00:13I don't know what to do.
00:35The wheel is 264 feet, Jeff. Can you imagine it?
00:40I'm attempting to.
00:42I bet you can see for a hundred miles at the top.
00:45We should make that our first priority.
00:50Whatever pleases you the most.
00:52You please me the most.
00:54You mean you are not weary of me after an entire day of marriage?
00:58I will never be weary of you.
01:01I shall hold you to that, my dear.
01:09I think we've arrived.
01:21Isn't this grand?
01:23As advertised.
01:25Very nice.
01:32Let's check in.
01:44Are we the only ones here?
01:46I'm sure that was a mad dash first thing this morning to get to the fair.
01:58Try again?
02:17Well, this does not bode well for the level of service we're in store for.
02:34It must be a small staff and everyone is busy.
02:39Slow service.
02:40That means they're making sure everything is perfect.
02:43That's my Marie, always finding that silver lining.
02:49My sincere apologies for both startling you and for making you wait.
02:56My attention was needed elsewhere.
03:06I promise from here on out it will be nothing but silver linings.
03:13Welcome to the World's Fair Hotel.
03:19Please sign in here.
03:22First time in Chicago?
03:25I'm going to hazard a guess and assume you're here to take in the exposition.
03:29The fair, yes, but that's not all.
03:33Today is a very special day for us.
03:38Oh, a honeymoon.
03:41How very, very lovely.
03:51Perhaps my wife, Mrs. Whitman, would like to sign.
03:57Yes, today is the beginning of our honeymoon.
04:03Congratulations.
04:05In that case, an upgrade is in order.
04:09A honeymoon suite it is.
04:11Oh, well, uh, are the rates that much higher?
04:16Hmph.
04:18I think nothing of it.
04:20The same rates as your regular room.
04:23The upgrade is on us.
04:25You're our first honeymooners.
04:29How kind.
04:30Thank you, Mr. Holmes.
04:34Henry Howard Holmes.
04:37You have a lovely hotel, Mr. Holmes.
04:40Well, thank you very much.
04:41I designed and built most of it myself.
04:44You're an architect then?
04:47Architect, designer, builder, doctor, artist.
04:55I'm a man of many interests.
04:59Impressive.
05:01Please, have a look around.
05:03We have sundries and gifts at the pharmacy counter.
05:06I'll take your luggage up to your room and ensure that everything is in order.
05:12Just make a note if you decide to purchase anything, and we will add it to your bill.
05:21Thank you, Mr. Holmes.
05:24We appreciate it.
05:26The pleasure is all mine.
05:50The pleasure is all mine.
05:55Now, what did I forget to bring?
06:14Oh, pardon me, miss.
06:17Careful, you.
06:19My husband gets awfully cross with men who act fresh.
06:22Hmm, he sounds like a ripe fellow.
06:25How's the marriage going?
06:28Lovely. Thanks for asking.
06:31Well, let's just head up. I'm sure the room is ready.
06:35See anything good over there at the jewelry counter?
06:38Anything fancy?
06:40Wouldn't you like to know?
07:00I wonder what's in here.
07:05I'm starting to think I've gone and married a thrill seeker.
07:09Ferris wheels, forbidden rooms.
07:12Are we looking for excitement?
07:15Perhaps.
07:20Nothing but an unfinished room.
07:23See what happens when you chase a thrill?
07:26If this is you trying to get out of the Ferris wheel...
07:28I know you won't be denied.
07:31Wait.
07:32What's that?
07:39Don't move.
07:51Sorry.
07:55Are we lost?
07:59A wrong turn, it would seem.
08:01This room is being renovated.
08:03It's not safe.
08:05Of course.
08:06We...
08:07You must have missed the sign saying private.
08:11Must have.
08:13We're very sorry.
08:14I can't have you falling through floors and having your brains dashed out, can I?
08:20No.
08:22Again, we apologize.
08:26Think nothing of it.
08:28I'm only thinking of your safety.
08:30Wouldn't want you to get hurt.
08:34Hmph.
08:46Welcome, newlyweds, to the honeymoon suite.
08:51Thank you kindly, Mr. Holmes.
08:55Do enjoy your stay.
08:57If you'll excuse me, I have work to return to.
09:03I'm sure we'll see each other again soon.
09:14Goodness, this place is fit for a king.
09:18Or my queen.
09:20Oh, you.
09:24Kiss this.
09:26That is not very wifely of you.
09:31Hey!
09:32Ah!
09:33Bullseye!
09:34You asked for it.
09:55Oh, my God.
