00:01:07Bless your heart.
00:01:08Here we are.
00:01:09Come on in.
00:01:10Oh, thank you.
00:01:11You're welcome.
00:01:13It shuts by itself.
00:01:14Okay.
00:01:15Yeah, we'll shut the door.
00:01:17So this house has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, three car garage out back.
00:01:26Looks like they updated the flooring.
00:01:29Bathrooms are updated.
00:01:31A lot of character.
00:01:32Yeah.
00:01:33This home sits on two beautiful acres and it's all for under $500,000.
00:01:38Yeah.
00:01:39I mean, it's nice.
00:01:41It's a little high for a house that's been on the market this long.
00:01:45You know, a year ago this home sold for $1.2 million.
00:01:50Wow.
00:01:52I'm still, that's a year ago.
00:01:55Well, look, I understand six months on the market is a long time, but it's no fault of
00:02:00its own really.
00:02:02Why is that?
00:02:03Ned and Mary Boyne?
00:02:06No.
00:02:07I'm so familiar.
00:02:12So the neighborhood has not recovered from the investigation.
00:02:15So don't let that scare you off.
00:02:17Investigation?
00:02:18Okay.
00:02:19So this area used to be the hottest home market for years.
00:02:24Everyone wanted to move to the street with all the haunted houses.
00:02:27Homes here were selling faster than I could list them and a line would stretch around the
00:02:32block when a house finally did hit the MLS.
00:02:35That is until the Boynes moved in down the street.
00:02:38You said haunted house is what you just said.
00:02:40Okay.
00:02:41And why is that?
00:02:42Well, most buyers saw their ghosts within a few weeks of settling in.
00:02:47Ned and Mary though, they weren't that lucky.
00:02:50They never saw their ghost.
00:02:52Ned went missing.
00:02:53And there was this huge investigation.
00:02:56And come to find out that Ned was some hedge fund investor.
00:03:00They got caught up in some shady deals.
00:03:02You know, he killed himself.
00:03:04And then Mary turned around and sold the house for pennies on the dollar.
00:03:12And it made the national news.
00:03:13I'm surprised you didn't see it.
00:03:14No.
00:03:15No.
00:03:16Must have been watching something else.
00:03:19So soon after that, the ghost just disappeared.
00:03:24And soon everybody wanted out.
00:03:26And the market values began to plummet.
00:03:28Uh huh.
00:03:29Oh my God.
00:03:30I had no idea.
00:03:31I mean this, this would make a great chapter of my book.
00:03:36It is.
00:03:37I'm sorry.
00:03:38Don't mean to interrupt.
00:03:39What book?
00:03:40Mine actually.
00:03:41I'm writing it now.
00:03:42I'm a folklorist.
00:03:43A folklorist?
00:03:44What's that?
00:03:45It's like a historian.
00:03:46Right?
00:03:47I canonize different cultural traditions and sort of...
00:03:51Oh.
00:03:52Canonize.
00:03:53Yeah.
00:03:54Yeah.
00:03:55Yeah.
00:03:56Well, it's...
00:03:57I've never heard that.
00:03:58It means her house, it means her name isn't on the mortgage.
00:04:01Oh, okay.
00:04:02It's...
00:04:03She's...
00:04:04She's unemployed.
00:04:05Oh.
00:04:06Self-employed.
00:04:07Self-unemployed.
00:04:08It's fine.
00:04:09It's fine.
00:04:10It's great, really.
00:04:11Sorry.
00:04:12It's great.
00:04:13You two just look around.
00:04:14Let me know what you think, okay?
00:04:15I'll be right outside.
00:04:16Thank you very much.
00:04:17Appreciate it.
00:04:18Appreciate it.
00:04:19Thank you very much.
00:04:20Thank you very much.
00:04:21Thank you very much.
00:04:22Wow, Andrew.
00:04:26Why do you...
00:04:28Why do you have to do that?
00:04:30Do what?
00:04:31Every time.
00:04:32Oh, I was just joking.
00:04:33I'm sorry.
00:04:34I'm sorry.
00:04:35Belittle me in front of people?
00:04:36Complete strangers at that?
00:04:37I'm sorry.
00:04:38No, I'm so sick of this shit.
00:04:40You do it every fucking time.
00:04:41I'm sorry.
00:04:42I'm sorry.
00:04:43I'm sorry.
00:04:44I was joking.
00:04:45I know.
00:04:46I'm sorry.
00:04:47I'm sorry.
00:04:48Yeah.
00:04:49You do it every time.
00:04:51I'm sorry.
00:04:52What?
00:04:53What's that?
00:04:54Haunted out ghosts?
00:04:57There's no way she's supposed to tell us all that.
00:04:59I don't know.
00:05:00I'm glad she did.
00:05:01It makes it kind of exciting.
00:05:02Let's look around.
00:05:03Come on.
00:05:04Don't hedge fund suicide yourself on the way to the kitchen.
00:05:08Geez.
00:05:10Where did she go?
00:05:12Is she here still?
00:05:13Okay.
00:05:14Sorry.
00:05:15Alright, take it easy.
00:05:31Oh my God, this place is amazing.
00:05:37Harvey, look at this place.
00:05:43I'm looking.
00:05:50I love it.
00:05:59I got a meeting in an hour.
00:06:07I love it here. I love it.
00:06:14You want to pay half a million dollars to move out here to the sticks?
00:06:19It's so peaceful here.
00:06:22Well, the apartment's peaceful.
00:06:25And they got grocery stores.
00:06:30Can you even call 911 out here?
00:06:37Not to mention police sirens at all hours of the night.
00:06:41And all night.
00:06:48Yeah.
00:06:51Not all hours.
00:07:00Alright, let me drive you home.
