Dead Silence Page #5

And not long after that,

she was murdered.

Who killed her?

No one ever found out.

In her will, Mary stated that her

dummies were to be buried with her,

her children,

as she called them.

All 101 of them.

Her body was brought

to my father's mortuary,

so he could begin work

on her other final request.

Not only did she ask

to be buried with her dolls,

she asked to become

a doll herself.

Henry, are you all right?

Ever since she was buried, Ravens

Fair has been plagued by death,

families murdered.

They were found

without their tongues.

Posed in family portraits.

Your wife's is the last.

How could you take

these pictures?

No, I have to take pictures.

It's part of my business.

Who would have dug up

the dummy and sent it to me?

I don't know.

No one in this town dares

speak Mary Shaw's name,

let alone go near her grave.

They know she won't stop

killing until the screaming does.

You said she lived out

at that old theater, right?

The one on Lost Lake?

Jamie!

Jamie, please!

Please be careful.

If you go looking for answers,

you just might find them.

That's what I'm counting on.

Morning, Mary.

I'm just going to go

check in on the kids.

Mama! Mama! Mama.

MARION:
What do you want

with him? What is it?

What do you want?

We did what you wanted.

We put you in there with

your family, all together.

Why can't you

just leave us alone?

MARY SHAW:
Why won't you?

I didn't do anything!

Yes, you did. You talked.

I didn't talk! I didn't!

I didn't say anything!

I didn't!

Hey!

Say something.

Why have you gone so quiet?

I'm putting you back where

you belong, once and for all!

- He talked to me!

- Stop it!

He did, he talked to me,

he talked to me.

(SOBBING)

Marion?

Marion, I'm sorry

I yelled at you.

Marion?

You don't have

to hide anymore.

This will all be over soon.

Marion?

Marion?

Marion, now

you come on out now!

(SOBBING)

Ma...

Marion?

Marion, open the door.

Marion! Come on,

no games, Marion!

Open the door!

(AMBIENT NOISE DISAPPEARING)

(SHOUTING)

Marion, open this door,

please! Marion!

BILLY:
Hello, Henry!

Oh, my God.

(SCREAMING)

(LAUGHING)

You're voice

is mine now, Henry.

Jamie, you're

just in time for dinner.

I'm not hungry.

It's soup.

Delicious, too,

if I must say so myself.

I'll vouch for that.

I didn't come here to eat,

I came to talk

about Mary Shaw.

You lied to me.

No, I didn't.

- Sit down.

- No, I want the truth.

What does Michael Ashen and our

family have to do with Mary Shaw?

Fine.

When he was a boy,

your great-uncle, Michael

Ashen, vanished without a trace.

For our family, there

was only ever one suspect,
