- This place is very... no place.
- This place, Jan, is Wales.
It's one of the oldest governments in Europe,
back to Norman conquest.
- Norman Conquest is at 1066.
Want to know when Magna Carta
has been signed? I can tell you.
- There will be another Brain laughter in the fall, Ellie.
All you have to do is through the summer.
- I know, three months in England
means the next 30 years at Adams College.
That's my type of math, Kate.
- I don't sound like that. - Oh?
- Well, that is my type of math.
Within ten years,
this summer will feel like a flash.
- Let's see if it works.
No, it's still there.
- We will do our best this, Jan, right?
For like us in Cleveland?
- Okay, whatever.
[mysterious music]
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
[bell chiming]
Wow, this place already feels good.
- Jan, has respect.
- Sorry.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
No, still there.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Ah, so beautiful.
Okay, here it is.
[clatter continues]
Wow, the bell must have been ringing for a long time.
- This is tradition.
The bell rings once every year from the man's life.
It will see it safely to the other side.
You must be Carstairs.
I'm Mrs. Thayer, your real estate agent.
- Nice to meet you. - You, too.
If you want to take your things, I'll meet you at the office.
- Yeah, weird place. I will give that.
- Yes, if it's old-fashioned You mean old.
- Remember our agreement, Jan.
- It's like coming out Brothers Grimm.
They are collected 200 fairy tales.
- What are they? - Yes, they missed one.
- Northrop is more than weird. It drips with history.
- Yes, you can sink into it.
Listen, can't we just stay somewhere else?
Dad's University is at Middleton.
This is, like, three times this size.
- We talked about this.
If we will stay in Wales for summer,
we will have the original Welsh experience,
and your father needs all the calm he gets.
- And office with enough wall space
for the equation of my long form.
- We will find something.
- And you will need it good kitchen.
You know you will do it.
- Now, this one is a big kitchen,
but the roof is in need of repair.
- We're only here for summer.
I hope it's clear in my message.
- Very clear. That doesn't limit your choices,
but you will want it to find a place in a week.
After that, the closest hotel room
will be ordered for the festival in five days.
- What are the Wonders of Northrop?
- Like that festival celebrates.
In June 1348,
Black outbreaks sweep in rural areas
around Northrop and killed 100,000 people
but not the soul in this village.
- Not one person? - None.
Outbreaks travel around villages and surrounding forests.
- What are the possibilities that happened?
- This is a miracle.
- Well, why is June 21? - It's mid-summer date.
This is the longest day this year,
when the sun is highest in the sky.
So you will want it to find a place
before this place changes to an exhibition arena.
- What is the first list, Mrs. Thayer?
I think we missed it.
- Ah, Aylwood House.
Well, that place is too big for your needs and only has electricity in some rooms.
- Well, the electricity can be fixed, right?
- Why yes.
- Ghosts will rent it. - It does look haunted.
- When was it built? - 1348.
- Year of Black Outbreak.
- Uh, why, yes.
- What month?
- That is not said. Why?
- Well, I just want to know if it's built
after the outbreak struck here
or before.
I mean, I don't want to stay home where the framework runs brings sickles, kill--
- Jan, you will scare Ellie.
- I'm fine.
I am not afraid of that house.
- Well, neither do I.,
and it seems like it's real Welsh experience.
- I only need a few minutes to close the office,
then we can go see Aylwood House.
- Sounds good. We will meet you in the car.
[scary music]
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Are you okay, Ellie?
- Look at the doll.
Can I have it?
- isn't that right a little old for dolls?
- You always say I grew too fast.
- You're right as usual,
and you're making the best from Northrop.
Come on.
- Are you coming, Jan? - No, thank you.
- Whatever. Don't wander too far.
[woman humming "Ring Around the Rosie"]
[dramatically developed]
- Will you go to Aylwood House?
- Uh yeah.
- The last one like you have a bag of money.
But he didn't fall.
He disappeared.
- Who disappeared? Where?
- There.
- What are you talking about?
And how do you know where do I go?
- Don't let it be stupid Helen Taylor scares you too much.
He just heard Mrs. Thayer said that to your family.
- Oh yeah. Thank you.
- But if you visit Aylwood House,
I recommend that you stay into the yard.
- Why?
- You should be.
[jingle doorbell]
- Listen, Jan. - She is beautiful.
Who is the Name?
- I have to think about it.
It must be right.
