00:00:00You're cordially invited to the reading of Eleanor Winters' will.
00:00:05Come in before the storm swallows you whole.
00:00:08I guess we are all here for the same reason?
00:00:12Danger doesn't always come from outside, Miss Winters.
00:00:18She's dead and we're stuck here. I just want my share in to leave.
00:00:27I don't think it's a ghost.
00:00:29It's best to stay in your room at night.
00:00:36Okay. Definitely not creepy at all.
00:00:40Help!
00:00:42Who's there?
00:00:45You have been saying cryptic shit all this time. What do you know?

00:00:52This place, it's alive.
00:00:54You're cordially invited to the reading of Eleanor Winters' will.
00:01:12Attendance is required for consideration of inheritance.
00:01:16Frostwood Inn.
00:01:19Why would Eleanor choose me?
00:01:24A free trip to the middle of nowhere.
00:01:27Must be my lucky day.
00:01:28Frostwood Inn.
00:01:29Frostwood Inn.
00:01:30Imitation?
00:01:31Hmm.
00:01:32Interesting.
00:01:33Maybe I'll find some inspiration there.
00:01:35Oh, Aunt Eleanor, you never stop chasing ghosts.
00:01:47You're the first to arrive.
00:01:48Come in before the storm swallows you whole.

00:04:25miss Grayson
00:04:53is that you
00:04:56okay definitely not creepy at all
00:05:17rooms shift shadows move the inn hides its truth behind wheels
00:05:35this place doesn't feel alive it feels watchful
00:05:45let's hope that morning brings us the answers
00:05:49I don't know winters leaves Frostwood Inn to the four of you
00:05:58provides you reside here together for three weeks
00:06:04three weeks in this old place with strangers
00:06:07it's a small price to pay for an inn like this
00:06:11we're right says the woman who probably brought a Wi-Fi router and if you live
00:06:18before them you shall forfeit the inheritance
00:06:21three weeks isn't that long if we can work together we could change our lives
00:06:33change our lives how like what's the catch
00:06:37the catch is we're here because Eleanor wanted to watch us scorn I'm sure this is some reality TV show or prank or something
00:06:46maybe but why yes it all has to be for a reason maybe she wanted us to find something
00:06:58the inn has secrets some of which are better left undisturbed
00:07:05what was Eleanor hiding
00:07:24did you say something
00:07:28um no no nothing um let's go downstairs
00:07:34oh to use the fireplace is warm
00:07:36sure coming in
00:07:39uh you guys go ahead I'll come by later
00:07:43okay
00:07:46let's vault this place up
00:07:52you don't just leave it into a stranger's unless there's something you wanted to
00:08:07find
00:08:09what do we have here
00:08:30the veil binds us all time twists and the voices echo where the light cannot reach
00:08:38this is Eleanor's it has to be but what does any of it mean
00:09:04we don't need to like each other we just need to survive for three weeks
00:09:08survive what do you mean survive make it sound like we're in danger
00:09:13she's not wrong
00:09:15there is something off about this place the way the air feels
00:09:20don't pretend like you haven't noticed
00:09:23people did disappear here sometimes in the past
00:09:26come on Alex don't let the atmosphere get to you
00:09:30well maybe or maybe you should be paying attention to the things that feels weird
00:09:35before it's too late
00:09:38danger doesn't always come from outside miss winters
00:09:42are you saying the danger's inside
00:09:48what kind of games are you playing here mrs grayson
00:09:51games have rules miss carter
00:09:54this house does not
00:10:01the walls speak if you listen truth lies in silence
00:10:09let's face it Eleanor chose us for a reason
00:10:15what's everyone hiding
00:10:17why does it matter she's dead and we're stuck here I just want my share in to leave
00:10:22well actually I found something and there is reading something about listening to the walls
00:10:28so maybe we can see if there is something more that we can realize
00:10:33you think she left clues for us why
00:10:46the end doesn't take kindly to curiosity remember it killed the cat
00:10:58oh
00:11:28I don't know.
00:11:58I don't know.
00:12:28I just got lost exploring the place.
00:12:33Jules?
00:12:38No.
00:12:39You seem jittery.
00:12:45Have you found anything interesting?
00:12:48Jittery?
00:12:49Me?
00:12:50No.
00:12:51You must be mistaken.
00:12:53I'm just adjusting to the cult, I guess.
00:12:57Or maybe it's Eleanor's idea of crazy social experiments.
00:13:02Or maybe she just wanted us to drive each other crazy.
00:13:06I don't know.
00:13:07I don't know.
00:13:08I don't know.
00:13:09I'm losing.
00:13:11I don't know.
00:13:16I don't know what you're doing.
00:13:20No.
00:13:23Where is that room?
00:13:46I'm sure it was that way.
00:13:53Do you hear sounds at night, like whispers?
00:14:03Maybe.
00:14:04Why?
00:14:05Because I think the inn is trying to tell us something.
00:14:15Some whispers are best ignored.
00:14:18They are but figments of your imagination.
00:14:27I'm starting to not like her.
00:14:29You and me?
00:14:30Both.
00:14:31I'm sure I wasn't dreaming.
00:14:44I trotted the whole place and I still can't find the painting.
00:14:48Good afternoon.
00:14:50Can I help you with something?
00:14:53I'm looking for a room with a painting, a large painting.
00:14:57I tried looking for it but I can't seem to find it.
00:15:02This inn tends to shift about.
00:15:06It only lets you see what it wants you to see.
00:15:10What do you mean?
00:15:11Oh!
00:15:27Here comes the loner.
00:15:28Haven't seen you all day, what have you been up to?
