Paranormal Prison (2021)

[bunniefuu]

My connection

to the prison is, uh,

my family doesn't like to talk

about it a whole lot but, uh,

my great-grandmother,

she was there and...

a very, very

wealthy woman and...

And it's just not something that really

I've ever wanted to touch bases with,

but I understood,

I was too young, but from what I heard

my mother and the rest of the family say

was that she was a very,

very nasty woman.

And I would assume that

having been at the prison,

she probably

earned her time there.

The Old State Penitentiary

is now closed to tourists

after concerns of

structural instability.

Conspiracy theorists, however,

claim that ghostly sightings

and increased paranormal activity

are to blame for the closure.

My dad went to

a Halloween sleepover there

and they had this guy

dressed like an Indian,

big old Mohawk,

scared the sh*t out of him.

Anyways, they used to have

sleepovers there all the time.

So my dad told me. Guess they

canceled them ages ago.

Stuff about weird stuff that

wasn't supposed to be there.

They're right,

I've seen it.

Really?

Did you get it on tape?

I did. But like others,

everything I recorded

was blank after I left

the prison grounds.

So all that survives are these

interviews conducted in other places.

Wait, what?

Really? Did you get it on tape?

I did. But like others,

everything I recorded

was blank after I left

the prison grounds.

All that survives are these

interviews conducted in other places.

They accused the state

tourism board of continuing

a so-called

government cover-up

of the 1939 prison riot that led to

the deaths of three prison guards.

Uh, some of the "cool kids"

went stealing from them

all to prove that they

weren't scared. I never did.

Because you weren't

cool, or because of the haunting?

Probably both.

Am I allowed to say sh*t?

My uncle or somebody from our

family worked there during the riot

and they told me that

weird sh*t happened.

They're taking that place down

because it's evil,

that's what I think.

Have you

been there yourself?

Been there?

I worked there 32 years.

My aunt's step-sister's

husband's uncle,

he saw this Indian in Siberia.

It's like a ghost. Scared

the crap out of him.

This is Sara.

Hey, Matt. Watching

a video about the prison,

it's pretty creepy.

Okay, see you then.

I know this for a fact.

That prison is so scary.

I'm kind of psychic,

you know?

I was there once,

and all of a sudden

I smelled roses all over.

And they weren't any roses.

- That place is scary.

- Aww!

I don't like scary.

Hey folks, big news from the

Skeptic and the Scientist channel.

I'm talking huge.

Take a look.

We are the last crew to film

in the old historic prison

located in

the High Desert of Idaho.

There were hangings there.

There were serial K*llers.

There were prison riots.

There was more.

Now we haven't been inside yet,

but this facility has had

more ghost sightings

than almost any other location.

You know me.

I don't believe in ghosts.

But my partner Sara here,

she's got some

pretty special plans.

And if there's anybody

that's gonna prove me

your favorite skeptic wrong,

it's gonna be your

favorite scientist, Sara.

Got all the batteries

charged up?

Yeah, making sure

everything's working.

What about you?

Is your gizmo,

whatchamacallit,

thing-a-meter still working?

It's not called a gizmo, whatever you just said.

It's a synchrotron kinetic

energy pattern testing computer.

Oh. My bad. Well, that name's

going to be pretty hard to market

once all the paranormal

geeks and freaks

start lining up to buy one.

Probably, uh, think about

shortening it somehow maybe.

In the industry, the electromagnetic

field meter's abbreviated to EMF.

If I wanted to market it,

I suppose I could

use an acronym.

And I'm sure people will

come from all over to buy it.

So, why don't you explain

to our viewers what it does.

Okay. Um, for years,

paranormal investigators

have been using EMF to detect

the presence of residual

spectral energy.

It's theorized that

ghosts and such

disturb the earth's

natural electromagnetic force.

But I'm hypothesizing

that ghosts do not emit

electromagnetic radiation,

but instead

synchrotron radiation,

which occurs when charged particles

accelerate radially from...

Yeah, I'm just gonna

stop you right there.

I don't think anyone's gonna

know what that means.

Okay, let's put it this way.

If this light turns green,

that means there's

a human present.

If this light turns blue,

that means there's an energy

indicating a spirit.

Well, that's

easy enough. Got it.

- I'm here!

- Oh, hey. Hey.

- Sorry I'm late.

- Hey, Ashley.

Where's Matthew?

