Alone in the Dark
It's just...
the children are
my responsibility.
We've been through this before.
These children have been
specially selected.
If my work is a success,
thousands of lives can be saved.
It's not about a few children.
It's about the future
of our species.
Anyway, it's too late
for doubt now.
The process
has already started.
Just do what we agreed.
At 10 P.M.,
you call the police...
and you tell them
the children have disappeared.
Sir, the subjects
have been transported.
Good.
But, sir, there's a problem.
before transport.
Now we've only got nineteen.
Someone's missing.
Sh*t!
Good evening, Sheriff.
What's going on, Adams?
There's twenty kids
live at this orphanage.
All twenty of them
have gone missing.
-And then?
-After the power went out...
I went to check
on the children.
Their beds were empty,
every one of them.
They just...
disappeared.
Did you have a nightmare?
My mommy says that there's
nothing to be afraid of...
in the dark.
Your mother's wrong, kid.
Being afraid of the dark
is what keeps most of us alive.
Pinkerton.
Carnby is coming in...
on flight 185
from Buenos Aires.
He's got the artifact.
Intercept him at the airport.
Get the artifact and kill him.
So maybe you're thinking
I'm an a**hole...
scaring that kid
for no reason...
but I'm just
trying to protect him.
You see, there's a world
around you...
that you've trained
yourself not to see.
Call it paranormal,
supernatural, occult, whatever.
But inside all of us...
is an uncontrollable fear
of the dark.
Kids are told it's irrational,
but it's not.
Fear is what protects you...
from the things
you don't believe in.
I learned the truth
a long time ago-
just because
you can't see something...
doesn't mean
it can't kill you.
When I was ten,
I lost my memory.
Gone, erased.
I know something bad happened
back then at the orphanage.
I've been looking
for answers ever since.
You don't have to believe me.
My name is Edward Carnby,
and I'm here to protect you...
from the things
you don't believe.
You travel light.
for the both of us. Trust me.
That's funny, man.
What do you do?
You don't want to know.
Sure, I do. That's the best part
of the job, you know-
learning about people's lives.
I'm a paranormal investigator.
Are you f***ing serious?
Really?
What does that mean exactly?
Let me put it this way.
I hunt and track down
the strange and unusual.
Speaking of strange
and unusual...
that cab's been following us
since we left the airport.
-No sh*t?
-No sh*t.
You want me to lose him?
I wouldn't mind.
Let's do it.
They really want
something from you.
Sh*t!
That's my cab, man!
My boss is gonna
f***ing kill me!
My insurance is not
gonna cover this, man!
Sh*t!
Pull into this market up here.
And kill someone?
It's a total dream.
Stay down!
You all right?
Where is he?
Hey! Hey!
Miss Cedrac,
we got another delivery.
I don't have anything
scheduled for today.
What museum was it
transferred from?
"For Dr. Hudgens,
from Dr. Hudgens. "
That must be a mistake.
It's probably for
the big Abkani show.
Abkani? What the hell is Abkani?
It's an ancient
Native American civilization.
They were, like,
this super-advanced culture...
until, like, 10,000 years ago,
they just disappeared.
It says it's only to be opened
by Dr. Hudgens.
This is Aline Cedrac.
She's the assistant curator.
from all around the world.
Until Hudgens gets back...
I will be doing
all his cataloging for him.
The show opens
in a couple days.
He's off on another
archaeological goose chase.
He thinks he's finally
found the Arabis.
So he sticks you
with all the work.
off your boyfriend, right?
I'll be in my office
if you need me.
Yeah.
They say a sunken ship
is like a grave.
I've been searching
for the Arabis...
for over twenty years, Captain,
and now that I've found it...
I'm afraid your
ill-informed superstitions...
aren't enough to stop me.
OK, Hudgens,
let's see what we've got.
Edward, it's John here.
I don't know if you're back from
wherever you were this time...
but if you are, call me.
It's the nightmares.
They've started again.
I need to know if it's just me.
Call me, please.
Well, are you going
to open it up...
make sure it's what
you're looking for?
The conditions must be perfect.
Otherwise,
there may be consequences.
Is this made of solid gold?
You know, the Abkani
was the first civilization...
to use gold
They believed it held the power
to contain evil spirits.
Nowadays,
we can't even remember...
why we value gold
in the first place.
Let's just load this
on the truck.
If the container
is made of solid gold...
whatever's inside
must be worth a fortune.
Oh, you have no idea.
But I'm looking forward
to finding out.
Listen. Listen!
You'll make a terrible mistake!
The only mistake
I'd be making...
is letting you walk out
with whatever's inside.
Throw him in there!
Please! No!
Open it up, Captain.
Let's see what we've got.
Don't open it!
John?
Oh, God.
What are we looking at,
Krashinski?
Electromagnetics off the scale,
Commander.
I've never seen
anything like it.
Recalibrating
all sensors now, sir.
There's no malfunction, sir.
These are accurate readings.
Jesus Christ.
Hello?
Did a shipment
arrive for me today?
Oh, it's a fascinating piece,
Dr. Hudgens.
I started decoding
the pictograms and-
Who told you to do that?
That crate was not to be opened.
Yeah, but I was only
just gonna catalog it for you.
It's not your place to question
my instructions, miss Cedrac.
Leave the tablet alone.
I'll catalog it myself
when I get back.
But, Dr. Hudgens, I-
Sir, I found them.
Sister Clara,
something's happened.
The others are back.
Yeah.
Edward. Thank God.
Hey, Linda. What's wrong?
It's John.
I woke up, and he's just gone.
All of his clothes are here.
His car's in the garage.
It's like he just got up...
in the middle of the night
and walked out.
I'll be right over.
According to Abkani legend,
when they opened the gate...
between our world
and the world of darkness...
a few people survived
by joining forces...
with the creatures
from the other side.
They gained supernatural power
but lost their humanity.
That would explain the man who
tried to kill me this morning.
I have this bad feeling...
that's what's happened
to John and the others.
Edward, you've known each other
since you were kids.
Did he tell you
he was leaving me?
Of course not.
Then where is he, Edward?
What's going on?
I'll figure this out.
I'll find John. Don't worry.
OK.
Fischer here.
-Hey, Fisch. It's Carnby.
-Edward.
I know it's been a while.
You gotta do me a favor.
I haven't heard from you
since you left 713. What's up?
A friend of mine