00:15:31You look worn out.
00:15:32You sleep much?
00:15:33I...
00:15:34I...
00:15:35It...
00:15:36It must be the weather.
00:16:03It...
00:16:06Who's there?
00:16:08Was this place always like this?
00:16:11Strange.
00:17:03Good morning.
00:17:13You're up early.
00:17:16I couldn't sleep much last night.
00:17:19Yeah, me neither.
00:17:22I don't know how you feel, but this place, it gives me creeps.
00:17:27If I could, I would have left long ago.
00:17:30Say no more.
00:17:31I have the same feeling.
00:17:33This house is so strange.
00:17:34It's giving me creeps.
00:17:36And actually, Eleanor was too much loony towards the end.
00:17:42Check this out.
00:17:48Can you keep secrets?
00:17:50So last night, I stumbled upon this random room.
00:17:57It was like much bigger than my room, but in the room, there was a huge posture of Eleanor.
00:18:02And in that room, there was a huge trunk, and I think maybe there's some of Eleanor's stuff inside.
00:18:14Do you want to check it out with me?
00:18:16Sorry to disturb you, lovebirds.
00:18:25What's for breakfast?
00:18:28Damn the storm.
00:18:29Killing all the lights just like that.
00:18:32I wonder how long this blackout will last.
00:18:35What's wrong?
00:18:36Have you noticed anything strange about this inn?
00:18:42I mean, besides all the usual creepy things that are happening.
00:18:47Um, you'll have to be a bit more specific.
00:18:49This place is practically a shrine to strange.
00:18:54Eleanor's room.
00:18:56I think it's moving.
00:18:59Eleanor's room?
00:18:59This inn doesn't have a master's bedroom?
00:19:02I used to come up here for holidays, and I've never heard of a master's bedroom.
00:19:06It does.
00:19:07I found it earlier, and when I went back, it was gone.
00:19:11Like, completely.
00:19:13The house, the room, doesn't want to be found.
00:19:18It moves?
00:19:19Like, shifts around the house?
00:19:22That's ridiculous.
00:19:23Where exactly did you find this room?
00:19:25Down the halfway, at the end.
00:19:29This inn always had a left and right wings upstairs, but there is no middle wing.
00:19:37What?
00:19:38May I?
00:19:42Rooms that don't stay in place.
00:19:44Scary sounds that echo the spaces.
00:19:47The house rearranges itself to guard its secrets.
00:19:50Exactly!
00:19:52Eleanor's bedroom isn't just a bedroom.
00:19:55It's hiding something.
00:19:57And I'm sure it's tied up to the heart of all those creepy things that are happening.
00:20:05I found this there.
00:20:17Let's see what else we can find.
00:20:23Are you ready?
00:20:24Yes, where's the room?
00:20:28It's there, around the hallway.
00:20:30Something about it feels off.
00:20:33Off?
00:20:34Like, hunt it off?
00:20:36Or, we're losing it off?
00:20:39I don't know.
00:20:43Come on.
00:20:44Well, great.
00:20:51Let's poke around in some creepy room.
00:20:54With the ominous trunk.
00:20:56That's such a good idea.
00:20:58If there's anything...
00:20:59Any answer, that's what's happening in here.
00:21:03It has to be in that room.
00:21:05Are you in?
00:21:07I'm in.
00:21:08Let's go before I change my mind.
00:21:10There it is.
00:21:18Okay.
00:21:21After you, brave explorer.
00:21:23Okay.
00:21:23After you, brave explorer.
00:21:40This portrait is really creepy, right?
00:21:52Why does it feel she's watching us?
00:21:55Maybe she is.
00:22:00Do you feel that?
00:22:03It's a temperature drop.
00:22:05Yeah.
00:22:06Something's wrong.
00:22:07Tell me that's not moving.
00:22:12It wasn't like that before.
00:22:15Should we try opening it?
00:22:21We've come this far.
00:22:23Okay.
00:22:37Next time, remind me not to volunteer for Creepy Room Day.
00:22:55That trunk.
00:22:56It's hiding something.
00:22:58We're going to have to go back there.
00:23:00The space shifts.
00:23:07What was the hallway is now a staircase.
00:23:09What was my room yesterday is a parlor today.
00:23:12But the whispers lead the way.
00:23:17This has to be it.
00:23:18At the nurse's room.
00:23:21If the space shifts, maybe we can predict where it goes next.
00:23:24But how do we track something that doesn't stay still?
00:23:28The entry says follow the whispers.
00:23:31Maybe that's the clue.
00:23:41There should be somewhere around here.
00:23:43Maybe you...
00:23:44Wait, do you hear that?
00:23:45The whispers, just like the guestbook said.
00:23:49Jules?
00:23:49Nina?
00:23:50What are you doing here?
00:23:52What are you doing here?
00:23:53Well, I guess we're all in this together now.
00:24:00What are you doing here?
