00:00:00You're cordially invited to the reading of Eleanor Winter's will. Attendance is
00:00:16required for consideration of inheritance. Frostwood Inn. Why would Eleanor choose me?
00:00:23A free trip to the middle of nowhere. Must be my lucky day.
00:00:31Frostwood Inn invitation? Interesting. Maybe I'll find some inspiration there.
00:00:43Oh, Aunt Eleanor, you never stop chasing ghosts.
00:00:50You're the first to arrive. Come in before the storm swallows you whole. What a charming
00:01:12little icebox.
00:01:20Miss Monroe. Just in time.
00:01:25Of course, she invited the mysterious bookworm.
00:01:29Um, nice to meet you, Miss Nina. Call me Nina.
00:01:34Did I just sign up for Arctic Expedition?
00:01:43I'm Alex. And you must be- Lila. Nice to meet you. I love your podcast, by the way. Thanks.
00:01:52I guess we are all here for the same reason. Unless you're here to critique the architecture.
00:02:01I'm Jules, by the way. I'm Jules, by the way. Nice to meet you all.
00:02:10Welcome to Frostwood Inn. Welcome to Frostwood Inn. The will shall be read tomorrow.
00:02:19Settling upstairs, we have the male and female board. Sweet. I guess I got the whole wing by myself.
00:02:40It's best to stay in your room at night. This inn has quirks.
00:03:01Fantastic. Quirks, my foot.
00:03:24Marc Quirks, my foot.
00:03:54Ms. Grayson?
00:03:57Is that you?
00:04:16Okay, definitely not creepy at all.
00:04:24I'm sorry.
00:04:27I'm sorry.
00:04:31Rooms shift, shadows move.
00:04:33The inn hides its truth behind wheels.
00:04:40This place doesn't feel alive.
00:04:43It feels... watchful.
00:04:47Let's hope that morning brings us the answers.
00:04:54Eleanor Winters leaves Frostwood Inn to the four of you,
00:04:59provided you reside here together for three weeks.
00:05:05Three weeks in this old place with strangers?
00:05:09It's a small price to pay for an inn like this.
00:05:12Right, says the woman who probably brought a Wi-Fi router.
00:05:17And if you live before them, you shall forfeit the inheritance.
00:05:24Three weeks isn't that long.
00:05:29If we can work together, we could change our lives.
00:05:33Change our lives how? Like, what's the catch?
00:05:37The catch is we're here because Eleanor wanted to watch us squirm.
00:05:42I'm sure this is some reality TV show or prank or something.
00:05:46Maybe.
00:05:48Maybe.
00:05:49But why us?
00:05:51It all has to be for a reason.
00:05:54Maybe she wanted us to find... something?
00:06:00The inn has secrets, some of which are better left undisturbed.
00:06:07What was Eleanor hiding?
00:06:26Did you say something?
00:06:28Um, no. No, nothing.
00:06:31Um, let's go downstairs. Eleanor to use the fireplace's warmth.
00:06:36Sure.
00:06:37Coming, Nina?
00:06:39Uh, you guys go ahead. I'll come by later.
00:06:45Okay.
00:06:50Let's vault this place up.
00:06:58You don't just leave it into a stranger's.
00:07:05Unless there's something you want them to find.
00:07:20What do we have here?
00:07:28The veil binds us all.
00:07:31Time twists and the voices echo.
00:07:34Where the light cannot reach.
00:07:36This is Eleanor's.
00:07:39It has to be.
00:07:41But what does any of it mean?
00:07:58We don't need to like each other.
00:08:04We just need to survive for three weeks.
00:08:06Survive?
00:08:07What do you mean survive?
00:08:09Make it sound like we're in danger.
00:08:11She's not wrong.
00:08:13There is something off about this place.
00:08:15The way the air feels.
00:08:17Don't pretend like you haven't noticed.
00:08:20People did disappear here sometimes in the past.
00:08:24Come on, Alex.
00:08:25Don't let the atmosphere get to you.
00:08:28Oh, maybe.
00:08:29Or maybe we should be paying attention to the things that feels weird before it's too late.
00:08:36Danger doesn't always come from outside, Miss Winters.
00:08:44Are you saying the danger's inside?
00:08:47What kind of games are you playing here, Mrs. Grayson?
00:08:50Games have rules, Miss Carter.
00:08:53This house does not.
00:09:04The walls speak if you listen.
00:09:06Truth lies in silence.
00:09:13Let's face it.
00:09:14Eleanor chose us for a reason.
00:09:17What's everyone hiding?
00:09:19Why does it matter?
00:09:20She's dead and we're stuck here.
00:09:22I just want my share in to leave.
00:09:24Well, actually, I found something.
00:09:27And there is written something about listening to the walls.
00:09:31So maybe we can see if there is something more that we can realize.
00:09:36You think she left clues for us?
00:09:39Why?
00:09:44The inn doesn't take kindly to curiosity.
00:09:48Remember, it killed the cat.
00:09:51It isn't a cat.
00:09:58This is anód.
00:10:01It's a cat.
00:10:02It's a cat.
00:10:03It might be Eine der Station kind.
00:10:04The cat cat scans me does not today.
00:10:05It might be weird, but it looks like, the man waiting for us.
00:10:06And we are still någonnem switching too.
00:10:07To be with invit ring.
00:10:08The cat says he knows, the cat saying about the cat.
00:10:09The cat was a cat called in.
00:10:10The cat is anいきます.
00:10:11The cat recognizing the cat is def있는.
00:11:12Lovely, isn't it?
00:11:24You shouldn't be here.
00:11:27I just got lost exploring the place.
00:11:40Jules, you seem jittery.
00:11:43Have you found anything interesting?
00:11:46Jittery?
00:11:47Me?
00:11:48No.
00:11:49You must be mistaken.
00:11:51I'm just adjusting to the cult, I guess.
00:11:55Or maybe it's Eleanor's idea of crazy social experiments.
00:12:00Or maybe she just wanted us to drive each other crazy.
00:12:07What?
00:12:16I'm not worried.
00:12:19What?
00:12:21Yeah.
00:12:22Where is that room?
00:12:44I'm sure it was that way.
00:12:52Do you hear sounds at night, like whispers?
00:13:01Maybe.
