[dramatic music]

[whooshing]

[whooshing]

[high-pitched ringing]

[woman]

Hey, Jeff?

Jeff?

[echoing] Jeff. Nod

if you can hear me correctly.

Now, listen.

Like I told you before,

don't let all this activity

bother you, okay?

This is just a formality.

This is what

they call an inquest.

It's just a formal way

to get together

to talk about something

we're all trying to understand.

And you're the closest thing

we've got.

[in normal voice]

Jeff, you're the only one

with any understanding at all

about what happened.

Claire?

[sighs] Yeah.

You know. Not good.

Anyway, we're all hoping

that you could come up

with something that makes sense.

Frankly, we're all at a loss.

What do you mean?

Didn't you go out there?

Yeah, twice.

And with the SWAT team,

based on what you told me.

Jeff, we didn't find anything

to substantiate your story.

I don't care.

Everything I told you is true.

There's something else

wrong here.

Oh, hey. Okay, don't worry.

They're not charging you

with anything.

This is just to help us

get our story straight.

You're not

the only one with a story

about that place, you know?

We just can't find anyone

to stick around long enough

to help us understand.

They all seem to just disappear.

Like your friends.

Gone. No bodies, nothing.

It all happened

just the way I said.

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[suspenseful music]

[wind softly blowing]

[echoing soft exhalation]

[birds chirping]

[bird cawing]

[water softly lapping]

[dog distantly barking]

[opera music playing]

[shouts] Hello?

Anybody here?

[thudding]

[laughs]

[man shouting]

What the hell is

the matter with you?

Can't you see I'm down here?

Are you the caretaker?

I'm coming up.

I am sorry about that.

Just pitching things out,

and didn't see you.

Don't get

too many visitors up here,

if you know what I mean.

I would guess not.

I'm Murray Stein.

I called you last week.

Uh, I'm with the television

show, Terror TV.

Yeah, yeah. I know who you are.

I'm Malcom.

The missus and I,

we get some TV up here.

I seen your show.

All them kids

yelling and screaming.

Kind of funny,

to tell you the truth.

Yeah.

Who knew it would

catch on like it has.

But hey, bills get paid.

-[record scratches]

-[music stops]

No kidding.

[sinister music]

Well...

...I think you have found

yourself the perfect place.

You really caught on

with this one.

[Murray]

What makes you say that?

Well, this place

has seen its share,

if you know what I mean.

It was built in the mid-1800s.

Set up to build a*mo

and blasting powder.

That's how come

it's out here so far.

Yeah,

this place was going full blow

until just after WWII.

And the feds had some

crazy stuff going on in here.

I guess they just wanted

everybody out in a hurry.

The place closed up in 1946

and hadn't been set in since.

[Murray]

Do you think

there was a problem?

No.

I think they had something

secret going on in here,

and, and just wanted

everybody out.

Maybe bury the evidence,

if you know what I mean.

[Murray]

You clean it up?

Yep.

For quite a while now.

I guess you could say

I know this place pretty well.

They'll find me dead in here

one day.

Till then, I just show up

from time to time.

You know,

I did not see your car.

[music continues]

Where did you park?

Oh.

I got a flat tire

about half a mile down the road.

I was so close,

thought I'd walk.

[sighs]

Did you go over all

the site requirements with Mike?

Who?

Mike Wainwright, the,

the location scout.

He didn't, you know,

come by and talk to you?

You'd know this guy.

Wears a black Terror TV jacket.

Wears it all the time,

never takes it off. [scoffs]

The Mr. Hollywood type.

Well, I would

surely remember that.

No, we get some teenagers

around here once in a while.

I scare them off.

But no one other than that.

I can show you around

if you'd like.

No, that's okay.

I'll come back later,

take a look at the place.

That's fine. I'm here most days.

Hell, I'm here a lot of times

at night too. [softly chuckles]

Generally, I am here.

But if I'm not here,

that gate's out there

is always open.

Never locked. Just come on in.

You know, you should've seen

this place in its heyday.

Can you imagine how busy it was?

People everywhere.

[light somber music]

All of them making a living...

...off of k*lling people

that they've never even seen.

Lots of ghosts.

If you know what I mean.

Well, Malcom, my friend,

that's what we're counting on.

Lots of ghosts.

See you later.

[ominous music]

[engines rumbling]

[electronic warbling]

[man]

All right, we're rolling.

We have a show

called Terror TV,

and it pays $5000

if you can stay one night

in a haunted place.

Would that interest you?

Yes, I would. For $5000,

I'd fight the devil.

[bossa nova music playing]

[man]

No fear.

The only thing I'd fear

is not getting that $5000.

-[whirring]

-[distorted voice]

[man]

So, do you believe in ghosts?

No.

-[man] Why not?

-I can't see 'em.

If they're there, I'd see 'em.

If they're not there,

I don't see 'em,

so they ain't there.

And if they was,

I'd kick its a*s.

'Cause ain't sh*t scares me.

Nothing.

If it ain't breathing,

it can't hurt me.

[soft rattling and whirring]

$5000?

You want me to stay overnight

in a haunted house for $5000?

[soft rattling]

[tape fast-forwarding]

You know, I figure I'll just--

I mean, if you guys

give me a shot,

I'll just go and be scared,

you know, for TV, and...

...I don't know.

[soft rattling]

One time, I was in there.

It was dark,

couldn't see a thing.

And, you know,

you kind of get

in the mood a little bit.

All of a sudden,

I get grabbed in the dark.

You know, first thing,

I turn around and clock

that son of a b*tch

right in the mouth.

I bet it'll never do that again.

You know, not when

Brad comes through.

D-- definitely. Definitely.

[soft rattling]

[man]

So this was more

of a dare for you?

I guess. Look, your friends

put you up to something,

and you do it to save face.

Understand?

[man]

But this is something you do

or don't wanna do?

[Claire]

Frankly, I could care less

if I get picked or not.

But for 5000 bucks,

it seemed worth looking into.

Tell me you are not

seriously considering her.

[chuckling]

What a pain in the a*s.

I think she's fine.

[gentle music]

I guess you know better than me.

[soft rattling]

[inaudible]

Hey, congratulations

on season two.

Just a little bit lost on me

what makes this show so popular,

but I'm sure

all will be revealed in time.

Talent and a little luck.

Some chance taking.

Not blindly.

Hey... [snickers]

no worries here.

But I just got, uh,

the talk about content.

Last time around,

I think the producers think

they turned a blind eye

to a lot.

Blind eye?

Look, we got a show done, Jeff.

It's it, pure and simple.

And we got renewed.

This puts money in pockets.

Something they probably

didn't tell you in film school.

Not always.

And for the record,

I'm with you on this one.

I think the show's attorneys

just hammered us

about liability.

Uh-- well, the last time,

they hammered us

into putting chicken-out lights

on the camera backpacks.

You know, if the contestants

get too scared,

they can just pull the plug.

