How did you obtain this box?
- Here, in the attic.
- And this is your house?
- Yes.
Well, no.
It was my Mom's,
but she passed away recently, so-
- I'm sorry for your loss.
- Thank you.
- Why do you think your mom had this box?
- I honestly don't, I don't know.
What?
- I, I'm sorry, but I have to go.
- Why?
- I shouldn't have come here.
- Please.
Wait, what am I supposed to do?
(voice groaning)
(water running)
(Ellie groaning)
(gums squelching)
(box thudding)
(ominous orchestral music continues)
(knuckles rapping)
(ominous orchestral music continues)
Oh, hey.
- Hey.
Just wanted to stop by and check on you.
See how you're doing?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I'm fine.
Thank you.
- I used to stop by and check on your mom all the time.
- That's very nice of you.
- Hey, listen, I forgot to ask you something yesterday.
- What?
- Do you mind if I come in?
- Um, no.
Come in.
(ominous orchestral music continues)
(door clicking)
- You don't look so good.
You okay?
- Um, yeah.
I just haven't been sleeping well.
- Why weren't you at your mother's funeral?
- Um, I really wanted to go,
but you know, Samantha was sick and home from school,
and Jacob was out of town.
So-
- Everybody kept asking about you.
- Yeah.
- (laughing) You opened it.
- What?
- You opened the box, didn't you?
- No.
- Yes you did.
I knew you would.
Your mom knew you would too. (laughing)
- What are you talking about?
- You're gonna run out of time.
- What?
- On the third sunrise,
your body won't be your own anymore.
(laughing) That box wasn't
passed down to your mom at all.
She got it as a parting gift just for you.
- You knew about the box and you lied to me.
- I sure did. (laughing)
- Why?
Why would you do that?
- Your mom knew what you were doing, Ellie.
- What are you talking about?
- You know exactly what I'm talking about.
By the time your mom figured it out,
it was too late,
but she knew and she knew you'd open that box too,
with a little coercing from me. (laughing)
- I don't understand.
- After your mom's kidney failure,
you started coming over every day, didn't you?
- Yeah.
So?
- But you never visited her before.
Not once.
Didn't make any sense.
Then it all clicked.
The potassium pills morning, noon, and night
for a whole two weeks, right?
Oh, you're smart.
You're smart.
I'll give you that.
- I have no idea what you're talking about.
- Hyperkalemia.
That's what your mom died of.
You knew her kidneys couldn't filter high levels
of potassium.
You knew it would kill her.
And it looks just like natural causes, doesn't it?
- I think you need to leave.
- You're going to die.
- You need to leave now!
Go!
- Three days is all you have

- I should've been there.
I should've been there, I should've been there.
I should've been there.
I should've been there, I should've been there.
(ominous orchestral music continues)
You need to get yourself together.
Do you understand me?
You need to get yourself together right now,
young lady.
Are you even listening?
(hands clapping) Snap out of it.
(hands clapping)
(ominous orchestral music)
Hello?
(hands clapping)
(hands clapping)
(ominous orchestral music continues)
Hi, this is Ellie.
I can't come to the phone right now.
Please leave a message.
- Hey, Elle, it's me.
I've been trying to get in touch with you today.
I don't know if you're mad at me or not,
but I'm, I'm sorry about last night.
You know, I, I was half asleep and anyway, I'm sorry.
Call me back.
I love you.
Bye.
(ominous orchestral music)
(knuckles rapping)
(knuckles rapping)
- Ellie, it's John.
(knuckles rapping)
Ellie, you home?
It's John.
(knuckles rapping)
Here?
(knuckles rapping)
(ominous orchestral music continues)
- [Jacob] Hey, Sammy, let's go.
(phone buzzing)
- [Samantha] Coming!
- Jesus, Elle, are you okay?
Yeah, we, we were literally just about to walk
out the door to come see you.
- No, don't.
You can't come here.
- What the hell's going on, Ellie?
- I did something really bad.
- What are you talking about?
- I need you to listen to me, Jacob.
I know this is gonna sound really, really crazy,
and you're probably not gonna view me the same.
But when I opened the box,
I released a curse.
A curse my mother put on me.
- Elle, come on.
What the hell are you talking about?
- I killed my mom.
- What?
- I killed my mother.
- Elle, your mom died from natural causes.
I saw the report myself.
- I made it look like it was natural causes,
but I knew, I knew I was killing her.
You know what she put me through.
I just didn't want her to be in my life anymore.
I'm, I'm not a bad person.
You know that.
You know that.
- I don't even know what to say right now.
- Please just tell me everything's gonna be okay.
(Ellie sobbing)
- How am I supposed to do that?
- I don't know.
- What are we supposed to do, Ellie?
- I'm gonna fix this, Jacob.
I don't know how, but I'm gonna fix it.