00:13:02Why?
00:13:03Because I think the inn is trying to tell us something.
00:13:12Some whispers are best ignored.
00:13:15They are but figments of your imagination.
00:13:22I'm starting to not like her.
00:13:26You and me, both.
00:13:38I'm sure I wasn't dreaming.
00:13:40I trotted the whole place and I still can't find the painting.
00:13:45Good afternoon.
00:13:47Can I help you with something?
00:13:50I'm looking for a room with a painting, a large painting.
00:13:54I tried looking for it but I can't seem to find it.
00:13:59This inn tends to shift about.
00:14:03It only lets you see what it wants you to see.
00:14:07What do you mean?
00:14:08It...
00:14:09It switches space?
00:14:11Maybe.
00:14:12Oh!
00:14:13Here comes the loner.
00:14:13Haven't seen you all day.
00:14:14What have you been up to?
00:14:15You look worn out.
00:14:16You sleep much?
00:14:17I...
00:14:18It...
00:14:19It...
00:14:20It must be the weather.
00:14:47Things inside in in the morning, a ghost house.
00:14:51You...
00:14:52Where are you?
00:14:54What are your words for this week?
00:14:55Another one has to do it.
00:14:57Does anyone have to say goodbye?
00:14:59Your cuentomics...
00:15:02Who's there?
00:15:04Was this place always like this?
00:15:06Strange.
00:16:11I couldn't sleep much last night.
00:16:15Yeah, me neither.
00:16:17I don't know how you feel, but this place, it gives me creeps.
00:16:23If I could, I would have left long ago.
00:16:26Say no more.
00:16:27I have the same feeling.
00:16:28This house is so strange.
00:16:30It's giving me creeps.
00:16:32And actually, Eleanor was too much loony towards the end.
00:16:38Check this out.
00:16:41Can you keep secrets?
00:16:47Hmm.
00:16:48So last night, I stumbled upon this random room.
00:16:53It was like much bigger than my room.
00:16:54But in the room, there was a huge prostitute of Eleanor.
00:16:58And in that room, there was a huge trunk.
00:17:05And I think maybe there's some of Eleanor's stuff inside.
00:17:10Do you want to check it out with me?
00:17:11Sorry to disturb you, lovebirds.
00:17:20What's for breakfast?
00:17:23Damn the storm.
00:17:24Killing all the lights just like that.
00:17:26I wonder how long this blackout will last.
00:17:30What's wrong?
00:17:31Have you noticed anything strange about this inn?
00:17:36I mean, besides all the usual creepy things that are happening.
00:17:41Um, you'll have to be a bit more specific.
00:17:44This place is practically a shrine to strange.
00:17:47Eleanor's room.
00:17:50I think it's moving.
00:17:53Eleanor's room?
00:17:54This inn doesn't have a master's bedroom?
00:17:57I used to come up here for holidays, and I've never heard of a master's bedroom.
00:18:00It does.
00:18:01I found it earlier, and when I went back, it was gone.
00:18:06Like, completely.
00:18:08The house, the room, doesn't want to be found.
00:18:13It moves?
00:18:14Like, shifts around the house?
00:18:17That's ridiculous.
00:18:18Where exactly did you find this room?
00:18:20Down the halfway, at the end.
00:18:24This inn always had a left and right wings upstairs, but there is no middle wing.
00:18:31What, may I?
00:18:36Rooms that don't stay in place.
00:18:39Scary sounds that echo the spaces.
00:18:41The house rearranges itself to guard its secrets.
00:18:45Exactly.
00:18:47Eleanor's bedroom isn't just a bedroom.
00:18:50It's hiding something.
00:18:53And I'm sure it's tied up to the heart of all those creepy things that are happening.
00:19:01I found this there.
00:19:11Let's see what else we can find.
00:19:17Are you ready?
00:19:17Yes.
00:19:20Where's the room?
00:19:22It's there, around the hallway.
00:19:24Something about it feels off.
00:19:27Off?
00:19:28Like, hunt it off?
00:19:30Or, we're losing it off?
00:19:33I don't know.
00:19:37Come on.
00:19:38Well, great.
00:19:45Let's poke around in some creepy room with the ominous trunk.
00:19:50That's such a good idea.
00:19:52If there's anything, any answer, that's what's happening in here.
00:19:57It has to be in that room.
00:19:59Are you in?
00:19:59I'm in.
00:20:02Let's go before I change my mind.
00:20:10There it is.
00:20:12Okay.
00:20:15After you, brave explorer.
00:20:17This portrait is really creepy, right?
00:20:44Why does it feel she's watching us?
00:20:49Maybe she is.
00:20:54Do you feel that?
00:20:56The temperature drop?
00:20:58Yeah.
00:21:00Something's wrong.
00:21:02Tell me that's not moving.
00:21:06It wasn't like that before.
00:21:08Should we try opening it?
00:21:10Okay.
00:21:14We've come this far.
00:21:16Okay.
00:21:33Alex, it's not!
00:21:35It's not safe here!
00:21:36Go!
00:21:36Okay.
00:21:44Next time, remind me not to volunteer for creepy room day.
00:21:48That trunk.
00:21:50It's hiding something.
00:21:51We're going to have to go back there.
00:21:58The space shifts.
00:22:00What was a hallway is now a staircase.
00:22:01What was my room yesterday is a parlor today.
00:22:05But the whispers lead the way.
00:22:10This has to be it.
00:22:11Add a nurse's room.
00:22:14If the space shifts,
00:22:16maybe we can predict where it goes next.
00:22:18But how do we track something that doesn't stay still?
00:22:21The entry says follow the whispers.
00:22:24Maybe that's the clue.
00:22:25Okay.
00:22:31There should be somewhere around here.
00:22:36Maybe in-
00:22:37Wait, do you hear that?
00:22:39The whispers, just like the guestbook side.
00:22:42Jules?
00:22:42Nina?
00:22:43What are you doing here?
00:22:45What are you doing here?
00:22:50Well, I guess we're all in this together now.
00:23:01I guess we're all in this together.
00:23:31The whispers, they were louder this time.
00:23:37Like they wanted us to hear them.
00:23:39The cycle must end.
00:23:41What does that even mean?
00:23:42And why do we keep hearing it?
