(Mr. Peek panting)
(Paris yells) (person screams)
(both laughing)
- I'm so sorry, guys.
Obviously not what you were expecting
when you clicked on "New House Tour."
(both laughing)
- But we couldn't help serving up our Winterlings
with a little October surprise.
- This was all Paris's idea, I promise you.
- But if you want the full scoop
on what you just saw a few seconds ago, don't click away.
(Rebecca chuckles)
(pensive music)
(music continues)
- When Paris told me this channel could help us support
a house someday in Los Angeles,
I told him he was nuts (laughs)!
- But with your help and the loyalty and love of you,
our Winterlings,
we have built a wonderful community,
a family that's let us work
on Waking Up with the Winters full time.
Don't worry, you are gonna get an actual house tour.
- But first... (Paris chuckles)
- We want you to see how long of a journey this has been.
When we first came out to LA together,
we had no idea we were gonna start a YouTube channel.
I was a musician.
Rebecca was trying to be an actor...
(chuckles) Was an actor.
- We were hustling, okay?
Nonstop.
I mean, I was waitressing, doing background,
working lots of weird jobs.
- (sighs) So many weird jobs,
but for all the work we were putting into our careers,
and we've been doing that work a long time
since we first met in Chicago, nothing was happening.
- We were stuck.
- And I got tired waiting for someone to notice us.
So, I jumped over the gatekeepers
and went directly to you, the audience.
I'm gonna run a 10k today.
I'm scared outta my mind.
(laughs) I haven't run in a long time.
It wasn't easy.
Lots of people are trying to do what we did,
and at first, I didn't have Rebecca on board.
- I always wanted to be in front of the camera,
but I wasn't sure if I was ready for something like this.
You know, something where there's no script,
where it's just me.
Plus, someone had to pay the bills.
After a lot of convincing
and a pandemic that kept us locked
in our apartment for a year and a half?
- Rebecca agreed to give it a shot since, you know,
there wasn't really anything else to do.
(Rebecca chuckles)
Come on, come on.
You've never done it.
You're gonna do it. - No.
- All right. - I don't know what to do.
- All right, it's 2020.
It's a little after the moment, but let's see ya adapt.
Take this arm right here.
- Okay. - You're gonna
do the chicken wing.
You gonna boop, like that. - 'Kay.
- You're gonna take your head
and you're gonna put it right in here.
Just like a COVID cough, you know?
That's how we cough now.
- Relatable. - COVID cough.
Okay, ready? - Okay, okay.
- One, two, three, COVID cough.
Oh. - Mm.
- She did it, folks. - Oh, I even made the sound.
- She did it, she did it.
- That is the only time I'll ever do it.
You're welcome. - That's not true.
That's not true. - Okay,
- I'm gonna get her - can you just stop now?
- to do it again.
And the rest is history.
Now, instead of working dead end jobs,
I get to make content every day with my best friend
and share our lives with all of you.
- [Rebecca] And we're so, so grateful for the lives
you've allowed us to live.
- [Paris] And this is just the beginning.
We can't wait to share even more with you
as we enter this new chapter.
- Now, we promised you a house tour.
- Plus, some answers on that VHS tape.
- So, stick with us.
(both chuckling)
(bright music)
- Good morning, Winterlings.
We're in our new house.
(Rebecca chuckles)
We're in our new house.
- Oh my gosh.
So happy to be here. - Oh, man.
And we're happy to take you with us.
Let's go check it out.
So we spent a lot of time looking for a home,
somewhere that we can really raise a family.
- Yeah, the neighborhood is great.
It feels really safe.
There's so much stuff to walk to.
It's perfect (laughs). (helicopter whirring)
- There's helicopters.
- Oh yeah, welcome to LA. - Hello.
Let's head inside.
(both laughing)
- All right! - All right, so welcome
to Che Winter.
(Rebecca laughs)
I mean, look at this place.
So, we actually, we got it through an estate sale,
which meant that it actually kinda
came like partially furnished.
- Yeah, which is good and bad.
- But I mean, hey, a rug's a rug, right (laughs)?
- 70's chic.
- Yes.
Okay, let's head upstairs.
- Okay, so there's two bedrooms up here and-
- So, we might end up needing another one very soon.
So (laughs).
- Hm, okay. - But, yeah.
But this one... So anyway,
so we decided to make one of them our studio.
- [Paris] Mm hm.
- This is where the magic happens.
- This is where the magic happens right here.
- According to Paris. - Yeah (laughs).
Over here in the primary bedroom,
this is where things get a little interesting.
- Yeah.
- So. - Okay,
so there was a ton of stuff in here
and we were choosing what to keep, what to get rid of.
- Yeah.
- And then we went into this little cubby thing.
- Yeah. - I don't know.
- What's up with that?
- I've never seen that before.
(Paris laughs) (Rebecca vocalizes)
Okay.
And what do you make of that (chuckles)?
- (chuckles) Tell 'em what it is.
- Okay, well, there was a whole box of these VHS tapes.
- VHS tapes, that's right.
- And they all have these weird sort of cryptic labels.
- On the side of the box it says, Mr. Peek.
- Hm. - So, we didn't buy
this house from a Mr. Peek,
so, we couldn't resist. - Yeah.
- We tracked down one of...
Oh man, it's so heavy.
One of these bad boys.
But we also digitized all of these tapes
so that you can watch them too.
- So... Before we show
you the rest of that tape that you saw at the beginning-
- Mr. Peek, whoever that is really
wants us to watch this one first.
- Yeah. - So, I think
we're gonna listen. - We're gonna do it.
So, stay tuned and check out, "Watch me first."
(Rebecca vocalizes) (static crackling)
(eerie music) (Mr. Peek breathing heavily)
(music continues)
- [Mr. Peek] If you are watching this tape,
something has happened to me.
You've also probably found the rest of the tapes.
Their contents are private moments
that are meant for me, and me alone.
(static crackling)
- So naturally, we decided we're gonna watch
the rest of the tapes.
- Yay (laughs)!
- And just wait till you see what we've found.
Now, let's go back to that tape you saw a bit
of at the start of this video.
(static crackling)
(pensive music)
(music continues)
(Mr. Peek breathing heavily)
(music continues)
(static crackling)
- Don't love that.
- You're probably wondering,
what the hell did I just watch?
Who was that guy?
What's he doing in that tape, and who is that girl?
- In our next few videos,
we're gonna try to get you some answers.
- And in the meantime, be sure to like, share and subscribe.
(static crackling)
(eerie music)
- [Mr. Peek] I did not record my first subject,
and I've always regretted it.
I was worried about the digital traces
that filming would leave behind.
The cameras of today betray you.
They capture too much.
But a tape,
a tape is something I can hold in my hand.
It cannot act without you.
It is beholden to you.
And now, in the digital age,
there are too many pipes and wires and signals.
We were not meant to process
this much information to be seen
and perceived so often,
but in here with this,
we are safe in our closed loop,
and there's only us,
the ghosts in the tape,
and you.
The internet is nothing but an abyss of lies
and fun house mirrors.
And do not mistake my condemnation
for lack of understanding.
I know how to leverage the internet,
but you cannot trust anything you find or see there.
You never know who you're talking to
until they're right in front of you.
My mother taught me that.
(static crackling)
(both exhaling) (mysterious music)
- Guy takes his privacy really seriously.
- I'm sure he'd be thrilled we're doing all of this.
(both chuckling)
- So, we're assuming that the man in this tape, Mr. Peek,
is actually Avery Duncan,
the previous owner of this house,
which again, we bought an estate sale as is.
- Which means that Avery Duncan is dead.
- Mm hm, and won't be bothered if we try
to figure out whatever it was he left behind.
- We are just as in the dark as all of you.
- Yeah, we haven't watched all the tapes yet,
so we have no idea what's coming.
We're watching them as we make these videos.
As we dig deeper into Mr. Peek,
we're gonna try something new.
We know that you Winterlings have been begging us
to try live streaming and we've been listening.
