Gabby!

Wake up!

Do you feel it... how close you are?

Feel how alive your heart is.

You ever wonder how much

a human heart can take?

Mommy?

Come on, man. What are you doing?

Give me that. Give me that. Come on.

There's more news on the Night Stalker.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

They got him. They got him.

There was a car chase, shoot out.

What about the house?

It's all boarded up,

it's a crime scene for God's sake.

Did you go in?

No, I mean...

I snuck through the grounds but I couldn't.

It was all sealed up.

We've got to find out

what happened to our machine.

It's still there. It's still there. The police

probably didn't know what to make of it.

We have to go back.

What?

No, no, there's patrol cars there

every night, we can't go back.

We have to get the machine up and running!

No, your wife and daughter

just died in that place.

That's exactly why we have to go back!

Neil, we built the machine

to capture ghosts, alright?

If there was ever a reason to use

that goddamned machine, now is the time!

I don't want their spirits flying around

in that house for a second longer!

Yeah, I got the call from him too.

You on your way there now?

We've been driving about an hour.

Has Henry said how he's doing?

I think it's too early for him

to let it all sink in.

He's dealing with it the only way he can.

Yeah. That's why I'm coming.

- Alright, I'll see you soon.

- See you soon.

We should be getting there

around nightfall.

I'm just glad you're finally

letting me come along.

I know you've been busy with your work,

but I think I can really be help.

Yeah.

I just want to make sure

that you give Henry his space.

Just observe. Everything is really

sensitive now with this situation.

Hey. I can be compassionate too.

Hi.

Neil.

- How you holding up?

- Good.

I'm glad you're here.

- Seen Henry yet?

- Not since I called him.

Henry's dealing with it as Henry does.

And who's this?

Neil, this is Devon. Devon, Neil.

- The Devon. I've heard so much about you.

- Nice to meet you.

And this is my girlfriend, Amy.

Jessica, Devon.

Hey. It's so nice to finally meet you.

It's okay, guys, I checked inside,

it's clean and... Who's this?

Henry, this is my girlfriend, Amy.

You remember the reporter that I met?

Neil... this is no time to turn this

into some sort of a media circus.

- We're doing really dangerous work...

- I'm freelance. This will all be private.

I thought she could do a piece for us,

alright? If this is successful this time,

we're going to need somebody

to report on it, objectively.

You said yourself from the beginning,

we're trying to change the world...

Honestly, I could use someone that

could talk about my work in lay terms.

A reporter on our side

is gonna change lives.

Alright.

No stories on Martha or Gabby, okay?

Stay focused on the work at hand.

Henry, you remember Devon?

Devon.

You ready?

Alright. I got here early.

There's equipment upstairs already, okay?

Let me help you with that.

No thanks, I've got my own.

So do the lights not work

anymore in this place?

I prefer to use our portable power. Okay?

Wiring in here sets the EMF

all over the place.

And I can't get a good read.

So you're saying that a spike

in the electromagnetic field

means that there's ghosts around?

Well, almost.

Ghosts and spirits are a form of energy,

so a spike in the EMF meter

can indicate a presence.

We just have better data

to back up our claims.

Yeah, like holding a seance.

Do you think that perhaps these high EMFs

could be the cause of paranoia

or hallucinations

that would make one 'think'

that they're seeing ghosts?

There have been some claims.

But...

when you see what we're doing,

you'll know it's no hallucination.

Upstairs.

- Is there where he found her?

- Yeah.

So you guys were working

in an active serial killer site?

We figured since the cops

were onto it, we'd go on the run.

So we set our experiments

here in the house.

We didn't anticipate that he'd return.

Well, he ain't gonna return this time.

Can we go up?

That's the only place to go. The attic,

that's where we set up base camp.

So these are the rooms

where we'll be searching for ghosts.

Well, hopefully with the high energy

surrounding this place we'll find something.

Just one of his many rooms.

Hey, are you okay?

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Thought of Martha and Gabby.

In there.

Yeah, yeah. I know. I know.

Why don't you stay

out of here for a bit, okay?

You good?

What is it?

- What is it?

- I...

I thought I felt something.

You can feel the sadness in this place.

It's the residual memories.

All the dark energy surrounding it.

Stains even the walls.

Come on. Let's go up to the attic.

What is this thing?

This is what we've been working on.

I designed it.

Neil here built it.

Jessica is in charge

of all the programming for it.

- It's the only one of its kind.

- It's a machine designed to capture ghosts

and generate ectoplasm out of them.

- Wait? Like the one Robert Bess invented?

- This is my design.

Do you mind if I record this

for my article?

And can you try explaining

how all this works?

Or at the very least,

what else needs to be done.

Well...

A general idea

is that the containment chamber

is able to analyze its surroundings

for haunted activity.

Since all ghosts have

their own magnetic properties,

it has to be a specific inverse

electric magnetic charge.

And this is where

the problematic part comes in.

Now, once the ghost has been captured,

this machine is supposed to convert

electromagnetic energy

into ectoplasm.

Sorry, can you repeat the last part?

You're creating ectoplasm.

That's what we're trying to do.

In theory we discovered that...

every ectoplasm

has its own unique quality.

Kind of like a ghost DNA.

Each one of them is unique

in its own right, okay?

Hypothetically, this machine should be able

to tell us everything we need to know

about where the ectoplasm came from,

and who it was when it was living.

You think you can identify

beings with ectoplasm?

That's the only way we're going

to find out if it's Martha and Gabby.

I have to know that it's them.

Only then can we consider

our work here a success.

Yeah.

Let's get back to work then.

- Henry, come here.

- What is it?

Hey. What are you doing up here?

Coffee?

Thanks.

So...

What are you making?

Preservation agent.

For?

Ectoplasm...

deteriorates moments upon

being exposed to the elements.

Oxygen, air, something. I don't know.

If we're going to create ectoplasm,

we have to preserve it long enough that

we can run all of our experiments on it.

And it's the only way

that I can identify the ectoplasm

as belonging to Martha and Gabby.

So you're trying to put science

in the paranormal.

Science is merely the discovery

of the unknown.

Just because you don't understand

something, doesn't mean it's paranormal.

Just undiscovered.

So all you need now is to find

the spirits and capture them.
