00:00:00One last time, I have to see this ground.
00:00:11It's beautiful now, as if nothing had happened here.
00:00:17Soon they will tear down the main house, and then nothing will be left.
00:00:21Nothing.
00:00:23Except what I remember.
00:00:27I grew up in the town nearby.
00:00:30Where my father was the mayor, and where this house stood waiting for me.
00:00:35It was built by Wilfred Butler.
00:00:39We had never seen him, and he never lived at home.
00:00:44Until the day before Christmas, in 1950, he finally did come back.
00:00:50For the last time.
00:00:52We had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him, and we had never seen him,
00:01:22All of us believe that his death was an accident.
00:01:38No one knew that another person had come to Butler House that Christmas.
00:01:52As Deputy Coroner of the County of Arlington, State of Massachusetts, I hereby find, upon
00:02:14evidence of an autopsy conducted by the medical examiner of this county, that the deceased
00:02:20Wilford Butler died as a result of burns inflicted accidentally upon himself on his own premises
00:02:28during the afternoon of December 24, 1950.
00:02:33No further inquiry shall be held over the body of the deceased, and this inquest is officially
00:02:39closed.
00:02:40All is calm, all is bright, round yon virgin mother and child.
00:04:42There was no one there to mourn him.
00:04:44It was the funeral of a stranger.
00:04:46I, Wilfred Butler,
00:05:12being of sound mind and body,
00:05:17at least what the world considers sound,
00:05:21to hereby leave my house and its grounds
00:05:24and all personal effects within that house
00:05:28to my only surviving relation,
00:05:34my grandson, Geoffrey Butler.
00:05:37And I solemnly charge him with one duty.
00:05:45Let him leave the house as I left it,
00:05:49standing untouched to remind the world
00:05:55of its inhumanity and cruelty.
00:06:00For 20 years, that house lay empty,
00:06:04exactly as Wilfred left it.
00:06:08And then, last year,
00:06:10rumors began that it was finally being sold.
00:06:15The newspaper story traveled through the county
00:06:17to a state hospital for the criminally insane.
00:06:22Irving, Irving!
00:06:34Irving!
00:06:35Oh, no!
00:07:05The man who came to sell the house had never seen it.
00:07:35He was a lawyer from the city, just doing a job and enjoying it.
00:07:45Stop! And look serious, please.
00:07:50Oh, you're hopeless.
00:07:53Oh, look!
00:07:56Hey, wait, where are you going now? The mayor's gonna have a fit, yeah?
00:08:02One more shot.
00:08:05Come on.
00:08:08Stay there. I want one to get it.
00:08:11It's mine.
00:08:13For all the news as it happens, stay tuned to WLIX, your voice in the Northeast.
00:08:26This is Roger Fowler with local stories.
00:08:28First, today's headlines.
00:08:30A warehouse fire still rages in Elizabeth.
00:08:33Police suspect arson.
00:08:34That escaped inmate at Margaretville State Hospital, still at large, still hunted by state police.
00:08:39And over in Roxbury, the city passes a controversial housing code.
00:08:42Go to John.
00:08:47Be sure to Jasmine.
00:08:48Lord.
00:08:49I'll be there, Mike.
00:08:50I'll be there.
00:08:51I'll be there.
00:08:52Oh, sure to tell them.
00:08:53Let me show you everything.
00:08:54Of and Mary.
00:08:55Make sure this buddy is a good sieht man without having to help here!
00:08:56I can't do that.
00:08:57You need the jury is a goodive guy murder may have been named by the,...
00:09:00Oh, my God.
00:09:30Well, didn't I tell you?
00:09:53It's beautiful.
00:09:54Can we see the rest of it?
00:09:57Honey, that was it.
00:09:58I think the mayor is waiting for me.
00:10:02My love is such an important man.
00:10:06Right.
00:10:07Laura always says that.
00:10:10Darling.
00:10:11What?
00:10:13Don't be long.
00:10:17Honey, if you get bored, just look at the view.
00:10:21Sooner or later, that viaduct's gonna take us back home.
00:10:28Come on, little baby, let's go next.
00:10:31You have to know the probability.
00:10:46What do you think?
00:10:46If I had to move him, it'd be okay.
00:10:49Have a particular accident arrived.
00:10:51With heart, let me walk with you.