00:23:45Everything is tied up to the trunk.
00:23:47The box, the diary.
00:23:49Everything is Eleanor's room.
00:23:51So the answers must be there.
00:23:53We just need to figure out how to open this box.
00:23:56And risk waking up whatever that's inside this box?
00:23:59We're already knowing too much.
00:24:00The house doesn't want us to know this much.
00:24:03Look at the symbols.
00:24:05They match the diagrams from the dialogue.
00:24:08This box needs a key to open.
00:24:11A key?
00:24:12Jules, the key.
00:24:13The key you found earlier.
00:24:30This is odd.
00:24:35What's...
00:24:36Look at these photographs.
00:24:45There must be a mistake.
00:24:47No.
00:24:48It's authentic, alright.
00:24:50Guys, you're not going to believe this.
00:24:54Authorities are baffled as four individuals mysteriously disappeared from Frostwood Inn.
00:25:02Curses were last seen entering the primes.
00:25:05But no signs of struggle or departure has been found.
00:25:10Local whispers of the Inn's dark reputation.
00:25:12Fueling fears of an unexplainable curse.
00:25:15This was from 50 years ago.
00:25:17This was from 50 years ago.
00:25:18Well, I'll be damned.
00:25:20The date matches the disappearance, but that doesn't explain anything.
00:25:24Do you think that's why Elinor brought us here together?
00:25:30We're barely getting the surface crash, and I'm supposed to believe there's some grand mystery here?
00:25:35There is a mystery, Nina.
00:25:37Elinor didn't just pick up us by accident.
00:25:40The picture says it all.
00:25:42I mean, we're not just some random strangers.
00:25:45It proves...
00:25:45It proves nothing.
00:25:4750 years ago, I wasn't even born.
00:25:49And somehow, I ended up in a photograph with my aunt?
00:25:52We can't deny the photograph, Nina.
00:25:54We're all so confused.
00:25:56But I agree with Laila.
00:25:58We are not chosen at random.
00:26:01We all have our own role to play.
00:26:04And it's our duty to find out which ones.
00:26:08Time is in the straight line we thought it was.
00:26:11I mean, Elinor somehow chose us to be here at this moment.
00:26:17Elinor never said she knew us before we were born.
00:26:21This is all confusing.
00:26:22But at least we found something.
00:26:25Why don't we just start here?
00:26:32My, my.
00:26:34The past doesn't like to be disturbed.
00:26:37Enough with this cryptic nonsense.
00:26:39What does this mean?
00:26:40It means you've walked into a time trap.
00:26:44Guys, this is incredible.
00:26:47They're not just journal entries.
00:26:48They're more like research.
00:26:52Like she was piecing the secrets of the house together.
00:26:56Can anyone make sense of this?
00:26:58I'm hitting the wall with these symbols and diagrams.
00:27:01They're not exactly my fork.
00:27:03The symbols.
00:27:08They're references to alchemy and ancient sealing rituals.
00:27:14And look here.
00:27:15This diagram matches the layout of the inn.
00:27:17Why did she write all of this and leave it behind?
00:27:21Maybe she wanted somebody to find this.
00:27:24Somebody who could end what she started.
00:27:27The veil must hold or the shadows will consume.
00:27:32The heart of the house is key, found by time and intent.
00:27:37The heart of the house.
00:27:39She means the source of all of this.
00:27:42The thing we need to destroy.
00:27:44The symbol is repeated everywhere.
00:27:47It has to mean something.
00:27:49Maybe it's the anchor of the veil.
00:27:51This man?
00:27:57He's in the locket we found earlier.
00:28:00Who is he?
00:28:01The man Eleanor feared, I think.
00:28:04Or the man who betrayed her.
00:28:06A betrayal?
00:28:07But for me, Eleanor didn't seem someone who would trust anyone that much.
00:28:12What if she did trust him?
00:28:15Maybe that's why we're here.
00:28:18Wait.
00:28:21He will come back for what I took.
00:28:24His revenge is inevitable.
00:28:27He was terrified.
00:28:29We're not just dealing with an inheritance.
00:28:32This is personal.
00:28:35This man.
00:28:36He's why we're here.
00:28:38Eleanor thought someone would return.
00:28:40The journal?
00:28:41It mentioned betrayal.
00:28:44What if the man is still watching us?
00:28:47What's that?
00:28:48I swear, if this turns into a ghost story, I'm not staying here.
00:28:53I don't think it's a ghost.
00:28:55You've already awakened what was meant to stay buried.
00:29:18These letters, they are signed by Jay.
00:29:26The man in the photo.
00:29:28These letters, of Jay's.
00:29:31He wasn't just angry.
00:29:34He was planning something.
00:29:35Why would she keep these hidden?
00:29:38Was she scared he'd come back?
00:29:40Maybe she was.
00:29:42The man?
00:29:43Jay?
00:29:44Maybe he's the one who is watching us.
00:29:49These are not just random thoughts written in the journal.
00:29:52It's warnings.
00:29:54Warnings for what?
00:29:56The journal mentioned betrayal.
00:29:58She warned about the inn itself.
00:30:01About someone returning to take something she had taken.
00:30:04A betrayal.
00:30:05Maybe he's the one who betrayed her.
00:30:10Listen to this one.
00:30:13The light will reveal the truth, but whispers in the dark will always remain.
00:30:18What was that?
00:30:23Okay.
00:30:24Can we for one moment not die of a heart attack while we're trying to solve this?
00:30:27You've found the truth, but now you've crossed the line.
00:30:34The past won't forgive.
00:30:42Why are we here?
00:30:43It doesn't feel random.
00:30:45Maybe it were the loose ends that Eleanor wanted to tie up.
00:30:49Or whoever that Jay guy is.
00:30:51This is just like Eleanor.
00:30:53She likes toying with people.
00:30:55This could be nothing.
00:30:56What if it's not?
00:30:58What if she was trying to protect us?
00:31:03Perhaps Eleanor was trying to protect herself.
00:31:07But you've already disturbed that which should remain undisturbed.
00:31:12What does that mean?
00:31:14It means you've brought the past closer than you think.
00:31:18He watches from the whale.
00:31:20The one who betrayed me seeks to undo what I've built.
00:31:24Who's he?
00:31:26What's his name?