- It costs half what you usually pay for
for a place this size.
- Can you repair electricity?
- I already talked for Jack Fleming,
a local farmer who duplicates as a handyman for Ny. Aylwood.
- So, is there someone living there now?
- Not much longer.
Your Aylwood House to rent if you want.
And there is a way there.
Turn left. I said turn left.
Turn left, turn left, turn left!
- Sorry, sorry.
- Why don't we take the way through the forest?
- The road around them is more suitable for me.
[mysterious music]
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Jan, roll your window.
- Sorry, sorry.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Here we go.
Welcome to Aylwood House.
- It's mine to say, and I don't welcome you.
- Meet Mrs. Aylwood.
- Who are you? What do you want?
- I warn you, Madam. Aylwood.
If you refuse to install a telephone,
I will make a surprise visit .
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- This house is not for rent.
- Ny. Aylwood, You know as well as me
you have to rent this house
and take residence in the cottage.
- Ellie.
[echoing] Ellie. Ellie, Ellie!
- What? - Don't you hear me?
Where did you go?
- I don't know.
- Come on.
- What happened, you two?
- Jan tried to to scare me again.
- No, I don't. He wanders.
It's like he sleeps while walking.
- I don't sleep while walking.
- Right, it settles it.
Let's see, okay?
- Of course, of course.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Excuse me.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
man: [distorted] Hide.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Hide. - Is anybody there?
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
[dramatically developed]
- What did you say to him?
Do you sing your rhymes?
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
[clock ticks]
[dramatically developed]
What kind of person are you?
Do you feel something?
- I'm sorry.
I don't know what you mean.
- I think I should take the opportunity for you.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Mother, Father.
[tense music]
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
[dramatically developed]
- Mother said only two rooms got electricity,
so we have to sleep together.
- No. Where is mom
- I don't know, but Father is in his new office.
- 27 feet then some, is large enough for two blackboards.
- Where is mom? - Off to find the kitchen.
- This equipment is very old.
Too bad, huh?
Sorry ma'am.
- View from the office window
it's nothing but a forest for miles.
If Einstein has this view,
he will never go to Princeton.
- Alright.
I think I can cook here.
[scary music]
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- You look very happy in that photo.
- Excuse me?
- Your marriage, is that in spring?
- Summer. - Your warning must be immediate.
What date?
- I don't believe in keeping tracking dates
dead things.
- I'm sorry.
He died?
- You ask a lot of questions for a 15 year old child.
- I'm 16 years old. Today is my birthday.
- Oh, fine, happy birthday.
- I think you don't believe in the anniversary.
- But you are still alive, right?
- Yes
How did your husband die?
- He died from me.
- Whoo!
What do you expect?
- I want to make my Northrop home, at least for the summer.
- I will drink for that.
Think you will ask for a car.
- For a beautiful summer.
Ellie.
[soft laughter]
- You lie on the table.
- What are you talking about?
- You don't want Northrop to become your home.
- How do you know what I want? - I just knew that.
[cicada singing]
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
[bird cricket]
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Well, you are wrong.
I want Mom and Dad to be happy.
I want you to be happy.
- Then stop scaring me. - I don't scare you.
- You did it when You grabbed me yesterday.
- Ellie, who am I to do?
You sleep while walking into the forest.
[distorted whispers]
- There he goes again, Hell.
- Hell? What is that?
- His name. What do you think?
- How can you do it?
- I kind of just heard it.
- When did you hear it?
- I don't know, just now.
- Just now. Then who told you?
- I don't know. - Ellie, what does that sound like?
Is that a whisper?
Does that sound like that comes from the forest?
- Stop asking me all these questions.
You scared me. It's just a name.
- Yes you are right.
I'm sorry, Ell.
Hell is a good name.
- Will you be mine new sister, Hell?
Sure. I will not try and scare you.

[bird squawks]
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- I still can't believe it
You're afraid of Ellie like that, Jan.
The length you go to.
Break the mirror?
All of this after you made us believe
You really will give this shot.
- He lied. I know it.
- We said we would not do it talking about this again.
- Listen, I know that sounds crazy,
but there is a girl in the mirror.
He holds flowers. - I don't remember any girl.
I only remember you saying I'm sleeping while walking.
- You never sleep while walking in your life.
- Walking in sleep.
- Forget grammar. - I don't want to answer
there is another question about forest whispering to me.
- Whispering? What is this about someone whispering to you?
