00:00:00You are cordially invited to the reading of Eleanor Winter's will.
00:00:10Attendance is required for consideration of inheritance.
00:00:15Frostwood Inn.
00:00:17Why would Eleanor choose me?
00:00:22A free trip to the middle of nowhere.
00:00:25Must be my lucky day.
00:00:27Frostwood Inn invitation?
00:00:32Hmm, interesting.
00:00:36Maybe I'll find some inspiration there.
00:00:39Oh, Aunt Eleanor, you never stop chasing ghosts.
00:00:53You're the first to arrive.
00:01:02Come in before the storm swallows you whole.
00:01:05What a charming little icebox.
00:01:08Miss Monroe, just in time.
00:01:20Of course, she invited the mysterious bookworm.
00:01:24Um, nice to meet you, Miss Nina.
00:01:27Call me Nina.
00:01:38Did I just sign up for an arctic expedition?
00:01:46I'm Alex, and you must be-
00:01:54Lila, nice to meet you.
00:01:56I love your podcast, by the way.
00:02:00Thanks.
00:02:05I guess we are all here for the same reason.
00:02:08Unless you're here to critique the architecture.
00:02:11I'm Jules, by the way.
00:02:13Nice to meet you all.
00:02:15Welcome to Frostwood Inn.
00:02:27The will shall be read tomorrow.
00:02:29Settling upstairs, we have the male and female board.
00:02:33Sweet.
00:02:34I guess I got the whole wing by myself.
00:02:45It's best to stay in your room at night.
00:02:59This inn has quirks.
00:03:14Fantastic.
00:03:16Quirks.
00:03:17My foot.
00:03:22Oh.
00:03:44Miss Grayson?
00:03:51Is that you?
00:04:11Okay.
00:04:11Definitely not creepy at all.
00:04:25Rooms shift, shadows move. The inn hides its truth behind wheels.
00:04:34This place doesn't feel alive. It feels... watchful.
00:04:42Let's hope that morning brings us the answers.
00:04:48Eleanor Winters leaves Frosthold Inn to the four of you.
00:04:54Provides you reside here together for three weeks.
00:05:00Three weeks in this old place with strangers?
00:05:04It's a small price to pay for an inn like this.
00:05:07Right, says the woman who probably brought a Wi-Fi router.
00:05:12And if you live before them, you shall forfeit the inheritance.
00:05:15Three weeks isn't that long.
00:05:24If we can work together, we could change our lives.
00:05:27Change our lives how? Like, what's the catch?
00:05:33The catch is we're here because Eleanor wanted to watch us squirm.
00:05:38I'm sure this is some reality TV show or prank or something.
00:05:41Maybe.
00:05:42Maybe.
00:05:44But why us?
00:05:46It all has to be for a reason.
00:05:49Maybe she wanted us to find... something?
00:05:55The inn has secrets, some of which are better left undisturbed.
00:06:00What was Eleanor hiding?
00:06:19Did you say something?
00:06:21Did you say something?
00:06:23Um, no. No, nothing.
00:06:26Um, let's go downstairs. Eleanor to use the fireplace's warmth.
00:06:31Sure.
00:06:32Coming, Nina?
00:06:34Uh, you guys go ahead. I'll come by later.
00:06:39Okay.
00:06:44Let's vault this place up.
00:06:46You don't just leave it into a stranger's.
00:07:00Unless there's something you wanted to find.
00:07:02What do we have here?
00:07:24The veil binds us all.
00:07:27Time twists and the voices echo.
00:07:29Where the light cannot reach.
00:07:30This is Eleanor's.
00:07:34It has to be.
00:07:36But what does any of it mean?
00:07:37We don't need to like each other. We just need to survive for three weeks.
00:07:38Survive? What do you mean survive? Make it sound like we're in danger.
00:07:43She's not wrong.
00:07:44There is something off about this place. The way the air feels.
00:07:49Don't pretend like you haven't noticed.
00:07:50Don't pretend like you haven't noticed.
00:07:51People did disappear here sometimes in the past.
00:07:52Come on, Alex.
00:07:53Don't let the atmosphere get too much.
00:07:54The way the air feels.
00:07:55Don't pretend like you haven't noticed.
00:07:56People did disappear here sometimes in the past.
00:07:57We don't need to like each other. We just need to survive for three weeks.
00:08:01Survive? What do you mean survive? Make it sound like we're in danger.
00:08:06She's not wrong.
00:08:08There is something off about this place. The way the air feels.
00:08:12Don't pretend like you haven't noticed.
00:08:15People did disappear here sometimes in the past.
00:08:19Come on Alex, don't let the atmosphere get to you.
00:08:23Oh, maybe. Or maybe we should be paying attention to the things that feels weird before it's too late.
00:08:31Danger doesn't always come from outside, Miss Winters.
00:08:39Are you saying the danger's inside? What kind of games are you playing here Mrs. Grayson?
00:08:45Games have rules, Miss Carter. This house does not.
00:08:53The walls speak if you listen. Truth lies in silence.
00:09:07Let's face it. Eleanor chose us for a reason. What's everyone hiding?
00:09:13Why does it matter? She's dead and we're stuck here. I just want my share and to leave.
00:09:18Well, actually, I found something. And there is written something about listening to the walls.
00:09:25So, maybe we can see if there is something more that we can realize.
00:09:31You think she left clues for us? Why?
00:09:39The inn doesn't take kindly to curiosity. Remember, it killed the cat.
