The Dead Files (2011) s08e12 Episode Script

The Whispering

There's all kinds of [bleep.]
going on out here.
I'm terrified to be in my own home.
There is a man with a double-barreled shotgun, lots of violence.
STEVE: Why were you willing to talk to me? You were a suspect.
AMY: I think she was murdered.
This property was soaked with blood.
I just hear death.
Yeah.
We're not supposed to be here.
There's a dark presence.
My name is Amy Allan.
These things, they're freaking out.
They're from hell.
I see dead people.
They were being hunted.
I speak to dead people.
They were setting people on fire, burning them alive.
And they speak to me.
Her neck got broken.
But there's only one way to know if my findings are real.
I hear a gunshot.
I rely on my partner.
I'm Steve di Schiavi.
I'm a retired New York City homicide detective.
Something's not right here.
And I know every person, every house, has secrets.
- It's not safe here.
- It's my job to reveal them.
Are any of them buried on the property? They're all buried here.
But Steve and I never speak We never communicate during an investigation.
- Until the very end - I can't do it no more.
When we uncover if it's safe for you to stay Holy [bleep.]
.
Look at this.
Or time to get out.
It does not have a happy ending.
Something kills people here.
STEVE: I'm out here in the small town of Concrete, Washington.
It's about 2 hours north of Seattle.
I got a call from a lady who sounded hysterical.
She was crying on the phone, saying whatever's in the house is destroying her health, ruining her marriage and making her feel like she's losing her mind.
She doesn't know where to turn, and we're her very last hope.
Before Amy arrives, I clear the area of anything that could influence her findings.
This home is filled with family photos, so it's important that I cover or remove them all.
When I'm done, the location will be ready for tonight's walk.
AMY: There's definitely something strange down the street.
What the [bleep.]
? There's, like, a, um, energy field or something.
I think somebody put this up, put this barrier up.
I don't know how [bleep.]
big this thing is.
You know, there was, like, a lot of violence, lots of violence, lots of violence.
There's all kinds of [bleep.]
going on out here.
STEVE: Now, Melissa, when we spoke on the phone, you were almost in hysterics.
I'm terrified to be in my own home.
It's like living in a nightmare.
Do me a favor and just start from the beginning.
- When'd you get here? - Um, we came in 2006.
My husband was transferred up here with the military.
- Okay.
- We found the land, and we had the home built.
- All right.
So the house is new.
- Yes.
Okay.
Do you know anything about the history of the land that the house sits on? I know there was a woman next door.
I know she had her throat slit.
Wow.
So I'll look into that.
That's pretty interesting.
This is a big house.
Who exactly lives here with you? This is a picture of, uh, my family.
This is my husband, Brandon, and my son, Taylor.
He's 20.
Up until about 2 months ago, he lived here.
So what exactly is happening? What's going on? Sounds, uh, banging, shadow figures, apparitions, being touched.
It's getting worse and worse and worse.
Did you hear that? No.
It went right by my ear, like "Shh," telling me to be quiet.
Well, you're not gonna be quiet.
So whatever's here can go to hell.
All right? All right? I'm here with you now.
Nothing's gonna happen.
Take a deep breath 'cause you're shaking.
Come on, with me.
Ready? - Okay.
- I trust you.
Okay.
Good.
Nothing in this house is gonna stop me from doing my job.
See? You feel like you're going crazy 'cause other people don't hear it.
And then, they go, "Oh, she's just nuts.
" I'm not saying that, am I? - Okay? - Okay.
Hmm? All right.
AMY: There's, like, a lot of people talking.
I heard voices in the dark.
And they're yelling and screaming about this wave of illness.
There are so many people.
I don't know who these damn people are in the [bleep.]
darkness.
They seem to be in this area of containment.
I'm wondering if they hear people around.
You know, if they hear people around their house, they've gotta be hearing people talking.
They've gotta be hearing conversations.
It's pretty [bleep.]
bad.
Too much going on.
