Before Someone Gets Hurt Page #3

Synopsis: Tim and his team are the rising stars of the ghost hunting game. One thing they all like better than a good haunt is a great prank. When the team arrives at a new investigation, they cannot figure if the occurrences are part of some elaborate master prank or if the house is actually haunted. Unfortunately, they don't find the answer until it is far too late.

You guys hear anything?

If you're in here,

can you make that sound again?

I, uh...

- [Tim] Watch your head.

- [Stacy laughs]

[Tim] What a loser.

There we go.

- Not a ghost.

- [Tim] Not a ghost?

[Stacy] Nope.

Let's leave them in the dark

for a little bit longer.

I got a camera

right on Stefan.

Sounds good to me, man.

We'll turn the power back on

in five minutes.

[laughs]

All right, cut, Jamie.

[all laugh]

[crash]

[Stacy shrieks]

Stacy? Stacy?

She was just here.

Gary, get the light on!

I'm trying. Something's

shorting out the box.

[Stacy]

Tim! No!

Stacy, Lisa, what's going on?

Where are you?

- [Stacy shrieks]

- Lisa?

Where's Stacy? Hello?

[breathing heavily]

Lisa, where are you guys?

Gary? Jamie?

[panting]

- Stacy?

- [shrieking]

Stacy? Stacy?

Stacy!

Stacy!

Stacy.

Stacy! Stacy!

[panting]

Stacy!

[Stacy shrieks]

Stacy.

[pounding on door]

[whispers]

Gary? Jamie?

Gary!

[gasping]

Oh, damn it. Come on.

Sh*t! Sh*t!

F***. No!

No.

No, please, please, stop!

Please, please stop!

Stop! Don't kill me!

Please, please, stop! No!

- [all] Surprise!

- [all laugh]

[Stacy]

Aw, baby.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, my God

Oh, my Lord

We don't know

Where you go

[Stacy laughs] Oh!

Were you here tonight?

[laughter]

You should have seen your face,

seriously.

Hey, where's Billy?

Your guess is

as good as mine.

Wait, he wasn't

a part of this?

He helped plan,

but was a no-show.

[indistinct chatter]

[Tim]

You never looked better.

[laughs]

I love you all,

and you're fired.

[all laugh]

Really?

Are you surprised?

Until we stay in a house

That's on fire

All right, all right,

all right, all right.

Are we going to do a show

tonight or what?

- Let's get to work.

- Still no Billy, guys?

No. I've cycled through

every video feed that we have.

He's not here for sure.

I have him setting up earlier,

but never leaving.

All right.

I'm going to go outside,

see if I get better reception.

[camera chimes]

There's just no reception.

- [Jamie] Uh, Tim?

- Sh*t, I had two bars...

- [Jamie] Tim!

- What?

Billy?

Billy.

What the hell, man?

What are you doing?

Oh, God.

Like, why can't you just

make my life easy, huh?

Why do you constantly

have to create drama?

You don't understand.

Understand what?

What are you...

hey, look at me.

Jamie, turn the camera off.

[Jamie]

What's up with the ball?

Jamie?

Come on, Billy.

Billy, come on.

I can't go back

in there.

Go ahead.

[sighs]

[exhales]

Okay, just listen to me.

This is not a ghost ball.

It isn't supernatural.

This is just a regular ball.

No, it's not.

You see that?

There's nothing there.

Billy, there is

a logical explanation

for whatever you think

happened here.

How can you not believe in evil

after what we've seen?

Paranormal or not.

Now, if you believe in evil,

then you have to believe in God.

And God beats evil,

doesn't he?

Look...

you did a really great job

setting everything up in there.

- [laughs]

- No, I'm serious.

You did.

Really.

So why don't you come inside

and see how it feels?

You can always

leave again if...

whatever.

[sighs]

Okay?

Okay.

Come on, bud.

Hey, uh, maybe you want

to leave that out here.

