Short filmTranscript
00:00While we were playing hide and seek, I locked my daughter in the wardrobe where she was hiding, and never
00:05opened it again.
00:06Hide well, I'll come find you later.
00:15Then the rest of us Zanes ran. My wife, Helen, my son, Aaron. And I moved away as quickly as
00:21we could.
00:2520 years later, I came back to bury her. I stood in front of that damn wardrobe. And then...
00:33Daddy? Daddy? Daddy? Daddy?
00:54You finally found me, Daddy?
00:59It all started when Aaron was preparing to get married. His future in-laws insisted that both families see a
01:05psychic before the wedding. They believed the marriage should begin with a proper blessing. So my wife and I went.
01:10We thought it would be a formality. But after the reading, the psychic looked up at us with a grave
01:15expression and said,
01:16You have another child, don't you? One who hasn't come home in years.
01:23My stomach dropped. I turned to Helen. She looked pale as hell. She knew what I was thinking. The psychic
01:30kept going.
01:31A marriage like this needs the whole family present. If someone's been left behind, whatever is following them will follow
01:38the couple too.
01:39What do you mean, following them?
01:41The old man just shook his head. Better not to ask. You have a daughter, don't you?
01:47Yes. But...
01:49It's her. She's been begging to come home and she's become something powerful.
01:54I was confused. My daughter was dead. Dead for 20 years. How could she want to come home? How could
02:00she be powerful?
02:01Some spirits don't rest easy. Not when something was left unfinished. Your family has a missing piece. And that kind
02:08of absence doesn't stay buried. Go home. Make your family whole again. Then come see me.
02:14We left. Faster than we had arrived. Back home. Helen sat on the couch. Trembling.
02:21What do we do? We moved. We ran. We left her there. How are we supposed to bring her home
02:27now?
02:28I ran my hands through my hair. Anxious. Aaron was engaged. Our future daughter-in-law's family was rich and
02:34prominent. Her people had money. And influence, more than we ever would. Aaron couldn't afford to lose a match like
02:41this.
02:41I couldn't let the ghost of our daughter stand in the way. I had to find a way to deal
02:45with it, with her.
02:50My daughter's name was Katie. If she were still alive. She would have been 28 this year. When Katie was
02:568, my wife, Helen. And I decided to move to the city for work.
03:00Life was hard enough already. And trying to start over with 2 young children felt impossible. The day before we
03:06left. Helen suddenly said she didn't want to take Katie with us.
03:09She only wanted to bring our 7-year-old son, Aaron. My parents were already dead. There were no grandparents
03:15to leave Katie with. If we didn't take her, there would be no one to care for her.
03:19She doesn't need anyone to care for her. We'll lock her in the house and act like she was never
03:24born.
03:24I stared at her, stunned, but she didn't seem bothered in the slightest.
03:28What's so shocking about that?
03:31We can't afford to drag two kids into a new life. One of them was always going to slow us
03:35down. Aaron comes with us. Katie stays.
03:39But-
03:40Enough!
03:43I've made up my mind. Just do what I say.
03:48Tomorrow, I'll show you exactly what to do.
03:50So, Helen had always favored our son over our daughter. And once she decided something. There was no changing her
03:56mind.
03:57The next day, we packed as usual. Katie and Aaron were both excited, running back and forth, stuffing their toys
04:03into the bags.
04:04When it was almost time to leave, Helen gave me a look. I knew exactly what she meant.
04:09I hesitated for a long time, but in the end, I walked over to Katie.
04:19Katie, Daddy's tired from packing. Wanna play hide-and-seek?
04:22Katie frowned. She never liked hide-and-seek much.
04:26I don't wanna play. I wanna help pack.
04:29Then Aaron chimed in at exactly the wrong moment.
04:32I wanna play! Katie, please play with us!
04:35I rarely spent time playing with the children. Aaron was always eager for any scrap of attention from me.
04:40Under her brother's pleading, Katie finally gave in. So I played along for a while.
04:45Fake smiles. Fake laughter. Pretending everything was normal.
