Among Us Page #2

I KNOW YOU'RE HER.

ARE YOU GOING:

TO ORDER SOMETHING OR WHAT?

NO.

ACTUALLY, WE'RE HERE BECAUSE

WE HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS

-WE'D LIKE TO ASK YOU.

-YO, ELEANOR! WATER!

BE RIGHT BACK.

-SO, THIS IS YOUR SURPRISE.

-SHE WAS ON A SHOW.

IT WAS CALLED,

"HAUNT ME NO MORE."

HAVE YOU SEEN IT?

YEAH,

A FEW CLIPS LAST NIGHT.

JESUS, FRANK,

THOSE SHOWS AREN'T REAL.

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

I JUST DO.

EVERYONE KNOWS.

-YOU WANTED MY HELP.

-I KNOW, BUT--

FRANK, SHE'S AN ACTOR.

GIVE HER A CHANCE.

OKAY, YOU READY?

WE'RE HERE BECAUSE

WE HAVE A PROBLEM.

WELL, I HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU,

BUT WE ALL HAVE PROBLEMS.

YOU'RE AN EXPER IN THE PARANORMAL.

CAN I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION NOW?

WE HAVE THE CASE

OF A LIFETIME.

FOOTSTEPS WHEN:

THERE'S NO ONE THERE.

LIGHTS FLICKERING

ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES.

THINGS MOVING ON THEIR OWN.

A DOOR SLAMMED INTO HER.

WE DEAL WITH IT EVERY DAY,

NO MATTER WHERE WE GO.

NO MATTER WHAT WE DO.

NO MATTER WHAT HOUSE

WE LIVE IN,

IT FOLLOWS US EVERYWHERE.

IF YOU STILL HAD YOUR SHOW,

WE'D BE ON IT.

OKAY.

I WAS ON THAT SHOW.

OKAY? BUT REALITY TV

AIN'T REAL.

IT'S ALL EDITING,

SOUND EFFECTS.

SEE? SHE'S A FAKE.

I DIDN'T SAY I WAS FAKE.

I SAID THE SHOW WAS FAKE.

WILL YOU HELP US?

WE'LL PAY YOU.

ARE YOU HERE:

TO MAKE FUN OF ME?

YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME.

WE'RE NOT.

WE LOST OUR SON:

FROM WHATEVER'S HAPPENING.

OH, THE SYMPATHY PLAY, TOO.

THAT'S GOOD.

GOT THAT CHAIR:

FOR SHOW AS WELL?

IT'S PRETTY PATHETIC.

LOOK, WE'RE TELLING

THE TRUTH, OKAY?

SO, IF YOU ARE

WHO HE SAYS YOU ARE,

AND YOU CAN DO:

WHAT HE SAYS YOU CAN DO,

THEN MAYBE YOU CAN

REALLY HELP US.

LOOK, YOU FOLKS SEEM NICE,

OKAY?

I'D LOVE TO HELP...

BUT ACTUALLY, I DON'T BELIEVE

IN THAT STUFF ANYMORE.

THAT'S NICE, YEAH.

I MEAN, I DON'T WANNA BELIEVE I ANYMORE EITHER, RIGHT?

I DON'T WANNA BELIEVE

THAT MY SON IS GONE.

I DON'T WANNA BELIEVE

THAT SOMETHING EVIL

TOOK OVER HIS SOUL,

AND LEFT NOTHING

BUT AN EMPTY SHELL.

ALL OF THESE THINGS HAPPENING

TO US OVER AND OVER

FOLLOWING US:

FROM HOME TO HOME.

IT ALL STARTED:

JUST BEFORE MY SON DIED.

I WILL NEVER FORGE HOW BLACK HIS EYES WERE.

SO, ELEANOR, IF THAT'S

YOUR NAME, IT'S REAL...

BECAUSE I SAW IN MY OWN SON.

AND HEY, IT'S OKAY IF YOU

DON'T WANNA BELIEVE IT,

'CAUSE I DON'T WANNA

BELIEVE IT EITHER.