10:11Victory!
10:14You cheated!
10:22I have something for you.
10:25Are you going to throw it at me?
10:27No. An actual gift.
10:40Close your eyes and face the mirror.
10:44Aren't you clever and romantic?
10:47If I get a pillow to the face, I will sock you right in the kisser.
10:54Is there a problem?
10:56No.
10:59Now, open your eyes.
11:03Oh, Jeff, it's lovely.
11:06I love it.
11:07Good.
11:08Victory is mine.
11:10I'll let you have that bath now.
11:41I'll let you have that bath now.
11:47It's jammed shut.
11:50Maybe if we put a little weight into it?
11:53It's jammed shut.
11:55Ah.
12:00Yeah.
12:02Yeah.
12:27Why don't you have a shave while I take a quick bath?
12:30Then we can reconvene.
12:32I know that word.
12:34It's French for something illicit.
12:37Shush.
12:38Shave.
12:39I think I forgot to pack my razor and kit.
12:41I'm sure the pharmacy downstairs has them.
12:44Don't be too long in that bath.
12:47Don't you worry.
13:23It's better not.
13:26It's better not.
14:07Oh my god.
14:14Marie!
14:40Let's cut it out!
14:56The milk is too hot
14:56It's hot
14:58It's hot
15:03I'll dry it
15:03It's hot
15:05It's hot
15:06It's hot
15:30Is that you, darling?
15:35Jeff?
15:38Oh.
15:39Are we playing another game?
16:03Back already?
16:06You know, this tub is awfully big.
16:11I think there might be room for another body.
16:16Oh.
16:18Mmm, that's nice.
16:24Ow.
16:25You don't know your own strength. Easy, dear.
16:30Jeff, that hurts.
16:32Hello, my dear.
16:34Quiet now.
16:36We don't want to disturb the other guests.
16:39Let go of me. Let go of me.
16:42I really thought you'd have a little more fighting in.
16:56There we are.
16:59Nice and quiet.
17:03Good.
17:03Good.

18:53Marie!
19:21A place for everything. Everything in its place.
19:28Well, look at this.
19:30Oh, it's wonderful.
19:32Only the best for you, my dear.
19:34Mother would simply die. It's so...
19:37I say, good man, do you work here?
19:42Hello.
19:44Welcome to the World's Fair Hotel.
19:52Hold it.
20:00Hold it.
20:06Hold it.
20:07Won't you spare me over till another year?
20:14Hold it.
20:15Hold it.
20:20Hold it.
20:22Hold it.
20:38Hold it.
20:41Now this would be the star verfby.
20:42Well, what is this that I can't see
20:48With that sea hand getting hold of me
20:54Well, I am dead, none can excel
21:00I open the door to heaven and hell
21:11Too late, too late, to all farewell
21:16My soul is doomed, so keep me well
21:23As long as God in heaven dwells
21:30Your soul, your soul shall scream in hell
21:54Oh, you're here
21:57Have you been waiting long?
22:00Welcome to my repository
22:02A vast collection of stories that are dark, frightening, horrific
22:07I am the curator
22:16It's so good to have company
22:20For a long time I was on my own
22:22I can barely recall a time when I wasn't here
22:26Watching over these tales
22:28And what good are stories without somebody to experience them?
22:33This is a story about those who create
22:37And the lengths they might go to for their art to be made pure
22:44Art can elicit all sorts of reactions
22:47Delight, inspiration, desire
22:50Yes, but also doubt, fear, dread
22:56The way you react, the decisions you make
23:00Will affect this story
23:02Hidden in the world, you'll find dark pictures
23:07They give glimpses of the possible consequences of your choices
23:12And sometimes it's the smallest choices
23:16That can have the biggest repercussions
23:20You're responsible for what happens
23:23You're culpable
23:27I can't interfere
23:29That's very much against the rules
23:31I can only observe what happens
23:33And record any significant events
23:39Oh
23:41Ever seen one of these?
23:43They're very old
23:44People used to call them obbles
23:47They'd put them in the mouth of the recently deceased
23:50To pay the ferryman
23:52Look out for them
23:54You'll find them in the strangest places
23:56I'll be happy to exchange any that you find
24:00And I'll certainly make it worth your while
24:05Well, shall we start?