STEVE: You said that you think whatever's going on here is affecting the marriage.
We used to be really strong.
It seems whatever force is here is trying to divide us.
My health, um, is rapidly declining.
I have bad osteoporosis.
I see a specialist for my throat.
They say I have vocal cord dysfunction.
But actually, I feel like I've been choked by what's ever here.
Did you have any of these symptoms prior to moving here? No.
I was healthy.
I think it's trying to kill me.
Okay.
AMY: These dead people in the dark, they're so sick.
The living are feeling some of these physical symptoms.
Oh, I don't feel good.
[Bleep.]
Really bad, really bad.
This is fear.
This is fear, like, uh, you're so afraid.
You're so afraid.
You're so afraid that you, like, you know, you get sick.
You're [bleep.]
sick.
Terrified.
[Bleep.]
terrified.
Terrified.
STEVE: Okay.
What's going on? Hearing voices, multiple.
Is it male, female? Two females arguing, really mad.
What about the TV being on? Anything like that? No.
Everything was shut off.
All right.
So you're hearing voices.
What else is going on? Had a woman sit on the bed and try to touch me.
Okay.
Can you describe her for me? She had long hair.
It was like a skeleton face.
Okay.
So this is something that was meant to scare you.
Yeah.
She sat down on the bed, and she reached out for me.
She said, "You're gonna die.
" Relax.
Just hold my hand.
Relax.
AMY: I'm hearing a woman outside.
I think she was murdered.
There's a man, uh, with a, uh, double-barrel shotgun.
And then, there's these two guys.
They're like They're bullies.
And they don't wanna talk about the the lady at all.
I don't know what's going on here.
This dead woman, who crawls all around, I see her crawling into bed.
She does, uh, wrap herself around, uh, this living, uh, woman, I believe.
And it's not good for a living person.
Why? The living person is taking on that dead person's energy.
So they can start acting like the dead person.
They'll take on mannerisms, speech patterns.
And then, that makes the living person [bleep.]
sick.
Has anything else happened? I was taking a bath 2 nights ago.
Got out of the bathtub, felt burning on my leg.
- Okay.
- I looked down.
And I had scratches.
They were deep.
It hurt.
Wow.
I gotta say, this is probably one of the more severe cases we've worked on.
Just make it go away and make it stop hurting me.
I will.
We're gonna take care of it.
- Okay.
- It's okay.
I know.
AMY: The two bullies, I think that they are around when the chick strays.
They have to get her back because she belongs to them.
But the living go through something when they [bleep.]
retrieve her.
What happens to them? I think the living person would feel potentially like, you know, they're being grabbed or touched.
They feel the anger.
They feel the pressure.
They feel like all of this is happening around them.
STEVE: Okay.
So I understand you're a vet.
I am.
I spent, uh, all of 2004 in Fallujah, Iraq, with the Marines.
I was talking to your wife.
And, uh, she got real upset.
She thinks that whatever's here is trying to kill her.
I can't say it's not.
'Kay.
So what about yourself? - Any experiences in the house? - Yeah.
Okay.
So tell me about them.
I would get this neck pain.
It felt like someone had me, but with a rope around my neck, was pulling me up in the air.
I couldn't breathe, and I could start tasting blood, undeniable taste of blood.
And I've tasted blood in my mouth a lot over my lifetime.
How long did it last? That experience can last anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes.
It's happened multiple times, Steve, multiple times.
- [Bleep.]
.
- Yeah.
- So anything else? - Yeah.
Uh, I was sitting there, watching TV, and felt something weird.
Just looked up and looked out the window.
And when I looked out the window, at that second pane up on that window right there, was a child's face looking in at me.
Now, when you saw the face, did you think it mighta been some kid in the neighborhood and go out and check.
Um, we don't have any neighborhood kids.
You think you're losing your mind.
You do.
You think you're absolutely going crazy.
Okay.
I'm afraid to even ask what other experiences you've had.
