Honey...
you gotta come see this.
I'm gonna go.
I'm taking Violet and going to Jo's.
Florida?
I want to get there before
the school year starts.
I don't understand.
What about Los Angeles?
I thought we agreed about the fresh start.
I just can't.
- We really tried.
- We haven't tried.
- I can't do it anymore.
- Therapy isn't trying.
It's just figuring stuff out,
so you can really do something.
I've tried.
And as much as I keep trying
to let you in again...
this wall comes up...
and I-I can't- I can't get past it.
Just look at this house.
Look at this house I found.
It's right near Hancock Park, where all
those big mansions from the '20s are.
You always talked
about how much you wanted...
a house like this- one with personality.
- Well, here it is.
- You don't listen.
A house isn't gonna fix it, Ben.
It's just a house, Viv. Come on.
Take a look.
It's nice, right?
Tiffany lamps and everything.
I don't know.
Maybe it's haunted or something.
I mean, it's still a stretch
at that price...
but it's been on the market for a while,
so maybe they'll go lower.
There's even an office,
so I can see patients at home.
I mean, it's perfect.
No.
Honey-
Honey, the reason you can't hold on
to this idea of leaving...
is because it's not what you want.
I-I've been looking
at houses for a month...
and when I found this one,
I swear to God, it was like a-
It was like a laser beam
shot right into my brain.
I could see it all so clearly.
It was like a movie in my mind.
We were together-
you, me and Violet- all around the fire.
Violet was reading some
depressing Russian novel...
and I was stoking the fire,
and you were on the couch,
rocking a baby.
- Honey-
- [ Sniffles ]
we have made so many life choices...
based on our gut, and right now...
my gut is telling me that this place...
this house, is gonna-
It's gonna break down
that wall inside you.
I'm sure it's a beautiful house.
I love you so much.
I'm begging you.
Just come see the house.
The three of us will fly out.
Just come see it.
When I look at this place...
for the first time I feel
like there's hope.
Vivien?
Vivien!
Violet!
Vivien!
[Ben's Voice]
Where are you, Vivien?
Vivien!
[Ben's Voice]
Where are you?
[ Constance ]
We weren't expecting you until tomorrow.
After the service.
I know, but I can't impose
on you like this, Constance.
Don't be silly. Looking after this little
angel is no imposition whatsoever.
And I wouldn't think of burdening you...
with the care of a newborn
during this time of your...
unspeakable tragedy.
Thank you, but Vivien's sister
is here now, so-
Oh, I see.
[ Chuckles ]
What a blessing distant relations are
in times of trouble.
- If I could just get his things-
- Certainly, uh-
Though it is nearly his lunchtime.
I know. Why don't I feed him?
He'll fall right asleep...
and then you can come back
in several hours.
- I can feed him.
- It's really no trouble at all.
I'm here to get my son, Constance.
Your son, of course.
Let me just gather up his things.
This formula has to be warmed up.
- You have to run it
under the hot water tap.
- I'll be fine.
No, I don't believe you will,
nor will that child...
if you take him back into that house.
- Just give me his things.
- Dr. Harmon, hear me.
There are forces in that house
that mean to do this child grave harm.
We both know that it's true.
The same forces
that killed your sweet wife.
Oh, and what about your daughter?
Tell me, Dr. Harmon,
did you buy a casket for Violet too?
If that house can claim her spirit...
what's going to happen
to this sweet little baby?
- The baby's gonna be fine.
- You are a fool!
After everything that you've seen-
[ Baby Crying ]
after everything that has happened-
how can you still be so blind?
- [ Constance ] Hello?
- Hey, it's Ben Harmon, Tate's therapist.
Yeah, I'm calling because
I can't treat your son anymore.