- I only asked once.
The mirror is cracked in perfect X.
What are the opportunities I did that?
- Pretty good when you determined
to scare us from this city.
- You're lucky Ellie isn't cut.
[birdsong]
You did not enter the store?
I think you want to buy some supplies to repair your room.
- Oh, no, my room is perfect.
The house is perfect. Northrop is perfect.
- Leave him alone.
- You make Dad really angry.
- There is a girl in the mirror.
- I don't see any girl.
What's wrong with you?
- Maybe something is wrong with me.
- I will tell you what is wrong with you.
You have taken Aylwood's place.
- Yes, we have.
- And where is Mrs. Aylwood for life?
With you, I think.
- He lives in the cottage.
- That's good.
Good for you, I mean.
Ny. Aylwood is a demon troublemaker.
- A devil dodger? What is that?
- A devod dodger is-- Mark Fleming.
- Mark Fleming?
- Tell your father I have
dig some real treasures this week.
- Of course, Mrs. Taylor. He will be happy to see it.
- Your father is a good man,
but I encourage difficult bargaining.
- He respects you for that.
Hi.
- Hi.
- I'm leaving.
- Well, he's not weird at all.
- Helen Taylor?
She's not dangerous.
I'm Mark, just in case you don't catch it
yells at you a few seconds ago.
- I'm Jan.
I just moved here from Cleveland, Ohio.
- Ohio. It sounds far away.
- You don't know. - Well, I only live in
the other side of the forest.
My family owns a farm.
- And your father bought Helen's trash?
Is that valuable? - Not.
Helen lives in a caravan near us,
and whatever he dug my father bought,
so that he can get food and goods.
- Is he always like that? - As long as I can remember.
But they say he doesn't like that when he's a girl.
- Why, do something happen to him?
- I guess that's what happened to to his friend,
or at least that's what happened my mother said.
- What happened to his friend?
- Mrs. Thayer said something about a Yank girl
in cities that like to ask many questions.
- Yank girl?
- Yank, Yankee.
- Oh, a Yankee. That's the first.
Asking lots of questions, I get it all the time.
- Hello. - Hello. I'm Mark Fleming.
My father is taking care of Aylwood's house.
- Ah, your father is a farmer Ms. Thayer mentioned.
- I can come now and do the installation if you want.
- That's great. - I just need to run home and get my tool.
You can come if you want.
I can use some help bring everything.
- I don't know. - I think it will be fine.
Ellie always wants to see a real farm.
Aren't you, Ellie?
- Yes.
So what do you think about from Northrop now?
- I think it's a good place to keep you quiet.
- Say hi to Lucy.
[dog barking]
- So why doesn't anyone drive through the forest around here?
- Parents in the city say there is something there.
- What is it like? - Soul.
They call it The Watcher.
- The Watcher?
- That's weird. I'm not sure if it's the stories,
but I remember walking through the forest
as a man and feel it.
- So you don't walk through the forest anymore?
- There are no people around here. - Is it true? So--
- You have to save some questions for my mom.
He knows more about this city than me.
- OK.
[sheep bleating]
- Here we go.
- It's been 36 years ago Friday that he disappeared.
- Helen Taylor's best friend?
- Many children will call Karen their best friend.
She's beautiful and beautiful suck to boot.
- Puckish? - He is a starter.
- Karen likes to play tricks.
His face is his alibi.
[scary music]
- Are you okay?
- Yes Sorry.
I just feel like I've seen it before, somewhere.
- There is only one Karen. Everyone adores it.
His departure is the biggest surprise
this village once existed.
- They don't talk about that anymore,
but when I was young, You will hear about the girl
who entered the forest One night and never came out.
- Never seen again.
No body, no evidence cheating,
no crime scene,
not a trace of Karen Aylwood.
- Aylwood?
Is he related to Mrs. Aylwood?
- Karen is his daughter.
Sorry, I thought Mark told you.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- I said nothing
because I want you to hear it from my mother.
- And you want the reason to take me.
- [laughs]
Can you blame me?
I also don't want to say anything in front of Ellie.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Thank you for that.
- Hell.
- According to you Missing Karen
has anything to do with with The Watcher?
- I don't know.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Karen.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Thank you, Mark.
- Hey, can you not
tell my parents about Ellie writing in the window?
- You have to.
- They will think I've scared him again,
what I caused is we can leave this place.
- Do you scare him?
- No.