(ominous music)
Ellie, you okay?
- I'm fine.
- Okay.
Do you have a minute to sign some stuff?
- Yeah.
(ominous orchestral music)
- Thank you.
And the next one is your mortgage deed.
Just need to sign here and initial there.
Great.
And then your insurance declaration page.
Just initial right there.
Perfect.
Thank you.
And that is it.
- I'm gonna rip your eyeballs out of your head.

- Ellie?
- Jacob.
- Ellie, where are you?
- I'm coming home.
- Is everything okay?
- Everything's okay.
She just wanted me to say sorry.
I know it sounds crazy,
but that's all she wanted.
Hey, Jacob?
- Yeah?
- Can we just please forget any of this ever happened?
- Elle, I love you with all my heart
and I'm always gonna be there for you, no matter what.
- Thank you, Jacob.
- Now hurry up and get home.
We miss you.
- Okay.
(dramatic orchestral music)
(birds chirping)
(door clicking)
- Hey.
- Hey.
(gentle orchestral music)
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
- I am so glad you're home.
- Me too.
Where's Sammy.
- She's back there playing.
She can't wait to see you.
- Hi, Sammy.
- Mommy.
- Oh, I missed you so, so, so much.
- I missed you too, Mommy.
- What you drawing?
Ooh, a pumpkin.
I love it.
(dramatic orchestral music)
Sam, what is this?
- That's your box.
- My box?
Who is this, Samantha?
- She lives inside of the box.
- Who is she?
- You don't see her, do you?
- See who?
- It's your mommy.
(dramatic orchestral music continues)
(Ellie gasping)
(gentle music)
I've been clearing my mind
I've been going outside
To feel the warm sunrise
Hoping that I go blind
So I don't see you, bitch
I've meditated, but I feel no peace
But it would help my heart to feel at ease
When all I see is you with a bone to pick
And your head on a stick
Oh shit
Put my feet in the grass and feel the ground
Hoping I'll be able to grow like a flower now
There's a wildfire and it's burning down
Went to hell, look who I found
You've elusive
Feels like dancing
Humming angels hymns when you can't sing
You, you start me up and I go up full
Should've known you were her
Now everybody knows
I've been trying to journal
But all it is is a bunch of death notes
God, I hate how much I loathe her
Writing her name down over and over
Nothing feels its working for me
Can someone help me
I can't sleep
All that consists of my dreams
Are you
And the devil too
You're elusive
But I'm dancing
Humming angels hymns when you can't sing
You, you start me off and I go up full
Should've know you were her
Now everybody knows
(singer vocalizing)
Now everybody knows
(singer vocalizing)
Now everybody knows
(singer vocalizing)
You're elusive
Feels like dancing
Humming angel's hymns when you can't sing
You, you start me off and I go up full
Should've know you were her
Now everybody knows
(singer vocalizing)
Now everybody knows
(singer vocalizing)
Now everybody knows

- Get everything packed?
- Ellie, Elle!
Hey, you all right?
- Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
- Are you sure you don't want me
to come with you?
- I'm sure, I just feel bad.
I'm not saying bye to Samantha before I go.
- She's gonna be fine.
- But I'm the one that always
takes her to school and everything.
- Ellie, Ellie, she's gonna be okay.
We're gonna be okay, all right?
It's just a couple days.
Come here, come here.
- Jacob.
- Yeah?
- Do you think even some bad people get into heaven?
- I don't know.
I think, I think maybe even some bad people
are good in some ways.
(dramatic orchestral music)
- Don't order pizza every night.
Okay?
- No promises.
- (chuckling) I'll text you when I get there.
- Okay.
Hey, Elle?
- Yeah?
- Please be safe.
Okay?
- Okay, I will.
Love you.
- Love you too.

- I remember this time,
it was like third grade or something.
I was the butterfly in the school play,
and I stayed up all night making these little wings
out of wire hangers and newspapers and stuff.
I'll never forget you smiling
while I was dancing and
flapping my little wings on stage.
I remember waving at you
and you just looked right past me.
You weren't even watching me.
The whole time I thought you were smiling at me,
but you weren't.
Probably watching red-nosed Rachel.
She got to be the beautiful flower
that grew outta the garden.
She always got the best parts.
I don't think I ever saw you happy.
You know?
Ever since dad died,
you became a shell of a person.
And boy, did you make sure to make me
just as miserable as you.
And I hated you for doing that to me.
I hated you for that.
(sighing) It doesn't matter now.
What does matter is I will never,
ever treat my daughter the way that you treated me.
She will always know what it feels like to be loved.
(sighing) Until we meet again, wherever that might be.
(dramatic orchestral music continues)
(keys jingling)
- Hi, can I help you?
- Oh, hey, how are you?
I'm sorry.
I'm John.
Stewart couldn't make it,
so he sent me over here to give you these.
- Okay, great.
- Yep.
And this is yours too.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Wait.
- Everything okay?
- I'm missing paperwork.
The title and the deed to the house should be in here,
but I'm not seeing it.
- Oh, Stewart said you'd probably have to go back
up to the office and sign some more stuff
before everything was finalized.
- What?
No, that's not what we discussed at all.
I have the realtor coming
to put the house on the market the day after tomorrow.
- I, I understand.
These things can take time.
You know, I, I'll let Stewart know you're in a rush.
- Let him know?
He already knows.
And I'm not in a rush.
It's just that I specifically based my plans
around what he told me.
(sighing) You know what?
- He's in a meeting.
(line ringing)
- [Stewart] Hi, you've reached Stewart-
- He's in a meeting.
- [Stewart] Please leave your name and number.
- (sighing) Of course.
He didn't say anything
about how long it would take or anything?
- No, no, he didn't.
- I mean, are you sure
it didn't fall out of the folder
in your car or something?
- I'm, I'm sure that's everything.
But listen, I'm heading back to the office now.
I'll see Stewart before the end of the day
and I'll make sure he calls you.
- I mean, what choice do I have?
- Right.
Listen, I know this is tough on you,
it's tough on your family,
and I assure you,
we wanna make this as, as easy as possible for you guys.
- I appreciate it.
- Yep, no problem.
I'll let Stewart know the moment I see him.
- All right, thanks.

But why, Mom? - Because I said so.
That's why.
- [Ellie] But everyone else is going, this isn't fair.
- [Mom] No one told you life is going to be fair.
Do you think my life is fair?
You're just a spoiled little brat.

Hi, name's Ellie Keres.
K-E-R-E-S.
So you guys must have cut off the electric here early.
It's supposed to be on for another week,
but I've got nothing.
(sighing) Okay.
(ominous orchestral music)
Yeah, yeah.
I'm here.
Sorry.
Well, it's not.
Let me go check.
Hold on for me real quick.
(door clicking)
(ominous orchestral music continues)
(switch clicking)
Oh, it's working now.
No, that's all.
Thanks.
(ominous orchestral music continues)
Yeah, well, it's already almost five o'clock.
- Is it?
Jesus.
- Yeah.
You probably should get in touch with him
before it gets too late.
- Yeah, I will.
Let me talk to Sam real quick.
- Okay.
Sammy, say hi to your mommy.
- Hi, Mommy.
- Hi, baby.
How was school?
- You didn't pick me up.
- No, I know.
I'm sorry.
Daddy's gonna have to come get you for a couple days.
- He went in the wrong car line.
- He did?
- [Jacob] No, it wasn't the wrong car line.
It was just a different car line.
- Well, Daddy's still learning.
I can't wait to see you again
and get that big Sammy hug.
- Me Too.
I love you, Mommy.
- I love you too, Sammy.
Bye.
- Bye.
- [Stewart] Hi, you've reached Stewart Mitchell
with J&R-

