  What was? That What was that voice?
• 0:23
  This is the story of a young girl, a girl who had strange and
• 0:29
  disturbing dreams. I know this place.
• 0:37
  I've been here before. This is the ancient stone city
• 0:41
  amidst the jungle. Oh, sweet Jesus.
• 1:05
  We're gonna ignore him. Just ignore him.
• 1:08
  He's not gonna hurt you. Just keep going.
• 1:30
  where am I? This is not the Earth.
• 2:18
  The statuette. Here it is.
• 2:22
  Finally. I have to get it.
• 2:24
  I have to. This is the story of Evie
• 2:32
  Drayton. Quick quick, before I forget
• 2:35
  where did I put my notebook? I have to write everything down.
• 2:38
  Looking for answers was part of Evie's observant nature and
• 2:42
  analytical mind. Her recurrent dreams began
• 2:46
  shortly after a period in 1956 when she'd completely lost
• 2:50
  consciousness. I was lucky to be Schwitz,
• 2:59
  Bergen Island, and Svalbard. Apparently I researched this
• 3:03
  area of the Arctic thoroughly during the time I lost
• 3:06
  consciousness. This photo was taken during my
• 3:12
  amnesia. I don't remember anything about
• 3:15
  it. When I saw this picture, I
• 3:22
  couldn't believe it. It's the same statuette I always
• 3:25
  see in my dreams. Oh, here it is, Evie's nightmare
• 3:36
  journal. Evie was worried that someone
• 3:39
  might read it. That's why she kept it locked
• 3:41
  away under that complicated padlock.
• 4:00
  Yes, is this. Are you Evangeline Drayton?
• 4:04
  That's right. Who am I talking to?
• 4:06
  I am the the Dean of Archaeology at Miscatonic University.
• 4:10
  I believe you wanted to ask me some questions, right?
• 4:14
  Yes, yes, of course. It's a pleasure to finally meet
• 4:18
  you, Professor today. At 6:00 PM at 5 Prospect Rd.
• 4:22
  outside of Boston. Boston.
• 4:24
  That's almost a 2 hour train ride for Markham I thought.
• 4:28
  Do you want to talk or not? Yes, yes, of course.
• 4:31
  I'll be there. 6:00 PM Prospect Rd.
• 4:35
  See you in a couple of hours, professor.
• 4:40
  All right, I should get ready. There's a lot of information
• 4:43
  here about my strange dreams in my amnesia.
• 4:46
  I'd better go through it again before I leave.
• 4:48
  I don't want to miss any questions when I talk to the
• 4:51
  professor. I've always been a good student,
• 4:56
  but during my amnesia period, I almost reached excellence.
• 4:59
  A whole straight A's. I must have written about 1000
• 5:05
  letters to the archaeology Dean in Miskatonic and I've never
• 5:08
  received any answer I must have written about.
• 5:13
  I wish Papa had never taken that job in San Francisco.
• 5:17
  It'd still be with us. The Hydrangea Foundation took
• 5:25
  care of the insurance payout for Dad's accident.
• 5:27
  I had scholarships to attend several black colleges in the
• 5:30
  South, but it was the Foundation's money that allowed
• 5:33
  me to cover the tuition here at Miskatonic.
• 5:52
  I've searched every astronomy book at the Miskatonic Library,
• 5:55
  but none of them contain any reference to this constellation.
• 6:01
  Beatrice, along with me is one of the few ladies studying
• 6:05
  physics at Miskatonic. Julian, Beatrice, Herbie and I
• 6:12
  we're always together. Uncle MO showed me a trick or
• 6:26
  two when I would help him in the motor shop.
• 6:28
  Tinkering with gadgets always puts me at ease.
• 6:36
  I couldn't leave my science fiction book collection in
• 6:39
  Benoit. Before leaving, Evie asked
• 6:44
  herself if she had finished gathering all the information in
• 6:47
  her room. All right, I think I've gathered
• 6:50
  what I need. As odd as it seemed to Evie that
• 6:55
  the Dean didn't meet her at the university, her need to know was
• 6:58
  stronger than her doubts. She was determined to attend the
• 7:02
  meeting. There she would come across
• 7:05
  another protagonist in this story.
• 7:13
  So you have finally decided to talk to that young lady,
• 7:17
  Professor. Yes.
• 7:20
  Acknowledging responsibility for our previous mistakes is vital
• 7:25
  to moving forward. You've taken a crucial step in.
• 7:29
  Listen, there's no need for us to talk, Doctor.
• 7:31
  The only reason I let you into my house is because you insisted
• 7:35
  it was necessary to prescribe my medication.
• 7:37
  This is also the story of a sad, guilt ridden and lonely man.
• 7:43
  This is the story of my husband, Professor Harry Everhart.
• 7:49
  Yes, I know well enough that discussing the effectiveness of
• 7:53
  our therapy sessions with you is futile.
• 7:56
  But you need to understand that therapy is just a part of the
• 8:00
  whole treatment. Without it I can't go.
• 8:03
  And ask whatever you deem necessary and let's get this
• 8:06
  over with as soon as possible. Fine, what about your position
• 8:12
  as Dean at Miskatonic University?
• 8:16
  We talked some time ago about your relationship with work was
• 8:21
  somewhat obsessive. I didn't say that you did.
