Whisper of the Witch (Заклятье. Шепот ведьм)

There you are.

Phone.

Why the hell did you run in here?

Give me the phone... now.

I'll delete it and give it back.

Uh, let's get out of here.

- Give me the phone! - Back off!

- Let her delete it. - Just stop it!

Come on. Just let's go!

- Kevin, stop... Enough! - Back off!

What if she doesn't give it back?

Forget it! It's too much.

Shut up!

Listen.

What's that?

Is anyone there?

Piano?

I wanna leave.

-Let's go and check. -No! Just let's go!

Calm down!

We just take a look and then leave.

- Right. - Let's go.

What the hell?

What the hell?

Who was playing?

It's just a rat.

It's empty.

How was it playing, then?

It's all rotten on the inside.

Hello, Nick.

Long time no see.

Paul.

I was expecting one of your... guys.

Never thought it would be you.

I chose to come.

I know the place.

The people.

Mmm, you think so?

I mean, it was, like, half a lifetime ago.

You haven't been here all these... years.

Well, I'm here now.

Aren't you happy to see your buddy?

Can't you tell...

buddy?

The body was taken yesterday.

I sealed off the crime scene, just in case.

You know, the local kids hang around here.

God knows what they see in this place.

- Hold this. - Okay.

We were exactly the same.

Remember how we snuck in here with Sophie and...

what was his name?

Something I'd like to forget.

It says in the files that they heard a whisper.

Just like we did that time.

That was just an accident back then, that's it.

But there are similarities.

Same place, the whisper...

-What if they found the... -Listen, Paul.

We got a murder case here.

What the hell has an old tale got to do with it, hmm?

Okay. Show me where the body was found.

Come on in.

It has been abandoned for almost a hundred years.

The last one who lived here was the old Whisperer.

She was a hermit

and didn't leave the place until she died.

I wanna go.

Don't be scared, Tommy.

The old crone lived on the second floor.

She cured people with her incantations.

And she got paid pretty fairly.

There should be a hiding place where she kept her money.

But Arthur, they're just old tales!

Did you bring us here just for that?

It's been a hundred years. Someone took her gold already!

No one knew about it!

So how do you know?

From the library.

I found the secret archives about the mansion.

- Going up? - Yeah.

Oh, please! I heard these tales from my grandmother!

Tales?

Do you know why the mansion is abandoned?

It's cursed!

Nick.

This place is bad.

Mom said we shouldn't go here.

Stop whining, kiddo.

I told you not to come with us.

Mom told us to walk together.

Then go play outside!

All the tenants died

on one creepy night.

Only the old crone remained.

Everyone knew she was a witch.

But her whispers healed people.

So, uh...

I found the old plans of the estate...

from the time of construction.

The hiding place is in the floor.

Everyone looked in the walls,

but no one really took the time to study the problem!

Bingo.

Wow!

There's something there.

Here it is.

What is it?

Told you! The secret archive.

You really should learn how to use your head!

So is there any treasure? The witch's gold? Show me!

Wow, a box?

What the hell is that, a music box? That's it?

It's a phonograph.

The first sound recording device!

Give it. Give it to me.

I'll try.

Nick, I'm scared.

What the hell is it?

Like, an old player or something?

Uh, I think it's...

her whisper.

I guess they...

recorded her incantations to use after she died.

You coming?

He was found here.

The teens reported it only in the morning.

About seven hours after he died.

Cause of death?

Still waiting for the autopsy.

Who were those guys with him?

There were three of them.

And they're not capable of such a thing,

if that's what you mean.

I know them, they're good kids.

Luke!

Luke, buckle up!

-Good morning, ma'am. -Hello.

Are you the police?

It's you. Hi.

I'm here about...

Yeah, I know.

I'll put the kettle on. Take Willie to bed.

You look like crap.

And you look well.

Come on in.

So...

Tell me how you've been.

I thought you left for good, since you never called me.

Well, I...

I got busy.

And then later it just felt awkward.

Oh. And what about you?

Are you married? Got kids?

A son.

Mmm?

Hmm, I've got three kids now.

Hmm.

Was that your oldest at the door?

Uh... no.

That's my stepdaughter. Yana.

She's my husband's, from his previous marriage.

Nick told me that your husband...

Yeah.

He died this March.

Heart attack.

-My condolences. -Thank you.

Well...

let's not talk about the past.

Do you want some tea?

- Coffee, please. - Okay.

All right, guys.

This conversation won't take long

if you answer honestly.

You shouldn't hide anything from me, okay?

We've already been questioned.

I've got my own questions.

You told the police that you heard a whisper

- before Kevin... - Yeah?

Where was it coming from?

It sounded like it was everywhere.

And did you notice anyone else?

Maybe someone was following you?

There was nobody there except us.

All right.

And did you, by any chance, find a small box there?

Like a casket?

No, we didn't.

Think carefully about this.

Our friend is dead!

And you're talking about some stupid box?

How is this related, anyways?

I am the one asking questions.

Or would you prefer a full search

and a drive to the police station?

So tell me exactly what happened before Kevin died.

What did you see?

The piano...

started playing...

on its own.