He said he needed

his beauty sleep,

- and for us to come pick him up.

- Yeah, figures.

- Um, do you guys already have your mics on?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- Ready to go?

- Yeah.

Yeah. Just got

to pack this camera up

and we can hit the road.

The prettiest honorably discharged

defender of our freedom has arrived.

And the rest of you.

Here, let me drive.

Uh, Jacob,

which cameras did you bring

for the stationary setup?

Oh, we've got several

yellow apple mobile cameras

ready to go.

They're pretty good in

low light, not too expensive.

And you brought the hand-held

zoomer camera too, right?

Yes. The hand-held zoomer,

right here, buddy.

Yes, do or die time guys. Woo!

You know, I hope that we don't

have to cancel the show.

I mean, I enjoy working

with most of you.

Don't worry.

Once we pull off this episode

and our viewership rises,

Matthew's going to think that

they're tuning in just for him

- and he'll keep the show going.

- Hah!

My trust funds got to be

good for something.

Let's make sure that

this camera's angled...

Oh, hey. I'm sorry. Sorry.

Is the word director

on the back of your chair?

- Well, no, but it's just the...

- And if there were a chair that

said director,

would you be sitting in it?

No. It's kind of hard to hold the

camera when you're sitting down.

Hmm. Exactly.

See, you're here

to hold the camera,

and I'm here to direct.

That's what I do.

That's why I'm here.

Oh, and be eye candy for our viewers.

All hundreds of our viewers.

Hey, we have

a very loyal following.

Pretty soon we're going to be

paying people to watch this show.

No, man. No.

With Sara's new doohickey and the

fact that we are the last crew to film

at this prison, people are

gonna be tuning in.

Are you sure

they know we're coming?

Mhm.

Seven o'clock. Right on time.

- Go get them.

- Hello? Hello?

I'm coming,

I'm coming.

All right.

We are in business.

It's open.

Who is this guy?

What you got there?

- Well, it's...

- That is a spectrum radiation energy meter.

Synchrotron kinetic energy

pattern testing computer.

That's right, it's

the synchrotron kinetic energy

pattern testing computer.

Or just SKEPTC for short,

it's named after me.

It's not named after you,

and please put the camera away.

It measures the...

space time continuum

through the synch...

the synchronicity,

the synergy of the spooky.

The...

Give that back to me.

So last group to get

a permit to film here, huh?

Yup,

and we're pretty stoked.

Make sure you capture as

much as you can before the sun sets.

Oh, why?

Because you can't

see in the dark obviously.

And we don't have

many sources of light.

Well, we better get our tent

set up with our receiver gear.

So these walls

were actually built with stone

the prisoners

were forced to quarry.

Then they built the walls,

trapping themselves inside.

It's kind of poetic.

There's one of the guard towers.

They were numbered

counterclockwise

starting in

the north-east corner.

You can see you've got

a great line of sight

from every corner.

Even though this place

closed after the 1939 riot,

I feel like I've been

stuck here ever since.

Want out as much as

the prisoners did.

Seem like

pretty short walls.

And dining hall.

Last big riot of '73 that

closed the place down.

Used to be a beautiful building,

not so much anymore.

- It's really quiet.

- There's not much around here.

This is

where they housed the women.

Any deaths in here?

Anyone of significance?

Mary Beth Flake,

the only female serial k*ller

in Idaho history.

I saw interviews

with some of her relatives.

Everything

associated with Mary Beth Flake

involved four red roses.

The rose bush outside of this cell block

has four roses blooming on it year round.

Legend has it that when

the roses start to go away,

sh*t is about to hit the fan.

Mary Beth came from an

extremely wealthy family.

So how'd she become

a serial k*ller then?

Her father owned,

among other things,

the largest construction company

in the Northwest.

Helped build parts of

this prison, in fact.

Her father used to bring her

onto construction sites.

Hoped she'd take over

the family business eventually.

She was an only child.

She stood to inherit a lot

of money when her father died.

Right.

By all accounts, Mary Beth

was a homely woman,

but there was no lack of suitors

to marry into that inheritance.

So did she find

someone to marry?

She did. But two months

after she married her new beau,

her father died under

mysterious circumstances.

How mysterious?

Her father was only

50 years old and in perfect health.

At a family gathering

he was found dead

without a mark on him,

in the estate's rose garden.