GOD, I SWORE

I WAS NEVER GOING BACK.

OKAY...

IF I DECIDE TO HELP YOU,

HOW DO I KNOW THAT YOU'RE

TELLING ME THE TRUTH?

-HI.

-COME ON IN.

YOU SURE WEREN'T KIDDING

ABOUT THAT DRIVE.

-THANKS FOR COMING.

-DON'T SAY ANYTHING.

I NEED TO DO READINGS

WITHOUT ANY INFLUENCE.

HELLO, 1970.

HEY, SHOWS WHAT YOU KNOW.

DIGITAL STUFF,

GOOD AND CHEAP.

YOU LOSE A LOT.

THINGS ARE EITHER,

YES, YOU GOT IT,

OR NO, YOU DIDN'T.

THIS STUFF LETS ME

CATCH THE MAYBE.

YOU SOUND LIKE:

A VINYL RECORD FREAK.

ARE YOU SURE:

YOU CAN HELP US?

WELL, LIKE THAT SHOW,

I DON'T MAKE PROMISES.

AND I NEED TO SEE

WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH FIRST.

JUST DON'T WASTE

OUR TIME, ELEANOR,

THAT'S ALL THAT I ASK.

IF THERE IS SOMETHING HERE,

IT WON'T BE HERE FOR LONG.

DID ANYTHING HAPPEN TODAY?

-NO.

-YEAH.

WHAT WAS IT?

FOOTSTEPS OUT BACK.

IS THERE SOMETHING

YOU'RE NOT TELLING ME?

NO.

MMM!

SO, HOW LONG HAVE YOU

BEEN DOING THIS?

OH! I'VE BEEN EATING

MY WHOLE LIFE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

GHOST HUNTING.

YOU KNOW, PARANORMAL

INVESTIGATION.

PRIVATELY,

QUITE A WHILE.

AND PROFESSIONALLY

I LEFT NEAR THE END

OF SEASON ONE,

'CAUSE THEY WERE MORE INTERESTED

IN RATINGS AND NOT TRUTH.

I THOUGHT WE WERE GONNA

DO SOME GOOD, YOU KNOW?

DID YOU EVER REALLY GE TO HELP ANYBODY?

RARELY.

THE PRODUCERS EXPLOITED ME

AND MADE MONEY DOING IT.

THEY COULD CARE LESS

IF I WAS REAL OR NOT.

IF I COULD REALLY HELP,

IT DIDN'T MATTER.

SO WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

WHY COME?

I CAN SEE THINGS

THAT ARE HIDDEN.

OBJECTS, EVENTS, PEOPLE.

SOMETIMES I HEAR WORDS

LOUD AND CLEAR:

TIPPING ME OFF:

SOMETHING'S HAPPENING.

A FEW YEARS AGO MY MOTHER

WAS ON A CRUISE,

AND I WOKE UP IN THE MIDDLE

OF THE NIGHT HEARING HER VOICE

SAY THE WORD, "FLOOD."

AND I CALLED HER TO MAKE SURE

SHE WAS OKAY, YOU KNOW,

BECAUSE SHE WAS ON A SHIP

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN.

AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE,

BUT THEN A FEW DAYS LATER

I WENT TO HER HOUSE

TO FEED HER CATS.

AND A WATER PIPE HAD BURST.

THERE'S NO EXPLANATION

TO HOW OR WHY.

THAT'S A TASTE

OF WHAT I CAN DO.

DO YOU HEAR THAT?

SO WHAT DOES YOUR STORY

HAVE TO DO WITH US?

I KEEP HEARING ONE WORD OVER

AND OVER EVER SINCE I MET YOU.

WHAT WORD?

RUN.

HOW LONG HAS:

HE BEEN LIKE THAT?

SINCE THE CAR ACCIDEN ABOUT A YEAR AGO.

NO, I MEANT, I SENSE, LIKE,

A DIFFERENT ENERGY WITH HIM.

DIFFERENT FROM YOU OR ME.

GOOD OR BAD?

IT'S NEVER THAT SIMPLE.