(Ellie grunting)
(Ellie grunting)
(Ellie gasping)
- Ew.
(ominous orchestral music)
(phone buzzing)
- Hey, what'd he say?
- He didn't answer, but listen,
I found this box in the attic,
and it looks really, really old.
- What's in it?
- I don't know.
It's like sealed shut with like wax or something.
- Is it your mom's?
- I mean, yeah, it's in her attic,
but I've never seen it before.
- Hey, what if it's full of money or something?
- Do you think I should open it?
- I mean, what, what do you think?
- I don't know. (sighing)
- Call Rick.
Maybe he knows something.
- Ugh, I don't wanna call Rick.
(phone ringing)
- Yeah?
- Hey Uncle Rick, it's Ellie.
- Well, well, it's been a while, Ellie.
- Yeah, I know.
I've been really busy lately.
- Hmm.
- So I'm at Mom's house right now
and I found this wooden box in the attic.
It's really old and it has like wax or something on it.
I was wondering if you knew anything about it.
- Nope.
- So you don't remember seeing a box like that at all?
- [Rick] No.
- Hmm.
Okay.
So how have you been?
- What do you care?
- God, why do you have to be such a dick all the time?
- Bitch.
(box thudding) (ominous orchestral music)
(Ellie sighing)
(ominous orchestral music continues)
(knuckles rapping)
- Oh, hey, Theresa.
- Hey.
I saw your car here.
Just wanted to stop by and offer my condolences.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Your mom was one of the kindest people.
- Thank you.
- I didn't see you at the funeral.
- Yeah, I, I was busy.
I couldn't make it.
I really wish I could have been there.
- Hmm.
You planning on selling the house?
- Yeah.
I'm actually meeting with a realtor this week.
- Oh, hmm.
- Hey, you know my mom really well, didn't you?
- Oh yes.
- Did she ever mention like a box?
It's like this wooden box with melt-
- Melted candle wax.
Yeah.
- Yeah.
You know about it.
- I do.
- Do you know what it is?
- Do you mind if I come in?
It's awfully hot out here.
- Not at all.
Come in.
Come in.
(dramatic orchestral music)
(door clicking)
- This box was very important to your mom.
It belonged to her mother
and had been passed down
through several generations.
Each generation put something inside this box,
including your mom.
- What did she put in there?
- She never told me.
She never told anyone,
but I do know this.
Its contents are very special
and very valuable. (chuckling)
- Why wouldn't she tell me about it?
- Well, she did mention a few things in passing,
but I'd rather not get into that.
- What do you mean?
- You and your mom didn't have the best relationship.
I hate to say this,
but she didn't really trust you with this box.
And I guess she never found the right time to tell you.
- Why wouldn't she trust me with it?
I'm her own daughter.
- Because this box is never supposed to opened
except when adding something to it.
That's very important.
And also nothing can ever be removed from this box.
It was important to your mom.
She didn't want it to fall into the wrong hands.
So you see it comes with a lot of responsibility
and some people just can't handle that.
I hope I haven't caused you any distress
by telling you this,
certainly wasn't my reason for coming here.
- No, no.
I know.
- Well, I should be on my way.
It's getting late.
- All right, I'll show you out.
It was nice to see you.
- [Teresa] You too.
(dramatic orchestral music)
(door clicking)
(fingers tapping)
(ominous orchestral music)
- Did you get the video?
- Yeah, I saw it.
So you're saying it does that to all the lights?
- Yes, I've done it to every light in the house.
And it does this weird thing to digital clocks too.
It makes the numbers go like crazy or something.
- Yeah, that's weird.
- I know.
- And now I really want to know what's in there.
- You think I should do it.
- After everything she said, you still wanna do it?
- Wouldn't you?
- Yeah, but that's besides the point.
It's not mine.
- Okay.
But if you were in the same circumstance, would you?
- (sighing) I really don't know, Elle.
Look, why don't you sleep on it
and see how you feel about it tomorrow?
Elle?
- Yeah, yeah, I'm here.
- All right.
Well, I'm gonna try and get some sleep.
You know, the little monster's gonna be up
at the crack of dawn, wanting cereal.
So you know what that means?
- Froot Loops and milk on the floor.
- Froot Loops and milk on the floor.
- All right.
Well, I love you.
- I love you too.
Call me tomorrow.
- Okay, bye.

