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.
00:03:47Miss Grayson?
00:03:57Is that you?
00:03:58Okay, definitely not creepy at all.
00:04:28Rooms 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?
00:05:36Like, 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?
00:05:51It all has to be for a reason.
00:05:55Maybe she wanted us to find something?
00:06:01The inn has secrets, some of which are better left undisturbed.
00:06:18What was Eleanor hiding?
00:06:27Did you say something?
00:06:29Um, no, no nothing.
00:06:33Um, let's go downstairs.
00:06:35I will use the fireplace as warmth.
00:06:37Sure.
00:06:38Coming, Nina?
00:06:40Uh, you guys go ahead.
00:06:41I'll come by later.
00:06:43Let's walk this place up.
00:06:54You don't just leave it into a stranger's, unless there's something you wanted to find.
00:07:13What do we have here?
00:07:30The veil binds us all.
00:07:32Time 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?
00:08:03We don't need to like each other.
00:08:05We just need to survive for three weeks.
00:08:07Survive?
00:08:08What do you mean survive?
00:08:09You make it sound like we're in danger.
00:08:12She's not wrong.
00:08:14There is something off about this place, the way the air feels.
00:08:19Don't pretend like you haven't noticed.
00:08:22People did disappear here sometimes in the past.
00:08:25Come on, Alex, don't let the atmosphere get to you.
00:08:29Oh, maybe.
00:08:31Or maybe we should be paying attention to the things that feels weird before it's too
00:08:35late.
00:08:36Danger doesn't always come from outside, Miss Winters.
00:08:41Are 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.
00:08:55The walls speak if you listen.
00:09:05Truth lies in silence.
00:09:09What kind of games are you playing here?
00:09:10What kind of games are you playing here?
00:09:11What kind of games are you playing here?
00:09:12What kind of games are you playing here?
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.
00:09:51I'm sorry.
00:09:52It's ok.
00:09:53Please jump eight dah kör.
00:09:54In a lama whom I get the back of silence.
00:09:55You look gay.
00:09:58Go!
00:11:21Lovely, isn't it?
00:11:24You shouldn't be here.
00:11:28I... I just got lost exploring the place.
00:11:31Jules, 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.
00:11:50I'm just adjusting to the cult, I guess.
00:11:55Or maybe it's Eleanor's idea of crazy social experiment.
00:12:00Or maybe she just wanted us to drive each other crazy.
00:12:04I think...
00:12:18Yeah.
00:12:19Yeah.
00:12:19Yeah.
00:12:19Yeah.
00:12:20Yeah.
00:12:21Where's that room?
00:12:44I'm sure it was that way.
00:12:51Do 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.
00:13:20I'm starting to not like her.
00:13:26You and me?
00:13:27Both.
00:13:29I'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.
00:13:47Can I help you with something?
00:13:50I'm looking for a room with a painting.
00:13:53A large painting.
00:13:55I 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?
00:14:08Like it switches space?
00:14:11Maybe.
00:14:20Oh, here comes the loner.
00:14:26Haven't seen you all day.
00:14:27What have you been up to?
00:14:28You look worn out.
00:14:29You sleep much?
00:14:31I...
00:14:33It...
00:14:35It must be the weather.
00:14:50It's strange.
00:14:57I can see my mascots.
00:14:58You go to...
00:15:02Who's there?
00:15:04Was this place always like this?
00:15:07It's strange.
00:15:09Why was this place always like this?
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.
00:16:39Can you keep secrets?
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 posture 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?
00:17:37I mean, besides all the usual creepy things that are happening.
00:17:42Um, you'll have to be a bit more specific.
00:17:44This place is practically a shrine to strange.
00:17:49Eleanor's room.
00:17:50I think it's moving.
00:17:52Eleanor'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.
00:18:02I 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.
00:18:12It 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?
00:18:32May 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.
00:18:45Exactly.
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.
00:19:07I found this there.
00:19:11Let's see what else we can find.
00:19:17Are you ready?
00:19:19Yes.
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?
00:19:32I don't know.
00:19:33I don't know.
00:19:37Come on.
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.
00:19:51If 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?
00:20:01I'm in.
00:20:02Let's go before I change my mind.
00:20:10There it is.
