Don't look away.
Don't turn your back.
Don't close your eyes, not even for a second.
Blink and you'll miss it.
Don't forget.
No matter what happens,
don't forget us.
Where am I?
What happened?
Is there something there?
No, I don't think so.
Then why are you panting?
Yeah, you were running.
No, I-- I wanted to tell you something.
Now what did I want to tell you?
Calm down. It's not a big deal. You'll remember later, just--
Sky?
My grandpa used to always say
that stories are where memories go to be forgotten.
Geez, I'm acting like he's already dead.
Sky, this can wait.
- I don't want to be insensitive. - You're not.
I promised we'd do this.
Let's go.
Hello.
My name is Liz Oswald,
nursing student at New York University.
Um, for my thesis,
I am doing a real life analysis
of the experiences of an Alzheimer's patient.
This film is just as much an exploration
into the effects the disease has on the patient's families.
Introduce yourself and then tell the story of your family.
Okay. Um...
I'm Sky Song.
I'm 21 years old.
Art student at New York University.
Tell us a bit about your family.
How long has your grandmother had Alzheimer's?
No siblings.
I grew up in Holloway, California.
But I live in New York now.
Is your grandmother aware
that your grandfather is ill in the hospital currently?
Well, my parents live abroad and--
Sky, talk about your grandmother, please.
Someone get a doctor!
I got it.
Fluctuations are normal, given his state.
Is he in any pain?
He's heavily sedated, and he's going to be out all through the night.
If anything should happen, we'll be alerted.
How do you turn this damn thing off?
What the...
- Don't leave her alone! - Grandpa.
Claire! Claire! She needs you.
She sees the dead, but she forgets.
Don't forget the dead.
Okay, let's just calm down.
- Let's get a doctor. - You-- no, you'll--
You'll see them, too, but you'll forget.
- What do you mean? - Listen!
Look beneath the flower po--
Grandpa.
Grandpa, are you okay?
Grandpa!
The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.
He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth...
The passing of Walter Song was very difficult on Sky.
But she's glad we were able to make it from New York in time to see him.
I will fear no evil...
Our subject, Claire Song,
isn't present at the funeral.
Thou preparest a table...
No one from the family
has told her of her husband's death.
...my head with oil; my cup...
With her condition...
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me...
...it's not yet clear whether she'd be able to
comprehend the situation.
Ye everlasting doors,
and the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of Hosts.
He is the King of glory.
This is a family photo album I got at the funeral.
Brought it back to the hotel.
Sky, her grandfather, Walter and her grandmother, Claire.
Looks like they did everything together.
That's Adrian, Sky's cousin and grandson to Claire.
He's a neuro... neurologist.
Oh, my God!
That hair!
What are you doing?
What?
Uh, nothing.
Re--research.
I was originally planning on just interviewing Sky
and her parents, but nothing would be better
than to experience an Alzheimer's patient firsthand.
I-I do have mixed feelings about this.
I'm going to need to be sensitive,
which...
...I'm realizing now is going to be near impossible.
So.
Some of grandpa's stuff.
Figured your parents want to see it.
Glad you're still here.
And what does that mean?
Uh, I'm driving up to Grandma's tonight, so have a safe flight.
I'm actually not flying back.
I'm going to go to Grandma's, too.
- Seriously? - Uh-huh.
Why?
Sky, you're a smart girl--
Okay, anything else you say will be offensive.
She needs a professional with her.
We are literally going to visit her
- at the nursing home. - She's not at the nursing home.
She went back to her house.
Yeah, you're not here. You wouldn't know.
What? So she's alone?
She had a caretaker stay with her.
He quit yesterday. I'm going to find somebody else.
Why did the caretaker quit?
Again, you're not here.
Fine, I will stay with her, and we will go find someone else--
While I find someone else, as her doctor, I--
And who are you to be making these decisions?
Who do I have to be? What is going on here exactly?
I don't know. You tell me, Doctor.
Why do you care so much that I go or not?
Are you doing this just to spite me?
Okay, well...
just remember that the Claire that you recall
is not the same person anymore.
- I know. - No, you know you don't.
You may as well be visiting a stranger.
Sky, can we go eat?
Uh...
Oh, yikes. I don't know if I touched it or not.
So I'm really trying to make a difference with this project.
At any time... six-- over six million Americans
are afflicted with Alzheimer's disease.
Right.
There's not enough focus on...
the patients...
Liz, you haven't even asked one single question.
- Can you please just-- - Alzheimer's affects women
more than it affects men I mean,
what if I was able to break new ground
in this field? I mean, can you imagine how inspiring
that would be for young girls around the world?
Speak even plainer.
I think there's an opportunity for us
to explore your grandmother's situation firsthand,
if you let me film her.
- I am here to support you 100 percent. - So much for speaking plainly.
Or I could just leave a camera rolling,
and I would keep-- we would keep our distance. I promise.
- Liz, the last thing you've ever done in your life - I promise.
is keep your distance.
Distance is relative.
Sky wears yoga pants because she thinks it burns calories.
So, um...
Could you tell me what you and Adrian
were so calmly discussing?
Well...
my parents traveled for work.
His parents got divorced.
His dad ended up moving to Spain after the divorce,
so, the only person that was there was my Grandma.
She basically raised us as siblings.
But...
things change.
Yea.
Things do that.
What was he saying about your Grandma earlier?
She shouldn't be alone.
Aw, Sky, that's incredible.
Who is it?
She shouldn't be alone.
So irresponsible.
It says I'm "The Scream"
By the way, Liz, you only get one bathroom break.
All right, for the viewers,
We are on our way to Holloway, California.
Sky made me sign a contract saying that
I would not get too close to her grandmother.
- So... - Okay, I made you promise
that you'd be sensitive to her condition.
We're about an hour and a half away from my Grandma's.
Liz is... gracefully asleep.
So here is the nursing home
that my Grandma used to stay at
before she went back to her house.
Liz, wake up. Liz!
What! What
what happened?
Nothing. Nothing.
So why did you just...
Did I scream?
Yes.
We are now entering the town of Holloway, California,
named after Louise Holloway,
one of the few West Coast women accused of witchcraft.
That's right. It wasn't just in Salem.
Early 1700s,
Louise Holloway was tried and killed.
Can we guess why, Sky?
Hm?
Math.
She was a brilliant mathematician.
You know, Euler's formula?
He stole it from her.
So they called her a witch,
chained a rock around her waist and tossed her in a lake.
Oh, yeah. That's the story they told us when we were younger
about a witch who drowned in the lake behind my grandmother's house.
Me and Adrian used to dare each other
to go swimming there at night and look for her body.
Crazy stuff, folks.
It's up here.
And the adventure begins.
Shall we?
No key.
She kept losing them.
I'm going to go find a place to plug in my camera.
Grandma?
Looks like your Grandma's caretaker left her file.
Medications, injections, MRI scans.
I'll handle this stuff.
You handle dinner.
Don't you think we should wait for my Grandma to eat?
Your Grandma could be asleep until tomorrow.
I'm not not eating until tomorrow.
Looks like your Grandma was getting pretty violent.
That's why she was kicked out of the facility.
Doesn't say anything about why her caretaker left, though.
Raj Anand.
This guy went to Johns Hopkins.
3.9 GPA, Jesus.
Look at his skin.
Wonder what kind of moisturizer he uses.
Sky, do you need help with that?
No, I got it.
Come on, let me help you.
I got it.
Sky, you're gonna burst a blood vessel--
I said I got it!
Are you making dinner or cleaning up the kitchen?
Can't rely on you for anything.
Liz, are you serious?
Stay here.
- What did I just say? - I'll just stay behind--
She doesn't know you.
She won't know you either.
Liz, please. Just stay here.
I'm not a dog.
Here, take the camera.
So rude.
