Central Park Dark (2021) Movie Script

♪ Central Park ♪

♪ Quiet and dark ♪

♪ Circle of fire ♪

♪ Before you retire ♪

♪ You better come meet me ♪

♪ When it's three-three-three ♪

Dearest beloved, there is a

lot of history in Central Park,

and probably even more secrets.

I know because I

have a few of them.

Yeah, I've been at

the retirement party,

didn't you get my call?

Ah, I'm sorry,

I was in surgery.

Well, I should go so

I can make my flight.

You said you wanted to

try to make it here.

Yeah, look,

yeah, I know I did-

- Yeah, I know, a bar full

of old drinking buddies

doesn't sound so

good to me either.

I'm sorry, I was in surgery.

Is Tom coming?

Oh.

Tell him he must.

So you don't care

about your old mentor?

Look, I'd love

to see ya, I would-

- Your fate is not your

intentions, but your actions.

Okay.

Cranberry juice,

and could you put it

in a wine glass, please?

These days

I keep things light.

I tell jokes.

Why are there so

many blondes in hell?

Because they're so friggin' hot.

You are not allowed

in here anymore.

What are you talking about?

Out!

Any red's fine, I'm a quantity

over quality kinda girl.

You are going to get me fired.

That is not in your future.

John says you do a lot more

than tell fortunes

across the street.

- Thomas!

- George!

How

wonderful to see you.

Let me get you some

of what we're having.

I wanted you to catch my

wife and some other folks,

but they've left already, so

we're the last of the group.

We are the veritable drunks,

and I have every intention

of getting quite ripe,

and your late arrival provides

me the perfect excuse.

Well, here is to the

perfect excuse.

That's the spirit, my boy!

Yeah.

This guy is not only the

finest doctor, but the kindest.

I can't tell you how many

patients have come up.

Anybody 10 years

younger than me has got,

stay for another round.

As Virgil wrote...

Anna.

Wow.

You look stunning.

I thought

you quit drinking.

I did.

Till tonight.

What happened, peer

pressure from your friends?

Ah, I guess.

I almost had a year.

That sounds about right.

That was the last

time I heard from you.

I was on probation

at the hospital,

and oh, to hell

with all that stuff.

Anyways, I head upstate

before rush hour these days.

You already finish that?

Yes, do try to keep up.

Would you like another?

Put your phone down

and politely answer me.

Yes.

To you.

The one you forgot about.

Oh, I remember that.

Thomas.

Hmm?

Go home.

Hey.

Can we start over again?

From the beginning?

Only if you do

what you promised me.

Let's get outta here.

That's a yes?

Good evening.

Shh.

What?

Relax, you know, there

are people live here.

I got this as a present.

It's gonna torture me.

Yes!

Yes, I will be right back!

Voila.

Do you and Brenda

still have sex?

Not like we did.

I like hearing that.

You calling us we again.

That's pretty.

It used to be my mother's.

I wish she'd met you.

My grandfather used to

live on Central Park West,

and my mother and I

lived with him in

his last sick years.

I remember.

Sometimes my mother would

turn off all the lights

and we'd sit high

above the park,

and she'd read from

Sarah Mae's journal.

Who's that?

An ancestor.

Are you religious?

I always wanted to know.

No.

Do you consider

yourself spiritual?

I'm a doctor.

That's your answer?

I believe you live

and then you die,

and I'm gonna go

to sleep now, okay?

No, Thomas, you

never talk to me.

Well, my father was

a very religious man,

but his religion didn't

allow for medicine,

so I was forced to watch

my mother wither and die,

when science could

have saved her, so.

So you became a doctor.

I don't know why we're

talking about this.

I'm gonna go to sleep now.

Remember our weekend

in the Catskills?

That's when you first promised

me that you'd leave her.

This is a better time for us.

I don't wanna get

ahead of myself but,

I believe in eternity.

Remember the first night we met?

So where should we go?

You live in this building?

I love Central Park West.

This is how you can

remember my name.

♪ Ah Na ♪

I like your two sinks.

Which one does your wife use?

You aren't regretting

this already, are you?

Oh no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no.