HAS HE CHANGED SINCE THEN?

WOULDN'T YOU?

SORRY.

DO YOU FEEL GUILTY?

WHAT?

THAT YOU'RE ALIVE

AND YOUR SON'S DEAD?

AND YOU CAN WALK

AND FRANK CAN'T?

WELL, YEAH, WHEN YOU

PUT IT THAT WAY,

YEAH, I GUESS I DO.

I FEEL PRETTY SHITTY.

I LOST MY SON.

I NEARLY LOST MY HUSBAND.

I AM-- I'M BARELY HOLDING ON

TO ANYTHING THAT'S NORMAL.

I'M SCARED.

YOU SHOULD BE.

BUT I'M GONNA HELP.

ANYWAY, YOU'RE OUR FIRS HOUSE GUEST WE'VE HAD

SINCE THIS ALL STARTED.

WELL, I'M HONORED.

THE GUILT WILL ALWAYS

BE THERE, YOU KNOW.

IT NEVER GOES AWAY.

YOU JUST LEARN:

TO LIVE WITH IT.

I'VE NEVER TOLD ANYONE THIS,

BUT THERE WAS ONE EPISODE

THAT WAS NEVER ALLOWED TO AIR.

THAT WAS THE REASON I LEFT.

HERE TAKE THIS.

WHAT'S INSIDE HERE?

I DON'T KNOW.

WE HAVEN'T LOOKED YET.

WHAT THE HELL, MALLORY?

SORRY.

IT HAPPENED AGAIN.

-AT THE STORAGE CABIN.

-ARE YOU OKAY?

OH, YEAH.

GRAMMAR SCHOOL STUFF.

- RIGHT.

- LET THE SHOW BEGIN.

OUR CAMERAS ARE INFRARED.

WE'LL HAVE TO WAI TILL DARK TO TEST THEM.

HIT THE LIGHTS.

ARE WE GONNA SEE

WHAT'S BEEN FOLLOWING US?

THAT'S THE PLAN.

SO, WHAT NOW?

BEDTIME.

OKAY, SO, IT'S USUALLY

RUN OF THE MILL STUFF.

WEIRD NOISES,

FLICKERING LIGHTS,

MOVING FURNITURE.

CREEPY, BUT NOT DANGEROUS,

RIGHT?

I MEAN, DEFINE DANGEROUS.

WELL, EXCEPT FOR THE ACTIVITY

FOLLOWING YOU:

WHEN YOU MOVE:

FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE.

I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER

SEEN THAT BEFORE.

I'D SAY ALL THAT TAKES US OU OF RUN-OF-THE-MILL STATUS.

YEAH, MAYBE.

HOW BAD DOES IT HAVE TO BE?

- YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW.

- OKAY.

IT JUST HAPPENED SO FAST.

HE, UM--

HE STARTED BLEEDING

OUT OF HIS EYES.

AND THEN OUT OF HIS NOSE.

AND I CALLED FOR AN AMBULANCE,

BUT THEY TOOK FOREVER.

AND THEN HE STOPPED BREATHING.

HE JUST COLLAPSED.

FELL OVER.

HE MADE NOISES I HAVE NEVER

HEARD COME FROM A PERSON BEFORE.

AND THEN HE DIED.

THEY BLAMED FRANK,

AND THEY SAID:

THAT HE SHOOK HIM TOO HARD

AND THAT DANNY'S

LITTLE HEART GAVE OUT.

BUT FRANK WOULD NEVER EVER.

YOU SAID BEFORE:

THAT DANNY'S EYES WENT BLACK.

WHEN WAS THAT?

WHEN HE STOOD BACK UP.

AND ATTACKED ME.

SHH.

JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES.

CLOSE YOUR EYES.

DON'T MOVE.

MALLORY!

- GO!

- MALLORY!

MALLORY! MALLORY!

BE CAREFUL!

YOU'RE OKAY.

WHAT? WHAT?

OH, MY GOD!

NEED ANY HELP?

THINGS WOULD HAVE BEEN

SO MUCH EASIER:
