Eloise Page #2

But you right, I'm still running it.

You know...

Got something hanging

over my head right now.

Like what, some money sh*t?

Come on, man, it's always a money thing.

[JACOB] How much?

20 G's.

20 G's? Holy f***, man,

what were you doing?

F***, I'm in some deep sh*t, man.

Well, look, I might be coming

into some money.

Might be able to help you out.

What, 20 G's worth?

Yeah... more like 1.2 mil.

- Bullshit.

- No bullshit.

You just got 1.2 laying

around the house?

F***ing love my white friends.

Are you serious?

At least that's what I'm hearing

from my father's lawyer anyway.

So, how do you get it?

I have to get this death

certificate for some aunt...

I didn't know I had.

Her name's Genevieve.

Here take a look.

She was locked away in that

mental hospital, Eloise,

right outside Detroit, you know?

Yeah, yeah, that place closed

down like, what, 30 years ago?

It burned down, right?

That's what I thought, man,

but there's still a couple

old buildings there,

just a bunch of files.

All I have do is swing

by there tomorrow, pick it up,

piece of cake.

Yo, I'm happy you're home.

Oh my God!

Yeah, I bet you are.

Bet you are.

All right.

Here you go.

She's beautiful.

That's my aunt.

She looks familiar.

[BAR PATRON] Pia, some shots!

Pia? That's a pretty name.

Hey, what time you got?

Awe, come on, man, you know

I don't carry a watch.

Oh, you don't carry a watch

on you like the one you just

pulled from my father's house?

You profiling motherf***er.

What, you want it back?

Nah... all good, man.

That's you.

Thanks, Anton.

So, when do you get off?

Jacob... good luck finding

that "Last Word" around here.

Happy birthday, Jacob.

Yo, it's good to see you're

still a closer, man.

F*** off!

( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )

Hi, I'm looking for

administrator office.

Hi.... I'm the one who called

about my aunt's records.

Of course, Martin.

Come right in.

Thank you. Right here?

- Yes.

- Okay.

Please have a seat, I'll go find them.

Thank you.

I noticed that painting outside.

What's the deal with that?

[ADMINISTRATOR]

Oh, that's actually young Eloise.

They nicknamed the asylum

after her, when she was a child.

Lucky kid.

Mm... About 7,000 former

residents were officially

buried in the cemetery but

the real number is actually

ten times higher.

This was not very easy to find,

believe me.

But, here you are.

I appreciate it, thank you so much.

You're welcome.

- Bye.

- Bye, bye.

( RINGS BELL )

Uh, yeah, it just says here

that it's been remitted

to the Annex, per Dr. H. H. Greiss.

Oh yes. The Annex is where we

keep all our nonpublic records.

Sealed even to me.

You'll need a court order.

Ah... and uh...

How long will that take?

We could put in the request right now,

we'd hear back in six or seven months...

Hopefully.

Um... yeah, is there any way we

could maybe just, you know,

bend the rules a little bit

on this just once?

Oh no. No, no, no.

But here's what I can do.

Fill this out for you.

J... A...

Oh, Jesus.

Sh*t.

Dammit.

What the f***?

Oh, my God.

Oh, man... Jesus.

Holy sh*t!

Awe, you scared me, man!

Are you okay?

I'm sorry I just, uh... hit your

cart here.

Are you good?

It should be okay.

I didn't bend the wheels or anything.

So... it's all here.

Uh...

I'm gonna get going if you're good.

Um, you know...

no harm, no foul.

Okay, I'm going.

Oh, f***.

Big day, man. Big day.

Okay, I think we celebrate,

which is good news.

Great f***ing news.

Did you get the certificate?

I hate this place, man.

So f***ing depressing.

- Did you get the certificate?

- No, I didn't get it.

Found out the file, has been

moved to some other place

on property in Chita.

Court order to get to.

F***ing Annex sh*t someone tagged.

- How long this will take?

- 6 to 8 months.

- Sh*t!

- Yeah, so...

[JACOB] Just gotta get the court order

and see what happens.

[DELL] You know if

we wait for the courts,

you'll never get a dime, right?

You want that?

Can you imagine what we can

do with that money?

Yo, we could start our lives over.

Sh*t, we could start them.

We have been through some

crazy sh*t, huh?

That's the Jacob I know.

That's the Jacob I know.

Any security in there?

No, not really, to be honest.

So, what are we waiting on?

Look, people break in that

place all the time just for fun.

Yeah but how are we gonna find

the f***ing Annex of all places?

Man, you call me crazy.

I've been doing some research.

Check this out.

Wow.

Scott Carter... this guy's got

blueprints and everything.

We get in, get the file

and get the f*** out.

Yeah... let's do it.

Yo, he lives on Schaefer.

That's right up the street.

Well, dude, let's get

over there, come on.

What are you waiting for?

Call him on the way.

Oh, so now I'm your secretary.

( KNOCKING ON DOOR )

( DOORKNOB RATTLING )

Yo, Scott!

Get the lights to on!

Yo, Scott!?

Scott?

What the f*** is all this weird sh*t?

Holy sh*t.

Scott!

This is ain't right here.

He was expecting us though, right?

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.

You know, maybe this wasn't

a good idea after all.

Yo... Jake?

Look at this.

- Whoa!

- Sh*t!

Really?

- ( GIGGLING )

- Jesus.

What up, man?

So you ain't wearin' no pants.

Jeez. You steal all this stuff?

No... I collected it.

That's a good one, I should

use that one, collected.

You can use anything you want

as long as you return it.

This is Dr. Greiss,

known for his famous

confrontational therapy.

Yes, yes! Oh, do you want

to see my favorite thing?

Doctor, your critics have been

extremely vocal

about this radical, what do you call it?

Confrontational Therapy.

Some liken it to torture.

What do you say about that?

I've heard it all before.

What they fail to realize

is that we need to confront our fears.

Conquer them, not coddle them.

Our deepest fears, the ones that

terrify us the most,

cannot be alleviated by locking

people up and drugging them

into catatonia.

It's our moral imperative

to get to the root of these fears

and destroy them.

Confrontational therapy does this.

Yes, there are side effects,

but there are side effects

with chemotherapy and surgery.

We submit our patients

to their phobic triggers

in a safe environment.

Reprogramming them, so to speak.

Eloise was the biggest asylum

in the world at one time.

It had its own zip code, farm,

fire department, train station.

The first X-ray machine

was developed here,

tested on patients.

Not you, Emma...

Oh, oh, oh, do you want to

hear about the lobotomy craze?

Yo, man, he's touching me.

- Stop.

- Maybe not.

( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )

Hey, man, come on, man, cut

the camera off, dude. Cut the camera!

Look, I took out the IR filter,

so it only shoots infrared.

I've been dying to try this out!

I'm hoping to capture some

ghosts with it.

I just recorded three seconds,

one for each of us.

Good. Three seconds.

Beautiful, buddy.

Hey, Scott. I have

a proposition for you.