Fuck.

Good morning, sweetie pie.

I ran out and I got more

champagne and I made mimosas.

I also got vodka.

I was thinking, we should

go to the park today.

I got a

conference on Monday.

Ah, that's Monday.

No, I need to prepare.

We never do anything

in the daytime together.

I need to prepare.

You can later.

I really wanna have

a picnic in the park.

All right.

Let me look at my

computer, okay?

Okay.

Don't you take off just yet.

I have an idea.

Come here!

So, Anne, you wanna sit here?

No.

Can I give you my private tour?

Sure.

My mother and I used to spend

days discovering the park.

Follow me.

Okay.

There's

an old path here.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I can't trespass.

This used to always be open,

but now it's shut off

so not many people go.

I don't know.

Thomas, no one's

gonna care if you

jump over this low fence.

All right, all

right, all right, here.

See, now

wasn't that fun?

Come on.

It's hard to believe

that this actually exists.

These days if something

isn't on the official map,

it doesn't exist.

Yeah.

Huh.

My mother used to call

this the wise woman tree.

Really?

Sounds like she was

really imaginative.

This is something we

used to do together.

You have to try this with me.

You're insane.

Come on!

You're insane.

I just remembered my

mother buried something here.

That's bizarre.

What was it?

I can't remember

what or where.

Hey look,

Anna, you know,

that's great, but can

we eat, I'm hungry.

That's your way of

ending a discussion, I see.

All I said is that

I'm hungry, okay?

Well let's eat here.

That's fine, let's eat here.

So what do you do these days?

"What do you do?"

Give me a break.

You certainly didn't

care last night.

Excuse me for wanting to get

to know you a little better.

Why don't you ask more

important questions?

Like why were we

brought together again,

alone, here?

I don't know.

I'll give you one guess.

I give up.

Play, come on, hide and seek!

I feel like I'm

with my daughter now.

How is Mandy?

She just turned

15 a few weeks ago.

Lovely.

Now, come on.

Anna!

Come on!

Anna!

This is crazy.

I can't believe this shit.

Anna!

Come on!

Anna!

Anna, come on!

Christ!

Anna, I've been

shouting your name!

Didn't you hear me?

Oh, I guess I didn't.

No?

What is that?

I feel comfortable with you,

so I hope I can

tell you anything.

Yeah?

Like what?

I feel something here.

A presence.

Oh man, cut the crap.

You think I'm kidding,

but I'm receptive.

Okay, good or bad?

I don't know, or

I shouldn't say.

Can you read my

mind right now?

I have a pretty

good idea what you think.

Yeah?

Well I'm thinking that

you're acting fucking cuckoo.

You're an asshole.

Wait.

Wait Thomas, I know,

sometimes I'm too much.

I tried to have an open mind.

The trespassing, the graveyard.

I've had it, I just

can't do this anymore.

Thomas-

- I'm gonna go grab the

rest of our stuff, okay?

No, no, let's make a fire.

What?

Absolutely not.

Why not?

No one would notice.

It's illegal.

Thomas, sit down.

Sit down, okay?

Relax a little, okay?

When do you ever get to

just let go a little?

That's all we're doing, right?

Hang on, hang on.

I'm feeling a little-

- Thomas, kiss me.

I'm feeling a

little not right.

I need to sit down and breathe.

Are you all right?

I'm feeling a little not good.

It's happening again.

I can hear it.

I can hear it calling me.

Hi.

I'd given up hearing from you.

Oh, how's Philly, how's

your sister and Brian?

They're fine.

No, it's actually been

a really good trip.

Oh, Mandy wanted to know

if you'd Skype with her.

Okay, I will.

All right, I love you.

Love you, gotta go.

Hey Dad.

Hey honey.

I'm kinda jealous

you're in the city.

Look, I got that

bracelet you gave me.

I'm working on my

science fair project.

I ran out of time to do that.

I see.

Please don't lecture

me about time management,

because Mom already did that.

I gotta meet Jen.

Chat soon?

Bye.

Oh well.

Here to see Dr.

Winters, right?

Yep, he said

he'd leave me a key

since I'm arriving so late.