- But, uh - My wife and son had gone out, and I was sitting here on the couch.
And everything was fine.
When I looked up, there was a black [bleep.]
.
There was a black shadow thing standing right here in front of the TV, clear as you are right now in front of me.
I looked right at this thing, and I couldn't see through it.
And it scared me so bad that I I gasped, and I leaned back in the chair, and I looked down.
When I looked back up, it was gone.
You all right? Sounds crazy, dunnit? Your job to protect How do you protect something you can't protect against? AMY: I'm seeing this other guy.
He's a weirdo.
And when I first saw him, he looked like a shadow crawling up the wall, onto the ceiling.
And then he shows me his face.
He just says he's the manager.
I oversee the operations.
He likes the ceilings.
He's all about the ceilings.
They could see him as, like, a translucent male or if they see, like, just a little shadow that moves on the ceilings.
He likes to feel like he's on top of people.
He's always watching everybody.
He's gotta know everything at all [bleep.]
times.
So, Tamee, I understand that you used to live next door here.
- Yes.
- All right.
Lived 140 yards from here.
Okay.
When did you move? - Two years ago.
- Okay.
Why? I had a lot of experiences in the house - that I couldn't explain.
- Okay.
Can you tell me some experiences you had? Um, one of the things that, um, really made me fearful for my life, um, and my children I would get so sick.
So what kind of illnesses are we talking about? I would get horrendous stomach pains often.
- Okay.
- I couldn't stop throwing up.
I hardly could breathe.
And since I've moved, I have not had any stomach problems.
Listened to Melissa today and what she had to say about her health issues.
A lot of it sounds similar to some of the stuff she's going through.
Everybody's health is failing around here, everybody.
Interesting.
Did anything else happen? It seemed our moods and attitudes were affected.
We were very, very angry.
And we're not angry people.
Did you ever bring any, uh, priest or preachers into the house to bless it or anything like that? I did talk to the local tribes.
I was told that this used to be Native American land before white people settled here, that it was soaked with blood and people shouldn't live on this property.
AMY: Well, I don't like it out here.
Hm-mm.
I just hear death.
I think that, if you come here, you're tainted.
How would being here affect the living? It would seem like it could potentially drive people insane.
I don't think it's a good place for anything alive.
And I'm kind of freaked out.
What I'm getting is that, if you enter this space, you're you're kind of, like, doomed.
Melissa mentioned someone got murdered on the original property line.
So I made some calls, and the story checks out.
Only thing is, the cops won't talk to me about it 'cause it's still an open case.
So I'm heading over to meet with a local historian who's looking through the original case files for me to tell me exactly what happened.
What do we know about the victim? - The victim was Vicki Silves.
- Okay.
Vicki was an accountant at a local company.
She was actually married to a gentleman by the name of John Silves.
And here's actually a couple of their wedding photos.
Do we have any idea when they got married? They moved to Concrete in 1996.
And shortly after coming to Concrete, uh, their marriage starts to fall apart.
And then, John ended up moving back to, uh, Port Angeles, where he worked as a trucker.
How's the murder take place? What happened? The morning of December 8, 1997, she had been known to be very prompt to work, and she didn't show up.
So the manager for the company became very concerned and sent a, uh, coworker over to check on her, where he found her dead in her gravel driveway and and then covered her with a blanket.
- Uh, the first attempt - Whoa, whoa.
The coworker covered her with a blanket? - Correct.
- All right.
So he contaminated the crime scene right away.
He did.
I have her, uh, death certificate here that describes her cause of death of acute exsanguination.
So she's stabbed in the neck.
She bleeds out.
Yes.
I was able to get the first 40 pages of the police report on the murder.
What it described was, there was no sign of forcible entry.
The door was opened about 6 to 8 inches.
- All right.
- All the lights were on.
The interesting thing was that she was laying there with a large pool of blood, but her shoes were 20 feet away.
All right.
So, Eric, there's a lot of stuff here.
But do you know when the last time she was seen alive? Yes.
