Happy anniversary, sweetheart.
(upbeat music)
(pages flipping)
Sweetheart, is that you?

(clock chiming)

Hello?
Someone there?
(soft chiming music)

Oh my God.

(blood dripping)
(Donna sighing)
Ms. Winters.
Ms. Winters, please pay attention.
We are of course very sorry for your loss.
The outstanding balance is in the range
of $100,000.
$100,000?
$100,000.33 to be precise.
There may be some personal effects
left in the estate that could be sold.
(Donna sighing)
I'll send some appraiser by
to value the remaining channels.
If that loan is not paid
off within six weeks,
then I'm sorry, Ms. Winters,
your father's loan will default
and the property will be
surrendered to the bank
so it can clear the outstanding balance.

Thanks a lot, Dad.
I am really depressed, Ling.
[Ling] Try not to stress
over it too much right now.
I owe a lot of money
and I don't know where
I'm gonna get it from.
[Ling] Look, I'm in the area.
Why don't I come over and
you can tell me all about it.
That would be nice.
(Donna sighing)
(water running)
(burner clicking)
(ominous music)
(bones cracking)
(Donna gasping)
(kettle whistling)
(doorbell ringing)
Is anything here we can sell?
Hopefully.
We have lots of fine art and antiques.
I'm not sure how much
all this painting worth.
I don't know if I could sell them.
And do not forget you owe $100,000.
Yeah.
What about if I lend the money to you?
Really?
You'd do that for me, Ling.
I know you would do the same thing for me
and this way I could secure the loan
with this house.
Oh, Ling, you're such a good friend.
Thank you.
[Ling] That's a friend for.
Solves a lot of
problems, that's for sure.
(birds chirping)
[Ling] Have you ever
thought about turning this place
into a boarding house?
You mean like a hotel
or a bed and breakfast?
Yes.
A lot of college students can rent here,
and also people out of town.
I have a good friend,
she makes tons of money by doing this.
That sounds like a good idea.
Would you consider helping me?
(tense music)
You are lucky.
I'm between projects right now.
Ah, thank you, Ling.
To my new business partner.
[Both] Cheers.
- I'll see you tomorrow then.
- See you.

[Donna] Hello?
Hi there.
Ms. Winters?
Yes.
I'm Mr. Ben Harvey, the appraiser.
- Great.
- Your attorney told me
to stop by.
Take a look at the items.
Is now a good time?
Hmm, yes.
Do you know much about
the history of this painting here?
No.
It's been here ever since
I can remember though.
Hmm.
My dad liked to collect art.
You can look around.
I have to go do something,
but holler if you need me.
Okay?
Thank you.
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
(blood dripping)
(tense music continues)
(wind whooshing) (Ben screaming)
(ominous music)
(birds chirping)
What do you mean he's not coming back?
They're not reproductions.
My dad had these for years.
Hello?
Hello?
(Donna sighing)
(crickets chirping)
There you go.
So what did that appraiser say?
The appraiser said that
everything is reproductions,
and unfortunately I can
only get $6,000 for everything.
Well, don't worry.
I'm sure sooner or later your
house will fill with boarders
and you'll get a lot of money.
Until then, I will use
this house as collateral.
Thank you, Ling.
[Ling] Cheers.
Cheers.

[Richie] I don't wanna talk about it.
[Donna] Why not, Dad?
You never wanna talk about it.
[Richie] I just don't
wanna talk about it.
Oh, yes, it is beautiful.
(soft chiming music)
Belonged to your mother.
(soft chiming music continues)
(ominous music)
(voice growling)
This was mom's.
Why can't I have it?
You better put it back.
It's, it's, it's too
painful to discuss why.
Dad, what is this anyway?
[Richie] There's a reason
why I put it down there.
Now just put it back.
Okay.
(door clicking)
(ominous music)
[Richie] Put it back where you found it.
(birds chirping) (ominous music)
Can you help me with something please.
(door creaking) (ominous music)
Okay, it's okay.
(Donna sighing)
Don't worry.
Everything will be fine.
(voice whispering indistinctly)
Um, I think we can just
do one box at a time.
Okay, thanks.
(door clicking)
(soft chiming music)
(Donna sighing)
(door clicking)
I haven't seen this in a while.
[Ling] Is that your mom?
It is.
How young she was.
Look at you.
So cute. (Phone ringing)
- Excuse me.
- Sure.
Hi, Bao.
I already told you don't call me again.
Oh gosh, leave me alone. (Sighing)
Are you okay?
It's my, my ex.
He always follow me whenever I go.
Oh God, that's scary.
(tense music)
(water running)

(voice whispering indistinctly)

[Ling] What is that?
Some of my mom's stuff.
Such a haunting tune, isn't it?
(somber piano music)
(somber piano music continues)

(somber piano music)
Such a beautiful melody.