This year, the contestants

are gonna look like

they're running around

with erector sets

on their backs.

Like, what else do they want?

Well, it started

with the word "caution."

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Whatever.

You know,

one of the things that sucks

about getting old, Jeff,

is the fact

that you can actually remember

when things just worked.

I mean,

you had your opportunity.

You took your shot.

If it was good enough,

somebody bought it.

Things just don't work

like that anymore, I guess.

Look, I'm here

because I liked what I saw.

I mean, really, the only reason

we haven't been put on

America's most hazardous TV

is because we are making

a lot of money.

[birds chirping]

[soft rattling]

[light suspenseful music]

-Look at this place.

-My dad told me

about this place.

-Let's get out of here.

-No, it's too sweet.

Are you coming?

Hey, check this out.

Whoa!

Hey, man, wait up!

What are you doing?

-Dude, come on.

Let's get out of here.

-Nah.

Let's go over here.

[dramatic music]

Wow!

Come on, man.

[suspenseful music]

Cody!

Cody, where are you?

Cody!

[clattering]

Cody!

Cody!

Where are you, man?

-Cody!

-[door slams shut]

[whooshing]

[dramatic music]

[screaming]

[station jingle]

[women]

WCBG weather

[man]

From the Mid-Ohio newsroom,

unusually early snowfall

is causing misery

for Ohio commuters.

It's coming down hard.

But don't cancel

your grill out yet.

The National Weather Service

says you can expect

to see sunny skies again

as quickly

as this fast-moving storm

got here in the first place.

As far as we're concerned,

good riddance.

More on the eleven o'clock news,

so stay tuned.

[Murray shouts]

Hey, Malcom!

[birds distantly cawing]

Malcom!

Hey, Malcom!

Where you at?

Malcom!

[scoffs] Must be in his office.

Man, what a dump.

Hey, Malcom!

Say he was gonna be here

all night long.

Crazy old coot.

God, this place sucks.

I'd like to know how somebody

could possibly work

in a place like this.

I gotta fax this contract.

Malcom!

[light suspenseful music]

[beeping]

-[whooshing]

-[fire crackling]

[fax beeping]

[suspenseful music]

[dramatic music]

[growling]

[whooshing]

-[screeching]

-[screams]

[light dramatic music]

[birds chirping]

[engines rumbling]

[beeping]

Hey, Jeff, where

did they find this place?

Where are we? Ohio?

[whirring]

[rattling]

[wind blowing]

[light suspenseful music]

I just talked to Howard

or at least I think I did.

Yeah, he's, uh,

visualizing, right?

Coming up with new

and creative ways

to scare the hell

out of some poor,

unsuspecting teenagers.

Who needs anything added in?

I mean, I can think

of about ten,

and we don't even need

to leave this courtyard.

[Jeff]

I guess,

while he's looming around,

we ought to find

someplace to set up shop.

Yeah, something indoors.

I think I heard somebody say

that there were some empty

offices around here.

[Jeff] Could be. I heard

something at breakfast.

Couple of locals talking.

A lot of business has been

in here the last few years.

They must have taken off

in a hurry. [chuckles]

That is,

if you believe in locals.

I don't know.

Local legends like this,

you never get all the truth.

Howard!

Howard, you shouldn't

wander around like this.

I mean, at least wait

until we find someone

or get on a two-way.

Mary, my dear, we have 72 hours

in which to sh**t this,

and time is money.

But I'll tell you what I'll do.

You go find the person

we need to talk to,

and I'll wander on

over to the truck

and get a two-way.

-Happy?

-[chuckles] Love ya.

[hip-hop music playing

on speakers]

Now, I know

you are not coming up in here

about two Black men

in the back of a truck.

Don't mind us.

We're stealing some sh*t.

-We'll be done in a minute.

-[chuckles]

Come on up. I'm Blake.

Ugly m*therf*cker's Devon.

We're your best friends

on this production.

Anything you need hooked up,

we can do.

Yeah, including

some fine-a*s women,

if you know what I'm saying.

Not much chance

of that around here.

You guys were with Brian's crew,

weren't you?

Yeah, Brian's team.

Was at the old racetrack.

We were closer than anyone else.

I need to grab a two-way

so I can take a look around

this place.

-We'll hook you up.

-Get my jacket.

You see this light?

-Yeah.

-See how it's green

and flashing?

-Uh-huh.

-It lets you know

that you got a signal.

Now, if you see

that this light is red,

you do not have a signal.

So that means

I can't make a call?

No, man. You can tell

by the bars on the screen.

If that goes red,

you can't even use

the walkie-talkie.

But at least you know.

Yeah. Just look at it

from time to time,

-and you should be good to go.

-Thanks. [sighs]

I'm gonna go find us

a place to set up shop.

Someplace dry.

And hopefully, in this century.

[somber music]

[birds chirping]

Howard, are you there?

-[radio static]

-[pigeons cooing]

[wings fluttering]

[birds cawing]

Howard, you there?

I think I've got a spot

to set up our next challenge.

[static]

[Howard on radio]

Right. Where are you?

[Mary]

I'm inside

what I think is a boiler room.

These incinerators are too large

to be anything real.

[Howard]

You know, why don't you go in

and see what's inside?

But if it's too dark,

get out of there.

[suspenseful music]

Try me...

[radio static] in a minute.

What was that?

I couldn't hear you.

[loud whooshing]

[ominous music]

[birds cawing]

Jeff, you there?

[Jeff]

Go ahead.

Look, I think

I may have found a place.

We find somebody that has

the blueprints to this p--

[Malcom]

Who are you?

[sinister music]

I'm Howard Hope,

director of Terror TV.

We're here to do our show

for the next couple of days.

You the caretaker?

[softly chuckles] Why, no.

No, I am not.

Funny you should ask, though.

I can never seem to find him

when I'm around.

I'm Malcom.

Some folks call me Judge,

others call me just Mr. P.

You're the TV guy.

I heard about you.

Can't be too careful,

though, you know?

Looks like a small crew

you got here.

I would be remiss if I

did not offer you some help.

I could have a deputy

or two come over.

Oh, that's not necessary.

We don't wanna be a bother.

We've got our own detail

down there.

Everything should be fine.

Yeah, just a thought.

I'll, uh, leave you alone then.

Do not hesitate to use

that telephone for any reason.

[suspenseful music]

No one would fault you.

This place has a history,

my friend.

And I am not talking about

just folks, local legends.

I'm talking about real people

who have come in here.

Kids, mostly.

And we've had to pick them up.

[Howard]

For trespassing?

No. No, no.

I mean pick them up,

as in on a stretcher.

They were so scared

they couldn't move.

[dramatic music]

[indistinct radio chatter]

[chatter continues]

[man 1 on radio]

Go, go!

[man 2]

Clear out!

Yeah, contact!

Going through, coming through!

[man 3]

Let me see your hands!

Get your hands up now!

