00:00:00One last time, I have to see this ground.
00:00:11It's beautiful now, as if nothing had happened here.
00:00:17Soon they will tear down the main house, and then nothing will be left.
00:00:21Nothing.
00:00:23Except what I remember.
00:00:27I grew up in the town nearby.
00:00:30Where my father was the mayor, and where this house stood waiting for me.
00:00:35It was built by Wilfred Butler.
00:00:39We had never seen him, and he never lived at home.
00:00:44Until the day before Christmas, in 1950, he finally did come back.
00:00:50For the last time.
00:00:52I'd catch you, Joe.
00:00:57I THimate the house.
00:00:58Let's go.
00:01:02Go.
00:01:02Go.
00:01:02Go, Joe.
00:01:04Come on!
00:01:05Come on!
00:01:07Come on!
00:01:08All of us believe that his death was an accident.
00:01:38No one knew that another person had come to Butler House that Christmas.
00:02:08Deputy Coroner of the County of Arlington, State of Massachusetts, I hereby find upon evidence of an autopsy conducted by the medical examiner of this county,
00:02:18that the deceased Wilford Butler died as a result of burns inflicted accidentally upon himself on his own premises during the afternoon of December 24, 1950.
00:02:31No further inquiry shall be held over the body of the deceased, and this inquest is officially closed.
00:02:39All is calm, all is bright, round yon virgin, mother and child.
00:06:00For 20 years, that house lay empty, exactly as Wilfred left it.
00:06:08And then, last year, rumors began that it was finally being sold.
00:06:13The newspaper story traveled through the county to a state hospital for the criminally insane.
00:06:22And there we go.
00:06:31It hurts! It hurts!
00:07:01Real! Real! Real! Real! Real! Real!
00:07:31The man who came to sell the house had never seen it.
00:07:35He was a lawyer from the city.
00:07:37Just doing a job and enjoying it.
00:07:45Stop!
00:07:46And look serious, please.
00:07:50Oh, you're hopeless.
00:07:54Oh, look!
00:07:56Hey, wait, where are you going now?
00:07:57The mayor's gonna have a fit, kid.
00:08:01One more shot.
00:08:04Come on.
00:08:07Stay there.
00:08:08I want one together.
00:08:10It's mine.
00:08:21For all the news as it happens, stay tuned to WLIX, your voice in the Northeast.
00:08:25This is Roger Fowler with Local Stories.
00:08:28First, today's headlines.
00:08:29A warehouse fire still rages in Elizabeth.
00:08:32Police suspect arson.
00:08:33That escaped inmate at Margaret Mill State Hospital, still at large, still hunted by state police.
00:08:38And over in Roxbury, the city passes a controversial housing code.
00:08:42I'm not sure what's going on in the near of the city.
00:08:45I should've stopped and left.
00:08:46But as soon as you know, he's going inside.
00:08:47But I'm flying outside.
00:08:48He's on the east side of the city.
00:08:49I should have gotten him off now.
00:08:50And here's the one's gonna get him on the east side of the woods.
00:08:51I'm trying to get him off now.
00:08:52And here's the one's gonna get him off now.
00:08:54Good night for you.
00:08:55I'm not gonna get you off now.
00:08:56I'm not getting to see you on the right side of the island.
00:08:59No!
00:09:00I do not get him off.
00:09:01But there's no idea.
00:09:02I'm not getting me off now.
00:09:03Let's go.
00:09:33Well, didn't I tell you?
00:09:53It's beautiful.
00:09:54Can we see the rest of it?
00:09:57Honey, that was it.
00:09:59I think the mayor's waiting for me.
00:10:01My love is such an important man.
00:10:05Right. Laura always says that.
00:10:10Darling.
00:10:11What?
00:10:13Don't be long.
00:10:17Honey, if you get bored, just look at the view.
00:10:21Sooner or later, that viaduct's gonna take us back home.
00:10:31Help us.
00:10:34Bye.
00:10:35Alright, let me go.
00:10:40Let me go.
00:10:41Mr. Carter, Mr. Mayor.
00:11:11Let me introduce you. This is Charlie Toman, who publishes our weekly newspaper, The Patriot.
00:11:19Mr. Toman?
00:11:22And this is Tess Howard. She operates our switchboard.
00:11:27We call her the communications director.