- So, (chuckles) tomorrow, starting at eight p.m. Pacific-
- (chuckles) We are gonna do our first official live-stream.
We're gonna watch the next tape with you all together.
You're gonna get our real reactions in real time,
and it's gonna be amazing.
- See you then (chuckles).
- Yeah (laughs).
- [Rebecca] What are you doing?
- It's for the gratitude thing.
- That's supposed to be a therapeutic exercise.
- Don't worry, don't worry.
It's not going online.
- Oh.
- So, this is part of it, this is part of it.
So, I've been tracking our numbers as always,
and our numbers are flat.
You knew that, right?
- Yeah.
- Well, after this new video, they're growing again.
And I think if we can keep up this rate,
I think that we could
hit 1,000,000 subscribers by Halloween,
and I'm grateful for that.
- Okay, I just...
- Okay, okay.
So, we'll do the gratitude exercise,
we'll talk about what we're grateful for each day,
but none of what we say is gonna go online, okay?
I'm just gonna use the visuals from this to like,
cut together into a super cut.
No audio, just something really raw
and real that we can post as a thank you.
- Can't this just be for us (chuckles)?
- We can't plateau again, okay?
And when we hit 1,000,000,
our fans are gonna want something authentic.
They want the real us.
- Well, I only want people
to see me when I want them to see me.
(Paris sighs)
- You know that's not how it works.
(Rebecca chuckles)
Come on, have a seat.
Let's do it.
- Okay.
No audio.
- Yeah, no.
Look, you'll get to look at everything
before it goes online.
- Okay.
(Rebecca sighs)
Okay (chuckles).
I'm grateful that we moved into this house
and for the life that you've allowed us to live.
I mean, we went from not being able
to pay our utility bills to...
I just can't do this,
this feels so weird. - Oh, hey, hey,
just talk to me.
Just talk to me, okay?
Just pretend it's not there.
- But it is. - Okay, I...
- It's pretty obvious. - Look,
I know you can do this.
Just ignore it.
- Paris, it's two videos a week already.
I'm exhausted.
- Look, it doesn't have to be a big, long thing.
Just tell me what you're grateful for.
- Okay.
I really am grateful for this house
and for us and for you (chuckles).
(Paris chuckles)
- Thank you.
And what I'm grateful for, you, obviously,
but I'm also grateful
for everything great that's coming next.
(Rebecca chuckles) (Paris chuckles)
- You don't think that the Mr. Peek stuff
is anything real, right?
- It's nothing that could hurt us.
- Okay (chuckles).
- See, see?
That wasn't too bad.
- Hm. - Right?
- Just, that's the only time, okay?
I just wanna go to bed now.
- Okay, okay, we'll go to bed.
We'll go to bed. - Okay, thanks.
Now can you stop filming?
- Okay, sure.
- Don't film me going to bed.
- Okay, yeah.
John, John, Paris.
Nice to meet you.
What's your name? - Hi, I'm Clara.
- Rebecca. - Rebecca, right?
- Yeah.
- You guys wanna take a picture or, you know?
- Oh my God, please.
Can we? - Yeah, absolutely.
- Yeah. - I would love that.
- [Clara] I wanted to ask but I wasn't sure.
- Oh no, of course.
Of course. - Oh, yeah.
- Thank you so much. - Let's do it.
- One, two, three.
(Rebecca chuckles)
- Oh, perfect.
Awesome. - Thank you guys so much.
- Of course, yeah.
- Nice to meet you. - Yeah,
it was nice to meet you.
- Have a great day. - Take care.
- You too. - You guys have
a great day. - And be sure to,
the live-stream tonight, eight p.m.
- Oh, yeah. - 100%.
We're gonna be watchin'.
- See you. - See you there.
- See you then, bye.
Good evening, Winterlings,
and welcome to our first official live-stream (chuckles).
- Hi, everyone (chuckles).
- Wait, is it goin'?
Is it live?
- The little red thing is blinking, so.
- (chuckles) Well,
let's hope we're going (chuckles).
This is new territory for us, so please bear with us.
But anyway, we know you guys are all very curious
about what's goin' on with our friend, Mr. Peek.
- And I just wanna say a huge thank you
to everyone who has tried to ID the woman in the video
and make sure she's safe.
I know the footage is really, really grainy,
and obviously if we think anyone is in any sort of danger,
we will turn everything over to the police immediately.
- (chuckles) Well, but let's be clear
that we don't actually know if anything real
or dangerous or even illegal has happened.
- Okay, but the tape is really creepy
and messed up if it is real.
(both chuckling)
- But I think it's also, we're keeping in mind
that Avery Duncan, AKA, Mr. Peek,
the guy who used to own this house is dead and gone.
He can't hurt us or anyone else (chuckles).
- Well, if it is real, he may have hurt someone.
- And if that's true,
then watching these tapes
is the first step to getting them justice.
So, we're gonna go ahead and put on the next tape.
But don't worry if anything like screwed up happens,
anything like that, we'll cut it off.
But again, we have not watched this yet, so I'm just gonna,
I'm gonna try to share my screen here.
Gimme a sec.
All right, ready?
- Yeah.
- (chuckles) All right, here we go.
- [Mr. Peek] Tonight,
I will be trying something different,
and then I suspect it will be time to advance.
(static crackling)
(Mr. Peek breathing heavily)
(fist knocking)
(light switch clicks)
(urine splashing)
(toilet flushes)
(light switch clicks)
(curtain rungs clattering)
(rosary clattering)
(Allison gasps)
(static crackling)
- We need to stop.
- Okay. - Hm mm, hm mm.
- Obviously this is pretty disturbing stuff,
but we didn't actually see-
- We're gonna stop and we're gonna wrap this up
and we will circle back with a new video ASAP.
Thank you, guys (chuckles).
- Thanks, everyone (chuckles).
- I think it's off.
Did you watch it?
- Okay, you're upset.
- [Rebecca] Did you?
- Of course I watched it.
I mean, we couldn't go in completely blind.
- You told me it was fine.
- I told you it wasn't gonna hurt us.
- That was not fine.
- Okay, do you really think
that I would let us stream something
could hurt us and what we're doing here?
- Hurt us?
You hurt that fucking girl.
- We don't know that, okay?
If we knew that for sure,
then obviously I wouldn't have fuckin' put it on.
You know, it's probably...
Look, it's probably some sort of weird kinky sex tape
or something like that. - Oh my God,
okay even if it was a sex thing,
did that look consensual to you?
Huh? (Paris sighs)
- Rebecca, the guy's dead.
Okay?
So, I mean-
- We gotta give these to the police.
- The police? - Mm hm.
- And what?
Tell them, "Hey look, we found this sex tape that..."
There's no crime on it.
What are we gonna tell 'em?
- We're in his house.
Do you think he did something here?
- I mean, it kinda looked like-
- Paris! - What?
Oh, shit.
So, if you watched our live-stream last night,
you know the tape we showed you was a lot.
We wanna apologize to anyone who wasn't ready for that.
From here on out,
if we're talking about Mr. Peek,
assume things could get weird.
- We've contacted the police, shared what we know.
They're looking into it.
- We also wanna do everything we can to help.
So, while we did turn over
all the physical VHS tapes to the police,
we do still have the digital files showing what's on them.
And we also recognize the power
of the internet and what you,
our Winterlings are capable of.
We think that together we might be able to do some good.
With that in mind, we wanna share with you the next tape.
(static crackling)
- [Mr. Peek] The addition
of the knocking produced a new thrill.
She must have heard me
or felt me even subconsciously.
Did any part of her truly suspect my presence?
Did she wonder?
Did she feel safe?
I sometimes question my choice not to film
the subsequent stages of the process.
They are undeniably compelling
and I would no doubt take great pleasure
in revisiting the footage.
But no.
Some things are only meant to be seen once.
But sometimes,
I cannot help myself.
(unsettling music)
Perhaps,
just a small peek?
(static crackling)
(eerie music)
(Allison breathing heavily) (chair rattling)
(music continues)
(Allison yells)
(static crackling)
- Obviously, pretty disturbing stuff.