Hello?
(ominous orchestral music continues)
(ominous orchestral music continues)
(phone buzzing)
- [Jacob] Are you okay?
- Hey, sorry.
I know it's late.
- What's going on?
- I opened the box.
- You did?
- Yeah.
And I took everything outta the box
and then I left the room for literally like a minute.
And when I came back,
everything was back inside of it and it was closed.
I know for for a fact when I left,
everything was outside of it.
- Okay, well, what was in the box?
- Like, nothing.
It was like hair, a piece of paper,
and a dried up rose or something.
But did you hear me?
Everything was outside of the box.
I came back and everything was in it.
And that's not the only thing either.
The box fell off the table by itself.
And ever since I've opened it,
I feel like someone or something is around me,
like I'm freaking out.
- Well, it sucks there was no money in there.
- Jacob, are you even listening to me?
- Yeah, I'm listening.
But it's three in the morning, you know?
Probably just tired and need sleep.
- No, that's not it.
I know what I saw.
- Look, why don't you just get some sleep
and just call me in the morning?
- You think I can sleep right now?
- Look, it doesn't seem like that big of a deal, Elle.
- Really, Jacob?
Whatever.

- Baby, it's late.
You should be sleeping.
Are you okay?
- [Samantha] You said you'd come back.
- Baby, I am coming back.
- [Samantha] But you didn't.
- What?
- [Samantha] You didn't come back that night?
- What night?
- [Samantha] I called you.
You didn't answer.
- Samantha, stop it.
- [Samantha] Why didn't you answer?
- I didn't hear it ringing.
- [Samantha] You were drinking again, weren't you?
- Samantha, please stop.
- [Samantha] Say it.
- Say what?
- [Samantha] Say why you didn't answer, Mommy.
- I was busy.
Okay?
Just stop it.
It doesn't matter.
- [Samantha] It matters to me.
- I thought you were okay.
- But I wasn't.
- I'm so sorry, Sammy.
- [Samantha] Guess what, Mommy.
- What?
- [Samantha] I'm waiting for you.
- What do you mean?
- [Samantha] I'm here, Mommy, come find me.
- What do you mean you're here?
- [Samantha] Come find me, Mommy.
- Sammy?
- [Deep Voice] Come find me.
(ominous orchestral music)