Since she was married,

her husband had complete control

over the estate she inherited.

Always blaming

the husband.

Right. Looks

like you did your homework.

Mary Beth knew

if she divorced her husband,

whom she suspected

of k*lling her father,

he would get the estate.

It drove Mary Beth

off the deep end.

It was the law.

And since women

couldn't vote yet,

it was unlikely to change

any time soon.

And so she became

a homicidal maniac?

Did she k*ll her husband

to get her money?

Too obvious. No.

Instead, she became a tornado

of grassroots politics,

encouraging the women of Idaho

to write their legislatures,

sign petitions, speak out

at every opportunity.

She figured if women could vote,

they could change the law

that gave men control

over all their lives.

Soon those that were loudest in their

opposition to giving women the right to vote

also began to die

under mysterious circumstances.

So, she started k*lling everyone

who was opposed to women's suffrage.

Only the 12

most vocal in their opposition.

Who was the 12th victim?

- Her husband.

- It was common knowledge

that her and her husband were

in a less than cordial marriage.

- Well, she was homicidal.

- Well, so was he.

Wow, cute couple.

- And she got the death sentence.

- She did.

When I was looking it up,

I couldn't find out exactly when she died.

No one knows. Somehow she managed

to escape and was never found.

Dun-dun-dun! What?

Uh, do you guys

smell that?

- What?

- I smell roses.

- Oh, my God, I do, too.

- You do?

Because there's a whole

bunch of rose bushes

right outside and the wind

started to blow.

If you're new to our program,

remember that pretty much

100% of "paranormal activity"

can be explained away

with reasonable reasons.

Reasonable reasons?

Very eloquent, Matthew.

Roses aren't in season.

Residual roses.

Oh, yeah, residual roses.

That must be it.

At least

the roses smell nice.

Shove it, Matt.

Shove it, Matt.

Okay, there's a woman in there.

There's a woman's voice.

I heard a woman's voice.

Ha-ha.

No, there is a woman in there

and I was all alone of course.

Someone said, "Shove it, Matt."

Which is what Jacob said,

And it was his voice echoing,

but it sounded like a woman.

Hey, as*h*le.

Lights on.

If you need to say anything to primary cam

please cover your light or just turn it off.

Got it.

Oof!

Hey, why don't you explain

what you're doing

and how that thing works.

Uh, okay.

I'll try to

keep it really basic,

but every human,

every human emits

electromagnetic radiation.

That's what

an EMF meter measures.

Paranormal investigators

theorize that

when a spirit or ghost,

if you like,

doesn't fully leave

this plane of existence,

it leaves behind

spectral energy,

which is just another form

of electromagnetic energy.

What this device does is

it detects

synchrotron radiation.

And what is

synchrotron radiation?

I'll try to put it

really simply, again.

But synchrotron radiation

is the radiation that occurs

when charged particles

accelerate perpendicular

to their velocity

as opposed to parallel,

which is what happens

in electromagnetic radiation.

Uh-huh. And so,

how will this thing help us find ghosts?

I hypothesize that spectral energy

emits electrons at inconsistent rates.

Right now,

the device is detecting

electromagnetic radiation

all around us.

Our hearts, our brains,

and the earth itself.

When this other light

turns blue,

that means that it has

detected synchrotron radiation.

There may be spectral energy,

but if there's

human energy present,

then it will always

take precedence.

So it's hard to tell.

And how

do you know it'll work?

Like how did you test it?

Um, I actually haven't

had a chance to test it yet,

but I'm hoping that

tonight will prove my theory.

So you've never actually

seen the blue light go on?

Well, the blue light

hasn't gone on...

And you won't, because

there's no such thing as ghosts.

So, your theory

of this science is,

the blue light comes on,

there's a ghost nearby.

Um... Yeah, I'm hoping

that with this

and the other evidence

we acquire tonight,

we can confirm.

And by other evidence,

she means the audio

and video evidence

she's hoping

to capture using this,

the networked YIN vid kit.

This is a state-of-the-art,

wifi-enabled,

real time recording,

blah blah, blah.

So when we don't actually see

any spirits or spooks nearby,

can't blame the equipment.

Um... there really

isn't much else

that can cause

synchrotron radiation.

So I'm confident that

if we detect some,

we can prove the existence

of spectral beings.

Can you show us the inside

of the other buildings now?

Right this way.

We'll go see

solitary confinement next.