00:24:30the whispers they were louder this time like they wanted us to hear them the cycle must end
00:24:48what does that even mean and why do we keep hearing it everything is tied up to the trunk
00:24:55the box the diary everything is elinor's room so the answers must be there we just need to figure
00:25:02out how to open this box and risk waking up whatever that's inside this box we're already
00:25:07knowing too much the house doesn't want us to know this much look at the symbols they match
00:25:14the diagrams from the dialogue this box needs a key to open a key jules the key the key you found
00:25:21earlier this is odd what's look at these photographs
00:25:48there must be a mistake no it's authentic all right guys you're not gonna believe this
00:26:02authorities are baffled as four individuals mysteriously disappeared from frostwood in
00:26:11curses were last seen entering the primes but no signs of struggle of departure has been found
00:26:18local whispers of the inn's dark reputation fueling fears of an unexplainable curse
00:26:24this was from 50 years ago well i'll be damned the date matches the disappearance but that doesn't
00:26:31explain anything do you think that's why elinor brought us here together
00:26:36we're barely getting the surface crash and i'm supposed to believe there's some grand mystery here
00:26:44there is a mystery nina elinor didn't just pick up us by accident the picture says it all i mean
00:26:51we're not just some random strangers it proves proves nothing 50 years ago i wasn't even born and
00:26:58somehow i ended up in a photograph with my aunt we can't deny the photograph nina we're also confused
00:27:04but i agree with lila we are not chosen at random we all have our own role to play and it's our duty
00:27:14to find out which ones time is in the straight line we thought it was i mean elinor somehow chose us
00:27:23to be here at this moment elinor never said she knew us before we were born
00:27:29this is all confusing but at least we found something why don't we just start here
00:27:35my my the past doesn't like to be disturbed
00:27:45enough with this cryptic nonsense what does this mean it means you've walked into a time trap
00:27:52guys this is incredible they're not just journal entries they're more like research
00:28:00like she was piecing the secrets of the house together can anyone make sense of this
00:28:07i'm hitting the wall with these symbols and diagrams they're not exactly on floor
00:28:17the symbols they're references to alchemy and ancient ceiling rituals and look here this diagram
00:28:25matches the layout of the inn why is she right all this and left it behind maybe she wanted somebody to
00:28:33find this somebody who could end what she started the veil must hold or the shadows will consume
00:28:41the heart of the house is key bound by time and intent the heart of the house
00:28:49she means the source of all of this the thing we need to destroy the symbol is repeated everywhere
00:28:56it has to mean something maybe it's the anchor of the wheel this man
00:29:08he's in the locket we found earlier who is he the man elinor feared i think or the man who betrayed her
00:29:17betrayal but for me elinor didn't seem someone who would trust anyone that much
00:29:23what if she did trust him maybe that's why we're here wait
00:29:32he will come back for what i took his revenge is inevitable he was terrified we're not just dealing
00:29:40with an inheritance this is personal this man he's why we're here elinor thought someone would return
00:29:51the journal it mentioned betrayal what if the man is still watching us
00:29:59my sir if this turns into a ghost story i'm not staying here i don't think it's a ghost
00:30:06you've already awakened what was meant to stay buried
00:30:20this letters they are signed by jay
00:30:34the man in the photo these letters of jace he wasn't just angry he was planning something
00:30:47why would she keep these hidden was she scared he'd come back maybe she was the man jay maybe he's the
00:30:56one who is watching us
00:31:01these are not just random thoughts written in the journal it's warnings warnings for what
00:31:07the journal mentioned betrayal she warned about the in itself about someone returning to take something
00:31:14she had taken a betrayal maybe he's the one who betrayed her
00:31:22listen to this one the light will reveal the truth but whispers in the dark will always remain
00:31:30what was that
00:31:34okay can we for one moment not die of a heart attack while we're trying to solve this
00:31:40you found the truth but now you've crossed the line the past won't forgive
00:31:47why are we here it doesn't feel random maybe it were the loose ends that eleanor wanted to tie up
00:32:01or whoever that jay guy is this is just like eleanor she likes toying with people this could be nothing
00:32:09what if it's not what if she was trying to protect us
00:32:12perhaps eleanor was trying to protect herself but you've already disturbed that which should remain
00:32:23undisturbed what does that mean it means you've brought the past closer than you think
00:32:31he watches from the rail the one who betrayed me seeks to undo what i've built who's he what's his
00:32:39name it cannot be just jay elanor wouldn't leave these hints to us if it was that simple she probably
00:32:47wanted us to find him or what he has left for us and we're all just blindly playing along for all we
00:32:55know this jay could still be around then why all these warnings she must have been terrified
00:33:02if elanor wants us to find something it's not just her words it's somewhere over here
00:33:15is it just me or did elanor keep all her life hidden in puzzles that's probably cheaper than a
00:33:22therapy what was their connection
00:33:25he was her greatest love and her greatest disappointment
00:33:33oh so you knew him then why don't you try to mention it even once
00:33:39some stories are better left untold
00:33:43but eleanor didn't leave you that choice did she
00:33:46i gave him my trust my heart and he took everything but i will ensure he never gets what
00:33:55he truly wants what did he want the inn her fortune or her silence open it already wait what if it's
00:34:06another warning elanor didn't just give us this clues for fun right well we've already ignored the other
00:34:14ones let's see how bad this can get to the one i run i knew my betrayal would lead us both here
00:34:28the truth lies where the heart was broken that's it another cryptic line typical elanor that's not just
00:34:36it she's committing guilt
00:34:42where the heart remembers it's a clue another scavenger game great
00:34:53so what she cheated someone out of money broke their heart why drag us into it
00:34:59because we're connected she said the truth lies where the heart was broken it should mean something
00:35:04yeah let's all take turns and we guess who's next to get haunted
00:35:12you found what elanor feared most be careful where you look next
00:35:19why what's left to find the truth and the one she betrayed
00:35:27the truth lies beneath the veil of memory
00:35:29who's there
00:35:47who's there
00:35:55to understand the past you must face the future look to where memory fades and you will see one
00:36:11where memory fades
00:36:15oh alex what's wrong you look like you've seen a ghost
00:36:19a ghost not a ghost just a message
00:36:30this is more than just elanor's riddles where memories fade this could be obvious we're looking for
00:36:37something hidden i know but where
00:36:45this they're from elanor's younger age but there is something off about these pictures
00:36:52that's odd why is the guy's face hidden there is more so it's addressed to elanor
00:37:00but it's signed jay i promised i'd return for what you stole from me you can run but you can't hide
00:37:07the truth will find you jay
00:37:09so jay is the one elanor betrayed but then why is he threatening us now
00:37:25you found the door to the past but should it be unlocked some doors are better left closed
00:37:34you have been saying cryptic shit all this time what do you know mrs grayson
00:37:39the truth is more dangerous than you think you better be careful what you awaken
00:37:44this this feels wrong guys i've seen this symbol in her diaries and it's already it means we need to leave
00:38:07we're not leaving not until we find what we want someone's coming quickly hide
00:38:29what's this
00:38:41why were you hidden here
00:38:42okay
00:38:56okay definitely not creepy at all
00:39:03shh stay quiet whoever it is we don't want them to know marie
00:39:12you're not ready for this none of you are
00:39:31too long i have waited for this
00:39:43what was that what does she know it seemed like she was talking to someone but
00:39:49oh there was nobody before we entered the room she's definitely hiding something i don't know what
00:39:57but it's more than just a housekeeper's secrets any of you feel like you're being watched let's get
00:40:03back to her rooms we'll discuss this in the morning remember to lock your rooms
00:40:07that was really dangerous we don't stop huh oh jules how good for you to join us

00:44:05good night um excuse me uh good night
00:44:17the veil isn't just a metaphor it's the barrier that keeps him out
00:44:22what happened are you okay it talked to me it said we're all over here
00:44:42What happened? Are you okay?
