Holy
oh. Whoa
Sh*t.
I was thinking if you need money
you can use my credit card.
What?
I got it under control
Sure you don't want to come
and stay at my place tonight?
I'd like to, but I'll be
up all night studying
Now get out of here
Marcus sent me to get the money
You cannot be showing up
to my f***ing house like this
- I need more time.
- Marcus said to get the money tonight
or he's going to pay himself
at your girlfriend's house.
Listen to me
You leave her the f***
out of this.
Oh, I'm just the messenger
Get us the f***ing money
Jesus
Cool.
No.
My husband liked
to collect awful things
Take it to the dump
with everything else
- You know I can sell this-
- Young man,
when you take this to the landfill
promise me
you'll watch them bury it.
Man.,
Sorry, ma'am,
but one man's trash
is another man's treasure
Cooler than I thought.
What
Sh*t
- What is it, man?
- Get your sh*t together
You gotta see this
All right
Wow.
- What the hell is it?
- I don't know.
What's that?
It's a key
- Is that an engraving?
- Yeah.
Von Tristen,1952.
Dude, we might have
a real antique here.
Come over here
Check this out, dude
I think I figured out
where the key goes.
Give me that
That's creepy
What happened?
Why would someone
put a music box in a coffin?
I don't know
But I'm going to bed
So you're thinking
post-modern philosophy- ambitious
I like it. Right here.
First few chapters are a little slow
but the ending- change your life
Okay, I'll take a look
Game over
Skinner was asking
about you in class today
wondering if you dropped out
Yeah, I slept right through it.
The harder I try, the worse I do
- I wish I could help, man.
- Show me what you found
Wolfgang von Tristen.
Born:
Frankfurt, 1412Builder of torture devices
I saw that already
There's no mention of coffins-?
- Of any kind.
- Right this way
Age of Darkness
This guy was like an evil version
of Leonardo da Vinci.
They called him
the Devil's Craftsman
That's it.
Idolon Machina
Von Tristen was fascinated
with death and the worlds beyond
The later part of his years
were spent creating
the ultimate machine-
a mechanical coffin
that allowed him to safely experience
the sensation of death.
Von Tristen called this
'ghost machine'-
ghost machine
How much you think it's worth?
Thousands? Millions?
Collectors would kill
for something like that
Hey- the book's not allowed
out of the archive!
You're gonna set off the alarm
Glad to be of assistance
Dude, what the hell
are you doing?
I just replaced a couple
of pins in the music box
It should work fine
Easy, man.
What's up?
Read this
Von Trlsten's ghost machine
This coffin-like device
is said to produce
an out-of-body experience
similar to the first
moments of death
Von Tristen was accused
of sorcery and burned at the stake
Although sketches of the coffin were
recovered from his laboratory,
- an actual prototype was never found
- Until now.
No way.
Grab Minnie.
You'd better not hurt
my goldfish, man.
- What'd you do?
- Nothing!
Wait wait wait wait
Just give it a sec
Minnie's dead
Oh ho!
I can't believe it
Hey
Call Platt.
Kyle!
Why are you beeping?
- Honk honk
- Hey.
What's up?
So what's the surprise?
Ah, that is exactly what I needed
What happened to your neck?
- It's a hickey from Gina
- What?
She tried to roundhouse me
in kickboxing class,
but I kicked her ass
Ohhh, that's my girl
the night as it cuts before
Whatever we're going thru
just want to be with you...
Kyle, the gas company just called
They're going to shut off
the gas if we don't pay the bill
Not now, Sutton!
Sure, I'll take care of the bill
Just like I did last month
When are you moving
into a new place?
I am not moving into a new place
I got an awesome bathroom.
and Sutton pays for everything
Hi, Julie.
Hi,Sutton.
Yeah, thanks.
Sutton, will you get the door?
Hey, Platt
Well? Let's see this thing
Interesting.
Wait till you see the inside
Amazing
- Wanna go for a ride?
- I wanna run some tests first
You scared?
I'm careful
- How about you, Sutt?
- Yeah right.
It didn't hurt the fish
Um, there's a big difference
between a goldfish and a human being
All right, it's gotta be me
Hey, do I have to remind you
this was built
by an expert
in torture machines?
- With some help from the devil
- Wait? Huh, what?
Just kidding
If you see spikes
shooting out of the sides,
pull me out
October 10th
Kyle Baker enters
the ghost machine
Three turns should put Kyle
in a trance for about a minute
Kyle,
- are you afraid?
- Just turn the key
going
I don't know
Ha ha ha. Kyle, you can quit
pretending now.
Dude,
I don't think he's joking
He's- he's not breathing
This is not good.
I'm not okay.
This is not okay. This is not okay
- Huh-uh
- Careful
- Come on, Kyle.
- I don't know if you can touch him
' Kyle, wake up!
' Easy, Okay.
- No no, Kyle, Kyle
- It's okay.
One minute. Come on
No, we need to wake
him up right now!
Just let the music end!
- Ooh ooh!
- Holy sh*t!
You scared the hell out of me!
One minute, five seconds
- Tell us what happened, man
- Man!
Dude, do you remember anything?
- Come on, what the hell, man!?
- Say something.
Mm,
It was like
virtual reality
You're there,
but you're not
You mean like a dream?
No, it's more like
being invisible
I wish you could
tell me more, man
Try it for yourself
I shouldn't do this
Yeah, Platt,
I thought you were smart.
I'm cursed with curiosity
You're gonna be fine
Relax
Bon voyage.
Ahh!
- Easy, man.
- Chill, dude. We got you
Thank God!
Get me out of this thing! Get me out!
What the hell happened to you?
I don't think my experience
was as enjoyable as yours.
No, this isn't good.
I do not like this at all! Not one bit!
Not one bit. It's evil,
I don't like it! It's not good!
Dude,dude!
What do you think
it's doing to us?
It's an NDE-
a near-death experience
We seem to be approaching
the threshold of death
without actually crossing over.
You all right?
Do you need a breather?
You want some water?
I'm next!
I was hoping you'd say that
I really think this is a bad idea
It's gonna be fine, Platt.
Sutton, when you go under
I need you to read
the words on this card
so that I'll know
we're not dreaming
- You understand?
- Yeah.
My God
Kyle! Kyle!
Sh*t. Listen,
I need you to keep an eye on him
What's going on?
I came to show you something
When I offered you
my credit card yesterday
I didn't know you had already
been using it for a month!
Oh come on,
I was going to pay you back
- Look, I can't talk about this
- What are you thinking?
I can't talk about this right now!
Oh my God!
What the hell is going on, Kyle?
Something big is going down.
I will call you tonight
to explain all of this.
Unbelievable.
That's Platt's scooter
Great
Holy sh*t!
- What did I tell you?
- I was walking.
What was written on the card?