00:09:48Yes!
00:09:50I hurt everybody when I cabed around the chest.
00:09:51Or we can see in time when I see.
00:09:52PLE PUBLIC
00:10:18.
00:10:48Lovely, isn't it?
00:11:18You shouldn't be here.
00:11:22I just got lost exploring the place.
00:11:34Jules?
00:11:35You seem jittery. Have you found anything interesting?
00:11:40Jittery? Me? No.
00:11:43You must be mistaken.
00:11:45I'm just adjusting to the cult, I guess.
00:11:49Or maybe it's Eleanor's idea of crazy social experiments.
00:11:54Or maybe she just wanted us to drive each other crazy.
00:11:59...
00:12:04...
00:12:10...
00:12:11...
00:12:12...
00:12:13...
00:12:15...
00:12:17Where is that room?
00:12:39I'm sure it was that way.
00:12:47Do you hear sounds at night, like whispers?
00:12:56Maybe.
00:12:57Why?
00:12:58Because I think the inn is trying to tell us something.
00:13:07Some whispers are best ignored.
00:13:10They are but figments of your imagination.
00:13:16I'm starting to not like her.
00:13:21You and me, both.
00:13:33I'm sure I wasn't dreaming.
00:13:36I trotted the whole place and I still can't find the painting.
00:13:40Good afternoon.
00:13:42Can I help you with something?
00:13:45I'm looking for a room with a painting, a large painting.
00:13:49I tried looking for it, but I can't seem to find it.
00:13:54This inn tends to shift about.
00:13:57It only lets you see what it wants you to see.
00:14:01What do you mean, like it switches space?
00:14:06Maybe.
00:14:07Oh!
00:14:20Here comes the loner.
00:14:20Haven't seen you all day, what have you been up to?
00:14:23You look worn out.
00:14:24You sleep much?
00:14:26it
00:14:28it must be the weather

00:24:04He needs a key to open.
00:24:06A key? Jules, the key! The key you found earlier!
00:24:28This is odd.
00:24:30What's...
00:24:33Look at these photographs!
00:24:40There must be a mistake.
00:24:42No. It's authentic alright.
00:24:47Guys, you're not gonna believe this.
00:24:52Authorities are baffled as four individuals mysteriously disappeared from Frostwood Inn.
00:24:58Curses were last seen entering the Primes.
00:25:01But no signs of struggle or departure has been found.
00:25:05Local whispers of the Inn's dark reputation.
00:25:07Fueling fears of an unexplainable curse.
00:25:11This was from 50 years ago.
00:25:13Well, I'll be damned if the date matches the disappearance, but that doesn't explain anything.
00:25:19Do you think that's why Eleanor brought us here together?
00:25:25We're barely getting the surface crash, and I'm supposed to believe there's some grand mystery here?
00:25:29There is a mystery, Nina. Eleanor didn't just pick up us by accident. The picture says it all.
00:25:35I mean, we're not just some random strangers. It proves...
00:25:39It proves nothing! 50 years ago, I wasn't even born!
00:25:43And somehow I ended up in a photograph with my aunt?
00:25:45We can't deny the photograph, Nina.
00:25:48We're all so confused.
00:25:50But I agree with Lila. We are not chosen at random. We all have our own role to play. And it's our duty to find out which ones.
00:26:02Time is in the straight line we thought it was.
00:26:04I mean, Eleanor somehow chose us to be here at this moment. Eleanor never said she knew us before we were born.
00:26:15This is all confusing. But at least we found something. Why don't we just start here?
00:26:27My, my. The past doesn't like to be disturbed.
00:26:31Enough with this cryptic nonsense. What does this mean?
00:26:35It means you've walked into a time trap.
00:26:39Guys, this is incredible.
00:26:41They're not just journal entries. They're more like research. Like she was piecing the secrets of the house together.
00:26:50Can anyone make sense of this? I'm hitting the wall with these symbols and diagrams. They're not exactly my fault.
00:27:01The symbols. They're references to alchemy and ancient sealing. Rituals. And look here. This diagram matches the layout of the inn.
00:27:12Why did she write all this and left it behind?
00:27:15Maybe she wanted somebody to find this. Somebody who could end what she started.
00:27:21The veil must hold or the shadows will consume. The heart of the house is key. Found by time and intent.
00:27:30The heart of the house. She means the source of all of this. The thing we need to destroy.
00:27:37The symbol is repeated everywhere. It has to mean something. Maybe it's the anchor of the veil.
00:27:45This man? He's in the locket we found earlier. Who is he?
00:27:55The man Eleanor feared, I think. Or the man who betrayed her.
00:28:00A betrayal? But for me Eleanor didn't seem someone who would trust anyone that much.
00:28:06What if she did trust him? Maybe that's why we're here.
00:28:12Wait.
00:28:16He will come back for what I took. His revenge is inevitable.
00:28:21He was terrified. We're not just dealing with an inheritance. This is personal.
00:28:29This man. He's why we're here. Eleanor thought someone would return.
00:28:34The journal? It mentioned betrayal. What if the man is still watching us?
00:28:41What's that?
00:28:43Sir, if this turns into a ghost story, I'm not staying here.
00:28:47I don't think it's a ghost.
00:28:49You've already awakened what was meant to stay buried!
00:28:53These letters, they are signed by J.
00:29:17The man in the photo.
00:29:22These letters. Of J's. He wasn't just angry. He was planning something.