- I feel like you're not telling me everything.
- OK.
Do you want to hear everything?
Then, I will tell you everything.
Come on.
Forest whispers, "Hide,"
and then mirror cracks like this.
- It's a clean break. - Yes, too clean.
- But that can happen.
- And the forest whispers to me?
- Maybe it's just a breeze.
- The girl I saw in the mirror,
he looks like picture of Karen Aylwood.
- Your mind just playing with you.
- Is that why you won't walk through the forest again or even past them? You say it yourself.
There is something there.
The Watcher.
- The Watcher in the Woods is a local legend,
and that scares me too, but it's just a legend.
- Yes, well, the legend is talking to me.
I mean, who am I to do,
sit and act like I didn't hear it?
What if you want to take me like Karen Aylwood did?
I won't let that happen.
- So what do you want to do?
- Travel back in time.
[soft music]
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- This is all yours, binder paper and microfilm box.
- Microfilm?
- This is from the 80s.
You put it in the machine.
- You said you want to go back to the past.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- You said he disappeared 36 years ago,
same date in mid-summer this week's festival.
- My mom said it happened in the mid-summer festival.
Karen just disappeared into the forest.
Wait. Slow down there.
- "Local girls disappear."
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
"Pond dragging."
- "Karen Aylwood is missing for a week."
- "Constance Aylwood brought to Middleton police station
for questioning."
- "Braden Aylwood was hospitalized and placed under suicide control."
- Helen Taylor said that to me Aylwood is a demon troublemaker.
What is that? - Never heard of that.
But there was a rumor that he had put a spell in the forest.
No animals enter there, even not birds.
- Do you think that is true?
- When my father was little,
he's hunting rabbits and squirrels there,
but since then Karen has disappeared,
he also hasn't seen.
- When I asked Mrs. Aylwood what her husband died,
he said, "About me."
What if the rumor is true, and Ny. Aylwood is a witch?
What if he killed her in her blood ritual,
and her husband know that?
- Maybe we should rest. - Take a break?
But we just started.
- Jan, I like you, but you sound a little crazy.
Witch, blood ritual.
She's just an old woman.
- What's wrong?
You're the one who brought up the casting spell.
- I know.
I only think of all this _ having a little fun at first.
I never knew Mrs. Aylwood
is a suspect in him loss of his own daughter.
My mother never told me that.
- Yes, fine, he is fair protect the village.
No one wants to think about it from their neighbors is a murderer.
- I think that's true.
- What if something happens to me?
- Will not. - You don't know that.
- Since you arrived here, I don't know what I know.
Things have happened very seriously.
Investigation, maybe you can put it for a day.
The mid-summer festival is this weekend.
We can go together, _ have fun.
- Have fun in the fair Black Plague?
- You Americans celebrate Halloween,
which is a monster and a dead person.
Mexicans have Day of the Dead.
- Well, you made a good case for someone from-- a little
- What is someone from a little?
Someone from a small village.
- Listen, I don't mean like that.
I didn't mean-- - Of course.
You think this place is for farmers and the simpletons, and you might be right,
but I will tell you something that you don't know,
Jan from Cleveland.
This small village has lived for centuries of invasion,
flooding, the epidemic erased 1,000 people
and does not kill one person here.
- Why doesn't it kill one person here?
- That is a miracle. - That is a miracle.
Back in the Puritan period, they called magic miracles.
- We were not in the Puritan period.
- Listen, me - I'm really sorry.
I respect you and everything this village has finished.
- No problem. Let's just forget about it and continue.
So you want to come to the festival with me?
- I know my parents. I have to be home at midnight.
- Eclipse midnight.
This is the highest point of fairness,
and your parents will want to come too.
Do you, too?
- OK.
I will ask my mother.
- Ask me what?
- What are you doing here? - We live here.
- Can we give you a ride home?
- Yes
- So, this weekend.
- Sounds good.
- What happened this weekend? - I'll tell you later.
[scary music]
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- You like Northrop now. - Shut up.
- I mean, You really like Northrop now.
- I said shut up. - Well.
I will be quiet.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- I don't care.
She's an innocent old woman.
Mark is right.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- I heard that.
You like Mark.
- Mark is pretty cool, right?
- He's fine.
- Go to sleep.
Okay, I admit she's pretty cute.
Hey, you can't already fall asleep.
Hey.
[growing dramatically]
- Hell, Hell, Hell, Hell, Hell, Hell!