- It's sick.
So, I'm gonna offer a private Zoom,
or video chatter or whatever to anybody
who can help ID her or might have any leads.
- We don't know much about Avery Duncan.
We couldn't find an obituary
or even any real presence of him online.
The guy's a ghost.
We're gonna keep goin' through the tapes.
If you haven't already,
don't forget to like, share and subscribe.
(Paris exhales)
Hey, Rebecca?
- [Rebecca] Turn it off.
- Okay, okay.
I know you're not crazy about this,
but... Don't!
- Paris, off.
- I just, I think that like we should give it a chance.
- We're not doing this anymore.
- Okay.
Okay.
We're gonna help that woman.
- Is it off?
- Yes.
- Okay, well she could already be-
- Look, don't go there, okay?
- Oh my God.
- Look, we're gonna do somethin'.
- Oh, are we? - Yeah.
Yeah.
Look... Enlighten me.
- Okay, I know that it's strange and scary and everything,
but in a weird way,
I'm grateful for this opportunity
and I'm grateful for your resilience.
- Oh.
- And your passion and your dedication
to doing what's right.
And look, look at me, look.
I'm sorry, okay?
I'm sorry again for not being upfront
with you about that tape, okay?
That's my fuck up.
And I promise you it will not happen again.
Okay?
I love you, all right?
And everything I do, everything I do is for us.
- Okay.
Well, I'm just grateful that we're safe
and that I'm not alone (chuckles),
because I'd be scared.
- I mean, honestly, I would good too.
(Rebecca sighs) (Paris chuckles)
- Okay (chuckles).
- I'm just gonna tear this down.
(intriguing piano music)
Hey guys, welcome back to Waking Up with the Winters.
- We've got some important updates
on the Mr. Peek investigation.
- Since we have all the VHS tapes digitized,
we took a broad look at their organization
and realized we didn't actually start at the beginning.
It looks like Mr. Peek goes through a cycle.
- Yeah, he's done this several times,
at least four different times with four different women.
Each cycle ends the same way.
Mr. Peek appears to attack them
and we don't see them in any other tapes.
And then the next cycle seems to start
about 10 or so months later.
- Mr. Peek was doing this for awhile
and he had it down to a science.
What you're about to see, it's gonna explain some things.
(static crackling)
(fist knocks)
- Hi, you're here for the sink, right?
- [Mr. Peek] Yeah.
Oh, it's a liability thing.
My boss wants footage.
- You don't have a smartphone (chuckles)?
- [Mr. Peek] No.
You want me to fix the sink?
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
Sorry, yeah.
Come in.
(Sarah's throat clears)
(door closes)
(lock clicks)
Right this way.
(key clinks)
It's not like a crisis yet or anything.
It just keeps dripping
and the sound is very annoying.
That one.
- [Mr. Peek] I'll take a look.
- All right, thank you.
I'll be right over here. - Okay.
(static crackling)
(dog barking)
- [Sarah] All finished?
- [Mr. Peek] Afraid it's gonna need a clamp.
I don't have the right one on me.
I'll have to come back.
- Should I be worried?
- [Mr. Peek] Oh, no, no, no, no.
You're all set it.
It's not gonna be a problem,
but I'll be back in a day or two.
- Okay, thank you. - Yeah.
- [Sarah] I'll see ya soon (chuckles).
Thank you.
Bye.
(static crackling)
- [Mr. Peek] She is as perfect in person as I hoped.
Perhaps I will advance immediately.
(static crackling)
- The sooner that we can find out
who any of these women are,
the sooner that we can confirm they're safe,
or if they're not,
then maybe we can bring their families some peace.
- We'll be back next week with another video.
Don't forget to like, share and subscribe.
Thank you guys so much.
I don't know, I don't see what the big deal is.
- Well, I mean, there's a lot going on
and I thought I could justify this to myself,
but I don't think I can.
I mean, these are real women.
- I get that, but we have a platform
and I think we have an obligation to try and use it.
- The is called bullshit.
Don't act like this isn't about the channel.
- Babe, without the channel, what are we?
Three years ago we were living paycheck to paycheck.
Remember that, you know? - Mm hm.
- We had no savings and no plan.
We had no future.
We can't stop now.
We gotta bet on ourselves.
That's what we do.
- We can make other videos.
- We can make other videos?
Oh, we're gonna do movie reviews again?
- Okay, okay.
You don't have to be a dick about it.
- Here, lemme show you somethin'.
You see this?
This is our minutes watched over the last month, okay?
This is the first Mr. Peek video.
Can see that?
- Yeah, it's a lot.
- A lot?
It doubled.
Okay?
Our minutes view doubled versus the last video.
If you stop hosting what's working
or if you even take a break, the algorithm fucks us.
I mean, you remember Hawaii,
when we went dark for a week?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, well... It was great.
- I mean, yes it was.
But in terms of the channel, we lost all of our momentum
and we're just now starting to get it back.
So, we have a mortgage now.
Okay, you get that?
Like, we can't afford to fuck up again.
You know?
I'm not saying that I love Mr. Peek stuff.
Honestly, the whole thing's fuckin' weird.
But for whatever reason, that's what our fans like.
Maybe it's like a true crime thing or somethin',
I don't know.
But they love it, and it's our job to listen
to them and give them what they want.
Do you wanna go back to bein' a fuckin' waitress?
- I just don't want it to feel exploitative.
- It won't be, okay?
You're trying to make a difference here.
Remember?
Excuse me...
Hi, everyone.
We are aware there's a fan video of us going around.
A lot of those comments were taken out of context.
- I wanted to voice my full support
for what we're doing with the Mr. Peek investigation.
- The two of us are a team.
We make decisions together.
We're united on this.
- Yeah.
(static crackling)
(Mr. Peek breathing heavily)
(dream catcher clinking)
(fist knocking)
(Mr. Peek panting)
(Sarah gasping)
- No, no, no, no!
(Sarah sobbing) (Mr. Peek breathing heavily)
(static crackling)
- [Mr. Peek] Something unfortunate has happened.
The subject managed to escape her confines.
I had no choice but to terminate the process,
which is especially tragic given her status.
(sighs) This is my first failure.
Something, something else is wrong.
She should not have been able to escape on her own.
And in truth, I can sense something watching me,
seen something in the dark,
and last night it knocked on my bedroom door
the way I knock on theirs.
(static crackling)
(gentle music)
- Terminate?
- Well, I think based on what we just saw,
this is probably a hoax.
- Go on.
- Well, someone's (beep) with him or he's (beep) with us.
- Maybe someone found out what he was doing.
- What was he doing?
- I don't know exactly,
but whatever that was, it was so messed up.
- So what?
Someone's out to get revenge?
- Why not?
I mean, do we know how Avery Duncan died?
- No, we don't.
If you're on the edge of your seat,
you're in luck because today we're goin' through two tapes.
Let's check out the next one.
(static crackling)
- [Mr. Peek] Whatever's watching me has returned.
(fist knocking) (Mr. Peek gasping)
There!
(Mr. Peek gasping)
Mother?
What are you...
What are you doing up?
(static crackling)
- So, it looks like Mr. Peek's mother
was probably living with him during all this.
This is starting to make more sense.
- Is it?
I've just got more questions.
I mean, you're saying the mom is the one screwing with him?
- Yeah.
- Okay, but how did she know how to do his little knocks?
And did she find the tapes?
And if so, why not just go to the cops?
- Well, I mean, maybe she was trying to punish
or guilt him or something, you know?
Tryin' to keep it all in the family.
- Why would Mr. Peek even save this tape
if it just shows his mom screwing with him?
- Hm.
Well, it'd be great if someone could help us ID the mom.
If she's still alive,
we'd certainly love to talk to her.
Again, Mr. Peek's real name was Avery Duncan,
so we got her last name.
- Well, she could go by her maiden name.
- Right.
Thank you, Winterlings for sticking with us
as the mystery deepens.

(anticipatory music)
Hey there, Winterlings.
Welcome back to Waking Up with the Winters.