04:49Then Helen gave me another look. The bags were packed. Everything was ready. It was time.
04:55Last round. This time Katie hides, and Aaron and I will look for her.
05:01Katie, you'd better find a really good spot.
05:03Helen joined in with a smile that made my skin crawl.
05:07Don't worry. I know the perfect hiding place.
05:11They'll never find you there. Come on, sweetheart. Mommy will take you.
05:17She led Katie toward the storage shed.
05:19No one but Helen and I knew there was a cellar underneath it.
05:22My great-grandfather had dug it years ago to store grain in case of famine.
05:26Later, when life got better, it was abandoned and left to rot.
05:30There was an old wardrobe down there.
05:31It had been there for as long as I could remember.
05:34It was thick, heavy, and impossible for a child to open.
05:43When Helen led Katie down into the cellar, I saw the padlock in her hand.
05:47A little while later, Helen came back up. Alone.
05:51That same night, we called the police and told them our daughter was missing.
05:54Back then, child trafficking cases were all over the news.
05:57And Helen cried so hard in front of the officers that no one ever suspected us.
06:01Twenty years passed in the blink of an eye.
06:04We went back to our hometown a few times after that.
06:06But Helen and I never spoke about what we had done.
06:09We never went down into the cellar, either.
06:11But this time, for Aaron's wedding, I had no choice.
06:15The psychic had made it clear, our family had a missing piece.
06:18Katie had never been laid to rest.
06:20If I wanted nothing to interfere with my son's marriage, I had to go back.
06:24I had to find her. And bury her properly.
06:26Helen said.
06:28Then go. Right now.
06:30Whatever you do.
06:33Don't let this ruin Aaron's wedding.
06:36I drove back to my hometown that night.
06:38The house was an old single-story place.
06:40I kept all the lights off the whole time.
06:42Afraid the neighbors might notice something strange.
06:45I found the shed.
06:46And the concrete slab covering the entrance.
06:48The moment I lifted it, I felt something was off.
06:51A gust of wind came up from below.
06:53Cold. Sharp.
06:55It hit me right in the face.
06:56And that wasn't all.
06:57The instant I opened it, I heard a bang.
07:00Heavy.
07:01Dull.
07:02Solid.
07:02Like something had suddenly slammed into the wardrobe underground.
07:08I held my breath and listened carefully.
07:11A few minutes passed.
07:12The strange sound didn't come again.
07:14Just a rat.
07:14Just a damn rat.
07:16I went down to the basement.
07:17Same as 20 years ago.
07:19Empty.
07:19Dark.
07:20Flashlight swept the space.
07:21Only that wardrobe in the corner.
07:23Paint peeling.
07:24Padlock still locked.
07:25No smell.
07:2620 years had passed.
07:27Katie must have decomposed beyond recognition by now.
07:30Any smell would have long since faded.
07:32I let out a breath.
07:33Then I took out the key Helen had given me.
07:35And reached for the lock.
07:36Suddenly.
07:38My first thought was that someone had followed me.
07:41Who's there?
07:42Who's here?
07:43I looked around carefully.
07:44No one.
07:45But in the corner, I found a dried up carcass.
07:47Didn't matter.
07:48I went back to the wardrobe.
07:49Took a deep breath.
07:50Tried to calm myself down.
07:51I was too nervous.
07:53That had to be.
07:54This time, I heard it clearly.
07:56It came from inside the wardrobe right in front of me.
07:58Daddy.
08:00Daddy, is that you?
08:03I've been waiting for you for so long.
08:06I'm right here in the wardrobe.
08:12Holy shit.
08:13It really was Katie's voice.
08:15How was that possible?
08:16Daddy?
08:17Why aren't you talking to me?
08:21Open the door.
08:22She still sounded like that same little eight-year-old girl.
08:25How was that possible?
08:26Locked inside an airtight wardrobe for 20 years.
08:29Even if she hadn't suffocated, she would have starved to death.
08:32So what the hell was inside that wardrobe?
08:42Open the door.
08:43I want help.
08:46Daddy.
08:53The wind.