- Mother. Mom, dad!
- Hell, Hell, Hell, Hell, Hell, Hell!
- Get the inhaler. - Hell, hell!
- No problem.
- Hell, Hell! - Take a deep breath.

- Fast. - Hell, Hell, Hell, Hell!
Hell, Hell, Hell, Hell, Hell!
- [shout]
- Hell, Hell,
Hell, Hell, Hell, Hell,
Hell, Hell, Hell, Hell!
- This is the end of your fear Ellie and scare us all.
- Jan doesn't scare me.
We joke about Mark when - when I go to bed.
Or I think I did it.
- Kate, you haven't said a word. Do you want to interrupt?
- Glass.
- Mirror from the bedroom? I think we finished it.
- Not that mirror.
This mirror.
- You dropped it, and it hit the floor in the right place.
- Cracks in X are perfect.
- Paul, it cracked before I dropped it.
- So you grip it too tightly.
Ellie wheezes,
and you are stuck in the heat.
[sighs]
It's time to go back to bed.
Come on, Ellie.
- Who do you think does this?
- Ny. Aylwood, spirit in the forest.
I don't know exactly, ma'am.
But I know whatever it is,
it's watching us.
- Watch over us?
That's crazy. Your father is right.
I gripped the mirror too tightly, and you already scared Ellie.
- But I didn't say-- - Do you know it or not.
Only, this talk here scared me.
- Yes, because it should. - That's enough, Jan.
I'm serious.
I don't want to hear it again about this.
Good evening.
- Hey, Daisy!
[sheep bleating]
Come on, come on.
[shout]
I think you said you will
forget about this until after the festival.
- I can't.
Ellie started to say her name again last night.
Hell.
- Right, Karen is spelled backwards.
- Do you take me seriously?
- Hey, watch your steps.
- You didn't take me seriously,
and you haven't all the time.
- Jan, Jan. I'm sorry, Sorry, I'm sorry.
- You don't trust me. - I don't know what to believe.
I have never met a girl like you before.
I really like you,
but I'm sure I don't understand
your mystery.
- I'll help you first mystery
if you help me with the second one.
I need to find out what happened to Karen.
That is the key to knowing what's happening now.
- Okay, You have an agreement.
- You cannot see in this file.
- Karen Aylwood's disappearance has become a closed case
for more than 20 years.
- Yes, the public has the right to read it.
- I will let you have 15 minutes, no more.
[soft music]
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Ny. Aylwood is questioned three times in three weeks.
- He is not the only one in question.
- Her husband?
- A family friend.
- The Aylwoods?
- No.
Yours.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- This band has three friends. Let's start there.
[birdsong]
- The last one as you have a bag of flowers,
but he didn't fall.
- Yes, he disappeared.
You told me.
- He disappeared like that.
- Did you see Karen Aylwood disappearing?
- Why did he start I will never know.
- Wait. What is brave?
- It's afternoon festival.
[children laugh and shout]
[playing carnival music]
There are four of us--
me, Tom Colley,
and John Keller
and of course, Karen.
- Guys, eclipse tonight,
and I challenge the three of you to come with me to the pool.
- To go swimming? I entered - No.
- That's part of the haunted forest.
I can't go there.
- Good me.
- OK.
But you will miss on the best display of eclipses.
Too many lights here.
- Are you both scared? I do not.
- I'm not afraid.
- Then me too.
- Good.
We will meet here just before midnight
and then go to the forest.
- And we do it.
- [laughs]
- Does that make you look taller?
- At least the three of us did it.
- Friends, I can't find Karen.
- Where did he go?
- He might be scared or something.
Come on, let's go home.
- No. He told us to meet him there.
I'm not backing out so he can call me chicken later.

ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
This is weird.
- I know. Where is she?
- I told you, he was scared.
- Karen is not afraid of anything.
- No, that's strange the only tree that has been burned.
- Only you will pay attention to something like that, Helen.
- No, he is right, Tom.

- See you soon, Helen.
- That's all he can remember.
- All of him let himself remember.
- Yes, fine,
if it's even partially what happened to Karen Aylwood,
I'm a little crazy too.
- The three of them can't have gone crazy, right?
- It was all entered to rest 36 years ago.
The girl ran to London, might take another name.
He always does tricks.
- Yes, but he is 15 years old.
- He won't have anything leaving his mother.