00:10:53Mr. Carter.
00:11:03Mr. Mayor.
00:11:12Let me introduce you.
00:11:14This is Charlie Toman, who publishes our weekly newspaper, The Patriot.
00:11:19Mr. Toman.
00:11:23And this is Tess Howard.
00:11:25How do you do?
00:11:25She operates our switchboard.
00:11:26Oh, really?
00:11:27We call her the communications director.
00:11:31And this is Bill Mason.
00:11:33Mason.
00:11:34Our sheriff.
00:11:40Won't you sit there, Mr. Carter, at the head of the table?
00:11:46I, uh, I didn't expect to meet you all together.
00:11:50It's quite a reception.
00:11:53All right.
00:12:08Let's begin.
00:12:10As you know, I've been retained by Jeffrey Butler.
00:12:14The matter concerns the house that he inherited from his grandfather, Wilfred Butler.
00:12:17Go on, Mr. Carter.
00:12:26I, I believe that you offered to buy the house for my client.
00:12:30Offered?
00:12:31We begged him.
00:12:32We wrote letters and we...
00:12:33That's enough, Tess.
00:12:34Well, it's true.
00:12:37Trouble.
00:12:37It was always trouble.
00:12:38I can sympathize.
00:12:39I spent the last 20 years and more driving people away from there.
00:12:45Prowlers.
00:12:46Burglars.
00:12:47Kids.
00:12:48They're the worst.
00:12:49Chasing for nothing because of that will.
00:12:53That drivel about humanity.
00:12:56No, no, no.
00:12:57Inhumanity.
00:12:58What the hell is that, huh?
00:12:59Yes, well, he was a bitter man.
00:13:07Hate?
00:13:08It must have been very hard.
00:13:08It must have been hate.
00:13:15That man hated.
00:13:17Well, some people are like that.
00:13:19No, no, no, no.
00:13:49The question is...
00:14:19Well, do you still want the house?
00:14:21Are you offering it to us, Mr. Carter?
00:14:24Exactly.
00:14:27Why now?
00:14:30Well, that's Mr. Butler's business, isn't it?
00:14:34You know we're not rich.
00:14:37Most of us came here during the Depression.
00:14:41But we love this town.
00:14:44It's our home.
00:14:46And naturally you want to improve it.
00:14:49Exactly.
00:14:50My client understands that and he fully sympathizes and he's willing to sacrifice the house for $50,000 in cash by noon tomorrow.
00:15:03That's an awful lot of cash.
00:15:11It's also an awfully good bargain.
00:15:13You could go to Wilton.
00:15:15You could go now to the bank.
00:15:17Am I clearly understood?
00:15:22Am I clearly understood?
00:15:25All that cash.
00:15:28Perfect.
00:15:29I'll wait for your answer until tomorrow.
00:15:31You're spending the night here?
00:15:34Yes.
00:15:36May I ask where?
00:15:38Here at the Butler house.
00:15:40We could put you up at the motel as our guest.
00:15:46No, no.
00:15:47The house is fine.
00:15:48The Paradise Motel.
00:15:51That's very kind of you.
00:15:52But I'm meeting Mr. Butler about some personal items.
00:15:55You'll want a phone.
00:15:56I can reconnect the line.
00:15:58Don't trouble, please.
00:16:00No trouble.
00:16:02You'll need a phone.
00:16:03Don't want to be stuck out there.
00:16:05Well, you've convinced me.
00:16:13By the way, have you known Mr. Butler a long time?
00:16:18No, I've never met him.
00:16:19He called me and asked me if I'd handle this for him.
00:16:21I said yes.
00:16:22He had the key delivered to my office.
00:16:24Mr. Mayor, Sheriff, Mr. Toman, Mr. Howard.
00:16:29See you all tomorrow.
00:16:30In fact, I'm looking forward to it.
00:16:45Slick.
00:16:45Really slick.
00:16:47He's a big lawyer, Bill.
00:16:48You've got to expect that.
00:16:49Don't tell me about lawyers.
00:16:51You see the way he looked at us?
00:16:52You see his clothes?
00:16:53He's doing his job.
00:16:56Just don't tell me about lawyers.
00:16:58You know what I'd like to see?
00:16:59Two of them like that when talking to each other.
00:17:02Neither one of them would know what to believe.
00:17:04I love you, too.
