outside the lines, okay?

Meet me at the loading

dock at 10 p.m. Come alone

but bring Stan.

Man I feel more alive

that I've felt in months!

Yeah, me too.

Sure we're not going to

get in trouble for this?

It seems like stealing.

We're going to

be fine. Just chill out.

We just have to get everything

back here by Sunday morning

and we'll be fine.

You guys grab the stuff

in the aisles,

I'm gonna grab the stuff

from the back.

We meet back here at 0400.

Got it.

- We need battery backup.

- Battery back up.

We could use that.

- Make sure we tell Zak.

- Yeah, we'll tell Zak.

Hey man, do you feel

a weird energy in here?

- Like, a heaviness?

- Yeah, I do.

I feel heavy

and sad and tired.

No, no. A presence.

- Did you see that?

- No.

Now keep your eyes open.

There's definitely

something here.

On the ground! Now!

Get on the ground!

Go ahead and shoot me,

that would be great.

Get on the ground!

All the way down.

All the way down.

Put your hands in the air!

Put your hands above you!

Stop being such a douche.

Put your mace away.

Zak? What are you doing?

Are you stealing?

No, a**hole. We're borrowing

equipment, alright? It's cool.

I don't think it's cool.

I don't think you're supposed to do that.

Yeah, no duh!

I think you are supposed to

be watching some monitors

and goofing off.

Alright, I'm calling the cops.

Wait, wait.

No, look, look.

- Ross, right?

- Yes?

I'm Louis and Zak's my nephew.

We're actually putting together

this whole team and we're

looking for someone with

your particular abilities.

You were?

- Yeah.

- Which ones?

Well, you're obviously tough,

and used to dangerous situations

and unknown threats.

And you've got an eye for

noticing suspicious activity

on a security monitor.

Your uncle's pretty observant.

What's it for?

We're um...

We're going

on a paranormal investigation.

Like Ghost Getters?

Yes. Exactly like Ghost Getters.

I've got a season pass. It's

one of my favorite shows.

Ours too!

Look, maybe instead of calling

the cops, you could join

our team for the weekend.

We promise we'll have

everything back by Sunday.

- Right Zak?

- Yeah.

Please join us and also we'll

have everything back.

I should probably just

call the cops.

- Wait Ross, look.

- What?

I know I give you a lot

of crap because you are a mall

cop and your hair looks

like a little girl but,

we need you, okay?

Might get really

hairy out there.

Unlike your legs.

And well, we could

use your help.

Look, we need a bad-ass, Ross.

And until we find one,

you are here.

It's true.

What?

- What'd he say?

- He's fine, he's fine.

Alright, I'll do it.

But only because it sounds like

you guys are going to be

involved in a potentially

dangerous activity and uh...

rather not see civilians

get hurt on my watch.

You're a civilian though,

because that badge is plastic

and you work at a mall.

I'm getting a very

strong impression of a...

couple. A young couple.

This was...

This was definitely their home.

Maybe it still is.

What do you mean?

Maybe, they never left.

It's the only

thing missing you know?

Someone who can communicate

with lost souls who have

crossed over.

She's supposed to be awesome.

Pam used to call her

all the time and

she used to tell her things

no one could possibly know.

Like one time, Pam

called her, she said

"You're gonna have your period".

And then two weeks later, boom.

- That's awesome

- Yeah.

Hey, hey! There she is.

Excuse me? Miss Victoria?

Yeah?

My name is...

Wait.

You probably know that already.

You probably know why

we are here, don't you?

Of course I do.

So?

So?

You in?

In?

I mean, we'd love to

have you come along with us.

Yes, I can see that.

I can also see...

- Money.

- You do?

Yeah. I see money

changing hands.

Compensation for this.

Does it resonate with

either of you?

She maybe means that we'll

probably sell our evidence

or something?

You're amazing.

So?

Is that a yes?

It is.

Oh, great! Let me tell

you the details.

Wait. I'm sorry. I'm still

getting used to this.

- You already know.

- I do.

Well then it's all set.

This is incredible.

Look, I've got a pen.

Why don't you write the details

on a piece of paper. You got

a piece of paper?

And show this to noone!

Do you understand?

Show this to noone.

Say nothing to anyone, ever.

Those are the rules, you got it?

Now read it out loud.

Okay um,

we're meeting at Arnold's

printing copy, on Saturday,

at 11 a.m.

You knew all that, didn't you?

This is unreal.

I don't know what to say.

We are so glad to have you on board.

Take the piece of paper.

Thanks, yeah.

- Whoa well, we'll see you then?

- Mm-hmm

Man, my heart was

beating so fast.

Hello?

Hey.

Can I get a 100 copies of these?

Are these two sets

of eyebrows

for the price of one?

Two eyebrows, ten bucks.

Got it.

Yeah, no problem.

What is this stuff?

Oh uh, it's nothing,

it's just...

Ghosts. Hmm.

I'm sorta into

paranormal investigation.

I used to think

our house was haunted

when I was a kid.

I would hear all these sounds

and footsteps and sometimes

I would here this...

voice of this woman.

So my brother and I went to

all of these sances and sh*t.

Kinda like summon the spirit

and communicate.

We'd take to take polaroid

pictures of each other and try

to see if you saw anybody

in the background.

Yeah, we loved it.

And?

Well, it turns out my dad was

porking his secretary

in our game room.

Oh.

Yeah.

But I swear it really

did sound like a ghost.

She was a moaner.

Yeah. That was disgusting.

Yeah, you probably wish

it was a ghost.

Yeah.

Um...

Would you ever want

to come with us?

Ghost hunting?

Yeah, I mean...

You've got way more experience

than most of us.

We can always use someone to

do some research on the place,

look into it's history.

Okay.

Okay.

Stan, come on buddy.

Time to get up.

Got a big day.

Morning, team! We all good?

Yeah, Robocop helped me

carry the equipment.

- I'll see ya next week.

- Yeah, that's normal.

Hey, morning!

- Hey!

- That's called a girl.

Ellie, this is Ross and Zak.

You guys, this is Ellie.

And Victoria! Hey!

Guys, this is Victoria from

Victoria's Visions, you know?

- And Stan.

- Is that him?

Yeah, he's going

through a rough time right now.

Yeah. It was nice to

meet you guys.

- Ellie is our final piece

of the puzzle.

- How?

- What?

- How is she the final

piece of the puzzle?

She's going to be

our researcher.

She's dug up some pretty

interesting stuff

actually, right?

I also do hair and make up.

Oh! So does Ross.

We're burning up some

daylight so let's

load up, people.

I thought we agreed no women

on this trip.

We didn't agree to anything.

They're weak. They are going to

swallow us up and slow us down.

- Okay wait, see...

- Okay, it's your funeral.

Ross, Ross, come here!

How are we supposed to

kill these zombies if we don't

have any shotguns

or sports equipment?