- isn't that right? When was the last time
you speak sweetly old lady Aylwood?
- Yesterday the day after.
I live in his house now.
- Oh.
Well, they will look for for you soon.
- That is very helpful.
[knocking on the door]
[dog barking]
- Lucy. Lucy.
Lucy, come here.
Can I help you?
That night haunted me my whole life.
I love him so much, you know.
- I don't know.
You don't talk to anyone in the village, never.
- I am the nose of a rich person in the air, I know, but I do love Karen.
[soft music]
This is what Helen said.
Don't tell anyone in Northrop I say that.
I don't want anyone to know that it's crazy
and I have something in common.
- But you do it.
Both of you see Karen Aylwood disappearing into thin air.
- Yes
Helen, Tom, and I saw Karen disappear.
None of them will come in the search party,
but I did, my parents told me
to close my mouth about the game.
They arrange it with the local police
to keep my name out of it.
Family reputation and all that.
- And they did the same thing for Helen and Tom.
- Mm-hmm. Neat and clean.
- Karen really haunts you.
- Yes
He haunts me.
- Do you think Mrs. Aylwood killed his daughter?
- I know what I see.
Mrs. Aylwood loves her daughter.
He has nothing to do with that.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- I'll see you soon, My beautiful girl.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
[tense music]
- [breath]
What are you doing here?
- I see you wake up. I follow you.
- You have to go home.
- No without you.
- Good, but still close
and don't speak out.
[scary music]
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Where did he go?
- into the forest.
Shh.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
Ellie.
- Are you okay? - Jan, where are you?
- Ellie!
[dramatically developed]
- Run!
[tense music]
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
[muffled shouts]
- Jan! - Jan!
- Ellie!
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Ellie!
- Where is Jan?
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Now, what are you doing out there so late?
And why is Mrs. Aylwood want to drown you?
- Because he's a witch. - Wake up.
- Run now, baby. I will wake up soon.
- We're walking around, and I guess
we just walk into the forest.
- Walk to the forest.
Nobody in Northrop just wanders into the forest.
Ny. Aylwood, there he is.
It seems that history has raised its bad head,
and here we are again,
but this time, the girl is alive.
- That's not true. - I saw him holding you
under water with tree branches.
- I see it too.
- Why else did he follow you?
There is no other explanation.
- There is another explanation.
He doesn't follow me.
I followed it.
I've heard rumors about Ny. Aylwood is a witch
and put a curse in the forest,
so I followed it into the forest.
I want to prove it.
It turns out he was just walking around.
Then I was too close to the pool, and I fell.
Ny. Aylwood is not trying to drown me.
He tried to save me,
the same as he would do for his own daughter
if he can.
[scary music]
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
Why did the forest tell me to hide?
I know you didn't kill Karen.
- How dare you. - I know you want it back.
I see you smell the picture.
You love him.
I know you didn't kill Karen.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Not forest whispers to you.
This is The Watcher.
- So the Watcher is real?
- Oh yeah.
He told you where he was trapped.
- Hide?
- "Hide" is Gaelic for "a wooded country."
- Why is he stuck, and why did he tell me?
- Why is that right?
That's why I allow you to stay in my house.
- I think you magic the voices,
that you are a witch.
Helen Taylor calls you Devil vandals.
- Devil dodger. I think I am.
Or at least I when I was a young girl.
I used to go to church just to listen to music and then slip away during the prayer.
- A devil dodger.
So if you are not a magician who killed his daughter,
where is Karen?
- I don't know.
- Who brought it?
What is The Watcher?
- I wish I was thrown away the robe and the mask.
- What are you talking about? What robes and masks?
- Karen found them.
When we first moved to this house,
he found them in the attic.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
At first, I thought there were a few types of masked ball costumes.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
But then he found the book.
That's the symbol of Hippocratic oath, 1348.
The man is a doctor,
and the costume is not a costume.
That's the operation clothes.
He is a village doctor
when the outbreak struck through rural England
and kill thousands of people
but not even one death in Northrop.
That's not a miracle.
The doctor has gone before the age
in notifying villagers to boil their water,
to shower regularly,
and wash their hands after comes from the field,
and when the epidemic arrives in Wales,
he warned them to continue to their home and travel anywhere
outside the surrounding forest.
A good doctor should follow his own advice.
He traveled to Middleton to care for children who might be saved.
He thinks the robe and mask will save him from the plague.
[man shouting]
But he is wrong.
