They passed the time with
a leisurely honeymoon for a year.

:28:04
They circled the globe on liners
like this one. The Ocean Star.

:28:07
John Rimbauer's favorite part
of the grand tour was Africa.

:28:10
Ellen didn't enjoy it quite as much.
In fact, she nearly died.

:28:12
Was it malaria?
Probably not.

:28:19
In her diary she called it
"an unmentionable disease...

:28:21
...carried by men
and suffered by women."

:28:22
Doesn't exactly look prostrate
with worry, does he?

:28:23
Ellen recovered, and when they
took up residence in Rose Red...

:28:24
...she was pregnant.
:28:29
January 1909, that would have been.
John thought the house was finished.

:28:30
The Rimbauers! They're here!
:28:33
How beautiful you are, Rose Red.
:28:35
Wlnat lne didn't know is that
tlne house would never be done.

:28:37
Not in his lifetime, not in hers.
:28:41
What makes Rose Red one of the world's
most fascinating psychic artifacts...

:28:42
...is that the house continued to grow
until its death in 1 995 or '96.

:28:44
Until 1 950, changes were made
according to the will of Ellen.

:28:46
And her will, ladies and gentlemen,
was iron.

:28:48
After 1 950....
:28:50
After 1 950, Rose Red grew on its own.
:28:52
In tlne fall of 1909,
Ellen Rimbauer gave birth to a son.

:28:54
Grampy.
Your grandfather, really?

:28:57
Yeah, I'm afraid so.
:28:58
In her diary she wrote, "I have called
him Adam, for he is the first."

:29:01
Sukeena, wlno cane fron Africa,
saw her through tlne difficult labor.

:29:03
Ellen never refers
to Sulkeena as lner servant.

:29:05
First, slne calls lner "my friend. "
And later, "my sister. "

:29:07
Wlnen slne gave birth to a dauglnter
witln a withered arn...

:29:09
...slne blaned lner siclkness
and Joln's sexual appetites.

:29:15
Although she wrote,
"In my mind, they are one."

:29:17
To which she added, "Damn all men."
:29:19
Their dauglnter was born
in April of 191 1.

:29:21
And April was wlnat they called her.
:29:23
After her dauglnter's birth,
Ellen becane convinced...

:29:28
... that her fever, which recurred
periodically, would kill her young.

:29:31
That nade her easy gane
for Madane Stravinski.

:29:33
If you have anything to say to us...
:29:35
...you may use my body to speak.
:29:37
Give us a sign.
:29:38
Show us a sign.
:29:40
Not even Sukeena could convince her
tlnat slne was a fraud.

:29:44
Beloved spirits, we invite you
to commune with us.

:29:48
Show us a sign.
:29:51
Fraud or not, Madane Stravinski...
