and a deep belief that she's not wanted.

I believe that's what's triggering

these fantastic episodes.

She told me she found a little tray filled

with teeth right inside that fireplace.

Yeah. She found a tooth,

but that doesn't mean anything, does it?

She's constructing this elaborate fantasy

about wrinkles, claws, fangs.

She's individuated

each one of those things,

her imaginary world, its inhabitants.

It's as detailed as any

I've ever encountered.

What do we do?

I'd like to try her on a

stronger medication, for a start.

I'll ask her doctor in LA to send me a copy

of her charts.

You call my office,

make another appointment.

Okay, great.

Meanwhile, I'll give you something

to help her sleep.

I'm going to be late. I can't believe it.

If we don't get the extension on this loan,

we're not going to get the paintings

or the furniture back on time.

We forgot the invitations

for the historical society.

Maybe we should just

postpone the dinner.

Kim, it's Architectural Digest.

We have to get the house on the cover.

- I know.

- If we don't,

I'm never going to get my career back,

and we're not going to sell the place.

- How often have we talked about this?

- What about what's been happening?

Harris? That was an accident.

It doesn't matter if we see it.

- Come on!

- Calm down!

I'm going to walk. It'll be faster.

I'll see you back at home.

I'm not sure how lucid he'll be.

He's pretty heavily sedated.

Mr. Harris, I know this is difficult,

but I need to understand something.

I need to know what Sally saw

so that I can help her.

Is she out of the house?

No.

Out.

She needs to be out of there.

Why?

Why was that room sealed up?

Grandfather.

Your grandfather closed it up?

- Yes.

- Why?

After...

After...

Blackwood.

What about Blackwood?

Lot 1134.

Public library.

Get her out of the house.

The library will be closing in 15 minutes.

The library will be closing in 15 minutes.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

- Can I help you?

- I'm looking for the librarian.

Lot 1134.

Emerson Blackwood, Special Collections.

One sec.

Right this way.

Can't remember the last time

anyone requested these. They're beautiful.

I'm a designer.

I've been working at Fallen Mill.

Wow. Now, that's a privilege.

Personally, I think Emerson Blackwood

Come across his mural?

A mural? Where?

There in the house, supposedly.

If you do, I'd love to see it.