00:07:01Okay.
00:07:07I'll be in the car, just don't be long.
00:07:09Okay.
00:07:12You hear that? What is that, crickets?
00:07:14It's like deafening here. You can barely hear myself think.
00:07:20They're cicadas.
00:07:21Okay.
00:07:22Okay, let me just do a little, baby.
00:07:24I love them.
00:07:26Okay.
00:07:27Let's go.
00:07:57I don't know.
00:08:27What is it?
00:08:49Tell me.
00:08:51I don't know.
00:08:54You're going to think it's stupid, so...
00:08:57Lee, I'm late.
00:09:01Can we just skip the drama and you just tell me what it is?
00:09:06Okay.
00:09:10Okay, I want the house.
00:09:12I really do.
00:09:13I want it so badly.
00:09:15It's so beautiful.
00:09:16We've only looked at one house.
00:09:17Are you kidding?
00:09:19You heard the agent.
00:09:20The whole area has no resale value.
00:09:25Hear me out.
00:09:27Without the ghost.
00:09:29What if they come back?
00:09:31I mean...
00:09:32The ghosts?
00:09:35Is that the...
00:09:37Come back from where, exactly?
00:09:44Beetlejuice's waiting room?
00:09:45What the...
00:09:46What are you talking about?
00:09:47Okay, Andrew.
00:09:55This is about your book, isn't it?
00:09:59I...
00:10:00Look, honey, I just can't justify spending our life savings on a house like this.
00:10:09I mean, you're making this decision based on a potential new chapter in your book.
00:10:18A book which, I might add, you only have six months to finish writing.
00:10:22Or what?
00:10:24Hmm?
00:10:25Or what, you'll leave me?
00:10:27Are you going to threaten me again?
00:10:30You're going to be...
00:10:31What?
00:10:31No.
00:10:33Or else you'd go back to being a nurse.
00:10:36And you'd be having a job and retirement and a future.
00:10:40That's...
00:10:40That's what we agreed on.
00:10:41No, you're right.
00:10:44You're right.
00:10:45Six months to finish the book or...
00:10:47Or go back to the hospital.
00:10:50Okay.
00:10:50I heard you.
00:10:54Look, overpaying in a house is going to help you.
00:10:57How, exactly?
00:11:01I don't know.
00:11:03I can't explain it, but...
00:11:07It will...
00:11:08Okay, and...
00:11:09God, honey, I have never asked you for anything.
00:11:14I've never asked you for anything.
00:11:16Ever.
00:11:17You know that.
00:11:19I'm asking you for this now.
00:11:22Please.
00:11:29Oh, no.
00:11:35Okay.
00:11:36And then if I get eaten by a coyote, then there'll be a ghost.
00:11:41Just think about it, okay?
00:11:42Just think.
00:11:43All right.
00:11:45I'll...
00:11:47Fuck.
00:11:48Okay.
00:12:16Okay.
00:12:16Morning.
00:12:41Hey.
00:12:46What are you doing?
00:12:49Nothing for me.
00:12:52Andrew.
00:12:53What?
00:12:55Really?
00:12:58Andrew.
00:12:59It's not ready yet.
00:13:01Well, you got five months.
00:13:05I'm just saying.
00:13:09Do you...
00:13:11Do you like doing that?
00:13:12Do you feel like you have to remind me of that?
00:13:15Sorry.
00:13:16Uh, the parents are coming in tonight.
00:13:22Did she forget?
00:13:27No, I didn't forget.
00:13:30I'm just hoping that we can get through one meal without them comparing me to your ex-wife,
00:13:35that's all.
00:13:36That's...
00:13:37I don't mean to do that.
00:13:38Come on.
00:13:39Really?
00:13:40Because she called me Sarah three times at Christmas.
00:13:43That's not...
00:13:45I was married to Sarah for six years.
00:13:47That's twice as long as we've been married.
00:13:50I mean...
00:13:52Is that supposed to make me feel better?
00:13:56Yes, actually.
00:13:58I'm gonna pick up food on the way back in from work.
00:14:00Just...
00:14:01I don't know.
00:14:02Pour wine.
00:14:03Keep the conversation moving until I get there.
00:14:05No, nothing better.
00:14:13No, nothing better.
00:14:14Uh...
00:14:15Always...
00:14:16Never.
00:14:18Use...
00:14:19Take this one for three minutes.
00:14:21What?
00:14:22All right.
00:14:52Hello?
00:15:15Hello?
00:15:20Hello?
00:15:50Hello?
00:15:57Hello?
00:16:04Hello?
00:16:11Well, I will admit for takeout the food's pretty good.
00:16:26Thanks, Mom.
00:16:33Lee's been burning the candle both ends of the book, so this is just easier for us.
00:16:41The wine's good.
00:16:46That was me.
00:16:48Good.
00:16:49Not great.
00:16:50The wine's good.
00:16:59That was me.
00:17:00Good.
00:17:01Not great.
00:17:02Okay.
00:17:03Thank you for clarifying that.
00:17:05Karen's been clarifying my opinions for me for years.
00:17:10That's why I love her.
00:17:12Well, the house is terrific.
00:17:14Big.
00:17:15Empty.
00:17:16But that could all change if you two decide to settle down and have some children.
00:17:20Have you two talked at all about having another?
00:17:35No.
00:17:36I think it's probably a little too soon for that.
00:17:45Hmm.
00:17:46So, Andrew, how's work going?
00:17:52Uh, it's good.
00:17:53It's good.
00:17:54We're expanding into a couple of new countries, so we could have quite a bit of travel coming
00:18:02up.
00:18:03Oh.
00:18:04The world does need more tall buildings, you know.
00:18:06It sure does.
00:18:07Let's hope.