Breakfast will be a big bonus.
[Donna] I'll add this picture.
Do you like that one?
Yeah, I love this picture.
We can put, actually
we can put three or four.
So I'll choose this one, this one,
I really like this one that you took.
It looks good.
And we'll add it to all the sites.
What do you think?
So first I did the pink room.
Our people that are here
that just wanna visit from
other states or other places?
Probably we can see a lot
of people all over the world.
I brought you some towels.
Ah, nice.
I will take this.
Wow.
God, this looks great.
[Ling] Oh yeah.
You know I just got it in a, in a basement.
Such a nice picture.
Looks great.
I love it. It gives it the finishing touch.
Yes.
(keys clacking) (tense music)
(engine rumbling)
(birds chirping)
(water running) (tense music)
(cabinet rattling)
(voice whispering indistinctly)
(cat meowing)
Hey.
Come here, honey.
Come on, baby.
Oh look, the baby.
Okay, it's okay.
Oh, so lovely.
Cute.
So lovely, baby.
So cute.
Oh, but where's she coming from?
She got locked in here.
I don't know how she got in there though.
Geez.
That's so strange.
Yeah.
Poor little thing.
That's a good little girl.
Okay, I'll help you.
Okay.
(birds chirping)
(ominous music) (Ling gasping)
Hey.
(ominous music)
I told you.
Do not come to this house again.
Leave me alone.
[Donna] Is he dangerous?
[Ling] He does not want to give up.
[Donna] What are we gonna do?
We cannot prove it's him.
This room is pretty now.
This was my childhood room.
My mom decorated it and
my dad never changed it.
It must feel like being
a princess, living in it.
So elegant.
My dad did his best to
raise me, so I can't complain.
Rest his soul.
Oh, by the way, have you checked the site
for any guest requests?
Yes.
Okay, we have Courtney Cable coming
and she's going to stay in this room.
[Ling] Since she's
famous for loving pink.
I know, huh?
And she wants to do live feeds here.
But she says her house is being remodeled
and she needs a place
to live until it's done.
I will finish the rest of the room.
(door clicking) (birds chirping)
Kitty? (Ominous music)
Kitty.
Oh, Kitty.
(trowel thudding)
(dirt thudding)
[Ling] Donna, he is here.
(doorbell ringing)
Hi.
You must be Mr. Butchers.
Butch.
Okay, come on in.
(door clicking)
This is Ling.
This is our housekeeper, Sarah.
She's going to take you to your room.
Okay. Sounds good.
Mr. Butch, this is your room.
Okay.
Your bathroom is in the hall.
Breakfast is from seven to 10 here.
Okay, great.
And thank you again
for one production set up and everything.
It looks great.
So thank you again.
Enjoy it.
(tense music)
(doorknob rattling)
(crickets chirping) (ominous music)
[Woman] What is this?
[Woman 2] I found the kittens.
They're all huddled up.
- It's so cute.
- Hi, babies.
Hi, babies.
(ominous music)
(soft upbeat music)
(both laughing)
I have something for you.
Wow.
It's a pentacle of protection.
It's supposed to ward off
evil spirits and keep you safe.
Thank you, Kiara.
Thank you.
I love it.
I'm gonna wear it all the time.
[Kiara] Oh, it looks perfect on you.
- Thank you so much.
- You're welcome.
(laughing) Now I have
something to tell you.
I'm pregnant,
and Richie wants to marry me.
- What?
- Yes.
Oh my God, oh my God.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
Would you be my maid of honor?
I'm so happy. (Laughing)
(engine rumbling)
I'm worried about Kiara.
Oh, how so?
She's been messing
with the wrong stuff lately.
She ought to stay away from that crap.
Honestly, honey, I never
really liked her that much.
She's just been such a
good friend over the years.
[Richie] Hmm, I dunno.
[Mom] Baby Donna just woke up.
Where have you been?
There's a full moon tonight
or have you forgotten
about our covens pact?
Kiara, we need to talk about all of this.
What's there to talk about?
This crap ends now.