00:29:30Why would she keep these hidden? Was she scared he'd come back?
00:29:34Maybe she was. The man, J. Maybe he's the one who is watching us.
00:29:40These are not just random thoughts written in the journal.
00:29:46It's warnings.
00:29:48Warnings for what?
00:29:50The journal mentioned betrayal.
00:29:52She warned about the inn itself.
00:29:54About someone returning to take something she had taken.
00:29:58A betrayal.
00:30:00Maybe he's the one who betrayed her.
00:30:04Listen to this one.
00:30:06The light will reveal the truth, but whispers in the dark will always remain.
00:30:12What was that?!
00:30:16Okay, can we for one moment not die of a heart attack while we're trying to solve this?
00:30:22You've found the truth, but now you've crossed the line.
00:30:28The past won't forgive.
00:30:32Why are we here? It doesn't feel random.
00:30:40Maybe it were the loose ends that Eleanor wanted to tie up. Or whoever that J guy is.
00:30:46This is just like Eleanor. She likes toying with people. This could be nothing.
00:30:51What if it's not? What if she was trying to protect us?
00:30:57Perhaps Eleanor was trying to protect herself. But you've already disturbed that which should remain undisturbed.
00:31:07What does that mean?
00:31:09It means you've brought the past closer than you think.
00:31:13He watches from the whale.
00:31:15The one who betrayed me seeks to undo what I've built.
00:31:19Who's he? What's his name? It cannot be just J.
00:31:23Eleanor wouldn't leave these hints to us if it was that simple.
00:31:29She probably wants us to find him. Or what he has left for us.
00:31:33And we're all just blindly playing along? For all we know this J could still be around.
00:31:39Then why all these warnings? She must have been terrified.
00:31:49If Eleanor wants us to find something, it's not just her words. It's somewhere over here.
00:31:57Is it just me or did Eleanor keep all her life hidden in puzzles?
00:32:01That's probably cheaper than a therapy.
00:32:04What was their connection?
00:32:06He was her greatest love. And her greatest disappointment.
00:32:14Oh, so you knew him. Then why don't you try to mention it even once?
00:32:20Some stories I better left untold.
00:32:25But Eleanor didn't leave you that choice, did she?
00:32:31I gave him my trust, my heart, and he took everything.
00:32:35But I will ensure he never gets what he truly wants.
00:32:38What did he want? The inn? Her fortune?
00:32:43Or her silence. Open it already.
00:32:46Wait, what if it's another warning? Eleanor didn't just give us these clues for fun, right?
00:32:52Well, we've already ignored the other ones. Let's see how bad this can get.
00:33:04To the one I wrung, I knew my betrayal would lead us both here. The truth lies where the heart was broken.
00:33:11That's it? Another cryptic line? Typical Eleanor.
00:33:17That's not just it. She's committing guilt.
00:33:23Where the heart remembers?
00:33:26It's a clue.
00:33:28Another scavenger game?
00:33:30Great!
00:33:31So what? She cheated someone out of money? Broke their heart? Why drag us into it?
00:33:39Because we're connected. She said the truth lies where the heart was broken. It should mean something.
00:33:44Yeah, let's all take turns and we guess who's next to get haunted.
00:33:53You found what Eleanor feared most. Be careful where you look next.
00:34:00Why? What's left to find?
00:34:02The truth. And the one she betrayed.
00:34:07The truth lies beneath the veil of memory.
00:34:10The truth lies beneath the veil of memory.
00:34:12Who's there?
00:34:13Who's there?
00:34:28Who was that?
00:34:29To understand the past, you must face the future. Look to where memory fades, and you will see one.
00:34:52Where memory fades.
00:34:53The truth lies.
00:34:56Oh!
00:34:57Alex, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost.
00:35:01Not a ghost. Just a message.
00:35:11This is more than just Eleanor's riddles.
00:35:14Where memories fade? This could be obvious. We're looking for something hidden.
00:35:20I know, but where?
00:35:23This... they're from Eleanor's younger age.
00:35:29But... there is something awful about these pictures.
00:35:33That's odd. Why is the guy's face hidden?
00:35:37There is more.
00:35:38So, it's addressed to Eleanor but it's signed J.
00:35:42I promised I'd return for what you stole from me.
00:35:46You can run, but you can't hide. The truth will find you. J.
00:35:51Jay. So Jay is the one Eleanor betrayed. But then why is he threatening us now?
00:36:06You found the door to the past. But should it be unlocked? Some doors are better left closed.
00:36:15You have been saying cryptic shit all this time. What do you know, Mrs. Grayson?
00:36:19The truth is more dangerous than you think. You better be careful what you awaken.
00:36:36This... this feels wrong.
00:36:40Guys, I've seen this symbol in her diaries and it's warning. It means we need to leave.
00:36:50We're not leaving. Not until we find what we want.
00:36:56Someone's coming. Quickly, hide!
00:36:58What's this?
00:37:05Why were you hidden here?
00:37:11Why were you hidden here?
00:37:17What's this?
00:37:22Why were you hidden here?
00:37:23Why were you hidden here?
00:37:37Okay. Definitely not creepy at all.
00:37:43Shhh. Stay quiet. Whoever it is, we don't want them to know we're here.
00:37:48You're not ready for this.
00:38:02None of you are.
00:38:11Too long I have waited for this.
00:38:14What was that? What does she know?
00:38:15It seemed like she was talking to someone, but who? There was nobody before we entered the room.