00:18:08So, Lee, honey, what are you going to do in this big old house all by yourself when Andrew
00:18:14has to travel?
00:18:15Well, um, I was thinking I could, um, I don't know, I could tag along.
00:18:27I see.
00:18:28Yeah, um, you know, if, um, if the book gets published, she could spend some time overseas.
00:18:37Yeah.
00:18:38Thought maybe that could work.
00:18:43Maybe it'll bring up another book idea.
00:18:45Yeah.
00:18:46There you go.
00:18:47And what if it doesn't get published?
00:18:50Well, um, Karen, I think the answer you're looking for is that I just go back to the hospital.
00:18:57Come on, nurse.
00:18:58Oh, we're just talking here.
00:19:00Don't get so defensive.
00:19:02No, I'm not.
00:19:04I'm not.
00:19:05You guys excuse me, please.
00:19:09I'm gonna check on dessert.
00:19:12I'm gonna help her.
00:19:13What?
00:19:14What did I say?
00:19:15Where do I start?
00:19:17Where do I start?
00:19:18Yeah.
00:19:19Jesus!
00:19:20What?
00:19:21What?
00:19:22You scared me.
00:19:23Okay.
00:19:24Sorry.
00:19:25Look, I just...
00:19:26I wanted to apologize for the kids' comment.
00:19:27Why?
00:19:28You're not the one who said it.
00:19:29Well, what is that supposed to mean?
00:19:30What is that supposed to mean?
00:19:31Yeah.
00:19:41Jesus!
00:19:42What?
00:19:43You scared me.
00:19:45Okay, sorry.
00:19:47Look, I just, I...
00:19:50Wanted to apologize for the kids' comment.
00:19:54Why?
00:19:55You're not the one who said it.
00:19:58Well, what is that supposed to mean?
00:19:59It means you don't have to take up for your mom's big mouth every time she decides to open it.
00:20:05I'm sorry.
00:20:06I'm tired.
00:20:10Look, I'm sorry. I'm exhausted.
00:20:12Let's just get through this meal and we can get some sleep.
00:20:18Okay.
00:20:19Fine.
00:20:20Okay.
00:20:21Good job.
00:20:22Okay.
00:20:24Okay.
00:20:25There we go.
00:20:26Let's go.
00:20:27Let's go.
00:20:28Okay.
00:20:30Let's go.
00:20:32Now we're in here.
00:20:34Let's go.
00:20:35I don't know.
00:21:05I don't know.
00:21:35I don't know.
00:21:37I don't know.
00:21:39I don't know.
00:21:41I don't know.
00:21:42What are you working on?
00:21:44Sending an email.
00:21:46Oh yeah, to who?
00:21:48Someone that used to live in the neighborhood.
00:21:52Hmm.
00:21:53It's for a new chapter I'm working on.
00:21:57Hmm.
00:21:58Got anything for it yet?
00:22:00Yeah, I call it the Boyne Effect.
00:22:08I don't know.
00:22:09I think it's kind of great to dig into what happened in this neighborhood.
00:22:13The perception change after all the hauntings.
00:22:17Yeah, that is interesting.
00:22:20I mean, what happened to Ned and Mary is awful.
00:22:25But why the big impact in the rest of the houses on the street?
00:22:28I mean, no one really knew who they were.
00:22:34I don't know.
00:22:41Maybe they all got together and decided they'd had enough.
00:22:46You mean the neighbors?
00:22:49I mean ghosts.
00:22:50Okay.
00:22:51Well...
00:22:52This house...
00:22:53That's not funny.
00:22:54...is clear.
00:22:55This is a joke.
00:22:56Sorry.
00:22:57Jeez.
00:22:58All right.
00:22:59Look, it's late.
00:23:00I got an early morning, so I'm gonna go ahead and crash, I guess.
00:23:04Good night.
00:23:23What if you call it Boynes in the Hood?
00:23:36Oh, God.
00:23:53What if you call it Boynes in the Hood?
00:24:19What if you call it Boynes?
00:24:33What if you call it Boynes in the Hood?
00:25:38What are you doing?
00:26:01Oh, Andrew.
00:26:07Oh, Jesus.
00:26:12What's happening?
00:26:14Nothing.
00:26:15I came out here.
00:26:17I thought I saw this.
00:26:20This what?
00:26:21You didn't hear that?
00:26:25Hear what?
00:26:30There was this...
00:26:32There was this...
00:26:34This child's toy.
00:26:36Okay.
00:26:41Okay.
00:26:42Back to bed.
00:26:43Let's go.
00:26:44You coming?
00:26:48Luke, there's nothing out here.
00:26:51Okay.
00:26:54Come on.
00:26:55I thought I must have dreamed it.
00:26:59Yep.
00:26:59Probably.
00:27:00Let's go.
00:27:00Let's go.
00:27:00Let's go.
00:27:09Let's go.
00:27:10Let's go.
00:27:10Let's go.
00:27:10Let's go.
00:27:12I don't know what this is.
00:27:42I'm coming.
00:27:49Lee?
00:27:51Trina Boyne?
00:27:52Yeah.
00:27:54I got your email.
00:27:56Right.
00:27:57Right!
00:27:57No, please, please, go on in.
00:28:01I'm so sorry about earlier.
00:28:02I've had a long night.
00:28:05Yeah, don't worry about it.
00:28:06Move into this neighborhood.
00:28:07I believe it.
00:28:08I really appreciate you coming.
00:28:14I'm writing a book.
00:28:15Just wanted to see if you could tell me a little bit about the area.
00:28:19You're a writer.
00:28:20Well, folklorist.
00:28:24What's that?
00:28:26It's like someone who researches different traditions and then preserves them.
00:28:32In my case, I'm writing a book.