00:11:31And this is Bill Mason, our sheriff.
00:11:36Won't you sit there, Mr. Carter? At the head of the table.
00:11:46I didn't expect to meet you all together. It's quite a reception.
00:12:06All right. Let's begin.
00:12:10As you know, I've been retained by Jeffrey Butler.
00:12:14The matter concerns the house that he inherited from his grandfather, Wilfred Butler.
00:12:22Go on, Mr. Carter.
00:12:26I believe that you offered to buy the house for my client.
00:12:30Offered? We begged him. We wrote letters and we...
00:12:33That's enough, Tess.
00:12:35Well, it's true.
00:12:37Trouble. There's always trouble.
00:12:39I can sympathize.
00:12:40I spent the last 20 years and more driving people away from there.
00:12:45Prowlers, burglars, kids. They're the worst.
00:12:49Chasing for nothing because of that will.
00:12:53That drivel about humanity.
00:12:56No, no, no. Inhumanity. What the hell is that, huh?
00:13:03Yes, well, he was a bitter man.
00:13:07Hate? It must have been very hard.
00:13:08It must have been hate.
00:13:15That man hated. Well, some people are like that.
00:13:19Where can canceried my grandmother?
00:13:21No, no, no.
00:13:22MUSIC TWO
00:13:37ALL
00:13:39categories
00:13:43of
00:13:44Oh, my God.
00:14:14The question is, well, do you still want the house?
00:14:21Are you offering it to us, Mr. Carter?
00:14:24Exactly.
00:14:27Why now?
00:14:30Well, that's Mr. Butler's business, isn't it?
00:14:34You know, we're not rich.
00:14:37Most of us came here during the Depression.
00:14:41But we love this town.
00:14:44It's our home.
00:14:46And naturally, you want to improve it.
00:14:49Exactly.
00:14:51My client understands that, and he fully sympathizes,
00:14:54and he's willing to sacrifice the house
00:14:57for $50,000
00:14:59in cash
00:15:01by noon tomorrow.
00:15:03That's an awful lot of cash.
00:15:11It's also an awfully good bargain.
00:15:13You could go to Wilton.
00:15:16You could go now, to the bank.
00:15:17Am I clearly understood?
00:15:25All that cash.
00:15:28Perfect.
00:15:29I'll wait for your answer till tomorrow.
00:15:31You're spending the night here?
00:15:35Yes.
00:15:36May I ask where?
00:15:39At the Butler house.
00:15:42We could put you up at the motel,
00:15:44as our guest.
00:15:46No, no, the house is fine.
00:15:48The Paradise Motel.
00:15:50That's very kind of you,
00:15:52but I'm meeting Mr. Butler about some personal items.
00:15:55You'll want a phone.
00:15:56I can reconnect the line.
00:15:58Don't trouble, please.
00:16:00No trouble.
00:16:02You'll need a phone.
00:16:03Don't want to be stuck out there.
00:16:05Well, you've convinced me.
00:16:13By the way,
00:16:15have you known Mr. Butler a long time?
00:16:18No, I've never met him.
00:16:19He called me and asked me
00:16:20if I'd handle this for him.
00:16:21I said yes.
00:16:22He had the key delivered to my office.
00:16:24Mr. Mayor, Sheriff,
00:16:26Mr. Toman,
00:16:28Mr. Howard,
00:16:29see you all tomorrow.
00:16:32In fact, I'm, uh,
00:16:34I'm looking forward to it.
00:16:45Slick.
00:16:45Really slick.
00:16:47He's a big lawyer, Bill.
00:16:48You've got to expect that.
00:16:49Don't tell me about lawyers.
00:16:51Oh, you see the way he looked at us?
00:16:52You see his clothes?
00:16:53He's doing his job.
00:16:56Just don't tell me about lawyers.
00:16:58You know what I like to see?
00:16:59Two of them like that
00:17:00when talking to each other.
00:17:02Neither one of them
00:17:02would know what to believe.
00:17:04I love you, too.

00:17:06I'm going to have a nice,
00:17:07nice surprise for you.

00:22:49The people who lived here.
00:22:52They must have had a wonderful life.
00:22:55Well, I hope they did.
00:22:57Wilford Butler must have believed in something.
00:23:00I believe it.
00:23:01Look at that stone fireplace.