00:17:05Honey, when I get home, I'm going to have a nice surprise for you.
00:17:09No, no, I can't tell you what it is now.
00:17:12It wouldn't be a surprise, now, would it?
00:17:15No, no, I can't come home now, but it'll be very soon.
00:17:18Very soon.
00:17:21Honey, of course I miss you.
00:17:25Yes, yes, I miss Mommy, too.
00:17:27Uh, Laura, how are you, kid?
00:17:36So, I'll call tomorrow.
00:17:39No, I want to call.
00:17:40I want to talk to Jenny.
00:17:44Yeah, well, as a matter of fact, I'm, uh...
00:17:46I'm having a fine time.
00:17:51Well, same to you, darling.
00:17:52What do you mean, hostile?
00:17:56I was wondering, if we get it, what then?
00:18:20Take it down.
00:18:27Okay.
00:18:29Okay.
00:18:31I'd better get going.
00:18:33Do me a favor, Tess.
00:18:35Call Diane, tell her I'm going to Wilton,
00:18:37and I'll be back late.
00:18:38Come on.
00:18:50Come on.
00:18:51Come on.
00:19:21Come on.
00:19:51Come on.
00:19:55It's fantastic, isn't it?
00:19:59Yeah.
00:20:00Yeah.
00:20:01Butler wasn't kidding.
00:20:03Nobody's lived here for years.
00:20:05That would be such a waste.
00:20:08It's his grandfather's monument.
00:20:11You know, there's a caretaker who keeps this place just the way he left it.
00:20:16What kind of monument is this?
00:20:19Well, that's the trouble.
00:20:22Nobody remembers anymore.
00:20:24That's what usually happens in America.
00:20:27I remember this.
00:20:28And he walks with me and he talks with me and he tells me I'm his own.
00:20:35And he walks with me and he talks with me and he tells me I am his own and the joy he shares and he's very there.
00:20:54You're not serious.
00:20:59You used to hear that at funerals.
00:21:00At funerals?
00:21:02Yes.
00:21:03I was a kid in Chipley, Georgia.
00:21:06There's also a Chipley flower day.
00:21:08But they have both been subsequently eradicated from the map.
00:21:15None other has ever known.
00:21:38The only thing opened was a delicatessen.
00:21:53So I brought you pastrami, salami, potato salad, macaroni, everything you like.
00:22:00I'll have bologna.
00:22:03And macaroni.
00:22:04No, no.
00:22:05No, some of that potato salad.
00:22:08Did you pick the wine too?
00:22:10The delicatessen man took a personal interest in its selection.
00:22:14Oh, well, we got lucky again.
00:22:15That's early 1970.
00:22:17That's hard to come by.
00:22:19Can I have some too?
00:22:21Of course.
00:22:22Of course you may.
00:22:26Mmm.
00:22:35It must have been wonderful.
00:22:47What?
00:22:50The people who lived here.
00:22:52They must have had a wonderful life.
00:22:55Well, I hope they did.
00:22:58Wilford Butler must have believed in something.
00:23:00Believed?
00:23:01Look at that stone fireplace.
00:23:03Parquet floor.
00:23:04The mahogany.
00:23:05This table.
00:23:06And you probably think this place is made of wood, right?
00:23:09Well...
00:23:09Wrong.
00:23:10You know what his grandson told him?
00:23:13Underneath that wood, there's two feet of stone.
00:23:15The foundation is eight bricks wide.
00:23:18Now, someday they're going to come in here and they're going to tear this place down and
00:23:20they're going to build little tract houses all over this property on quarter acre and half
00:23:26acre lots.
00:23:28And that bulldozer's going to come up that hill toward this house.
00:23:32And it's going to get the surprise of its life.
00:23:37They built a kingdom out here.
00:23:39I mean, nobody's left.
00:23:40No, Butler has a grandson.
00:23:43No, no.
00:23:45He's probably like the rest of us.
00:23:46He wants money.
00:23:48You know, he's asking $50,000 cash for this place and for the only way he can get, oh,
00:23:53he can get at least $250,000.
00:23:56But he won't take his time.
00:24:00So he'll get screwed.
00:24:07Do you want to go upstairs now?
00:24:09Soon.
00:24:12You know, one of the great pleasures in life is the pleasure of anticipating pleasure.
00:24:19Isn't it?