00:28:35I see.
00:28:36So, what do you want to know?
00:28:38What can you tell me about Mary Boyne?
00:28:49Mary and I, we never really saw eye die until after my brother left.
00:28:57Left?
00:28:58You mean disappeared, right?
00:29:01Okay, let's just call a spade a spade after he died.
00:29:04Mary moved out of the house, and we kept in touch for a little while after that.
00:29:13What happened exactly?
00:29:16I'm not sure.
00:29:17I heard she checked into a mental health facility.
00:29:21I think in the end, the house kind of pushed her over the edge.
00:29:28And then?
00:29:32He shot himself.
00:29:33There was a detective who was in charge of the case.
00:29:38You could probably get in touch with him, get your hands on the police report, get all
00:29:44the gory details.
00:29:45What kind of book are you writing exactly?
00:29:49It's a variety of things, really, but I'm writing a chapter on the ghost here.
00:29:55I thought they left.
00:29:59I mean, I never really understood the whole living in a haunted house thing.
00:30:04Rich people, man.
00:30:06But to each their own.
00:30:08What do you mean exactly?
00:30:10Well, look at Mary, for example.
00:30:12She just had to live in this neighborhood.
00:30:14Then the ghost thing, it, you know, drives her nuts.
00:30:17Ned dies.
00:30:18And then she and all the other rich assholes just up and leave.
00:30:25Why aren't you telling me?
00:30:29Jesus, you're going to think I'm crazy.
00:30:34You know, last night I, um, I saw something.
00:30:39I'm not sure it was a coincidence either.
00:30:42What was it?
00:30:47Strange.
00:30:48I was asleep and I heard this noise here in the living room.
00:30:56And when I came out, there was this, there was this children's toy.
00:31:05And it was on.
00:31:08And when I went to, to turn it off, the thing just turned back on by itself.
00:31:15Well, maybe someone just left it out here by accident.
00:31:18No, see, that's the thing.
00:31:19I don't have children.
00:31:21And when my husband came out and found me,
00:31:24the toy, it vanished.
00:31:30I mean, it was gone.
00:31:34So, you, what, think you have a ghost now?
00:31:41Maybe, I don't know.
00:31:44All right, okay, let me get this straight.
00:31:45You buy this house to write a chapter in a book about the ghosts that have left.
00:31:51And now you're all of a sudden seeing things.
00:31:56I know this all sounds, but I get it.
00:32:04But what if I can bring them back?
00:32:10How?
00:32:14I'm not sure.
00:32:15I just, I feel like by me being here,
00:32:19I can at least find out why they left.
00:32:25This is ridiculous.
00:32:26Wait, I'm sorry.
00:32:28I know this is great.
00:32:29No, you're no different than Mary.
00:32:31I'm just trying to help.
00:32:35Help who?
00:32:38Did you ever stop to think that maybe they wanted to leave the ghosts?
00:32:42Move on?
00:32:43Find peace?
00:32:44Ned included?
00:32:45Yeah, my brother is dead.
00:32:48I understand.
00:32:49I'm so sorry.
00:32:51No folklore.
00:32:53It's worth having to bury someone you love.
00:32:58Before you go, please.
00:33:00The detective you mentioned?
00:33:01How can I get a hold of him?
00:33:06Okay.
00:33:08Get a phone number.
00:33:10Yeah, sure.
00:33:10Get a peed.
00:33:11I'm not sure.
00:33:12I'm not sure.
00:33:16I'm sorry.
00:33:19I'm sorry.
00:33:32Don't you say that.
00:33:34I'm sorry.
00:33:34I'm sorry.
00:35:05Listen, thanks for coming. I really appreciate it.
00:35:11It's fine. Retired life is not eventful.
00:35:15I'd rather get out of the house.
00:35:18Your message said you want to talk about the Ned Boyne case?
00:35:21Yeah, well, not just that.
00:35:26I heard you might have some insight into what's happened here.
00:35:31In the neighborhood.
00:35:32It's a ghost. How they suddenly just up and left.
00:35:43Can I ask? Why the sudden interest?
00:35:46Right. Well, it's research for my book.
00:35:53Well, they were like everyone else that comes to this neighborhood.
00:35:58The difference is they never saw that ghost once they moved in.
00:36:02It drove Mary insane. And believe me, she looked everywhere for it.
00:36:05So how did you get involved?
00:36:11When Ned was missing, I was assigned the case.
00:36:14Right.
00:36:17What can you tell me about Mary Boyne?
00:36:19She was sad.
00:36:25She always kept tulips in the house.
00:36:30What about you?
00:36:32Did you ever see your ghost?
00:36:34Well, yeah. I lived nearby.
00:36:37We had a ghost for years.
00:36:38Mr. Green.
00:36:41But then,
00:36:42he left too around the time everyone else said their ghost
00:36:45weren't coming around as often.
00:36:50Why do you think that started happening?
00:36:53In my opinion,
00:36:55I think it was that murder that drove my way.
00:36:58No, I'm no expert in paranormal.
00:37:00I think the ghost took offense once that little girl was murdered.
00:37:04Something wrong?
00:37:08Yeah, you said little girl.
00:37:12I thought Ned Boyne's death is what drove the ghost away.
00:37:16Well, Ned died first.
00:37:17But the ghost stuck around after that.
00:37:20In fact,
00:37:21the people that bought the Boyne estate after Mary left,
00:37:24they interacted with this ghost for months afterwards.
00:37:28Okay.
00:37:31Okay, so...
00:37:32So what, little girl?
00:37:35I don't know.
00:37:39I don't know.
00:37:42Let's go outside.
00:37:43It was a hit and run.
00:37:47They just widened that street.