08:54The thud.
08:54The voice.
08:55Wayne, are you making this up because you're too scared to bury Katie?
08:58How could something this creepy even be real?
09:00I swear.
09:01I heard her.
09:02She's still in there.
09:03Fine.
09:04If you're too much of a coward, I'll do it myself.
09:06She slammed the door and left.
09:08I sat on the couch, trying to process everything that just happened.
09:11I cracked open a six-pack.
09:13Drank until my hands stopped shaking.
09:14How?
09:15How could a child survive in a sealed metal box for 20 years?
09:18No air.
09:19No food.
09:19No water.
09:20Unless it was a ghost.
09:21But how could a ghost be trapped inside the wardrobe?
09:24Why did it knock?
09:25Why did it sound like her?
09:26With all these thoughts, I passed out.
09:28And woke up to screams.
09:29Helen was shaking me.
09:31Her hair was matted with dirt.
09:32Her jacket was torn.
09:33Her eyes were wide.
09:34You went back?
09:35I went down there.
09:37I heard it.
09:38That voice.
09:39Everything.
09:41What did you do?
09:42I opened the door.
09:49I couldn't process what she had just said.
09:51I slowly turned toward the door.
09:52There she was.
09:53Wearing the exact yellow dress with tiny blue flowers.
09:56Her hair was tied into two neat ponytails.
09:58It was as if she had only been gone for 20 minutes.
10:01Daddy.
10:02I'm home.
10:03My heart stopped.
10:04It was definitely Katie.
10:05My daughter.
10:06The one we had buried alive.
10:07Don't.
10:08Don't come closer.
10:09She stopped.
10:10Just stood there.
10:11Obedient.
10:11Just like she had always been.
10:13This is impossible.
10:14She'd be dust.
10:16She'd be gone.
10:17What do you mean, Mommy?
10:18I'm right here.
10:20Nothing, sweetheart.
10:21Mommy is just upset.
10:24Wow.
10:24Is this where we live now?
10:26I love it.
10:26I want to stay here forever.
10:29By the way, Daddy, where's Aaron?
10:33Didn't he want to play hide and seek?
10:40Well, he went out to take care of something.
10:43Helen evasively explained.
10:45Yeah.
10:46I greased him to something on me if I sent anymore.
10:50Lear.
10:52Kids don't have things to take care of.
10:55Katie, sweetie, Daddy and I need to talk.
10:58Just for a minute.
10:59Helen was so overwhelmed.
11:01She grabbed my arm and shouted.
11:04You play for a bit?
11:05Helen didn't wait for her answer.
11:07She shut the bedroom door and whispered.
11:10Is she human?
11:13How would I know you were the one who let her out?
11:16Oh, God the crap.
11:18Like I know any better.
11:20Jesus.
11:21Let's just...
11:21Let's just...
11:23She took a knife out of the drawer.
11:29No, no.
11:30You can't just kill her.
11:33She's...
11:33Katie.
11:35Our little girl.
11:38We already killed her once, Wayne.
11:41What difference does it make this time?
11:43I snatched the knife from her hand.
11:45No.
11:47Not again.
11:56But I couldn't tell Helen about this.
11:58I really missed Katie.
11:59How I had tricked my little girl.
12:01How I had betrayed her trust.
12:02How she had looked at me with those innocent eyes.
12:05And now.
12:06She came back.
12:07Maybe, maybe this was my second chance.
12:10However, I still had to figure out why she hadn't aged and what had happened to her all
12:14those years.
12:14Helen was still hesitating.
12:16Then she continued.
12:18Are you out of your mind?
12:19If they find out we buried her, our son's son's life is over.
12:23No job.
12:24No future.
12:26No grandkids.
12:28Suddenly, an idea flashed into my mind.
12:33I opened the drawer and took out a business card.
12:35A private investigator's business card.
12:40The one I'd found shoved under our door weeks ago.
12:45Helen frowned.
12:47Where did you even get this?
12:49None of your business.
12:51Anyway, he's our only shot.
12:55She had been going out a lot lately.