00:24:19We're very close now, aren't we?
00:24:25Sure, honey.
00:24:27Very close.
00:24:34I don't see any beds yet.
00:24:36Well, keep looking, honey.
00:24:38Butler has said the place is furnished.
00:24:39It's furnished.
00:24:53It's furnished.
00:24:53Anything doing?
00:25:15No, sir.
00:25:15But look at this.
00:25:17More football, huh?
00:25:18Look how they smeared that quarterback.
00:25:20Look at his arm.
00:25:21Got no time now.
00:25:22Go test.
00:25:24How about that telephone up at the Butler house?
00:25:26Is it working?
00:25:28Well, try it now.
00:25:30I'll wait.
00:25:30Hello?
00:25:43Oh, yes.
00:25:45Miss Howard.
00:25:46Yeah, the phone's working fine.
00:25:51Very nice of you to go.
00:25:54Good night.
00:25:57Honey, I'm going down to the car to get some cigarettes.
00:26:00Be back in a minute.
00:26:01Okay.
00:26:02Don't get lonely.
00:26:03No, no.
00:26:04Okay.
00:27:17Did you get your cigarettes?
00:27:19Yes.
00:27:19Yes, I did.
00:27:21May I have one?
00:27:22Sure.
00:27:24It's the most amazing thing.
00:27:26These cigarettes come in these very small packages these days.
00:27:31Oh, that's for me?
00:27:34Mm-hmm.
00:27:36Can I open it?
00:27:38Oh, no, no, no.
00:27:40Our Christmas is day after tomorrow.
00:27:43Is that an order?
00:27:44Yes, ma'am.
00:27:47That's an order.
00:27:47Oh, no.
00:27:48Oh, no, no.
00:27:52Oh, no, no, no.
00:28:00Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:28:03Oh, no, no.
00:28:06Let's go.
00:28:36Let's go.
00:29:06Let's go.
00:29:36Let's go.
00:30:06Let's go.
00:30:36Go ahead now.
00:30:39Mr. Carter?
00:30:40I'm not Carter.
00:30:44Who is this?
00:30:45The owner.
00:30:47Butler.
00:30:48I'm worried, Sheriff.
00:30:50Carter's not here.
00:30:53Speak up.
00:30:53I can't hear you.
00:30:55I can't.
00:30:56I'm sick.
00:30:58Can you come here?
00:31:00What is it?
00:31:01What's wrong?
00:31:02His car's here, but he's gone.
00:31:05Won't you come?
00:31:06Okay, okay.
00:31:08Now, you stay put in that house.
00:31:10I'll wait for you.
00:31:11Please, hurry.
00:31:13I'm afraid.
00:31:15Now, take it easy.
00:31:16I'm coming.
00:31:16Mr. Butler, are you done?
00:31:28Tess, I have come back.
00:31:31What's that?
00:31:32Tess, I want to see you again.
00:31:36Hello?
00:31:37Who is this?
00:31:39You know me, Tess.
00:31:41It's Mary Ann.
00:31:43Tell the mayor.
00:31:46Tell them all.
00:31:47I'm waiting in my father's house.
00:31:53Tess, it's so lonesome here.
00:31:58Don't be long.
00:32:03Hello?
00:32:05Hello?
00:32:06Hello?
00:32:07Hello?
00:32:17Oh, my God.
00:32:47Where is everybody?
00:33:04Hello?
00:33:06Oh, Maggie.
00:33:07Thank goodness.
00:33:09What is it, Tess?
00:33:10Something's come up.
00:33:12Something urgent.
00:33:13Can you start early?
00:33:14Oh, honey, I'm watching TV.
00:33:15Maggie Daly, you get yourself over here.
00:33:18Where is it?
00:33:20Just get moving, Maggie.
00:33:22Just please, hurry.
00:33:23Bye-bye.
00:33:25Bye-bye.
00:33:34Bye-bye.
00:33:35Bye-bye.
00:33:46Bye-bye.
00:33:48Let's go.
00:34:18Let's go.
00:34:48Come in.
00:34:58It's open.
00:35:03Okay, mister, that's far enough.
00:35:05What do you want here?
00:35:08Mayor.
00:35:09Try again.
00:35:10My father's not home.
00:35:12And don't move.
00:35:13Do you want me to put my hands up?