Grandma?
Get out of my house.
Get out.
Grandma?
You're not supposed to be here.
You'll lose yourself.
Get out.
No!
Oh, my God.
Jesus.
What's your Wifi password here?
What? You can't last one night without your stalking?
I have to decompress at night. Okay?
I do that by scrolling through social media and hating people.
Sounds super healthy.
The hate keeps me warm.
Liz, don't be shallow.
You can't pull it off.
Just go to sleep.
Liz, where's my tea?
You weren't drinking tea.
Ugh.
Liz said that this film is as much about me as it is about Claire.
Um... Well...
I paint every day.
Sometimes when I'm trying to draw from memory,
I just close my eyes,
recreate the surroundings, and then I remember.
I don't want to!
I won't!
No, you can't.
You burn in hell!
Grandma?
Who are you talking to?
Talking?
Nobody.
Where's Walter?
Not here right now.
Are you hungry?
We can go inside.
I can make you some french toast.
You love that.
Where did you come from?
Grandma, it's me.
It's Sky.
Grandma, it's me. It's Sky.
Come on, let's go inside and make some french toast.
Why do we talk out loud when we're alone?
Because we know we're not.
Chase the dead and you'll lose yourself.
Uh-huh, I'll have him send it over. Yes.
Hi.
I'm looking for Dr. Song?
He is-- Are you a patient of his?
Um...
- I'm a relative. - Oh.
- Let me ping him for you. - Thank you.
What are you doing?
I really have to pee.
Why don't you go pee?
Can you hold this stuff really quickly?
No, go put it down.
- Hey. - Hey.
What's the status on 280?
We, uh, just lost her a half hour ago.
Jesus, what happened?
I guess she was a YouTube vlogger.
She tried to cut out her own larynx.
That's the third bullying one this month.
Look...
Adrian.
- Hey. - Hey.
Um, this is my friend.
I remember her.
Oh. [chuckles] Uh...
I've been Liz Oswald, nursing student at NYU.
Nice to meet you.
Oh, I'm sorry about your grandpa.
So what's going on?
Uh, can we go talk somewhere?
Yeah.
We found these MRI scans
in the file left from the last nurse.
I figured you could read them?
PET.
Do what?
Positron emission tomography.
Uses a chemical tracer.
Wow, you're really smart.
The hippocampus is diminished.
Smaller than it should be.
Leads to cognitive impairment.
So, textbook Alzheimer's.
So, what type of symptoms can a person normally expect to see?
No, there's-- there's no expecting, okay?
It could be anything.
Aphasia, for example,
understanding language, uh,
speaking, reading, writing.
Agnosia, deteriorating perception,
bumping into things, not recognizing people.
Adrian...
Apraxia, basic motor skills,
walking, standing, sitting down, getting dressed.
Catastrophic reactions to minor-
Okay! We get it!
This isn't a goddamn flu.
You can't expect reactions.
You can't expect anything. And you guys can't help.
She needs professional treatment.
What about, um, hallucinations?
Paranoia, maybe,
that, you know, someone's out to get you.
Or delusions, like your spouse is in love with someone else.
I'm not saying hallucinations are impossible.
They're just very rare.
Well, she's definitely seeing something.
And every time I try to snap her out of it, she ends up forgetting.
As if she's completely forgot whoever or whatever she was talking to.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
Was that your complete medical diagnosis?
- Yeah? - Look,
this isn't a surprise to anybody.
There was a mental digression.
We all saw it happen.
And Claire wasn't exactly helping prevent
- any of this from happening-- - You can't prevent it!
There's no cure for Alzheimer's.
Right.
But, unlike Claire, you can do certain things
- to try to inhibit-- - Don't!
No, no, no, wait.
Inhibit it how?
Look, there's--there's something called amyloid beta plaques.
They're like toxins that build up in the brain.
That buildup is what causes Alzheimer's.
Okay, so what do you do? You flush out the toxins,
right? You exercise.