I'd like to give you the number of another
psychiatrist who I think could help him.
Oh, no, but why, Doctor?
Because your son has crossed
a line with my daughter.
- Oh, but-
- I'm so sorry.
Where is he?
In his grave.
Where he's been
longer than he lived on this earth.
You destroyed my family. You!
You are paying
for your own sins, Dr. Harmon.
Let me give you some advice.
When I leave here, lock your door...
and pray I don't come back.
Hmm.
[ Door Slams ]
I wonder- How is your adjustment going?
One of the hardest
things...
is watching Ben.
He's so devastated.
Yes, well, it's always
the living that make it hard.
[ Door Closes ]
[ Moira ]
You don't need to run off, dear.
He can't see you unless you want him to.
Right. I keep forgetting.
[ Cooing ]
I want to nurse him so badly.
No, Ben. Not the microwave.
You're hovering, dear. It's a bad idea.
- See. He remembered.
- [ Cooing ]
He was a good dad.
Moira, I know you don't approve...
but despite all his flaws...
he's a good father.
I'll never understand why you always
need to come to his defense.
[ Whispers ]
Here you go.
Do you want him to see you?
Is that what's going on?
Are you fighting the desire to appear?
No, I do not want him to see me.
I absolutely do not want him to see me
or Violet. I have made her promise me.
Because if he sees us,
then he's gonna want to stay here.
- It's okay, kiddo.
- And he has to leave this house.
And raise our baby.
Then sit down and keep your distance.
Remember the endgame.
It's all going to work out.
[ Sighs ]
There's something
about Ben that's different.
He's so sanguine.
Perhaps he's dreaming of all the women
he can have relations with.
Forgive me. I suppose that was unkind.
Moira, would you make me
a cup of tea, please?
No.
Your denial is impressive.
You're a ghost, Mrs. Harmon.
I don't take orders from ghosts.
I'm your equal now in this world.
So you are.
I owe you an apology.
And I think you should call me Vivien.
I'd like that.
Vivien, if I may-
Leave him be. Don't torture yourself.
[Ben]
It's not your fault.
None of this is.
Your Aunt Jo's gonna be here soon.
[ Baby Crying ]
[ Crying Stops ]
[ Fussing ]
[ Sighs ]
- You can't do this.
- Vivien.
I knew you were here.
Why didn't you come to me?
It would just make it worse.
I want you to take the baby and go.
- Just let me do it.
Then we can be together.
- No, no. No. No.
That baby needs a father, Ben.
I'm not his father.
You know it, and I know it.
He's my baby,
and you shouldn't be smoking.
I don't really care where it came from.
I would give anything
if I could take care-
Vivien, I am...
so sorry for everything I put you through.
I want you to hear me.
I forgive you.
So enough with the drama
and the tragedy.
We've had enough in this family.
We've had enough.
And the one spot of light that there is,
is that baby asleep upstairs.
That's your opportunity
to do something different.
I want you to take the baby,
and I want you to leave this house...
and I want you to never come back.
Your sister said
she would take care of him.
She's a good mother.
- No, I don't want that.
- What do you want?
I want to... envision you
with that boy on your shoulders...
walking down Newbury Street.
What about Violet?
What about Violet?
I'm a teenage girl.
Not exactly a cakewalk.
Violet.
What kind of father have I been?
You weren't eating.
You weren't going to school.
You were already gone,
and I didn't get it.
I shut you out.
I was afraid it would break you.
I miss you so much.
I was never getting into Harvard.
Oh-
But I saved you a shitload of money.
Yeah, you did.
You have to leave, Dad.
Every minute you're in this house...
you're in danger, and so is that baby.
[ Softly]
Please. Do it for us.
[ Baby Fusses ]
[ Baby Cooing ]
Where are you going, Ben?
You didn't think I'd just let you leave?
Get out of my way, Hayden.
I don't have time for your ***.