00:31:27It cannot be just Jay.
00:31:30Eleanor wouldn't leave these hints to us if it was that simple.
00:31:34She probably wants us to find him.
00:31:36Or what he has left for us.
00:31:39And we're all just blindly playing along?
00:31:42For all we know, this Jay could still be around.
00:31:45Then why all these warnings?
00:31:47She must have been terrified.
00:31:54If Eleanor wants us to find something, it's not just her words.
00:31:59It's somewhere over here.
00:32:00Is it just me or did Eleanor keep all her life hidden in puzzles?
00:32:07That's probably cheaper than a therapy.
00:32:10What was their connection?
00:32:14He was her greatest love.
00:32:17And her greatest disappointment.
00:32:20Oh, so you knew him.
00:32:22Then why don't you try to mention it even once?
00:32:25Some stories are better left untold.
00:32:30But Eleanor didn't leave you that choice, did she?
00:32:36I gave him my trust, my heart, and he took everything.
00:32:41But I will ensure he never gets what he truly wants.
00:32:44What did he want?
00:32:45The end?
00:32:47Her fortune?
00:32:48Or her silence.
00:32:50Open it already.
00:32:51Wait.
00:32:52What if it's another warning?
00:32:54Eleanor didn't just give us these clues for fun, right?
00:32:58Well, we've already ignored the other ones.
00:33:01Let's see how bad this can get.
00:33:09To the one I wrong, I knew my betrayal would lead us both here.
00:33:15The truth lies where the heart was broken.
00:33:18That's it?
00:33:19Another cryptic line?
00:33:21Typical Eleanor.
00:33:22That's not just it.
00:33:24She's committing guilt.
00:33:29Where the heart remembers?
00:33:31It's a clue.
00:33:33Another scavenger game?
00:33:36Great.
00:33:36So what?
00:33:40She cheated someone out of money?
00:33:41Broke their heart?
00:33:42Why drag us into it?
00:33:44Because we're connected.
00:33:44Because we're connected.
00:33:46She said the truth lies where the heart was broken.
00:33:49It should mean something.
00:33:50Yeah.
00:33:51Let's all take turns and we guess who's next to get haunted.
00:33:58You found what Eleanor feared most.
00:34:02Be careful where the heart was broken.
00:34:03Be careful where you look next.
00:34:05Why?
00:34:06What's left to find?
00:34:07The truth.
00:34:09And the one she betrayed.
00:34:12The truth lies beneath the veil of memory.
00:34:18Who's there?
00:34:18Who's there?
00:34:32What was that?
00:34:35What was that?
00:34:48To understand the past, you must face the future.
00:34:51Look to where memory fades, and you will see what...
00:34:56Where memory fades...
00:35:00Oh!
00:35:01Alex, what's wrong?
00:35:03You look like you've seen a ghost.
00:35:05Not a ghost.
00:35:07Just a message.
00:35:16This is more than just Eleanor's riddles.
00:35:18Where memories fade?
00:35:21This could be obvious.
00:35:22We're looking for something hidden.
00:35:24I know, but where?
00:35:32This?
00:35:33They're from Eleanor's younger age.
00:35:35But there is something off about these pictures.
00:35:39That's odd.
00:35:40Why is the guy's face hidden?
00:35:42There is more.
00:35:43So, it's addressed to Eleanor, but it's signed Jay.
00:35:48I promised I'd return for what you stole from me.
00:35:51You can run, but you can't hide.
00:35:53The truth will find you.
00:35:55Jay.
00:35:56Jay.
00:35:59So, Jay is the one Eleanor betrayed.
00:36:02But then why is he threatening us now?
00:36:05You found the door to the past, but should it be unlocked?
00:36:17Some doors are better left closed.
00:36:20You have been saying cryptic shit all this time.
00:36:23What do you know, Mrs. Grayson?
00:36:25The truth is more dangerous than you think.
00:36:29You better be careful what you awaken.
00:36:35This feels wrong.
00:36:44Guys, I've seen this symbol in her diaries.
00:36:50And it's warning.
00:36:52It means we need to leave.
00:36:57We're not leaving.
00:36:59Not until we find what we want.
00:37:01Someone's coming.
00:37:02Quickly, hide!
00:37:04What's this?
00:37:23Why were you hidden here?
00:37:29Okay.
00:37:30Definitely not creepy at all.
00:37:48Shh, stay quiet.
00:37:51Whoever it is, we don't want them to know we're here.
00:37:59You're not ready for this, none of you are, too long I have waited for this, what was
00:38:29that, what does she know, it seemed like she was talking to someone but there was nobody
00:38:36before we entered the room, she's definitely hiding something, I don't know what, but it's
00:38:43more than just a housekeeper's secrets, any of you feel like you're being watched, let's
00:38:48get back to her rooms, we'll discuss this in the morning, remember to lock your rooms,
00:38:55that was really dangerous feelings though huh, oh Jules,
00:38:59how good of you to join us, where were you last night, why, okay enough, we've been here
00:39:06long enough, we're all on edge Nina, this place is trying to divide us, how about we just get
00:39:13back on track and we can figure out what's in that drawer, here, I found this in the female
00:39:22boarding room, thought it might help us to unlock something we're missing, I guess we'll
00:39:31find out soon enough, wait, what if Eleanor didn't want us to find out?
00:39:52the truth will be your undoing, the past cannot be erased, nor can it be undone, beware the
00:40:05one who waits, who's the one who waits, who's the one who waits, you shouldn't have done
00:40:12this, ha, we should have done this, ha?
00:40:19ah aah ah aah aah aah!
00:40:21He's the one who waits.
00:40:26We shouldn't have done this.
00:40:38We're going to uncover everything.
00:40:41After this, there is no turning back.
00:40:44What are these cheap batteries?
00:40:47What is this? Why is it so cold?
00:40:50Something is wrong. We shouldn't be here.
00:40:53Shut up. With you, nothing is ever right.
00:40:55The sooner we'll do this mystery, the better.
00:40:57Guys, this must be Eleanor's private journal.
00:41:01Look at those notes.
00:41:03Look! It's another one of hers. Eleanor's handwriting.
00:41:08I knew the veil would break one day.
00:41:10He waits for what I took.
00:41:12And he won't stop until it's his again.