[Mom] Richie, stop.
I'm not gonna have our daughter
being raised around this hippie bullshit.
Richie, please.
No, seriously. I am done.
Okay?
I am gonna take our
daughter and head inside.
You have to make a choice.
Us or her.
(tense music)
I can't do this.
(tense music continues)
(baby crying)
(ominous music)
(doorknob rattling)
(ominous music continues)
(ominous music continues)
(Kiara whispering indistinctly)
(ominous music continues)
(ominous music continues)
Kiara, what are you doing?
I'm getting stronger.
I can feel it
(voices whispering) (ominous music)
(Kiara gasping)
(Kiara groaning)
(Mom speaking foreign language)
No, no!
(Mom speaking foreign language)
Now you are safe.
I think they were in a cult or something.
Hmm.
Your mom must be very interesting lady.
Look at that.
The documentation
for the room just arrived.
Great.
Let's see here.
Okay.
Okay.
There you go.
Thank you. I'll see you tomorrow morning.
Okay.
You must tell me the
story after reading it.
Night.
(ominous music)
Welcome, Connie.
And at your request, the pink room.
[Courtney] Thank you.
And I love "Coffee with Courtney."
That's my favorite show.
I'm so glad you're here.
Oh, I'd love to have you on.
I'd love to be on.
Oh, me and Georgia would love that.
Ah, we'll have to arrange that.
Let me show you around.
This way please.
Thanks.
We'll have your room ready
and at your request, the pink room.
Thanks.
This is our pool.
Wow. It looks beautiful.
Yeah. Isn't it pretty?
Is it heated?
You wish.
You can use this for anytime,
but only if you know
how to swim. (Laughing)
Awesome.
Can I live stream here?
Sure.
But make sure before you filming them,
have our guests notified.
And also do not forget to put
our place on rooms room.com.
Okay.
Of course.
Can we do a live stream?
Sure.
Oh!
Hey, guys. Look at my new pool.
Isn't it nice?
Thank you so much.
Hashtag blessed.
Oh, don't worry, we're only
gonna be here for a little bit.
We're gonna have our new house soon.
Okay.
Hey guys, Courtney here,
and welcome to my new digs.
Super cute, right?
Super pink.
Really excited to have you here today.
That's right.
I had to rent an apartment
while they remodeled my beautiful
new house that you
guys helped me pay for it.
That's right.
And now all you guys can
also help me remodel it.
That's right.
In this very special new suit
by my nice new rented pool.
That's right.
And I'm gonna walk around here
and I'll show you my bathroom.
Let's go.
(doorbell ringing)
Hi, I'm Anna.
I'm here about the room.
We have you here in this room.
It's on the ground floor.
This is great.
Beautiful outdoor area.
Easy access to the garden.
- Yeah.
- Nice.
Also, let me show you the washer area.
You'll like it.
[Anna] Great.
I actually have a lot of
laundry to do. (Laughing)
- Is it nice?
- It's beautiful.
So let me know if you need anything else.
I will be here for you.
- Thank you.
- Enjoy.
(tense music)
I just checked in
and now I'm gonna give
you guys a little house tour.
So excited.
So Donna, who I think owns
a house, I'm not really sure.
She was the woman on the listing
and she has some really cute stuff.
I'm just gonna take it for now.
She won't notice it missing.
Okay.
Ooh, my favorite part.
The bar.
Yes, that's right.
This is gonna be my
favorite room of the house.
And ooh, this looks expensive.
Look at this.
This is some grade A fun stuff.
I'm really, really excited.
Ooh, wait, I hear a noise.
Um, ooh, that is definitely
not Donna or Lynn.
Guys, there is some
grade A red meat over there.
What do you guys think?
How long do you think
it'll take me to, you know,
get to know him a little bit better?
I mean, maybe we even
share this nice bottle together.
He's yummy, very yummy.
Okay.
We're gonna...
(door creaking)
Hey, Courtney.
Is there anything I can help you with?
Yes, you can totally
help me with something.