00:44:47It talked to me. It said we've gone too far.
00:44:57He lives between what was and what is. The Vale is his prison, but he's breaking free.
00:45:03What is it even supposed to mean?
00:45:06It means he's waking up.
00:45:09Eleanor used to keep him locked away, but you're breaking down these walls.
00:45:16Who? Who's tearing down the walls?
00:45:23Mrs. Grayson, I think you owe us answers at this point.
00:45:27What do you wish to know?
00:45:30If this guy is real, why hasn't he shown himself?
00:45:33He doesn't exist in this plane.
00:45:36But I assure you, he's as real as you and me.
00:45:41You mentioned someone is waking him up. Who and how?
00:45:46The four of you are waking him up.
00:45:49He feeds on fear.
00:45:53The more you dig, the more strong he becomes.
00:45:59Then why leave us all these clues? Why lead us to him?
00:46:06Eleanor didn't want you to free him. She wanted you to stop him.
00:46:13Great. No pressure.
00:46:17There's nothing concrete there. It's all cryptic warnings.
00:46:32Or maybe that's all Eleanor had. Warnings.
00:46:47Here it is. This is the heart of the house. This is where we can find him. Or stop him.
00:46:53This is where we can find him. Or stop him.
00:47:00We shouldn't even stop him. You're only lying.
00:47:05Okay, this is insane. We're walking straight into his trap.
00:47:10Do you have a better idea? Because reading these letters or the notes is not great either.
00:47:16If Eleanor marked this as the heart, it means she meant for us to go.
00:47:21Or where she was trying to warn us not to go.
00:47:28Can we stop it with the dramatics already?
00:47:33You found it. Eleanor's final clue.
00:47:37You mean the creepy heart room? Care to explain what's waiting for us there?
00:47:42This house was built around it. It's where he resides. Eleanor trapped him there. But the veil is breaking.
00:47:54Wonderful. So yeah, we're just gonna walk in and fix our mistakes, right?
00:47:59Eleanor chose you for a reason. You're all connected to him somehow.
00:48:05How 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.
00:48:18You seem drawn to this one. It's called transition.
00:48:36It's more than a painting. It's the story.
00:48:40An incomplete one. You think so? Most people just see shadows.
00:48:48Most people are not paying attention. But you are. That's what makes your work so different.
00:48:57Do I know you? You seem familiar.
00:49:01Perhaps in another time.
00:49:07Well, congratulations on your opening. I'll keep an eye on your work.
00:49:12I'll keep an eye on your work.
00:49:22Art doesn't just reflect the soul. It reveals the unseen. Your studio deserves to stand the test of time.
00:49:30Consider this my contribution.
00:49:33So, Mrs. Jules, your studio has gotten a lot of attention since its opening. Tell me, what inspired this exhibit?
00:49:46Honestly, I don't think I fully understand it myself. These pieces, they just come to me. Like, they are meant to be created.
00:49:58Rumor has it that this was impossible without an anonymous contributor. Any idea of who they are?
00:50:05Fits me. Whoever they are, they believed in myself more than I believed in myself.
00:50:12I wonder if they see the same story in the shadows.
00:50:15Sorry, what was that?
00:50:17Um, no, nothing. I was just thinking out loud.
00:50:21Who are you really, Elioner?
00:50:39That's a charming place. It has an air of curiosity about it.
00:50:44That's what I aim for. Welcome to the Curious Bookworm. Can I help you find anything?
00:50:49Well, I'm actually here to help you. I hear you are quite an investigator of various strange phenomena.
00:50:57What is this?
00:50:59That's a family estate. Has a reputation about it. I think you'll find it interesting.
00:51:06That's... incredible, but...
00:51:10And I leave you for a few minutes and you wander off like that. Sorry to bother you. We're leaving.
00:51:16I trust you'll make a good use of it. Just be careful where your curiosity leaves you.
00:51:26Today we're diving into the enigmatic history of Frostwood Inn. Known for its hunting atmosphere and unexplained events.