Night owl, eh?

Yeah.

Me too.

He didn't mention anything

about a key, though.

Ah, he said you have

one for the cleaning lady.

Yes ma'am.

Don't call me

ma'am, it's Anna.

Here you go, Anna.

Thank you.

My mother used to say that

Central Park was a cemetery

for broken hearts and broken

souls, called The Unrequited,

and they don't rest in peace.

She was one of them.

Sarah Mae too.

Her one wish for me was

that I never become one.

Now that we're back together

again, her wish has come true.

Some people have what

they don't deserve.

What the hell are you doing?

I'm calling the cops.

Hey.

How'd you get in here?

I'm here so you can apologize.

Apologize?

What on Earth would I

have to apologize for?

I'm the one who

woke up in the dark,

and it was startling

to say the least.

I don't know what you're

talking about, you left me.

Oh, give me a break.

Oh, no, no, no, you're

not sitting down.

I want you to gather

up your stuff, okay?

I don't have anything here.

Well then gather up some

of Brenda's stuff you used.

So you're already sick of me?

Oh, oh, hey honey.

How's Philly?

I'm back.

You know I have

patients on Sunday now.

Sorry, I was

just concentrating.

- Yeah!

- What's that noise?

TV, the TV.

So are you still thinking

about coming up here tonight?

Oh, I wish, but I finally

got the dishwasher guy

to come upstate early tomorrow.

Maybe I can meet you after

your conference downtown.

Well let's figure

that out later, okay?

Oh.

My next session's starting.

Hey, you shouldn't get

into stuff like this.

Mind your business, lady.

Hey, oh my god!

Hey.

Are you all right?

I like your elephant.

You can talk to me if you want.

My mom's just not good.

You want a hug?

I gotta go.

Bye.

Yes Mom.

Dearest beloved,

it's happening again.

The ground is calling me.

Anna.

Hey, I have to

ask you something.

I've not

seen you in centuries.

You let the last man go

and the one before that.

You don't follow

through with the ritual.

Why does it have to be Thomas?

Can't I just have a

baby with any guy?

You

remember nothing!

You began the ritual

with Thomas a year ago,

when the Unrequited

Constellation

was aligned with the Black Moon.

So now your curse can only

be lifted by a new life.

- A baby?

- Yes.

Or you could

sacrifice a young virgin,

which I'm sure

you're not up for.

Okay, so I'll

complete it with Thomas,

I'll do it this time.

Nah, you will

be so soft and let him go.

Thanks for your

words of encouragement.

Hey, it's Anna,

your old patient.

I was wondering if

I could come back.

I feel like only

you can help me.

One night, my mother was

really drunk and popping pills.

She convinced herself that

some of Sarah Mae's suggestions

would work on Phillip,

this guy she loved.

After many drinks, they

headed into the park.

I knew what she was doing.

It was what Sarah Mae wrote

about, a spell, black magic.

At first, the spell seemed to

work, because he'd loved her.

I figured I'd head home.

I was pushed from behind.

It was Phillip,

he had the knife.

He said if I did what

he said, I'd be okay.

I saw the world of

dark, and I entered it.

You see me as a bad person.

You're projecting.

How old were you?

12.

Well, I have

something you don't.

Broken people have a

strength you'll never touch.

No, the conference

is an all day event.

Ah, fuck.

No, no, no, no, I'm sorry.

Tuesday, yeah, Tuesday, bye.

Hey, did I miss a call from you?

Yeah, your

girlfriend was here.

Excuse me, I'm married.

Anyways, I

didn't know if you were home.

She left.

Hey Vincent.

As a doorman,

it's my job to keep

everyone's business

to themselves.

I appreciate that.

Do you still have

season tickets?

Yes I do.

My nephew's

birthday's coming up.

Oh.

I see.

Thanks.

Hey.

Yeah.

Hey, I don't like how

I just ran out earlier,

so I just wanted to

say a proper goodbye,

because that seems

to be what you want.

Okay, thanks, I appreciate it.

Wait, wait!

What?

So goodbye?

Goodbye, Anna.

No, no, no.

We should at least have a

walk in the park or something.

