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