00:38:32She's definitely hiding something. I don't know what, but it's more than just a housekeeper's secrets.
00:38:40Any of you feel like you're being watched?
00:38:42Let's get back to her rooms. We'll discuss this in the morning. Remember to lock your rooms.
00:38:47That was really dangerous. We almost got off.
00:38:52Oh, Jules! How good of you to join us. Where were you last night?
00:38:57Why?
00:38:58Okay, enough. We've been here long enough. We're all on edge, Nina.
00:39:03This place is trying to divide us. How about we just get back on track and we can figure out what's in that drawer.
00:39:10What's in that drawer?
00:39:14Here. I found this in the female boarding room. Thought it might help us to unlock something we're missing.
00:39:25Guess we'll find out soon enough.
00:39:27Wait. What if Eleonore didn't want us to find out?
00:39:40Let's pray.
00:39:41Let's pray.
00:39:42Let's pray.
00:39:43Let's pray.
00:39:44Let's pray.
00:39:45Let's pray.
00:39:46Let's pray.
00:39:48Let's pray.
00:40:06The truth will be your undoing.
00:40:08The past cannot be erased, nor can it be undone.
00:40:12Beware the one who waits.
00:40:15Who's the one who waits?
00:40:21You shouldn't have done this.
00:40:33We're going to uncover everything.
00:40:35After this, there is no turning back.
00:40:39Damn, these cheap batteries!
00:40:42What is this? Why is it so cold?
00:40:44Something is wrong. We shouldn't be here.
00:40:47Shut up. With you, nothing is ever right.
00:40:50The sooner soil this mystery, the better.
00:40:52Guys, this must be Eleanor's private journal.
00:40:56Look at those notes.
00:40:58Look! It's another one of hers. Eleanor's handwriting.
00:41:03I knew the veil would break one day.
00:41:05He waits for what I took.
00:41:07And he won't stop until it's his again.
00:41:10Who is he? And what's the veil?
00:41:13Fantastic. So we've hit the ghost jackpot now?
00:41:17Some truths are better left buried.
00:41:22Heavens, would it kill you to announce yourself once in a while?
00:41:25Why should it be hidden? What was Eleanor so scared of?
00:41:29You are not ready for the truth.
00:41:32Great. More puzzles. Does Eleanor think we're detectives or something?
00:41:44Well, she did invite us here to clean up her mess.
00:41:48To those who follow, beware what you're uncovered.
00:41:52The past holds more than memories. It holds him.
00:41:56It's Eleanor. And him again.
00:42:02This guy. Jay. Whoever he is, he must be the key to all of this.
00:42:12Who is he? And why did Eleanor keep this hidden?
00:42:16Because she knew what he was capable of. She knew he would not stop.
00:42:21Why not tell us? Why leave us all the breadcrumbs?
00:42:25Because she knew you were the only ones who could stop him.
00:42:30You know what? It's late, and I'm tired. I'm fucking tired.
00:42:36I don't know about you guys, but I'm gonna go back and take a warm bath
00:42:40to wash out all the soreness and the dust.
00:42:43Goodnight.
00:42:46Um, excuse me. Uh, goodnight.
00:42:51The veil isn't just a metaphor. It's a barrier that keeps him out.
00:42:55The veil isn't just a metaphor. It's a barrier that keeps him out.
00:43:00Help! Who's there?
00:43:12Help! Who's there?
00:43:16Help! Who's there?
00:43:19What happened? Are you okay?
00:43:25It-it talked to me. It said we've gone too far.
00:43:31He lives between what was and what is. The veil is his prison, but he's breaking free.
00:43:42What is it even supposed to mean?
00:43:44It means he's waking up. Eleanor used to keep him locked away.
00:43:50But you're breaking down these walls.
00:43:53Who? Who's tearing down the walls?
00:43:56Mrs. Grayson, I think you owe us answers at this point.
00:44:05What do you wish to know?
00:44:07If this guy is real, why hasn't he shown himself?
00:44:10He doesn't exist in this plane.
00:44:13But I assure you, he's as real as you and me.
00:44:19Uh, you mentioned someone is waking him up? Who and how?
00:44:24The four of you are waking him up.
00:44:27He feeds on fear.
00:44:31The more you dig, the more strong he becomes.
00:44:40Then why leave us all these clues?
00:44:42Why lead us to him?
00:44:45Eleanor didn't want you to free him.
00:44:49She wanted you to stop him.
00:44:52Great. No pressure.
00:45:01There's nothing concrete there.
00:45:20It's all cryptic warnings.
00:45:22Or maybe that's all Eleanor had.
00:45:25Warnings.
00:45:26Here it is.
00:45:28This is the heart of the house.
00:45:30This is where we can find him.
00:45:33Or stop him.
00:45:42Okay, this is insane.
00:45:43We're walking straight into his trap.
00:45:46Do you have a better idea?
00:45:48Because reading these letters or the notes is not great either.
00:45:53If Eleanor marked this as the heart,
00:45:55it means she meant for us to go.
00:45:58Or where she was trying to warn us not to go.
00:46:03Can we stop it with the dramatics already?
00:46:07You found it.
00:46:11Eleanor's final clue.
00:46:13You mean the creepy heart room?
00:46:16Care to explain what's waiting for us there?
00:46:19This house was built around it.
00:46:22It's where he resides.
00:46:24Eleanor trapped him there.
00:46:27But the veil is breaking.