00:51:35This estate has been the subject for local legends for decades.
00:51:45Hey, do you have a minute?
00:51:47Sure, what's in your mind?
00:51:48I wanted to apologize to you for the other day. My aunt can be... not so okay, so to speak.
00:51:54She may have spoken things that seem odd to you, but she's not a bad person. She's just...
00:51:58You don't believe in her, don't you?
00:52:00I don't. But... Frostwood Inn has had strange happenings.
00:52:05But they can all be explained rationally, that's all.
00:52:07You've been running your whole life, Nina. You can't just keep running.
00:52:15I'm not running. I'm just not interested in chasing shadows.
00:52:22These are not shadows. This is our family legacy.
00:52:28An old creature.
00:52:31I'm not running. I'm just not interested in chasing shadows.
00:52:36These are not shadows. This is our family legacy.
00:52:41An old, creepy inn? Sounds more like a burden, not a legacy.
00:52:49You have no idea what Frostwood Inn is holding. This is not just an inn.
00:52:55This is about who we are, and one day you will understand.
00:53:00If it's so important to you, why don't you deal with it yourself? Why drag me into it?
00:53:05Because I won't always be here.
00:53:08What do you want me to do?
00:53:10For now, just listen. And when the time comes, you will know what to do.
00:53:15You should know better than to wander off, Ant.
00:53:21Library had nothing much about Frostwood Inn.
00:53:23Well, sometimes you need to go elsewhere to find out the truth.
00:53:26You know, you have to be more curious.
00:53:29Because that's how we find out who we are.
00:53:32Or how we waste time chasing ghosts.
00:53:35Legends of Frostwood Inn speak of a mysterious veil that protects its secrets, but also finds those who inherit its legacy.
00:53:50Is it a place of power, or a curse waiting to claim its next victim?
00:53:55Hey! I've been listening to your podcast.
00:54:04Wow, I'm flattered.
00:54:06Don't tell me I've converted you into a believer.
00:54:09Honestly, I thought it was just stories, but I'm not so sure.
00:54:14My aunt, Eleanor, she's obsessed with Frostwood Inn.
00:54:18Yeah, Eleanor mentioned you.
00:54:20She thinks that you might be a part of something bigger.
00:54:24She's good at being cryptic.
00:54:26Do you think there's anything real behind all this?
00:54:28I think it's worth looking to it.
00:54:31I mean, if she's right, you might be a key to understanding it.
00:54:35I'm not so sure I want to understand this.
00:54:58The Frostwood Inn is more than just an old building.
00:55:01It's a mystery, woven into the fabric of our town.
00:55:04A place where stories seem to go to hide and people sometimes vanish altogether.
00:55:11Some call it cursed, others a masterpiece of misfortune.
00:55:15But the question remains, what is Frostwood really hiding?
00:55:30Yeah?
00:55:31What the hell is this, Alex?
00:55:33I told you to stick to the mayoral campaign.
00:55:36This is bigger than politics, Marcus.
00:55:39Four people disappeared near that inn 50 years ago.
00:55:42There was not a trace and nobody was connecting the dots.
00:55:46Until now.
00:55:47There are no dots to connect.
00:55:49You are pushing a ghost story.
00:55:51We are not running this.
00:55:52The public deserves to know the truth.
00:56:00The truth about Frostwood may never fully be uncovered,
00:56:04but for those brave or foolish,
00:56:07enough to try, it's a path you can walk back from.
00:56:11Looks like I'm going back to the story.
00:56:18Jay, where are you, Mr. Jay?
00:56:23Hm?
00:56:24The faint whisper of Jay, the one who holds the key to all of this.
00:56:28I fear I have failed him, but he will come when it is time.
00:56:32I only hope it is not too late.
00:56:36Wait.
00:56:37She said that he would come whenever is the time.
00:56:42What if he's not just someone from her past?
00:56:45What if he's been here all along?
00:56:47Or what if he's the one that we have been interacting the whole time,
00:56:55but we didn't even realize.
00:56:59I see you're trying to find the identity of Jay.
00:57:04Why don't you tell us more about him?
00:57:06Was he an enemy of a friend?
00:57:08Eleanor trusted Jay because she knew him better than anyone else.
00:57:13But he was also the reason why she was trapped here.
00:57:16Why?
00:57:17What's his connection to all of this?
00:57:20Jay wasn't a stranger.
00:57:22He was, or is, one of you.
00:57:29What do you mean one of us?
00:57:31He vanished, or rather part of him vanished 50 years ago.
00:57:38One of us?
00:57:40So he's been here all along?
00:57:43Jay was your connection to the Vale, but he became part of the Shadow.
00:57:48He was trapped in the Earthreal plane with Eleanor.
00:57:53His identity was lost, his memory wiped, until all of you returned.
00:58:02So, Jay has been here all the time?
00:58:07Yes.
00:58:08Jay is the missing piece.
00:58:10The key to the cycle.
00:58:13He was tied to the Vale.
00:58:17Just like you all were.
00:58:19He wasn't fortunate enough to come out whole, like you back then.
00:58:29Whole?
00:58:30What do you mean, whole?
00:58:34Jay was none other than James, your brother, Nina.
00:58:42James? My brother?
00:58:45But he's been in a wheelchair for as long as I can remember.
00:58:49The last time you were together, he got lost in the Vale, and he sacrificed part of himself, so that you could all get out.
00:58:59Eleanor went back to try to get the piece that he had left behind, so that he could be whole again.
00:59:08But she discovered the Shadow merged with him.
00:59:11In essence, he became that which you were trying to escape.