It's just a regular ball.

[Tim] Listen, whatever

he thinks happened to him,

it really freaked him out.

Honestly, I've never seen him

like this before.

I'm actually pretty

worried about him.

Yeah.

We should interview him.

I mean, I think he's still

messing with us,

but if he actually saw something

we should get him on camera.

At least he'd be

contributing something.

I'm asking you

to back off.

Tim, this is a really

great story line.

Please.

Okay.

Sure.

Thanks.

[Billy]

I really don't want to do this.

[Stefan]

Okay, now...

[Billy]

I'm not doing this.

No. No, I'm not, really.

Okay?

[Stefan]

Please, Billy.

Okay, why don't

you just have a seat

on the edge of the bed,

right there.

I really don't want

to do this.

Tim says we have to.

So, tell me about the ball.

- You're f***ing with me.

- I'm not.

- I'm not doing this.

- I'm not, really.

I...

I know you and Tim

don't see eye to eye

on the whole God

and ghosts thing,

but you know I believe.

I'm with you on this one.

Look, even though

you may not like me...

we've had our share

of run-ins in the past

about other things,

at least I know you respect

that I'm a believer like you,

and the only thing

that really counts in life.

Really?

See, I had no idea that...

that you were such

a man of God.

Come on,

of course you did.

Now...

[camera beeps]

what did you see here

when you were alone?

You don't want to know.

I really do.

Trust me on this one.

You don't.

Please, Billy.

Well, I saw a lot

of dead people.

Really?

Like who?

You, for one.

Stefan, I told you

to back off!

And I told you

it was good TV.

Lest you forget, that's what

we're trying to do here,

make a television show.

Hopefully one that'll get us

on a network, so suck it up!

[Gary]

Take the camera,

and don't point it

at the lights.

Just point it here...

[laughs]

- [Jamie] Wait...

- [Tim] Yeah.

What else are you

going to take?

Somebody give me something

to put on television.

Are we all set?

EVP and laser grids are set.

Infrared camera's replaced,

right?

Billy?

What?

Stefan asked if you replaced

the IR cameras.

Oh. Yeah.

Thanks. Ready.

You look beautiful.

- Thank you.

- [Stefan] Where's Jamie?

Uh...

I don't know, but we need him

to shoot the intro.

Billy, grab a camera.

Yup.

[clears throat]

You okay?

Yeah, sure.

[Stacy] Can we do a quick

little bup, bup, bup...

We've set up motion sensors

and cameras in every room.

We've got night-vision

for later.

Laser...

thermal cameras

and laser grids.

And everything is linked back

to the video village.

As we like to call it,

central command.

Where we can capture

anything that happens.

Or doesn't.

[imitates rim shot]

[clears throat]

On me, in three...

us...

in three, two...

let's take a look around.

We've set up motion sensors

and cameras in every room.

We got night vision for later,

laser grids, and thermals.

And everything is linked back

to the video village.

We like to call it

central command.

Where we can capture

anything that happens.

Or doesn't.

Billy, come on, man.

Yeah, um...

do you guys want

to start down here?

Let's just do this, okay?

Yeah, okay.

[Gary on walkie-talkie] Tim, we got

movement in the upstairs bedroom.

What?

There's something

in the front of the house.

Okay, copy.

We'll check it out.

Okay, we're going to check out

this reported movement.

- [yells]

- [Billy] Oh, Jesus!

F***!

- [Tim] Come on, Jamie!

- Payback!

- F***.

- [Jamie] Oh, I got to get this.

[laughs]

[Tim]

Hey, hey, hey, hey, Billy, no.

- [Stacy] Whoa.

- [Tim] No, stop, stop.

It's not funny, a**hole!

- [Jamie] You deserved it.

- [Billy] F*** you, all right?

Stay the f*** away from me.

[Jamie]

What? It was just a prank.

[Gary and Lisa laughing]