That makes blood run through, flushing out the toxins.
You get good sleep, that regulates the blood flow,
flushing out the toxins.
You read or learn something new,
makes the brain more elastic, flushes out toxins.
Okay? That's science. That's how it works.
Claire never did any of these things. She never cracked a book
Grandma read every night.
Yeah, the Bible. Book she'd memorized.
You want to give your brain exercise,
you have to give it new information.
You don't always have a choice to what happens to you.
Right. But Claire had a choice.
And she chose to depend on grandpa for every single thing.
Don't. Preventable or not,
you still take care of family.
I'm her freaking doctor.
You keep telling yourself that.
I may have left Adrian.
But you're a goddamn coward.
Sky.
How do you figure?
There are more ways than one for you to abandon a person.
In your case, you hide behind the whole
doctor thing so you don't get emotionally involved
She should mean a lot more than a patient to you.
Can I say something?
I have no idea why you're here.
People make mistakes.
Sorry.
Hey! Hey, wait up.
What's wrong with you? Are you okay?
I'm fine.
You don't seem fine.
Liz. I'm fine.
What? What are you doing?
I'm trying to get a shot of you leaving--
Why do you have that out?
I need this--
Hey.
Are you okay?
Can we get some help over here?
Anyone?
Hey, hey, are--are you with someone?
Are--are you--
Jesus! Here it is! I must have dropped it.
Can you believe that?
Whatever, let's get out of here.
I swear...
a circular food served in a square box cut into triangles.
It just absolutely brilliant.
You know your shapes. I'll give you that much.
Did you hear that?
She's just watching TV upstairs.
Sky. Relax, okay? It's just the TV.
- It's not the TV. - No? Why not?
Because there's no TV upstairs.
We should call the police.
Sky...
No, what was that?
Sky. What are you doing?
Grandma, what is going on?
Hey!
Get out of my house!
I'll call the police!
Leave!
You okay?
Of course I'm okay.
Do you think it's still safe for us to be here?
I'm a lot less concerned for our safety
and more concerned on who we heard upstairs.
Maybe it's just the neighbors.
It's not the neighbors.
We say hello.
Yeah I'm just surprised to see you.
Is there a problem?
No I'm--I'm just off today and...
there is this festival going on, Totally your speed--
We're in.
We need to get out of this house.
Someone's got a case of the Mondays.
It's Thursday, you idiot.
So you guys down ?
Oh, uh... Hey.
Excuse me. We're doing a film on Alzheimer's.
Would you mind if I ask you a couple of questions?
Do you happen to know anyone who has Alzheimer's?
Um, my experience with Alzheimer's is a little removed.
But my great grandpa has it.
How did it affect you, knowing that?
But it does worry me a little bit.
Why is that?
Just in case it's genetic.
I think you mean hereditary.
- Genetic is a little bit different. - Adrian!
So my experience with Alzheimer's are with my grandfather.
He eventually stops recognizing all of us.
My experience with Alzheimer's is that it's really dreadful.
One's personality, one's character
are formulated by one's memories.
If they lose their memories, they lose themselves.
So, do either one of you have an experience with Alzheimer's?
Yeah, it's the skin disease, right?
No, man, it's not the skin disease.
- Yeah. - No.
Alzheimer's is when your brain goes off.
You can't think anymore.
Kim Kardashian has it. Kim K has it.
Why does she-- How does she have it?
On her legs and stuff.
Can I get a vanilla, too?
Before cars existed,
countries used to use ships to trade with each other.
And sometimes they would, like, you know, get stuck in the ice,
so they'd have to get in little boats, sail out and...
break the ice.
And on that note.
Adrian, what was sky like as a kid?
Honestly? Not much different than she is now.
So she wasn't like a crazy trouble maker or anything like that?
That's exactly how she was.
I'm sorry, was I the one with a permanent seat in the principal's office?
Really?
It was a few years of acting out.
Grandma was on a first name basis
with the superintendent for bailing him out.