00:46:30Wonderful.
00:46:31So yeah, we're just gonna walk in and fix her mistakes, right?
00:46:36Eleanor chose you for a reason.
00:46:39You're all connected to him somehow.
00:46:42How are we connected?
00:46:44Think of how you know Eleanor.
00:46:48And then you'll be able to figure out what he wants
00:46:53and why he's interested in the four of you.
00:47:01You seem drawn to this one.
00:47:10It's called transition.
00:47:12It's more than a painting.
00:47:14It's the story.
00:47:16An incomplete one.
00:47:18You think so?
00:47:20Most people just see shadows.
00:47:24Most people are not paying attention.
00:47:27But you are.
00:47:29That's what's make your work so different.
00:47:33Do I know you?
00:47:35You seem familiar.
00:47:37Perhaps.
00:47:39In another time.
00:47:41Well, congratulations on your opening.
00:47:45I'll keep an eye on your work.
00:47:50Art doesn't just reflect the soul.
00:48:00It reveals the unseen.
00:48:03Your studio deserves to stand the test of time.
00:48:06Consider this my contribution.
00:48:13So, Mrs. Jules.
00:48:15Your studio has gotten a lot of attention since its opening.
00:48:18Tell me, what inspired this exhibit?
00:48:21Honestly, I don't think I fully understand it myself.
00:48:26These pieces, they just come to me.
00:48:30Like, they are meant to be created.
00:48:33Rumor has it that this was impossible without an anonymous contributor.
00:48:38Any idea of who they are?
00:48:40Fits me.
00:48:42Whoever they are, they believed in myself more than I believed in myself.
00:48:48I wonder if they see the same story in the shadows.
00:48:51Sorry, what was that?
00:48:52Um, no, nothing.
00:48:54I was just thinking out loud.
00:49:03Who are you really, Elioner?
00:49:10That's a charming place.
00:49:15It has an air of curiosity about it.
00:49:19That's what I aim for.
00:49:20Welcome to the Curious Bookworm.
00:49:22Can I help you find anything?
00:49:24Well, I'm actually here to help you.
00:49:27I hear you are quite an investigator of various strange phenomena.
00:49:32What is this?
00:49:34That's a family estate.
00:49:37Has a reputation about it.
00:49:39I think you'll find it interesting.
00:49:42That's incredible, but...
00:49:45And I leave you for a few minutes and you wander off like that.
00:49:49Sorry to bother you.
00:49:50We're leaving.
00:49:51I trust you'll make a good use of it.
00:49:54Just be careful where your curiosity leaves you.
00:49:57Today we are diving into the enigmatic history of Frostbuddin, known for its haunting atmosphere and unexplained events.
00:50:10This estate has been the subject for local legends for decades.
00:50:19Hey, do you have a minute?
00:50:21Sure, what's in your mind?
00:50:23I wanted to apologize to you for the other day.
00:50:26My aunt can be... not so okay, so to speak.
00:50:29She may have spoken things to seem odd to you, but she's not a bad person, she's just...
00:50:33You don't believe in her, don't you?
00:50:36I don't.
00:50:37But...
00:50:38Frostbuddin has had strange happenings.
00:50:41But they can all be explained rationally, that's all.
00:50:53You've been running your whole life, Nina.
00:51:05You can't just keep running.
00:51:07I'm not running.
00:51:09I'm just not interested in chasing shadows.
00:51:12These are not shadows.
00:51:14This is our family legacy.
00:51:16An old, creepy inn?
00:51:20Sounds more like a burden, not a legacy.
00:51:23You have no idea what Frostbud Inn is holding.
00:51:27This is not just an inn.
00:51:29This is about who we are, and one day you will understand.
00:51:34If it's so important to you, why don't you deal with it yourself? Why drag me into it?
00:51:39Because I won't always be here.
00:51:43What do you want me to do?
00:51:45For now, just listen.
00:51:47And when the time comes, you will know what to do.
00:51:53You should know better than to wander off, Aunt.
00:51:55Library had nothing much about Frostbuddin.
00:51:58Well, sometimes you need to go elsewhere to find out the truth.
00:52:01You know, you have to be more curious.
00:52:04Because that's how we find out who we are.
00:52:06Or how we waste time chasing ghosts.
00:52:08Legends of Frostbuddin speak of a mysterious veil that protects its secrets,
00:52:21but also binds those who inherit its legacy.
00:52:24Is it a place of power, or a curse waiting to claim its next victim?
00:52:29Hey!
00:52:30I've been listening to your podcast.
00:52:31Wow.
00:52:32I'm flattered.
00:52:33Don't tell me I've converted you into a believer.
00:52:34Honestly, I thought it was just stories, but I'm not so sure.
00:52:48My aunt, Eleanor, she's obsessed with Frostbuddin.
00:52:52Yeah.
00:52:53Eleanor mentioned you.
00:52:55She thinks that you might be a part of something bigger.
00:52:58She's good at being cryptic.
00:53:00Do you think there's anything real behind all this?
00:53:03I think it's worth looking to it.
00:53:05I mean, if she's right, you might be a key to understanding it.
00:53:10I'm not so sure I want to understand this.
00:53:13The Frostbuddin is more than just an old building.
00:53:34It's a mystery woven into the fabric of our town.
00:53:37A place where stories seem to go to hide and people sometimes vanish altogether.
00:53:44Some call it cursed, others a masterpiece of misfortune.