Welcome to solitary,

or Siberia as it's called here.

Uh-oh, no.

That's creeping me out

so I'm just gonna stay out here.

Wasn't gonna fit

in there anyways.

Yeah, I'm good too.

Three prison

guards were m*rder*d in there

by an inmate.

How did that happen?

No one

knows for sure.

Cell door was locked when the

bodies were discovered inside.

This door only locks

from the outside.

Guards all had

their keys in their pockets.

I sure would like to know

what happened,

but I guess I'll never know.

Oh, why is that?

Besides the fact

it happened over 80 years ago,

and we still haven't

figured it out?

Do you know why you were the

last to be given a film permit?

Uh, no.

They're

tearing this place down.

Gonna put condos here.

Land is worth more

to the state by selling it

than by keeping it as a museum.

So, we really are

gonna be the last people

to capture the spirits

that reside here.

I wish, or we'll be

the last to finally prove

that there's

nothing here at all.

Give me a camera,

I'll set it up.

You know I'm pretty

good at holding big sticks,

I can help you

with that if you want.

Yeah, okay.

Uh, not getting a really

good signal here, you guys.

The walls of

this building are pure concrete.

Therefore, any signal is gonna

have a challenge in here.

A lot of things

have issues in here.

Will it work?

Yeah, it'll work.

I'll take you

to death row next,

it's the part of the prison

that's had the most sightings.

What? What's up?

- Did you hear that?

- Did I hear what?

It was...

Here it is,

death row.

Home of some Idaho's

most nefarious criminals.

As you can see,

these cells aren't

exactly very accommodating.

Hm. I think I'd rather hang

than be stuck

in one of these cells.

Whoa! I couldn't

fit in there when I was ten.

My mom used to feed me a lot

of mashed potatoes and gravy.

I don't think they were

exactly designed for comfort.

Ugh, but it's better

than those solitary cells

where they had to

sleep on the floor.

The guards weren't very sympathetic

to the death row inmates.

They really used to fu...

mess with these guys.

Used to drag their Billy clubs

along these cell bars.

Clink, clink, clink.

Every time they walked

up and down this hallway,

clink, clink, clink.

Drove some of those inmates

nuttier than they already were.

And if they complained,

off to Siberia they went.

Are you hearing anything?

No, but we'll all

moving and talking,

so maybe I should get room tone.

Oh, good idea. So we'll all

be quiet for a moment.

So what we're doing is

we're gonna all be quiet

and we're going to

get room tone.

That's going to give us a nice

baseline audio sound for this room.

That way if anything happens

outside of that

we'll be able to hear it

easier on playback

while we're watching and listening

to the stationary camera,

so, shh.

Room tone, death row.

What you doing?

Cut room tone.

We are recording room tone.

So we can get a nice base level

of what this room

normally sounds like.

Room tone,

death row, take two.

What if I normally talk

in this room?

Cut.

Dude, it doesn't matter, okay?

We need to get this,

we need absolute quiet.

Yeah, quiet everybody.

Room tone.

Room tone death row,

take three.

Action room tone.

Stop, stop it.

You guys should have

seen the look on your faces.

Where did you even get that?

This?

Yeah, that.

- Oh, whatever, man!

- Guys please can we get this,

because I need it.

Room tone,

death row, take four.

Got it. Cut room tone.

Guys ready to see

the hanging and drop room?

Absolutely.

Before we do that,

let's set up a stationary camera

over there

so that we can get this hallway.

Did you know

that it was the Idaho drop room

where the phrase 'drop like

a hot potato' was coined?

I did not know that.

You guys

are so gullible.

Hey, sorry I can't

help out more, you know.

- Got all this gear.

- No problem.

You told me once that you joined the

team because of a friend of yours.

I'd like to hear the story about

your friend, if you don't mind.

Yeah, friend isn't

the right word.

We were closer than that.

I've always been a tech geek.

I was ecstatic when

they assigned me to

the mobile radar unit.

We would set up near hotspots

to track enemy drones

and small surface

to surface missiles.

That's where I met Chris.

Your friend?

Mobile radar is

a two person crew.

One watches the display

while the other

has down time to

sleep in the truck,

or eat, or read.

But we still spent

a lot of time together,

even when one of us

was on down time.

We had a lot in common.

It wasn't long before

both of us realized that

we had deeper feelings

for each other.