Vicki was seen alive at a party.
There were 4 people that were at that party besides Vicki.
Uh, two actually would become important to this case.
We have Ray Valeton and a Richard Brink.
Vicki had gotten fairly drunk, and Mr.
Brink says that he would take her home.
According to him, when they get there, they did a little more drinking.
And according to him, they'd be kissing one minute, and then she'd be cursing at him the next.
He apparently got uncomfortable with this and left the house about 1:15 in the morning.
He's putting himself at the crime scene.
So what happens next? So the other guy in the party, Ray Valeton, he is the alibi for for Mr.
Brink.
He says he just happens to know that Mr.
Brink came home at 1:30 in the morning.
All right.
That's not much of an alibi.
I would have to say that you're not mistaken.
Okay.
Now, what about the ex-husband? So the ex-husband, John, uh, actually did have a really good alibi.
He had been in Port Angeles when this happened.
Plus, he took a polygraph test and passed.
Okay.
So was anybody arrested and brought to the grand jury on this case? Nobody was ever arrested for this murder.
Wow.
And this is still an open case today? It's an unsolved case today, still open.
As far as I know, there is nobody working the case.
That's a shame.
AMY: Try to get more on the bed lady.
She's so [bleep.]
confused about how she died.
Do you have any idea when this was? It doesn't feel like that long ago.
Even the guys, like, they don't feel that old.
And she died horribly.
The assault is outside, raining, dark.
She was [bleep.]
blindsided.
Up until, really, the [bleep.]
end, she was just like, "What the [bleep.]
?" There's pain, mm, to the left eye, uh, very sharp and then to the head and neck area.
I can't breathe.
What's happening? Like, it's like she's not registering anything.
So I actually managed to track down the victim's estranged husband.
And I've gotta be honest, I was surprised that he was not only willing but excited to talk to me about the case.
So I'm meeting him back at the crime scene, where he wants to tell me what he thinks happened the night his wife was murdered.
So, John, thanks for taking the time to meet with me.
I know this is a pretty touchy subject.
Your wife was murdered right here, - in this building back here.
- Yes.
Why were you willing to talk to me? You were a suspect.
This is 18 years ago.
And this is a cold case.
And nobody's on it.
Nobody's doing anything about it.
And maybe somebody knows something.
So let's get on it.
Let's keep this case going.
Okay.
Now, what kind of woman was she? She was really outgoing.
But Vicki had a jealousy issue.
She accused me of stuff that I never did.
I said, "That's it.
" I said, "Baby," I says, "I'm outta here.
" I says, "I'm gone.
" Okay.
She gets murdered.
How do you get notified? I was in bed.
And, um, there was people beating on the side of my house.
And I got up, went to the door and opened it, and here's a guy standing there with a Skagit County Sheriff's Department jacket on.
Before the night was over, he had told me how much easier it would be if I just confessed.
I said, "Confess to something I never had anything to do with?" So, John, exactly what was your alibi? They found a receipt showing that I was 150 miles away the night of the murder.
Okay.
So, John, you mentioned on the phone that you had a theory about what might have happened to your wife.
- Yeah, I do.
- 'Kay.
What was it? Well, I got this letter.
It was an anonymous letter.
The person who wrote it kind of explains what what happened.
- Vicki was an accountant.
- Okay.
And she evidently uncovered a stealing operation that had been going on for years.
And it involved a lot of money.
I believe she told the wrong person, - and they took her out.
- All right.
This is pretty far-fetched stuff here.
But you think this mighta had something to do with her murder? I think so, yeah.
AMY: The two guys are all in black, all in shadow.
The other guy, like, with the shotgun, you know, he's got, like, some hat on.
He's got, like, a long jacket on.
You know, he strikes me as the type of guy who, in life, obviously held a power position, somewhere like a con artist.
Do you know if these two guys had anything to do with killing the girl? I am going to say she knew these men, uh, and was possibly friends with them.
So they have some sort of relationship with the guy that actually killed her? Yes.