00:23:02The parquet floor.
00:23:04The mahogany.
00:23:05This table.
00:23:06You probably think this place is made of wood, right?
00:23:09Well...
00:23:10Wrong.
00:23:11You know what his grandson told him?
00:23:12Underneath that wood, there's two feet of stone.
00:23:15The foundation is eight bricks wide.
00:23:18Now, someday, they're gonna come in here,
00:23:19and they're gonna tear this place down,
00:23:20and they're gonna build little tract houses
00:23:22all over this property
00:23:24on quarter-acre and half-acre lots.
00:23:27And that bulldozer's gonna come up that hill
00:23:30toward this house.
00:23:32And it's gonna get the surprise of its life.
00:23:36They built a kingdom out here.
00:23:38Only nobody's left.
00:23:40No? Butler has a grandson.
00:23:43No.
00:23:44No.
00:23:45It's probably like the rest of us wants money.
00:23:48You know, he's asking $50,000 cash for this place,
00:23:51and for the only way he can get all he can get,
00:23:53at least $250,000.
00:23:56But he won't take his time.
00:24:00So he'll get screwed.
00:24:02Do you want to go upstairs now?
00:24:09Soon.
00:24:10You know, one of the great pleasures in life
00:24:15is the pleasure of anticipating pleasure.
00:24:18Isn't it?
00:24:20We are very close now, aren't we?
00:24:24Sure, honey.
00:24:26Very close.
00:24:34I don't see any beds yet.
00:24:36Well, keep looking, honey.
00:24:38Butler has said the place is furnished.
00:24:51Yeah.
00:24:52It's furnished.
00:25:14Anything doing?
00:25:15No, sir. But look at this.
00:25:16More football, huh?
00:25:18Look how they smeared that quarterback.
00:25:20Look at his arm.
00:25:21Got no time now.
00:25:22No task.
00:25:23How about that telephone up at the Butler house?
00:25:25Is it working?
00:25:27Well, try it now. I'll wait.
00:25:30Hello?

00:32:33Oh, my God.
00:32:34Where is everybody?
00:32:36Hello?
00:32:38Oh, my God, where is everybody?
00:32:39Hello?
00:32:41Hello?
00:32:42Oh, my God, where is everybody?
00:32:43Oh, my God, where is everybody?
00:33:04Hello?
00:33:06Oh, Maggie, thank goodness.
00:33:09What is it, Tess?
00:33:11Something's come up.
00:33:12Something urgent.
00:33:13Can you start early?
00:33:14Oh, honey, I'm watching TV.
00:33:16Maggie Daly, you get yourself over here.
00:33:18What?
00:33:20Just get moving, Maggie.
00:33:22Just please, hurry.
00:33:51Let's go.
00:34:21Let's go.
00:34:51Come in.
00:34:58It's open.
00:35:03Okay, mister, that's far enough.
00:35:05What do you want here?
00:35:08Mayor.
00:35:09Try again.
00:35:10My father's not home.
00:35:12And don't move.
00:35:13You want me to put my hands up?
00:35:15No.
00:35:16Just stay there.
00:35:19What are you staring at?
00:35:20I seem to remember you from the road.
00:35:22That's why I'm holding a gun.
00:35:24You scare me.
00:35:25That makes sense.
00:35:26Thanks.
00:35:27Does everybody carry one here?
00:35:29You can ask the sheriff when he gets here.
00:35:31I'll call him.
00:35:32I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the sheriff's office is empty.
00:35:38How do you know?
00:35:40I was just there.
00:35:42Who are you?
00:35:44Jeffrey Butler.
00:35:45Oh, you're the one who's selling the house.
00:35:50Yes.
00:35:52Have you any ID?
00:35:54Come on.
00:35:55Don't laugh at me.
00:35:57I want your ID.
00:35:58Some maniac escaped from Margaretville.
00:36:00I want your ID on the table.
00:36:06Okay.
00:36:13Put it on the table.
00:36:19Now go back.
00:36:30California license.
00:36:34Lucky you.
00:36:37Would you like to see my maniac card from the asylum?
00:36:41They'll give you one when you escape.
00:36:43There's a big Scarlet M on it so people won't get confused.
00:36:47Okay.
00:36:48Look, I'm sorry about the gun.
00:36:50My father's in Wilton getting your money.