24:07The game is afoot
24:08I will be watching
24:15My name is Kate Wilder
24:17I've got a master's in criminal psychology
24:19I'm an investigative journalist
24:22And hope to make a difference
24:23You may have recently seen my interview on Chicago AM
24:26And yeah, it's really tough when just being honest means everyone thinks you're a bitch
24:37I'm not sure I've got issues to deal with
24:39Same as everyone
24:41I'm working on it
24:43Hey, I'm Mark
24:44I study photography at UCLA
24:46I'm at a great time
24:48Really want to get back into some serious photography
24:53But yeah, it's a job
24:58I've been a key group in lighting tech for years
25:01See a problem
25:03Light it
25:06You don't often meet someone like that
25:08Man, how do you even start?
25:12I'm sick of being on my own
25:15Sorry, do you start with qualifications or like personnel info?
25:20Because I don't
25:21I mean
25:21Will anyone access this?
25:24I'm kind of private, actually
25:25Uh, yeah
25:26Charlie Lonit
25:27UK originally
25:28I've been here for 20 years
25:30The last series was so on track
25:32It was, uh
25:34It was a very beautifully conceived
25:38And, um
25:41Didn't quite, uh
25:43Hit the mark
25:44As I was hoping it would
25:49It's a fucking mess
25:50To be honest with you
25:54I think we've heard quite enough
25:56Enough?
25:59Oh, I've barely begun, Your Honor
26:03You don't seem to understand
26:05I was born with the devil in me
26:10I could not help the fact that I was a murderer
26:13Any more than a poet can help the inspiration to sing
26:18Bury me deep, Your Honor
26:21Make sure they fill my pine box with cement
26:24Put me deeper than anyone else
26:27And cover the ground with more cement
26:29Cause, trust me
26:31Just being dead ain't enough to stop me from killing again
26:36On May 7th, 1896
26:40Herman Mudgett, a.k.a. Henry H. Holmes
26:43Was sent to the gallows
26:46His neck did not snap from the force of hanging
26:50Records indicate he hung
26:51Slowly suffocating for over 15 minutes
26:54Until finally, the monster was dead
27:00America's first serial killer confessed to 27 murders
27:03But as investigators sifted through the traces he left behind
27:08Following his path from city to city
27:10The number grew significantly
27:12Nearly 200 lives
27:17America's first serial killer
27:19And possibly the worst
27:24He was buried as requested
27:26Under concrete
27:28Was he hoping to hide from God's judgment
27:31Or did he truly want to keep the devil
27:34From climbing out
27:35And killing again
27:42Sir
27:43What do you think?
27:55To be honest, Charlie
27:57This is a pilot
27:59Hold that thought
28:04Lonnet Entertainment
28:05Charles Lonnet, please
28:08Speaking
28:08Charlie is fine
28:09My name is Grantham Dumet
28:12What can I do for you?
28:13Mr. Dumet
28:14Actually, it's what I can do for you
28:17Hear me out
28:20I'm certainly grateful to you, Mr. Dumet
28:22This all sounds amazing
28:23But I, uh
28:24I just
28:27I'm waiting to hear what the catch is
28:28No offence
28:29None taken
28:32I'm in a privileged position
28:34I don't need for much
28:35But my time is at a premium
28:38We need to do this today
28:41I'll send a car for you this afternoon
28:434pm
28:44Be ready
28:44This afternoon
28:46We're talking a couple of days shoot
28:48I've told my team they're free this weekend
28:50And frankly
28:52They're a temperamental bunch
28:53Without them, this conversation is dead in the water
28:57We, uh
28:58I've told you what I have
29:00Please don't waste my time
29:02Am I sending the car or not?
29:05Yes
29:06Of course
29:07Of course
29:07We're in
29:08I'll get them there
29:09I promise
29:10Let's do it
29:20Mr. Dumet send you
29:22We
29:24Right
29:25Let's load up guys
29:27Alright, got it
29:28I'm good
29:32Sorry
29:33Are you?
29:35I mean
29:36This is that ring light
29:38That makes you all glowy
29:39We leave it behind
29:40You're right
29:41You're right
29:41This is gonna be grand
29:43People
29:44Adventure
29:45Excitement
29:47Anyone?
29:49Road trip
29:50Huzzah
29:51Woohoo
29:51Hooray
29:53This is gonna be great guys
30:01Do we know where we're going exactly?
30:04You don't like surprises
30:05You know what this just reminds me of?
30:07Don't say it
30:08Topeka
30:09Exactly
30:10Me
30:11No money in my pocket
30:13A dead phone
30:14And lost in the middle of goddamn Topeka
30:16That wasn't my fault
30:17It was 100% your fault
30:19Because you fly by the seat of your ass
30:21So?
30:22Come on Charlie
30:23What do we know about this guy?
