Central Park Dark (2021) - full transcript

A one-night stand turns into a never-ending nightmare. A married doctor has a one-night stand with an unstable woman who jumps out of his window, then begins to torment him, though it's unclear if she is still alive or not.

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!

Anna!

Come on!

Anna!

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