Move them! Let me see the hands!

Someone get my medics

in here now!

[helicopter blades whirring]

[indistinct chatter on radio]

Police found them.

Just sitting there

in this dark room,

still as could be.

Like they was afraid

to disturb anything around.

[suspenseful music]

Anyway, some unusual things

have happened here.

So don't you hesitate to use

that telephone and call me.

[Howard]

Thank you, Your Honor.

Mr. P.

No problem.

[clicks tongue]

Have you tried the firing range?

[Howard]

Firing range?

[Malcom]

Yeah.

They had a test range here.

Basement.

You can still see shells

all over.

Okay. Let's fire up this feed

and see what we see.

Okay, so we got

three of these. [sighs]

Uh, camera one, here.

Okay, one looks fine.

Camera two... on.

[white noise on TV]

[Howard]

No, two's video's

a little choppy.

[Jeff]

Okay.

How about now?

-[Howard] Two looks fine.

-Camera three.

[chuckles]

What is this, night vision?

Yeah. We get

into some dark spots,

and this is all we have.

I hate that grainy picture,

but we can use it.

You guys are not gonna believe

the maze I found below.

It's about time.

Took me almost two hours

to set this up

with no help from you.

-Thank you very much.

-So, where are we now?

Do I dare ask if we have

the courses set up yet?

Yeah, if we include the maze

that you talked about.

Uh, hey, did you ever find

that blueprint we need?

No, but I did take the time

to map out the areas

I walked through.

Did you get to see

the firing range?

No, but I think

it's in this building.

I pretty much walked

the other ones,

at least the basement

and the first floor.

Can you draw us some maps?

Yeah, I can use my laptop

and draw some CAD drawings

based on my notes.

This is like that time

we had to do the Baker Asylum.

You remember that? [chuckles]

Yeah, I do.

That one held up pretty well

in editing too, as I remember.

CAD drawings?

I dump the drawings I make

into the computer

and I create

a layout of the place

that our contestants can use.

Aren't you afraid

they might get lost?

I guess they could,

but believe me,

by the time the contestant

comes into the challenge,

Blake and Devon have been there,

and we have re-walked

the path ten times.

As long as we watch them,

we'll be okay.

-And if we can't see them?

-You worry too much.

Stop worrying.

You'll ruin this pretty face.

Okay, let's call

the transportation guys

and get the contestants.

In the meantime,

I'm gonna find the firing range.

Okay, well, security said

they were coming with

the rest of the crew tonight,

-so I'll be in good shape.

-[Howard] Mm-hmm.

So, Howard,

should we just hang out?

Nope. We're gonna try out

this baby down below.

All right, you look great.

See you on TV.

[suspenseful music]

[Devon]

Blake, you there?

I think I see stalagmites.

[Blake]

Hey, Fred Flintstone,

I can barely hear you.

But I know you said stalagmites.

And I know you're not

in a cave somewhere.

You wanna repeat yourself?

[Devon]

I laid the cable.

We might have trouble

with the remote detonation

of these squibs.

It's really moist down here.

And I said stalagmites

'cause I'm staring

at stalagmites, m*therf*cker.

-They on the ground?

-No.

Then they're stalactites,

b*tch, not stalagmites.

Whatever. I just know

if we're getting bad reception,

we might not be able

to remote the charges.

[suspenseful music]

Well, well, well.

Home, sweet home.

Yeah, well,

a home never looked this small.

This is really cute.

Does anyone know

where we are exactly?

Some guy at the airport said

we were halfway

off the beaten track.

-[Claire] Whatever that means.

-No worries, ladies.

Combat Marine.

Know it? k*lled it.

Really? My dad was

in the Marines

or the Coast Guard.

I, I can't remember.

Big difference.

Only in the Marines

can you go to exotic locations,

meet new

and interesting people--

[both]

And k*ll them.

Yeah, we know.

-[keyboard clacking]

-[computer beeping]

-[beeping continues]

-[soft clicks]

[keyboard clacking]

[keyboard clacking]

[light suspenseful music]

[water dripping]

I mean, how long do you think

they're gonna take?

This is kind of creepy,

isn't it?

-Yeah, when I jumped out

of the van to take a leak--

-Nice.

-Excuse me. Piss.

-[laughs]

Some guy was talking

to our driver about this dump.

Said a lot of people

move in and out of here,

but no one stays.

You guys' phone work in here?

[Howard on radio]

Mary, are you there?

Okay, how do we look here?

Am I clear?

You look marvelous, darling.

[Howard]

Funny, Mary. Funny.

Well, they certainly

don't build them

like this anymore.

[sighs] It's no wonder

this place is still standing.

I'll be walking along

the hallways when she comes

You seeing what I'm seeing?

[music increases]

It's kind of damp in here.

Be sure to tell Jeff

to watch out for the squibs.

[beeping and whirring]

This place is kind of big.

A lot of junk

all over the place.

[beeping and whirring]

And I'm coming up

on an intersection.

Okay, I'm at a junction.

This appears to be the way

to the firing range.

I'm gonna be heading right.

[beeping and whirring]

These walls have to be

about a foot thick.

Probably would've made

a decent b*mb shelter.

Are we gonna get

any kind of reception in here?

Who designed these backpacks?

Gee. Jeff, tell

whoever designed these things

they gotta

bring them back in again.

Since we put

the chicken lights on,

these things weigh a ton.

Straps are digging

into my shoulders.

[suspenseful music]

All right,

I'm at another intersection.

Sign says "right."

I'm at another intersection.

This one says "right."

[Mary] Howard,

you do realize that makes

your third right, don't you?

[Malcom echoing]

Have you tried

the firing range?

Yeah.

I was thinking,

I must have missed something.

This would be hallway

number four, wouldn't it?

Are you cutting back

at this point?

[Malcom echoing]

Anyway, some unusual things

have happened here,

you know...

-[Howard] No,

I'm gonna turn left here.

-[clattering]

There're a lot of short halls,

but, man, do they twist around.

[Mary]

Okay, just let me know

if you make any more turns.

[Howard]

Okay.

[Malcom echoing]

This place has a history,

my friend...

[whooshing]

[ominous music]

[whooshing]

[Howard]

Something's not right.

I just made a left back there

and I came back

to the same sign.

Going left.

Yeah. Are those

your only choices?

Left and right?

[Jeff]

Well, it started

with the word "caution."

[whooshing]

[Mary]

Howard, you shouldn't

wander around like this.

I mean, at least wait

until we find someone

or get on a two-way.

[Howard]

Mary, my dear, we have 72 hours

in which to sh**t this,

and time is money.

[dramatic music]

[panting]

[whooshing]

[distorted laughter]

[panting]

[music increases]

[Howard]

Mary?

I just came back

to the same g*dd*mn spot.

How many turns did you make?

I didn't make

any f*cking turns, Jeff!

I went in a straight line.

Howard, get back up here.

