Subtitles by explosiveskull

Dispatch,
one-zero.

Again, the
corner of Roth Hill Road

is jammed with police who
are combing this crime scene.

Cops are talking with
area residents.

They're trying to put together
the pieces

that led to this murder.

No suspects in custody
at this point,

meaning the killer according to
the police

is still at large.

I'm your host,
Baron Blood,



and I will be your guide
to the dark.

Adriana,

wake up.

Spook
Show Theater.

Tonight on Channel 12.

Hello,

everybody.

Hello.

Well, that was
very good.

Now I wanna see how well
you boys and girls can sing,

and the voices of
those out there.

I want you to all join
me in singing

the new Magic Clown song.

Watch your television and
you sing along with you.



I wanna hear how well
you've learned it.

Are we ready, orchestra?

Crank up the band.

Dreams again.

Visions.

Are they in
the same vein as before?

Yes and no.

They seem

more surreal.

More frightening.

It's like a waking nightmare.

I'm, I'm trapped
and can't escape.

Yet, I'm fully aware
that I'm dreaming.

The suppressed feelings
that you have

for your mother and your father,

combined with all
of the feelings

that you're having
in your current life,

they're all coming together in
like this,

this whirlwind of
emotion for you,

and their realizing themselves
in your dreams, visions.

Yeah, but

it feels real.

You know, one minute I'm in
it and everything's fine,

and then the next
thing there's these,

these things,

and then there's
this dark figure

and he,

he starts killing everyone
around me.

Everyone that I know
and care about.

Anyone that I interact with.

Are there any new stressors
in your life right now?

Um,

I, no, I, I don't know
if it's stress.

It's, it's big though, I, um,

I booked, I booked the lead
in the Nutcracker this year.

- That's great.
- Yeah.

That's good.

You're happy.

I am, yeah.

So what's the stress?

In ballet, it's really
competitive between dancers

and we always are encouraging
each other

but everyone wants the lead,

and um,

Elaina's been the lead
every, every Christmas.

This is, this is the first,
the first time

that another dancer
has gotten it,

so,

um,

it's just been, I don't know
if stressful, it's been tense

It's possible that Elaina
could be part

of this dark figure that
you're dreaming about.

Yeah, I know.

That makes sense,

but wouldn't the
Enfemerol help with this?

I thought that that's,
it was supposed

to help with the stress and
the, and the visions and?

The Enfemerol is just
an experimental drug.

I mean, we're giving you
a very, very low dosage

just to see if it's
going to work.

That's not the real medicine,
though.

The most important medicine
for you is your mind.

Whenever you're feeling
stressed out,

this is a very optimal
exercise for you, okay?

- Okay.
- So just relax

your shoulders, close your eyes.

Now envision yourself
on the stage.

You're giving the
best performance

you've ever given in
your whole life.

The audience is loving it.

All the dancers

are so proud to be led by you.

What does that make you say?

Thank you.

Gratefulness.

Positivity.

Adriana, I want you to go out

and do things that bring you
joy, with no repercussions.

You just experience the joy,

let it get into every cell of
your being,

and just stay with it as
long as you can.

Okay.

Okay?

Okay.

And remember this leather
couch here,

this is not beginning
and end of our therapy.

You have an episode, you call
me on the phone, anytime.

Thank you, Dr. Cassinelli.

Carlina, remember?

Okay?

Okay.

Woo.

Ow-ooh

- Thank you, thank you.
- Now that's the stuff.

What are you
doing here?

Well, I was gonna
ask you the same thing,

but I see you're getting
some extra practice in

to show the rest of the troupe
up, huh?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Mm-huh.

I don't need extra practice.

Oh,

well.

No, I'm just kidding.

Um, I had a little extra
steam I needed to blow off.

Well, I'm glad your skinny
ass got in a hell of a workout.

- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.

And why is that?

'Cause now
you have plenty of room

for Italian food and wine,
right?

Oh, always.

I won't tell Ms. Valli
if you won't.

Please don't.

Are these child size?

You know my arm wouldn't
fit through those.

Shut up.