00:59:24This map was Eleanor's last attempt to escape the Vale.
00:59:28She believes the in-spaces shift, mirroring their counterparts in the Vale.
00:59:35Therefore, for instance, becomes a heart.
00:59:39Heart.
00:59:41How about other rooms?
00:59:43Like boarding rooms?
00:59:46They become manifestations of the Vale's power.
00:59:49Each one feeding evil.
00:59:52So, how do we get in?
00:59:54Are we supposed to just walk into some other dimension?
00:59:58This will help you cross over.
01:00:01This is how Eleanor went in, and how you will follow her.
01:00:04So, what if we can't come back?
01:00:08Then the Vale will claim you.
01:00:10Then let's do this.
01:00:12We've come too far to back out now.
01:00:17Worlds align and worlds collide.
01:00:22Worlds arrive and worlds collide.
01:00:25Let them all come inside!
01:00:28This...
01:00:33This doesn't feel right.
01:00:36It's too late to back out now.
01:00:43Step through.
01:00:45Together.
01:00:58Don't let us get lost.
01:01:00You are stronger than the evil!
01:01:03Trust each other!
01:01:16This...
01:01:18This is the Vale?
01:01:20It looks...
01:01:22Warped.
01:01:23It's not just warped.
01:01:24It's...
01:01:25Wrong.
01:01:27Look at the walls.
01:01:28They're breathing.
01:01:30Look at this place.
01:01:32Stick together.
01:01:33We don't know what's real here.
01:01:36You've come back.
01:01:37The cycle begins on you.
01:01:40This place...
01:01:42It's alive.
01:01:44Alive and watching us.
01:01:46Careful.
01:01:48Please don't go anywhere and don't go separated.
01:01:49Because if this place shifts...
01:01:52We can lose each other.
01:01:54Right.
01:01:55We stick together.
01:01:56No matter what.
01:02:14It's a marking.
01:02:16Eleanor must have left it behind.
01:02:17What does it mean?
01:02:19Is it part of the map?
01:02:21It's...
01:02:22Like a sigil.
01:02:24She'd probably try to...
01:02:26Contain something here or...
01:02:28Come back here.
01:02:30Or maybe...
01:02:31It's protecting us.
01:02:33Or maybe...
01:02:34It's protecting something else.
01:02:36Could you please see if there is anything under it?
01:02:40Wait...
01:02:42What is that?
01:02:44It's like a compass.
01:02:46It's pointing somewhere.
01:02:49Looks like...
01:02:50That's where we're going to.
01:02:52Wait...
01:02:53What if it's leading us into a trap?
01:02:55Doesn't matter.
01:02:56If we want to find Eleanor...
01:02:58We're gonna take the risk.
01:03:00Let's go before this place starts changing.
01:03:01This place feels worse than the foyer, like it's breathing.
01:03:19The compass brought us here.
01:03:21So...
01:03:22There has to be something we can find.
01:03:24These markings...
01:03:26It's similar to those in Eleanor's diary.
01:03:29In her journal she said...
01:03:31The veil imprints itself on the space it consumes.
01:03:34Great.
01:03:36So are we walking in that whale's stomach?
01:03:39Stay close!
01:03:41Don't let the voice mess your mind.
01:03:43The compass...
01:03:45The compass...
01:03:46It's finding there.
01:03:47It means that evil doesn't want us near it.
01:03:49To hell with that!
01:03:50Let's find out what's inside!
01:03:52Flashlights!
01:03:53Use your lights!
01:03:55It keeps the darkness away!
01:03:57Got it!
01:03:59No!
01:04:01Rust!
01:04:03Rust!
01:04:04Rust in the fire!
01:04:05Amazing.
01:04:19Let's see what we're supposed to find in this room.
01:04:24Whatever we need must be in that wall.
01:04:27Do you really think with it moving like this we'll just easily give up?
01:04:33Wait.
01:04:35There is something written about this wall in this diary.
01:04:40Speak softly your desires and tap twice to reveal that which is hidden.
01:04:45Right.
01:04:47As if that'll work.
01:04:50You can go far without some fight little bird.
01:04:54James?
01:04:56I am.
01:04:57But I am not.
01:04:59Yes.
01:05:00Yes.
01:05:02That was what they used to call me.
01:05:05Oh god James!
01:05:06Is that you?
01:05:08I am here.
01:05:09There.
01:05:10Everywhere.
01:05:11This is not important.
01:05:12You have to end and free us.
01:05:17Oh!
01:05:18Don't wait!
01:05:20Go on.
01:05:21I will hold them for as long as I can.
01:05:25Wiggly!
01:05:26We're here!
01:05:27No!
01:05:28No!
01:05:37So, we have the fragments now.
01:05:40What now?
01:05:42How do we use this to end the veil?
01:05:44Well, Elnor said that fragments must be combined at the heart of the veil.
01:05:49That's this room, but it requires-
01:05:51What?
01:05:52It requires what?
01:05:54It requires a strong bond, strong connection between the people who are involved.
01:05:59Because the veil fits on division and fear, so we have to connect.
01:06:04Like, we have to have connection, we have to have trust and focus.
01:06:10Great.
01:06:11Trust and focus.
01:06:13No pressure.
01:06:15Can't do battle on an empty stomach and no rest.
01:06:18Well, aim into that.
01:06:22Fighting and running away from the devils.
01:06:24It's surely a hungry war.
01:06:26Jules, what are you thinking?
01:06:28Um...
01:06:30You said...
01:06:31Jay James...
01:06:33He lost a part of himself in the veil, and then Elnor went there by herself to climb it back and got stuck there?
01:06:41Jules, what are you getting at?