00:53:48But the question remains, what is Frostbud really hiding?
00:53:53What the hell is this, Alex?
00:54:06I told you to stick to the mayoral campaign.
00:54:09This is bigger than politics, Marcus.
00:54:12Four people disappeared near that inn 50 years ago.
00:54:15There was not a trace and nobody was connecting the dots.
00:54:18Until now.
00:54:20There are no dots to connect.
00:54:22You are pushing a ghost story.
00:54:24We are not running this-
00:54:25The public deserves to know the truth!
00:54:33The truth about Frostbud may never fully be uncovered.
00:54:37But for those brave or foolish, enough to try, it's a path you can walk back from.
00:54:44Looks like I'm going back to the story.
00:54:50Jay, where are you, Mr. Jay?
00:54:55Hmm?
00:54:56The faint whisper of Jay.
00:54:58The one who holds the key to all of this.
00:55:01I fear I have failed him.
00:55:03But he will come when it is time.
00:55:05I only hope it is not too late.
00:55:09Wait.
00:55:10She said that he would come whenever is the time.
00:55:14What if he's not just someone from her past?
00:55:17What if he's been here all along?
00:55:19Or what if he's the one that we have been interacting whole time, but we didn't even realize.
00:55:29I see you're trying to find the identity of Jay.
00:55:34Why don't you tell us more about him? Was he an enemy of a friend?
00:55:41Eleanor trusted Jay because she knew him better than anyone else.
00:55:46But he was also the reason why she was trapped here.
00:55:49Why? What's his connection to all of this?
00:55:53Jay wasn't a stranger. He was, or is, one of you.
00:55:59What do you mean, one of us?
00:56:03He vanished. Or rather, part of him vanished 50 years ago.
00:56:10One of us? So he's been here all along?
00:56:14Jay was your connection to the Vale, but he became part of the Shadow.
00:56:20He was trapped in the Earthreal plane with Eleanor.
00:56:25His identity was lost, his memory wiped, until all of you returned.
00:56:34So, Jay has been here all the time?
00:56:38Yes. Jay is the missing piece, the key to the cycle.
00:56:44He was tied to the Vale.
00:56:48Just like you all were.
00:56:51He wasn't fortunate enough to come out whole, like you back then.
00:57:00Whole? What do you mean, whole?
00:57:05Jay was none other than James, your brother, Nina.
00:57:09James, my brother?
00:57:16But he's been in a wheelchair for as long as I can remember.
00:57:20The last time you were together, he got lost in the Vale,
00:57:24and he sacrificed part of himself so that you could all get out.
00:57:29Eleanor went back to try to get the piece that he had left behind,
00:57:36so that he could be whole again.
00:57:39But she discovered the Shadow merged with him.
00:57:42In essence, he became that which you were trying to escape.
00:57:50This map was Eleanor's last attempt to escape the Vale.
00:57:59She believes the in-spaces shift, mirroring their counterparts in the Vale.
00:58:05Therefore, for instance, becomes a heart.
00:58:11How about other rooms?
00:58:14Like boarding rooms?
00:58:17They become manifestations of the Vale's power.
00:58:20Each one feeding evil.
00:58:23So, how do we get in?
00:58:25Are we supposed to just walk into some other dimension?
00:58:28This will help you cross over.
00:58:32This is how Eleanor went in and how you will follow her.
00:58:36So, what if we can't come back?
00:58:39Then the Vale will claim you.
00:58:42Then let's do this.
00:58:43We've come too far to back out now.
00:58:50Worlds align and worlds collide.
00:58:53Worlds arrive and worlds collide.
00:58:56Let them all come inside!
00:59:02This... this doesn't feel right.
00:59:06It's too late to back out now.
00:59:14Step through. Together.
00:59:16Step through. Together.
00:59:29Don't let us get lost.
00:59:31You are stronger than the evil.
00:59:34Trust each other!
00:59:46This... this is the Vale?
00:59:49It looks... warped.
00:59:52Warped.
00:59:53It's not just warped.
00:59:54It's... wrong.
00:59:55Look at the walls.
00:59:56They're breathing.
00:59:57Look at this place.
00:59:58Stick together.
00:59:59We don't know what's real here.
01:00:01You've come back.
01:00:02The cycle begins.
01:00:03This place.
01:00:04It's alive.
01:00:05It's alive.
01:00:06Alive.
01:00:08And watch this.
01:00:09Careful.
01:00:10Please don't go anywhere and don't go separated because if this place shifts, we can lose each
01:00:23other.
01:00:24Right.
01:00:25We stick together, no matter what.
01:00:35It's a marking. Eleanor must have left it behind.
01:00:48What does it mean? Is it part of the map?
01:00:51It's like a sigil. She probably tried to contain something here or come back here.
01:00:59Or maybe it's protecting us.
01:01:02Or maybe it's protecting something else. Could you please see if there is anything under it?
01:01:10Wait, what is that?
01:01:13It's like a compass. It's pointing somewhere.
01:01:19Looks like that's where we're going to.
01:01:21Wait, what if it's leading us into a trap?
01:01:24Doesn't matter. If we want to find Eleanor, we're gonna take the risk.
01:01:29Let's go before this place starts changing.
01:01:31This place feels worse than the foyer, like it's breathing.
01:01:49The compass brought us here, so there has to be something we can find.
01:01:53These markings, it's similar to those in Eleanor's diary. In her journal, she said, the veil imprints itself on the space it consumes.