00:37:49I'm sure if someone told me they were making an improvement.
00:37:52But now when it rains,
00:37:54that new angle,
00:37:55and those sodium lights,
00:37:57it's blinding that turn there.
00:37:58Oh, my God,
00:38:00she was killed?
00:38:01Eight o'clock at night.
00:38:03The family was devastated.
00:38:06No community, really.
00:38:08But so soon after Ned Boyne's death,
00:38:10reputation in this place changed,
00:38:12and the ghost just left.
00:38:13And you never found who killed her or
00:38:17solved the case?
00:38:19It was my last five before I cashed into my pension,
00:38:22so no.
00:38:24Maybe I had six more months.
00:38:26I know.
00:38:29So where did she live?
00:38:32Anna Lowe.
00:38:33All right, so in Texas,
00:38:47the law states that a seller or a seller's agent
00:38:49is actually not required to disclose
00:38:51a death due to natural causes,
00:38:54suicide, or anything that does not pertain
00:38:55to the property's condition.
00:38:57So say if somebody dies from,
00:38:58I don't know, old age or a heart attack,
00:39:01they don't have to tell us that information.
00:39:04Right, but you said she was hit by a car.
00:39:06Yes, exactly.
00:39:07That proves my point even further.
00:39:08I mean, it didn't happen on the property,
00:39:10so therefore the seller did not tell us.
00:39:15And she used to live here?
00:39:18Yes.
00:39:20So I went to the Dietz office,
00:39:22and I got a history.
00:39:24It's all there.
00:39:24Read it.
00:39:25I mean, it's...
00:39:26This is crazy.
00:39:29All right, hold on.
00:39:31So you think
00:39:34that this Anna Lowe
00:39:36was killed
00:39:39and then because
00:39:41no one ever solved
00:39:43the crime,
00:39:46all the ghosts
00:39:48just walked away?
00:39:51Yes, Andrew.
00:39:53That is exactly what I'm saying.
00:39:57Why?
00:39:57I don't know, honey.
00:40:00I don't know.
00:40:01And hold on.
00:40:03Who is this cop you've been talking to?
00:40:05He's a detective.
00:40:06He's a detective.
00:40:07He was on the case when it happened,
00:40:08and he's retired now,
00:40:10but he told me that the Anna Lowe case
00:40:11was never solved.
00:40:16Okay.
00:40:17Well, uh...
00:40:18You know,
00:40:19I think this is all kind of a stretch.
00:40:23Stretch?
00:40:24It's all there.
00:40:25Read it.
00:40:25How could you say that?
00:40:26Read it.
00:40:30Because...
00:40:30Why would...
00:40:32I can't...
00:40:32I can't...
00:40:33I can't believe I'm having this conversation,
00:40:35but why
00:40:35would a bunch of random ghosts
00:40:38care about some little girl?
00:40:42I don't know why.
00:40:43Okay?
00:40:44Maybe because
00:40:45their deaths were all accounted for
00:40:46and hers wasn't.
00:40:48I don't know.
00:40:48Or maybe...
00:40:49Maybe due to the fact that...
00:40:50that they never found the driver.
00:40:52I don't know yet.
00:40:53Okay?
00:40:53I'm gonna find out.
00:40:55Wait.
00:40:55You don't know yet?
00:40:58Lee,
00:40:59holy...
00:40:59Look,
00:41:00it's...
00:41:02Oh, my gosh.
00:41:05It's been a really long day,
00:41:07and I am
00:41:08all for,
00:41:10believe me,
00:41:11listening to the bullet points
00:41:12of your new chapter
00:41:13for your book,
00:41:14but this
00:41:14Nancy Drew crap
00:41:16is giving me a bigger headache
00:41:17than I already had,
00:41:18and I just...
00:41:19It's not what we agreed on at all.
00:41:21Well, okay, um,
00:41:31I saw her
00:41:33in the house today.
00:41:40I was in the shower,
00:41:42and I saw her
00:41:43in the hall.
00:41:47Hi.
00:41:48And how did you know
00:41:59it was this Anna Lowe?
00:42:01I just know.
00:42:08Honey,
00:42:10you don't know
00:42:13anything.
00:42:15Okay.
00:42:18Here we go.
00:42:22Look,
00:42:22you are running out of time
00:42:23for this book thing,
00:42:25and...
00:42:27if you want my suggestion,
00:42:29I think you should focus
00:42:30on finishing that
00:42:31instead of chasing ghosts
00:42:32all over the house.
00:42:33I'm going to bed.
00:42:47Good night.
00:42:48Good night.
00:42:48and...
00:42:49good night.
00:43:06And it was a video that someone posted online on that internet site.
00:43:25What was that again?
00:43:26Are you talking about YouTube?
00:43:28That's it.
00:43:29And these two women were fighting.
00:43:32I mean, some real Jerry Springer-type stuff.
00:43:35And they were, you know, screaming for no reason.
00:43:41They had to have a reason?
00:43:43Well, even if they did, I don't know what it was.
00:43:46But this one girl knocked the other one out.
00:43:49And no one helps.
00:43:51Everyone's just filming the fight.
00:43:54So, you know, most of them are middle-aged people in the way.
00:43:58Oh, middle-aged people can't fight.
00:44:00Really?
00:44:01What are you going to do with the girl now?
00:44:03Good.
00:44:18Geez.
00:44:21Sorry.
00:44:23I'm fine.
00:44:24Everything's fine.
00:44:24Will you guys excuse me for a second?
00:44:36Hello?
00:44:40Anna?
00:44:54Anna, if that's you, you don't have to be afraid, okay?
00:44:59I'm just trying to help you.
00:45:01Anna.
00:45:04What are you doing?
00:45:07Nothing. I thought I heard something.