(knuckles rapping)
Hey, Butch.
Hey.
This is Courtney Cable.
You may recognize her
from "Coffee with Courtney."
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know the show.
I'm Butch. It's nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
So are are you staying long?
Probably about two weeks.
They're totally gutting my house right now.
Ah, that sucks.
Yeah, it's a disaster,
but thank God I found
a place that takes dogs.
Yeah.
Cool, nice.
Well, it's great to meet you.
Donna tells me you're a big editor
and I was wondering if you
could edit some videos for me.
I mean, I'm kind of on
a strict deadline and stuff,
but, so I'm kind of, you know, I, yeah,
yeah, absolutely, I'll help you out.
I just gotta get, I'll make time.
Good.
It doesn't have to be all work and no play.
(laughing) Okay, sounds good.
Yeah, I'm gonna get back to it.
- Oh, okay.
- I'll see you around.
- Bye.
- Okay.
He's so cute.
(washer whirring)
(tense music)
(washer whirring and thudding)
(water running)
(ominous music)
(cross thudding)
(Anna gasping)
(birds chirping)
Oh, hi.
Hi.
I think your washer is broken.
Here.
Take a look.
What?
I could have sworn... (sighing)
It has been a long day.
Don't worry.
Go get some rest.
(Anna scoffing)
(water running)
(ominous music)
(door clicking)
(ominous music)
(engine revving)
(tires screeching)
(ominous music continues)
(birds chirping)
[Donna] Oh no.
Who was that?
It's Bob again.
Oh.
I think he just does not want to give up.
Is he dangerous?
Oh no, he's not dangerous at all.
He just want to be with me.
Well, we don't need a
guy creeping around here
while we're running a business.
So if Bob doesn't leave, I'm gonna have
to call the police.
Oh wait, wait. I'll be right back.
Okay.
(Donna sighing)
(somber piano music)
(birds chirping)
Three, two...
(ominous music)
(Sarah gasping)
(door slamming)
Hi.
Are you looking for a room?
No, I'm looking for my girl.
Tell Ling that Bob is
here to take her home.
I don't know what you're talking about.
There's no Ling here.
You know goddamn well who Ling is.
All right, let's not play
any games here today.
Send her out.
I'm not in the mood for bullshit.
There's nobody here by that name.
Oh.
It's okay.
I will get it.
Okay, Ling, okay.
You made your point.
Now go inside and grab your stuff
and I'll meet you in the car.
I just told you I have
nothing to do with you anymore.
If you don't fuck off right now,
I'm going to call the police.
Oh, now you're really
trying to piss me off, huh?
(electricity crackling)
Okay, come on, bitch, come on.
Let's see how close you can get, huh.
(electricity crackling)
- Get outta here!
You think this is over?
This is far from over.
You're gonna live to
regret this, I promise you.
(electricity crackling)
- Four.
- Oh my God.
Three, two, all the way up.
- Woo.
- Oh.
[Anna] Great job.
Next time, let's just do abs.
Yeah, sure.
Is there someone in your room?
What?
No.
There, in the window.
(ominous music)
There's no one there.
It must be the glare.
Weird.
(Anna sighing)
Mmm.
(ominous music)
(ominous music)
(dishes clattering)
(light piano music)
- It's cool.
- Not heated.
(Anna laughing)
(all chattering indistinctly)
(light piano music continues)
(ominous music)
So is Butch single?
Of course.
Sure.
- Cookies, girls.
- Ooh, wow.
Smell so good.
Thank you.
Well, you know what I think?
I'd like to bring some cookies to Butch.
[Donna] Okay.
They're in the kitchen.
I have a few there for you.
Okay?
- You guys enjoy.
- Thank you.
Have either of you
experienced anything strange
around the house?
No, not really.
I mean, this is an old house,
so there's the regular creaks
and that sort of thing.
You know when a house settles,
it just kind of makes noises sometimes.
I wonder what the
history of the house is.
It was sold I think in the '20s or '30s.