This poor chick, whatever happened was completely unexpected.

STEVE: So far, I've got a couple living in fear on a property connected to an unsolved murder.
But I need to see if there's anything else that could help my investigation.
Searching through old records, I find dozens of people who died of illnesses on my clients' land.
But what really catches my attention is the murder of a Native American less than 300 feet from Melissa's property.
I called my old friend, author Jeff Davis, to look into it for me.
He says this murder was pretty brutal, and it remains unsolved to this day.
So, Jeff, before we get to the murder, who were the Native Americans that inhabited this area? Those people were the Upper Skagit Indian tribe.
And I've got a photo of some.
Now, this was taken, uh, probably in the early 1900s.
So obviously, the Native Americans were displaced by the white settlers at some point.
How did they do that? There were a whole series of battles throughout the Northwest from 1855.
All the way up to the 1900s, - there were still tensions.
- Okay.
So at some point, obviously, they were wiped out.
Exactly.
AMY: There is Native Americans here.
Boy, they don't wanna have anything to do with this [bleep.]
place.
Like, they're It's, like, repulsed, repulsed, very angry.
Anger is a [bleep.]
understatement.
There's a lot of them.
But I think Native Americans here put this barrier up.
What I'm getting from them is that this is contaminated land, and that no living organism should exist here.
All right.
So tensions were high up into the beginning of the 1900s.
Now, I know the homicide happened in 1905.
Now, what do you know about the homicide itself? One of the Native Americans his name was Wapato Joe - went missing.
- Okay.
At this time, he was about 75 years old.
And he seemed to be liked by everybody.
About 2 weeks passed, and then they finally found his body, uh, on the bank of the river.
How far from my clients' property was it? Uh, it was about 300 feet from the property.
How was he murdered? 'Cause the article's kind of vague.
He had been shot through the throat.
Not only that: It was at close range because there were powder burns - Okay.
- Around that.
And the the weirdest thing was that somebody had cut off his hands.
That's a real cold-blooded killing for a to a 75-year-old guy that You know, not bothering anybody.
Did they ever make an arrest on this case? No.
No, nobody was ever arrested.
And from what I can tell, they didn't seem to look very hard for for the killer.
This barrier, it promotes violence and violent acts.
It seems to trap, uh, people who died on this land here.
And I don't know if it pulls people back here who have died elsewhere.
The Native Americans, they would throw crazy people in there.
And then they, like, go mad.
And they're, like, screaming and yelling and hollering.
And they're, like, jumping around all crazy.
And they're just acting like animals.
I saw several dead people during my walk, but the murdered woman stood out the most.
She was probably about my height.
- She had very thin brows.
- Mm-hmm.
It was raining or had been raining 'cause she was completely wet.
Then, I described her wrapping herself around a living woman in the house.
The dead lady is really thin.
She is naked.
And she's gray.
She's covered in mud.
She is kind of coming up behind the living woman and embracing her.
Is this what you saw? Yes, that's what I saw.
STEVE: Now that Amy and I have completed our investigations, we're ready to reveal our findings to each other and our clients for the first time.
When I sat down with Melissa here, the first words out of her mouth were, "I'm terrified to be in my own home.
" She believes that whatever's here is destroying her marriage, her health, and she thinks she's going insane.
This is her husband, Brandon.
Uh, he served with the Navy, and he was with the Marine Corps in Iraq.
He's been to hell and back, basically, but never expected to come home to a war zone in his own house.
They can't afford to leave, but they're not sure they'll survive if they stay.
So now that Amy knows who you guys are, a little bit about what's going on, she's gonna describe her walk for us.
When I first approached the property, I realized your house seems to be located inside some kind of energy barrier.
It seemed very negative and very, very powerful.
There's a lot of dead that are just on the land, who are trapped.
And I was thinking that it would be possible that you guys would hear them talking or hear voices.
I felt nauseous and this illness.
And the people were saying that a lot of them had died from this.
