The Crooked Man Page #2

the maker of heaven

and earth."

In accordance with his wishes,

we now return Steven

to the earth,

which he enjoyed so much.

This must feel familiar for you.

You're gonna start that now?

It would've been her birthday

today, you know that?

No.

She's in a graveyard nearby

if you wanna pay your respects.

I'm sure she'd love

to hear from you.

I didn't do anything to her,

and you know it.

Funny, because there was

only one person

holding the knife

that killed her,

and it wasn't the boogeyman.

Hey, hey, forget it.

They're not worth

the aggravation.

You don't know what it's like.

Maybe not, but my b*tch meter

is pretty reliable.

Anything I can do?

Is swatting Violet an option?

Maybe an anonymous

noise complaint?

Actually, I could use a favor.

Okay.

Can you give me photos

of Steven's body?

Why?

Call it a hunch.

We already know what happened.

You know what the witness said.

My dad would have my badge.

It's important.

I won't say anything to anybody.

I swear.

Hello, Jill.

Let her go!

Let her go!

Mrs. Hutchinson.

The next-door neighbor called

and said she thought

someone was trying

to break into my house.

I'm sorry. I didn't...

I thought the place was empty.

Haven't you done enough already?

I know what you're thinking,

and you have to believe me.

I didn't hurt Jill.

I heard all about the evil ghost

man or whatever you said it was.

I'm here to find the answers.

You may have convinced everybody

else that you're crazy,

but I know exactly what you are.

Hear that?

That is the sound of Karma.

I'd leave before they get here,

if I were you.

Did you just see that?

Thank you, Noah.

That's not possible.

- This is Noah.

- Jill. Six years ago.

The face, contorted body,

it's the same.

What if he came back?

Who?

The crooked man.

Olive, are you...

The lyrics said,

"down your crooked paths,

he follows."

- Here you go.

- "Paths." Plural.

What if he's coming after

everyone who was in the house?

Look, you wanted to see photos,

I sent you photos.

You want my advice?

Drop it.

One more favor.

Can you look up the file

on Jill?

- Olive...

- I just want to see

if she had any broken bones too.

I told you,

Steven fell out a window.

Just check.

All right, I'll think about it,

but I gotta run, okay?

Okay.

Whoa.

Mrs. Larson?

Oh.

Help me!

Why are you digging up

that old case?

I ran into Olivia Shaw at

the Sanderson funeral yesterday.

She tell you how they found

her standing over Jill's body?

Covered in blood,

holding the knife

that matched the stab wounds?

It says here the victim

had multiple broken bones.

You don't think that was

relevant to bring up in court?
