We Are Still Here

Probably another hour or so.

Everything should be there.

The movers were working all week,

putting all the rooms together.

How did they know where to hang the photos?

I told them.

If something's in the wrong place, we'll fix it.

We'll fix it.

Paul?

Are you up?

Paul?

Thank you.

I can feel him here.

What?

I can feel Bobby in this house.

Annie, the reason we moved up here...

I know, I know.

Moving away from the city isn't the same

as moving away from the memories.

He's always going to be with us.

Annie, honey, yes, in our hearts

but not in the house.

I really don't care how far he has to drive.

We had the inspection over a month ago

and I've called several times already.

But the report says there's nothing wrong...

I understand,

but the smell in the cellar needs to be taken care of.

Now.

It smells like smoke.

Have you seen any smoke, sir?

No, I haven't seen smoke

but I think I know what it smells like.

It's a hundred degrees down there.

All right. We'll send somebody out in the morning.

Thank you.

I'll see him then.

Well, the electrician is finally coming out...

Look.

Oh, hon.

Did you drop it?

No.

I found it like this.

Well, I'll just get another frame

when I go into town tomorrow.

You don't think it means something?

What?

He never liked this photo.

Remember how we always hid it when girls came over?

Yeah.

- He used to say that he thought his smile was... - Crooked.

And you think he still doesn't like it?

Expecting anyone?

No.

Find a spot for the photo and we'll get a new frame tomorrow.

I told you someone was home.

I'm Dave McCabe. This is my wife Cat.

We live down the road.

We're your neighbors.

Hello.

I'm Paul Sacchetti.

This is my wife Anne, and we live here,

and we are your neighbors.

Very nice to meet you.

Well, we've been two weeks

and you're the first folks to come by.

Two weeks?

That is a surprise.

Usually there's a bit of chatter in town

when someone moves into this old house...

you know, with the history and all.

Oh, where's my manners? I'm sorry.

Would you like to come in for a drink?

Oh, well, thank you. Thank you very much.

Pardon the mess.

We're still getting a little settled in.

Oh, no, it's, uh...

This is lovely. Lovely.

Thank you.

Oh, uh, what can I get for the two of you?

A tea or...

- Oh, don't bother. - A coffee maybe.

- Whiskey? - Oh.

That'll be very nice. Sit, Cat.

Go ahead, sit.

So, um, what was this history you mentioned, Dave?

We heard it was a funeral parlor

around the turn of the century?

But, I've got to say, the price they were asking

wasn't about to scare us away.

Good. Good.

So, the realtor told you all about the Dagmars.

Yes. That was the family... Thank you...

Who first lived here, right?

Yes. Yes, that's right.

I mean, the town built this house for him back in 1859.

Well, cheers.

Oh, yes.

To new friends, and new beginnings.

1859. You don't say?

Yeah.

It wasn't long after that that the trouble began.

Old Dagmar had been running the parlor

no more than a couple of months when...

well, what do you know, word got out that

they were selling the bodies and burying empty coffins.

People were saying he was selling the corpses

to the university over in Essex County.

Some even said he was selling them to the Orientals

over in Boston, turning them into chop suey.

The town ran him and his wife

and the little girl out on a rail.

It was just the saddest thing.

They moved to Providence

but his family just couldn't stand the sight of him.

Old Dagmar drank himself to death no more than a year later.

They say he was no more than a shell of a man at the end.

He was more than a shell.

- No, we hadn't heard anything... - You told us...

Honey, it's all right.

No. You're quite right, kid, you're quite right.

Yes. I'm so sorry.

Here I am with you nice folks no more than five minutes

and I'm already knee-deep in devils.

She's an old, old house, this one, yeah.

Well...

We should be off. We're in a bit of a hurry.

- So soon? - Yes, yes.

We were just driving into town and saw your light

and wanted to stop by.

Well, feel free to stop by anytime.

Oh, thank you, thank you. We will.

You take care of this old place.

It needs a family.

Thanks, Dave.

It has been 30 years

since we've had fresh souls in the Dagmar House.

I think we can call it the Sacchetti House now.

Yeah, well, it's...

it's still Dagmar's House.

Come on, Cat.

Cat, come on.

Watch the bottom step.

Whew.

You can feel it, can't you?

Of course, I can.

It's hot as hell down here, Mr. Sacchetti.

What do you got over there?

Old foundation, needs to be replaced.

Nothing back there?

No.

Well, look.

Unless you want to hang out in the sauna with me,

feel free to go about your day.

I'll give you call out if I need anything.

Thanks, Joe. You're a life saver.

All right.

- Just give me shout. - Yeah.

Hey, kiddo.

How are we doing?

Not bad.

Minus last night, has the weirdness died down?

It's not weirdness.

You know what I mean.

Yeah.

I still feel something here.

So what are we going to do about it?

What if Jacob and May came up for the weekend?

May has always been interested in this stuff.

She told me once that people pay her to do séances.

People with too much money.

And you like Jacob.

- He is always so... - Stoned?

Earthy.

And they wrote us that lovely note after the accident.

They said they'd always be there for us.

I just think they might be able to help.

You already invited them, didn't you?

Yeah.

Alright.

Hello?

They told me if we were okay with it,

they'd invite Harry up for the weekend, too.

Why would Harry want to spend a weekend with his parents

and the parents of his dead room...

Sorry. That was rude.

Like Dave said, this house needs a family.

Ah!

Oh, shit.

He's burned bad!

Annie, call an ambulance!

I don't care if you have to disconnect the boiler,

I don't want a health hazard like that

in my goddamn basement.

It almost killed my electrician this afternoon.

You do realize that it's a really old boiler...

I don't want excuses. I want it fixed.

- Yes, sir, of course. - Great.

Thank you.

Do you want me to call Jacob and May