00:20:11Okay, after you, brave explorer.
00:20:17Okay.
00:20:17After you, brave explorer.
00:20:41This portrait is really creepy, right?
00:20:45Why does it feel she's watching us?
00:20:49Maybe she is.
00:20:54Do you feel that?
00:20:56The temperature drop?
00:20:59Yeah.
00:21:00Something's wrong.
00:21:02Tell me that's not moving.
00:21:03It wasn't like that before.
00:21:09Should we try opening it?
00:21:14We've come this far.
00:21:17Okay.
00:21:33Alex, it's not safe here.
00:21:36No!
00:21:43Okay.
00:21:44Next time, remind me not to volunteer for creepy room day.
00:21:48That trunk, it's hiding something.
00:21:52We'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, maybe 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.
00:22:31There should be somewhere around here.
00:22:36Maybe...
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.
00:22:53Oh, my God.
00:23:19The whispers, they were louder this time, like they wanted us to hear them.
00:23:39The cycle must end.
00:23:40What does that even mean?
00:23:42And why do we keep hearing it?
00:23:45Everything is tied up to the trunk. The box, the diary, everything is in Eleanor's room.
00:23:51So 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.
00:24:03Look at the symbols. They match the diagrams from the dialogue.
00:24:08This box needs a key to open.
00:24:11A key? Jules, the key! The key you found earlier!
00:24:15This is odd.
00:24:35What's...
00:24:38Look at these photographs!
00:24:45There must be a receipt.
00:24:47No. It's authentic alright.
00:24:51Guys, you're not going to believe this.
00:24:55Authorities are baffled as four individuals mysteriously disappeared from Frostwood Inn.
00:25:03Curses were last seen entering the primes.
00:25:07But no signs of struggle or departure has been found.
00:25:10Local whispers of the inn's dark reputation.
00:25:13Fueling 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. Eleanor didn't just pick up us by accident. The picture says it all.
00:25:41I mean, we're not just some random strangers. It proves...
00:25:45It proves nothing! 50 years ago, I wasn't even born! And somehow I ended up in a photograph with my aunt?
00:25:51We can't deny the photograph, Nina.
00:25:54We're also confused. But I agree with Laila. We are not chosen at random.
00:26:00We all have our own role to play. And it's our duty to find out which ones.
00:26:07Time is in the straight line we thought it was.
00:26:10I mean, Eleanor somehow chose us to be here at this moment.
00:26:17Eleanor never said she knew us before we were born.
00:26:20This is all confusing. But at least we found something. Why don't we just start here?
00:26:32My, my. The past doesn't like to be disturbed.
00:26:37Enough with this cryptic nonsense! What does this mean?
00:26:40It means you've walked into a time trap.
00:26:44Guys, this is incredible. They're not just journal entries.
00:26:48They're more like research. Like she was piecing the secrets of the house together.
00:26:55Can anyone make sense of this? I'm hitting the wall with these symbols and diagrams.
00:27:00They're not exactly on the floor.
00:27:07The symbols. They're references to alchemy and ancient ceiling. Rituals. And look here. This diagram matches the layout of the inn.
00:27:17Why did she write all of this and left it behind?
00:27:21Maybe she wanted somebody to find this. Somebody who could end what she started.
00:27:27The veil must hold or the shadows will consume. The heart of the house is key.
00:27:34Found by time and intent.
00:27:36The heart of the house. She means the source of all of this. The thing we need to destroy.
00:27:43The symbol is repeated everywhere. It has to mean something. Maybe it's the anchor of the whale.
00:27:53This man? He's in the locket we found earlier. Who is he?
00:28:01The man Eleanor feared, I think. Or the man who betrayed her.
00:28:06Betrayal? But for me Eleanor didn't seem someone who would trust anyone that much.
00:28:12What if she did trust him? Maybe that's why we're here.
00:28:17Wait.
00:28:18He will come back for what I took. His revenge is inevitable.
00:28:26He was terrified. We're not just dealing with an inheritance. This is personal.
00:28:35This man. He's why we're here. Eleanor thought someone would return.
00:28:40The journal? It mentioned betrayal. What 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!
00:29:16These letters? They are signed by Jay. The man in the photo.
00:29:28These letters. Of Jay's. He wasn't just angry. He was planning something.
