AND JUST TAKE PICTURES OF, YOU

KNOW, LIKE, ANYTHING.

WELL, YOU'RE GOOD AT THIS.

YEAH, WE GOT IT.

AND THEN, WHEN LUCAS GETS HERE,

HE CAN DO THE INFRARED, AND

YOU...

WELL, YOU CAN JUST DO WHATEVER

YOU WANT TO DO.

[ LAUGHS ]

YOU SHOULD NEVER SAY THAT TO ME.

[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS ]

[ DISTORTED MALE VOICE ]

[ DISTORTED LAUGHTER ]

LET THE RECORD STATE THA THE PATIENT IS NONRESPONSIVE.

DO YOU KNOW WHY YOU'RE HERE?

HELLO?

AGAIN, THE PATIENT IS

NONRESPONSIVE.

[ PEOPLE SCREAMING ]

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

WHAT?

HI.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH, YEAH.

I JUST GOT A LITTLE SENSITIVE,

I GUESS.

I'LL SAY.

IF I REMEMBER, THIS PLACE IS

AWESOME!

YEAH.

I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S...I JUST...

I...I KIND OF FELT HIM IN THERE.

YOU KNOW, I FELT HIM SCREAMING

FOR HELP.

[ LAUGHS ]

WELL, THEN, WE DEFINITELY

HAVE TO SHOOT THIS.

YOU COULD TELL HIS STORY, MAYBE

EVEN MAKE US FAMOUS.

[ LAUGHS ]

Yeah.

DID I EVER TELL YOU WHY I

TRANSFERRED TO U. OF A.?

NO.

UM...

I WENT A LITTLE CRAZY MY

FRESHMAN YEAR.

I WAS AT USC, AND I WAS SITTING

THERE WITH MY NEW SORORITY

SISTERS, LISTENING TO THEIR

STUPID, SELF-ABSORBED TALK, AND

I JUST...

I JUST BROKE, YOU KNOW?

I DIDN'T KNOW WHY I WAS THERE.

I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING IN COMMON

WITH THEM.

AND IF I HAD TO SIT THERE AND

LISTEN TO THEM TALK ABOUT THEIR

SELVES FOR ONE MORE SECOND --

LIKE, EVEN THEIR VOICES STARTED

TO SOUND LIKE YAPPING POODLES.

IT WAS...

ALL I KNEW WAS I COULDN'T SEE

THEIR F***ING FACES OR LISTEN TO

THEM TALK ANYMORE.

THREE DAYS LATER, I WAS AT THE

THIS RANCH IN TUCSON, FIGURING

SH*T OUT.

THEY DIAGNOSED ME WITH "ACUTE

EXHAUSTION AND DEPRESSION."

AND I TRIED TO TRANSFER BACK,

BUT IT WAS TOO LATE.

I HAD ALREADY LOST MY

SCHOLARSHIP, AND I WOULD HAVE

HAD TO REGISTER AS HAVING A

MENTAL DISORDER SO THAT THEY

COULD KEEP TABS ON ME -- FOR MY

PROTECTION, OF COURSE.

SO, HERE I AM.

SH*T.

I'M SORRY.

[ SIGHS ]

NO WONDER THIS HITS YOU SO HARD.

SIXTY YEARS AGO, YOU COULD HAVE

BEEN HERE.

WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION ANYTHING

BEFORE?

YEAH. YEAH.

"HI.

MY NAME'S MAYA, AND I JUST SPEN TIME IN A PSYCH WARD, BUT I

REALLY NEED A ROOMMATE."

NO.

I TRUST YOU.

I JUST...I GUESS I WAS HOPING I WOULD NEVER COME UP.

WELL, HEY, I'M NOT GONNA

JUDGE YOU.

NOW COME ON.

LET'S GO CHECK THE REST OF THIS

PLACE OUT.

YEAH?

[ VIDEO CAMERA BEEPS ]

[ SIGHS ]

WHY DON'T YOU CATCH A PICTURE

OF THAT?

THAT CRAP OVER THERE.

[ LAUGHS ]

OH, GOD!

YOU KNOW, WE ACTUALLY TRAIPSED

THROUGH THAT.

WE DID THAT FOR THIS FILM.

ARE YOU GETTING ANY OF THIS,

OR ARE YOU JUST PLAYING AROUND

BACK THERE?

DOES ANY OF THIS STUFF LOOK

LIKE THE SET OF YOUR LAS INTERNSHIP?

NAH. THIS IS CLEAN.

THIS WILL BE REALLY GOOD FOR

PICTURES.

YOU KNOW, THE MOST DANGEROUS

THING IN THIS PLACE IS YOUR

SENSE OF CURIOSITY.