Let's find someone who knows

how this place is laid out.

Well, I don't know if I can.

What if I keep wandering

like I am now?

And what if every time I think

I'm getting closer, I'm not?

Howard, if I didn't

know you any better,

I'd swear you sound panicked.

Shove it, Mary.

I'm going to the sunspot.

Okay, but remember,

those are for a defib.

They don't last.

[Howard]

Do I look

like I care right now?

[suspenseful music]

Defib? What's a defib?

On our third show,

we had a contestant

get so spooked

that she broke her leg

stepping into a hole

in the ground,

which she wouldn't have

had she not been so upset.

Okay, you're the boss,

but get back up here

in a hurry, would you?

So, anyway,

our insurance company

made us put these lights in.

They're disposable

and waterproof.

-[whirring]

-They emit a very strong light

for a period

of about ten to 15 minutes.

That's it.

Think I found the firing range.

[Mary]

Howard, stop.

Move to the right.

All right, I'm moving right.

What is splattered

all over the wall?

[Howard]

I don't know, it's, it's dried.

Can't be anything current.

If I had to guess,

I would say it's paint

or some sort of stain.

Paint? Why paint?

Well, on a firing range,

you set the accuracy

of a weapon,

but they built b*ll*ts here.

They would need to see

the penetration power

it would have.

What? So they shot things?

Like what?

[chuckles] Well, you've

heard it said that a .357 Magnum

can plow through

an engine block, right?

-Yeah.

-Well, somebody had

to figure that out.

What you're seeing here

is the overspray,

probably testing

the fragmentation.

You know, what kind

of exit wound it would leave.

All this

and a firearms expert too.

Well, my dad

was really into g*ns. [sighs]

I never got it, though.

But I guess I learned a lot.

Remember the light.

We need that, just in case.

[Howard]

Yeah, just in case.

Get Blake and Devon down here.

I'm leaving the sunspot on

until I'm sure I can find

my way out of here.

I just hope

I don't get lost again.

[suspenseful music]

So, have you actually had

someone panic like that?

One time, we thought for sure

it was a heart attack.

So, you never know.

But, no, we haven't had

-any casualties at this point.

-Well, except my nerves.

-Yeah.

-I'm gonna step out the door,

see if Howard needs some help.

Okay.

[ominous music]

[eerie music]

I know I didn't just see that.

[soft whooshing]

[ominous music]

[soft burbling]

No, I didn't just see that.

[music increases]

[high-pitched ringing]

[shakily exhales]

What the f*ck?

[dramatic music]

-[thud]

-[echoing laughter]

-...is this nothing--

-Crap service is not

so much my area,

-but, you know, I'll see

if I can pull some strings.

-[sighs]

-Would you? Do you mind?

-For you? Yeah.

-Yeah. Thank you, guys.

-[Howard sighs]

Welcome to the tower of terror.

We will have the contestants

prepped by midnight, right?

Right. They should be

in their trailer.

[clears throat]

[muffled] Oh, yeah. Contestants,

contestants are in the trailer,

and they know--

[mumbles] to come out

until they are called out.

-Good, 'cause

what I'm planning to do--

-Sir?

-What?

-I was wondering-- I mean,

are they gonna have any more

food than, than this in here?

UH, maybe later you can run out

and get some for all of us.

[whimsical music]

Oh.

Thanks. I'm--

I'm gonna be out, out, out here.

Thank you.

Where did you find that guy?

Looks like a longshoreman.

[chuckles] Would you go up

against a longshoreman?

-No.

-In the meantime,

I'm gonna head over

to Blake and Devon's trailer

and catch a little nap.

-Do they know

about the second challenge?

-Yeah, they know.

Is it just me

or is it completely unfair

that they get a cot

and we don't?

-Either they're really lazy

or it has something...

-[sighs] Look,

-I don't give a sh*t

one way or the other.

-...to do with--

They have a place to sleep,

and I need some rest.

[mumbles] Uh-- okay.

Well, I forgot to tell them

to put some glow sticks

on the path,

-so I'll give them a call.

-Look, tell them I'm on my way.

And get Blake up here

so he can supervise the gags.

And you should

probably brief the contestants

on the history of this place.

Send the first one

to the incinerator. [chuckles]

Somebody better come up

with one hell

of a third challenge.

Blake, you there?

-What's up?

-I need to ask a favor.

-What?

-I'm tied up

with getting this map done,

and I was wondering

if you could look

some history up on the place.

No one found the caretaker

for this place?

I mean, he would know.

No, but we really

need something,

'cause the show starts

in a couple of hours.

Well, give me a minute.

I'm kind of dealing

with a situation right now.

Did you get

the first challenge wired?

Yeah, that's okay,

but Devon fell on his head

-in the infirmary.

-Well, then it's probably

not a good time

for Howard

to be coming your way.

[engine rumbling]

[light suspenseful music]

What are you doing?

[laughing]

-"My $5000 list.

-[Terry laughs]

Rent, insurance,

dinner with Sissy,

lunch with Sandy,

and Vegas with Ashley."

-Dude, can you add?

-Oh, yeah, I can add.

-Where am I on this list?

-Top of the list, babe.

You gotta be kidding me.

You know each other?

Actually, she was

with my best friend. [chuckles]

Traveled halfway

across the US to meet you here.

Go figure.

I'm going over there

to see what they're up to.

[Terry]

I don't think they want us

over there anyway.

Well, aren't we supposed

to be the stars?

She's right.

I'll be back in a while.

Maybe walk around some.

[knocking on door]

It's Howard. I'm coming in.

-[Blake] Yeah, shut that door.

-[door closes]

[somber music]

What the hell

happened to him, Blake?

[Blake]

He had an accident.

[Howard]

An accident?

What kind of accident?

[sighs]

That's all I can figure out.

You know that area

where we're putting

the first challenge?

The area Mary saw?

[sighs] Devon was down there

laying some cable and...

...h-- he got freaked out.

Wait, wait, wait. Freaked out?

What do you mean, "freaked out"?

[grunts]

He was pretty out of it

by the time he got up here,

but he said he was down

in the infirmary and...

[sighs] he saw something.

I don't know, man.

I don't know, man.

He started talking

some crazy sh*t

about little kids

running around him and,

and then blood on the walls.

Whatever he saw, i--

it scared him so bad

that he panicked.

His injury is from a,

uh, close encounter

with a very real cement post.

-Ouch.

-You know, we've done what,

how many of these shows?

Ten or, or 12?

I mean, we've been

moving around nonstop

for, for the last five months,

going into all these

f*cked up locations.

I mean, if you asked me,

I'd say he just had enough.

You know, checked out.

Finally gave in.

[chuckles]

Well, somebody told me

something once.

Let me see

if I can remember it. [sighs]

"Nothing so effectively

robs the mind

of its ability to reason

and act as fear."

[light suspenseful music]

This is hitting us

all pretty hard, Blake.

