Dead Silence Page #6

Mary Shaw.

So, they dealt

their own justice.

(ALL SHOUTING)

They forced her to scream.

(MARY SHAW SCREAMING)

Then cut out her tongue.

Our family killed her?

Along with others

from Ravens Fair.

But she didn't stay dead.

She came back

and took her revenge.

One by one, each of the men

involved were killed.

Their tongues ripped out.

And then the same thing

happened to their wives.

And then their children.

And their children's children.

All these years you've resented

me for sending you away,

but I did it to distance you

from this curse.

Distance?

Well, it found Lisa!

Lisa's death made me realize

we can't run from our fate.

Spirits have long memories.

She'll come for us in the end.

Now I'm paying

for the sins of my fathers.

Jamie, I'm sorry.

All I ever meant to do was to protect

you, even if it earned your hatred.

I don't know how,

but one way or another,

I'm going to stop this thing.

Please, Son!

Well, hey, there!

I was wondering if you could help

me with a missing person's case.

Wait.

I'm looking for a male, brown

hair, he's around this tall,

sometimes seen

with a hand up his ass.

Actually, his brothers and sisters

have just gone missing, too.

What are you talking about?

Somebody dug them up.

All 100 of them.

What I want to know is

who did it and why.

So do I!

Don't give me some ghost story about

a woman who kills you if you scream,

because nobody in this town

has ever heard of Mary Shaw

or your little fairy tale.

They're lying!

They're afraid!

Afraid of what?

Afraid of ghosts?

Or are they afraid of talking to the cop

who's investigating your wife's murder?

They have no reason

to protect me.

But they believe in Mary Shaw.

That's why they won't answer

your stupid questions.

No, it's you who won't

answer my questions, Jamie.

That's why I'm going to arrest

you for stealing evidence.

Then I'm going to sit

you down, and you will...

What do you want

me to tell you?

Something less perplexing

than a ghost story. Come on.

Jamie, is everything

all right?

It's for you.

They said it was urgent.

Go ahead.

- Hello?

- HENRY ON PHONE: Jamie.

Who is this?

Jamie?

Henry?

(DISTORTED) I can prove it.

Henry, I can't hear you,

you're breaking up.

I can prove it.

I can... you didn't kill her.

There's a way, at the theater.

Meet me at the theater.

It's on Lost Lake.

Yeah, I know where it is.

Now, Jamie.

Henry, wait!

What have you found?

Henry! Henry!

That was Henry Walker

from the funeral home.

He says he can prove

I didn't kill my wife.

Convenient time for

him to call. Let's go.

Wait, wait, wait. I'm going

to meet him at the theater.

That's where I'm going.

No, you're going with me.