12:57And I had started to suspect that she was cheating on me.
13:01I dialed.
13:02A young voice answered.
13:04Hello?
13:05Mr. Shaw?
13:08Yes, how can I help you?
13:09I told him everything.
13:11The silence was long enough to make me think he had hung up.
13:14Finally, he said doubtfully.
13:15So?
13:17You mean your daughter stayed in the wardrobe for 20 years?
13:20She doesn't eat, doesn't drink, doesn't age?
13:22Just still ate?
13:24Well, that's about it.
13:26I've never heard anything like this.
13:28Very interesting.
13:29I'll take the case.
13:31But you better bring her to me.
13:32I want to see this miracle with my own eyes.
13:35I hung up.
13:36Walked back into the living room.
13:38Katie was curled up on the couch.
13:40Her head rested on her arm.
13:42Her eyes half closed.
13:43She smiled when she saw me.
13:45Daddy?
13:46Are we going to see a friend?
13:48Yeah, sweetheart.
13:50Just for a little while.
13:52Do you want to come with me?
13:54She climbed right onto my lap.
13:56Just like she used to.
13:58Of course, Daddy.
14:00I always want to stay with you.
14:09I met Jamie Shaw, a private investigator.
14:12He poured me some tea and gave Katie something sweet.
14:15He chatted with her about normal kid stuff.
14:17Favorite books, cartoons, and games.
14:20Katie answered the same thing she would have answered 20 years ago.
14:24After a while, he pulled me aside.
14:26Mr. Zane, it does seem that your daughter really came from 20 years ago.
14:32This is the most unusual case I've ever seen in my career.
14:35Have you ever heard the theory that there are strange spaces in this world where time moves abnormally?
14:39Sometimes much faster?
14:41Sometimes much slower?
14:42What?
14:44Something like that really exists?
14:48Out here?
14:4920 years.
14:50In that wardrobe?
14:51Maybe only three days.
14:54She didn't age because she never left the moment who locked her in.
14:59He pulled an old newspaper clipping from the shelf.
15:06He pulled an old newspaper clipping from the shelf.
15:101892.
15:11A man was stranded on a remote island for 25 years.
15:16When he was rescued, aside from his grown-out beard, he hadn't changed a bit.
15:20My hands shook.
15:21That's real?
15:23Real enough to be recorded.
15:24So, she's not dead.
15:29She's frozen.
15:30This case is too strange, so I've decided not to charge you.
15:34I want to know what is really going on as well.
15:37Also, I would suggest a paternity test.
15:40From a biological standpoint, it would tell you whether she's biologically your daughter.
15:45How much would that cost?
15:502,000.
15:51But I know a lab that'll do it cheaper.
15:54I thought of my son's wedding expenses.
15:56Everything cost money.
16:01No need.
16:02I know my own daughter.
16:06Alright.
16:07Then let's head to your old home now.
16:09I'd like to run an experiment in that wardrobe.
16:15The experiment was simple.
16:16Even a rough man like me could understand it.
16:19Jamie put a candle in the wardrobe.
16:23This thing is big enough, so there's plenty of air inside.
16:26Normally, the candle should burn out in about two hours.
16:29I'll light it now and come back tomorrow.
16:31If it burns out, our guess is wrong.
16:33If it has barely burned down, then time really does move slower in there.
16:37To be safe, he also put a popsicle inside as a second check.
16:43After that, I took Katie home.
16:48Katie was tired.
16:49She curled up on the couch right after we got home.
17:03I froze for a moment, as if I had gone back 20 years.
17:09I was exhausted, and the scolding almost slipped out.
17:12But when I looked down into Katie's dark eyes, I swallowed the words.
17:16I helped her wash her hair.
17:17Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are.
17:24She looked up at me.
17:27Daddy, do you like my song?
17:30Of course, sweetheart.
17:31I love it.
17:32She giggled.
17:34Then,
17:35Daddy, why'd you take so long to come find me?
17:39I looked away.
17:40I was busy.
17:43But Daddy, I waited for you for so long.
17:45Why didn't you come find me?