01:02:03Great. So are we walking in that whale's stomach?
01:02:07Stay close. Don't let the voice mess your mind.
01:02:11The compass. The compass. It's pointing there. It means that evil doesn't want us near it.
01:02:18To hell with that! Let's find out what's inside!
01:02:21Flashlights! Use your lights! It keeps the darkness away.
01:02:26Got it!
01:02:29Roast! Roast! Roast are you clear?
01:02:47Let's see what we're supposed to find in this room.
01:02:53Whatever we need must be in that wall.
01:02:56Do you really think with it moving like this we'll just easily give up?
01:03:02Wait, there is something written about this wall in this diary.
01:03:08Speak softly your desires and tap twice to reveal that which is hidden.
01:03:15Right, as if that'll work.
01:03:19You can go far without some fight, little bird.
01:03:23James?
01:03:25I am, but I am not. Yes, yes. That was what they used to call me.
01:03:33Oh god, James, is that you?
01:03:36I am here, there, everywhere. But it's not important. You have to end and free us.
01:03:45Oh my god!
01:03:49Go on. I'm all there for a long weekend.
01:03:53Quickly! We're here!
01:03:55So, we have the fragments now. What now? How do we use this to end the veil?
01:04:13Well, Eleanor said that fragments must be combined at the heart of the veil.
01:04:17That's this room, but it requires…
01:04:19What? It requires what?
01:04:21It requires a strong bond, strong connection between the people who are involved.
01:04:27Because the veil fits on division and fear, so we have to connect. Like, we have to have connection, we have to have trust… and focus.
01:04:38Great. Trust and focus. No pressure.
01:04:42Can't do battle on an empty stomach and no rest.
01:04:46Well, amen to that.
01:04:50Fighting and running away from the devils is surely a hungry war.
01:04:54Jules, what are you thinking?
01:04:56Um, you said J. James, he lost a part of himself in the veil, and then Eleanor went there by herself to climb it back and got stuck there?
01:05:09Jules, what are you getting at?
01:05:12Perhaps there is a way how we can save them both.
01:05:15There was just one room that wasn't available, and yet it got shifted back to our reality.
01:05:22Eleanor's room.
01:05:24Yes, and what about it?
01:05:27Let's go back to the veil!
01:05:29I think I know where we can find Eleanor and we can save your brother.
01:05:33First, you all have to take some rest and freshen up.
01:05:38The rescue can wait. They are not going anywhere.
01:05:44James is tied to the veil.
01:05:47His body remains here, but part of him has merged with evil.
01:05:53If you want to bring him back, you'll have to sever that connection.
01:05:56Which means going back. How do you even find him in that place?
01:06:01The veil shifts, but its heart remains constant.
01:06:07You'll find James there.
01:06:10This will guide you to him.
01:06:14But be warned, the veil will fight harder this time, because it knows you're coming to undo its grip.
01:06:22I'm not afraid. I'm getting my brother back.
01:06:27Together.
01:06:34Eleanor wrote about James. She said part of him was left behind when the evil first took him.
01:06:40His memories. His essence. It's still there.
01:06:45If he's connected to the veil, then shouldn't destroying it free him?
01:06:51Not if the evil bound him willingly. His essence feeds it.
01:06:56That's why he's the key to breaking the cycle.
01:07:00Then we find him. If there's a way to bring him back, we'll figure it out.
01:07:06James is waiting. But so am I.
01:07:17This place is worse than I remember. It's like it's waiting for us.
01:07:23Mm-hmm. All for Nina.
01:07:26James is here. I can feel it.
01:07:30Nina.
01:07:31Did you hear that?
01:07:37James? James! It's me! Can you hear me?
01:07:41Nina, you shouldn't be here. It's not safe.
01:07:47Juan, he's coming for you.
01:07:48Wait, James! Don't go!
01:07:49Juan, he's coming for you!
01:07:52Find him in the heart.
01:07:57The heart? That's where he is.
01:08:01The heart is at the core of the veil.
01:08:06If James is tied to it, separating him won't be easy.
01:08:12Nothing about this has ever been easy.
01:08:15Guys, we need to figure out a plan before taking him out.
01:08:19That thing in the shadow wouldn't let us just take him like that.
01:08:21James, stay with me! Don't let it take you!
01:08:32I'm trying, but the veil is too strong.
01:08:35Nina! You have to do something! Pull him out!
01:08:38We can't just hold the devil back forever!
01:08:39She can't do it alone.
01:08:42You all must focus. The veil feeds on division.
01:08:48Only unity can break and separate them.
01:08:51Nina, I don't know if I can. The veil is part of me now.
01:09:07It's not enough. Part of me is still here.
01:09:14You have done enough for me.
01:09:17No! We can figure this out! We just need more time!
01:09:21There has to be another way to fix this! I am not leaving you here like this!
01:09:25It's too late. If I leave, I will die.
01:09:30There's no way that's it. Everything has a solution. We've been through so much before.
01:09:37The veil is unyielding. To exist outside of it, James would need to sever himself completely.
01:09:46But he feeds on the energy. Without it, he won't survive.
01:09:53I don't care what it takes to fix this. You deserve to come home.
01:09:58I can feel your love. That's enough for me.
01:10:03If we stay here any longer, the veil might trap all of us. We have to go, Nina!
01:10:09She's right. James wouldn't want us to risk our lives. That's not what he'd want for us.
01:10:14No, James! I can't leave you again! Not like this!