So after returning,
when the disease appeared on him,
he was killed.
- [screaming]
- What a terrible way to die.
- And The Watcher hasn't forgotten.
- This is children's poetry Helen said Karen is singing when she disappeared.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- "Ring Around the Rosy."
- Yes, it's a children's song.
- It's about the Black Plague.
Rosy is the red one that's left on your skin,
and a full bag
is what you bring to cover the smell of death.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
That's why The Watcher took my Karen.
- He wears his doctor's clothes and singing about the plague.
He thinks he's making fun of his death.
- And now he takes it somewhere terrible.
- I see you talking for Karen's photo.
You say you will see it soon.
- The Watcher says no is angry with Karen anymore.
But he has to peel it off.
- What's peeled?
- I don't know,
but he knows I won't be like that forever,
and he needs someone to care about that child
he keeps going until he gets it.
That's why I bargained with The Watcher.
- What kind of offer?
- I'm getting older.
I will do - I will do anything to see Karen again.
- What kind of offer, Ny. Aylwood?
- I promised him
a young girl in Karen's place,
and The Watcher has agreed.
- You offered me.
- No.
I offered him Ellie.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
I'm sorry.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Ellie is in danger.
- No more.
- We say no more than this.
- I thought you didn't scared me again. Stop it.
- I'm sorry, but you have to know.
Mrs. Aylwood was taken by the forest in 1981.
- Forest takes it.
- The spirit that lives in the forest
who lives in a burning tree.
- Right, so first is a witch, and now it's a ghost.
- Please, just listen to me.
This is the spirit of a doctor who died during the outbreak.
He was killed by villagers
because he brought disease here.
He is called The Watcher.
He is willing to reply to Karen Aylwood if...
can he have Ellie.
- Forest wants me? - Right, go to your room.
- But, Daddy-- - Enough is enough!
- Enough is enough.
I'm sorry.
This is all my fault.
- What's your fault?
- I filled the young girl's head with superstition.
Not Jan who wants to frighten you away from this place.
That's me.
- Wait, you scared us?
- No, he is lying.
- I don't lie,
but you don't need to worry about my mischief again.
I have made settings to go home for the elderly at Middleton.
The driver will come for me tomorrow.
- Do we have to vacate?
- Oh no.
That's not necessary.
Once again, I'm sorry.
- I told you, he lied.
[scary music]
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
man: Hide.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Ny. Aylwood?
Ny. Aylwood?
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
You can't leave.
Ellie is not safe from The Watcher.
- Last night I bargained with The Watcher.
- When you enter the forest?
- Yes. Ellie is safe.
You can return to your life now
without worrying for your sister.
All right.
- But what about Karen?
- Karen will do it where she lives.
This is the price I have to pay
to put another one the mother's daughter is in danger.
How dare I
- How do you know Elli is safe?
Does The Watcher tell you?
- No, but I reminded him of his Hippocratic oath that even if he is harmed,
he's still a doctor,
and take another child in Karen's place
will fight everything he believes and dies for.
- But keep Karen fighting everything she dies.
- Karen accompanied him.
This is my punishment for putting Ellie in danger.
I think The Watcher will leave you alone now.
man: Hide.
Hiding.
[tense music]
Hiding.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
Hiding.
- [whimpering softly]
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
Ellie.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Ellie.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Ah, good, you dress.
We leave in ten minutes.
- Okay, I'm ready. - Let me help you with that.
Can you help me and say
as little as possible to your father tonight?
Maybe for others Summer.
- Okay, I can do that.
- Listen, I know what it looks like
for life from now,
but we will return to Cleveland
and return to normal before you know it.
OK? - Well.
I hope so.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
[turning machine]
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Hey, what are you doing, girl?
- I know how you can get Karen back.
- This is crazy. - This is the only way.
The forest will bring Ellie.
- Sorry I can't cancel it bargain.
You have to get your family far from here.
- They don't want to listen to me.
We have to revive events 36 years ago.
That way The Watcher will take me.
- But you can be trapped for ever,
and there is no guarantee he will return Karen.
- Maybe if I know
what peels this The Watcher wants.
Does it peel the burning bark or some kind of skin?
- What if he doesn't tell you?
- Then he will have me,
and I will save Ellie.
I can live with it.
- But you can also die with that.
[dramatic music]
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Looking for Mark?
- Yes, we hang out tonight.
- Oh, no, you don't. - It's okay, Paul.