Ow.

Well, here it is.

Well we
appreciate you allowing us

to write this story.

I'll only need a few days to
collect the proper sources.

I'm the only journalist
on the entire project,

so

what day works best this
week for you to let me in?

There is never
a good day.

I could work with your
schedule, morning, evenings.

I can let you in
at 10 a.m. tomorrow.

No earlier than that.

I have a tour starting at one,

I need you outta here by 12:30.

You cannot disrupt the tour.

Well, when's your tour over?

I can let you back in
at 8 p.m. Friday night,

after my afternoon shift,

but I need advance
proper notice,

and I can't have you
moving everything around

because I don't wanna
have to move

everything back again
for the tour.

Well, I will
be respectful.

You have my word.

Is it true that everyone died?

That's what they say.

That's terrible.

1892,

right?

Listen,

a word of advice.

They don't know they're dead.

So don't be asking 'em
all these stupid questions

like you've been
pestering me with.

Right.

And don't talk
to the children.

They will follow you home.

So, I haven't seen
him in years.

He shows up straight
out of jail,

in the carpool line,
singing bible songs.

No?

Yeah, and even when the vice
principal told him to stop,

he still kept tapping his foot
to the beat

and told 23 kindergartners,

"I just want you people to
know, I love you people."

Oh yeah, just a small
glimpse into my childhood.

You know, Ms. Valli
says that nothing tastes

as good as skinny feels,

but I bet that bitch
has never eaten pasta.

Screw Ms. Valli.

Anything else I can get for
you ladies?

Um, more bread.

Bread?

Sure.

She was a little salty.

She probably
just had a bad day.

Oh.

So, what did your parents do

about your bible singing Uncle
on coke?

Oh, he fit it great
into our family.

After he got kicked
out of school,

he, ah,

came with us on a family trip,

where they got high on LSD the
whole time.

Mm-hmm.

The whole state of Florida,

they thought they
were on a cloud.

- Are you serious?
- Mm-hmm.

Okay, it makes sense now.

I know why we're best friends.

- Mm-hmm?
- We're both fucked up

in the head.

- Mm.
- Yeah.

These meatballs look weird.

Mm.

Addy?

Addy, what is it?

You don't like your pasta, what?

I'm sorry.

Show's over.

You want a fucking autograph?

It's not real.

Adriana,

it's not

real.

You're okay.

You're okay.

It's not real.

It's not real.

Do you want a ride home or
not, Gigi?

No, no, I told you, it's okay.

I only live a block away.

And as tipsy as you are,

you may not make it there.

The walk and the fresh
air will sober me right up.

Just sleep it off.

We don't need you too hung
over for dance class tomorrow.

Yeah, yeah, you too.

Alright.

Be safe.

See you tomorrow.

You can take me.

You can take me now.

We left the
club last night around 11.

She was drunk but not wasted

to the point she
couldn't get home.

I tried calling
her when I got here.

It's not like her to be late.

She's probably
just sleeping it off.

It doesn't look good.

Ms. Valli won't approve.

Huh, what does
she approve?

Give me that tape right there.

Can you hand me the scissors?

Thanks.

Hey, kiddo.

You doing alright?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Listen Berna, I'm sorry about
last night,

I don't know what happened.

Don't you dare
apologize to me.

It's okay.

I understand.

Thanks.

What's going on over there?

Oh, Gigi hasn't shown up yet.

Ellie said they went
clubbing again last night.

Are you serious?

When will she ever learn?

She's never been one to focus
on what's important, though.

Speaking of what's important,

I've got to make my tits
look like a 12 year old boy

so Ms. Valli thinks I'm
making some progress.

That's not happening.

Shut up.

Ow.

And Porte de Bra, ladies.

Janice, Berna,
Elaina soft shoulders.

Very nice.

Very nice.

Adriana, your work is exquisite.

Absolutely perfect.

Perfect.

And ladies, let's go on
to our next exercise.

Shall we?

I know, class today was crazy.

Yeah, Ms. Valli was
really nice.

Look at those.

That's kinda creepy.