00:36:55All I want to do is to get into my house.
00:36:57This sheriff's deputy might have a key.
00:37:00He's about the only one I know of.
00:37:03But where's he?
00:37:04You go down the road about a mile and a half
00:37:06till you come to a white house with a white fence.
00:37:09And then you can't miss it.
00:37:12Thanks.
00:37:13That's okay.
00:37:15Merry Christmas.
00:37:19Same to you.
00:37:27If I don't call back in an hour...
00:37:30What?
00:37:32Call the mayor or Mr. Tone and nobody else.
00:37:37Promise me you'll do that.
00:37:39Well, sure.
00:37:41Mark it down, honey.
00:37:43So you'll have it.
00:37:46Sheriff to 301.
00:37:47I'm heading west on route 5 to Butler House.
00:37:50You'll hear from me.
00:37:51What the hell?
00:38:03Is that light out there?
00:38:21We'll hear from you.
00:38:51Let's go.
00:39:21Oh, oh.
00:39:42Hi. Hi.
00:39:43Did you find the deputy?
00:39:45No, I wasn't there.
00:39:47Oh.
00:39:49I was thinking.
00:39:51Isn't your lawyer supposed to be at the house?
00:39:54The door was locked.
00:39:56His car was there, so I borrowed it.
00:39:58You mean you stole a car?
00:40:01Yeah.
00:40:03Keeping it warm.
00:40:05What if he needs it?
00:40:06Let him find me.
00:40:08Who's coming to dinner?
00:40:10Oh.
00:40:11Daddy.
00:40:12We always have dinner every Thursday.
00:40:14Do you want something?
00:40:17No.
00:40:18I ate Paradise Motel.
00:40:20Yeah, I know.
00:40:21It's awful.
00:40:22What about a drink?
00:40:24Yeah.
00:40:27It's, uh, cheap bourbon, but that's a big favorite around here.
00:40:33Do you want ice?
00:40:34No, straight.
00:40:40You look tired.
00:40:41I have time.
00:40:42Well, here's to a fast dollar.
00:40:46Cheers.
00:40:56Why did you decide to sell the house?
00:40:58I needed the cash.
00:41:01After all these years?
00:41:03I need to know.
00:41:05What's it like on the inside?
00:41:11You know, I've never seen the inside.
00:41:14When I was a child, my father told me to stay away from it for something terrible might happen.
00:41:20Sort of like a haunted house.
00:41:24I haven't seen it either.
00:41:26You're gonna sell it and you've never seen it?
00:41:28Yeah.
00:41:31I don't know.
00:41:32It's too bad.
00:41:33It's about the only place to see around here.
00:41:35Oh, I forgot.
00:41:37Someone keeps calling with a message for my father.
00:41:40She says that she's waiting at your house.
00:41:43In the reception room.
00:41:46What woman is waiting in my house in the reception room?
00:41:49Oh, I don't know.
00:41:50It's, it's not a voice that I know.
00:41:55I better go out then.
00:41:57Can I come too?
00:41:59What for?
00:42:02I'm pushy.
00:42:05I suppose you'll be going back to California soon.
00:42:08California.
00:42:13You said you lived there, remember?
00:42:14No, I'll be traveling.
00:42:17Jeff, look.
00:42:18It's the sheriff's car.
00:42:38There's a light.
00:42:39Look at that tombstone.
00:42:40Pretty cheerful.
00:42:41Who bears the cross shall wear the crown.
00:42:43Wilfrid Butler.

00:46:06Mr. Towman, wait.
00:46:22No, please, I have to talk to you.
00:46:27I'm sorry, this is Jeffrey Butler.
00:46:29He's the one who's selling the house.
00:46:32He can't get inside the place.
00:46:34And my father's gone to Wilton.
00:46:36So we wondered...
00:46:37Anything wrong?
00:46:45He'll tell us.
00:46:48Tess...
00:46:49has gone to his house.
00:46:53Why would she go there?
00:46:55I don't know.
00:46:56Anyway, she won't get in.
00:46:59You say it's locked.
00:47:04He says she hates the place.
00:47:07Would you like to drive there?
00:47:11Diana could stay here, lock herself in.
00:47:13I need a key.
00:47:15I need a key.
00:47:23I need a key.
00:47:25I need a key.
00:47:29I need a key.