Then what happened?

We had troops that

kept the area around the unit

free of hostile forces.

I don't... I don't know

how he got through.

But in the middle of the night a

hostile with a shoulder m*ssile launcher

appeared on the hills above us,

and he fired on the unit.

And Chris was manning

the radar at that time?

It was my shift, Jacob.

I don't understand.

I switched with him.

I was tired,

I didn't get a lot of sleep

the night before

and I wanted a few more hours.

It should have been me

out there.

It should have been me.

Chris died because I was tired.

It's okay. Here.

No, it's okay.

I'm good, I'm good.

Anyways, they discharged me

and sent me home.

And I was really lost

when I got back.

Like really lost.

And I've never been religious,

but I wanted to know if

there was something more.

So I joined the first paranormal

group I could find,

which happened to be you guys.

What was that?

Sara, you okay?

I thought I saw something.

Someone hanging.

Let's go to the drop room.

See if he's there.

It's more like

a cow shower.

Why the drain?

It's for the defecation.

What?

She's right.

They'd drop, neck would snap,

they'd sh*t themselves

and the drain is there

to clean up the mess.

Oh, lovely.

Let's go ahead and set up

a stationary camera in here

to capture the room.

I think we're

wasting our time here.

When you think about it,

if I'm a ghost

and I could choose anywhere

in this prison to haunt,

I'm sure as hell not going

to want to stay around,

pun intended, this sh*t h*le.

Literal sh*t h*le.

Interesting hypothesis.

I mean, look,

your neck snapped

in a violent death,

you sh*t yourself as you went.

You really going to want to hang

around here like it's the Ritz? No way.

That actually

kind of makes sense.

Never thought I'd hear

you say that.

I mean, we still have the cameras

set up in the death row cell block.

And I'm sure those inmates

were in constant fear

of their impending deaths, so

there's probably some

emotionally based

residual spectral energy there.

Maybe you guys aren't

as dumb as you look.

Thank you.

So, you obviously agree with me

that there are no ghosts here.

Hey.

What did the other teams

claim they found?

They all said they saw

something, so I heard.

So you heard?

You weren't with them?

Listen honey,

I've been here a long time.

I don't normally do

these late night things.

Only did it because they're

tearing this place down

and wanted,

just wanted to tonight.

What's with

this mannequin?

His name

is Black Wolf.

He was Mary Beth Flake's

arch enemy.

Why did she hate him?

He wasn't white.

Hey guys, I'm set.

Here's the laundry room.

The mangle table.

Inmates use this

to insert clothes

so they can do

hot steam presses.

A lot of inmates

got their arms ripped off

in feeding clothes

into that thing.

This is where a lot of

the sightings were?

Actually, over in this room.

This is where people have

claimed to see a lot of spirits.

You look through there,

you'll see the shower room.

Many men died in there,

especially

during the final riot.

The one in '73,

closed this place down.

No living human's been in

that room in over 20 years.

What was that?

It's a fog machine

and a tape recorder.

What?

Yeah, those are on a loop.

They're, uh...

They're there to give the tourists

the ambience of the laundry room.

Okay well, I'm going to set

this camera up here.

You okay?

Yeah.

It's still not

going to get anything.

Okay, let's see

what we got.

This one?

Let's...

Whoa, look, look, look.

Go back. The laundry room.

What did you see?

He didn't see anything.

What the...

That's probably just

the Park Ranger messing with us.

Wasn't me.

We need to go check this out.

You're getting all this right?

Yeah.

How'd you do that?

Listen, I may have

embellished the mangle table

deaths some,

and sure I kind of knew

the sounds were going to play,

and the steam

was going to hiss.

But I can honestly say I am

not making anything move

in the laundry room.

And I swear on my death,

it is not me

making that shadow appear.

I believe you.

And I don't.

Look, look, look.

The light turned blue.

What do we do now?

Exactly what we came here to do.

Make Matthew look good.

Fine.

We did it.

Curious.

It's unplugged.

Sorry, it's just me.

You good?

I'm good. I'm good.

I think we really do need to

check the cameras.

There's definitely something

happening here.

I'll catch up.

Yeah.

Need to prep

the SKEPTC.

Everything

associated with Mary Beth Flake

involved four red roses.

The rose bush outside of

this cell block

has four roses blooming on it

year round.

Why are there

only three roses?