Believe me,

I understand. [sighs]

I myself am

a little stressed out.

That's why I came in here

to lie down for a few.

But I see

all the best seats are taken.

No, man.

There's always room at the end.

Hey, uh, Dev,

why don't you hop up, man?

-[groans]

-You lay down. I'm gonna go

back up to the op center,

see if I can dig up

some info on this place

so we have a damn show.

Thanks. Look,

if I'm not up by 11:30,

have somebody come in

and grab me, all right?

[Blake]

For sure. I'll be back down

to check on him anyway.

[whimsical chiming]

[engine rumbling]

[light eerie music]

Oh, you gotta be kidding me.

This is not

a slasher flick. It's TV.

-There's no sex in it.

-You didn't find

anything else out?

Only an order.

You're first, I'm last.

And I'm in the middle? Nice.

Well, they said there's a video

that tells us everything

we need to know.

-Did they talk to you?

-Who?

-The TV guys.

-No.

Don't you find it odd

that no one's gone

through these things with us?

Well, I'm sure they know

what they're doing.

Yeah, but they're not

in the dark with us.

[Brad]

I don't know, man.

[crickets chirping]

[light suspenseful music]

[beeping]

[dramatic music playing]

[Blake]

Okay, contestants.

This is Operation Central.

You need to listen

to this announcement,

'cause this is gonna

give you instructions

and some information

you might wanna know.

The place you're about to enter

was a place

that manufactured munitions

and gunpowder.

b*ll*ts and expl*sives.

Like bombs.

Opened in the Civil w*r,

you'll find bunkers

where expl*sives were hidden

completely self-contained.

Women and children worked here

while the men were at w*r.

The place was

top secret until 1946,

when it just closed the doors.

Now, here's the good part.

So, listen in.

The locals believe

that the reason

the factory was closed

had to do with a double m*rder

that may have happened.

Rumor has it that the m*rder

was the work of the janitor,

and he shortly jumped off

the smokestack

when the police

were getting close.

They don't really know

because no bodies

were ever uncovered.

They say that the bodies

were melted alive in a lead vat.

No witnesses.

They believe...

[soft white noise on TV]

...that the noises

that the locals hear

in the middle of the night

are noises like that

between a roar and a scream.

No one will say what or why,

and we are here to find out.

Terry, your challenge is first.

Be outside your trailer

at 12:01 a.m.

A roar and a scream?

How much of that

did you make up?

What makes you think that I--

Okay, the death thing is true,

but no one really knows.

And all I saw was

the unofficial website

about the plant.

The rest of it,

the molten lead thing,

that was artistic license.

Artistic license?

Since when is bullshit

artistic license?

When you have a show to do

and you don't know d*ck

about the site.

Mary, we are truly

strangers here.

No blueprints,

no maps, no history.

I'm going back to the trailer.

Gotta check out Devon

and start rigging

challenge number two.

Hey, wake up Howard.

We got a show to do.

-[keyboard clacking]

-[beeping]

[dramatic music playing]

[thunder rumbling]

Well, I'm not really scared

of haunted houses

'cause there's really nothing

that scares me.

If you wanna talk

about a haunted house,

you know, you look

for S*ddam Hussein,

his little palace.

Some say it was haunted.

Look, your friends

put you up to something

and you do it to save face.

Understand?

[thunder crackling]

[whirring]

-[tape fast-forwarding]

-[sighs] Okay, we ready to roll?

-Video pack's ready.

-[soft clack]

Night vision ready.

-[man 2] Testing.

-Sound?

Oh, sound's ready.

Security?

[man 3 on radio]

Security.

Contestants are

in their trailer.

Security's ready.

Effects ready?

Blake, you there?

[light suspenseful music]

Yeah. Just a minute.

Devon, you there?

Yeah, man. You wanna do this

or you need a nap?

[Blake]

Only one of us needed a nap,

m*therf*cker.

Make that two of us.

But who's counting, right?

Now, are we ready?

Yeah, that should do it. [sighs]

Ready.

Howard, do you mind

if we take a break?

I'm gonna grab my coat

and get a quick smoke.

I'll be right back.

It's a good time, Jeff,

but get back here soon.

-Hey, Terry, here's your pack.

-Cool.

-What's this thing do?

-This is your face cam.

You're gonna use it

when you're on your challenge.

All right! So, um, did you see

that, uh, the Brad guy?

Yeah, he's a jerk.

You should stay away.

[Terry]

He's cute!

-Don't you think? No?

-[Mary] No.

-Okay, there you go.

You're all ready.

-Thank-- so, do I go up there?

-No, you go that way. Yeah.

-Oh, over here?

-Okay. Thanks. Okay.

-[Mary] Good luck.

[crickets chirping]

[soft snapping]

-[eerie screaming]

-[echoing clattering]

What the hell?

[suspenseful music]

Would you guys hurry up?

-Have you seen Jeff?

-No. This is probably payback

for when I was walking around,

I'm sure.

I don't have time

for this kind of thing, Mary.

Well, don't look at me.

I didn't say anything.

[suspenseful music]

Huh.

Good.

Good.

Let's review.

Jeff hears creepy sound.

Jeff decides

to investigate creepy sound

by walking down would-be

condemned staircase

into a very dark basement.

Good. It's a good plan.

Oh, man.

[deeply exhales]

[snarling in distance]

Hello?

Okay, who's over there? Come on.

[soft clicking]

I can't see much down here.

-Blake, you there?

-[Blake] Here.

[static] In the trail--

...you?

Listen, Blake.

If you can hear me

...do me a favor.

You looked up info

about the factory, right?

You know I did.

Yeah, well, I'm in the north

tower building right now.

All I can see are bicycles.

Bikes? You say bikes?

Yeah, bikes.

Can you look and see...

[sighs] there were kids here

at one time?

This is just really weird.

I mean...

[grunts]

[suspenseful music]

Where the hell

did all these bikes come from?

Great.

[keyboard clacking]

[soft clicking]

[beeping]

[water trickling]

Okay, ready trap one.

[beeping]

Three, two, one, go!

[buzzing]

I knew it! I knew it!

Hey, shut the f*ck up, man.

I'm trying to make it work.

[light tense music]

[beeping]

What the hell just happened?

-[snarling]

-[echoing laughter]

-[screaming]

-[chittering]

I'll go down there.

I'll trigger it on our way back.

[crying] Somebody?

Somebody, please,

please answer me!

[sobbing]

[dramatic music]

[music increases]

[screaming]

What's going on here?

What's happening here?

-[rumbling]

-[explosions]

-Isn't Blake down there?

-Not that far in.

[shouting]

What's happening here?

[expl*si*n]

Tell her she needs

to calm down a little.

[Mary]

Contestant, you need

to calm down a little.

[crying] I'm calming down.

[music continues]

Man, quality control again.

[buzzing]

-[loud expl*si*n]

-[Terry screams]

[gasping and panting]

-[screaming]

-Whoa! Whoa--

It's okay! It's okay!