00:45:13All right, well, Mom and Dad are getting ready to leave.
00:45:15Do you want to come see them off?
00:45:18Yeah.
00:45:20Yeah, sure. I'll be right there.
00:45:22All right, don't be long.
00:45:52You're mad.
00:46:11I'm not mad.
00:46:12Yes, you are.
00:46:18You always just sit there and stare at me until I ask you what's wrong, you say nothing,
00:46:25and then we argue all right, Andrew, so can we just please get it over with?
00:46:31I want to renegotiate the terms of our deal.
00:46:47What do you mean?
00:47:00Meaning?
00:47:04I think you should stop writing.
00:47:08Do you?
00:47:09Andrew, I told you I wasn't ready to do that yet, and there's no way I'm giving up on this book.
00:47:32This is your mom talking.
00:47:38Oh, really?
00:47:40Yeah.
00:47:41The comments she makes?
00:47:43She thinks I'm worthless.
00:47:45That's not fair.
00:47:47She wants to be a grandparent.
00:47:49I'm her only child.
00:47:53That's not my fault.
00:47:55You know what?
00:48:02When our baby died, I cried more than anyone else, including your mother.
00:48:13And I didn't take it out on anyone else.
00:48:16Really?
00:48:18Are you sure?
00:48:21Kind of seems like you took it out on me.
00:48:22We haven't had sex in three months.
00:48:24Oh, so this is about having sex.
00:48:28Should have known.
00:48:30This is fucking bullshit.
00:48:32Where are you going?
00:48:33I'm going to the spare room.
00:48:35Great.
00:48:35No.
00:48:37Right away from a discussion.
00:48:38You do it all the time.
00:48:43No, this isn't a discussion, Lee.
00:48:46I want you to stop writing that book.
00:48:51And you need to go back to work.
00:48:57Because it was a long time ago.
00:48:58But you loved going to the hospital.
00:49:01You fucking loved it.
00:49:03I couldn't believe it.
00:49:04I was jealous.
00:49:05Because I couldn't imagine what it would feel like to care about my job that much.
00:49:09And then some kid comes in with a couple bullet wounds.
00:49:15Don't do that!
00:49:16And dies in your arms.
00:49:18And you gave up on everything!
00:49:21That's what you think this is about, huh?
00:49:29I'm trying to save Anna Lowe?
00:49:31To what?
00:49:31To make up for that?
00:49:33Yeah.
00:49:34I do.
00:49:36You're fucking ridiculous.
00:49:41Lee.
00:49:43Look at me.
00:49:44If you can't let this go, and give up on this book, I'm just going to have to do what
00:49:58I have to do, okay?
00:50:00For myself.
00:50:05Okay.
00:50:08That's really how you feel, then okay?
00:50:10I'm sorry, honey.
00:50:14I just, I can't see any other way to do it.
00:50:17Okay?
00:50:18Really?
00:50:19Okay.
00:50:21For fucking sakes.
00:50:25You know, that little boy dying on my watch, that shit's going to live with me forever.
00:50:31You're right.
00:50:34Along with...
00:50:36Along with our baby dying in that hospital.
00:50:42And everything else that I couldn't prevent.
00:50:46That's...
00:50:47This...
00:50:47This is about you.
00:50:50This isn't about any of that.
00:50:52This is about you thinking,
00:50:55I don't feel badly enough for you.
00:51:04Yeah.
00:51:05Maybe you're right.
00:51:23I'm finishing the book, Andrew.
00:51:26Great.
00:51:27Have a good night.
00:51:28Have a good night.
00:51:35You look tired.
00:51:51Yeah, well, it's late night.
00:51:55Everything all right?
00:51:57Yeah, I'm fine.
00:51:59What did you find out?
00:52:00After we talked, I called an old friend at the office.
00:52:05She said that Anna Lowe's autopsy was unsealed after the investigation into her murder.
00:52:09And she emailed me a copy of this.
00:52:16Head and run.
00:52:17And based off a body, it's impossible to tell the maker model of the car.
00:52:22However, the tire tracks, that's a whole different ballgame.
00:52:25They never found out who'd hit her?
00:52:28Now, based on the tracks, they've narrowed it down to two models.
00:52:32Did the police ever look into this?
00:52:33I mean, it couldn't have been that difficult to track down.
00:52:36What do you mean?
00:52:37Right here in her autopsy, it says that she was hit so hard during the accident that the car's paint color actually rubbed off onto her skin.
00:52:47Doesn't the city have a BCI team that handles this?
00:52:49They did.
00:52:51But no one in town was driving this custom-colored hand-rub Mercedes SL500.
00:52:56And no one got a look at the license plates.
00:53:00Shit.
00:53:00What about rental car companies?
00:53:07Did your office ever look into that?
00:53:09You could get a report.
00:53:11See if any of the, you know, cars during the time of Anna's death match a description.
00:53:18I'll work on it.
00:53:21You know, it feels good to match the game.
00:53:25If this author gate doesn't work out, you should put a job in my old office.
00:53:28I don't think so.
00:53:31What about you telling me?
00:53:38You know, I've seen Anna Lo.
00:53:40More than once.
00:53:42Really?
00:53:43Where?
00:53:46Right here, in this house.
00:53:48I think she's trying to tell me something.
00:53:50Like what?
00:53:52I don't know.
00:53:55But I'm going to find out.
00:53:58Okay, I'll work on this car thing.
00:54:00You stay by the phone.
00:54:03Thank you, detective.
00:54:05Don't go thinking of it yet.
00:54:06No, I don't mean for that.
00:54:08I mean...
00:54:09We're not thinking I was crazy.
00:54:14Trust me.
00:54:15Some of the shit I see in this town,
00:54:18nothing surprises me anymore.