30:25He's rich
30:26He's a recluse
30:27He's obsessed with H.H. Holmes
30:28Totally sane, I'm sure
30:30We're going to a property he inherited from a relative
30:33That's who had the obsession with Holmes
30:35Some of the rooms are full recreations from the murder castle
30:38Dumet has blueprints
30:40Documents
30:42Artifacts
30:42When I said this would save the show
30:44I was not exaggerating
30:47And you substantiated all of this?
30:50Just trust me
30:54Sorry for all the mystery
30:57Before we go any further
30:58I have to ask that we lock up your phones for safekeeping
31:02While this may sound strange
31:04That I invite you to film the collection inside my home
31:06I cannot allow any personal devices
31:09Oh is this part of the brand?
31:11Did we know about this?
31:12Business or lifestyle
31:14There are rules
31:16All footage you wish to use must be authorized by me first
31:20I require privacy and discretion
31:23I must insist
31:25His place, his rules
31:28Look, what he's offering us is worth it
31:32Could be making us pay
31:33But he isn't
31:35If this is all he asks
31:36Then we do it
31:38Fine
31:40For the show
31:43I'm telling you
31:44This is going to be great
31:45You said that in Topeka
32:11If this dude is so rich
32:12Shouldn't he have service or something?
32:14Is this guy going to help?
32:20No, really
32:22I got it
32:24Thanks, bro
32:25Don't sweat it
32:28Jackass
32:38Okay
32:40So now what?
32:42I'd love to get some footage of the lake and the scope of this
32:45Not with all the mist and fog
32:48There
32:48From on high we'll get a better look
32:51That's certainly, um, up there
32:55The visuals will be great
32:56And we can frame up over the mist
33:00Charlie, you'll hack up a lung before you're halfway up there
33:03I'm fit as a butcher's dog
33:06Mark, this is crazy
33:07We'll be fine
33:09Let's go, Charlie
33:10Be careful, guys
33:12Nice knowing you
33:14Come on
33:17git
33:18Turns around
33:18Start
33:19Slap
33:19Slap
33:19Slap
33:21Slap
33:22Slap
33:23Slap
33:30Slap
33:35Slap
33:41Slap
34:00This way?
34:01Hey, guys, hurry up.
34:03We're on it.
34:12Oh, Jesus, that is loud.
34:13It's meant to be heard from miles away.
34:15Well, yeah, I know that in theory, but...
34:20It doesn't look too serious.
34:22The warning about everything falling into the ocean.
34:25I'm going to say we trust it and not die.
34:27Nah, this sign is something the lawyers make them put up.
34:30I'm sure it's fine.
34:32Hard disagreeing.
34:47Oh, so much for plan A.
34:49We must be able to work our way around.
34:52Come on.
34:54Anything for a shot, right?
35:22Listen, Mark, I just wanted to say, um, thanks for backing me up, man.
35:27What?
35:29About getting this footage?
35:30No, for the whole trip.
35:32You know some of the crew can be challenging to work with.
35:38Jamie and Kate would never have agreed to come if you hadn't been on board.
35:41I figured that the episode was such a mess, we needed all the help we could get.
35:47Right.
35:48Yeah.
35:50I guess we do.
36:00Okay, I won't lie.
36:01I was hoping being here all remote and away from the world that maybe I'd have some downtime,
36:07some space to decompress.
36:10Downtime?
36:11Why would you want to do that?
36:12You know, relax a bit.
36:15I've never seen the attraction.
36:20I've never seen it.
36:22All right.
36:27Let's go.
36:28Go.
36:31Come on.
36:32Go.
36:48Hey, when we wrap, I'd like to take a couple weeks off, go see my family.
36:52I need you in post. I really appreciate that discerning eye of yours, you know.
36:57I've got a lot going on at the moment, Charlie.
37:00Oh, right, yeah, of course, sure.
37:03Take a couple weeks. Get your head together.
37:06I appreciate it.
37:07I'll be fine in post on that.
37:09You should do the same. Take some time out.
37:13You got any family you can go and bother?
37:15Oh, well.
37:17No, Mrs. Lonnet, you got hiding in some closets somewhere?
37:21Married to the job.
37:23Married to the job.
37:27How's that marriage working out?
37:29Well, from what I hear about real marriages, it's pretty damn good.

38:13Christ, what the hell is that?
38:14A mannequin.
38:15You know, just hanging out.
38:17Maybe it's part of some old museum display or something.
38:20Right.
38:21That's probably it.
38:51You coming?
38:53Yeah.
38:54Just looking at the light on the mist.