A little bit.

They're funny.

I like that one.

Oh,

hey Addy, um,
are you doing alright?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Yeah, you sure about that?

Yeah, I'm, I'm serious,
I'm fine.

Um, well your shitfit
at the restaurant yesterday

didn't seem like you were fine.

Yeah, um, I've been meaning
to apologize about that,

I'm, I'm sorry, Berna.

Don't apologize,
just what's up?

Um, I, I dunno, it's
kinda hard to explain.

I get these like, I don't know,

like, kind of like a
panic attack.

I've got 'em since I was little

but they've been getting worse.

But I'm on medicine for them
now, so it's helping, I think.

Yeah, well you could have
fooled me.

Berna.

Hey, I just, you know,
I just, I worry about you.

You're my best friend.

And I'd hate to have to kick
your ass.

Huh, yeah, you wish.

- Mm-hmm.
- If I let you.

Shut up.

Ow.

How can I explain
what I can't even comprehend?

To dream about someone I've
never met.

Never seen,

over and over.

Like a movie playing in my
head on constant repeat.

I can smell her sweet perfume.

I feel as though I could
touch her.

Taste the saltiness of her skin.

Who is she?

What is she?

And why is she
haunting my dreams?

Or is this simply a sign
of something preeminent?

Or have I gone mad?

She couldn't have been
from the facility.

Welcome back
my little ones.

It's your old pal, Baron Blood.

Here to bring you another
creepy episode

of Channel 12's Spook
Show Theater.

Tonight's movie is the
dastardly classic,

Night of the Living Dead.

Igor?

Yes, master?

Roll the film.

Right away, master.

My parents
will be home in an hour.

So what, you
want me to just stop?

I know, but what
if they came home early?

You know?

Well, I guess they
can just watch.

Maybe I should get that.

What, why?

What if it's my parents?

Elaina, we're kind of
in the middle

of something right now.

Okay, sure, fuck it.

Don't be such a prick, Seth.

Hello?

Yeah, I'm, I'm home.

Yeah, I'm fine, why?

What?

What is it, is she okay?

Mom, what's going on?

Mom?

Are you there?

Seth?

Seth?

Are you still here?

Every time something negative
comes up,

you have to replace it
with a positive feeling.

We talk about this all the time.

It's not
easy, it's not easy.

It's Gigi.

What, what about her?

She was, um,
found yesterday morning.

The police think it
was a break-in.

What do you mean found?

She's dead, Addy.

No,

what?

And they found her in
a pool of her own blood.

Some sick bastard slit her
throat and removed her eyes.

What?

- Oh, God.
- No, no, no, no.

This is not happening again.

- This is not happening.
- Oh my God, you've heard.

- No, no, no, no, God, no.
- I'm sorry, girls, I'm so....

Don't touch me.

Addy, calm down.

Don't tell me to
fucking calm down.

No.

Do you hear what you said?

Her throat was slit.

Oh my, God.

Oh my, God.

Oh my, God.

Oh, baby.

You broke my heart, you
broke my fucking heart.

My girls, what's happening
to my girls?

Oh,

God.

Hello?

Warren, is that you?

Warren?

Don't need that bill.

Okay.

Ew.

Blast.

Squeak.

And scratch.

That pouch.

He's been chasing you
for this pouch?

I'm too weak to make it
to Port Hill right now,

but I can throw him
off your trail.

Just make sure you guard
that pouch with your life.

Good luck.

Hello?

Dr. Cassinelli,

it's Adriana.

What's going on, what's wrong?

I don't know who
else to talk to.

Well, tell me what's going on?

You have to calm down, okay?

Just, what's happening?

The visions, the,
the nightmares,

they just keep coming back,
and...

Okay, stop.

You just have to breathe.

Okay, you have to stop
and relax and breathe

for a second because I
can't understand you.

I can't keep going
through this.

I need you to relax.

No, I can't, I can't.

Calm yourself, breathe.

Okay?

Okay, come over, we'll talk
about it,

we'll get through this, okay?

Together.

Okay.

Don't worry.

Okay.

