Episode Overview
In a bar named the Bloody Hand, infamous for the gruesome murder of a woman whose only remnant was her bloodied hand, a drifter notices the hand seems to be pointing directly at him. Is he merely the butt of a cruel joke, or could he be the murderer himself?

Set in an Irish bar during the early 1900s, three poker players confront a cheater among them and kill him to reclaim their lost money. They decide to enlist the help of a “good man” by giving their winnings to a boy found in a church, only to find he’s an exceptional player himself and continues to take their money. Is he cheating too? Melanie is haunted by a recurring nightmare where she’s stuck in an elevator, causing her great distress. When she’s forced to ride in one, her fears come rushing back.
