Armenian Haunting Page #4

Are you ready?

Should I start?

Your grandmother and your

mother came to my shop

a few weeks ago, around

the same time Sevan,

may he rest in peace, knocked on my door.

They had the same

questions as you have now.

I put the puzzle pieces together quickly.

And I knew almost instantly

that this was a family affair.

A curse of some sorts.

[Maro] So I was right.

Sevan knew about all this.

It seemed he wasn't convinced,

but he told me about the

dreams he was having.

Dreams he'd wake up from

that would still continue moments later.

[Maro] Dreams?

A man with broken legs and arms.

It can't be.

Your grandmother asked me if

I could stop a family curse.

I asked her what the curse was.

She told me it came from a man

when she was a young girl in Turkey.

Her mother broke a promise

she'd given to this man.

Did you ask her what the promise was?

Before she answered,

your mother stepped in and

they just left.

A piece of work your mother is.

That's it?

Nothing else?

I told you all I know.

Sevan didn't seem to know the

specifics of that promise,

but I knew that man was doomed

the minute I laid eyes on him.

I told him to be careful.

Nobody listens.

You too, I told you.

It's all in the family.

You're having those dreams, huh?

I loved my brother, and I do miss him.

No question about it.

My mom is devastated.

[Maro] Have you been

having strange dreams?

Like what?

[Maro] Like scary

sh*t, ghosts, monsters?

Not since I was four.

I'm being serious.

Sevan had one of those

dreams before he died.

How did you know?

[Maro] I talked to a psychic.

(chuckling)

Oh, what are you doing, cousin?

There's something suspicious

about your brother's death

and I need to know the answers.

[Arsen] What are you talking about?

I overheard Tatik talking

to herself about some curse,

and a promise that was made.

Tatik is old as f***, man.

That's what old people

do, talk to themselves.

[Maro] Did he say anything to you?

Did he behave in a strange way?

Look, Sevan had been distant

since he had that fight with dad about

his non-Armenian girlfriend.

Who's hot as hell, by the way.

But you know our dad,

he's a hardcore Armenian.

He was really f***in' angry

when Sevan brought Clara to dinner.

I'm like, "It's 2015,

can we just like move on

"with the whole Armenians

must marry Armenian bullshit?"

After that, Sevan sort

of drifted away a little.

He did let me use bimmer though.

I really miss him.

(car horn honking)

I gotta go, cousin.

[Maro] We're not done yet!

[Arsen] Sorry, we can continue later.

Hey bro, what took you so long?

That little sh*t is lying.

I can tell, he knows something.

He either doesn't want