[ Doorbell Rings ]
Welcome. You must be the Ramoses.
- Yes. I'm Stacy.
- Mm-hmm.
- This is my husband, Miguel.
- Hi.
Miguel. What an exotic name.
I must confess to a fascination
for all things south of the border.
- Actually, my family's from Spain.
- Yeah.
All the better.
I find European Hispanics vastly superior.
This is a classic L.A. Victorian...
built in the 1920s
by a doctor to the stars.
As you can see, it's just fabulous.
These are real Tiffany fixtures.
- [ Wind Whistling]
- Everything else in the house
has been updated.
Uh, Gabriel. Hold on.
Uh, I apologize for my son.
Apparently he's got the skateboard
surgically attached to his body.
He doesn't go anywhere without it.
It's quite all right, Mr. Ramos.
As long as we don't leave
any marks on the floor.
Are we waiting for another sibling?
No, we just have the one. Thank you.
The furnishing
is from the previous owner...
but if you see anything that you like...
I'm sure the estate is open
to selling at the right price.
[ Whispering ]
This is amazing, babe.
Look at this house.
Um, speaking of money, Marcy,
I know the, uh, economy is down...
but why is the asking price
so far below market?
There isn't a problem
with mold or radon, is there?
No. Nothing so simple.
In the interest of full disclosure...
I must inform you
that the previous owners
passed away in the house.
- Oh.
- How?
The wife died during childbirth...
and the husband, in his grief,
committed suicide.
He hung himself
from the second-story balcony.
It's a tragically romantic love story.
This is their dog, Hallie.
She's the only remaining member
of the Harmon family.
I've adopted her.
Well, at least they weren't murdered.
- Mrs. Ramos.
- Yes?
I'd be happy to show you another house.
But no matter where you go,
you'll be moving into somebody's history.
Only this one can be had...
for $200,000 less
than the last time I sold it.
What do you think, Gabe?
I don't believe in ghosts.
Of course he would say that.
Should we continue the tour?
Yes. Sure.
- I know you're going to love the kitchen.
- [ No Audio ]
It's got marble countertops,
a breakfast nook-
and have you ever seen a pasta arm?
[ Together ]
No.
[ Marcy]
Personally, I haven't. I live alone.
But Mrs. Harmon fancied
herself a bit of a gourmet.
Notice the gazebo in the backyard.
[ Hinges Creaking ]
[ Noisemakers Popping ]
[ Grunts ]
- [ Popping ]
- [ Laughing ]
[ Skateboard Rolling ]
You okay?
Yeah.
I-I slipped. Where-Where's Mom?
Oh, the second she stepped
foot in the kitchen, it was game over.
I think we just bought ourselves a house.
Come on. You gotta check out
the rest of this place.
There's definitely room for a pool table.
[ Marcy] Imagine sipping a nice mojito
on a hot, sunny day.
I guess you folks tolerate the heat
better than us gringos.
Am I right?
[ Sighs ]
I see you've got a new family
moving in next door.
Yes, I noted that.
Oh, I do hope they're a... nice family.
I'd go over there
and welcome them personally...
but as you may imagine,
returning to that house is difficult for me.
After what I saw.
You stupid son of a ***.
Please tell me that you're not here
with any more bad news.
No real news, actually.
So you still haven't found
that precious baby?
- No trace.
- That's very worrying.
We'd like to go over your statement again.
- Just to make sure
we didn't miss anything.
- Of course.
You said you'd gone over to the Harmons'
at approximately 7:30 p.m.-
to check on Dr. Harmon
and his daughter.
After ringing the bell
and getting no response...
you decided to enter the premises.
Being no stranger to tragedy,
I was understandably concerned.
Prescient, as it turned out.
You stupid son of a ***.
I can't believe she killed me.
[ Chuckles ]
Serves you right.
My first instinct was to flee...
to run screaming and never return.
But then I thought of the baby.
***!
Dad?
Well, that's all very touching.
But where the hell's the baby?
So I went searching
for the Harmons' daughter.
[ Flies Buzzing ]
And when I discovered
that she was gone, too...
I understood what must have happened.
Have you come to see my baby?
- I've come to fetch my grandson.
- Oh, you think so?
Mrs. Harmon agrees with me.
House of the dead
is no place to raise a child.
- It is for this baby. He's special.
- He's mine.
Over my dead body.
[ Chuckles ]
We're well past that.
[ Groaning ]
Aw, ***.
Violet took that child and fled.
God knows where.
But I keep them both
in my prayers, every night.
Well-
[ Sighs ]
If you think of anything
Violet said to you...
that could, uh, indicate where she might
have gone, you will let us know?
- Oh, without hesitation.
- Mm-hmm.
Thank you for your time.