Are you guys trying to get us

kicked out of this place?

Look, I think

it's just adorable

that you two have

a crush on Ashley.

But cutting one of the roses

goes completely

against our contract with

the Historical Society.

What are you talking about?

No one gave me a rose, Sara.

Okay.

No more ghosts for that woman.

Roses aren't in season.

Residual roses.

Oh, yeah. Residual roses,

that must be it.

Legend has it that

when the roses start to go away,

sh*t is about to hit the fan.

What is that?

It's a blueprint of the prison.

Where did you get that?

In Mary Beth Flake's cell.

The one that's locked

and nobody has access to?

Yes, Matthew, that one.

Look, look, there's

pencil markings right here.

So you just went

into Flake's cell

and the blueprint

was sitting there?

Actually, no,

rose petals led me

to Mary Beth's cell.

And then when I got in there,

there was a tear in the mattress

and the blueprint was in there.

Of course,

that makes total sense.

So, who would do that,

and why?

You know what, we're close.

I can feel it. We're close.

Oh my God!

Do you know why there would be

blueprints in Mary Beth's cell?

Mary Beth

wouldn't want you in her cell.

You may be getting help

from the other side.

She has it in for

four people at the prison,

and they hated her right back.

Hey, be sure to capture

the action, Matthew.

All of that is recording,

I'm capturing plenty.

Whoa, whoa.

What was that?

What?

There.

Was that there before?

No, no. That was definitely

not there before.

That is not creepy at all.

Matthew,

will you go check that out

and we'll just

watch the monitor?

Yeah.

Jacob can come with me.

Come on.

Follow me.

Hello up there.

I thought you said

that never worked.

Nothing. All right,

looks like we're good.

Let's go.

Hey,

way to investigate.

You really

think something's up there?

I don't know man, maybe.

Hmm.

So Sara's got you believing

that stuff too, huh?

How many investigations

have we been on

where we've had

any hard evidence?

I don't know.

You have to admit,

this one seems a little weird.

Yeah.

I think Ashley's starting

to pick up on something here.

I doubt it.

When she and I were

having coffee last week

she didn't mention believing

in any of that stuff.

It really didn't come up,

it was more of

a personal conversation.

What the hell

is he talking about?

We never had coffee.

Hey, can we get up there?

Uh, it is behind

this locked area, so no.

Well, how are we supposed to

investigate if we can't get up there?

Listen, it's like the Ranger

said, it's just a...

Whoa.

Did you see that?

Yeah, the cell door slammed,

was super loud.

And do cell doors

slam all by themselves?

When there's

a breeze in the cell block.

A breeze.

Are you serious?

Yeah, well, I wish

we had walkie talkies.

Matthew says

they're not in the budget.

Yeah, but I'm sure

his hair cream was.

Good one.

Whoa. Where'd they go?

Yeah.

Matthew?

Matthew!

Dude, not funny.

I want your brains.

Contacts.

I've been saving them

for something like this.

The look on your face,

priceless.

You are a d*ck.

What'd I do?

You know that

this is her thing, right?

Sara believes

in the paranormal.

I know,

but the show is called

'The Skeptic and the Scientist'

for a reason.

I don't.

No, no. Actually,

the show is called

'The Skeptic and the Scientist'

because you have a trust fund

and you're paying for it.

If it were properly titled,

it would be called

'The Scientist and the as*h*le.'

Now, now.

Don't fight.

Not really

your business.

Yeah, but I've

decided I kind of like you guys.

And I've got this idea,

I think you could help.

I'm not really in a position

to fund any new ideas.

Fair enough.

I fear dying in Siberia.

Hey, I heard a voice.

Don't pity me.

- No, I was going to say...

- I mean, he was right.

It's not like

SKEPTC's working.

- I...

- It's not like we found anything.

I think I just...

What am I doing wasting

all of my time with this?

Did you know my mom died

when I was ten?

No.

The night after she died

I was crying in my pillows,

and I felt something sit

at the end of my bed.

At first I just thought

it was my dad

coming to check on me,

but then I...

I looked up and

it was my mom.

It was real.

It was very real.

And what happened?

I mean, nothing really.

She didn't reach out for me

or say anything. She just...

...stared, as though to tell

me that she was all right.

And that I was going

to be all right.

And then she just faded away.

I'm sorry, what were you

trying to tell me before?

Oh! Let's just

not go back to Siberia.