What I kept hearing out there was that we were not supposed to be here.
We've heard children.
Uh, I've heard a man, heard women.
BRANDON: I was sitting on the couch, looked up, and I saw what looked like a child's face.
It almost looked like a hologram projection, a blue and white face looking in the in the glass.
- Okay.
- You mentioned sicknesses, right? - Oh, yeah.
- One of the main reasons we're here is because her health has deteriorated.
A couple months ago, I had an iron infusion.
My blood won't produce iron.
Vocal cord dysfunction, now, all of a sudden, nausea, vomiting.
I was pretty healthy before we moved here.
Wow.
Now, the barrier thing, do you know who put this thing up? Native Americans put up the barrier.
And the reason why was, over a very long period of time, they noticed a pattern.
Some of the men from the tribe would come out here.
And after exposure to this area, they would basically go insane.
So they decided the best thing to do was to block off this land because they felt like it causes mental illness, violent acts.
And what really freaked me out was, any living person who steps onto this land is tainted.
And what they were kind of saying was, "Doomed.
" Yeah, I feel like I'm going crazy.
I spoke to one of Melissa's neighbors.
They used to live here.
Her name was Tamee.
Her and her husband fought a lot here, and she had mysterious stomach pains that she couldn't figure out.
She moved away 2 years ago.
When she moved, she was fine.
Interesting.
Interesting.
Now, when Tamee was living here, she said she went to a local Native American tribe for help.
And they told her, "Too much bloodshed on the land.
We can't help you.
" Really? - Yeah.
- Okay.
Now, let me tell you a little bit of history about what we're sitting on.
This was the Upper Skagit Tribe area.
They were around for about 7,000 to 8,000 years, - apparently, on this land.
- Holy [bleep.]
.
Yeah.
I got a photo of them from the early 1900s.
Now, 1840 is when the white settlers came in.
This is when they started to push these guys out.
After 50 years of fighting, eventually, the white settlers wiped out nearly the entire tribe.
We really have had a run of bad luck since we moved here.
We used to joke and say, "Did we move on Indian burial ground?" Well, it's not a burial ground.
It's kind of their dumping ground.
So what else did you see on the walk? When I got here, I encountered a deceased woman who was murdered.
There were these two men that were constantly with her.
And they were preventing her from speaking to me.
They didn't want me to find out who had killed her.
I felt like she knew these two men.
They were around at the time of her murder, but they didn't directly do it.
And the only thing that I got on the man who killed her was that he did something about, like, stealing money.
I got that it was relatively recent.
Uh, she died a horrible, horrible death.
And I felt extremely sharp pains in the neck and the head.
I mean, it was awful, what he did.
I'm sorry, guys.
I'm having a neck pain.
Yeah.
It's bad here.
This happens a lot to me.
It just comes on out of nowhere.
I taste blood in my mouth.
I feel like I can't breathe.
- I feel like I'm choking.
- You okay? - I'm okay.
- Are you sure? Mm-hmm.
So you guys mentioned there might have been a murder.
Literally, you can throw a rock at where it happened.
So I looked into it, and there was a murder of a woman.
Her name was Vicki Silves.
She and her husband, John, moved next door in 1996.
When they did move here, their marriage quickly went downhill.
And John moved out within a few months.
On December 8, 1997, Vicki failed to show up for work.
So her boss sent a coworker to the house to see if she was around.
When he came here, he found her in the driveway in a pool of her own blood.
Now, you felt neck pain.
She'd been stabbed in the neck multiple times.
I got a hold of the death certificate here.
Now, it's still an open case.
And I was only able to get 40 pages out of a 160-page case folder.
She had been at a party that night, and she was invited there by a guy named Richard Brink.
Apparently, she got drunk.
And this guy, Richard Brink, walks her back to the house.
He admits to the cops that, when he gets there, they start making out.
She was very flirtatious all night.
And then, she'd get violent with him.
And then, she'd be okay again.