00:54:19I don't know.
00:54:21I don't know.
00:54:51I don't know.
00:55:21What is that?
00:55:25Where did you find that?
00:55:28Did you find any?
00:55:29I don't know.
00:55:59Where did you find that?
00:56:05I asked you a question.
00:56:20Is it yours?
00:56:23Of course it's mine.
00:56:29That lasted the day we moved in here.
00:56:37So again, where did you find it?
00:56:39In the back yard.
00:56:45In the back yard.
00:56:50Do you have any idea how it got back there?
00:56:52Do you tell me?
00:56:58Do you tell me?
00:57:09Honey, I don't know what this is and I don't care.
00:57:12Okay, all I want to know is, are you still messing with that book?
00:57:23Oh, Andrew.
00:57:26You didn't lose that ring.
00:57:28I just told you I lost the fucking ring the day we moved into this house.
00:57:32Okay?
00:57:33This perfect house that I didn't want to buy in the first place.
00:57:36What if I told you that Anna Lowe gave me this ring?
00:57:46Hmm?
00:57:48I saw her in the backyard.
00:57:51Placed it in my hand.
00:57:52This ring.
00:57:54This ring.
00:57:55Your ring.
00:57:57Why would she do that?
00:58:03Honey, are you listening to yourself?
00:58:09Look, all you do is you sit around the house and you chase the memory of a ghost around all day.
00:58:14I think this has to stop.
00:58:16You're starting to sound...
00:58:17Crazy.
00:58:19Right?
00:58:21Yeah.
00:58:22Hey, man.
00:58:38Yeah.
00:58:38Nope.
00:58:39No, no.
00:58:40No, you're never interrupting anything over here.
00:58:42Don't worry about it.
00:58:47Let me ask you something.
00:58:47Do your wife ever...
00:58:48Never mind.
00:58:49Never mind.
00:58:49No, yeah.
00:58:49I'll just talk to you.
00:58:50I'll talk to you.
00:58:51I'll talk to you Monday.
00:58:52Yeah.
00:58:52All right.
00:58:58Have you been sleeping?
00:59:01What makes you ask that?
00:59:03Of course, I have it.
00:59:05I've seen people try to do what I do and live a normal life in the process.
00:59:10Trust me.
00:59:11This work is hard on you and everyone around you.
00:59:15You know, Andrew and I have been, uh, fighting.
00:59:24About Anna?
00:59:26Yep.
00:59:27Yep.
00:59:28I want to show you something, but I want you to prepare yourself.
00:59:34Did you find a match in the car?
00:59:36Well, I called the rental car agencies and the riser companies.
00:59:42They were open when Anna was alive.
00:59:44First, I couldn't find anything worthwhile, but then I found this.
00:59:50There was a car rental the night before Anna died.
00:59:54A Mercedes SL500.
00:59:57It was returning in good condition to the rental car company.
01:00:02But then the management knows that the steering was veering to the left.
01:00:06Here, the mechanic opened it up, so some repair is done to the front end by the renter before he turned it in.
01:00:11They were trying to cover up the accident.
01:00:14There's more.
01:00:16Renter information is proprietary, so I have my friend issue an affidavit so I can see the name of the renter.
01:00:24Okay.
01:00:41Are you sure about this?
01:00:43I wish I wasn't.
01:01:11What the hell are you doing?
01:01:39I found the code to the safe in your phone.
01:01:46Okay, but you're pointing a gun at me.
01:01:51Do you want to tell me why?
01:02:01I want you to read that.
01:02:07Okay.
01:02:12Lee, put the gun down.
01:02:18I mean, is this about your book?
01:02:21I want you to tell me the truth.
01:02:23Lee, baby.
01:02:24Put the gun down, and we can talk.
01:02:27Put that fucking gun down right now!
01:02:39Are you fucking kidding me?
01:02:42Fuck!
01:02:43You come at me with a loaded gun?
01:02:48What the hell is wrong with you?
01:02:51Huh?
01:02:52You killed her.
01:02:53You killed her.
01:02:55I killed who?
01:02:58What are you talking about?
01:03:00That's...
01:03:01You see, I figured it out that that's why you didn't want to buy this house.
01:03:06I didn't want to buy this house because I knew we couldn't get money for it if we wanted to sell it.
01:03:13What?
01:03:14Don't lie to me.
01:03:15In a low?
01:03:16Huh?
01:03:17She was hit by a car.
01:03:20A green Mercedes SL 500.
01:03:24The same car that you rented when a house was in the shop.
01:03:30Do you remember that?
01:03:31I do.
01:03:32The same SL that you fled from the scene and then later had repaired so that no one found out it was you.
01:03:45Okay.
01:03:47Uh, uh.
01:03:49Who told you that?
01:03:51Honey.
01:03:52Does it matter?
01:03:55Is it true?
01:03:56Yes.
01:03:57Or no.
01:03:58She was running around the street.
01:03:59Oh my God.
01:04:01Add to that the light.
01:04:18And the angle.
01:04:19And the rain.
01:04:20I mean, who lets their kid run in the street at night in the rain?
01:04:25You didn't.
01:04:26You didn't.
01:04:27You didn't stop to help her?
01:04:32No.
01:04:33No.
01:04:34I didn't stop.
01:04:35No.
01:04:36I didn't stop.
01:04:37What is wrong with you?
01:04:38She's a little girl.
01:04:39How could you not stop?
01:04:41Because I had been drinking.
01:04:42I stopped for dinner with a client.
01:04:44And I knew if I called it in that they...
01:04:45I knew I wasn't gonna pass a field sobriety test, so...
01:04:46So you let her die?
01:04:47I didn't know if she was gonna die.