- A last one.

- No, no, I-

Thomas!

It's gotta be quick,

let's go, come on.

It's so gorgeous out tonight.

Oh Thomas, I love this spot.

What?

I love this.

Yeah.

- It looks great, yeah.

- Yeah.

Yeah.

Do you hear that?

What?

Anna.

I didn't hear it.

I don't see anything you see,

and I don't hear

anything you hear.

I never have, okay?

So, goodbye.

Goodbye, Anna.

Thomas!

I knew he was back to

prescribing pills for himself,

mixed with intense drinking.

The sweats, the behavior.

After all, I knew him.

I knew him very well.

Thomas!

You can't just leave me.

Hey, hey.

I'm her boyfriend, okay guys?

Is she okay?

Yeah, she's fine.

I'm her boyfriend.

She has these episodes,

I'm her boyfriend

and her doctor, okay?

You want us to call

the police or anything?

Oh, that's not

necessary, it really isn't,

it really isn't.

It looks a lot worse than it is.

Hey honey.

I'm her doctor, you guys.

Okay, thank you.

One, two, and three.

Okay, we did it.

You okay?

All right, let me

get your purse.

No, no, no, I got you,

I got you, I got you.

It's gonna be fine.

Let's go now, let's go home.

All right, ready?

Thanks, you guys!

I don't know what

happened out there.

I'll tell you

after I rest more.

You asked who my

ancestor Sarah Mae was.

She'd been thrown out of Ireland

for doing spells and magic,

and even though her

country was in the middle

of the great potato famine,

her town bought her a ticket

to the new world

on a coffin ship.

Called that because so

many people died aboard.

Sarah Mae found her

way to Seneca Village,

the village they destroyed

to build Central Park.

There were schools, churches.

History doesn't mention the

darker side of the village.

Here Sarah Mae met her people,

West Africans who

taught her voodoo,

which she really made her own.

They worshiped, they prayed.

I won't tell you

who they prayed to.

Thomas, kiss me.

No.

Kiss me.

No.

Tear me apart.

Stop it.

You shouldn't drink like that.

What the hell do you care?

You don't give a shit about me.

Okay, so rest up and you

can leave in the morning.

Well, if you want me to

go then, I'll just go now.

Okay, if that's what you want.

Nice.

You know what-

- You arrogant fuck.

You know what, you win.

That's it.

Bitch, I'm done

with you, let's go.

Uh-uh, I think

it's time we talk

about the elephant in

the room, sit down.

Okay.

What would that be?

The fact that we

both know it's time

for you to leave Brenda.

Thomas, I love you.

Tell me you love me,

it'll probably feel good

to get it out in the open.

Come here.

I will never love you.

You told me.

What woman would believe a

man who says year after year

he's gonna leave his wife,

and he never does it?

You said you wanted

to have a baby with me.

That was a long

time ago, I was drunk!

I could've had a life.

A family.

It's too late now.

Bullshit.

You'd make a horrible,

horrible fuckin' mother.

Good to hear what

you really think of me.

You need to get

the fuck outta here.

Get the fuck outta here.

Anyhow,

we already performed the ritual.

Or most of it, anyway.

What the fuck

you talking about?

Well, it was broken up, but

some of it was we made love,

spun around, I

bundled the twigs.

Oh, but you don't

believe in that stuff.

You need to get

outta here, right now.

Say you love me.

Go to fuckin' hell.

Okay.

Fine, I'll get outta

your fucking life!

Maybe you just want me to jump

outta this fucking window!

Bye!

Have you seen anyone?

Oh, come on.

Those season

tickets, I have 'em.

You can have as many as you

fuckin' want, just tell me.

Have you seen anyone?

Thank you.

And no, I haven't seen anyone.

Thanks.

Good night, Thomas.

Good night.

Thomas.

The last thing I wanted

to do was hurt you,

but it's still on the list.

If I follow through with

the unnameable with you,

you won't be my first.

Are you nuts?

I'm not going in

the park with you!

My cat has never been

gone for that long before.

It's been three weeks.

There's a way, but

it's my premium service.

Okay, that's fine.