17:48Just as I was about to lose my temper, I suddenly cried out.
17:51The daughter lying on my lap had somehow turned into a dried corpse.
17:54Her body was shriveled and yellow, and her eye sockets had become two hollow pits.
17:58But her mouth was still opening and closing.
18:04Daddy,
18:06why didn't you come?
18:13I screamed, grabbed her, and shoved her face into the water.
18:17She thrashed and yelled.
18:20Mommy!
18:22Mommy!
18:23Mommy!
18:24Daddy, kill her!
18:25She was a monster.
18:26She was not my daughter.
18:29Helen stormed in.
18:30What the hell are you doing?
18:34She's not Katie.
18:35She's a...
18:36I looked down and froze again.
18:38The dried corpse in the basin had turned back into a normal child.
18:42Daddy, you're hurting me.
18:45On her neck was a long red scratch from my nails.
18:53Didn't you say you were gonna treat her well?
18:58I wasn't trying to hurt her.
19:00She...
19:00Katie sniffled.
19:01Is Daddy drunk again?
19:03Shh.
19:04It's okay.
19:05Mommy's here.
19:09My eyes fixed on the mirror.
19:11There she was in the reflection, curled in Helen's arms.
19:14She looked pitiful as she cried in Helen's arms.
19:17But the corners of her mouth were curled into a dark, eerie smile.
19:24That night, Katie insisted on sleeping in our room.
19:27Not a chance.
19:28I'd sooner stay awake till dawn than lie next to that thing.
19:32So I took a blanket and camped out on the couch, half awake all night, one eye open,
19:37listening for the slightest sound.
19:39I told myself I only had to get through one night.
19:42Once Jamie's results came in, I'd take care of her.
19:45I wasn't about to let a monster keep breathing under my roof.
19:49The next morning, the first news I got wasn't Jamie's result.
19:52It was that Aaron was coming home.
19:54My heart lurched.
19:56No.
19:57Absolutely not.
19:58Aaron could not see Katie.
20:00I still didn't know what she was.
20:02A child, a ghost, or something worse.
20:05But if anything happened to Aaron, my whole life would go down with him.
20:09Katie was at the table eating breakfast when I waved her over.
20:13I was going to shut her in the guest room until I figured out the next move.
20:17But the second I stepped toward her, she drew back.
20:20Are you trying to make me hide in the wardrobe again?
20:23I was already rolling up my sleeves, ready to force her if I had to.
20:27Aaron's back.
20:29Did he call you?
20:30Katie lit up at once.
20:31Aaron's home?
20:32Before I could stop her, she flew out the door barefoot.
20:36What the hell is wrong with you?
20:39Why would you tell her Aaron was back?
20:42She shrank right in front of me, instinctively throwing her arm over her head.
20:46Her forearm was a mess.
20:48Purple bruises, yellowing marks, old scars crossing over new ones.
20:53I ran after Katie.
20:54By the time I got downstairs, she was already at the building entrance.
20:59Aaron had just stepped inside.
21:00And there he was, rooted to the spot, staring at her like the dead had come back wearing
21:06a child's face.
21:07Confusion, disbelief, and dread filled his eyes.
21:10His lips trembled.
21:12Then, barely audible, he said.
21:15Beside him stood his fiancée.
21:19I was rattled now.
21:21One suspicious look from Sophia, and Aaron's marriage could be dead before it started.
21:26And she was sharp.
21:28Sharper than I liked.
21:29Who is she?
21:35She's Aaron's sister.
21:37Sister?
21:37Since when?
21:39Aaron never said he had a sister.
21:42She looks just like him.
21:44There was no way I was letting Sophia's family hear the truth.
21:47Then came the worst possible sentence.
21:50Wait.
21:51Is she his daughter?
21:54No, no, of course not.
21:56Sophia, come on.
21:57She's my daughter.
21:58How could she possibly be Aaron's?
21:59He's far too young to have a child that old.
22:01So your family lied.
22:02You told us Aaron was an only child.
22:04And now I'm supposed to find out like this that he has a sister?