I'm coming.

Okay, tell me what's going on.

My mind.

My visions, they're coming real.

I'm going crazy, Carlina.

You are not going crazy,
stop it.

Grab ahold of yourself.

They're not

real.

- No.
- I guess nothing that

I've said to you's mattered,
has it?

- Has it?
- No, it has.

It has, I've been trying.

Carlina, I've been trying.

I tried the positivity exercise,

- I tried to say it wasn't real.
- I wanna, I wanna

show you something, okay?

Look, I have been listening
to everything

that you've told me, okay?

Everything that you've been
going through.

I've been listening to you.

I found this book.

It's all about dreams
and the supernatural.

People in it,
they have seen these

old,

dead,

creatures.

See that, that's like
what you described to me.

They're called the Malevolent.

Alright, they're based
on religions,

legends,

and folklore.

Yes, they are.

And you what know they are?

They're, they're
spiritual beings

or

supernatural entities.

Those, those are what
I saw in my visions.

These are what I've
seen in my visions.

They're real.

They are not real.

I got this book to show
you that it is not real.

Not that it's real.

This is

supernatural.

This is fiction.

- No.
- There are reasons

that people see these things.

They have visions.

It's because of your
parents and your situation,

or it's because of
hallucinations,

or, or sleep paralysis or
something can bring this on.

No, no it's real.

It's not from sleep, it's, I'm
not, it's not psychological,

it's not in my mind, it's real.

My visions are coming true.

Gigi died and Bernie told me,

and Bernie would
never lie to me.

Bernie would not lie to me.

Listen to me.

Look at you.

Look at you.

This is not the girl I know.

Pull yourself together.

Do you trust me?

Yes.

You trust me?

Just trust me.

Stop crying.

I need you to leave me alone.

Whatever you are.

Remember what
I told you.

This is in your mind.

You can control this.

This is not you.

I can't.

I need you.

What do you want
from me?

I can't tell you.

I can only show you.

I need you to leave
me alone.

What do you need to show me?

Come with me.

I remember when you,

me and Elaina

were little.

We used to beg our
parents to bring us here.

Gosh,

we used to play for hours.

I'm gonna miss you so much.

Okay.

Okay.

No, no, please, please, no.

Please, don't.

Adriana?

Adriana?

Oh.

Shit.

Oh,

no.

Morning news
rundown, I'm David Shifter.

A 24 year old Richmond
woman was found dead

in her apartment this morning.

Police say Gigi Langdon was
murdered in a brutal attack.

Neighbors reported hearing
a commotion over night.

Police are investigating
the possibility

the crime is connected
to the murder

of another woman, Elaina Kemper.

The motive behind the incident

- remains a mystery this hour,
- Elaina.

as does the identity of...

Oh, my God.

Ms. Valli?

Hi, sweetie.

Up here.

What's going on?

Elaina's body
was found this morning.

She was murdered the way
Gigi was.

What?

Huh,

what is happening?

The police are
shutting down the school.

Their investigation is centered
around the employees here.

And I've got some more bad news.

Janice's parents filed a
missing person

on her this morning.

So this is it then?

Warren and I are packing up,

locking the doors this
afternoon.

I know, honey.

I know.

You don't have to hang around.

Go out, have fun.

I'm gonna go
check on Addy.

But be careful.

What trauma?

What trauma?

Maybe, maybe, maybe.

Okay.

Officer's were called to
a home at 4 Thomas Street

on Sunday just after 11 p.m.

They found the bodies of Darren
Mena, 44,

and his wife, Juliana, 40,

both of who died from
injuries they suffered

due to multiple stab wounds

and slicing to their jugulars.

The most heinous
act of this crime

was the fact that both the
Mena's eyes

had been removed by a blade

after they succumbed
to their injuries.

Oh, my God.

The only survivor, the Mena's

eight year old daughter,
Adriana.

Police still have no
suspects at this point.

Addy?

Are you okay?

Addy?

Where are you?

I'm afraid.

Addy, what happened?

Berna, I'm losing
my mind.

I'm scared.