00:29:35Why would she keep these hidden? Was she scared he'd come back?
00:29:39Maybe she was. The man. Jay. Maybe he's the one who is watching us.
00:29:49These are not just random thoughts written in the journal. It's warnings.
00:29:53Warnings for what?
00:29:55The journal mentioned betrayal. She warned about the inn itself. About someone returning to take something she had taken. A betrayal. Maybe 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?
00:30:29You've found the truth. But now you've crossed the line. The past won't forgive.
00:30:36Why are we here? It doesn't feel random.
00:30:45Maybe it were the loose ends that Eleanor wanted to tie up. Or whoever that Jay guy is.
00:30:51This is just like Eleanor. She likes toying with people. This could be nothing.
00:30:57What if it's not? What if she was trying to protect us?
00:31:00Perhaps Eleanor was trying to protect herself. But 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. The one who betrayed me seeks to undo what I've built.
00:31:25Who's he? What's his name? It cannot be just Jay.
00:31:30Eleanor wouldn't leave these hints to us if it was that simple.
00:31:34She'd probably want us to find him. Or what he has left for us.
00:31:39And we're all just blindly playing along? For all we know, this Jay could still be around.
00:31:45Then why all these warnings? She must have been terrified.
00:31:50If Eleanor wants us to find something, it's not just her words. It's somewhere over here.
00:32:01Is it just me or did Eleanor keep all her life hidden in puzzles?
00:32:06Hidden in puzzles?
00:32:07That's probably cheaper than a therapy.
00:32:09What was their connection?
00:32:14He was her greatest love. And her greatest disappointment.
00:32:20Oh, so you knew him. Then why don't you try to mention it even once?
00:32:26Some 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?
00:32:59Well, we've already ignored the other ones. Let's see how bad this can get.
00:33:10To 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 scavenger game?
00:33:35Great!
00:33:39So what? She cheated someone out of money? Broke their heart? Why drag us into it?
00:33:43Because 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.
00:34:05Why? What's left to find?
00:34:08The truth. And the one she betrayed.
00:34:13The truth lies beneath the veil of memory.
00:34:18Who's there?
00:34:23The truth.
00:34:25The truth where youogrameszza died.
00:34:29What's that?
00:34:32The truth lies beneath the veil of memory.
00:34:35What about?
00:34:36The two hisler of memory.
00:34:37The truth lies beneath the veil of memory.
00:34:38The truth lies beneath the revenge.
00:34:44What do we see above the yıljresent?
00:34:45To understand the past, you must face the future. Look to where memory fades, and you will see one.
00:34:57Where memory fades...
00:35:00Oh!
00:35:01Alex, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost.
00:35:06Not a ghost. Just a message.
00:35:15This is more than just Eleanor's riddles. Where memories fade? This could be obvious. We are looking for something hidden.
00:35:24I 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?
00:36:06You 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.
00:36:36This, this feels wrong.
00:36:43Guys, 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?
00:37:24Why were you hidden here?
00:37:27Why were you hidden here?
00:37:42Okay. Definitely not creepy at all.
00:37:45We're dead.
00:37:49Shhh, stay quiet.
00:37:51Whoever it is, we don't want them to know we're here.