- We have a very interesting update for you
on the Mr. Peek investigation.
- Yeah, it looks like we may be winding that down soon.
I know that may be disappointing,
but trust me, just a few moments, it's all gonna make sense.
(static crackling)
- [Mr. Peek] I know I'm alone in that house,
but I could hear whispering and wailing,
and now some phantom is taunting me with that light.
- Avery? (Mr. Peek gasps)
I'm sorry to scare you.
I'm just the paralegal with (indistinct).
We've been trying to get in touch with your mother.
Is she around?
- [Mr. Peek] No.
- She isn't?
Oh, I really need to talk to her.
- [Mr. Peek] She's not here.
- I'm not trying to start anything.
It's just very important that I speak with her.
You're telling me that no one else is in this house?
- [Mr. Peek] No, no.
- I'm sorry, but I do see her in the window.
(pensive music) (Mr. Peek gasping)
- [Mr. Peek] She hasn't been well.
Call the house and leave a message.
I'll make sure she gets in touch.
- Please tell her it's very important.
(Mr. Peek gasping) (music continues)
(music continues)
- [Mr. Peek] Mother?
(fist knocking)
(Mr. Peek gasping) (music continues)
(doorknob rattling) (music continues)
(eerie music)
Oh, God!
(dramatic music)
(Mr. Peek gasping)
Impossible.
(static crackling)
I do not believe in ghosts, but I have seen it.
It is undeniable.
I've reviewed all of the tapes recorded
since I've begun to experience this strange phenomena.
And I have discovered
something disturbing lurking in the grain.
(static crackling)
- So, a lot goin' on here.
- We went back through the tapes you mentioned,
and we think we found
the disturbing thing he's referring to.
- [Mr. Peek] And in truth,
I can sense something watching me.
- There. - Yep.
Let's brighten this up.
(mysterious music)
- So, while this is all pretty extraordinary-
- Capturing a real live ghost on camera-
- There's more.
- We asked you all for your help and you delivered.
Someone was able to track down Avery Duncan's mother,
Willow Duncan, and put her in touch with us.
- And Willow has agreed to do a video interview with us.
We're hoping she'll have some answers.
- Are you ready?
- Yeah.
- All right, I'm gonna let her in.
- Okay.
- [Willow] Hello?
- Hi, Willow?
- [Willow] Yes.
- Hi, it's Rebecca and Paris Winter.
- Hey, how's it goin'?
- We can't see you.
- (sighs) I can never get my camera to work.
I'm sorry.
I'm not very good at these things.
- Is your camera on?
- [Willow] I think so.
One second.
(scoffs) I'm sorry.
You can hear me right?
- We can, yeah.
So, let's just jump in.
- As a reminder, we are recording this.
- [Willow] That's fine.
- So, we are the Winters, as we said,
and we're actually living
in your son Avery's old house (chuckles).
- [Willow] Oh, you know, there's a lot of stress
and anger tied up in that place.
- How do you mean?
- [Willow] It was originally my house.
I built our company, plumbing, air conditioning.
It made our family very comfortable.
Avery, my son, had a much nicer childhood than I did,
but he grew up very entitled,
thought he deserved to inherit the house,
the company, despite not working a day in his life.
Well, I didn't like that, and one thing led to another.
He managed to do some legal nonsense
with the contracts and the lawyers and well,
he got away with the company and the house.
- Oh my God.
I'm so sorry.
- [Willow] It used to bother me a lot more.
But these things won't matter when we're dead.
(Paris's throat clears)
- Willow, I recognize this is a personal question,
but we weren't able to find an obituary for your son.
Can I ask, how did he pass away?
- [Willow] Well, he passed quite suddenly, an aneurysm.
He didn't have any other family at that point
and I didn't see the need to make a fuss.
- So, tying these two threads together,
I was a little curious
about how we were able to get this house.
We got it in an estate sale, but if you're still alive-
- [Willow] Why didn't I get it?
My understanding is his will explicitly forbade me
from getting the house.
He hated me so much he'd rather anyone else have it,
even two strangers.
(Rebecca chuckles nervously)
- Willow, we found some old tapes
that your son Avery must have left behind.
And it's a lot of footage
of him watching girls while they sleep.
- [Willow] So you are the reason the police
have been trying to get in touch with me.
You found someone's personal tapes and watched them?
- We're just trying to understand what's goin' on
or what went on... We're worried
that he might have hurt the girls in the videos.
- I mean, yeah.
We're just trying to figure out...
We're just covering all our bases trying to-
- [Willow] I think I've said all I wanna say.
- Well, thank you for your time.
- Yeah, thank you.
Thank you so much, Willow.
So, only one of two things can be true.
Either ghosts are real or it's all a hoax.
- I would certainly like to believe it's a hoax.
- (chuckles) Well, I think that's the only thing
that we can believe.
So, that doesn't really leave us
with too much to investigate.
Mr. Peek, Avery Duncan, whoever you were,
thank you for the entertainment,
and may you rest in peace.
(anticipatory music fades)
Oh, hey (chuckles).
I have an idea for what we'd do next.
- Oh, what's that (chuckles)?
- Well, let's do the gratitude thing first.
I bet I know what you're grateful for.
- Do you? - Mm hm.
- You are grateful that it was all just a big elaborate joke
and that everyone is safe and nobody got hurt.
- All right, I'm really happy about that.
- Mm hm. - That's true.
But that's not what I'm most thankful for.
- Well, what are you most thankful for?
(Rebecca laughs)
- I hate when you imitate me.
(both laughing)
Yeah.
- Oh my God.
No, but gimme that, gimme that, gimme that.
- Yeah. - Are you shitting me?
- No. - Are you fucking...
You're pregnant?
- Yes! - Oh my God.
- Okay, okay, calm down.
- I thought you were on the pill.
- Yeah, I was, am, am,
but apparently I screwed something up.
I don't know. - Oh my God.
Oh my God, I love you so much.
I love you.
- I know, I know. - Oh my God.
You know, I bet you wish you were recording this.
- No.
- (laughs) No? - This can just be for us.
Thanks (laughs).
- Oh my God (laughs).
- Okay, so enough about me.
- What? - What's your big idea
- I mean... that you mentioned?
- Okay.
Fuck.
Well, I mean now that the Mr. Peek stuff's a dead end,
we're gonna need something
to keep up with the momentum.
- Yeah. - So...
- (laughs) Am I supposed to fill in the blank there?
- I mean, we're gonna be parents.
- Yeah, and that's separate from all the momentum.
That's our own momentum.
That's not the momentum for the people, you know?
- Oh my God.
- [Rebecca] Yeah.
(both laughing)
Stop with that face.
- What, what? - Okay, all right, I'm going.
Nothing, nothing.
Yay! - Oh my God.
Okay, we just heard some noises downstairs.
It kinda sounds like someone's walkin' around.
- We should call the police.
- Okay, I don't know if we should-
(footsteps thudding)
Okay, all right.
I'm gonna check this out. - Oh my God.
Oh, let me see.
- [Paris] Oh yeah, let's check.
- [Rebecca] Fuck.
Oh my God, did you leave the doors open?
- [Paris] No.
- Paris, what the fuck? - Oh, fuck.
All right, well, let's go check.
Let's go check.
- [Rebecca] Oh my God, I'm so scared.
Can you... Okay.
Oh, shit.
Hello?
I wanna check in there.
- [Rebecca] Okay, I'm gonna go up there.
- Okay, okay. - Oh my God, okay.
It's okay over there?
- [Paris] Yeah, yeah, all right, let's...
- [Rebecca] Oh my God, I'm so scared.
- [Paris] Okay.
(Rebecca whimpers)
- [Rebecca] What the fuck, Paris?
- [Paris] All right, here, get the lights.
(light switches clicking)
- They're not working.
- Oh, fuck. - Oh my God.
- Okay, all right.
All right, let's close these windows.
(both gasping)
Oh fuck, what is that?
- [Rebecca] Oh my God.
- Jesus. - What the fuck?
- [Paris] Jesus Christ.
- I don't want to touch it.