I'm with the crew.

I'm with the crew. You know.

I'm Blake.

I do effects. It's okay!

In case you haven't seen it,

I ran into the contestant,

challenge number one is dead.

Get the f*ck away from me!

-[sparkling]

-Oh, sh*t.

-You set this up? [laughs]

-[panting]

You're f*cking twisted.

This is not

what I signed up for.

-I'm gone.

-Howard, she wants to leave!

Tell her she can't.

Tried that.

Any other bright ideas?

All right. Bring her up.

I think she's

on her way, chief. sh*t.

[suspenseful music]

[Jeff]

sh*t.

[exhales]

Good. Radio's still down.

Lighter isn't working.

Fresh out of film school.

I gotta pick this show

to work on.

Man.

It's like a bad horror movie.

[Terry]

You set up f*cking things

to scare me?

You set this up?

This is all bullshit!

It's no bullshit, Terry.

Let me show you something.

Roll night vision

on Terry's camera.

[music continues]

Th-- there was something there.

I-- I saw it.

I saw it!

Don't even try to cover this up,

you as*h*le!

-All of you!

-Terry, we can have

a car take you, but--

-You go to the trailer

and wait for it.

-[Terry sobs]

Do you think that's wise?

I am not staying one more minute

in this godforsaken place.

I'm to blame, Terry.

Granted, we did add

a little something to the mix,

but we didn't,

didn't mean for it

to happen when it did.

I had to come down

and find out why it didn't work.

Nice try,

but you staged all this,

this sh*t just to scare me?

Well, you're

some twisted people,

I'll give you that.

But the thought of children

in this is pathetic.

There were no children, Terry.

Well, those kids' bikes

weren't in my head.

-Bikes? Bikes?

-Call security.

I don't want her

wandering around.

Mary, get the pack

and get it down there.

Get Brad out of the trailer

and away from Terry.

We'll give him his briefing.

-[Jeff] Come on. Yeah.

-[lighter clicking]

Lots of paper rolled up.

Get this damn lighter.

Come on.

Oh.

[Mary on radio]

Where the hell

have you been, Jeff?

The first challenge went to sh*t

and you're nowhere to be found.

You can say that again.

I'm...

...I'm lost.

I only got my lighter.

Gonna try and make

a torch of some sort.

I'm in an office called Donner.

Donner?

-Yeah.

-Donner was the man

that they believed

k*lled Malcom Petrie,

the owner of the factory.

Donner k*lled himself

before they could question him.

Great.

[suspenseful music]

Chucky, need

some fire protection.

[clattering]

[softly] What the--

[whispers] What the hell?

[laughs]

"Silent night, holy night."

For... Aaron Neville

sings Christmas.

Silent night

[chuckles]

Holy night

All is calm

Okay, I'm singing Aaron Neville

in the basement.

-[Mary] Jeff, you there?

-[thuds]

[music continues]

Jeff?

Just a minute.

[soft clicks]

[dramatic music]

-How'd it go?

-I'm so freaking gone,

it's not even funny.

Where's Brad?

He, he's gone.

Well, when did he leave?

Like a couple minutes ago.

-Oh, I'm gonna go look for him.

-Okay.

Come, let's go.

I got you a ghost.

Be quiet.

Jesus.

Let's go. Let's go.

Everybody's a critic.

[clatters]

[mysterious music]

[softly] Huh.

"Little Town of Bethlehem."

They'll wear a Neville version

this time, thank you.

"Please, God...

...make me right

about what I am going to do.

Forgive me for that

which I only did...

...in the hope that the world

would be rid of this...

...monster."

[music increases]

[Terry shouting]

Brad!

Brad? God damn it, Brad!

Where are you?

Brad?

[crickets chirping]

[distant clattering]

[suspenseful music]

[growling]

-Brad? [screams]

-[whooshing]

[soft click]

[light mysterious music]

[inaudible]

[Donner echoing]

No one really knows

the true story.

[soft rattling]

It's a secret curse.

I bear it all.

-...I bear it...

-...curse...

In the better times,

I was Malcom's bookkeeper.

He was my friend.

...he was my friend...

It was my job

to keep his secrets,

both the good and the bad.

...and the bad...

I truly believed I knew

about all he held close.

-...he held close...

-...held close...

Oh, how wrong I was.

The light behind the door

gave him away.

[light ominous music]

[door creaking]

[music increases]

I saw him take the innocence

of a young girl,

but he saw me too

and gave no care.

[melancholic music]

Ever a threat to him,

I was discredited

and banished to the basement,

ever to be a caretaker.

-...to be a caretaker...

-...caretaker...

My job is now

to cover his handiwork,

to dispose of the bodies

and hide the bicycles

from view.

I had amassed 100 or more

before I could stand it

no more.

-...stand it no more...

-...no more...

Too many lives ruined.

It had to end.

And it did.

[dramatic music]

It was that day I learned

that evil never truly dies.

It's now too late for me.

They know he's gone,

and I've done all I can

to close him in,

save one last act.

Please, God, make me right

-about what I am going to do.

-"...what I am going to do.

-Forgive me for that...

-Forgive me for that

-which I only did...

-...which I only did...

...in the hope that the world

would be rid of this monster."

[music increases]

[Jeff]

We gotta get out of here.

[water trickling]

Found the floor map.

Looks old.

What does it say?

I guess it goes to the range.

Do you see anything unusual?

No, not really.

But I can't see anything

down here without more light.

Brad, this is

the challenge operator.

You should see

some chewing gum on a sign,

and this is to make sure

that you don't leave

the challenge path.

No, there's nothing

like that on this sign.

It's pretty old. Dirty.

-I don't think I'm gonna--

-[g*nsh*t fires]

What was that?

Shots fired! Shots fired!

-[g*nsh*t fires]

-What the f*ck was that?

Devon, pick up.

Challenge two, fire and rain.

-How many squibs did we load?

One, right?

-[g*nsh*t fires]

-Say a one.

-We heard three shots.

We heard three shots.

What the f*ck?

[dramatic music]

[r*fle c*ck]

[whooshing]

[chain rattling]

[man echoing]

Really, I need-- can I just--

please just-- please, let me go!

It's just-- it's the cat.

I-- I didn't mean it.

Don't hurt me, please.

Just, just let me

out of here. [mumbles]

-[chain rattling]

-[grunts]

-Please.

-Try the knee first.

-Please, just--

please, let me go!

-That should slow him down.

Please, let me go!

[mumbled shouting]

Please, just let me go.

[echoing g*nsh*t fires]

[indistinct mumbling]

...let me go.

Please, just let me--

-Please. It was

only a cat. Just...

-[r*fle c*ck]

-...just-- please,

just let me go!

-[g*nsh*t fire]

Just-- just let me

out of here! I just--

I just need to get out

of here. Please, mister!

-Mister, just, just,

please, let me go!