Grandma.
Come sit.
Grandma, are you hungry?
You haven't eaten since yesterday.
Yesterday?
Yesterday.
What happened yesterday?
Do you remember something that happened?
Yesterday...
On the stair...
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today.
I wish...
I wish he'd go away.
Grandma...
Hey, so...
Did Grandma or Grandpa ever say anything to you about flowers by chance?
I mean there's flowers in the front and the back.
They never mentioned them.
Why?
Nothing.
She's just really different now.
No.
She's not the same person.
Aw, look at you two.
Actually talking like real people.
Water under the dam, huh?
Under the bridge?
It's both, right?
Under the bridge. Over the dam.
Can't be both.
Thank you, Liz.
I'm going to check on Grandma.
You guys are going to be okay.
Merry Christmas, huh?
Listen!
Look beneath the--the--
- the--the-- - Grandpa.
My experience with Alzheimer's is with my grandmother Claire Song.
She was my best friend, but now I don't recognize her.
I'm not afraid of dying. It seems...
Doesn't make sense to be afraid of something that's inevitable.
But... absolutely horrified,
terrified of getting sick,
losing my mind. All of my memories.
I'm not afraid of death.
I'm afraid of growing old.
That's what Alzheimer's has done to me.
I don't even know what we're supposed to be looking for?
How about we look for a shovel?
- Liz? - Yeah?
Shut up.
I'm going to go see what we can find in the garage.
What's he doing? He's gonna get hit.
Hello?
You shouldn't be running in the street.
It's not safe.
I told you.
I told you, don't run in the street
Now look what happened.
Behind you.
Sky?
Sky, what happened?
Sky!
911 emergency response.
Are you hurt? What's your emergency?
Sky, are you on the phone with the police right now?
- Sorry. - Miss?
This was a mistake call.
What is going on with you?
Liz, I definitely saw something.
I don't understand that.
There's gaps in my memory.
I don't remember calling the police,
but I swear I saw something.
Saw what?
I don't know, but something's not right.
I feel like I'm going crazy.
I gotta go.
Where are you going?
Raja Anand.
I just-- I don't think my grandma's caretaker just quit.
Something had to have happened.
Something like what?
I'm not sure, but it can't be a coincidence.
I mean, I'm around my Grandma and suddenly I just have memory gaps?
So it's about being around your grandma?
Why aren't I having memory problem?
Would you remember if you did?
For the record, let me just say again, I don't think this is a good idea.
Noted.
This is the address.
Come on.
Sky, I think we should go.
Who is
Mr. Anand, this is Sky Song.
Can we talk for a little bit?
Are--are--are you with pest control?
No, sir.
We just wanna ask you about your work.
Seems pleasant.
W--wait. Where is it?
Where the hell-- where the hell was it?
Where'd that damn thing go?
It--it was right here.
I-I swear to God.
Sit.
This guy went to Johns Hopkins?
Mr. Anand.
Raj.
Raj, um, you work at Crescent Hospital.
You're a caretaker there, correct?
Mhm. Mhm. Mhm. Mhm.
Mhm. Mhm.
But you don't anymore.
Anyone see my smokes?
I can't find them anywhere!
Who is it?
Adrian.
Shouldn't you pick that up?
I can't deal with him right now.
Do you think we should go?
No, I'm not leaving without at least getting some answers.
Raj!
You nursed my Grandma, Claire Song.
Do you remember her?
Sky.
Raj, what happened to you?
Why did you leave Claire?
You need to leave now.
Raj, I'm sorry, I didn't mean--
Get out!
It's not a good time.
We need to talk.
Is that Grandma's file?
What are these?
Oh, I found those in the garage. Uh...
Thought that'd be interesting to include in her file since she drew.
What's the problem?
So you remember how I used to scatter ashes
with Grandpa during some of my summers?
So one summer, this family comes in and they bring their dead mom.
Except she hasn't been cremated yet.
Family said it was too expensive.