00:47:54Oh, man, this isn't my house.
00:48:10It's Tess's.
00:48:24Well, Tess isn't here, are you satisfied?
00:48:45She must have gone to my place.
00:48:50Why wouldn't she go there?
00:48:57She hates it.
00:49:03Maybe she went to see the woman who's there.
00:49:06Someone called the mayor's house before, said she'd be waiting.
00:49:17Let's go.
00:49:20Let's go.

00:49:56Who is this?
00:50:09I'm Diane Adams.
00:50:11I spoke to you before.
00:50:14Bring your father to the house.
00:50:18This is Marianne.
00:50:20Tell him I have the diary.
00:50:23I'm waiting.
00:50:24Who are you?
00:50:25He'll know.
00:50:26He'll know.
00:50:27Christmas Eve, 1935.
00:50:31Hello?
00:50:32Hello.
00:50:33Hello.
00:50:34Hey, come on.
00:50:35Hello.
00:50:36Be quiet.
00:50:376, 7, 8.
00:50:50Oh, 7, 0.
00:50:555, 6, 7, 8.
00:51:03Call 704, signal 10, 704, C-Charlie.
00:51:07Call 704, signal 10, 704, C-Charlie.
00:51:25Call 704, signal 10, 704, C-Charlie.
00:51:55Call 704, signal 10, 704, C-Charlie.
00:52:25Call 704, signal 10, 704, C-Charlie.
00:52:55Call 804, signal 10, 71, 804, C-Charlie.
00:52:57Tess, you can't see me, but I can see you.
00:53:27You're older now, and fat, but still, Tess, and you're frightened, aren't you?
00:53:45Don't be afraid. I want to help you.
00:53:51Take my hand. Take it, Tess.
00:53:57No.
00:54:04The person on the telephone said 1935, Christmas Eve, but that's not the beginning.
00:54:18In 1927, Butler House was restored by Wilfred Butler.
00:54:23After that, I find social notes, parties, nothing special.
00:54:29Then, in 1930, Butler's wife, Catherine, dies of tuberculosis.
00:54:36In August 1933, it starts, Wilfred Butler's daughter is cruelly attacked and raped.
00:54:46Her name is Mary Ann, the same name as the caller who left those messages tonight.
00:54:52She's 15, then.
00:54:55On May 2, 1934, Mary Ann Butler gives birth to a son, Jeffrey Butler.
00:55:04Jeff.
00:55:05Early in 1935, Butler House is turned over to a Dr. Robinson as an asylum for mental patients.
00:55:16And then, Butler goes on.
00:55:17And then, Butler goes on to say that he has committed his own daughter.
00:55:22Mary Ann will live at the asylum.
00:55:25There's no end to this story.
00:55:28It's been carefully cut out of all the papers.
00:55:32Why would Toman do that?
00:55:34Why would Toman do that?
00:56:02Why would Toman do that?
00:56:19You scared me.
00:56:22What happened?
00:56:23What happened is, um, Tess has 40 bird cages.
00:56:27Toman is hysterical.
00:56:30Everybody's in my house but me.
00:56:32It's cold outside and you forgot to lock the door.
00:56:36Jeff, how old are you?
00:56:39How old am I? You mean how many years have I lived?
00:56:42No. There's a lot in the paper about your family.
00:56:46I don't want to talk about my family.
00:56:48Wait a minute. There's a woman calling and she says her name is Mary Ann.
00:56:53That was your mother's name, wasn't it?
00:56:55My mother died in childbirth.
00:56:57That's... that's when I started trodling.
00:57:02It's not what the papers say.
00:57:06What's your point?
00:57:09I just thought that you should read something for your own good.
00:57:14Nothing you could tell me about my past or future would be for my own good.
00:57:24Where is the paper?
00:57:26It's on the table.
00:57:27It's so stupid to lie.
00:57:50I missed the whole event.
00:57:52Jeff, maybe your mother's still alive.
00:57:56Maybe she's waiting for you at the house.
00:58:01I don't know.
00:58:08Come on.
00:58:10No more side trips.
00:58:12Let's go out there.
00:58:13Go out there.
00:58:14I don't know.
00:58:14Go out there.
00:58:15Go out there.
00:58:23Go out there.
00:58:23Go out there.
00:58:24Go out there.
00:58:55Atonement card!