• 8:25
  Well, you told me you practically lived secluded in
• 8:28
  this very home and the only thing that drove you to leave it
• 8:32
  was your job obligations. So how would you define that?
• 8:39
  I do what they pay me for. Teaching, student assessment and
• 8:43
  certain logistical duties fall within my responsibilities.
• 8:48
  Cheering at the Miskatonic Mariners football games does
• 8:50
  not. And are you happy with that,
• 8:54
  with your life now? What kind of question is that?
• 8:58
  Well, I'm asking it because it sounds like you're subjecting
• 9:03
  yourself to a kind of self punishment.
• 9:07
  I am not next question. There's another topic you've
• 9:13
  never wanted to delve into. Professor, would you now be
• 9:18
  open? To You're going to do it anyway,
• 9:20
  so go. Ahead.
• 9:23
  OK, what happened to your wife, Professor?
• 9:35
  She died at home after a long disease.
• 9:38
  Harry hated giving details about my death, especially if those
• 9:42
  details meant talking about a certain expedition and deaths
• 9:46
  other than mine. I see.
• 9:50
  And how do you feel about that? What's?
• 9:53
  My wife got to do with all this. You see, the reason I'm asking,
• 9:57
  Professor, is because when we began therapy, you mentioned
• 10:02
  visions. Some sort of oily shadows
• 10:06
  casting themselves on the wall. You mentioned those visions
• 10:10
  began shortly after. Whatever happened to your wife?
• 10:15
  So tell me, do you still see those shadows, Professor?
• 10:26
  No, not since I started taking the medication at least.
• 10:30
  Harry had tried everything and none of it worked.
• 10:34
  Not even the medication that helped him sleep could take away
• 10:37
  those oily shadows, but he kept it to himself.
• 10:41
  Listen, there is, there is something different I want to
• 10:47
  try in today's session. I believe hypnotherapy.
• 10:52
  Don't even think about it, hypnotism is a scam.
• 10:57
  Professor, with all due respect, I believe you're mistaking
• 11:00
  mesmerism with hypnotism. Even so, if you want me to
• 11:06
  prescribe the. You won't give me my medication
• 11:10
  unless I submit to your quack experiment, is that it?
• 11:13
  Well. I'm deeply sorry you see it that
• 11:16
  way, professor, but I need you to trust me in this.
• 11:22
  And go ahead, wave a pocket watch in my face if that's what
• 11:25
  you need to do. There's no need for pocket
• 11:29
  watches, professor. The sound of a metronome will be
• 11:33
  more than enough. I need you to relax and free
• 11:39
  your mind and think of something pleasant, a fond memory if you
• 11:45
  will. Something that took place here
• 11:50
  in the Everhart Manor. A fond memory in this place.
• 11:55
  It wasn't easy for Harry to find a fond memory in the same manner
• 11:58
  where he had spent an extremely unhappy childhood.
• 12:01
  Maybe. Maybe.
• 12:04
  December 1930, the last Christmas my wife and I ever
• 12:09
  spent it ever hard manner. She insisted on coming despite
• 12:13
  my parents never approving of our marriage, but that was the
• 12:17
  kind of person she was. Interesting.
• 12:23
  Tell me more about it, Professor Everhart.
• 12:26
  Every time I gave her a present, I prepared a little scavenger
• 12:30
  hunt. She loved it.
• 12:33
  She loved solving my stupid riddles.
• 12:39
  As you may have noticed, this story has more than one
• 12:42
  protagonist, and though I am not one of them, I believe I, Nora
• 12:47
  Everhart, play a crucial part in it.
• 12:51
  Can I open my eyes now, Harry? Not yet.
• 12:55
  We're almost there. Let me open the door and now
• 13:00
  open your eyes. Look what you've prepared.
• 13:07
  It's another one of your scavenger hunts, huh?
• 13:09
  Of. Course, old pal.
• 13:12
  Now, if you want your present, you'll have to earn it.
• 13:16
  Can I use my journal to write down clues?
• 13:18
  Well, technically that's against the rules, but I'll turn a blind
• 13:22
  eye this time. He's so kind.
• 13:44
  Do you remember when we slow danced to dear old pal of mine
• 13:48
  at Maddie's house? The end of the Great War Party
• 13:51
  and our first kiss. How could I forget?
• 13:56
  Oh, look at your sad little face in this photo.
• 13:59
  You know me. I've never been the life of the
• 14:03
  party. Wait, there's something wrong in
• 14:07
  this memory. This wasn't.
• 14:10
  Ignore it. Focus on that moment, your wife,
• 14:15
  that happy memory. I wonder what my darling husband
• 14:27
  is keeping locked up in here. You'll have to put that brain of
• 14:30
  yours to work to find it. What are you up to now?
• 14:59
  I'm I'm seeing those oily shadows in here.
• 15:02
  Why am I seeing those shadows? Focus, professor.
• 15:06
  Keep remembering. Oh boy, what a drawing?
• 15:12
  Is this supposed? Tell me you didn't vandalize a
• 15:18
  piano just for a scavenger hunt, old pal.
• 15:22
  Nora, who do you think I am? It's just crayon.
• 15:47
  but my house. Is not professor.
• 15:49
  Don't drift off, Keep going. None.
• 17:16
  A new decade? I wonder what the future has in
• 17:19
  store for us.
