Amityville: The Awakening

We have six men that were found last night,

in bed... shot and killed.

In 1965, Ronald DeFeo moved his family from Brooklyn

into a beautiful three-storey home in Amityville, Long Island.

Envisioning a better life for themselves,

they even put a sign in front of the house saying: "High Hopes".

Then things went terribly wrong.

Rumors have been circulating

that there is something dark and evil about the house.

That the house somehow drove Ronny DeFeo

to commit this grisly act.

OK!

We're home!

Larry, old sicky bastard.

How did you even get in here?

Juliet?

Are you up here?

Hello?

Joan!

Hey!

Hi, you guys made it! How was the ride?

We're worn out. You know what? We're doing good.

I need to go back in town.

Thank you so much for helping with all of...

What are sisters for?

Have you told them... about...?

No?

I just want us to get settled in first, OK?

OK. Well, I have everything set up the way you wanted if you wanna check it out.

I set up an emergency back-up battery just in case.

You never know with these old houses.

And...

You know we're only five minutes on the road,

so you say the word if you need anything.

- We'll be there. - Thank you.

We've pretty much gotten to a routine now, so...

I'm glad you're here.

Everything's gonna be fine.

What did doctor Milton say?

The same as usual, you know...

We're not gonna give up fighting.

Of course.

All right, everybody! Dig in!

Aren't we gonna say grace?

You hate saying grace.

Never stopped you before.

Well, maybe I'm embracing a change.

I'll do it!

"Dear Lord, thank you for this food".

"And for this house".

"And for keeping James safe and happy".

"Amen".

Juls, how do you like your room?

Awesome! It's got pink, purple, silver and gold.

All my favourite colors.

Do you have all your paperwork done for tomorrow?

Yup.

Things do look good.

Yeah, it looks great.

Besides the fact that I have to move to a completely new school

and start all over again on my senior year...

We all have to make sacrifices.

Quiet, boy!

And what part of sacrifice does this house fit into?

It's - It's three times as big as our last one.

I told you. We got a deal.

Save a few bucks? That's good to know.

We moved here to be close to my family, to Candice.

St. Alcuin has the best neurological department in New York.

I want you to trust me, all right?

This house is gonna be good for James.

And that's all that matters.

Right now, yes, that's all that matters.

We all need to rally round and that's the only way he's gonna get through this.

Get through what, Mom?

I know James, OK? I know him better than you do.

He's my twin! I can feel it!

He's not there!

- And whose fault is that? - James is gone, Mom!

That's enough!

Belle?

Larry, come on!

Yeah.

You still love me, don't you, Larry?

Even if you are stuck with that dumb name.

Come on.

I miss talking to you.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Let's go, people!

OK, guys, this is Belle. She just transferred here.

Have a seat and take notes.

We left off yesterday page 38. 1862. The Civil War.

Battlefield medicine. Clara Barton.

Check out the lipstick on freaky girl.

She ended up starting the American Red Cross.

What she did was, she talked mothers and daughters

to come out to the battlefield and take care of their sons... brothers.

It's not you.

It's the house.

What house?

Yeah, 112 Ocean Avenue.

Who are you? Some kind of stalker?

What? No!

How do you know where I live?

- Everyone knows where you... - Please, just...

Hey, hey, hey!

It's your first day. You might wanna listen.

My God!

Juliet, you can't just...

sneak up on people like that.

Sorry.

What are you doing up?

I just wanted to talk to James.

Doesn't James talk to you, Belle?

In a way, I guess.

Does he use bad words?

Why would you say that?

OK, party animal. It's sleepy-time. Come here.

Tooty-hoi, yes, come on.

- Belle? - Yes?

How come Mommy doesn't love you anymore?

Who told you that?

Go to bed.

Go back to bed, girls.

You heard Mom, let's go back to bed.

James?

It's his heart.

Sweetheart, stay with us, OK?

Belle is here, Mom is here...

Good.

All right, sweetheart.

You're doing great.

Who's my brave boy?

It's gonna be OK.

All right baby. Now, OK, sweetie.

Baby?

I don't understand.

What's happening? Come on!

It goes too fast.

Come on!

Come on, don't do this.

Come on, baby!

Shit!

Come on, come on, come on.

Come on, honey.

Come on!

Stay with me, James.

James...

- Come on! - Mom.

- It's over. - That's what you want, isn't it?

It's what God would want.

Honey.

We're never gonna stop fighting for you.

I'm so proud of you.

Come, sweetie.

Do you wanna give him a kiss?

I knew you'd come back.

Juliet?

Who fixed you breakfast?

- Shit! - Language, honey.

D'you want some Granola?

- Take care of yourself. Take it easy - Oh, really?

Brenda, Leonie's looking for you! OK?

In 1965, Ronald DeFeo moved his family from Brooklyn

into a beautiful three-storey home in Amityville, Long Island.

Then things went terribly wrong.

Are you still questioning Ronald DeFeo?

No comment.

Where is Mister DeFeo?

What kind of a guy is Ron DeFeo?

Don't worry, I'm just stalking you.

Yeah, erm, sorry about yesterday.

He didn't look for trouble.

And he was a happy fella.

You know, you're not the first girl to mistake my basic human decency for perviness.

You really didn't know?

No idea.

Man, I can't believe no one told you about that!

Sick shit, right?

Voices told him to do it.

Took out the whole family, six people.

Wait, where are you going?

Well, I already missed the last three periods

and I don't really wanna transfer again.

Hey, wait, you ever see this?

Do you recognize that house?

We need to talk.

Good to see you, honey. How was school?

Why didn't you tell me about the house?

I'm just waiting for the right time.

And when would that be?

You know it's just a ghost story, sweetie. It's an urban legend.

Yeah, that everyone at my school seems to know about.

You're right. I'm sorry. I should have told you.

I just - I've really had a lot on my mind.

Well, it would be nice if Juliet and I could be on your mind too.

That's it. It's the doctor.