00:41:20so we've hit the ghost jackpot now some truths are better left buried heavens would it kill you to
00:41:29announce yourself once in a while why should it be hidden what was Eleanor so scared of you are not
00:41:36ready for the truth
00:41:37great more puzzles does Eleanor think we're detectives or something well she did invite us here to clean up her
00:41:52mess to those who follow beware what you're uncover the past holds more than memories it holds
00:42:00it's him it's Eleanor and him again
00:42:08this guy Jay whoever he is he must be the key to all of this
00:42:14who is he and why did Eleanor keep this hidden because she knew what he was capable of she knew he
00:42:25would not stop why not tell us why leave us all the breadcrumbs because she knew you were the only ones who
00:42:33could stop him you know what it's late and I'm tired I'm fucking tired I don't know about you guys but
00:42:43I'm gonna go back take a warm bath to wash out all the soreness and the dust goodnight
00:42:49um excuse me goodnight
00:42:55the veil isn't just a metaphor it's the barrier that keeps him out
00:43:05help who's there
00:43:17help
00:43:25what happened are you okay it talked to me it said we've gone too far
00:43:36he lives between what was and what is the veil is his prison but he's breaking free
00:43:46what is it supposed to mean it means he's waking up
00:43:52Eleanor used to keep him locked away but you're breaking down these walls
00:43:59who who's trying down the walls
00:44:03miss Grayson I think you owe us answers at this point
00:44:10what do you wish to know if this guy is real why hasn't he shown himself
00:44:16he doesn't exist in this plane
00:44:22but I assure you he's as real as you and me
00:44:26you mentioned someone is waking him up who and how
00:44:30the four of you are waking him up
00:44:33he feeds on fear
00:44:37the more you dig
00:44:39the more strong he becomes
00:44:44then where leave us all these clues
00:44:48where lead us to him
00:44:49Eleanor didn't want you to free him
00:44:54she wanted you to stop him
00:44:57great
00:44:58no 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
00:45:33this is the heart of the house
00:45:36this is where we can find him
00:45:38or stop him
00:45:40ok this is insane we're walking straight into his trap
00:45:51do you have a better idea because 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
00:46:10can we stop it with the dramatics already
00:46:15you found it Eleanor's final clue
00:46:19you 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
00:46:30Eleanor trapped him there
00:46:33but the veil is breaking
00:46:35wonderful
00:46:37so yeah we're just gonna walk in
00:46:39and fix our mistakes right
00:46:41Eleanor chose you for a reason
00:46:44you're all connected to him somehow
00:46:47how are we connected
00:46:49think of how you know Eleanor
00:46:52and then
00:46:55you'll be able to figure out what he wants
00:46:58and why he's interested in the four of you
00:47:01you 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
00:47:21an incomplete one
00:47:24you think so?
00:47:25most people just see shadows
00:47:29most people are not paying attention
00:47:32but you are
00:47:34that's what's make your work so different
00:47:38do I know you?
00:47:40you seem familiar
00:47:42perhaps
00:47:44in another time
00:47:46well congratulations on your opening
00:47:51I'll keep an eye on your work
00:47:53art doesn't just reflect the soul
00:48:05it reveals the unseen

00:48:22since its opening
00:48:23tell me
00:48:25what inspired this exhibit?
00:48:28honestly
00:48:28I don't think I fully understand it myself
00:48:32these pieces
00:48:33they just come to me
00:48:36like
00:48:36they are meant to be created
00:48:39rumor has it that
00:48:41this was impossible
00:48:42without an anonymous contributor
00:48:45any idea of who they are?
00:48:47fits me
00:48:47whoever they are
00:48:49they believed in myself
00:48:50more than
00:48:52I believed in myself
00:48:53I wonder if they see the same story in the shadows
00:48:57sorry
00:48:57what was that?
00:48:58no nothing
00:49:00I was just thinking out loud
00:49:08who are you really?
00:49:10Elioner
00:49:12that's a charming place
00:49:21it has an air of curiosity about it
00:49:24that's what I aim for
00:49:26welcome to the curious bookworm
00:49:28can I help you find anything?
00:49:29well I'm actually here to help you
00:49:32I hear you are quite an investigator of various
00:49:36strange phenomena
00:49:38what is this?
00:49:39that's a family estate
00:49:42has a reputation about it
00:49:45I think you'll find it interesting
00:49:47that's
00:49:49incredible but
00:49:51and
00:49:52I leave you for a few minutes
00:49:54and you wander off like that
00:49:55sorry to bother you
00:49:56we're leaving
00:49:57I trust you'll make a good use of it
00:50:00just be careful
00:50:01and where your curiosity leaves you
00:50:03today we are diving into the
00:50:09enigmatic history of
00:50:10Frostbuddin
00:50:12known for its hunting atmosphere
00:50:14and unexplained events
00:50:16this estate has been the subject for local legends
00:50:19for decades
00:50:20hey 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?
00:50:41I don't
00:50:43but
00:50:44Frostbuddin has had strange happenings
00:50:47but they can all be explained rationally
00:50:48that's all
00:50:57you've been running your whole life Ninam
00:51:10you can't just keep running
00:51:13I'm not running
00:51:15I'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?