01:06:44Perhaps there is a way how we can save them both.
01:06:46There was just one room that wasn't available, and yet it got shifted back to our reality.
01:06:54Elianer's room.
01:06:56Yes, and what about it?
01:06:59Let's go back to the veil.
01:07:01I think I know where we can find Elianer and we can save your brother.
01:07:04First, you all have to take some rest.
01:07:08And freshen up.
01:07:10The rest you can wait.
01:07:12They are not going anywhere.
01:07:13James is tied to the veil.
01:07:20His body remains here, but part of him has merged with evil.
01:07:25If you want to bring him back, you'll have to sever that connection.
01:07:28Which means going back.
01:07:31How do you even find him in that place?
01:07:34The veil shifts, but its heart remains constant.
01:07:39You'll find James there.
01:07:41This will guide you to him.
01:07:47But be warned.
01:07:49The veil will fight harder this time.
01:07:51Because it knows you're coming to undo its grip.
01:07:55I'm not afraid.
01:07:56I'm getting my brother back.
01:07:58Together.
01:08:00Together.
01:08:07Elianer wrote about James.
01:08:08She said part of him was left behind when the evil first took him.
01:08:13His memories.
01:08:14His essence.
01:08:16It's still there.
01:08:18If he's connected to the veil, then shouldn't destroying it free him?
01:08:23Not if the evil bound him willingly.
01:08:26His essence feeds it.
01:08:28That's why he's the key to breaking the cycle.
01:08:33Then we find him.
01:08:35If there's a way to bring him back, we'll figure it out.
01:08:38James is waiting, but so am I.
01:08:50This place is worse than I remember.
01:08:53It's like it's waiting for us.
01:08:56Or for Nina.
01:08:59James is here.
01:09:00I can feel it.
01:09:03Nina.
01:09:04Did you hear that?
01:09:10James?
01:09:11James!
01:09:12It's me!
01:09:13Can you hear me?
01:09:14Nina.
01:09:15You shouldn't be here.
01:09:16It's not safe.
01:09:20What is coming for you?
01:09:21Wait, James! Don't go!
01:09:22What is coming for you?
01:09:23Wait, James! Don't go!
01:09:24What is coming for you?
01:09:26Find him in the heart.
01:09:27The heart.
01:09:28That's where he is.
01:09:30The heart is at the core of the veil.
01:09:31If James is tied to it, separating him won't be easy.
01:09:33Nothing about this has ever been easy.
01:09:34Guys!
01:09:35We need to figure out a plan before taking him out.
01:09:36That thing in the shadow wouldn't let us just take him like that.
01:09:39James!
01:09:40James!
01:09:41James!
01:09:42James!
01:09:43James!
01:09:44James!
01:09:45Stay with me!
01:09:46Don't let it take you!
01:09:47I'm trying, but the veil is too strong.
01:09:48Niii!
01:09:49Nina!
01:09:50You have to do something!
01:09:51Pull him out!
01:09:52We can't just hold the devil back forever!
01:09:53She can't do it alone!
01:09:54You all must focus.
01:09:56I'm trying to figure out a plan before taking him out.
01:09:57Guys!
01:09:58We need to figure out a plan before taking him out.
01:10:00That thing in the shadow wouldn't let us just take him like that.
01:10:03James!
01:10:04James!
01:10:05Stay with me!
01:10:06Don't let it take you!
01:10:07I'm trying, but the veil is too strong.
01:10:08Nina!
01:10:09You have to do something!
01:10:10Pull him out!
01:10:11We can't just hold the devil back forever!
01:10:14She can't do it alone.
01:10:16You all must focus!
01:10:18The veil feeds on division.
01:10:21Only unity can break and separate them.
01:10:37Nina, I don't know if I can.
01:10:39The veil is part of me now.
01:10:45It's not enough.
01:10:46Part of me is still here.
01:10:49You have done enough for me.
01:10:51No!
01:10:52We can figure this out!
01:10:53We just need more time!
01:10:55There has to be another way to fix this!
01:10:58I am not leaving you here like this!
01:11:01It's too late.
01:11:02If I leave, I will die.
01:11:05There's no way that's it.
01:11:07Everything has a solution.
01:11:09We've been through so much before.
01:11:11The veil is unyielding.
01:11:12To exist outside of it, James would need to sever himself completely.
01:11:21But he feeds on the energy.
01:11:25Without it, he won't survive.
01:11:28I don't care what it takes to fix this!
01:11:30You deserve to come home!
01:11:32I can feel your love.
01:11:34That's enough for me.
01:11:38If we stay here any longer, the veil might trap all of us.
01:11:43We have to go, Nina!
01:11:44She's right!
01:11:45James wouldn't want us to risk our lives.
01:11:47That's not what he'd want for us.
01:11:49No, James!
01:11:50I can't leave you again!
01:11:51Not like this!
01:11:53You will not lose me.
01:11:55I will always be with you in here.
01:11:59Nina, we have to go.
01:12:00The veil is not going to wait.
01:12:03And I will never stop watching you, little bird.
01:12:11Move!
01:12:12The veil is closing in!
01:12:22The veil is closing in!
01:12:26We made it out.
01:12:28Barely.
01:12:30He's safe now, in his own way.
01:12:33He's still gone!
01:12:35I couldn't save him!
01:12:40You gave him peace, Nina.
01:12:43Which is more than the veil ever offered him.
01:12:48Good-bye, James.
01:12:50I'll never forget you.
01:12:59Open the portal!
01:13:08It's starting.
01:13:09We have to do this now.
01:13:12Well, I just hope it works.
01:13:15Focus.
01:13:16Think about why we're here.
01:13:18What are we fighting for?
01:13:23You think the veil's success will help you defeat me?
01:13:27You cannot end me!
01:13:29You belong to me!
01:13:32We belong to no one.
01:13:34This ends now!
01:13:38Don't stop.
01:13:39Keep going.
01:13:48That's it.
01:13:49The heart of the veil.
01:13:50The heart of the veil.
01:13:54They've done it.
01:13:56But the veil won't give up without a fight.
01:13:57Don't stop.
01:14:07Don't stop.
01:14:09Nothing.
01:14:19Guys, we can't hold off the evil forever.
01:14:32The veil's core is weakening.
01:14:35Its heart is its anchor.
01:14:38If you destroy it, it will collapse.
01:14:40You have to act fast!
01:14:41What happens to Eleanor and James if we do?
01:14:44She will be freed from this evil.
01:14:48As will James.
01:14:49Let's finish this.
01:14:51You cannot escape.
01:14:53You cannot bring the cycle.
01:14:55Yes, we can!
01:15:00Run!
01:15:01Get to Eleanor's room.
01:15:03Its the only safe place.
01:15:05Let's go.
01:15:19And Eleanor?
01:15:21Nina, sweetheart, you're here.
01:15:27You've done so much.
01:15:29And the strength of the veil is weakening.
01:15:33Wait, we need to get you out of here. The veil is collapsing.
01:15:36I can't leave.
01:15:38I cannot leave just yet.
01:15:40I'm still held back by the darkness of the veil.
01:15:42Then how do we break it for good?
01:15:44The anchor must be severed completely.
01:15:48But for that, we must come together.
01:15:50We must come together.
01:15:51We'll do it!
01:15:52Together!
01:15:54Let's end this!
01:16:03You cannot destroy me.
01:16:04I am.
01:16:08Not anymore!
01:16:13It's...
01:16:15Gone.
01:16:18The veil is gone.
01:16:19You've done it!
01:16:32You've broken the cycle!
01:16:34The veil is no more!
01:16:36The past has been severed.
01:16:38You are free.
01:16:40We couldn't have done it without you, Aunt Eleanor.
01:16:44Aunt Eleanor?
01:16:49We did it.
01:16:51It's finally over.
01:16:54It's...
01:16:56peaceful, but it's a little bit empty somehow.
01:16:59We've done so much.
01:17:01And now?
01:17:03Now what?
01:17:05Now we just move on and leave all this behind.
01:17:09Now we rebuild.
01:17:11We take what we've learned and we move forward.
01:17:14For Eleanor's sake, if nothing else.
01:17:16If nothing else.
01:17:19What about you?
01:17:20What happens to you?
01:17:22My time here is done.
01:17:25Eleanor's legacy is complete.
01:17:27This house is no longer a prison.
01:17:30It's free!
01:17:32As are all of you.
01:17:34But remember...
01:17:36Eleanor's legacy was never about ending the cycle.
01:17:41It was about giving you the chance to live beyond it.
01:17:44We'll live.
01:17:46We'll make sure it wasn't all for nothing.
01:17:48You freed this place and yourselves.
01:17:52Eleanor would be proud.
01:17:54She was so close.
01:17:57If she just had more time...
01:17:59She left us a legacy.
01:18:00She left us a legacy.
01:18:01She left us the tools to finish what she started.
01:18:03I know.
01:18:04But if we've been here sooner, maybe we'll just save her from...
01:18:05She made her choice, Lila.
01:18:06Just like we made ours.
01:18:07We cannot change the past.
01:18:08But we can live our honor from now.
01:18:09You're right.
01:18:10We have our own path is now.
01:18:11You're right.
01:18:12We have our own path is now.
01:18:14You're right.
01:18:15We have our own path is now.
01:18:16You're right.
01:18:17We have our own path is now.
01:18:18We made it through.
01:18:19We made it through.
01:18:20But what comes next?
01:18:21We'll just save her from...
01:18:22She made her choice.
01:18:23Lila, just like we made ours.
01:18:26We cannot change the past.
01:18:29But we can live our honor from now.
01:18:32You're right.
01:18:33We have our own path is now.
01:18:45We made it through.
01:18:48But what comes next?
01:18:50Let's see where it takes us.
01:19:20Everything is different now. No more shifting spaces. And no more feelings like we're in some endless nightmare.
01:19:29It feels like the weight of the world has lifted off our shoulders.
01:19:34You've broken the cycle, but at great expense. Eleanor gave everything she had to try to set you free.
01:19:42And in the end, you did what she couldn't. You ended the Vale reign over this place.
01:19:49We found peace. It wasn't easy, but we did it. So we can just continue the way with the knowledge that we've gained. Rest is up to us.
01:20:02This is where we part ways, I guess. It doesn't have to be. We can visit. We'll always have this place as a part of our story.
01:20:19And the mystery of the end will live in our memories forever.
01:20:24Maybe it's time to make new stories.
01:20:28Maybe this will always be a reminder. Even when shadows envelop us, there's always light to dispel the shadows.
01:20:49It was about truth. Not the kind that gets published or reported. But the kind that sets you free.
01:21:04The message is called Easy.
01:21:06She gave me the keys to understanding. And in return, I'll live with her sacrifice and live well.
01:21:16I spent years trying to make sense of the darkness, but I have learned the darkness isn't always evil, sometimes they are reflections. It's easier to create when you understand the light, and now I can.
01:21:37This place gave me the strength to find myself again. The veil is no more. Time for new beginnings. This is more than a hotel. It's a home. A safe place.