Here... Here, tissue.

- Is it clean?

- I'm not sure, it's...

Thanks anyway.

No worries.

Well, we'll probably find

something a little bit more

- exciting in death row, so.

- Yeah.

- Let's go.

- All right.

When my little brother

died, my mom hired a psychic

for like basically the same

thing. You know, she just,

she wanted to know.

And, uh,

the psychic told us that

when spirits stick around

they want to know they're at

peace with their passing.

And my little bro was.

I didn't know that

about your little brother.

Hey well,

we all have our own stories.

Yeah.

Hey c'mon, let's go check out

that camera in Siberia.

- Okay.

- Yeah.

Whoa.

It says here when they used to

use these cells for

solitary confinement they didn't

have any pre-assigned times.

What does that mean?

Apparently, it means when they threw you

in here you didn't know for how long.

Could be a day, a week,

or a year. They never told you.

Well, that's

some bullshit.

Indeed. No wonder

these guys went crazy.

Hey, don't lock me in here.

I would never.

I'm not Matthew.

Thank god.

What the...

Oh.

Holy sh*t.

Nope, nope. Mm-mmm.

I am done.

Sara.

Sara.

What is your connection

to Siberia? Show yourself.

I did not sign up

for this.

I'm done. Done.

Whoa. Whoa, whoa.

Where's the fire?

No, no, no. I'm done man,

I'm done. No more.

Wait, what happened?

Where is Sara?

I don't know.

Oh, hey.

Did you see anything?

I know that somebody

doesn't want us in Siberia.

Did your doohickey

turn blue?

No, I left it

in death row.

Hey, come here.

It's okay.

Listen, your worth is

not tied to the SKEPTC, Sara.

I know that I can figure

this out, and I know

that the SKEPTC will work again.

And when it does,

I'm the one that's going to be

funding this channel.

I am not dying

in Siberia.

Jacob, I really think that

we're onto something.

You can't quit now,

we need you.

Yeah, stop being

such a wuss.

You're not helping.

You know, 17 film crews

have been in here.

Yeah.

Not a one of 17

got anything.

Okay, well that means that

if we don't, nobody else will.

This isn't real.

This is all in your heads.

- Guys, we're done. We're done.

- Yes.

- Sara, I love you,

- JACOB: Thank you.

but don't hold your breath on your

thingy saving this channel, okay?

If you don't

capture any ghosts on camera...

Then maybe we'll come back and do

an episode on one of the new condos.

What are we going to do?

We're going to capture as much

footage as we can while we're here.

We only have a few more

hours until daylight.

Ow, ow.

- What?

- God, ow.

Some feedback

or something.

- From where?

- God. Death row cell blocks camera audio feed.

- Maybe it was just a glitch.

- Pull up that camera.

- That doesn't look like a glitch.

- See. What feed is that?

Cell block four.

Do you hear anything?

- Yeah.

- What is it?

I don't know, beeping?

Let me listen.

Hey, my money, my headphones.

Go ahead.

It's not beeping, it's a chirping.

It's a smoke alarm.

Let's go check it out.

Jacob, please you have the camera.

I would really

rather not.

I'll go.

You ladies stay here.

- I don't think that-

- MATTHEW: Be right back.

Famous last words.

Wow, okay.

Not annoying.

What do you think of

room tone now, Ashley?

Okay. Open door.

I guess.

Is it annoying you?

What's he doing?

There's a beep,

so there's got to be a fire alarm.

What fire alarm?

We don't have fire alarms.

I know.

If you're...

Oh, oh!

Ow.

- It's locked in the cell.

- Come on.

- Hey!

- Stop!

What happened?

What happened?

- The mannequin, it...

- It what?

Okay. Ha-ha.

Very funny, Matthew.

Dude, we ran here thinking

you were hurt, man.

This is bullshit, okay?

I thought you said Ashley was behind you?

She was right there.

Look!

We don't have time for this, we have

to find a way to get out of here, okay?

We got to

get out of here.

We still need to

find Ashley.

Wait, Jacob, wait!

Don't leave me alone.

Ashley!

You're going to be... Ashley.

Ashley, you're going to be okay.

Come on.

Is she breathing?

Yeah. Yeah,

but she's not blinking.

Oh.

Ashley? Come on, come on.

There you go.

How did I get in here?

We were hoping

you could tell us.