(ominous orchestral music continues)
(Samantha breathing heavily)
(ominous orchestral music)
(Ellie breathing heavily)
Right, but have you ever
seen anything like that though?
Okay.
Well I appreciate it.
Thanks.
(Ellie sighing)
(phone buzzing)
Hello?
- Hi, may I speak with Ellie please?
- Yes, this is Ellie.
- My name is Disha.
A good friend of mine called
and told me about the relic you found.
- Yeah, the box.
You know what it is?
- I believe so.
- I've been looking everywhere
and I can't find anything about it.
- Did you open it?
- Yeah.
- What was inside?
- Just a piece of paper, a flower and a lock of hair.
- Does the paper have writing on it?
- Yeah.
It's in a different language.
I looked it up and I think it says to-
- "To release."
- Right.
How did you know that
- What you have there is called a dybbuk box.
- A what box?
- I would need to see it to be sure.
- Great.
I can bring it to you.
- No, it's important that you don't go anywhere right now.
Especially with the box.
- What, why?
(Disha sighing)
- Morning, kiddo, you're up early.
What are you drawing?
- A box.
- What is, what's this on the box?
- I don't know.
- And, and who's that?
- She lives inside the box.
- Inside the box?
- Yeah.
(ominous orchestral music)
(knuckles rapping)
- [Ellie] Hi.
- Hello.
- Thank you so much for coming.
Please come in.
Can I get you a drink or anything?
- No, no, thank you.
I'm fine.
- Well, feel free to make yourself at home.
(ominous orchestral music)
- You should sit down.
In simple terms, a dybbuk is a spirit of the dead,
but a very malicious one.
They are possessing spirits
who attach themselves to the living.
In modern religion,
they are considered demons.
This box descends from ancient folklore
where they told tales of trapping the evil souls,
and then they would light a candle over the box,
have a seance to keep the spirits inside,
never to possess the living again,
as long as they remain inside the box.
(ominous orchestral music)
- And I opened it.
- Were you alone when you opened the box?
- Yes.
- And have you gone anywhere since you've opened it?
- No.
- Good.
Because they will follow you wherever you go.
I can see one behind you right now.
Oh, you may not be able to see it,
but it is attached to you.
It's what a dybbuk does.
They feed on you until you die.
And then they find another living soul to possess.
Do you have any children?
- Yes, I do.
A daughter.
- Then you have to stay away from her.
They can easily attach themselves to children.
- I can't.
She's my kid.
I have to see her.
- Well, then you're gonna have to find a way
to get the demon back in the box.
That's the only way.
- How?
- How did you obtain this box?
- Here, in the attic.
- And this is your house?
- Yes.
Well, no.
It was my Mom's,
but she passed away recently, so-
- I'm sorry for your loss.
- Thank you.
- Why do you think your mom had this box?
- I honestly don't, I don't know.
What?
- I, I'm sorry, but I have to go.
- Why?
- I shouldn't have come here.
- Please.
Wait, what am I supposed to do?
(voice groaning)
(water running)
(Ellie groaning)
(gums squelching)
(box thudding)
(ominous orchestral music continues)
(knuckles rapping)
(ominous orchestral music continues)
Oh, hey.
- Hey.
Just wanted to stop by and check on you.
See how you're doing?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I'm fine.
Thank you.
- I used to stop by and check on your mom all the time.
- That's very nice of you.
- Hey, listen, I forgot to ask you something yesterday.
- What?
- Do you mind if I come in?
- Um, no.
Come in.
(ominous orchestral music continues)
(door clicking)
- You don't look so good.
You okay?
- Um, yeah.
I just haven't been sleeping well.
- Why weren't you at your mother's funeral?
- Um, I really wanted to go,
but you know, Samantha was sick and home from school,
and Jacob was out of town.
So-
- Everybody kept asking about you.
- Yeah.
- (laughing) You opened it.
- What?
- You opened the box, didn't you?
- No.
- Yes you did.
I knew you would.
Your mom knew you would too. (laughing)
- What are you talking about?
- You're gonna run out of time.
- What?
- On the third sunrise,
your body won't be your own anymore.
(laughing) That box wasn't
passed down to your mom at all.
She got it as a parting gift just for you.
- You knew about the box and you lied to me.
- I sure did. (laughing)
- Why?
Why would you do that?
- Your mom knew what you were doing, Ellie.
- What are you talking about?
- You know exactly what I'm talking about.
By the time your mom figured it out,
it was too late,
but she knew and she knew you'd open that box too,
with a little coercing from me. (laughing)
- I don't understand.
- After your mom's kidney failure,
you started coming over every day, didn't you?
- Yeah.
So?
- But you never visited her before.
Not once.
Didn't make any sense.
Then it all clicked.
The potassium pills morning, noon, and night
for a whole two weeks, right?
Oh, you're smart.
You're smart.
I'll give you that.
- I have no idea what you're talking about.
- Hyperkalemia.
That's what your mom died of.
You knew her kidneys couldn't filter high levels
of potassium.
You knew it would kill her.
And it looks just like natural causes, doesn't it?
- I think you need to leave.
- You're going to die.
- You need to leave now!
Go!
- Three days is all you have