- Oh, God. - Oh my God.
Oh my God. - Okay, all right.
Okay, I'm gonna check the locks.
I'm gonna make sure everything's locked.
Here, stay with me.
- [Rebecca] Okay.
- [Paris] Okay, all right.
Everything's all locked up.
There's no signs of forced entry or anything like that.
Maybe that sound was like the house settling
or like an earthquake or something.
I don't know.
But I...
Maybe I left the windows unlocked,
but I just-
(fist knocking)
- What the fuck? - Fuck.
- Hello?
- [Paris] What the?
- Paris, call 911.
- [Paris] I don't have my...
This phone doesn't have a sim card.
- Oh my God.
- This is the vlogging... I left mine downstairs.
- [Paris] Oh, fuck!
Okay, well, maybe we should...
Oh, fuck!
What the shit?
- Oh my God! - Whoa!
- Oh my God!
What the fuck!
(door closes)
(footsteps thudding)
(fist knocking)
I'm scared.
(Paris speaking indistinctly)
- Wait, there's something moving (gasps).
(Paris screams) (eerie music)
- Oh my God, Rebecca!
Are you... Oh my God,
something grabbed me!
Something grabbed me, Paris!
(objects thudding)
Oh my God, what the fuck was that?
- What the? - What the fuck?
- [Paris] That was the front door.
That was the fuckin'...
Fuck this.
Fuck, hey!
- [Rebecca] Paris!
(Paris panting) (pensive music)
- What the fuck?
What the fuck?
(eerie music) (eerie exhaling)
So we contacted the police.
- They're assuming that this is the work
of a fan taking things too far.
I'm not sure how that explains
everything that happened, but-
- At this point, guys, I gotta say it.
This house is off limits.
We'll have another video for you soon.
Take care.
(bright music) (birds chirping)
Welcome back to Waking Up with the Winters.
- Hi, everyone.
- (chuckles) So there's been some strange stuff
happening here in our home,
and we've been having a bit of a spirited debate
about who may be responsible.
- To be clear (chuckles),
this debate isn't about who or what may be responsible.
It's actually about ghosts and spirits
and where we stand with them.
But since you brought it up (chuckles),
let's roll back to that clip from the other night.
Wait, there's something moving (gasps).
(both screaming)
Yeah, nobody can explain yet what that's about seeing
as how no one was in the room with us.
- Disagreements, they're gonna happen in any family.
Now, I'm pretty firmly on the side
that ghosts make for great stories
and throughout history have been used
to explain the seemingly unexplainable.
But now I don't think the default assumption
should be ghosts.
- And I believe that not everything can be explained.
I think I've mentioned this before,
but I believe that when I was young, I saw a ghost.
- Okay, so say a ghost is behind what's happening to us.
- I didn't say that.
- (chuckles) It really feels like
that's what you're trying to say.
(both chuckling)
- Okay, look, I wasn't gonna get into this,
but when I was growing up, my dad wasn't a good guy.
I'm sure to other people,
he seemed like a good father at times
but when it was just the two of us, he was super abusive.
I mean, not like physically or anything,
but emotionally and verbally.
And I lost my mom when I was young.
So, it was just the two of us for a long time.
This one night, he was just really coming at me like,
scarily to the point where I had to lock myself in my room.
I stayed in there for hours and then I finally fell asleep.
I woke up in the middle of the night
and there was this woman standing at the foot of my bed,
and she just looked at me with this sense,
like everything was gonna be okay,
and I just felt this sense of calm
and like I was seen for the first time
in a really long time.
And then I fell back asleep and I woke up and she was gone.
I know, I know what people would say.
Like, I was probably dreaming, but I know I wasn't.
(Rebecca chuckles)
- Well, whoever was messing with us left behind
a note that said, "Help us."
If it's ghosts, help us what?
Move on?
And what's the deal with the pacifier?
I bet I know somethin'
that can help us figure this out.
- Tell us, Paris.
- (chuckles) We've got a few Mr. Peek tapes we didn't watch,
and I know some of you Winterlings
have been begging us to continue the Mr. Peek investigation.
- Yeah, after the other night,
ugh, I'd love to see what's on them.
- (chuckles) So, let's check it out.
(static crackling)
(eerie music)
(Mr. Peek breathing heavily)
(music continues)
- [Mr. Peek] Scarlett!
(Scarlett screaming)
(baby crying)
(crying stops) (Mr. Peek breathing heavily)
Scarlett?
(Mr. Peek breathing heavily)
(object thuds)
(Scarlett shrieks)
(eerie music) (Mr. Peek breathing heavily)
Oh, God...
(music continues)
(static crackling)
- We did do a search for the name Scarlet,
and there don't appear to be any missing persons
with that name in the area.
- Which suggests-
- That she could be an actor,
which would mean this was all staged.
- Well, we'll keep you in the loop
in case anything else happens, supernatural or otherwise.
We're gettin' pretty close to 1,000,000 subscribers,
so keep liking, sharing, and subscribing.
You don't know how much we appreciate your support.
(anticipatory music fades)
Hey, Rebecca?
You wanna come in here so we can do this?
- [Rebecca] Do what?
- The gratitude exercise.
- [Rebecca] Just come in here.
- I can wait.
- [Rebecca] What did you mean earlier
when you said huge announcement?
- Well, I think it's pretty obvious (chuckles).
- What are you suggesting we do?
- Well, look, I'm not saying we make a video right now.
Everything was... Oh my God, Paris, no!
We don't even have to make a video at all.
- Do you want our baby to be a secret?
- No, I just don't think it's necessary to like,
announce it on camera.
- Well, it's gonna be pretty obvious sooner or later.
- Is this even the right time to have a baby?
- What?
Rebecca, I...
We have always talked about having kids
and raising a family, right?
- Right, but does it have to be right now?
- Well, we haven't done it because we didn't have the money,
but I don't know if you've checked,
but we have the money now.
- I just don't wanna announce anything.
I haven't even told anybody-
- Well, maybe you should.
Look, I'm grateful that you're pregnant, okay?
This is an opportunity that a lot
of families never get, okay?
(Rebecca chuckles)
What?
- Nothing (chuckles).
(sighs) If Waking Up with the Winters had been
a thing when we got married,
would you have wanted to like,
make a video of our wedding?
- Well, we did make a video of the wedding.
- You know what I mean.
- (sighs) Maybe.
Hey guys, quick unscheduled video today.
We're gonna show you what appears
to be Mr. Peek's final tape.
- What you're about to see is extremely disturbing.
If you're squeamish, click away.
(static crackling)
- [Mr. Peek] I haven't slept in days.
Every time I shut my eyes, I hear their screams.
I can feel their pull
as if every fiber of my being
is being pulled to its inevitable violent destiny.
Even now-(baby crying)
(eerie music)
(Mr. Peek breathing heavily)
(music continues)
(shutter clicking) (eerie music)
(music continues) (clicking continues)
(Mr. Peek munching) (music continues)
(music continues) (munching continues)
(music continues) (bones snapping)
(pensive music) (clicking continues)
(music continues) (Mr. Peek breathing heavily)
No.
No, Mother.
No, not yet.
Not yet!
No.
No!
(dramatic music) (high pitched warbling)
(static crackling)
- So, yeah, that appeared
to be Willow Duncan on that tape,
doing whatever the (beep) that was.
- We've reached out to Willow several times.
She seems to have gone radio silent.
I'm not really sure what that means
for us and our situation, but-
- What the (beep) was he eating?
- Clearly a lot of dark (beep) went down in this house.
So for our next regularly scheduled video,
we've actually hired an expert to help us out.
So, we hope you'll join us
and we hope that you are enjoying your spooky season.
(Rebecca chuckles)
(eerie music)
This is Jasper Clove, a renowned medium who has a reputation
for cleansing homes of unwanted spirits.
- I'm glad you called.
I'd say you have a nasty hive of Poltergeist,
restless ghosts of the woman killed by this Mr. Peek.
They might see you as a threat
or they might feel that Mr. Peek is still alive.