I can't sleep,

but I can't be awake anymore.

I can't,

I'm losing my mind.

I can't control my mind anymore.

I can't control it.

It's alright,
it's okay, it's okay.

I don't want you to see
me lose my mind.

Listen, listen, hey, c'mon,
c'mon.

Hey, hey, I'm not gonna
let anything happen to you.

Okay.

Yeah.

Addy,
what's the matter?

No.

Addy, come on.

No,

run.

Run.

No.

Addy?

Addy, please.

Please don't do this.

I don't wanna hurt you.

Please.

Please.

Please.

Please.

Don't do this.

Please.

Addy.

This isn't you.

This isn't my best friend.

Your call has been forwarded

to an automatic voice
message system.

At the tone, please record
your message.

When you have
finished recording,

you may hang up or press
one for more options.

Hey, Adriana,
it's Carlina.

I'm, ah, a little worried,

I tried calling your cell phone.

Um, look, I, I really
wanted to discuss

some things with you,

ah, and talk to you
about last night,

but I guess you're not home
right now,

so I'm gonna try stopping
by the theater.

Um, yeah, I really hope that
you're gonna talk to me.

Okay, uh, see you over
there, I hope, bye-bye.

I'm gonna miss you.

Warren?

Warren?

We're wrapping it up, babe.

C'mon.

Warren, what the fuck?

So, I'm supposed to
follow you.

So where would I follow you?

You

are,

you are

a dancer.

You're a dancer.

Where would dancers be?

Dance schools.

Dance recitals.

Costume shops.

Dance theaters.

Adriana,

this isn't you.

Stop it.

Adriana.

I've been murdered.

I am Adriana.

I'm a murderer.

Is anyone here?

Adriana?

Adriana?

Adriana?

Ah, shit.

Shit.

You look at me.

Look at me.

It's me.

Doctor Cassinelli.

Remember what I told you.

This is in your mind.

You can control this.

This is not you.

Adriana, c'mon,
you gotta fight it.

Fight it.

Adriana?

You have to fight this.

You have

what is known as a
dissociative identity disorder.

You have a split personality.

Only you can't control
it, it is controlling you.

Adriana, stop this.

You can stop it.

Do you know why they never

found the killers
of your parents?

Because it was you.

That's right.

You created another
identity that was evil.

Out of, out of a need to,

to

disenfranchise yourself
with your emotions.

You need to control this.

Carlina.

I know.

Okay, okay.

I don't understand.

I don't understand, I
didn't mean to do it.

I don't understand, I, I,

I took the medicine you gave me.

I took it, you, you said it
would help me

and it didn't help me.

I took the medicine, I took it.

And I still killed them,
but I didn't, I didn't kill.

It made the
other personality stronger.

Sorta Like

an alpha personality.

And it's been in control
every since, honey.

But you've gotta fight it, okay?

No.

No.

What?

Carlina, run.

Fight it.

Carlina, run.

No, I'm not going.

Run.

No.

Come on.

No.

They're here.

You're not welcome here.

You're not welcome.

This is my body.

Leave.

Leave, leave

leave.

Carlina?

Carlina?

I'm so, so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Just take me.

Just take me already.

My last few months on
earth were full of lessons.

I was forced to face the past,

and ultimately acknowledge
the truth about myself.

I was a killer.

I not only killed my parents,

but went on to kill
every person in my life

who loved me, uplifted me,

supported me

Those who I cared about
the most, I destroyed.

My psyche dissociated.

It served to protect
me from facing

the consequences of
what I had done

by repressing the truth.

However, it also constantly
reminded me

of how I truly felt
about myself,

and I believed
myself to be unworthy,

unlovable,

bad,

evil,

and that I only deserved
judgment and punishment.

When I was chosen to be
the lead in the ballet,

the fragmented part of my mind
was brought to the surface,

and the killer that I had
repressed became active again.

I couldn't handle something
good happening to me

when I felt at the
core of my being

that I only deserved punishment.

I was living out an extreme
version of the mind tricks

that most people play
out on themselves daily.

I just realized it too late.