00:41:15Who is he? And what's the veil?
00:41:18Fantastic. So we've hit the ghost jackpot now?
00:41:24Some truths are better left buried.
00:41:27Heavens! Would it kill you to announce yourself once in a while?
00:41:30Why should it be hidden? What was Eleanor so scared of?
00:41:34You are not ready for the truth.
00:41:44Great. More puzzles. Does Eleanor think we're detectives or something?
00:41:49Well, she did invite us here to clean up her mess.
00:41:52To those who follow, beware what you're uncovered.
00:41:56The past holds more than memories. It holds him.
00:42:01It's Eleanor. And him again.
00:42:07This guy. Jay. Whoever he is, he must be the key to all of this.
00:42:13Who is he? And why did Eleanor keep this hidden?
00:42:22Because she knew what he was capable of. She knew he would not stop.
00:42:26Why not tell us? Why leave us all the breadcrumbs?
00:42:30Because she knew you were the only ones who could stop him.
00:42:34You know what? It's late, and I'm tired. I'm fucking tired!
00:42:41I don't know about you guys, but I'm gonna go back and take a warm bath to wash out all the soreness and the dust.
00:42:48Goodnight.
00:42:51Um, excuse me. Uh, goodnight.
00:42:55The veil isn't just a metaphor. It's the barrier that keeps him out.
00:43:14Help!
00:43:16Who's there?
00:43:17What happened? Are you okay?
00:43:30It-it talked to me. It said we've gone too far.
00:43:40He lives between what was and what is. The veil is his prison, but he's breaking free.
00:43:47What is it even supposed to mean?
00:43:50It means he's waking up. Eleanor used to keep him locked away.
00:43:56But you're breaking down these walls.
00:43:59Who? Who is trying down the walls?
00:44:06Mrs. Grayson, I think you owe us answers at this point.
00:44:11What do you wish to know?
00:44:13If this guy is real, why hasn't he shown himself?
00:44:15He doesn't exist in this plane.
00:44:21But I assure you, he's as real as you and me.
00:44:25Uh, you mentioned someone is waking him up? Who and how?
00:44:30The four of you are waking him up.
00:44:34He feeds on fear.
00:44:36The more you dig, the more strong he becomes.
00:44:45Then why leave us all these clues?
00:44:47Why lead us to him?
00:44:50Eleanor didn't want you to free him.
00:44:54She wanted you to stop him.
00:44:57Great.
00:44:59No pressure.
00:45:06He also asked for a message.
00:45:07The more you do, he will send you to open them up.
00:45:10No pressure.
00:45:11They're too bad.
00:45:12He's going to be a place.
00:45:13All you need to be open, they need to be open.
00:45:15He's in trouble.
00:45:16He's going to be open and open.
00:45:17He changes everything for you and your own.
00:45:19He's going to be open to you.
00:45:21Your body is open to you.
00:45:22All you need to get open, you know.
00:45:23Let's check the showers and you will stay open up.
00:45:25There's nothing concrete there.
00:45:26It's all cryptic warnings.
00:45:28Or maybe that's all Eleanor had!
00:45:29Warnings!
00:45:30Warnings.
00:45:31Here it is.
00:45:33This is the heart of the house.
00:45:37This is where we can find him.
00:45:39Or stop him.
00:45:44Okay, this is insane.
00:45:49We're walking straight into his trap.
00:45:52Do you have a better idea?
00:45:54Because reading these letters or the notes is not great either.
00:45:59If Eleanor marked this as the heart, it means she meant for us to go.
00:46:04Or where she was trying to warn us not to go.
00:46:08Can we stop it with the dramatics already?
00:46:15You found it.
00:46:17Eleanor's final clue.
00:46:20You mean the creepy heart room?
00:46:22Care to explain what's waiting for us there?
00:46:25This house was built around it.
00:46:27It's where he resides.
00:46:31Eleanor trapped him there.
00:46:33But the veil is breaking.
00:46:36Wonderful.
00:46:37So, yeah.
00:46:38We're just gonna walk in and fix our mistakes, right?
00:46:42Eleanor chose you for a reason.
00:46:44You're all connected to him somehow.
00:46:47How are we connected?
00:46:50Think of how you know Eleanor.
00:46:54And then you'll be able to figure out what he wants and why he's interested in the four
00:47:00of you.
00:47:13You seem drawn to this one.
00:47:15It's called transition.
00:47:17It's more than a painting.
00:47:19It's the story.
00:47:23An incomplete one.
00:47:25You think so?
00:47:27Most people just see shadows.
00:47:30Most people are not paying attention.
00:47:33But you are.
00:47:35That's what makes your work so different.
00:47:38Do I know you?
00:47:40You seem familiar.
00:47:43Perhaps.
00:47:44In another time.
00:47:47Well, congratulations on your opening.
00:47:51I'll keep an eye on your work.
00:48:03Art doesn't just reflect the soul.
00:48:06It reveals the unseen.
00:48:09Your studio deserves to stand the test of time.
00:48:12Consider this my contribution.
00:48:15So, Mrs. Jules, your studio has gotten a lot of attention since its opening.
00:48:24Tell me, what inspired this exhibit?
00:48:28Honestly, I don't think I fully understand it myself.
00:48:33These pieces, they just come to me.
00:48:36Like, they are meant to be created.
00:48:39Rumor has it that this was impossible without an anonymous contributor.
00:48:45Any idea of who they are?
00:48:47Fits me.
00:48:48Whoever they are, they believed in myself more than I believed in myself.
00:48:54I wonder if they see the same story in the shadows.
00:48:57Sorry, what was that?
00:48:59No, nothing.
00:49:00I was just thinking out loud.
00:49:08Who are you really, Elioner?
00:49:15That's a charming place.
00:49:22It has an air of curiosity about it.
00:49:25That's what I aim for.
00:49:26Welcome to the Curious Bookworm.
00:49:28Can I help you find anything?
00:49:30Well, I'm actually here to help you.
00:49:33I hear you are quite an investigator of various strange phenomena.
00:49:39What is this?
00:49:41That's a family estate.
00:49:43Has a reputation about it.
00:49:46I think you'll find it interesting.
00:49:48That's incredible, but...
00:49:51And I leave you for a few minutes and you wander off like that.