But don't worry,
I have a solution.
- Have you ever done this successfully?
- Just last week, I cleansed the DMV in Pomona.
So what we're going to do here is a sort of seance,
hopefully we make contact and communicate
with the spirits and let them know
that Mr. Peek is dead.
So, I have this glass here and I will fill it up like so.
(liquid sloshing) (pensive music)
Oops. (Paris chuckles)
And we will hold hands.
Now, once I make contact,
we can ask yes or no questions.
If the answer is yes, the wineglass will move.
If the answer is no, it will not.
Are we ready?
- Yeah.
- Come now, spirits.
We call to you.
We mean you no harm.
Please, make yourselves known.
- Sorry, that was me.
I bumped the table (laughs).
- Spirits, do not be frightened.
No one here will harm you.
(eerie music)
- Not me.
- Good.
We've made contact.
Spirits, thank you for joining us.
Is your presence in this house due
to you not being able to leave?
(eerie music)
Is it because you are unwilling to leave?
Spirits, are you aware of a person
who goes by Mr. Peek, Avery Duncan?
(music continues)
Are you aware that Mr. Peek is dead
and can no longer harm you or anyone else?
I have good news spirits. (baby crying)
- What the fuck? - Holy shit!
(spirits screaming)
- Spirits, it is okay to move on.
It is okay.
- What? (spirits screaming)
- We mean you no harm!
(screaming continues)
- We need to leave.
- No, no. - No!
- This ends now.
(spirits screaming)
- [Rebecca] It sounds like it's coming from the bedroom.
- Yeah. - What is that?
- [Paris] Yeah, we'll see.
- [Rebecca] Okay.
- Oh, fuck. - Oh my goodness,
- Oh, fuck. - oh my goodness.
Oh my God.
- Oh, Jesus, - Oh my God.
- [Paris] what the fuck is that?
- What the fuck? - No.
- [Rebecca] Paris, don't!
Don't!
Don't get any closer! - Oh, God!
- [Paris and Rebecca] What the fuck?
(all screaming) (eerie music)
- [Rebecca] Oh my God!
Oh my God!
- [Paris] No!
(indistinct)
It's locked!
(Rebecca screams) (Paris screams)
(spirit screams)
- (gasping) Oh my God.
Oh my God.
I'm so, I'm so sorry.
(gasping) I just heard screaming and then nothing and...
I think...
I think they're...
(all laughing) (upbeat music)
- Happy Halloween, Winterlings (laughs).
- We're all okay.
- (laughs) This has been our biggest,
longest prank yet (laughs).
This is Jasper.
He's not actually a medium,
but he did a pretty damn good job
of being one tonight. - Oh, why, thank you.
See, Rebecca?
She's totally fine.
- All good.
- And so is our tape face.
(actor laughs)
- The true star of the show.
- [Actor] Hi!
- All of the funny business that's been goin' on
over the past couple of months,
all the knocking, the help me message.
- Yeah, it was all us (laughs).
- I think we fooled some of you guys.
- But we'll be coming back
with some regular programming very soon,
for real this time.
- For real.
All right, thanks everyone.
Goodnight.
(Jasper imitates spirit groaning)
(light music)
- Hey (laughs).
- Hey, what are you doing?
- I was just gonna do a little debrief.
Just me.
- Okay, well, you just said you wanted
to do the gratitude exercise, so?
- Well, I thought you were getting ready for bed.
- Well, here I am, so.
- Okay.
Yeah, let's do the gratitude exercise.
I'll turn this off.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Did you see my dear that we are trending on Twitter?
- Oh God, good trending or bad trending?
- What's wrong?
- Are we a hashtag?
- Okay, I mean, we are, but that's a good thing, okay?
Okay?
Can we not do the thing
where you act like there's nothing wrong
and there's clearly something wrong
and it would just save us both a lot
of time if you just went ahead and told me, huh?
What's up?
What's goin' on? - The camera's off?
- It is, of course.
Yeah. - Okay, okay.
It's just ugh, I don't like that we can't talk
to Mr. Peek's mom or any of the girls in the videos.
It's making me really anxious.
- We know it's a hoax, baby.
- Do we?
- Yeah.
I mean, look, you just saw how easy it was
to fake a whole haunting on camera.
- Yeah, but to record it all on VHS tapes
for an audience of whoever found them, it's really weird.
- Yeah, yeah, I mean it is.
I get that.
And it would be fuckin' peachy
if someone would tell us that it was all fake,
but we're probably not gonna get that, okay?
Besides we have got more important things worry about.
- Yeah (chuckles).
- (chuckles) Okay.
Please tell me you weren't serious the other day.
- About what?
- About not having our child.
- I don't wanna talk about this right now.
- Okay.
We are a team and we need to talk about it.
- It's my body and I don't want to right now.
(baby crying)
- Great fuckin' timing.
You can shut your kid up.
Hey, guys.
We know the response to our most recent stunt
was a little divisive,
but we're really taken aback
by the passion you guys are showing us.
- Trust us, we're taking all of your feedback to heart.
- We're almost a 1,000,000 subscribers,
so I'm promising you Winterlings right now
a special live-stream for when we hit that milestone.
Help us get there (chuckles)!
- Okay, I'm filming this so no one can say I made it up.
Paris is out doing something. (spirit crying)
I've already called the police.
There is someone else in this house.
This isn't a joke.
(crying continues)
I haven't opened the door yet.
- [Spirit] He's just gonna let me die (sobbing).
(Rebecca gasps)
(Rebecca breathing heavily)
- [Rebecca] What the?
What the fuck?
(Rebecca breathing heavily)
(eerie music)
- So, Rebecca's been pretty stressed lately,
so, I got her a care package.
Let's go find her.
Oh man, she's gonna love this.
Okay.
Not sure what's goin' on here.
Hey, Rebecca?
Hey honey, what's goin' on?
- Come here.
- [Paris] What?
- [Rebecca] Have you seen this?
- [Paris] What is this?
- Hello, everyone.
It's your girl Miss Judgment back again
♪ To judge the fuck outta you ♪
Today, I would like to talk
about Waking Up with the Winters and their haunting,
if you could even call it that.
A lot of you back at home are probably thinking
this was stupid, misleading, a betrayal.
I mean, sure, I can hear all of those arguments.
One thing you can't deny though,
is that these people really wanted attention.
They even hid some creepy Easter eggs
that they didn't even call attention to.
You didn't see 'em, but I saw 'em.
Let's take a look.
- No, no. - No!
- This ends now.
- [Rebecca] Paris...
- And there it is.
They hired a whole nother actor to just stand there.
I wonder how little she got paid.
Paris and Rebecca Winter, I'm lookin' at you.
Miss Judgment out. - God.
- [Rebecca] You heard me?
I said, was that you?
- [Paris] Okay.
No, no I don't...
- Okay, then who the fuck is that?
There is something happening in this house.
Okay, there was someone in there.
- [Paris] What?
- Yeah.
Are you filming this?
- [Paris] Look, I was gonna-
- Turn it off.
- [Paris] You're starting to get me concerned.
- Paris. - Okay, okay.
I'll turn it off, I'll turn it off.
- Hey guys, it's Rebecca Winters here.
- Cameron's here, too.
Mwah, mwah, mwah. - Cameron my best friend,
literally. - Hi, Winterings!
Wait, wait, is that what you call them?
- Oh yeah, no, yeah, Winterlings.
It's fine, whatever.
- [Cameron] Oh, hi Winterades.
- (laughs) Winterades!
Wait, no, I just wanted to get on here to say
that there's been a lot of stuff going on.
I know, I know so much.
And like all the Mr. Peek stuff
and the VHS tapes and like,
all this weird kinky shit.
(both gasping)
No, it's not kinky.
That sounds so bad.
- Oh, you thought about me. - Okay, you know what?
Guys, I've been talking to my therapist
about this and like,
okay, Cameron Therapy's amazing.
Do you have a...
- Wait, but why - Okay, do you guys
- did you do it? - have a therapist?