He has become an old victim. _ Women are like all of us.
Now, can we just forget about it all this happened
and make us have fun?
We meet again in the car midnight, after the eclipse.
OK? - Well.
Listen, promise me you stay close to Mom and Dad tonight.
- OK.
- Do you want to come here?
- Why don't you go up, honey.
- Choose a horse, come on.
- Hi.
I got your message. Is this okay?
- Yes, they are perfect. Where did you get it very quickly?
- The hat is sold there,
and this cloak is mine Mason's old grandfather's gown.
- Are Helen, John, and Tom here?
- Just there,
together for the first time in 36 years.
- This is outrageous.
I will not have a part of it.
- Oh, yes, he will do it.
That is, unless he wants the last ten years
from tax matters 9 to be examined.
- I'm scared.
- Don't be afraid.
I'm the person The Watcher will want it.
- Are you sure you know what are you doing?
- I don't know, but I know that if I don't do this,
my sister, midnight, will disappear,
and I will spend the rest my life regrets that.
I must at least try to save him.
I will take my chances with The Watcher.
- You are brave.
- I hope so.
Let's find out.
[playing carnival music]
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Mommy, Daddy, Jan and Mark went to the forest.
- What? Where?
- There somewhere.
- I don't want it alone in the forest.
- They are not alone. They are with several people, adults.
- Paul?
- Maybe they are fair take a shortcut to the house.
- With strangers?
- Come home and find out. We can go from there.
[tense music]
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Come on, we have to be fast.
Come on.
- Jan? - Jan?
- Jan!
- Jan, honey, where are you?
- Jan isn't here.
- Where is he? - What is going on?
Is this more a tactic to scare you?
Maybe my child is right when he calls you a witch.
- If I am a magician, I will stop it
do what he will do.
Jan is a stubborn girl.
- What will he do?
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- It's getting closer until midnight.
Are you sure Do you want to do this?
- Yes
The only thing I'm afraid of more than that works
it doesn't work.
- First thing tomorrow, he's on the plane back to Ohio.
He can live with my mother.
- Let's just look for him. - Get out in the forest at midnight?
What kind of game does he play?
- This is a game, right?
Answer me honestly.
- Jan believes he saved Ellie.
- And what do you believe? - I'm sure this isn't a game.

- House? - House.
Home to Aylwood House, home to your mother.
- My mother? Who are you?
- I am your mother's friend.
I am your friend, Karen Aylwood.
- I don't know how long it took me to know me, but I want to go home.
I have been lost all day.
- You're only here a day. - Well, maybe just now
a few hours or more, but it feels old.
- I bet for your mother, it feels longer.
Come on.
- You won't find it anywhere, Mr. Carstairs.
He's with The Watcher.
- Jan told me the truth all the time,
and I don't listen.
- Hopefully The Watcher will.
[tense music]
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- We want to go home now!
You were burned alive here to take part in your medical vow.
You were killed to help others!
You want to peel. We can help you.
Please, tell us what it is!
[shout]
- You admit you tried to scare us,
and now your game has led the loss of my son.
- This doesn't help.
What does this Watcher want?
- He wants to peel it off.
- What is that? - I do not know.
That's how Jan tried to find out.
- I don't believe I didn't think about this before.
He doesn't want to peel. He has been killed.
He never got proper burial.
He wants his pealing.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Please. Please, tell us what you want.
- What do you want? - Do you want justice?
Just say how.
What is the peeling what do you want?
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
[bell chiming]
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
[clatter continues]
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- What did the child do?
- Of course.
The Watcher wants the pealing,
pealing bells.
- Like a funeral.
One ring for each year from that man's life.
- Sounds that see it safely to the other side.
[soft roar]
- What?
- What do you want? Please, just - please don't.
[both of them shout]
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- What? He told the truth.
[rumbling]
- Mom!
- My dear! - Mom!
[soft music]
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Never do anything like that again.
- I don't think I can if I want.
Ellie. - Jan!
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Oh.
- Karen.
- Oh, ma'am.
- I think I'll never see you again.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- How long do I go? - No problem.
You go home now.
- Here, you must have it.
- Thank you.
- I think I'll have it to take a chance at you.
- What do you mean?
- What if we take you home?
- Ready to go home?
- Yes
- Alright, let's all leave.
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ¬
- Come on.
[pleasant music]
ΓÖ¬ ΓÖ