00:49:55Sorry to bother you.
00:49:56We're leaving.
00:49:58I trust you'll make a good use of it.
00:50:00Just be careful and where your curiosity leaves you.
00:50:07Today, we're diving into the enigmatic history of Frostbuddin,
00:50:12known for its hunting atmosphere and unexplained events.
00:50:16This estate has been the subject for local legends for decades.
00:50:25Hey, do you have a minute?
00:50:27Sure, what's in your mind?
00:50:29I wanted to apologize to you for the other day.
00:50:31My aunt can be not so okay, so to speak.
00:50:35She may have spoken things to seem odd to you,
00:50:37but she's not a bad person, she's just...
00:50:39You don't believe in her, don't you?
00:50:42I don't.
00:50:43But Frostbuddin has had strange happenings.
00:50:47But they can all be explained rationally, that's all.
00:50:59You've been running your whole life, Ninam.
00:51:09You can't just keep running.
00:51:12I'm not running.
00:51:14I'm just not interested in chasing shadows.
00:51:17These are not shadows.
00:51:19This is our family legacy.
00:51:21An old, creepy inn?
00:51:25Sounds more like a burden, not a legacy.
00:51:28You have no idea what Frostwood Inn is holding.
00:51:34This is not just an inn.
00:51:36This is about who we are, and one day you will understand.
00:51:41If it's so important to you, why don't you deal with it yourself?
00:51:44Why drag me into it?
00:51:45Because I won't always be here.
00:51:49What do you want me to do?
00:51:51For now, just listen.
00:51:52And when the time comes, you will know what to do.
00:51:58You should know better than to wander off, Ant.
00:52:01The library had nothing much about Frostwood Inn.
00:52:03Well, sometimes you need to go elsewhere to find out the truth.
00:52:07You know, you have to be more curious.
00:52:09Because that's how we find out who we are.
00:52:12Or how we waste time chasing ghosts.
00:52:21Legends of Frostwood Inn speak of a mysterious veil that protects its secrets,
00:52:26but also binds those who inherit its legacy.
00:52:29Is it a place of power, or a curse waiting to claim its next victim?
00:52:41Hey, I've been listening to your podcast.
00:52:43Wow, I'm flattered.
00:52:45Don't tell me I've converted you into a believer.
00:52:47Honestly, I thought it was just stories, but I'm not so sure.
00:52:54My aunt, Eleanor, she's obsessed with Frostwood Inn.
00:52:57Yeah, Eleanor mentioned you.
00:52:59She thinks that you might be a part of something bigger.
00:53:03She's good at being cryptic.
00:53:05Do you think there's anything real behind all this?
00:53:07I think it's worth looking to it.
00:53:10I mean, if she's right, you might be a key to understanding it.
00:53:14I'm not so sure I want to understand this.
00:53:27The Frostwood Inn is more than just an old building.
00:53:39It's a mystery, woven into the fabric of our town.
00:53:43A place where stories seem to go to hide, and people sometimes vanish altogether.
00:53:50Some call it cursed, others a masterpiece of misfortune.
00:53:54But the question remains, what is Frostwood really hiding?
00:54:09Yeah?
00:54:10What the hell is this, Alex?
00:54:12I told you to stick to the mayoral campaign.
00:54:15This is bigger than politics, Marcus.
00:54:18Four people disappeared near that inn 50 years ago.
00:54:21There was not a trace, and nobody was connecting the dots.
00:54:24Until now.
00:54:25There are no dots to connect.
00:54:27You are pushing a ghost story.
00:54:29We are not running this.
00:54:30The public deserves to know the truth!
00:54:39The truth about Frostwood may never fully be uncovered,
00:54:42but for those brave or foolish, enough to try, it's a path you can walk back from.
00:54:50Looks like I'm going back to the story.
00:54:54Jay, where are you, Mr. Jay?
00:55:01The faint whisper of Jay, the one who holds the key to all of this.
00:55:06I fear I have failed him, but he will come when it is time.
00:55:11I only hope it is not too late.
00:55:14Wait.
00:55:16She said that he would come whenever is the time.
00:55:19What if he's not just someone from her past?
00:55:22What if he's been here all along?
00:55:25Or what if he's the one that we have been interacting whole time, but we didn't even realize?
00:55:35I see you're trying to find the identity of Jay.
00:55:42Why don't you tell us more about him?
00:55:44Was he an enemy of a friend?
00:55:46Eleanor trusted Jay, because she knew him better than anyone else.
00:55:51But he was also the reason why she was trapped here.
00:55:54Why? What's his connection to all of this?
00:55:58Jay wasn't a stranger.
00:55:59He was, or is, one of you.
00:56:05What do you mean one of us?
00:56:07Us.
00:56:09He vanished.
00:56:10Or rather, part of him vanished 50 years ago.
00:56:16One of us? So he's been here all along?
00:56:20Jay was your connection to the Vale, but he became part of the Shadow.
00:56:26He was trapped in the Earthreal plane with Eleanor.
00:56:32His identity was lost, his memory wiped, until all of you returned.
00:56:37So, Jay has been here all the time?
00:56:44Yes. Jay is the missing piece, the key to the cycle.
00:56:50He was tied to the Vale, just like you all were.
00:56:57He wasn't fortunate enough to come out whole, like you back then.
00:57:04Whole? What do you mean, whole?
00:57:11Jay was none other than James, your brother, Nina.
00:57:19James? My brother?
00:57:21But, but he's been in a wheelchair for as long as I can remember.
00:57:24The last time you were together, he got lost in the Vale and he sacrificed part of himself so that you could all get out.
00:57:36Eleanor went back to try to get the piece that he had left behind so that he could be whole again.
00:57:44But she discovered the shadow merged with him.
00:57:50In essence, he became that which you were trying to escape.
00:57:55This map was Eleanor's last attempt to escape the Vale.
00:58:05She believes the in-spaces shift, mirroring their counterparts in the Vale.
00:58:11Therefore, for instance, becomes a heart.
00:58:16How about other rooms? Like boarding rooms?
00:58:23They become manifestations of the Vale's power. Each one feeding evil.
00:58:29So, how do we get in? Are we supposed to just walk into some other dimension?
00:58:35This will help you cross over.