00:35:15No.
00:35:16Just stay there.
00:35:19What are you staring at?
00:35:20I seem to remember you from the road.
00:35:22That's why I'm holding a gun.
00:35:24You scare me.
00:35:25That makes sense.
00:35:26Thanks.
00:35:27Does everybody carry one here?
00:35:29You can ask the sheriff when he gets here.
00:35:31I'll call him.
00:35:32I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the sheriff's office is empty.
00:35:37How do you know?
00:35:39I was just there.
00:35:40Who are you?
00:35:44Jeffrey Butler.
00:35:47Oh, you're the one who's selling the house.
00:35:50Yes.
00:35:52Have you any ID?
00:35:54Come on.
00:35:55Don't laugh at me.
00:35:56I want your ID.
00:35:58Some maniac escaped from Margaretville.
00:36:00I want your ID on the table.
00:36:05Okay.
00:36:13Put it on the table.
00:36:19Now go back.
00:36:30California license.
00:36:34Lucky you.
00:36:36Would you like to see my maniac card from the asylum?
00:36:41They'll give you one when you escape.
00:36:43There's a big Scarlet M on it so people won't get confused.
00:36:47Okay.
00:36:48Look, I'm sorry about the gun.
00:36:50My father's in Wilton getting your money.
00:36:55All I want to do is to get into my house.
00:36:57This sheriff's deputy might have a key.
00:37:00He's about the only one I know of.
00:37:03Where's he?
00:37:04You go down the road about a mile and a half
00:37:06till you come to a white house with a white fence
00:37:08and then you can't miss it.
00:37:12Thanks.
00:37:13That's okay.
00:37:15Merry Christmas.
00:37:19Same to you.
00:37:27If I don't call back in an hour.
00:37:30What?
00:37:31Call the mayor.
00:37:33Or Mr. Tone.
00:37:34And nobody else.
00:37:37Promise me you'll do that.
00:37:39Well, sure.
00:37:41Mark it down, honey.
00:37:43So you'll have it.
00:37:45Sheriff to 301.
00:37:47I'm heading west on route 5 to Butler House.
00:37:50You'll hear from me.
00:37:50What the hell?
00:38:03Is that light out there?
00:38:20Is that light?
00:38:23You're a need.
00:38:28All right.
00:38:36Okay.
00:38:38WirING then.
00:38:48Let's go.
00:38:49Oh, my God.
00:39:19Oh, my God.
00:39:41Hi. Did you find the deputy?
00:39:44No, I wasn't there.
00:39:47I was thinking...
00:39:49Isn't your lawyer supposed to be at the house?
00:39:52The door was locked.
00:39:54His car was there, so I borrowed it.
00:39:57You mean you stole a car?
00:39:59Yeah.
00:40:01Keeping it warm.
00:40:03What if he needs it?
00:40:05Let him find me.
00:40:07Who's coming to dinner?
00:40:09Oh, Daddy.
00:40:11We always have dinner every Thursday.
00:40:15Do you want something?
00:40:16No, I ate at Paradise Motel.
00:40:19Yeah, I know. It's awful.
00:40:21What about a drink?
00:40:23Yeah.
00:40:26It's cheap bourbon, but that's a big favorite around here.
00:40:30Do you want ice?
00:40:32No, straight.
00:40:38You look tired.
00:40:40I am tired.
00:40:42Well, here's to a fast dollar.
00:40:44Cheers.
00:40:46Cheers.
00:40:55Why did you decide to sell the house?
00:40:59I needed the cash.
00:41:00After all these years?
00:41:02I need it now.
00:41:08What's it like on the inside?
00:41:12You know, I've never seen the inside.
00:41:14When I was a child, my father told me to stay away from it
00:41:16or something terrible might happen.
00:41:18Sort of like a haunted house.
00:41:22I haven't seen it either.
00:41:24You're gonna sell it and you've never seen it?
00:41:26Yeah.
00:41:29I don't know.
00:41:30It's too bad.
00:41:31It's about the only place to see around here.
00:41:34Oh, I forgot.
00:41:35Someone keeps calling with a message from my father.
00:41:39She says that she's waiting at your house.
00:41:41In the reception room.
00:41:44What woman is waiting in my house in the reception room?
00:41:48Oh, I don't know.
00:41:49It's not a voice that I know.
00:41:55I'd better go out there.
00:41:57Can I come too?
00:41:59What for?
00:42:01I'm pushing.
00:42:05I suppose you'll be going back to California soon.
00:42:11California?
00:42:12You said you lived there, remember?
00:42:14No, I'll be traveling.
00:42:17Jeff, look.
00:42:18It's the sheriff's car.
00:42:24It's the sheriff's car.
00:42:50There's a light.
00:42:51Look at that tombstone.
00:42:57Pretty cheerful.
00:43:01Who bears the cross shall wear the crown.
00:43:04Wilfred Butler.
00:43:06My grandfather.
00:43:14Someone left their sunglasses in the snow.
00:43:17They're the sheriff's.
00:43:18My lawyer's missing.
00:43:21So is the sheriff.
00:43:23You get strange phone calls.
00:43:26And now someone's fascinated by my grandfather's grave.
00:43:31Let's get out of here.
00:43:33You still want to go to my house?
00:43:36Yes.
00:43:38But I don't want to go alone.
00:43:42Listen.
00:43:43I'm not nervous.
00:43:44Well, of course you're not.
00:43:45Oh, it's the cold.
00:43:46I'm shaking from it.
00:43:49Let's get out of here.
00:43:52Okay.
00:43:53We'll get help in town.
00:43:54It's ten minutes drive.
00:44:13Good night, Mr. Towman.
00:44:14Good night, Mr. Towman.
00:44:15Good night, Mr. Towman.
00:44:16Have a nice holiday.
00:44:17Good night, Mr. Towman.
00:44:18Have a nice holiday.
00:44:19Good night, Mr. Towman.
00:44:21Good night, Mr. Towman.
00:44:28Good night, Mr. Towman.
00:44:44Have a nice holiday.
00:44:45All right.
00:45:15All right.
00:45:45All right.
00:45:52All right.
00:46:00Deputy is not here, but Toman is.
00:46:02Who's Toman?
00:46:04Come on, you'll see.
00:46:15Mr. Toman, wait.
00:46:20No, please.
00:46:21I have to talk to you.
00:46:26I'm sorry.
00:46:27This is Jeffrey Butler.
00:46:28He's the one who's selling the house.
00:46:30He can't get inside the place.
00:46:32And my father's gone to Wilton.
00:46:34So we wondered...
00:46:43Anything wrong?
00:46:44Tell us.
00:46:47Tess has gone to his house.
00:46:51Why would she go there?
00:46:53I don't know.
00:46:56Anyway, she won't get in.
00:46:57You say it's locked.
00:47:02It says she hates the place.
00:47:04Would you like to drive there?
00:47:06Diana could stay here and lock herself in.
00:47:09I need a key.
00:47:13I need a key.
00:47:14I need a key.
00:47:43Noman, this isn't my house.
00:48:08Roman, this isn't my house. It's Tess's.
00:48:38Well, Tess isn't here. Are you satisfied?
00:48:47She must have gone to my place.
00:48:50Why wouldn't she go there?
00:48:56She hates it.
00:49:01Maybe she went to see the woman who's there.
00:49:04Someone called the mayor's house before.
00:49:06Said she'd be waiting.
00:49:15What is it?
00:49:36I can't see her!
00:49:37I can't see her!
00:49:45Hello, Jeff.
00:49:46Hello, Jeff?
00:50:04Hello.
00:50:07Is anybody there?
00:50:09Who is this?
00:50:13I'm Diane Adams.
00:50:15I spoke to you before.
00:50:18Bring your father to the house.
00:50:23This is Marianne.
00:50:26Tell him I have the diary. I'm waiting.
00:50:32Who are you?
00:50:35He'll know. Christmas Eve, 1935.
00:50:45Hello? Hello?
00:50:47Hello?
00:50:49Hello?
00:50:52Hello?
00:50:53Hello?
00:50:55Hello?
00:50:57Hello?
00:50:585, 6, 7, 8, 7, 0, 4, signal 10, 7, 0, 4, seat Charlie, 7, 0, 4, signal 10, 7, 0, 4, seat Charlie.
00:52:28Sheriff, I saw your car.
00:52:35Bill?
00:52:51Bill?
00:52:53Is that you?
00:52:55You can't see me, but I can see you.
00:53:11Oh, yes, I remember that face.