- I mean, ugh, it's so hard to explain,
but I feel like I'm just such a people pleaser
and I always get involved in stuff
like good stuff and bad stuff.
And this Mr. Peek stuff is just,
I'm in so over my head you guys, but okay-
- Well, okay, - Here's what I know.
- from like, what you told me,
it seems really haunted AF.
Oh, shit (laughs). - This house
is seriously fucked up, you guys.
Like, there is some fucked up shit happening here.
- Rebecca? - It's so fucking...
- Hi. - Hey.
- Hey, babe. - Hi, Cameron.
- What's up? - Rebecca, do you-
- [Rebecca] Oh my God, there you are.
- Hi, yeah, that's me. - Oh my God, you're so cute.
Do you realize that you're live right now?
(Rebecca laughs) (Cameron laughs)
- [Rebecca] Wait, what?
It doesn't matter, babe.
- [Paris] Have you been drinking?
- We went out (laughs).
- [Cameron] Whoa!
- Wait, wait, I have to tell you guys something.
Did you know I didn't even want
to do Waking Up with the Winterlings?
Like Paris literally - Okay, okay, you know-
- had to beg me.
Beg me. - Okay, that's not true.
That's not true. - Oh, wait!
I have an idea, let's play Fun Facts.
- Yeah. - Oh my God.
- Okay, so, - Can you just end the stream?
- did you know that Paris - Please, end the stream.
- isn't even Paris's real name?
- Okay. - What is it, Paris?
- Come on, come on. - Tell us.
- Can you please... It's Tim.
- It's fine. - It's Tim.
- She's just letting off some steam.
- No, I wanna get fucked up. - I am begging you.
- [Paris] No, you know you can't do that right now.
- She's fine, Paris.
My sister drank so much in the first few months
and the baby's fine. - Oh my God, oh my God.
Oh, shit.
- [Paris] Can we end the stream?
- Surprise. - Can we please?
- The live. - Can we please?
- All right, come here, come here,
come here, come here. - I'm begging you,
for the love of God. - Let's go.
We have some wine in the kitchen.
Come here!
(Cameron and Paris speaking indistinctly)
- Woo (laughs)!
What the fuck?
(Rebecca gasping) (spirit shrieks)
- [Paris] What happened, what happened?
- What the fuck, she was right there!
She was right fucking there (sobs)!
I can't breathe (sobs)!
- [Paris] There's nothing here.
- [Rebecca] What the fuck?
- [Cameron] It's okay.
- Okay, I just heard the fuckin' knocks.
(fist knocking)
Fuck it, I'm not doin' this tonight.
(sullen piano music)
Hi, everyone.
I'm sure many of you saw
the live-stream Rebecca did last night.
We aren't gonna be discussing my
or Rebecca's private medical details.
I also want to confirm that the game is over.
I don't know what that was on the stream last night,
but we're gonna be taking a break from posting
for a little while so that we can focus
on our marriage and our family.
We'll be back soon, but I'm gonna ask
you all please respect our privacy right now.
Thank you.
- Is it on? - Wait.
- [Jamie] Get in, come here.
Hey, are you Rebecca from Waking Up with the Winters?
- Hi, Rebecca. - I can't do this right now.
- Hey, how was - Hey guys,
- your night last night? - can you just...
Can we have some space?
- [Jamie] How was your night last night?
- Guys, guys... I met Jamie
- Guy, guys... when we got sober together.
- Please, can we just - So, it's really, really-
- have a moment together? - What's wrong?
Do you have a headache?
- Don't... Yeah, are you hungover?
- Please, please.
- Guys, she's been through a lot.
- Oh, am I talking - If you're pregnant
- too loud for you? - and you're drinking,
it's a serious issue, - Guys-
- [Jamie's Friend] and you should consider
coming to AA. - Okay, can you mind
your own business?
- [Jamie] Do you know how many people
wanna be pregnancy every day, - You should consider
- And they can't - coming to AA.
- even get pregnant? - You need to leave.
- It's a really - Check your privilege.
- positive experience. - You need to leave.
- Will you get the fuck outta here?
- Call, and just fuck off. - Jesus!
- You should be embarrassed. - Don't yell in my face.
- Canceled, canceled! - Fuckin' find help!
Find help!
- She's not even - How can that
- that pretty up close. - be on the internet?
- Did you notice?
- Hey, can we talk for a minute?
- What's up?
- So I just, I feel like there's been
a lotta tension lately and I feel like it's,
we're not saying stuff that we should be saying,
even though it could be uncomfortable.
Does that make sense?
- Okay, mm hm.
- Okay, so, I mean, we could do the gratitude thing.
- No, no, it's...
Don't worry about it.
- Okay.
You should really look at the numbers, okay?
I know that people are talking shit
and it feels like everyone hates us right now,
but the numbers don't lie, okay?
I mean, we have made more money
this month than we ever have.
It's amazing.
- Okay.
- See, see, this is what I'm talking about.
- What are you talking about?
- Okay, forgive me, but you've been
like super passive aggressive
and there's been a lot of hostility
and I think it's just festering
because of things left unsaid.
- You're right.
(Paris sighs)
There's something wrong with you.
- Nothing has gone online.
- That's not the fucking point, okay?
- Okay, okay, I...
(door slams)
Okay, you don't have to slam the fucking door.
Jesus.
(Paris sighs)
Okay, I'm sorry.
Rebecca?
- [Rebecca] Fuck!
- What?
- [Rebecca] Fuck, fuck!
- Talk to me, what happened?
- Someone identified the girls in the videos.
(Rebecca exhales)
- Who?
Who sent you this?
- The guys handle's TopSheet
and he sent me two names,
and I was able to look both of them up
and they're both real women who are missing.
- Oh my God.
- My God, what the fuck did we do?
- Okay, okay, we're gonna have to get ahead of this.
- No, no, no, what the did we do?
Answer me.
- We didn't do anything.
- What the fuck happened in this fucking house?
- I don't know! - Fuck off!
(door slams)
- Fuck!
Hey everyone, welcome back to Waking Up with the Winters.
- This isn't a bit.
This is real, this is serious and it's a video
I hoped we'd never have to make.
- We've told you that the Mr. Peek VHS tapes
were not staged by us, and that's true.
We previously assumed these videos were hoaxes.
- We recently learned the identity of two of the women
who appeared in the videos.
Both are real people who are actually missing,
meaning something else is going on here.
Their names were Alison June and Sarah Sanders.
- It turns out both were aspiring creators.
They built small channels.
Alison June's was called Dispatches from June,
and Sarah went under a stage name, Scarlett.
Her channel was Scarlett Says Stuff.
- Which may explain
why Mr. Peek called out to a Scarlett in one of his videos.
- [Mr. Peek] Scarlett!
- Obviously, we've given all this information to the police
and I want to apologize to the families.
It's all deeply insensitive
and I assure you we are mortified.
- And to TopSheet,
the person who was able to ID those women,
we did promise a private video chat, so we'll be in touch.
We don't have to do this right now.
- Somehow this guy was able to ID both women.
I want to know what else he knows.
You're recording this?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I'll let him in.
Hey there, TopSheet.
Is that what you want us to call you?
- [TopSheet] TopSheet is fine, yeah.
- We can't see you.
Is your camera off?
- [TopSheet] Oh, no, no, no, no.
It's off.
I'd prefer it stays off if that's all right?
I think it's more fun if only I can see you.
- Well (chuckles), I have to ask,
how did you hear about our channel?
- [TopSheet] Well, I'm not really a fan to be honest.
- Oh.
Okay.
- [TopSheet] But I did hear about this whole controversy.
- How did you ID Scarlett and Allison?
Did you know them?
- [TopSheet] Well, that's the thing.
I didn't know them, no.
- [Willow] My son knew them.
- Willow? - What the fuck?
- You're TopSheet, Willow?
- What the fuck is this?
You were in those videos.
You had some idea of what was going on.
I mean, what the fuck did Mr. Peek,
Avery Duncan, your son do?
What did he do?
- [Willow] Well, perhaps you should ask him.
You won't get those answers from me.