00:58:37This is how Eleanor went in and how you will follow her.
00:58:41So, what if we can't come back?
00:58:45Then the Vale will claim you.
00:58:47Then let's do this. We've come too far to back out now.
00:58:55Worlds align and worlds collide. Worlds arrive and worlds collide. Let them all come inside!
00:59:03This... This doesn't feel right. It's too late to back out now.
00:59:20Step through. Together.
00:59:33Don't let us get lost. You are stronger than the evil! Trust each other!
00:59:51This... This is the Vale?
00:59:55It looks... Warped.
00:59:57It's not just warped. It's... Wrong. Look at the walls. They're breathing.
01:00:05Look at this place. It sticks together. We don't know what's real here.
01:00:11You've come back. The cycle begins.
01:00:13You are left.
01:00:14You are left.
01:00:15This place. It's alive.
01:00:17I'm alive and watching this.
01:00:20Socks.
01:00:21Careful. Please don't go anywhere and don't go separated.
01:00:25Because if this place shifts, we can lose each other.
01:00:29Right. We stick together. No matter what.
01:00:50It's a marking. Eleanor must have left it behind.
01:00:53What does it mean? Is it part of the map?
01:00:56It's like a sigil. She'd probably try to contain something here or come back here.
01:01:05Or maybe it's protecting us.
01:01:07Or maybe it's protecting something else. Could you please see if there is anything under it?
01:01:14Oh wait. Wait. What is that?
01:01:19It's like a compass.
01:01:22It's pointing somewhere.
01:01:23Looks like that's where we're going to.
01:01:26Oh wait. What if it's leading us into a trap?
01:01:29It doesn't matter. If we want to find Eleanor, we're gonna take the risk.
01:01:34Let's go before this place starts changing.
01:01:44This place feels worse than the foyer, like it's breathing.
01:01:55The compass brought us here, so there has to be something we can find.
01:02:00This markings, it's similar to those in Eleanor's diary.
01:02:04In her journal, she said, the veil imprints itself on the space it consumes.
01:02:08Great. So are we walking in that whale's stomach?
01:02:15Stay close. Don't let the voice mess your mind.
01:02:18The compass. The compass. It's pointing there.
01:02:21It means that evil doesn't want us near it.
01:02:24To hell with that. Let's find out what's inside.
01:02:28Flashlights! Use your lights. It keeps the darkness away.
01:02:33Got it!
01:02:34Let's see what we're supposed to find in this room.
01:02:58Whatever we need must be in that wall.
01:03:01Do you really think with it moving like this, we'll just easily give up?
01:03:07Wait. There is something written about this wall in this diary.
01:03:14Speak softly your desires and tap twice to reveal that which is hidden.
01:03:21Right. As if that'll work.
01:03:24You can go far without some fight, little bird.
01:03:27James?
01:03:30I am. But I am not. Yes. Yes. That was what they used to call me.
01:03:38Oh god! James! Is that you?
01:03:42I am here, there, everywhere. But it's not important. You have to end and free us.
01:03:48Go on. I will hold them for a long weekend.
01:03:58Quickly! We're here!
01:04:00I am here, there, everywhere.
01:04:11So, we have the fragments now. What now? How do we use this to end the veil?
01:04:17Well, Eleanor said that fragments must be combined at the heart of the veil.
01:04:23That's this room, but it requires... What? It requires what?
01:04:27It requires a strong bond, strong connection between the people who are involved.
01:04:33Because the veil fits on division and fear, so we have to connect, like we have to have connection,
01:04:39we have to have trust and focus. Great. Trust and focus. No pressure.
01:04:49Can't do battle on an empty stomach and no rest.
01:04:52Well, amen to that.
01:04:55Fighting and running away from the devils is surely a hungry war.
01:04:59Jules, what are you thinking?
01:05:02Um, you said Jay James, he lost a part of himself in the veil and then Eleanor went there by herself
01:05:12to claim it back and got stuck there?
01:05:15Jules, what are you getting at?
01:05:18Perhaps there is a way how we can save them both.
01:05:21There was just one room that wasn't available and yet it got shifted back to our reality.
01:05:28Eleanor's room.
01:05:31Yes, and what about it?
01:05:33Let's go back to the veil.
01:05:35I think I know where we can find Eleanor and we can save your brother.
01:05:39First, you all have to take some rest and freshen up.
01:05:44The rescue can wait. They are not going anywhere.
01:05:49James is tied to the veil.
01:05:52His body remains here, but part of him has merged with evil.
01:05:59If you want to bring him back, you'll have to sever that connection.
01:06:02Which means going back.
01:06:04How do you even find him in that place?
01:06:06The veil shifts, but its heart remains constant.
01:06:13You'll find James there.
01:06:17This will guide you to him, but be warned.
01:06:22The veil will fight harder this time because it knows you're coming to undo its grip.
01:06:28I'm not afraid. I'm getting my brother back.
01:06:33Together.
01:06:36Eleanor wrote about James.
01:06:41She said part of him was left behind when the evil first took him.
01:06:45His memories, his essence, it's still there.
01:06:49If he's connected to the veil, then shouldn't destroying it free him?
01:06:56Not if the evil bound him willingly. His essence feeds it.
01:07:01That's why he's the key to breaking the cycle.
01:07:05Then we find him. If there's a way to bring him back, we'll figure it out.
01:07:10James is waiting, but so am I.
01:07:19This place is worse than I remember.
01:07:25It's like it's waiting for us.
01:07:29Or for Nina.
01:07:31James is here. I can feel it.
01:07:35Nina!
01:07:36Nina!
01:07:36Did you hear that?
01:07:43James?
01:07:43James! It's me! Can you hear me?
01:07:46Nina, you shouldn't be here. It's not safe.
01:07:49One is coming for you. Wait, James! Don't go!
01:07:55One is coming for you!
01:07:58Find me the heart.
01:08:02The heart? That's where he is.
01:08:04The heart is at the core of the veil. If James is tied to it, separating him won't be easy.
01:08:17Nothing about this has ever been easy.
01:08:20Guys, we need to figure out a plan before taking him out.
01:08:24That thing in the shadow wouldn't let us just take him like that.
01:08:34James, stay with me. Don't let it take you.
01:08:38I'm trying, but the veil is too strong.
