When we gave you this place, I asked you to throw everything away. Why are his things still here?
Joseph I just wanted to keep something from Grandpa. It felt like I was throwing him away.
Joseph No, I know. It's just... I mean, some of this stuff, it's fascinating, you know?
Does that sound fascinating to you?
Joseph It's just inspiration for my book.
Your book is about Grandpa?
Joseph No, not him... his research I mean. Come on. Curses, and demons... [Susan picks up and opens notebook] I found all kinds of crazy artifacts he brought back from around the world, and apparently he was part of some secret society.
Joseph They were historians, you know... And he recorded everything in his notebook. Look, I was gonna tell you.
[crumples polaroid of Benjamin]
No, let me tell you. My father was not a good man, Joseph.
Joseph Mom...
When my mom's mind started to go, he retreated. [starts ripping down pin up sketches] Spent more time with the Circle of the Wise Men than us. Always off on some expedition, buried in some stupid old book. When Aunt Bonnie got sick, that's when he left us for good. Hunting for rusty weapons. Crumbling scrolls. He said he had to find a way to protect us from evil. All he every did was talk like that because he didn't have the courage to face real hardship. I had to take care of this family.
Joseph I'm sorry, Mom.
Joe, what's the Circle of the Wise Men?
Joseph I didn't think that it was real.
Stop hiding stuff and just tell me. I saw those **** up drawings you threw out.
Joseph Did Will ever tell you about our grandfather? Growing up, we were always told he was unstable. In his journals, he described it as this group convinced the devil had been here and would return if anyone read from what he called the... The Book of the Dead. My grandfather left his family to travel the world, researching and collecting artifacts as protection from all this.
Joseph My mom asked me to throw everything away after he died, but... No, no, no. ****! She asked, but I didn't. There's still some stuff hidden up in the attic. And Thya, that thing inside her said they were looking for something. Maybe whatever that is, it can stop them.
Joseph Hey, is... is Grandma ok? Everything good?
DS Deadite Susan
Yes, everything's better now. I need you to trust me.
Joseph Trust you?
DS Deadite Susan
They're not our enemies. I realize that now. They just want something back that my father stole. I told you, he was a bad man. It's simple. Tell them where it is. Give them what they want, and this ends. We can be happy again.
Joseph Where what is?
DS Deadite Susan
A weapon.
Joseph But we threw everything away.
DS Deadite Susan
You're lying to me. Tell us where it is.
Joseph Us?
DS Deadite Susan
Where is the Kandarian dagger?ǃ [lightbulbs pop and deadite Edgar attacks Joseph]
You need to stop meddling in our family affairs.
DS Deadite Susan
You promisedǃ You promised not to hurt himǃ
Finally some use for this revolting piece of shitǃ Finally something you can be proud ofǃ Nothing will stand in our way now. Once we have the dagger...
Will's dead. And now you inflict this on us?
Joseph That's enough. Dad, you don't look good...
[cutting him off]
It's your fault he's dead. You didn't stop him getting to the car!
Joseph Stop it, Dad! I had nothing to do with it! Will got into a fight with Alice, and he...
What? Are you implying it was my fault?
Joseph No, no, of course not.
You were there. You couldn't stop him from getting in the car either.
Joseph I know. Alice, I know, I tried.
Joseph Okay, I didn't...
Doesn't mean it's my fault.
Joseph That's not what I'm saying.
It's exactly what you said.
Joseph Alice, no.
No. I think you should all mind your own business. You don't know anything.
Please, please, please. Will's looking down on us from above.
From above? He's down below. [grabs a fork and stabs Max to death]