Whatever it is,

I'm willing to pay.

Hi Thomas.

Vincent, hey.

Question.

These security cameras are

all around the building?

Who's in charge of those?

Not me.

No, not you?

Who then?

Well, it

used to be Hector.

Hector.

Who's Hector?

I'm just gonna be straight

with you, the system broke.

It was never replaced.

The cameras are basically

just for show now.

Really?

So it's all bullshit?

Pretty much.

Okay, thanks.

Anytime.

Why are you still in the city?

You'd be proud,

I was a speaker

at the American Board of

Ophthalmology convention today.

I'm like so sorry

I missed that.

So how'd your

science project go?

Mandy!

Oh my god, Dad!

What is going on with you?

I just saw a figure

pass behind you.

Don't joke around like that.

Mandy, it's very immature.

Dad, I wouldn't lie

to you, I promise.

I've had it with

your schoolgirl pranks.

I'm signing off.

Bye bye.

I like being out with

my beautiful wife.

Give me a break.

The only time you compliment

me is when you're wasted.

Come on, I'll drive us upstate.

No.

Why are you drinking?

What happened?

Brenda, I'm having a

glass of wine, I'm fine.

Bullshit.

You never have just one.

Come on.

Look, aren't gonna ask

me how my speech was, hm?

How was your day?

Well, I got a message

from a former patient,

wants to return to therapy.

Oh, and?

And we weren't very

successful a few years ago.

I believe if a patient

reaches out for help,

you should give him

a second chance.

Anyone who thinks

that only someone else

can save them is already lost.

I can't believe

you just said that.

I can't believe it.

Why?

Am I the only one

who can save you?

I just realized, I can't

come upstate with you.

Why?

An emergency surgery

came up, for the morning.

You sure you can do a surgery?

Go upstate.

I don't wanna leave you

when you're like this.

I just wanna be alone.

Please?

You know what?

Fine.

Could I have another?

You must think

about when we first met.

Which one does your wife use?

Look, it's three-three-three.

Won't you pray with me?

We should go in the park.

It's amazing in the dark.

I really wanna give

you my private tour.

Come on.

Follow me.

There's a path back here.

♪ Central Park ♪

♪ Quiet and dark ♪

♪ Circle the fire ♪

♪ Come meet me ♪

♪ When it's three-three-three ♪

Come when I call.

There are so many hidden

symbols in the park.

The Unrequited can

read them, of course.

Sarah Mae was very

close with one

of the architects of the park.

They worshiped together.

I won't tell you which.

I'm a part of a long,

powerful history.

Lifting the Unrequited

Curse has steps.

It starts simply,

ends rather badly.

It's sort of a game.

After all, isn't that

what you played with me?

Or maybe it's more

like a puzzle.

Remember when we

went to the fair?

You won me a teddy bear.

Oh, Thomas, I loved you.

I want you to know I did

struggle with this decision.

But if you

want to lift the curse

and have a baby, it's

time to do the unnameable.

It's Thomas's day of reckoning.

I'd never do

anything like that.

I'd been doing really good.

Okay, fine.

Your way.

Beloved, I call thee.

Ye heart that longs and yearns.

Love unrequited, twice burns.

Only sacrifice or new

life cures the pain.

Then you return

to thyself again.

Follow the dark

towards eternity.

Listen, the ground

is calling me.

The ground is calling me.

Got it.

Thomas.

- Hey.

- The usual?

Tommy boy,

so great to see you.

Hey, retirement is fabulous.

Sometimes Eddie lets

me watch the news here

instead of at home.

What is it?

Start from the beginning.

Eddie, can you turn

the news down, please?

My hearing.

George, can I trust you?

Absolutely.

I fucked up.

I mean, at your retirement

party, I met this girl.

And I thought it

was only gonna be

like a one night thing, but

it's continued, you know.

She won't stop calling me-

- Doctor, hold on.

I need something stronger.

You fucked up, Tommy.

I did.

Yeah.

Now listen to me clearly.

If you wanna save your marriage-

- I do.

- Mea culpa, mea culpa.

Tell Brenda now.

I don't think I can.