- Almost.
- Aw.
- Almost. So we should get going.
I lost two babies in this house.
One of them never even took a breath...
and Constance stole the other one.
At least he's out of this house.
They seem like such a nice couple.
They can't have a baby in this house.
You're right.
We have to do something.
You're going to need help.
Some spirits in the house
are angry and vengeful...
and eager to inflict their fate on others.
But many of us are innocent, kind,
blameless victims
at the hands of another.
And we don't want to see
more suffering in this house.

This used to be my room.
And then it was hers.
What are you talking about?
Violet.
She was my girlfriend.
The freaky chick from before?
What do you mean by freaky?
She seemed really cool.
Nothing happened.
She didn't say she had a boyfriend.

one of the most famous

in the City of Angels.
And the recent and bloody tragedy

of the *** House.

[ Tate ]
Have you got a minute?
I know. I'm the last person
you want to see right now.
You're not a person. You're a monster.
I really miss our talks, Ben.
They were really helping me.
[ Chuckles ]
***.
You're a psychopath, Tate.
It's a mental disorder,
and therapy can't cure it.
So that's your diagnosis?
I'm a psychopath?
Yep, and the worst kind.
You're charismatic and compelling
and a pathological liar.
But don't listen to me. I'm a total fraud.
And by the way, therapy doesn't work.
It doesn't work?
Then why do people do it?
Because they don't want to take
any responsibility for their crappy lives.
So they pay a therapist
to listen to their ***...
and make it all feel... special.
So they can blame their crazy mothers...
for everything that went wrong.
Sound familiar?
[ Chuckles ]
It's a great racket too.
Week after week,
month after month, year after year...
we collect checks,
but deep down, we know it doesn't work.
- You son of a ***.
- We're not so different, Tate.
I'm a bad person too.
I hurt the people
I was supposed to love the most.
But they forgave you, right?
- Maybe Violet'll forgive me too.
- She can't.
You can only forgive someone
for what they've done to you directly.
Those people you murdered?
They're the only ones
who can forgive you...
and you took away their chance.
So this is it?
There's no- There's nothing I can do?
No chance of mercy?
[ Sobs ]
Terrific performance, Tate.
The whole misunderstood kid act?
Oh, I fell for it. Violet did too.
But a psychopath,
by definition, is incapable of remorse.
So, come on.
Let's try this again for real this time.
You...
destroyed everything
that mattered most to me.
What could you possibly
want from me now?
I don't know about definitions...
but I really am sorry, Ben.
- To you more than anyone.
- Sorrys are easy.
What about taking responsibility
for the things you've done?
Christ.
You can't even say the words.
In 1994...
I set my mom's boyfriend on fire.
And then I shot and killed
15 kids at Westfield High.
I murdered the gay couple
who lived here before you.
And I *** your wife.
There were other things too.
Other people I hurt.
I'll tell you everything.
I'm not your priest, Tate.
I can't absolve you for any of this.
Right. I get that.
But can you just...
hang out with me sometimes?

wouldn't stop crying.
I knew she couldn't handle him.
She doesn't really want a baby.
She just got stuck on that idea.
Not a motherly bone in her body, that one.
Do you want to hold him?
[ Softly]
Here you go.
Mmm.
He's such a frail little thing.
His skin is like peaches.
I would have made a good mother...
if I hadn't been such a little ***.
Forgive me. There's nothing worse
than a self-pitying old maid.
You know, I'm gonna need
so much help with him.
I can't accept such a position.
I'm not trained as a nanny.
I wasn't thinking that you
would come work for us.
I was gonna ask you if you wanted
to be his godmother.

Grow a pair, Rimbaud.
She's not into you.
You're not getting back into her.
She'll never talk to you again.
I'll wait.
Forever, if I have to.
[Door Opens, Bells ***]
Ding-***.
[ Laughing ]
How would you feel
about working a miracle today, Helen?
Constance, you get your *** in my chair.
Oh, where you been, girl?
I was starting to think
you found yourself another salon.
Oh, heavens, no. No, no, no.
[ Chuckles ] No, I've just been
a bit housebound of late.
Now don't shriek
when this scarf comes off.
Lady Clairol and I have become
entirely too familiar. [ Chuckles ]
- Housebound? You have an accident?
- No.
I had a baby.
A-A baby?
A boy.
A son.
[ Laughs ]
Oh, I- No, I-I didn't give birth to him,
of course.
No, he was the, um, child of distant
cousins on my mother's side.
The DeLongpres of Virginia.
Evaline and Steve.
They died tragically in a highway accident
outside Richmond...
leaving that poor little angel an orphan.
- Terrible.
- Yes.
But little Michael and I
were meant to be together.
He was meant to be my son.
- And I, his mother.
- Oh!
And I am sick of looking
like his grandmother.
So, here.
You work your magic.
Oh!
[ Laughs ]
Oh, Helen!
Oh, you truly are an artist.
Well, even an artist
needs the right materials.
- Ohh.
- You know, Constance...
in all the years I've known you...
I don't think you have ever looked
younger or more radiant.
It's true, isn't it?
[ Laughs ]
- May I confide something?
- Yeah.
Ever since I was a little girl...
I knew I was destined for great things.
I was gonna be somebody.
A person of...
significance.
A star of the silver screen,
I once thought.
But...
my dreams became nightmares.
Instead of laurels...
funeral wreaths.
Instead of glory-
[ Soft Chuckle ]
bitter disappointment.
Cruel afflictions.
Well, now I understand.
Tragedy was preparing me...
for something greater.
Every loss that came
before was a lesson.
I was being prepared.
[ Soft Chuckle ]
And now I know for what.
This child.
A remarkable boy.
Destined for greatness.
In need of a remarkable mother.
Someone forged
in the fires of adversity...
who can guide him.
With wisdom.
With firmness.
With love.
I apologize for being so late, Flora.
But Helen had to go into minute detail...
every tiresome moment
of her niece's bat mitzvah.
The amount of money those people
throw away on a 13-year-old is-
Flora?
