Armenian Haunting Page #2

---

He said I wouldn't understand.

And then, something about his family

escaping Turkey in 1915.

(dramatic music)

Maro?

I gotta go.

Maro?

I've looked into every

psychic in LA named Aida.

There are literally 35 of them.

Who knows if that's even their real name?

After sifting through

all of these charlatans,

I came across one Aida

that hit all the marks.

Armenian?

Check.

Does coffee readings?

Check.

Lives in North Hollywood?

Check.

She might be able to

provide some information

about Sevan's last days

and this so-called curse.

(sighing)

I don't even know if I

believe in any of this

superstitious mumbo-jumbo.

Ugh, I can't believe I have

to drive to the Valley...

(mysterious music)

25 bucks, and you can't

afford better coffee?

If you came here for

coffee, go to Starbucks.

There's one on Sherman

Way, around the corner.

Now drink up.

What now?

Now, we wait.

I'm just being straightforward.

I'm not sure that I believe

in any of this abracadabra.

Is that so?

So why are you here?

You spoke to my cousin

Sevan a few weeks ago.

What did you tell him?

I never betray my

clients' confidentiality.

I have dozens of Sevans

walking through that door

on a weekly basis.

[Maro] This one died

a couple of weeks ago.

You need to start talking,

or I will have to ask you to leave.

No refund.

My cousin Sevan died

shortly after he visited you.

They said he had a heart attack.

But I know there's something

they're not telling me.

What did he say when he was here?

What did you tell him?

Nobody listens to what I have to say.

They come here, they pay for my advice,

but nobody ever listens.

Sevan had all the signs of

a marked man, a cursed man.

I read for him.

I told him the truth.

I always tell the truth,

no matter how bad it is.

His coffee...

It had a loop in it,

circling around like a snake.

Like a noose, ready to

squeeze at the right moment.

Tell me more about the curse.

[Aida] Your family had been

cursed a long, long time ago.

A sleeper curse.

Sleeper curse?

A curse placed by a

very patient person...

Is usually brought on by

the victims themselves.

What-what does that mean?

You are a part of this curse.

The loop is tightening.

(scoffs)

What about the promise?

[Aida] What promise?

Was there a promise?

(objects clattering)

(wind howling)

You must go now!

No, not until you answer me!

Get out!

Get out of my house now!

Tell me about the promise!

It's all in the family,

the family, the family...

(tense music)

(eerie raspy breathing)

(dramatic music)

(screaming)

(gasping)

(breathing heavily)

(gasping)

[David] Maro-jan?

Why are you awake?

Oh, bad dream.

[David] You and the whole family.