01:08:40Nina! You have to do something. Pull him out.
01:08:43We can't just hold the devil back forever.
01:08:45She can't do it alone.
01:08:48You all must focus. The veil feeds on division. Only unity can break and separate them.
01:09:04I don't know if I can. The veil is part of me now.
01:09:16It's not enough. Part of me is still here.
01:09:20You have done enough for me.
01:09:23No, we can figure this out. We just need more time.
01:09:27There has to be another way to fix this. I am not leaving you here like this.
01:09:31It's too late. If I leave, I will die.
01:09:37There's no way that's it. Everything has a solution. We've been through so much before.
01:09:42The veil is unyielding. To exist outside of it, James would need to sever himself completely.
01:09:52But he feeds on the energy. Without it, he won't survive.
01:09:59I don't care what it takes to fix this. You deserve to come home.
01:10:03I can feel your love. That's enough for me.
01:10:08If we stay here any longer, the veil might trap all of us.
01:10:13We have to go, Nina.
01:10:15She's right. James wouldn't want us to risk our lives. That's not what he'd want for us.
01:10:19No, James. I can't leave you again. Not like this.
01:10:23You are not losing me. I will always be with you in here.
01:10:29Nina, we have to go. The veil is not going to wait.
01:10:33And I will never stop watching you, little bird.
01:10:37I will never stop watching you, little bird.
01:10:41Move! The veil is closing in.
01:10:56We made it out. Barely.
01:10:59He's safe now in his own way.
01:11:02No. He's still gone and I couldn't save him.
01:11:10You gave him peace, Nina, which is more than the veil ever offered him.
01:11:15Goodbye, James. I'll never forget you.
01:11:28Open the portal!
01:11:37It's starting. We have to do this now.
01:11:41Well, I just hope it works.
01:11:44Focus. Think about why we're here. What are we fighting for?
01:11:53You think the field success will help you defeat me?
01:11:56You cannot end me. You belong to me.
01:12:01We belong to no one. This ends now.
01:12:08Don't stop. Keep going.
01:12:13Don't stop.
01:12:26That's it.
01:12:27The heart of the veil.
01:12:28They've done it.
01:12:36They've done it.
01:12:39But the veil won't give up without a fight.
01:12:41Guys, we can't hold off the evil forever.
01:13:01The veil's core is weakening.
01:13:03It's heart is its anchor. If you destroy it, it will collapse. You have to act fast!
01:13:10What happens to Eleanor and James if we do?
01:13:11She will be freed from this evil.
01:13:15No. As will James.
01:13:18Let's finish this.
01:13:21You cannot escape. You cannot bring the cycle.
01:13:24Yes, we can!
01:13:29Run! Get to Eleanor's room. It's the only safe place.
01:13:35Let's go!
01:13:45And Eleanor?
01:13:49Nina, sweetheart, you're here.
01:13:55You've done so much.
01:13:57And the strength of the veil is weakening.
01:14:01Wait, we need to get you out of here. The veil is collapsing.
01:14:05I can't leave. I cannot leave just yet. I'm still held back by the darkness of the veil.
01:14:11Then how do we break it for good?
01:14:14The anchor must be severed completely. But for that, we must come together.
01:14:19We'll do it together.
01:14:22Let's end this.
01:14:23You cannot destroy me, I am.
01:14:36Not anymore!
01:14:37It's gone. The veil is gone.
01:14:51You've done it! You've broken the cycle!
01:15:02The veil is no more!
01:15:03The past has been severed.
01:15:06You are free!
01:15:09We couldn't have done it without you, Aunt Eleanor!
01:15:12Aunt Eleanor!
01:15:13We did it. It's finally over.
01:15:22It's peaceful, but it's a little bit empty somehow.
01:15:26We've done so much. And now? Now what?
01:15:33Now we just move on and leave all this behind.
01:15:37Now we rebuild. We take what we've learned and we move forward.
01:15:42For Eleanor's sake, there's nothing else.
01:15:46What about you? What happens to you?
01:15:48My time here is done.
01:15:52Eleanor's legacy is complete.
01:15:55This house is no longer a prison. It's free.
01:15:59As are all of you.
01:16:01But remember, Eleanor's legacy was never about ending the cycle.
01:16:08It was about giving you the chance to live beyond it.
01:16:12We'll live. We'll make sure it wasn't all for nothing.
01:16:15You freed this place and yourselves. Eleanor would be proud.
01:16:26She was so close. If she just had more time...
01:16:34She left us a legacy. She left us the tools to finish what she started.
01:16:39I know. But if we've been here sooner, maybe we'll just save her from...
01:16:48She made her choice, Lila. Just like we made ours.
01:16:53We cannot change the past. But we can live our honor from now.
01:17:00You're right. We have our own path now.
01:17:09We made it through.
01:17:14But what comes next?
01:17:20We made it through.
01:17:30But what comes next?
01:17:32Let's see where it takes us.
01:17:47Everything is different now. No more shifting spaces.
01:17:51And no more feelings like we're in some endless nightmare.
01:17:55It feels like the weight of the world has lifted off our shoulders.
01:17:59You've broken the cycle, but at great expense.
01:18:03Eleanor gave everything she had to try to set you free.
01:18:07And in the end, you did what she couldn't. You ended the valerian over this place.
01:18:14We found peace. It wasn't easy, but we did it. So we can just continue the way with the knowledge
01:18:24that we've gained. Rest is up to us.
01:18:27This is where we part ways, I guess. It doesn't have to be. We can visit.
01:18:41We'll always have this place as a part of our story.
01:18:46In the mystery of the end, we'll live in our memories forever.
01:18:51Maybe it's time to make new stories.
01:18:57Maybe this will always be a reminder. Even when shadows envelop us, there is
01:19:12always light to dispel the shadows.
01:19:20It was about truth. Not the kind that gets published or reported, but the kind that sets you free.
01:19:27I spent years trying to make sense of the darkness, but I've learned the darkness isn't always evil.
01:19:52Sometimes they are reflections.
01:19:57It's easier to create when you understand the light. And now I can.
01:20:07This place gave me the strength to find myself again.
01:20:11The veil is no more. Time for new beginnings.
01:20:14This is more than a hotel. It's a home. A safe place.