OH, YOU KNOW, CURIOSITY IS

WHAT CREATES FILMS.

UH-HUH.

ALSO WHAT KILLS FILMMAKERS.

ARE THERE ANY MORE

SH*T-INFESTED HOLES YOU'D LIKE

TO DRAG US INTO?

GOD!

BATTERIES.

IT'S WEIRD.

WHY WOULD SOMEONE NEED TO CUT A

HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT?

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

THERE WE GO.

CAN YOU GET CLOSE ON THAT?

YEAH.

EXCELLENT.

GUYS, DON'T LEAVE ME OU HERE!

WELL, THEN, WALK IN THE DOOR.

WALK WITH US, THEN.

GEEZ!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING.

OKAY.

THIS IS NICE, JOURNEY

TOGETHER THROUGH THE BASEMENT.

SHUT UP!

ALL RIGHT, IT IS KIND OF NICE,

ACTUALLY.

I LIKE THE FACT THAT THERE

ARE NAILS STICKING OUT OF THE

CEILING.

YEAH.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE

"HELLRAISER."

[ RATTLING ]

THAT'S NOT FUNNY, YOU GUYS.

WHAT'S GOING UP THERE?

HEY, IT'S PROBABLY -- IT'S

PROBABLY JUST ANGEL AND DANIEL.

DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THEM.

MY GOD, GET THIS.

THERE'S NOTHING IN HERE, YOU

GUYS.

[ GASPS ]

I KNOW YOU GUYS HEARD THAT.

COME ON!

I...IT WAS PROBABLY -- IT'S

PROBABLY AN ANIMAL.

IT'S ABANDONED.

[ RATTLING CONTINUES ]

YOU GUYS...IT SOUNDS LIKE A

KID.

IT'S PROBABLY AN ANIMAL.

IT'S AN ABANDONED STRUCTURE.

YEAH.

ABANDONED STRUCTURES AND ANIMALS

SOUND LIKE THAT ALL THE TIME.

[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS ]

[ GASPS ]

WHAT WAS THAT?

I DON'T KNOW.

I SAW THE SAME THING YOU DID.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL THA WAS.

BUT YOU SAW IT, RIGHT?

Yeah.

YEAH.

F***!

[ VEHICLE DOOR OPENS, CLOSES ]

F*** THIS SH*T!

I'M GETTING THIS B*TCH.

[ VIDEO CAMERA BEEPS ]

[ SIGHS ]

HOW COULD ANYBODY POSSIBLY

NEED TO PISS THAT MUCH?

YOU ARE SO DISGUSTING!

NO, I'M SERIOUS.

I'M SERIOUS.

AAH!

WHAT THE F***?!

[ LAUGHS ]

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

AT LEAST I'M GETTING SOME

GOOD STUFF.

I'M GOOD. I'M GOOD.

NOT EVEN FUNNY.

IT'S NOT FUNNY AT ALL, AND DON' DO THAT AGAIN!

IT'S F***ING HILARIOUS.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

[ SIGHS ]

HEY...

[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS ]

AAH!

TO GO IN THE OTHER ROOM AND TAKE

SOME PICTURES.

I SAW SOME PLACES EARLIER THAT I

WOULD LIKE TO CATCH.

COOL.

GIVE ME YOUR FLASHLIGHT.

YEAH.

THANKS.

BE RIGHT BACK.

[ SIGHS ]

SEE, I LEFT YOU A MESSAGE.

MMM.

BATTERY LOOKS GOOD.

MEKALIA'S BEEN OUT FOR A

WHILE.

I KNOW.

I'M WORRIED ABOUT HER.

THE GIRL'S PROBABLY HALFWAY

NO, SHE WOULDN'T DO THAT.

YES, SHE WOULD.

HEY, BABE.

WHO THE F*** IS THIS GUY?

HE IS HELPING ME --

SHUT UP.

WE NEED TO TALK.

WHY DIDN'T YOU ANSWER ANY OF MY

CALLS?

UM, WELL, WHAT PART OF "I

DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU

ANYMORE" DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?

I SAID I WAS SORRY.

OH, OKAY, THEN.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST GET THE F***

OUT OF HERE?

SEE, I KNOW YOU DON'T MEAN

YOU JUST GOT A LITTLE UPSET.

IT'S OKAY.

I FORGIVE YOU.

HEY, IT'S NONE OF YOUR

F***ING BUSINESS, LITTLE MAN.

LET HER GO.

OH, WE MOVE ON QUICKLY, DON' WE?

LOOKS LIKE I'M GONNA HAVE TO

SHOW OUR GUARD DOG A LITTLE

LESSON IN OBEDIENCE.