00:53:23You're older now, and fatter, but still, Tess.
00:53:38And you're frightened, aren't you?
00:53:43Don't be afraid.
00:53:47I want to help you.
00:53:50Take my hand.
00:53:52Take it, Tess.
00:53:56The person on the telephone said 1935, Christmas Eve.
00:54:15But that's not the beginning.
00:54:19In 1927, Butler House was restored by Wilfred Butler.
00:54:24After that, I find social notes, parties, nothing special.
00:54:30In 1930, Butler's wife, Catherine, dies of tuberculosis.
00:54:36In August 1933, it starts.
00:54:40Wilfred Butler's daughter is cruelly attacked and raped.
00:54:45Her name is Mary Ann, the same name as the caller who left those messages tonight.
00:54:52She's 15 then.
00:54:55On May 2nd, 1934, Mary Ann Butler gives birth to a son, Jeffrey Butler, Jeff.
00:55:08Early in 1935, Butler House is turned over to a Dr. Robinson as an asylum for mental patients.
00:55:17And then Butler goes on to say that he has committed his own daughter.
00:55:23Mary Ann will live at the asylum.
00:55:27There's no end to this story.
00:55:29It's been carefully cut out of all the papers.
00:55:32Why would Toman do that?
00:55:53She scared me.
00:56:12What happened?
00:56:22What happened is Tess has 40 bird cages.
00:56:28Toman is hysterical.
00:56:30Everybody's at my hospital.
00:56:31Me, it's cold outside and you forgot to lock the door.
00:56:36Jeff, how old are you?
00:56:39How old am I?
00:56:40You mean how many years have I lived?
00:56:42I don't know.
00:56:43There's a lot in the paper about your family.
00:56:45I don't want to talk about my family.
00:56:48Wait a minute.
00:56:49There's a woman calling and she says her name is Mary Ann.
00:56:53That was your mother's name, wasn't it?
00:56:55My mother died in childbirth.
00:56:59That's when I started traveling.
00:57:01It's not what the papers say.
00:57:05What's your point?
00:57:07I just thought that you should read something for your own good.
00:57:13Nothing you could tell me about my past or future would be for my own good.
00:57:26It's so stupid to lie.
00:57:48You missed the whole event.
00:57:52Jeff, maybe your mother's still alive.
00:57:55Maybe she's waiting for you at the house.
00:57:59I don't know.
00:58:03Come on.
00:58:08No more side trips.
00:58:11Let's go out there.
00:58:16Whoo!
00:58:25Whoo!
00:58:26Whoo!
00:58:27Whoo!
00:58:28THE END
00:58:58The Atonement's car!
00:59:08It's empty.
00:59:28Jeff, look!
00:59:34Oh, my God!
00:59:36Stay back!
00:59:38It's Talman!
00:59:40Stay back!
00:59:42Oh, my God!
00:59:44Stay back!
00:59:46It's Talman!
00:59:48Stay back!
00:59:50Stay back!
00:59:52Oh, my God!
00:59:54Oh, my God!
00:59:56Oh, my God!
00:59:58Oh, my God!
01:00:00Oh, my God!
01:00:20She's dead.
01:00:22Oh, my God!
01:00:24Come on.
01:00:54His hands.
01:01:02Somebody cut off his hands.
01:01:05You killed him.
01:01:07You killed Tolman.
01:01:10He's asking for help.
01:01:12You killed him.
01:01:17Get in the car.
01:01:24Get in the car.
01:01:54Get in the car.
01:02:24Get in the car.
01:02:28But for us.
01:02:32The keys.
01:02:34He took them.
01:02:35Get in the car.
01:02:46The keys.
01:02:49Hello?
01:03:10Hello, Mr. Mayor.
01:03:13Yes, what?
01:03:15This is Marianne Butler.
01:03:17I'm calling from my house.
01:03:21Won't you come over here, Mr. Mayor?
01:03:25We're having a reunion.
01:03:29Everyone's here.
01:03:32Even your daughter.
01:03:47What?
01:03:49We're meeting her, Mr. Mayor.
01:03:53I'm going to get back to the house, Mr. Mayor.
01:03:59You know what?
01:04:01Let's go.
01:06:03I remembered what she had been.
01:06:10There was never a lovelier, happier child.
01:06:13Ladies and gentlemen, quiet please.