Mary Beth Flake,

she told me to stay away from Siberia.

Stop!

Dude,

what are you doing?

I didn't believe and

now we are stuck here with them.

- We are not stuck here.

- Because he is gone, too.

He... No, you are fine,

Ashley's fine, he's going to be fine.

We just got to find him

and get out of here.

Can't, I can't,

I can't do it.

Hey, look at me.

Look at me.

You are Matthew Heights, okay?

You can do anything.

You're the man.

And we have more than enough

footage, so let's go, together.

Get the hell out of here,

get the ranger.

Okay.

Okay, okay, let's do...

What the hell was that for?

Just making sure you're

100%. Let's go.

What are we doing?

Uh,

he's at the end of the hall.

- What?

- Can you see anything else?

No.

Then let's go get him.

Let's go.

Are you okay?

Hey. Are you okay?

What happened?

What happened?

Go, go, go!

No, no.

This is not happening.

The door is locked.

There has to be a way out of here.

Just because you

say it doesn't make it true.

What do we do now?

There has to be some way out.

The inmate who escaped

found some way,

we just have to find it.

Wait, wait, wait. I thought

that was just one of those stories

- that you were telling us.

- No, that really happened.

- What? Okay.

- Do not mess with us.

I'm not. She figured a way

out of here, we just have to find it.

Are you sure someone

escaped this cell?

More sure

than you can imagine.

All right.

We need to figure this

out now.

Wait, you said that

she escaped somehow.

Does this have something to do

with the blueprint?

The inmate who k*lled those

guards and escaped was Mary Beth Flake.

Her father owned, among other things, the

largest construction company in the Northwest.

Helped build parts of this

prison in fact.

And you said that her father built

some of this prison, which buildings?

The administration building,

the hospital, the commissary and Siberia.

- Siberia.

- Oh, my God. Right here.

This is where the pencil

marks were.

Oh. This wall sounds like it's

made of wood, it's hollow.

Okay, all right.

Siberia.

What is that?

It's a blueprint

of the prison.

Where did you get that?

In Mary Beth Flake's cell.

Mary Beth Flake is the

one who didn't want us in here.

She's the only one who could have k*lled

the guards and escaped through these walls.

That's why she was so defiant during

her trial, she knew she could get out.

After six months of being here she spit on a

guard and they threw her in Siberia. Bingo.

Oh, my God.

But if Mary Beth k*lled those

guards and escaped through the hole then

how did they fix the wall?

There was a cover

up, literally and figuratively.

I think there had to be

some other story.

The roses, you know, the four roses

that were associated with her.

It's when Black Wolf took one of the four

roses that the truth started to unfold.

Black Wolf

was in for a petty theft charge

but Mary Beth Flake was working

with him in the laundry room,

accused him of raping her.

So he was put to death,

even though five other inmates swore...

He didn't

want to hurt us.

Black Wolf was driving us towards

Siberia to clear his name.

The official story was that three

guards were k*lled during a prison riot.

Some people hated one of those guards because

he developed a friendship with Black Wolf,

treated him like a human.

Shh,

you guys hear that?

No, I don't hear anything.

Exactly.

- Whoa, wait.

- It's all right.

I got you. I got this.

We just solved one of the

biggest mysteries ever.

All right.

All right,

nothing there. Okay.

All right, think we're good.

Now we know.

And now we go.

Need to see

if what we saw got recorded.

How's the

footage looking?

Yeah, we have

everything we shot

but we're also still

within the prison grounds.

How the hell did you get this?

We're lucky, I guess.

No, I

mean, how did you even get in?

Uh,

your guard let us in.

I don't think so.

The guard that was supposed to escort you

last night had an emergency appendectomy.

He was in the hospital.

I don't know what to tell you, man,

Shtog met us right on time and let us in.

- Shtog?

- Yeah, your guard.

We don't have a Shtog here,

smart a*s.

- What?

- Shtog, Ian.

The ginger dude. His picture's

right on your office wall.

The men in that

picture died in a riot over 80 years ago.

Quit messing with me,

what's going on here?

The official story was that three

guards were k*lled during a prison riot.

Some people hated one of those guards because

he developed a friendship with Black Wolf,

treated him like a human.

All right, my friends,

we are finally free to go.

Hey, Sara, in case you

ever see this your device works.

But it only turns blue when there's

no humans around. Hashtag just saying.