What about like spooky
things? Anything super spooky?
Grew up here and nothing ever happens.
Ghosts?
Well, my mom was kind
of a wild thing in her day.
She had like a big box
and she had a bunch of like
different herbs and candles
and other interesting things.
What was she into?
You know it was the '60s back then.
Like new age stuff?
Maybe, but I don't know.
[Courtney] What's in the box?
You guys wanna see it?
Yeah, I'd love to.
Like new age stuff does
really well on my social media.
I just, I love it. My fans love it.
My followers just,
they, they go crazy for it.
It gets lots of views.
Okay, I'll go get it.
Awesome.
This is exciting.
This scary.
(knuckles rapping)
[Ling] Butch, may I come in?
Yeah, come in.
Oh, hey,
I have some freshly
baked cookies for you.
Oh, thank you.
(ominous music)
No, I'm good, thank you.
[Donna] This was my mom's box.
Whoa, look, guys.
This is a black crystal.
(gasping) Have you ever
done a blessing of the house?
I think we should do an exorcism.
Right, guys?
No.
How about something that
doesn't conjure evil spirits.
So guys, this house
has been very interesting.
The WiFi has not been so
strong. Anna thinks there's ghosts.
Maybe there is, maybe there isn't.
But you are gonna come with me and see.
So let's go on a little house tour.
Spirits, go, get out of my house.
[Donna] Get out of my house.
You have to leave.
By the power of the holy right now.
Make sure to like come, subscribe, share
for more awesome content just like this.
What are you guys doing?
We're doing a cleansing.
Here, take this.
I don't that will work.
Listen, it's for the business.
So just go along with it, okay?
Okay.
All right, come on.
Cleanse.
Okay.
By the power of the Holy
Spirit, I cleanse this space.
Anything negative must leave.
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
May the space be cleansed, pure and holy.
(dish clattering)
By the power of the
Holy Spirit, in the name
of our Lord Jesus Christ,
may the space be cleansed,
pure, and holy.
(dish clattering)
If there are any evil
spirits, they must leave.
Evil spirits be gone.
Evil spirits get out of my house.
(dish clattering)
In the name of Christ,
the Lord I rebuke any evil.
By the power of the Holy Spirit.
By the power of Christ,
our Lord, I rebuke any evil.
Guys, they are doing these
things and it is really creepy.
There's ghosts and I can feel
them, like I have goosebumps.
So we're filming all these people
at the boarding house right now, guys.
They're very religious
and there're spirits here.
By the power of the name of Holy Christ.
Nope, I'm out.
I'm out.
- Done.
- Damn breakers.
Thank you for tuning into
my amazing new show,
"Haunting with Courtney."
I love you so much.
Mwah.
(dish clattering)
(ominous music)
(voice laughing)
(Ling gasping)
- Butchy.
- Hey, Courtney. What's up?
You know, just doing my
whole ghost hunter thing.
Ghosts.
Yeah, ghost hunting.
- How's that going?
- It's fun.
You know, just, it's good for my audience.
It makes it look like
there's something going on.
It gets me more views.
They like ghost stuff.
All right, sure. (Laughing)
You should come and
hunt some ghosts with us.
Got a pretty tight
deadline going on here, so
[Courtney] Mmm.
You should be in front of the camera.
In front of the camera?
Yeah. Bless the house.
(ominous music)
(ominous music continues)
(ominous music continues)
(doors clattering)
Donna, is that you?
Donna?
Ah!
Did you just hear a scream?
Not yet.
Donna.
Donna, there's something
going on in this house.
Ling, what's wrong?
Something cold blow on me.
It's an old house. It
might just be a draft.
I'm not feeling comfortable here.
Look, just calm down.
Okay, so I have this bed.
Why don't you sleep in here tonight with me
and I'll lock the door.
Okay?
I'll be here so you don't have to worry.
Okay.
- Okay.
- Yeah, just go relax.