So in comes this corpse.
So we cremate her.
Actually, her bag of ashes is still in the garage till this day.
And... uh...
It wasn't the best sight.
The lady found out that her husband was cheating on her.
So she decides the best way to move on with her life is to burn him alive.
So she does, and she gets part of her face burnt off
before she suffocates to death.
Um...
I was ten years old. And...
that lady with half of her face burnt off,
charred skin peeling.
It stayed with me every single day.
Adrian, I am so sorry.
That is horrible you had to go through that.
I wanted to.
I insisted on it, actually. I-- um...
felt that I owed my Gransmother.
So... Grandma drew her.
She's probably affected by the corpse, same as you.
I mean, she's an artist.
That's how she expresses herself.
No, Grandma never saw her.
No one saw her but me and grandpa.
But what--what do you mean?
No one saw the burnt woman.
But someone knew all about her.
The only person I told as a young kid.
The only person I trusted.
You, Sky.
I told you all about it.
Sky, you knew about this?
Sky, you mentioned something about Grandma seeing hallucinations?
Yeah, I mean, she talks to them,
and every time I try to snap her out of it, she...
Wait, why are you asking?
Do you ever see anything?
You gotta be kidding me.
Adrian, are you saying that Sky can be at risk of A--
At risk? Are you serious, Liz?
Sky, calm down. You called the cops and then you couldn't remember...
You called the police?
It was Grandma, obviously.
Was it?
Who the hell else would it be?
Adrian, this isn't me, okay?
Seems to only be you.
Yeah, well, what about Raj Anand?
How do you know Raj?
We, uh, went to see him today.
Yeah, and he's mentally insane.
And that's what happen when you live in this house.
Okay, so I picked the wrong caretaker.
Okay, that's on me.
But I doubt it's because Grandma's Alzheimer's is contagious.
That's not what anyone's saying.
Sky, you're my cousin and I'm concerned for you.
I think maybe you should be seen.
Don't talk to me like I'm other people, ever.
[bed springs creaking
I think Grandpa saw them.
And Grandma sees them now.
And I think we're seeing them, too.
We, like, am I seeing them?
Sky, honey, what do you mean?
We're seeing them, but we forget.
Like, our minds can't hold on to their memory.
Just us? So, like, this phenomenon just lives in this family?
What about Liz?
No, it's not just us.
And I think we've all seen them before.
Just more around Grandma and Grandpa.
Why?
I don't know.
We all just started experiencing this this week.
No, we've always seen them.
As long as there has been
something in the corner of your eye, or...
creaking on the floorboards or breathing down your neck.
It's like when you pass by a door
and you think, you--you swear it, you swear you saw someone,
and when you go back, no one's there.
Or when you walk into a room and...
you completely forget why you were there in the first place.
You swear you feel like someone is standing right behind you.
Adrian, listen.
What exactly is it you think we're seeing?
Oh, my God.
Jesus.
I-I think we just saw it.
Okay. What's going on?
We just saw a ghost.
I feel so strange. Why do I feel so strange?
Maybe because you're trying to kill me.
Oh, my God.
- Sky... - What are you doing?
What the hell?
I didn't do this. I didn't even grab the knife.
Why are you holding a knife to me?
Adrian, you know you felt something too.
- Sky-- - We saw one, Adrian.
Every time someone says you look like you'd seen a ghost,
we just saw one.
It's literally why we're doing all these things.
Got it. I-I get it, okay?
I really do.
You do?
First we lost Grandpa.
I know how much he meant to you.
And Grandma has Alzheimer's.
We know we're going to lose her too.
But this isn't the solution.
That's not what's happening.
It all makes sense.
Don't forget the dead.
First you abandoned your family because you couldn't fix it.
...it's like every time you---
Grandpa died. You feel guilty.
- So you're overcompensating... - You forget, and you lose your memory.
...with Grandma before she dies too.
And you're creating this whole delusion.
- Why--why are you saying this? - Because no one wants to be reminded of death, Sky.
You don't realize it, but it's the ultimate dread behind everything we fear.
And when someone close to you dies, you sit down and you really think about it.
But it makes you realize that there is no escape.
It's going to happen. And it scares all of us.
But this isn't the solution
To--to believe that you can come back is just wrong.
We studied cases of early onset Alzheimer's, but even then, the patients...
were in their thirties.
And I don't-- I don't know--
I don't know if that's what's happening to Sky now.
Liz, are you-- are you seeing these?
I don't think so.
Those weren't with the ones in the garage.
What about this one?
Mm-hmm.
Where did these come from? They weren't here before.
I mean, you-- There's no possible way
you don't know what's going on right now.
I mean, we're literally missing time.
Sky.
Sky!
I think it's really important that we listen to what Adrian has to say, okay?
If we catch this early enough, then it's possible-
When people say you look like you've just a ghost,
it's because we just did downstairs.
Sky, I...
I-- um... I just-- I don't know.
I don't know how to help you anymore.
Well, it's not like you've been that big of a help anyway.
Liz, look at me!
Who-who are you?
You are not seeing the dead.
Sky, what is going on with you? Are you okay?
So it was Liz, but looked like someone else?
No, I-I don't know if it was Liz.
Oh, it was me, love.
I have the bump on the back of my head to prove it.
And just for the record here,
you're still convinced this is because you're seeing ghosts.
And then we are forgetting.
You remember seeing Liz.
Hey, that was different.
This time the ghost... was inside her.
Jesus.
Where'd you find these?
Right here. Right next to my bed.
So you drew them?
I don't remember drawing them.
but yes, I drew the ghost, like, to remind us like a warning.
Just like downstairs.
Don't forget the dead.
Why are you being like this?
Hey, I have no problem admitting
that there are things that happen that we can't explain.
That is enough, Adrian.
- But right here, now, - What are you talking about?
there's a very sick old lady
that is seeing things that don't exist.
Stop talking to me like that.
Like what?
Like I'm a patient that needs a doctor.
And her granddaughter who shares her blood is also seeing thing.
And you want me to jump to the conclusion that there are ghosts?
Where's my cousin?
He's been right here.
Where have you been?
Wait a minute.
Can we test your theory?
Yes.
How do we do that?
I have an idea.
Nice TV.
All right, so w--where am I pulling up?
Like when?
I don't know.
When did you feel odd?
There was outside, in the front.
Sky?
We play this and we find nothing.
I'll drop it.
And you'll leave.
I'm gonna go see what we can find in the garage.
I don't-- I don't know what's going on.
Okay, when else?
So here is the nursing home
that my Grandma used to stay at before she went back to her house.
Adrian. How many more times do you have to see?
Adrian.
Okay, let's be pragmatic.
Logically speaking, this can't be a coincidence.
Logically speaking, no...
but still, people see what they want to see.
That's exactly my point.
Okay.
If we're seeing things but we're forgetting,
problem of how do we remember what we're forgettin
It... it would mean that we have pockets of time missing.
But we have to test your theory.
And how do you plan on doing that?
Carefully.
We see anything remotely strange, we call each other.
But if you look away from it, you'll forget.
Then we don't look away.
We leave voicemails,
detailed voicemails of everything that we've seen.
But how are we supposed to leave
voicemails if you don't know we'll have enough time?
I'm open to other ideas.
How are we...
Oh my God! Oh my God!
Shh! Quiet.
She's right outside.
Sky, when we hang up the call, touch my shoulder.
Just do it...
I'm sorry, I can't speak now...
I... I don't understand.
- Adrian... - Hang on.
Just give me a second.
- Adrian, come on-- - Hang on, please!
This has this, like, post hypnotic suggestion
that what we see, when we see them, they can make us do things.
But if the ghosts are all about control, why would they want that?
Maybe it's just that. To control us.
To make us do things, to remind us.
Remind us of what?
Nobody wants to be forgotten even after they're dead.
Turn the lights off. Quickly.
Quickly.
Guys, we have to get out of here now!
Where... where is?
Wait, wait, what's happening?
What's happening?
We were leaving, but...
Why I can't remember? Goddamnit!
Sjy, were you drawing?
Adrian, this is going to keep happening.
We're going to keep forgetting
Uh, I think, guys,
we have to keep repeating it.
Repeating what?
There is a ghost.
I'm seeing a ghost.
Don't forget we are seeing ghosts.
Guys, to the door.
We have to leave right now.
Don't forget the dead.
Let's go,
What are you guys talking about?
There are three ghosts.
Three of them.
There's the pilgrim ghost.
If I would confess, I would save my life!
Come on...
Save me.
I am wholly innocent.
God knows I am innocent.
I can deny all accusations of wicked
Please, please save me.
It's Louise Holloway.
Don't forget me!
Adrian!
Your name is Louise Holloway.
You were wrongfully accused of [stuttering] witchcraft
and you were wrongfully murdered.
The city is named after you.
You were not forgotten.
You two go. I gotta go get grandma.
Are you serious?
Adrian, she's in danger. I can't leave here up there.
Come on! We have to go!
Just go-- just go to the car, I'll be right there.
Leave me alone!
Sky!
We came after
What the hell happened?
I don't know.
You said you were getting Grandma.
We--we can't get out.
We're trapped.
We're not trapped, Sky. You never left.
I was just driving.
You know what?
I'll prove it to you.
Stay here.
What happened?
What-- what happened?
Nothing happened.
I-I-I-I was running in the middle of the street.
You never moved.
Look, we need to stay together, you guys, okay?
It's not a good idea for us to split up.
We should--
Adrian!
Sky!
Sky! Sky! Sky, please.
I can't-- I can't be-- I can't be alone.
I can't--I can't be alone.
Grandma?
Hi.
Grandma, we have to get out of here. We have to leave.
It's not safe. We have to find a way out.
I've tried, sweetheart.
I've tried for so long, but there is no way out.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry I left you.
Sky, you can't blame yourself.
It was difficult.
Of course it was.
And I never wanted to, not even for a minute.
But when you got sick and all of a sudden,
you stopped remembering and--
Wait, Grandma, what is happening here?
How are you remembering this?
I don't have to run anymore.
No, no, no, no, no!
No! No!
I have not been impure.
I did not make contracts with Satan...
I-I [stuttering] I know. I know.
I'm just a woman with mind and soul.
I am a woman of mind and soul.
You need to go now.
But you're gone.
And I'm gonna forget.
Finally, I'm with you after all these years.
And then, right when I turn my back,
I'm just gonna forget everything.
Take Adrian.
Take your friend and go.
After all these years, you're still thinking about us.
I have a duty of care.
Look beneath the flowers.
Beneath the flowers.
I need you to go now.
I can't--I can't leave.
Close your eyes.
Sometimes you have to close your eyes to really see.
Go now.
I don't wanna go, I just got you back.
You don't have me, sweetheart.
Go.
Don't forget the dead, Sky.
Don't forget the dead.
They can't catch you now.
You're safe, child.
Be at peace.
Don't forget the dead. Don't forget the dead.
It's hard.
I don't know where to start,
or where to end, I guess.
Claire Song passed away nearly a month ago.
While we got some insight into how she lived and suffered,
the effects on her family are perhaps...
ongoing.
It's possible that they never really go away.
We all left the house feeling unsettled.
Some days we felt depressed or scared.
It's hard to remember it all. Not sure why.
All in all, we left with a lot more questions than answers.
If there is an effect,
one we can't fully describe,
that we've all somehow... changed
We still don't know everything about Alzheimer's.
Causes, prevention.
Still a lot to learn.
But what I do know is that...
when we forget the dead, we lose a part of ourselves.
So...
If I can leave you with one thing...
Don't forget the dead.
Sky.