00:51:26sounds more like a burden not a legacy
00:51:29you have no idea what Frostbuddin is holding
00:51:34this is not just an inn
00:51:36this is about who we are
00:51:38and one day you will understand
00:51:41if it's so important to you
00:51:42why 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?
00:51:50for now just listen
00:51:52and when the time comes
00:51:54you will know what to do
00:51:59you should know better than to wander off Ant
00:52:01library had nothing much about Frostbuddin
00:52:03well sometimes you need to go elsewhere
00:52:05to 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
00:52:20legends of Frostbuddin 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?
00:52:34hey i've been listening to your podcast
00:52:43wow i'm flattered
00:52:46don'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
00:52:53my 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
00:53:03she's good at being cryptic
00:53:05do you think there's anything real behind all this?
00:53:08i think it's worth looking to it
00:53:10i mean if she's right you might be a key to understanding it
00:53:16i'm not so sure i want to understand this
00:53:23the Frostbuddin is more than just an old building
00:53:39it's a mystery
00:53:40woven into the fabric of our town
00:53:43a place where stories seem to go to hide
00:53:45and people sometimes vanish altogether
00:53:48some call it cursed others a masterpiece of misfortune
00:53:54but the question remains
00:53:56what is Frostbud 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
00:54:17four people disappeared near that end 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 Frostbuddin 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 moving back to the story
00:54:56gee where are you mr j
00:55:00the faint whisper of j 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 she said that he would come whenever is the time
00:55:19what if he's not just someone from her past
00:55:23what if he's been here all along
00:55:25or what if
00:55:29he's the one that we have been interacting
00:55:32whole time but we didn't even realize
00:55:35i see you're trying to find the identity of j
00:55:40why don't you tell us more about him
00:55:44was he an enemy of a friend
00:55:47eleanor trusted j
00:55:49because 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
00:55:59j wasn't a stranger he was
00:56:02or is one of you
00:56:04what do you mean one of us
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
00:56:20j was your connection to the veil
00:56:23but he became part of the shadow
00:56:26he was trapped in the earthreal plane
00:56:29with eleanor
00:56:30his identity was lost his memory wiped
00:56:35until all of you returned
00:56:39so j has been here all the time
00:56:44yes j is the missing piece
00:56:47the key to the cycle
00:56:50he was tied to the veil
00:56:54just like you all were
00:56:55he wasn't fortunate enough
00:57:00to come out
00:57:02whole
00:57:03like you back then
00:57:06whole
00:57:07what do you mean whole
00:57:11j was none other than james your brother nina
00:57:19james my brother
00:57:22but but he's been in a wheelchair for as long as i can remember
00:57:26the last time you were together
00:57:28he got lost in the veil and he sacrificed part of himself
00:57:32so that you could all get out
00:57:36Eleanor went back to try to get the peace that he had left behind
00:57:42so that he could be whole again
00:57:44but she discovered the shadow merged with him
00:57:47in essence he became that which you were trying to escape
00:58:01this map was Eleanor's last attempt to escape the veil
00:58:05she believes the end spaces shift
00:58:08mirroring their counterparts in the veil
00:58:11therefore
00:58:13for instance becomes a heart
00:58:18how about other rooms
00:58:20like boarding rooms
00:58:23they become manifestations of the veil's power
00:58:26each one feeding evil
00:58:28so
00:58:29so 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
00:58:37this is how Eleanor went in
00:58:39and how you will follow her
00:58:41so what if we can't come back
00:58:45then the veil will claim you
00:58:47then let's do this
00:58:49we've come too far to back out now
00:58:50worlds 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
00:59:20step through
00:59:21together
00:59:35don't let us get lost
00:59:37you are stronger than the evil
00:59:39trust each other
00:59:50this this is the veil
00:59:55it looks
00:59:57warped
00:59:58it's not just warped
01:00:00it's wrong
01:00:01look at the walls
01:00:02they're breathing
01:00:05look at this place
01:00:07stick together
01:00:08we don't know what's real here
01:00:11you've come back
01:00:12the cycle begins
01:00:15this place
01:00:16it's alive
01:00:17alive
01:00:18alive and watching this