-Finish him.

[music increases]

[man shouts]

No! Please, just let me go!

[distorted] You're next.

[g*nsh*t fires]

-[r*fle c*ck]

-[clinking]

[whooshing]

[Brad]

Guys, what the hell

is going on down here?

-They're sh**ting.

Are you fricking crazy?

-[g*nsh*t fires]

[panting]

[g*nsh*t fires]

We lost his face cam.

[whirring and buzzing]

[g*nsh*t fires]

[music continues]

[beeping]

Sir, Brad's back!

He's back online!

[Brad]

Who's sh**ting at me?

Who are you guys?

[g*nsh*t fires]

Get me out of here!

They're sh**ting at me

down here!

-Guys, this isn't a ghost

anymore! This is f*cking--

-[g*nsh*t fires]

-[grunts]

-[thudding]

[beeping and crackling]

[Jeff]

Op center, come in.

Somebody in the damn

op center, come in!

-Jeff.

-Have you started

the second challenge yet?

-Mm-hmm.

-Well, get him

the hell out of there,

all sh-- all sh*t's

about to bust loose.

Don't do a damn thing

till I get up there.

James, we have

a contestant down.

-Who? The Marine guy?

-Yeah, Brad.

Somewhere on the firing range.

We lost him on the monitor.

-Are you serious?

-Yeah.

Someone's down there with him.

Shane, do me a favor.

Meet me down at the trailer.

We have a contestant down.

Okay, we're on it.

-[Mary] Be careful.

-I'll fill you in as we go.

Yeah. Wait a minute.

Stay in constant contact.

This situation is getting

way out of control.

Yeah, we're on it. We're on it.

[tense music]

Ready?

Ma'am, listen. Y-- I need you

to go back to your trailer

as soon as possible.

-You shouldn't

be here right now.

-Why? What's wrong?

There's nothing wrong.

We're just having a couple

of technical difficulties.

Oh, so they send you,

the rocket scientist,

to figure it out?

-Look, you need to leave now.

-What's going on?

[Jeff]

Is anyone there?

-[sighs] Yeah.

-Mary, listen to me.

Go to the truck for a minute,

and then I'll be up.

We need to leave now.

Jeff, we already sent them

to look for Brad.

What are you talking about?

You let him go in?

He was down

before you called us.

-They think they have him.

-He's already dead, Mary.

Get those security guys

out of there!

[sighs]

Security, where are you?

[dramatic music]

Op center, this is security.

-Op center, you find him?

-No, we're on the rooftop.

Uh, we checked down

at the firing range,

but we didn't see anything.

-We're gonna make another pass.

-Hey, look, up there.

We got him. He's in the tower.

Just get up there

and bring him down quickly.

[music increases]

[beeping]

[Claire]

Excuse me.

Are you with the crew?

How'd that happen?

I hit my head on the post.

Looks like it hurts.

Only when I laugh.

-I'm Devon.

-Claire.

What are you doing here,

Claire? Aren't you

one of our contestants?

Yeah, supposed to be

is more like it.

You should be in your trailer.

You know, if they find out--

I think they have

other things to deal with.

What do you mean?

Well, I was in my trailer,

and the guy watching it,

your security guy,

suddenly got called

to go somewhere and--

And you're here instead?

Heck with that.

I figured if there's a reason

he told me to stay in there,

and I wasn't leaving anyway,

something's not right,

and I didn't wanna be

in there by myself.

Where are the other

two contestants?

Aren't they with you?

Wait a minute.

Blake, you there?

Blake, you there?

-Blake.

-[Blake] Devon.

[door opens]

You're not gonna

believe this, man.

[suspenseful music]

[clattering]

I have no idea what happened.

I'm trying to get in touch

with Jeff.

I can't find anybody.

I don't know what's going on

with Mary.

I mean, damn,

I think they-- I don't know

if they're dead or what.

-I mean, I've been trying

to call the guy all day.

-Well, that kind of goes along

-with what you were saying

about seeing something.

-Don't go there, girl.

We already have enough

to deal with.

Shut up, Blake.

I know what I saw.

-Down in the infirmary?

-The infirmary?

-Yeah, you said you were there.

-No, I didn't.

Yes, you did.

Man, that hit on your head

must have really messed you up.

You said you were there.

Why you say that?

You said you saw

some writing on the wall.

[Devon]

Yeah. And?

It said "inoculation."

Infirmary.

You know, shots.

It didn't say "inoculation."

It said "immolation."

-Immo-what?

-Immolation.

-What is that?

-It's like making a sacrifice.

Like throwing yourself

on a grenade.

A suicide?

[dramatic music]

-Damn. Dropped my flashlight.

-No, wait. Look.

What the hell?

[echoing screaming]

[thudding]

[thudding]

[blood splashing]

It was a mess down there.

I mean, we gotta get our sh*t

and get out of here now.

We're leaving.

Get what you need.

Finally,

somebody's making sense.

I was just telling them

that the caretaker of the place

-probably has k*ll--

-Yeah, the caretaker

k*lled the owner,

k*lled the owner's mistress,

and he k*lled himself.

-I'm going to the op center

to get some tape.

-It's gonna take a few--

Blake, we don't have time!

You don't understand.

If we stay, we're dead.

[gasps] Come on, girl.

Wait a minute. Look at this.

You were here, Devon.

North tower.

Nothing happened.

Well, almost nothing.

And Jeff wandered around

the whole place

and nothing happened.

And so did Mary.

You say nothing happens here.

All that sh*t with Brad

happens there?

-[Claire] Right.

-Fine. f*ck the whole place.

-I'm gone.

-Stop! One problem.

The op center is

in the south tower.

-[fire crackling]

-[screeching]

[thudding]

[dramatic music]

What the hell is going on?

-[Mary] Security!

Security! Security!

-[Howard] Blake, Devon--

-...generator up here? sh*t!

-[Mary] Security, come in!

Security!

Jeff! Blake! Devon! Anybody!

Jeff, are you there?

Hello? Blake?

Blake?

[music increases]

-[whooshing]

-[growling]

[thunder rumbling]

[footsteps approaching]

[Blake]

Jeff!

-You all right? Okay.

-Yeah.

Devon and I will go up

to the op center

and get everybody out.

-We have to leave!

-Wait.

Donner k*lled himself

because he thought

he could keep people

out of the factory.

-He's in the north tower.

-Okay, that's beautiful,

but we're getting out of here,

right? Right?

Yeah, we are,

invisible man or not.

Devon, I'll go up and get

everybody out. Dev, you up?

-Yeah.

-We're looking for a phone.

-Are you out of your mind?

We're leaving!

-Get down the steps!

Wait!

[softly] Damn.

[ominous music]

No time for that, man.

Go find a light.

I'm gonna see if anybody's okay.

[softly] sh*t.

sh*t.

[suspenseful music]

[shouts] Found the panel!