Fuck your ego, Tommy.

You could lose everything.

Okay.

I'm gonna tell her.

Hey, your girlfriend, I mean

your blonde friend was here.

She said she'll meet you

at the pond at 11 p.m.

What?

She said meet her at the

pond at 11 p.m., as planned.

Okay, thanks.

Thank you, Vincent.

You're welcome.

Hi, it's Thomas.

I'm not feeling

well, I have the flu.

Would you have Roberts

take my calls today?

I'm sure I'll feel

better tomorrow, thanks.

Bye.

Wow, I'm just in my

own world, I guess.

Yeah, exactly why I thought

I'd come and see you tonight.

I have a few

appointments tomorrow.

I thought you'd

appreciate the company.

That's great, honey.

I haven't been drinking.

I'm your wife, I'm not your

babysitter or your sponsor.

I know.

Listen.

I'm sorry about the other night.

I'm starting at day

one again, okay?

I'm glad to hear it.

Oh, how'd those get so dirty?

I wasn't wearing 'em.

Certainly not my style.

You know, Mandy called

me in an absolute fright

about your Skype

call the other night.

She was pranking me.

I'm just not tolerating

that kind of thing.

I don't think she'd do that.

She's a teenager now.

And?

I don't know.

Thomas, she sounded

really frightened.

Kiss me.

Tear me apart.

The heart that longs and yearns,

love unrequited twice burns.

Only sacrifice or new

life cures the pain.

Then you return to thyself.

Follow the dark

towards eternity.

Listen, the ground

is calling thee.

Follow the dark,

follow the dark.

Only sacrifice or new life.

Shh, you'll wake the baby.

Thomas.

What's wrong?

I had a nightmare.

Jesus, I'll get

you some aspirin.

What's this?

It's a little trinket I found.

I thought you'd like it.

I like

your wrapping paper.

It reminds me of something.

Let's just try to

get some sleep.

Hello.

You're still in bed?

I'm catching up on some rest.

Well, you

probably needed it.

Most of the night you were

shouting bloody murder.

I had some intense nightmares.

What do you

think brought these on?

Don't shrink me.

I wasn't.

Well, get your lazy

bones out of bed.

I'm getting up.

You're finally

coming upstate tonight, right?

Yeah, yes, this evening.

Okay, love you.

Hey, excuse me.

Oh, no, I was just wondering

when the church is open?

The church?

They turn this

building into condos now.

Really?

Yeah.

Where were you all this time?

I wanted to see a priest.

Can't help ya.

They're not good anyhow.

No?

Nobody is, right?

Hey.

Mom says you think I was

playing a trick on you.

Not true.

I'm happy to see my

beautiful daughter.

That's not an apology.

Love

unrequited twice burns.

The ground is calling.

Hello, I'm

calling about your services.

This is Sarah Mae.

Shall we begin?

Yes.

Are

there any spirits

who would like to

speak to Thomas?

Anna!

I'm not getting anything.

Okay, so what do we do now?

We should leave.

Already?

Yes.

Okay.

I'm

sorry, these things

are not an exact science.

Yeah, maybe it was all,

you know, just in my head.

Do you promise not to yell?

Okay.

So I remembered

what my mother buried.

Can you guess?

A body?

Whose?

Why?

I've no idea.

Well, you have time

to think about it.

A little time, anyway.

You think you're gonna

actually dig a grave?

What are you doing?

Nothing you could

possibly understand.

Untie me.

Let me go, please.

Your voice is getting

too loud for my taste.

Anyway.

Hey.

It was great seeing you again.

Now you can do whatever

you wanna do to me.

I intend to.

I don't need your approval.

But I just want you

to know something, Anna,

I always cared about you.

Always.

It wasn't just a front for me.

You're just saying that now.

But when I first met you,

I knew you were special.

Special how?

That you

were the one for me.

That it was my destiny.

You don't believe

in that stuff.

I believe in us.

Do you mean that?

Yes, I do.

I'm a really great person

once you get to know me.

I know that, Anna.

I will leave Brenda

like I promised you.

We'll have a big fancy

dinner tomorrow night

at your favorite spot.