(eerie music)
- Your son's dead.
What do you...
- [Willow] No.
No.
I, Avery Duncan, have been dead for a long...
- [Mr. Peek] Long time.
- Fuck!
- [Mr. Peek] Avery Duncan was my mother's name.
Willow Duncan is an invention,
and I, Peter Duncan, am very much alive.
My mother was my first subject,
the one I didn't film.
She refused to give me the house, the family business,
the things I was entitled to.
She even wrote me out of the will.
So, she couldn't die.
Not really.
And I'd lose everything,
but I knew you could become anyone on the internet,
so I became my mother.
I kept the house,
and used it to carry out my process.
Don't you fuckin' mute yourselves!
(indistinct)
- Fuck!
You fucking killed them, didn't you?
You fucking subhuman freak.
You're the fucking coward.
The! - My subjects-
- Why did you do this?
- [Peter] All had one thing in common.
They refused to see the value in me.
I forced them to, but when those things started appearing,
I knew I couldn't stay,
and without the house, well...
- I guess there was no reason
for you to be your mother anymore.
- [Peter] So, she died quietly.
You buy my house in an estate sale,
and you turned my private tapes that you
were warned not to even watch into cheap,
disposable entertainment.
You shattered my closed loop.
I know how the internet works.
Soon everyone will know my name and what I've done,
and unlike you, I do not consider
that a blessing I am certain.
- Good, you fucking should be!
- [Peter] I will not die in captivity.
I will end my life on my terms.
But before I go, I must make one fine tape.
One that I do intend the world to see.
- Do not come anywhere near this house.
You fuckin' understand me?
(Peter laughs)
- [Peter] It's not the house that I want.
It's you.
The Winters.
- No.
- [Peter] What you have done cannot go unanswered.
If I have to die a vile spectacle,
you shall become one with me.
You should check your front porch.
- [Rebecca] Why are you filming this?
- [Paris] You heard them.
The cops think we're fucking with them.
We gotta prove that something's
happening before they'll help us.
- [Rebecca] Fuck!
Oh my God.
Fuck!
- Oh my God. - What the fuck is that?
- [Paris] Oh my God.
More gibberish, great.
- It's an acronym.
- [Paris] Oh my God, Waking up with the Winters.
(static crackling)
(fist knocking)
(Peter breathing heavily)
(eerie music)
- [Peter] Not yet, Mother.
(static crackling)
- Hey guys, really gotta stress, this is not a joke.
It turns out that Mr. Peek,
the creepy gas mask guy in all
of our Waking Up with the Winters videos is not dead.
He is very much alive
and we are assuming very dangerous.
He was pretending to be his mother who is dead
and has been for some time,
and he got into our house, his old house.
So we're moving to a hotel till further notice.
And I know we were already kinda takin'
a hiatus from posting,
but just to keep you guys in the loop (chuckles).
Babe... Oh my God.
- No, no, no, I think it's important
that we ground ourselves okay?
And that we keep to a routine until we can-
- Do you actually believe half the shit
you say or do you just hope that I will (scoffs)?
- Okay, this isn't about the channel, okay?
All the controversy and whatever
has actually made our numbers go crazy
and we have some wiggle room.
We can actually afford to go dark for a little bit.
And so, none of this, none of this is for the channel.
Not until this is over.
Okay?
This is for us.
- No, it's for you.
- I am grateful for you. - No, stop.
- I'm grateful
for our life together. - Stop.
- I'm grateful... Okay, you know what?
If you wanna say this to me, just turn the camera off.
- I'm grateful for our safety.
- I do not feel safe.
- Okay-
- Why is that so hard for you to understand?
- I...
- You know what, you know what?
When this is all over,
we're gonna talk about the future
of me being a part of all of this.
- What?
- But if you don't turn that fucking camera off right now,
I swear to God I will divorce you.
- Okay.
I'll turn the fuckin' camera off.
Hey everyone, I just saw the news.
1,000,000 subscribers, 1,000,000!
I am just...
You guys made this possible.
I know I promised a live-stream
and I will do everything in my power
to make that happen ASAP,
but until then, to all of you Winterlings out there,
thank you, thank you, thank you.
Mwah!
One fucking mill...
Oh, Jesus (laughs).
1,000,000 subscribers.
I'm losin' my mind.
Hey guys, I'm not really sure
when I'm gonna be able to post this
and Rebecca's asked us to not really film anything
until we can go back to the house or work something out,
but this is too huge not to document.
So, Rebecca's showering right now
and she doesn't know that we just hit 1,000,000 subscribers.
I'm gonna go tell her.
Hey, Rebecca?
Huge news.
- [Rebecca] Did they find him?
- No, but trust me, it's big.
- [Rebecca] I can't really hear you.
(fist knocking)
- That must be the champagne I ordered.
(door opens)
(Paris groaning) (shower water splashing)
(Peter breathing heavily)
(shower water turns off)
- What were you saying?
Did you really leave me all fucking alone again (sighs)?
(Rebecca sniffles)
(Rebecca sighs)
(Rebecca groaning)
(Peter breathing heavily)
(pensive music)
(music continues)
- [Peter] It's time to awake, Paris Winter.
- (gasping) What the... Your 1,000,000 subscribers
expect the live-stream you promised them.
- Where's Rebecca?
- [Peter] You can see her if you wish.
- (gasping) Rebecca!
- [Peter] But first you must understand
the choice I am presenting you with.
- Our address is 678... If you do not shut
your mouth I promise you,
I will gut her like a pig, huh?
In a moment I am going to release you.
I will go upstairs.
Rebecca is in the studio, unable to move or respond,
but otherwise unharmed.
I will go to the bedroom.
You can choose to go and free your wife and then leave.
Or you can come see me,
and I will tell you the truth
about what happened to my subjects.
Those girls.
It's something I'm sure those watching would appreciate,
something that the people will never forget.
But either way, you must bring your camera.
And should you try to leave without choosing,
if you try to get help,
I promise you that I and your wife
will be dead before you return.
(Paris gasping) (pensive music)
- I'm gonna fucking kill you!
- [Peter] You won't have to.
I know my fate.
(Paris gasping)
(door opens)
(gasping continues) (music continues)
- Rebecca?
Okay (gasping).
Rebecca?
Oh, God.
Oh, Jesus.
Babe...
(pensive music)
Rebecca, I'm comin' back.
I promise.
I promise I'm comin' back.
All right, fucker.
Listen, what the...
Huh?
(hammer thuds) (Paris groaning)
- I told you I'd share with you the secrets of my process.
I did not say I would let you live
you pathetic waste of life.
You had someone who adored you and you squandered it.
Why?
Because she wasn't enough?
Because you're a whore desperate for the love of others?
(hammer thuds) (Paris whimpers)
You had a woman who loved you.
(baby crying)
I ate them.
(Paris sobbing)
I consumed them. - No!
- I relished every bite of their soft, innocent flesh,
and it gave me power.
Power I didn't know was possible.
One that I know few on this earth would ever experience.
Everyone, a true miracle.
- [Paris] (sobs) You did this to your mother?
- Yes, my greatest disappointment.
Be glad to never be a parent, Paris Winter.
- [Paris] (sobs) No, no!
(hammer thudding) (Paris groaning)
(blood gushing) (Paris wheezing)
(Peter panting) (pensive music)
(music continues)
(eerie music)
(Rebecca gasping)
(music continues)
(music continues) (tape fast forwarding)
(tape whirs)
(eerie music)
(music continues)
- No.
If you could only fully understand what you're doing,
you couldn't possibly.
- [Rebecca] No more speeches.
(Peter groans)
I don't care.
(hammer thuds) (Peter groans)
No one who cares.
(hammer thuds) (Peter wheezing)
Your time is over.
(hammer thuds)
(eerie music)
(door closes)
(eerie music)
(wind whistling)
(pensive music) (tape whirring)
(music continues) (whirring continues)
(music continues)
(baby crying) (tape whirring)
(tape ejects)
(static crackling) (eerie music)
(music continues)
(music fades)