01:00:21careful
01:00:22please don't go anywhere
01:00:24and don't go separated
01:00:25because if this place
01:00:27shifts we can lose each other
01:00:29right we stick together
01:00:31no matter what
01:00:47it's a marking
01:00:51Eleanor must have left it behind
01:00:54what does it mean
01:00:55is it part of the map
01:00:56it's like a sigil
01:00:59she'd probably try to
01:01:01contain something here or
01:01:03come back here
01:01:05or maybe
01:01:06it's protecting us
01:01:08or maybe it's protecting something else
01:01:11could you please see if there is anything under it
01:01:14it
01:01:16wait
01:01:17what is that
01:01:19it's like a compass
01:01:22it's pointing somewhere
01:01:24looks like
01:01:25that's where we're going to
01:01:27wait
01:01:27what if it's leading us into a trap
01:01:30doesn't matter
01:01:31if we want to find Eleanor
01:01:33we're gonna take the risk
01:01:35let'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
01:01:56so there has to be something we can find
01:02:00this markings
01:02:01it's similar to those in Eleanor's diary
01:02:04in her journal she said
01:02:06the veil imprints itself on the space it consumes
01:02:10great so are we walking in that whale's stomach
01:02:13stay close
01:02:16don't let the voice mess your mind
01:02:18the compass
01:02:19the compass
01:02:20it'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
01:02:29use your lights
01:02:30it 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
01:03:08there 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
01:03:27you can go far without any of this
01:03:29james
01:03:30i am but i am not
01:03:33yes
01:03:34yes
01:03:36that 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
01:03:48so we have the fragments now
01:04:13what now
01:04:15how do you use this to end the veil
01:04:18well elnor said that fragments must be combined at the heart of the wheel
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
01:04:33because 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
01:04:43and focus
01:04:44great trust and focus
01:04:46no pressure
01:04:49can't do battle on an empty stomach and no rest
01:04:52well amen to that
01:04:56fighting and running away from the devils is surely a hungry war
01:05:00jules what are you thinking
01:05:02um
01:05:03you said j james
01:05:07he lost a part of himself in the veil and then elianer went there by herself to claim it back
01:05:13and 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
01:05:24and 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
01:05:57if 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
01:06:13you'll find james there
01:06:14this will guide you to him
01:06:20but be warned
01:06:22the veil will fight harder this time because it knows you're coming to undo its grip
01:06:27i'm not afraid i'm getting my brother back
01:06:33together
01:06:39elena wrote about james she said part of him was left behind when the evil first took him
01:06:46his memories
01:06:46his essence
01:06:48it's still there
01:06:51if he's connected to the veil
01:06:53then 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
01:07:04to breaking the cycle
01:07:06then we find him if there's a way to bring him back we'll figure it out
01:07:11james waiting but so am i
01:07:14this place is worse than i remember it's like it's waiting for us
01:07:30all for nina james is here i can feel it
01:07:36nina did you hear that
01:07:37james james james it's me can you hear me
01:07:46nina you shouldn't be here it's not safe
01:07:52one is coming for you wait james don't go
01:07:55one is coming for you find him in the heart
01:08:02the heart that's where he is
01:08:07the 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
01:08:20guys 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
01:08:26james stay with me don't let it take you i'm trying but the veil is too strong
01:08:40nina you have to do something pull him out we 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
01:08:55and separate them
01:09:08nina i don't know if i can the veil is part of me now
01:09:13it'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
01:09:32it's too late if i leave i will die
01:09:35there's no way that's it everything has a solution we've been through so much before
01:09:42the veil is unyielding
01:09:45to 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
01:10:02i 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 she'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
01:10:22you are not losing me i will always be with you in here nina we have to go the veil is not going to
01:10:32wait and i will never stop watching you little bird
01:10:41move the veil is closing in
01:10:52we made it out barely he's safe now in his own way