00:59:07It's empty.
00:59:25Jeff, look!
00:59:31Oh, my God!
00:59:33Stay back!
00:59:35It's Talman!
00:59:37Stay back!
00:59:39Oh, my God!
00:59:43Stay back!
00:59:45It's Talman!
00:59:47Stay back!
00:59:49It's Talman!
00:59:51Stay back!
00:59:53Oh!
00:59:55Oh!
00:59:57Oh!
00:59:59Oh!
01:00:01Oh!
01:00:03Oh!
01:00:05Oh!
01:00:07Oh, my God!
01:00:09Oh!
01:00:11Oh, my God!
01:00:13Oh, my God!
01:00:15She's dead.
01:00:45His hands.
01:01:00Somebody cut off his hands.
01:01:04You killed him.
01:01:07You killed Tolman.
01:01:09He's asking for help.
01:01:12You killed him.
01:01:14Get in the car.
01:01:44Get in the car.
01:01:51Get in the car.
01:01:53Get in the car.
01:01:59Get in the car.
01:02:06Get in the car.
01:02:08Get in the car.
01:02:11Get in the car.
01:02:14Get in the car.
01:02:29Butler's house.
01:02:33The keys.
01:02:34He took them.
01:02:40Get in the car.
01:02:55Hello?
01:03:11Hello, Mr. Mayor.
01:03:14Yes, what?
01:03:16This is Marianne Butler.
01:03:19I'm calling from my house.
01:03:22Won't you come over here, Mr. Mayor?
01:03:25We're having a reunion.
01:03:30Everyone's here.
01:03:32Even your daughter.
01:03:55She's going to be home with her.
01:03:57Many children're here.
01:03:59I love you.
01:04:00If you have a child, we'll see you on the desk.
01:04:04You'll have a seat.
01:04:05Good night.
01:04:06Good night.
01:04:08Good night.
01:04:13Good night.
01:04:14Good night.
01:04:14Thank you so much.
01:04:16Good night.
01:04:17Good morning.
01:04:17Good morning.
01:04:18Good night.
01:04:19Good night.
01:04:19Good morning.
01:04:19Good night.
01:04:21Good night.
01:04:21Good night.
01:04:22Good night.
01:05:53I turned my house into an asylum.
01:05:56I brought doctors to live there.
01:05:58I welcomed other patients.
01:06:02Eustace.
01:06:03All of it.
01:06:04I remembered what she had been.
01:06:11There was never a lovelier, happier child.
01:06:13Ladies and gentlemen, quiet, please.
01:06:37By Christmas of the first year, I knew that I must act.
01:06:45Not for myself, but for my helpless child.
01:06:48Led him to create this institution.
01:06:51Our friend.
01:06:52I had no plan.
01:06:54All I knew was that I must take care from these men.
01:06:58With their promises.
01:07:00Their lies.
01:07:01Shall we?
01:07:02For he's a jolly good fellow.
01:07:12For he's a jolly good fellow.
01:07:14For he's a jolly good fellow.
01:07:16I knew that they would gorge themselves into a stupor that afternoon.
01:07:35It was their celebration.
01:07:38I expected no less.
01:07:40Since they had come into my house, they had acted as if they owned it.
01:07:43They had behaved like poor relations, half guilty, but finally unable to control their appetites.
01:08:13After dinner, they danced and drank as they usually did.
01:08:29All the time, Robinson would smile and reassure me.
01:08:34They expected me to believe because I had no choice.
01:08:38Wilfred, trust me.
01:08:44He really believed Marianne would be well.
01:08:47He saw a light.
01:08:49There is a light at the end of a long tunnel.
01:08:52Believe me.
01:08:55There is a light.
01:08:57At the end of a long tunnel.
01:09:00Stay here, doctor.
01:09:09I'll get more champagne.
01:09:11He was ready.
01:09:12I knew it.
01:09:13Drunk and fat and full of his own importance.
01:09:17I left then.
01:09:19I came back.
01:09:38I got Ohio.
01:09:42I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm sympathy.
01:09:44Yeah.
01:11:15But I swear that on that afternoon, all I wanted was to save my child.
01:11:21My hope was to get her away from that house.
01:11:39But also, I wanted to set free those other wrecks who had so long been abused by the doctors.
01:12:16I knew what they might do if these inmates were freed.
