as fast as it went up.

The little ghost left.

That's odd.

I just changed the

battery and I'm out.

But you left some charging, right?

Yeah, it's just odd.

Papillo, can you hear me?

Where are you?

We are testing the camera signal.

Papillo, we don't see anything.

Everything is fine.

Hey, there's no image, we can

hear you, but there's no image.

Stay there!! Don't move it!

We lost it.

It might be just the signal.

I don't think so.

Everything looks alright here.

Papillo, what's going on?

There's no signal.

Stop messing around.

What's going on?

I'll go look for him.

No, he needs to answer back.

Talk to me, what's going on?

I'm alright, just give me a minute...

Why can't we see anything?

I was covering the lens.

Man, don't do that, we have

to document everything.

Ok, document this paranormal sound!

You're such a pig.

Ok man, finish what you're doing

and come back.

And stop joking around.

Alright!

Hey, is there anybody

else there with you?

No, nobody.

Why? Did you see something?

Well, I don't want to scare you,

but rewind your camera.

Hold on a second.

What is that?

-There's a shadow.

Is anybody out there?

What was that?

It's just a power failure.

Papillo, go hook up the generator.

Hold on, are you alright?

There was another shadow,

check it out!

Oh, wow.

Would you come with me just a second?

-Right now?

It's quick.

-Alright.

There was nobody else

there with me.

Yeah, we saw it

through the monitor.

Ignacio is leaving.

I think he makes up

stories to scare people.

Saying there's ghosts to make

this place more attractive.

Check out Arturo, trying

to hook up with Mariana.

She's way too much of a woman

for him.

Man, turn on channel number 2!

Turn on number 2!

...we get along pretty well...

I think it could work...

Well, the thing is,

I was pretty wasted that night...

Besides, we work better as

friends, don't you think?

Yeah, but that's no excuse, the thing is...

for me it's not enough...

I'd like us to be more than friends...

Why don't we just talk

about this later?

We're working...

What are you doing?

Can I help you?

What did Ignacio say?

-He left the keys.

Yeah, check out the drama.

I want to talk about something.

You should understand, you can't just

walk in and do whatever you want.

Remember, Nacho said we

should respect the place.

We should film and leave.

We came here for a reason.

The guy must be hiding something

if he doesn't want us near that door.

There are things we

shouldn't mess with...

Where did this dog come from?

I don't know, but he's guarding...

Guarding? So besides ghosts,

she can talk with animals too!

Take this, I don't want

the dog to bite me.

Ok, let's see what this

fleabag is protecting.

Alright, let's go in.

Watch your head.

Smells like something's burning.

Check out that wood.

Don't touch anything!

Do not touch anything!

Do you know what it means?

Yeah, there was an exorcism here.

Hi.

Don't touch anything!

What are you looking for?

What's the problem,

it's just needles.

No, what are you doing?

The needles fell to the floor!

-I told you not to touch anything!

-They're hot.

-Gaston, don't touch it!

I can't do this with you.

-Come on! Stop the drama!

Wait, we can just fix it.

-No, you don't listen!

Calm down, we can

put the needles back.

Do you know what

those needles mean?

No, I don't.

-What is it?

That piece of wood was blessed and in

every needle there's an evil spirit.

-But there are lots of needles, a shitload.

-Ok come on, let's not lose control.

No reason to freak out.

-You're the one who should be more scared.

Look, you won't get

anywhere by scaring us.

We came here to film the ghosts,

no one is leaving.

Or should I remind you that

you are all under contract?

Come on! You don't

have to say that.

We all know why

we are here.

Doesn't look like it,

Gaston, finish what you were doing.

Yeah, go ahead.

Do you think something

bad can happen to us?

Yes.

Luis! We have a

serious problem.

Now what's a serious problem?

Now what's a serious problem?

The generator is dead,

we won't have power.

Did you put gas in it?

-Yeah, we put gas.

-Oh, no, it's starting...

-"It's starting? Starting?"

What is "starting?"

This looney isn't going

to stop scaring people!

You can't talk to her like that!

Look, if the generator doesn't work,

you take the cables and hook them

to the light pole.

Like they do in the slums

and ghettos.

Come on...

Costa Rica is ruled by the Law of

Minimum Effort:

mediocrity, indifference,

self pity...

and then they wonder why they

don't get far in life.

People say you need

balls for this business.

I've won a lot of awards

in other countries and..

It's not enough to have balls...

you need to show them!

-Is he breathing?

-Look at the smoke!

-Stop filming this!

What's your problem?

Call an ambulance!

He's unconscious!

Does he have a pulse?

We have an emergency here at

the Duran Sanatorium!

-Take care, Papillo.

-Thanks.

Be careful.

There are those sons of b*tches arguing.

Esteban is an a**hole. He doesn't

know sh*t about electricity

and he orders Papillo to hook

up to the light pole.

Motherf***er.

If Luis doesn't tell him

how it is, I will.

I don't give a sh*t if

he is the producer.

He is out of control, no?

Damn!

Calm down, alright?

It's too heavy...

I want to get something clear:

What happened to

Papillo was not my fault.

If he would've done

things right,

we wouldn't be in this situation.

We are not leaving because there's

only one chance to do this right.

What happened was not my fault.

If you say it louder, your

conscience might hear you.

He just needed to turn on

a generator.

Luis, you need to control him.

I know, I understand,

we f***ed up.

Papillo is hurt, didn't you see him?

I know, but it's not my fault.

It happened, and he is not here.

I'm leaving, I don't give

a sh*t about this guy.

The son of b*tch got it running

If you want something done right,

you have to do it yourself.

Well, I know what

happened is not good.

If someone wants to

leave, I understand.

Alright, I'm leaving!

If anyone wants to come...

-Wait? Are you guys staying?

-Yeah, I'll finish this.

-Yeah, I'll stay here too.

-Me too, we got this far.

Don't worry, Lulu will calm him down.

-I know, but this isn't my fault.

This whole mess...

-Yeah, I know.

We'll be alright.

Please calm down, let's go.

Alright, I will stay, but nothing like

this can happen again.

It won't. We'll be alright.

It was good.

-Yeah.

-Did you eat?

-Yeah I did, thanks.

There's no signal.

I can't talk to the hospital

to see how Papillo is doing.

I talked to them a while

ago, he is stable.

Do you guys have power left

in your cell phones?

Mine is charging upstairs.

Guys! There was something chasing me!

There's something outside! I'm not joking!

It's outside, near the stairs!

I heard it following me!

I swear, I'm not joking around!

Oh, yeah, I hear it, it's approaching!