01:06:36By Christmas of the first year, I knew that I must act, not for myself, but for my helpless child.
01:06:48I had led him to create this institution, our friend.
01:06:51I had no plan.
01:06:53All I knew was that I must take her from these men with their promises, their lies.
01:07:01Shall we?
01:07:01All right.
01:07:02For he's a jolly good fellow.
01:07:11For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow, which nobody can deny, which nobody can deny, which nobody can deny.
01:07:23I knew that they would gorge themselves into a stupor that afternoon.
01:07:34It was their celebration.
01:07:35It was their celebration.
01:07:37I expected no less.
01:07:40Since they had come into my house, they had acted as if they owned it.
01:07:44They had behaved like poor relations, half guilty, but finally unable to control their appetites.
01:07:52They had acted as if they had done these, half guilty, and they'd be a good boy, and they'd be a good boy.
01:08:17after dinner they danced and drank as they usually did
01:08:28all the time Robinson would smile and reassure me
01:08:32they expected me to believe
01:08:35because I had no choice
01:08:37Wilfred, trust me
01:08:41he really believed Marianne would be well
01:08:46he saw a light
01:08:48there is a light at the end of a long tunnel
01:08:51believe me
01:08:52there is a light
01:08:55at the end of a long tunnel
01:08:59stay here doctor
01:09:07I'll get more champagne
01:09:10he was ready
01:09:11I knew it
01:09:12drunk and fat and full of his own importance
01:09:15I left them
01:09:18he had to leave
01:09:19I figured he loved them
01:09:21of the horror
01:09:22as they spoke about
01:09:24the machined
01:09:25attitude
01:09:27small
01:09:27vigilant
01:09:28he's another
01:09:30company
01:09:31yes
01:09:31and
01:09:36I love you
01:11:08I had fathered our child, Geoffrey.
01:11:11I had brought her to this.
01:11:15But I swear that on that afternoon, all I wanted was to save my child.
01:11:20My hope was to get her away from that house.
01:11:39But also, I wanted to set free those other wretches who had so long been abused by the doctors.
01:11:45And I wanted to set free those other wretches.
01:12:15I knew what they might do if these inmates were freed.
01:12:20And this is my guilt.
01:12:24I knew.
01:12:26And still, I freed them.
01:12:29And I think it was mysecondary death.
01:12:34It's my fault.
01:12:36I took them to what they were saying they had to come to me when they cleaned them, and then...
01:12:44So, therefore, let me give them.
01:12:45But that's how I made it.
01:12:47I didn't think so.
01:18:30Jeff.
01:18:43Jeff.
01:18:46Wilfred Butler is still alive.
01:18:50This is still his house.
01:18:55Your grandfather died in 1950.
01:18:59He was burned to death.
01:19:01In this house.
01:19:03My grandfather poured gasoline over a squatter he found here.
01:19:09But Tom wanted to believe he was dead.
01:19:13They still do.
01:19:21This house was an asylum.
01:19:24There was a massacre by the inmates.
01:19:27Tess.
01:19:29Toeman.
01:19:30The sheriff.
01:19:32Your father.
01:19:34No.
01:19:35All inmates.
01:19:37They killed my mother.
01:19:38In this room.
01:19:39Don't stop.
01:19:39Off.
01:19:40No.
01:19:56No.
01:19:58Who's there?
01:20:08Who's there?
01:20:28Butler.
01:20:47Oh, no.
01:20:55No, no, my God, no.
01:21:10Daddy, Daddy.
01:21:17Diane.
01:21:20Jeff, Jeff, no.
01:21:25Jeff, why?
01:21:27Why?
01:21:28Sorry.
01:21:32Marianne.
01:21:35Marianne.
01:21:40Don't run away.
01:21:41Don't.
01:21:42I'm your father.
01:21:45Don't be afraid.
01:21:46I won't hurt you.
01:21:48Please.
01:21:49It's all right.
01:21:51I need you.

01:22:09Oh
01:22:39I spent that night weeping.
01:22:49By morning there were no more tears.
01:22:57I know that my father and Jeffrey both thought they were shooting at killers.
01:23:02But they were simply the last victims in that house of victims.
01:23:09And now, a year later, they will tear down Wilfred Butler's monument.
01:23:17But they can never destroy my memories of what happened here.