01:12:21And this is my guilt.
01:12:24I knew.
01:12:27And still, I freed them.
01:12:46I knew.
01:12:53I knew.
01:17:03After the inmates started for the house, I went to get a car to take Marianne away.
01:17:10I do not know exactly when she slipped away from me.
01:17:16I assume that when they saw her in the dining room, the inmates believed her to be part of
01:17:24that household which they hated.
01:17:26And so, they killed her.
01:17:30Later, there was a celebration.
01:17:34And then most of the inmates fled, I don't know where.
01:17:38But I shall never forget what they did to my child.
01:17:44Since that Christmas, I have lived in prisons and asylums.
01:17:50I have lived anonymously as an animal.
01:17:56I have wandered in bitterness until all seasons have become as one.
01:18:04And that is a season of vengeance.
01:18:06And that is a season of vengeance.
01:18:08And that is a season of vengeance.
01:18:10And that is a season of vengeance.
01:18:12And that is a season of vengeance.
01:18:38Jeff.
01:18:40Jeff.
01:18:44Jeff.
01:18:46Wilfred Butler is still alive.
01:18:48This is still his house.
01:18:52Your grandfather died in 1950.
01:18:58He was burned to death in this house.
01:19:02My grandfather poured gasoline over a squatter he found here.
01:19:08The town wanted to believe he was dead.
01:19:10The town wanted to believe he was dead.
01:19:12They still do.
01:19:14The town wanted to believe he was dead.
01:19:22This house was an asylum.
01:19:24There was a massacre by the inmates.
01:19:26Tess.
01:19:28Tess.
01:19:29Toman.
01:19:30The sheriff.
01:19:32Your father.
01:19:34No.
01:19:35All inmates.
01:19:36They killed my mother in this room.
01:19:38The sheriff.
01:19:42The sheriff.
01:19:44The sheriff.
01:19:46The sheriff.
01:19:48Let's go.
01:20:08Who's there?
01:20:12Who's there?
01:20:18Who's there?
01:20:20Who's there?
01:20:31Butler.
01:20:34Butler!
01:20:36Butler!
01:20:39Butler!
01:20:41Butler!
01:20:43Was a initiator?
01:20:45A honey goat!
01:20:47A honey goat!
01:20:48Oh, my God, no.
01:20:54Oh, no.
01:20:56No.
01:20:58Oh, my God, no.
01:21:10Daddy.
01:21:12Daddy.
01:21:14Diane.
01:21:18Jeff.
01:21:20Jeff.
01:21:22No.
01:21:24No.
01:21:26Jeff, why?
01:21:28Why?
01:21:30Sorry.
01:21:32Mary Ann.
01:21:34Mary Ann.
01:21:36No!
01:21:38No!
01:21:40Mary Ann!
01:21:42Don't.
01:21:44I'm your father.
01:21:46Don't be afraid.
01:21:48I won't hurt you.
01:21:50Please.
01:21:52It's all right.
01:21:54I would hurt you.
01:21:56I need you.
01:21:58I will see you.
01:22:00I've waited for you.
01:22:02Please.
01:22:04Please.
01:22:06Please.
01:22:08Please.
01:22:30Oh, Mary.
01:22:32Oh, Mary.
01:22:34Oh, Mary.
01:22:36Oh, Mary.
01:22:46I spent that night weeping.
01:22:48By morning, there were no more tears.
01:22:50I know that my father and Jeffrey both thought they were shooting at killers.
01:23:02But they were simply the last victims in that house of victims.
01:23:08And now, a year later, they will tear down Wilfred Butler's monument.
01:23:18But they can never destroy my memories of what happened here.
01:23:24No one from the world.
01:23:28I was from the old prostitute, but it's not possible.
01:23:30Only U.S.
01:23:32And the容易, they destroyed my memories to the victims.
01:23:34No one was a big mess.
01:23:36Again, it was a big mess.
01:23:38Well, you saw them.
01:23:40I'm so sorry.
01:23:41What?
01:23:42You saw them, Avery.
01:23:43No one was a big, but...
01:23:44You saw them, I was a big mess.
01:23:46They were a big mess.
01:23:47But they were not even sure.
01:23:48What did you say?
01:23:49You saw them?
01:23:50Yeah.
01:23:51Well, you saw them.