01:10:17You are not losing me. I will always be with you in here.
01:10:23Nina, we have to go. The veil is not going to wait.
01:10:27And I will never stop watching you, little bird.
01:10:31Little bird.
01:10:35Move! The veil is closing in!
01:10:39We made it out. Barely.
01:10:41He's safe now, in his own way. He's still gone and I couldn't save him.
01:10:49You gave him peace, Nina. Which is more than the veil ever offered him.
01:10:55Good-bye, James. I'll never forget you.
01:11:04You gave him peace, Nina, which is more than the veil ever offered him.
01:11:11Good-bye, James. I'll never forget you.
01:11:22Open the portal!
01:11:25It's starting. We have to do this now.
01:11:35Well, I just hope it works.
01:11:38Focus. Think about why we're here. What are we fighting for?
01:11:47You think your success will help you defeat me? You cannot end me. You belong to me.
01:11:54We belong to no one. This ends now.
01:12:02Don't stop. Keep going.
01:12:20That's it. The heart of the veil.
01:12:24They've done it.
01:12:31But the veil won't give up without a fight.
01:12:36Guys, we can't hold off the evil forever.
01:12:53The veil's core is weakening. Its heart is its anchor. If you destroy it, it will collapse. You have to act fast!
01:13:04What happens to Eleanor and James if we do?
01:13:06She will be freed from this evil. As will James.
01:13:12Let's finish this.
01:13:14You cannot escape. You cannot bring the cypher.
01:13:18Yes, we can!
01:13:24Run! Get to Eleanor's room! Its the only safe place!
01:13:27Let's go!
01:13:42And Eleanor?
01:13:43Nila, sweetheart. You're here.
01:13:46You've done so much.
01:13:51And the strength of the veil is weakening.
01:13:56Wait, we need to get you out of here. The veil is collapsing.
01:13:59I can't leave. I cannot leave just yet. I'm still held back by the darkness of the veil.
01:14:05Then how do we break it for good?
01:14:07Then how do we break it for good?
01:14:08The anchor must be severed completely. But for that, we must come together.
01:14:13We'll do it! Together!
01:14:16Let's end this!
01:14:26We cannot destroy him. I am.
01:14:29Not anymore!
01:14:32It's... gone. The veil is gone.
01:14:54You've done it! You've broken the cycle! The veil is no more!
01:14:59The past has been severed. You are free.
01:15:03We couldn't have done it without you, Aunt Eleanor!
01:15:07Aunt Eleanor!
01:15:11We did it. It's finally over.
01:15:16It's... peaceful, but it's a little bit empty somehow.
01:15:20We've done so much. And now? Now what?
01:15:27Now we just move on and leave all this behind.
01:15:31Now we rebuild. We take what we've learned and we move forward. For Eleanor's sake, if nothing else.
01:15:38There's nothing else.
01:15:41What about you? What happens to you?
01:15:43My time here is done.
01:15:46Eleanor's legacy is complete. This house is no longer a prison. It's free. As are all of you.
01:15:55But remember, Eleanor's legacy was never about ending the cycle. It was about giving you the chance to live beyond it.
01:16:05The chance to live beyond it.
01:16:07We'll live. We'll make sure it wasn't all for nothing.
01:16:11You freed this place and yourselves. Eleanor would be proud.
01:16:16She was so close. If she just had more time...
01:16:29She left us a legacy. She left us the tools to finish what she started.
01:16:37I know. But if we've been here sooner, maybe we'll just save her from...
01:16:42She made her choice, Laila. Just like we made ours. We cannot change the past. But we can live our honor from now.
01:16:54You're right. We have our own path is now.
01:17:07We made it through. But what comes next?
01:17:12Let's see where it takes us.
01:17:38Everything is different now. No more shifting spaces. And no more feelings like we're in some endless nightmare.
01:17:50It feels like the weight of the world has lifted off our shoulders.
01:17:54You've broken the cycle, but at great expense.
01:17:59Eleanor gave everything she had to try to set you free.
01:18:03And in the end, you did what she couldn't.
01:18:06You ended the Vale reign over this place.
01:18:09We found peace. It wasn't easy, but we did it.
01:18:14So we can just continue the way with the knowledge that we've gained.
01:18:20Rest is up to us.
01:18:21This is where we part ways, I guess.
01:18:28It doesn't have to be. We can visit.
01:18:33We'll always have this place as a part of our story.
01:18:39And the mystery of the end will live in our memories forever.
01:18:45Maybe it's time to make new stories.
01:18:48Maybe this will always be a reminder.
01:19:03Even when shadows envelop us, there is always light to dispel the shadows.
01:19:08It was about truth, not the kind that gets published or reported, but the kind that sets you free.
01:19:21And we will not be able to do it.
01:19:22It's all there.
01:19:23It was about truth, but with all other things, I can get to the point of all those things.
01:19:26She gave me the keys to understanding.
01:19:29And in return, I'll live with her sacrifice.
01:19:33And live well.
01:19:34I spent years trying to make sense of the darkness, but I have learned the darkness
01:19:46isn't always evil.
01:19:49Sometimes they are reflections.
01:19:52It's easier to create when you understand the light.
01:19:56And now I can.
01:20:03This place gave me the strength to find myself again.
01:20:06The veil is no more.
01:20:08Time for new beginnings.
01:20:11This is more than a hotel.
01:20:13It's a home.
01:20:14A safe place.