Wear a dress.

Although you always look pretty.

Untie me, please.

Untie me.

Can I just come

home with you tonight?

No, I

wanna do this right.

Tomorrow night, where?

Chez Jean Pierre, 7:00 p.m.

Hey, hey, don't follow me.

Go before I change my mind.

I have a date.

Something to take the edge off?

Once you told me that

if I wish upon a star,

I'm millions of years too late.

This one's on me.

This is war, my dear.

And Mandy.

Yes, I'm sorry, go ahead.

Thomas, I just

wanted to make sure

you weren't running

late or something.

Call me.

Don't you

remember what I told you?

So now your curse can only

be lifted by a new life.

- A baby?

- Yes.

Or you could

sacrifice a young virgin,

which I'm sure

you're not up for.

Oh, thank god you're here.

Don't!

I've not been feeling well.

I figured out who

this belonged to.

It's a pretty sick gift, Thomas.

I'm sorry.

I don't even know who

the hell you are anymore.

I'm ashamed to be

married to someone

who's attracted to such a

terribly disturbed person.

Brenda, I'm so, so sorry.

She was a client of

mine two years ago.

I had no idea.

Well she did.

Anna was enraged when

I ended our sessions.

I told her she had

to stop drinking

if she wanted our

therapy to continue,

and I knew that she couldn't.

I hated our sessions.

She believed she was a witch.

Now that I do believe.

You have clearly

fucking lost it!

Brenda, I swear, I-

- I don't wanna

see you ever again.

Let's talk, you tell

your patients to forgive.

Oh, don't you dare!

Go to hell, Thomas.

I need you, Brenda.

Don't come near me.

Just realized something.

I'm free of you.

Oh Brenda, please don't go!

Hello?

Dad?

Hey, Vincent.

Don't smoke.

Have you seen my father?

No, but he's been spending

a lot of time in the park.

Okay.

Well don't go there now.

It's way too late.

Excuse me?

Have you seen a man, 50 years

old, six feet, black hair?

Sorry, no.

Do you speak to spirits?

Not always.

I think my father

has some like

otherworldly things

happening to him.

Your father is in great pain.

Do you know

where I can find him?

Yes, Thomas, Mandy came here.

I think she went looking

for you in the park.

Okay look, I need

you to go in the back

and give me the gun back there.

What?

I don't have time for

this bullshit, Vincent.

Go in the back and get me

that gun and give it to me.

We got rid of it.

You did?

Fuckin' Christ.

Oh, flashlight.

Yeah.

I'm so

glad I ran into you.

I'm gonna let you

in on a little secret.

Okay.

The ground

is calling you.

Get away from me!

No, please!

No, please.

Walk around the candles.

Please, no!

You think about making

a run for it, you're done.

Walk faster.

Ow.

I hurt my ankle.

Please, help me.

Ow.

Please, help!

Please, help.

Okay.

All right, I'll help you.

Ow, my ankle.

Use this as a crutch.

Don't put any weight on it.

Go.

Go, and call your dad.

Okay.

Oh my god.

When she hurt her

ankle, I had to help her.

In the end I guess I

did the right thing.

I'm a decent human being.

Are you decent?

Are you human?

Either way, your curse remains.

- Tom, Thomas?

- Hey.

Hey.

Can I give you

a hand with that?

Oh no, no, no.

No, I'm exercising.

It's just heavy, you

don't wanna do it,

you'll hurt your

back or something.

All right, Thomas.

You have a nice evening.

You too.

Oh, fuck.

Okay, come on.

Hey Mandy, it's your father.

I just got a missed

call from you,

and I was hoping you'd call

me back as soon as you can

and let me know that

you're okay, okay hon?

No!

Mandy.

Forgive me, honey.

Honey, I'm okay.

I mean, oh.

I need help.

What did the

blonde say when she

found out that she was pregnant?

"Are you sure it's mine?"

Hey.

Get out of here.

Get out of here!

After several

months' investigation

into the seven men

who have gone missing

in Central Park's bramble,

a clue has emerged.

Authorities have asked that

if you see anything like this,

notify them immediately.

Back to you.
