I'll be giving you a variety of these
during the course of the week.
:28:05
You are not in competition,
so do not worry about being
the head of the class, okay ?
:28:10
Between all these tests,
you'll have each other--
:28:13
Todd-- and the house
to keep you company.
:28:16
Luke. Eleanor.
:28:19
- But we can't go to town.
- No.
:28:23
And as you were told, there's no
telephone service, there's no TV.
:28:26
And the caretakers tend to lock the gate
when they leave. However,
:28:31
I do have my trusty cell telephone,
in case of emergencies, okay ?
:28:36
And, um, what's the deal with
the Adams Family mansion ?
Because, I gotta be honest,
:28:40
- I don't get a real strong
sleep vibe from this place.
- No. Me too.
:28:44
I wanted to make sure
you didn't sleep too easily.
:28:46
- Congratulations.
- Seriously, isolation is essential...
:28:50
in the creation
of an experimental model.
:28:53
This house, who built it ?
Who lived here ?
:28:56
Well, actually, that makes
for a very good bedtime story.
:29:02
Once upon a time,
there was a king who built a castle.
:29:06
His name was Hugh Crain.
:29:08
A hundred and thirty years ago,
:29:10
towns like Concord and Manchester
were the center of American industry.
:29:14
That's where Crain
made a fortune--
:29:16
on the backs of workers
in his textile mills.
:29:18
Now, this man could have
anything he wanted,
:29:21
but what he wanted
more than anything...
:29:23
was a house filled
with the laughter of children.
:29:25
That's why there are
all the carvings.
:29:29
He married the most beautiful
woman in town, called Rene,
:29:32
and he built her this house,
or at least some of it.
:29:35
God, it sounds like
a fairy tale or something.
:29:38
But that's where the fairy tale ends.
:29:40
Hugh and Rene
would have no children.
:29:43
They all died at birth.
:29:45
Then, a few years later,
Rene, she passed away,
:29:48
and Crain became
a total recluse.
:29:50
But he kept on building,
adding room upon room.
:29:54
It's as if he was-- he was building a
home for the family he would never have.
:29:59
No one had seen
Crain for years.