Good morning.
[Donna] Morning.
How are you feeling?
Oh, I feel great after
good night's sleep.
[Donna] Oh, thank goodness. (Sighing)
You know I saw that
very creepy girl last night.
She has a very long and curly hair
and she has a, the white ball in her eyes.
- Ah.
- Oh gosh.
It is so scary. It is so scary.
I think I saw the same lady.
Let's not talk about this right now.
I don't want to upset all the boarders.
Anna, Butch, Courtney!
Where's all the girls?
I'll go.
Okay, get 'em. (Sighing)
(ominous music)
(Ling gasping)
Butch!
(voices chattering indistinctly)
Anna!
Courtney, Butch?
(voices chattering indistinctly)
Did you hear that?
Yeah, I hear something.
[Donna] Anna!
(door creaking)
(both gasping)
[Ling] Oh my God.
What's going on?
Okay, call 911.
I'll go check on the others, okay?
(ominous music)
Courtney?
Hello?
Hello?
Someone has died.
I need help.
(ominous music)
Courtney!
Oh God.
Ling, we've gotta go.
They're all dead.
I don't have any full coverage.
Oh God.
What am I going to do?
(Ling breathing heavily)
(Ling gasping)
I will visit the inequity of
the mother upon her daughter.
What are you talking about?
I think it has something
to do with my mother.
What?
What she did here before.
Huh?
Let's get the hell outta here.
(door rattling)
It won't open.
- The windows.
- Okay.
(ominous music)
(Ling sobbing)
What the hell?
Fuck.
(drawers clattering)
(door creaking)
[Ling] Donna.
Ling?
Ling?
Ling?
(ominous music)
Ling?
(woman growling) (ominous music)
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
(phone beeping)
[Operator] 911, what's your emergency?
Yeah, I think there's some
kind of a attack or something
going on in the house.
[Operator] Sir, what's your location?
5555 Heliman Drive.
[Operator] Sir, could you
gimme your name please?
Uh, uh... Hello sir?
(imitating static) There's... Sir?
Sorry, static, static, static.
[Donna] Ling!
There's no way out.
We, we were sleeping.
It's all your mom's fault.
Okay, listen, my mom
was able to protect herself
with a spell in the book.
Where is it?
Where is it?
It's upstairs.
(ominous music)
I've gotta find the binding
spell that my mother used.
I know it's in here.
I saw it in here before.
"The right of the binding."
I found it.
Okay.
It says that this pendant
will protect us from evil.
Here, take this.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
Let's go.
(door creaking)
(Ling gasping)
Demon.
We need to hold it back.
(demon speaking indistinctly)
[Ling] Donna, go!
Go to the basement.
Go!
Shit.
(ominous music)
(Ling gasping)
Ling, come here.
I need you.
Here.
Draw the circle.
(voices whispering indistinctly)
You need the candles.
Put this one back there.
Put it around the circle.
All right.
(voices whispering indistinctly)
Quick, put it around the perimeter.
Okay.
Hurry, Donna.
Here, here, put this down.
(voices whispering indistinctly)
(Donna speaking foreign language)
[Ling] Donna, hurry!
(demon growling) (Donna gasping)
(Donna screaming)
(both screaming)
(body thudding)
Ling, Ling!
(demon growling)
(Donna speaking foreign language)
(wind whooshing) (demon growling)
(Donna gasping and groaning)
(wind blowing)
(door clicking)
Hello?
Is anyone down here?
(metal clattering)
(soft chiming music)
There's no pulse on this one.
She's DOA.
Hello, ma'am.
- Can you hear us?
- Uh huh.
[EMT] She's barely conscious.
(gasping) The demon.
The demon.
She's hallucinating. Let's hold her down.
[Donna] The demon, the demon, the demon.
Give her a sedative.
[Donna] The demon, the demon, the demon,
the demon, can't you see,
can't you see it's a demon?
(Ling coughing)
(ominous music)
(birds chirping)
I see she's had some psychotic episodes.
I'm gonna prescribe an
antipsychotic medication
to be taken before each meal.
200 milligram dose. Contact
me if she has any more of these.
Yes, I will, Doctor.
Thank you so much.
(ominous music)
[Radio] The investigation
into the boarding house murders,
which took the lives of
three people, is still ongoing.
One of which was the
famous social media sensation,
Courtney Cable, who created
the popular online show.
"Coffee with Courtney."
Ms. Cable and her dog,
along with two other
individuals, were killed.
No motive was ever determined.
However, much like the Manson murders,
police believe Satanic
worship may have been a factor
because of the evidence found.
Additionally, police stated
that the owner of the home,
Donna Winters, had lifelong mental illness
and was unable to communicate what happened
and remains in a local sanatorium.
(tense music)
Haven Site Mental Institute.
Visiting hours are between
four and seven on weekdays.
Thank you.
Hello, I'm here to visit
Mrs. Donna Winters.
I think she's in ward B.
Ah yes, but she's out on the lawn.
Through these doors
and your first store on the left.
I'll notify the nurse
that someone is here to visit her.
[Ling] Thank you.
Haven Site Mental Institute.
(door clicking)
(birds chirping)
Mmm.
The fresh Air will do you good.
(tense music)
Ling?
Hello, sweetheart.
How's everything going?
Don't worry, Donna.
Your boarders at my
house are doing just fine.
(tense music continues)
The demon, the demon,
the demon, the demon,
the demon, the demon.
Doctor.
We have to get her back.
Oh, relax, relax.