Brink told the detectives that he got fed up with her behavior, and he decided to leave.
But he said, he left her, she was alive.
He was never arrested.
I tried tracking him down.
I figured, let me talk to him myself.
Uh, he's dead.
He died in 2003 at the age of 47 of a heart attack.
But the other suspect was the husband, who she was estranged from.
I spoke to him, and he had a really rock-solid alibi.
He was at least 3 hours away the night she was murdered.
He couldn't have been here when the murder went down.
I don't understand why the cops didn't take a closer look at Brink.
But what I found interesting was that, about 18 months after Vicki was murdered, John's mother got an anonymous letter.
Basically said that she was working at a local company, and she found out that people were stealing money.
And she told the wrong person.
And then, they had her killed.
It's still an open case.
This theory is interesting to me, just because of all the different people that this dead female was showing me were involved in her death.
I know her killer is dead because he's here.
You think this is the same person you came across, or you think it's somebody else? I had a sketch done of her.
Take a look at that.
Yeah.
It could be her.
BRANDON: They look similar.
You okay? What do you think when you see that face? Do you know her? I don't know.
Have you felt her in your room, in your bed? I can't breathe.
What I was seeing, that she'll get into the bed, and she'll wrap herself around you.
And the reason why she does that is because she feels safe from the two men.
The problem is is that being in close proximity consistently with a dead person can not only make you extremely sick.
It can also cause you to take on the dead's personality, mannerisms, speech patterns.
Melissa has changed a lot.
I told her just the other night, I said she's not the same woman I married.
She's a completely different person.
Sometimes, it's like living with a stranger.
MELISSA: This woman sat on the end of the bed.
She had, like, a skeleton face.
She said, "You're gonna die," or "Do you wanna die?" I couldn't I couldn't figure it out.
I was too scared.
Okay.
I did have a sketch done of what I saw.
Oh.
[Shudders.]
Yeah.
I know I know that.
I have a a lotta nightmares.
And I feel a lotta pressure on me.
It's like a snake.
BRANDON: She's been complaining of a lot of chest pain lately.
She says it feels like a rubber band's wrapped around her.
She's killing you.
When I sit down at the table at reveals, I will, like, tap the people and scan them.
What I saw around you was death.
When I sit down at the table at reveals, I will, like, tap the people and scan them.
What I saw around you was death.
You have a choice to make here.
I know the choice.
My god.
I can't breathe.
Sweetie, you're a fighter.
Listen, I know you two got more than you bargained for tonight.
Um, the only good news is that you know you're not crazy.
Uh, but to see if there's a way out of this mess, I'm gonna turn it over to Amy.
This is, like, when my job really sucks.
Sometimes, there are those places and locations that just never should have been inhabited.
And this is one of those places.
So, in this situation, for your very survival, you should leave.
And you should leave as soon as possible.
So there's no way of putting up a barrier or anything like that? I mean, the Native Americans knew that this place was was not livable.
And they put their garbage here.
Okay.
So, if she leaves, death would go away.
If you make this choice, yes.
If, for some reason, we can't go I know.
So if she moves away from here, could she be like her friend Tamee, happy and healthy again? Yeah.
Melissa's gotta make the choice to be healthy.
I'd have to send her, and I'd have to stay.
I can't move.
I brought my mother here.
I came back from the war, and my mom wasn't doing too well.
She's kind of wasting away.
She wouldn't be able to leave.
- You know I won't leave you.
- Thank you.
I won't leave, I'll never leave you.
Been with you 22 years, won't leave.
I know it's a lot, but just promise me you'll at least think about - Oh, yeah.
- The advice.
Promise you.
- Okay.
- I understand.
I think Melissa understands, as well, the the gravity of the situation.
We've gone through hell since we've moved here.
But I was hoping there was gonna be a way out.
AMY: The only way Melissa and Brandon can be safe is to move as far away from this land as possible.
If they do that, they'll free themselves of the evil surrounding them and lead a healthy and peaceful life.