[soft hissing]

[eerily] Gas.

[hissing increases]

[dramatic music]

[shouts]

I'm flipping the breaker.

-Devon, no!

-[loud expl*si*n]

-[rumbling]

-[Jeff grunts] Petrie.

-Who?

-Petrie! I heard it when he

knocked me down the steps.

-Thought I was dead.

-Now what?

[loud explosions]

-[grunting]

-Run like hell.

-[shouting] Where?

-Basement.

These places always have tunnels

connecting the buildings.

I knew you were gonna say that!

[fire whooshing]

[dramatic music]

-[Claire] Blake!

-[shushes]

-We thought you were dead.

-No, baby, I'm from Compton.

No mother taking me out

till I say.

-Look, he'll be

down here any minute.

-All right, come on.

-No-- I'm out.

-But you said--

I said "till I say,"

and I'm saying it now.

-All right.

-Wait. Take this.

I took all the video

I could grab.

If it works, use it.

I'm gonna go up here

and get him off before morning.

-[growling]

-Go!

Hey, you! Ain't you nasty!

That's one--

-[growling]

-I'm right here!

[fire crackling]

-Stairs-- God!

-It's blocked off.

Damn it. I didn't think of it.

We're in the north building,

all right.

Donner sealed that thing off

to keep Malcom out.

I saw a ladder

about 75 yards back.

Let's see if we can get in

from there. Come on.

[shakily breathing]

[dramatic music]

[Jeff]

This way!

[grunts]

Oh, you gotta be kidding me.

[Claire]

Does it go through?

[Jeff]

Yeah. Come on up. [grunts]

-Keep him in the north tower?

-[Malcom] You're an idiot.

I guess not. Come on, run!

[growling]

[whooshing]

Damn. There's a lot

of tunnels down here.

-We picked the wrong one.

-We won't make it

to the north building?

We're not gonna make it

till daylight.

Oh, God, we could be down here

all night looking for a sign.

Or a light switch.

F-- f*ck, a light switch. Here.

There's a button

in the back of that thing.

Each one of these has

a fluorescent for emergencies.

-Lights up the whole place. Yes!

-[whirring]

We got enough

to light up a staircase.

-We can--

-Wait a minute.

What's happening?

The light!

Oh, God.

-[panting]

-[Claire] sh*t.

Blake must have grabbed the one

Howard was using it.

These things light--

last, like, 15 minutes.

Howard chewed this one up.

[deeply sighs]

You've got to be kidding me.

[dramatic music]

-[whooshing]

-[snarling]

[loud whooshing]

We gotta go. We gotta go now!

-[growling]

-[Blake screaming]

-[panting]

-Look.

It's gotta be

the way to the north

tower building. Come on.

[clinking]

Get under there.

[Claire]

It's blocked!

-[explosions]

-[loud whooshing]

-[snarling]

-sh*t.

Be right there. [grunts]

-[Claire] What do we do?

-Working on it!

-[Jeff grunts]

-[Claire] It's a trap!

Ram through it!

[snarling]

[growling]

[music continues]

-[screaming]

-[shouts]

-[growling]

-[groaning]

[growling]

Not very sporty, now.

This is a young one.

-[grunts]

-You found the journal,

didn't you?

Oh, I know about the journal.

I know about everything

that idiot did.

Tell me, do you suppose

that janitor can help you now?

[groaning]

-[growling]

-No one leaves my factory.

You idiots.

-[grunts]

-No one leaves here!

[crackling]

-Get out the window!

-Out the window?

-Are you crazy?

-Don't think, just do it!

You think he'll help you?

You think that idiot

will help you?

This is my kingdom! My factory!

When I finish with you,

your suffering

will be legendary,

even in this place.

This is my factory!

My secret!

[whooshing]

[crackling]

[whooshing continues]

[growling]

[panting]

[dramatic music]

Trespassers will be prosecuted.

-[loud expl*si*n]

-[whooshing]

[crackling]

[loud rumbling]

[dramatic ethereal music]

[rumbling continues]

[whooshing]

[high-pitched ringing]

[woman]

Hey, Jeff?

Jeff?

-[snaps fingers]

-[echoing] Jeff.

Nod if you can

hear me correctly.

Now, listen.

Like I've told you before,

don't let all this activity

bother you, okay?

This is just a formality.

This is what

they call an inquest.

It's just a formal way

to get together

to talk about something

we're all trying to understand.

And you're

the closest thing we've got.

[light melancholic music]

[in normal voice]

Jeff, you're the only one

with any understanding at all

about what happened.

Claire?

[wind blowing]

[soft rumbling]

[sighs]

-[thud]

-[echoing screaming]

[quietly] Dead. No.

[in normal voice] not good.

Anyway, we're all hoping

that you could come up

with something that makes sense.

Frankly, we're all at a loss.

What do you mean?

Didn't you go out there?

Yeah, twice.

And with the SWAT team,

based on what you told me.

[somber music]

Jeff, we didn't find anything

to substantiate your story.

I don't care.

Everything I told you is true.

There's something else

wrong here.

Oh, hey. Okay, don't worry.

They're not charging you

with anything.

This is just to help us

get our story straight.

You're not

the only one with a story

about that place, you know?

We just can't find anyone

to stick around long enough

to help us understand.

They all seem to just disappear.

Like your friends.

Gone. No bodies, nothing.

It all happened

just the way I said.

Well, like they say,

sometimes you gotta

tell it to the judge.

All rise.

The Ninth Circuit Court

is now in session.

[soft creaking]

[inaudible]

Jeff, right here.

[distorted] Okay.

The court has asked permission

to talk to you off the record.

The judge has

a couple questions to ask.

[Malcom in normal voice]

Only one, really.

[dramatic music]

You don't actually believe

in ghosts, do you?

All this talk about ghosts,

you'd have to be insane

to believe such a thing.

Remand him to custody.

Mental observation, two years.

-No review.

-[clacking]

[shouting] Son of a b*tch!

It was you! It was you!

-What are you doing? It was him!

[indistinct shouting]

-Get him out of my courtroom.

[shouting continues]

Ghosts.

[man indistinctly speaking]

It was you. It was you.

It was you. It was you.

It was you. It was you.

It was you. It was you.

[shouting] It was you!

[dramatic music]

[man]

From the Mid-Ohio newsroom,

a small earthquake rocked

the Little Miami River area,

a result of an expl*si*n

at the long-abandoned

Petrie Munitions Factory,

and authorities

are investigating.

More on this and other stories

on the six o'clock

broadcast tonight.

[engines rumbling]

Well, let's see, ladies.

This is the last one.

Last property

we're gonna see today.

[man]

I don't know. They can't keep

any tenants in here.

Looks like a dump to me.

[Malcom]

Well, that's because

you haven't seen it.

From the inside, yeah.

[wind blowing]

You know, I, I feel,

honestly, I haven't

been here before myself.

I guess we go in here.

Watch your step.