22:07You don't leave out something like that by accident.
22:09If you were willing to hide this, then what else are you hiding?
22:11How am I supposed to trust any of you now?
22:13Then she looked at Aaron, disappointment written all over her face.
22:17I'm going home to talk to my parents.
22:20I care about you.
22:21But I can't be with someone who lies to me.
22:23And just like that, she turned and walked away.
22:25But he didn't move.
22:26What are you waiting for?
22:27Go after her.
22:28Forget it.
22:29I was never an only child.
22:30I didn't want to lie anymore.
22:32I never really wanted to get married.
22:34His face was calm.
22:35If Sophia decides to call it off, maybe that's for the best.
22:38I nearly lost my mind.
22:40If we hadn't been standing in the middle of the building lobby, I would have slapped him then and there.
22:44That was Aaron.
22:45Always Aaron.
22:46Too soft.
22:47Too timid.
22:48And never able to stand up for himself.
22:50What had I raised him for?
22:51To watch him throw away a good marriage without a fight.
22:55Are you really Katie Zane?
22:58Yes.
22:58I'm your sister.
23:02Wow, you got so tall.
23:04I was only hiding for a little while.
23:08How did you grow up so much?
23:11The moment those words left her mouth, something in Aaron shattered.
23:15I saw it.
23:16His expression darkened.
23:18His eyes went hollow.
23:19Like some old wound had split back open right in front of me.
23:23And then he cried.
23:24Tears streaming down his face in front of everyone.
23:27I clenched my fists so tight my bones ached.
23:30That girl had already done enough damage.
23:33Now she was ruining Aaron's marriage too.
23:35She had to go back in the wardrobe.
23:37If time really stopped in there, then fine.
23:40She could stay in the dark another 20 years.
23:4330.
23:44Forever, if that's what it took.
23:46Maybe I'd never let her out again.
23:48If Aaron could still marry Sophia, I'd be fine.
23:52Her family had money.
23:53Enough to make this whole mess go away.
23:55As long as the marriage was still on the table, there was still a way out.
24:00So I pulled out my phone and called Jamie for the test result.
24:03He picked up right away.
24:05I was just about to call you.
24:06I'm at your old house.
24:07You need to get over here and see this.
24:15Jamie brought in three massive work lights, and the cellar lit up bright as day.
24:20I'd already braced myself for the worst.
24:22The second I saw it with my own eyes, I was still stunned.
24:26Inside the wardrobe, the white candle had barely burned.
24:30It was almost completely intact.
24:32Even the popsicle was still frozen solid.
24:35Wayne, looks like we were right.
24:37Time really does stop in there.
24:39Thank God.
24:40That meant Katie wasn't a ghost.
24:43She really hadn't died.
24:45Dealing with a ghost would have been a pain in the ass.
24:47Controlling a little girl, that was easy.
24:50My son was about to get married, so my daughter was just gonna have to keep staying in the wardrobe
24:54a little longer.
24:55Oh, and one more thing.
24:56Can you help me out?
24:57I need a clean story for why Katie suddenly showed up.
25:00Something polished enough to calm Sophia down, shut the whole thing down, and get her to
25:04go through with marrying my son.
25:06We'll say she's a friend's kid.
25:08No real connection to this family.
25:10And back then, because of some complicated situation, I only pretended to be her father
25:16to protect her.
25:17Sure.
25:18That part's easy.
25:19I'm good at stuff like that.
25:21And the price?
25:22Still free.
25:24This isn't hard.
25:25Honestly, I should be thanking you.
25:28Because of you, I got to witness what this wardrobe can really do.
25:32That pleased me.
25:33He didn't look like much, but there was more to him than I'd thought.
25:37If Katie had grown up, and if the money made sense, I might have even considered marrying
25:42my daughter off to him.
25:43Although, I looked at him.
25:46What?
25:47Wayne, if I'm handling everything you asked for free, the least you can do is show me a
25:52little respect.
25:53I frowned.
25:53What the hell is that supposed to mean?
25:55How have I disrespected you?
25:57You lied.