01:11:03he's still gone and i could save him
01:11:10you gave him peace nina which is more than the veil ever offered him
01:11:18goodbye james i'll never forget you
01:11:22open the portal
01:11:37it's starting we have to do this now well i just hope it works
01:11:44focus think about why we're here what are we fighting for
01:11:53you think your success will help you defeat me you cannot end me you belong to me
01:12:01we belong to no one this ends now
01:12:05we belong to no one this ends now
01:12:08don't stop keep going
01:12:26that's it the heart of the veil
01:12:35they've done it
01:12:39but the veil won't give up without a fight
01:12:48guys 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 she will be freed from this evil
01:13:15as well as will james let's finish this you 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 elinor
01:13:48and elinor
01:13:49nina sweetheart you're here
01:13:55you've done so much
01:13:57and the strength of the of the veil is weak
01:14:01wait we need to get you out of here the veil is collapsing
01:14:05i can't leave
01:14:07i 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 we'll do it together
01:14:22let's end this
01:14:23not anymore
01:14:42it's gone
01:14:44you'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
01:15:08we 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
01:15:29and now
01:15:31now what
01:15:33now we just move on and leave all this behind
01:15:37now we rebuild
01:15:38we take what we've learned and we move forward
01:15:41for eleanor's sake
01:15:43if nothing else
01:15:46what about you
01:15:47what happens to you
01:15:50my 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
01:16:02but remember
01:16:03eleanor's legacy was never about
01:16:07ending the cycle
01:16:08it was about giving you
01:16:10the chance to live beyond it
01:16:13we'll live
01:16:14we'll make sure it wasn't all for nothing
01:16:17you freed this place and yourselves
01:16:20eleanor would be proud
01:16:26she was so close
01:16:28if she just had more time
01:16:34she left us a legacy
01:16:35she left us the tools
01:16:38to finish what she started
01:16:42i know
01:16:43but
01:16:44if we've been here sooner maybe we'll just save her from
01:16:48she made her choice
01:16:50lila
01:16:51just like we made ours
01:16:53we cannot change the past
01:16:56but we can live our honor from now
01:17:00you're right
01:17:01we have our own path is now
01:17:05you
01:17:12we made it through
01:17:15but what comes next
01:17:19you
01:17:35Let's see where it takes us.
01:17:47Everything is different now.
01:17:49No more shifting spaces.
01:17:52And no more feelings like we're in some endless nightmare.
01:17:56It feels like the weight of the world has lifted off our shoulders.
01:18:00You've broken the cycle, but at great expense.
01:18:03Elinor gave everything she had to try to set you free.
01:18:08And in the end, you did what she couldn't.
01:18:11You ended the vale reign over this place.
01:18:15We found peace.
01:18:17It wasn't easy, but we did it.
01:18:20So we can just continue the way with the knowledge that we've gained.
01:18:26Rest is up to us.
01:18:27This is where we part ways, I guess.
01:18:36It doesn't have to be.
01:18:38We 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.
01:18:50Maybe it's time to make new stories.
01:18:53Maybe this will always be a reminder.
01:19:09Even when shadows envelop us, there is always light to dispel the shadows.
01:19:14It was about truth.
01:19:21Not the kind that gets published or reported, but the kind that sets you free.
01:19:31She gave me the keys to understanding.
01:19:34And in return, I'll live with her sacrifice and live well.
01:19:39I spent years trying to make sense of the darkness.
01:19:49But I've learned the darkness isn't always evil.
01:19:53Sometimes they are reflections.
01:19:57It's easier to create when you understand the light.
01:20:01And now I can.
01:20:02This place gave me the strength to find myself again.
01:20:11The veil is no more.
01:20:13Time for new beginnings.
01:20:15This is more than a hotel.
01:20:18It's a home.
01:20:19A safe place.
01:20:20It's a home.
01:20:21It's a home.
01:20:21It's a home.
01:20:21It's a home.
01:20:21It's a home.
01:20:22It's a home.
01:20:22It's a home.
01:20:23It's a home.
01:20:23It's a home.
01:20:24It's a home.
01:20:24It's a home.
01:20:25It's a home.
01:20:25It's a home.
01:20:26It's a home.
01:20:26It's a home.
01:20:26It's a home.
01:20:27It's a home.
01:20:27It's a home.
01:20:28It's a home.
01:20:29It's a home.
01:20:29It's a home.
01:20:30It's a home.
01:20:30It's a home.
01:20:31It's a home.
01:20:31It's a home.
01:20:32It's a home.
01:20:33It's a home.
01:20:33It's a home.
01:20:34It's a home.
01:20:35It's a home.
01:20:36It's a home.