01:04:49I was trying to go ahead and come out of it.
01:04:50I knew she would pass a field sobriety tests, and I didn't know if she would die.
01:04:54A bad woman said...
01:04:55No.
01:04:56A bad woman said I was gonna die.
01:04:57What is wrong with you?
01:04:58She's a little girl.
01:04:59How could you not stop?
01:05:00What is wrong with you?
01:05:01She's a little girl?
01:05:02How could you not stop?
01:05:03I stopped for dinner with a client.
01:05:05I knew if I called it in that I knew I wasn't going to pass a field sobriety test, so...
01:05:12So you let her die?
01:05:14I didn't know she was going to die.
01:05:17I was trying to save my life.
01:05:19I was trying to save our lives.
01:05:23You could have...
01:05:25You could have saved her.
01:05:26You don't know that.
01:05:29I was trying to make sure I didn't spend the rest of my life in jail.
01:05:34And you were pregnant at the time.
01:05:35I was thinking of the baby.
01:05:36Don't.
01:05:39Don't do that.
01:05:40Don't you dare bring our baby into this.
01:05:43My baby into this.
01:05:49What do you want me to do about it now?
01:05:54I want you to turn yourself into the police.
01:05:57What?
01:06:00Honey, I can't do that.
01:06:04You don't have any other choice.
01:06:06You have to turn yourself in.
01:06:08It's the right thing to do.
01:06:10My God, what is wrong with you?
01:06:11I have one other choice.
01:06:19Oh.
01:06:20What are you going to do?
01:06:22You're going to kill me too?
01:06:23Hmm?
01:06:24You're going to turn me into a ghost?
01:06:26Andrew, please.
01:06:31Okay?
01:06:31If you ever loved me...
01:06:32This isn't about love, honey.
01:06:37This is about me not spending the rest of my life in jail.
01:06:45Please go back into the bedroom right now.
01:06:49You're fucking trash.
01:06:53Great.
01:07:03Take your time.
01:07:04No rush.
01:07:05Fuck.
01:07:13Hey.
01:07:14Hey.
01:07:25I don't care.
01:07:26Just get here now.
01:07:28Yes, now.
01:07:30Lee, open the door, please.
01:07:32Right now.
01:07:35Lee, open the fucking door!
01:07:37I'm not asking!
01:07:47Lee, open the door.
01:07:51Honey, look.
01:07:52It's going to be okay, but you got to trust me.
01:07:54You got to let me in.
01:08:07Anna?
01:08:22It's not possible.
01:08:33Why, huh?
01:08:37Because ghosts aren't real.
01:08:47What are you going to do, honey?
01:08:48Are you going to shoot me?
01:08:51Yeah.
01:08:55Your only...
01:08:58witness is a ghost.
01:09:01Dead girl?
01:09:02How's that going to work?
01:09:03I didn't do anything to you.
01:09:08Why?
01:09:08You didn't do it to me.
01:09:11But you killed it alone.
01:09:15You killed her.
01:09:18Yeah, so soon.
01:09:22You?
01:09:24You and your fucking book.
01:09:25I have the evidence, Andrew.
01:09:32Okay?
01:09:33You can't...
01:09:35You can't manipulate your way out of this.
01:09:38I...
01:09:39I know it's you.
01:09:42I caught you.
01:09:45You know what?
01:09:46My mom's right.
01:09:48You're always trying to save people.
01:09:50But you can't save shit.
01:09:51You can't save that boy in the hospital.
01:09:53You sure can't save our fucking child.
01:09:56And you...
01:09:57Are no good to anyone.
01:09:58You are worthless!
01:09:59Jack!
01:10:00He has eight months left!
01:10:01He has eight months left.
01:10:05He came three months left.
01:10:07Once he died, he's been David.
01:10:08He's been Israel's everything.
01:10:09He's dying to be here.
01:10:10I've never seen anything.
01:10:11He failed to be there.
01:10:13He failed to be more and more than an upset.
01:10:14He failed to be.
01:10:15Josh!
01:10:16He failed to be here if he was doing a bad thing.
01:10:18He failed to go next.
01:10:19And he failed to stay there too.
01:10:21He failed to stay on the other day.
01:10:23He was doing a bad thing to see him.
01:10:24Shhh.
01:10:29Shhh.
01:10:34Shhh.
01:10:39Shhh.
01:11:06You alright?
01:11:08No, I don't think so.
01:11:12I'm just gonna take them time to fix, okay?
01:11:15I've called the police. They'll be here shortly.
01:11:18It's important you tell them exactly what happened.
01:11:21Possible as that may sound.
01:11:23I'll stay with you until they arrive.
01:11:30Really, I... for everything.
01:11:34I'm glad to help.
01:11:37You gave me a real sense of purpose the last few weeks.
01:11:40You're sad for it to end.
01:11:44What's gonna happen to me?
01:11:47Self-defense, right?
01:11:48Self-defense, right?
01:11:54I've got to work.
01:11:57That's my favorite part of the story.
01:11:59It's okay.
01:12:00It's a beautiful place.
01:12:02I've got a real nice place.
01:12:04We're we're starting to be ready.
01:12:05You go out about it.
01:12:06It's pretty good.
01:12:07You can't touch it.
01:12:08You can't touch it.
01:12:09You can't touch it.
01:12:40Hello, Anna.
01:12:50I know it's been a while since we last spoke.
01:12:55I just wanted to say thank you.
01:13:02I wrote a whole book about you.
01:13:05Maybe when it's finished, I can leave a copy for you somewhere.
01:13:10I really enjoyed getting to know you, even if it is under these circumstances.
01:13:23They're coming back now.
01:13:26Who is?
01:13:27The ghost.
01:13:28All of them.
01:13:31All of them.