I should've been there, I should've been there.
I should've been there.
I should've been there, I should've been there.
(ominous orchestral music continues)
You need to get yourself together.
Do you understand me?
You need to get yourself together right now,
young lady.
Are you even listening?
(hands clapping) Snap out of it.
(hands clapping)
(ominous orchestral music)
Hello?
(hands clapping)
(hands clapping)
(ominous orchestral music continues)
Hi, this is Ellie.
I can't come to the phone right now.
Please leave a message.
- Hey, Elle, it's me.
I've been trying to get in touch with you today.
I don't know if you're mad at me or not,
but I'm, I'm sorry about last night.
You know, I, I was half asleep and anyway, I'm sorry.
Call me back.
I love you.
Bye.
(ominous orchestral music)
(knuckles rapping)
(knuckles rapping)
- Ellie, it's John.
(knuckles rapping)
Ellie, you home?
It's John.
(knuckles rapping)
Here?
(knuckles rapping)
(ominous orchestral music continues)
- [Jacob] Hey, Sammy, let's go.
(phone buzzing)
- [Samantha] Coming!
- Jesus, Elle, are you okay?
Yeah, we, we were literally just about to walk
out the door to come see you.
- No, don't.
You can't come here.
- What the hell's going on, Ellie?
- I did something really bad.
- What are you talking about?
- I need you to listen to me, Jacob.
I know this is gonna sound really, really crazy,
and you're probably not gonna view me the same.
But when I opened the box,
I released a curse.
A curse my mother put on me.
- Elle, come on.
What the hell are you talking about?
- I killed my mom.
- What?
- I killed my mother.
- Elle, your mom died from natural causes.
I saw the report myself.
- I made it look like it was natural causes,
but I knew, I knew I was killing her.
You know what she put me through.
I just didn't want her to be in my life anymore.
I'm, I'm not a bad person.
You know that.
You know that.
- I don't even know what to say right now.
- Please just tell me everything's gonna be okay.
(Ellie sobbing)
- How am I supposed to do that?
- I don't know.
- What are we supposed to do, Ellie?
- I'm gonna fix this, Jacob.
I don't know how, but I'm gonna fix it.

She just wanted me to say sorry.
I know it sounds crazy,
but that's all she wanted.
Hey, Jacob?

(gentle music)
I've been clearing my mind
I've been going outside
To feel the warm sunrise
Hoping that I go blind
So I don't see you, bitch
I've meditated, but I feel no peace
But it would help my heart to feel at ease
When all I see is you with a bone to pick
And your head on a stick
Oh shit
Put my feet in the grass and feel the ground
Hoping I'll be able to grow like a flower now
There's a wildfire and it's burning down
Went to hell, look who I found
You've elusive
Feels like dancing
Humming angels hymns when you can't sing
You, you start me up and I go up full
Should've known you were her
Now everybody knows
I've been trying to journal
But all it is is a bunch of death notes
God, I hate how much I loathe her
Writing her name down over and over
Nothing feels its working for me
Can someone help me
I can't sleep
All that consists of my dreams
Are you
And the devil too
You're elusive
But I'm dancing
Humming angels hymns when you can't sing
You, you start me off and I go up full
Should've know you were her
Now everybody knows
(singer vocalizing)
Now everybody knows
(singer vocalizing)
Now everybody knows
(singer vocalizing)
You're elusive
Feels like dancing
Humming angel's hymns when you can't sing
You, you start me off and I go up full
Should've know you were her
Now everybody knows
(singer vocalizing)
Now everybody knows
(singer vocalizing)
Now everybody knows
