March you down to Lone Rock,

said to look into that hole

Very last word the captain

say, you better get your coal

Oh, buddy, won't

you roll down the line

Buddy, won't you

roll down the line

The outbreak cannot be stopped.

Evacuate from

Tasmania at all costs.

From Maria Island.

We're going through

hell, just rescue us.

Way back yonder in Tennessee,

they leased the convicts out

They worked 'em in the coal

mines against free labor stout

Free labor rebelled against

it, to win it took some time

But while the

lease was in effect

They made 'em rise and shine

Oh, buddy, won't

you roll down the line

Buddy, won't you

roll down the line

Yonder come my darlin',

comin' down the line

Buddy, won't you

roll down the line

Buddy, won't you

roll down the line

Yonder come my darlin',

comin' down the line

Every Monday morning

they've got 'em out on time

Brian, uh it's Molly.

I've been trying to

call you all night.

Why won't you just pick

up your goddamn phone

To?

Hey, in the bathtub.

You know I wanna tell

you there's no point,

But Dad was drunk-driving

and something,

Something just went wrong.

And now both of our

parents, they're dead.

No, please, please!

I just, I need one minute!

Okay, I don't know

what to do here.

They're trying to

take them away.

I really need your help.

When I got here,

Mom was still alive.

Maybe she with...

No please, I just need,

I just need one minute.

Brian...

I need you!

And I don't know how

I'm gonna tell Sam

Any of this.

He really looks up to you.

We need you,.

I have to go.

Please help me.

March you down to Lone Rock

Said to look into that hole

Very last word the captain

say you better get your coal

Oh, buddy, won't

you roll down the line

Buddy, won't you

roll down the line

Yonder come my darlin',

comin' down the line

Buddy, won't you

roll down the line

Buddy, won't you

roll down the line

Yonder come my darlin',

comin' down the line

January 29th.

I have one week

left to find Sam,

But I still need to

cross eight kilometers

Of ocean to get him.

Now if I'm going

into enemy territory,

I need to find a way to stop

Whatever these things are

if I come into contact

With one again.

They seem to

communicate in some way

With ghost radio waves,

some sort of infra-sound.

Somehow the radios

can pick it up.

Let's say they're

ghosts like Sam claims.

But what are ghosts, really,

Scientifically, no fantasy.

What are all people

at their core?

Energy.

And how do you destroy something

That can neither be

created nor destroyed?

You destroy its power source.

Destroy what it feeds off of.

Sam claimed electricity

attracted them

Or even responded to them.

So what do we do?

We turn off the lights.

An electromagnetic pulse.

Oh I'm going down

that road feeling bad

Oh I'm going down

that road feeling bad

Oh I'm going down

that road feeling bad

And I ain't gonna

be treated this way

All right come on you bastards.

There we go.

You wanna see Sam,

I know you do Brian.

I can smell you.

You're coming back home

with your brother, Brian.

That's right you son

of a b*tch, over here.

You cannot run from me Brian.

Brian, guess who's back?

Almost...

I know you're up here, Brian.

I'm coming Brian.

Almost...

Your soul is mine, Brian!

Now!

January 30th.

If I don't make it back,

Whoever finds this,

EMP is how you stop them.

It seems to send them back

To wherever they come from.

Hope trumps fear, Sam.

I'm coming.

This outbreak cannot be stopped.

Evacuate from

Tasmania at all costs.

I must warn anyone

who hears this.

Stay away from Maria Island.

Something is here.

We have accidentally

opened something.

Okay, do not try and rescue us.

I must warn anyone

who hears this.

Stay away from Maria Island.

Something is here.

We have accidentally

opened something.

Okay, do not try and rescue us.

There is no escape.

Help yourselves and

evacuate from Tasmania

At all costs.

January 31st.

I've determined that either Sam

Is still somewhere

on this island,

Or he has at least been

here very recently.

This distress call seems

to be getting clearer

The closer I get

to the mountain.

So tomorrow I'm

gonna try to attempt

To hike to the summit and

see if I can find the source

Of the signal.

I think it's what

Sam would've done.

And it's really the only lead

I have at this point, so.

The boat leaves in five days.

Hello again everybody,

We have a special

guest with us tonight,

Brian Everett!

It must feel like

you're on Maria Island,

All dressed up

with nowhere to go.

It's terrible being

invited to a party

When no one's home!

Take it from us folks!

Well you just need patience.

Rest assured, the welcome mat

Has been laid out

too for you, Brian.

Enjoy your home and

see you soon buddy!

Okay do not try and rescue us.

There is no escape.

I must warn anyone

who hears this.

Stay away from Maria Island.

Something is here.

We have accidentally

opened something.

Okay, do not try and rescue us.

There is no escape.

Help yourselves and

evacuate from Tasmania

At all costs.

Go back, Brian.

Don't follow the river.

Sam?!

Go back, Brian.

Sam?

Sam?!

Don't follow the river.

Sam?

Sam?!

Please goddammit no, no!

Come on, Sam come on,

Come on wake up, wake up.

Come on!

Oh no goddammit, come on!

What, no man, come

on, wake up Sam,

Come on wake up, wake up!

One, two, three!

Come on, come on wake up!

One, two, three!

Come on you can't come this far

Just to stop Sam, come on!

One, two, three!

Come on!

One, two, three!

One, two!

What the hell is the point?

Just come and get me a**holes.

Come and get me.

Brian, Brian?

Oh come on, this is

the best you got guys?

Screw you.

Brian it's

me, where the hell are you?

Bullshit it's you.

Oh you're here too?

Yup on Maria Island

like you told me.

No, I told you to stay away

From Maria Island.

There's something

there, a doorway.

A doorway?

And where are you?

On the other side.

I went through.

That's funny because

I'm looking at your

dead body right now.

What?

I just found it lying

here next to the river.

Oh sh*t.

Yeah.

I don't understand.

I'm still alive, I

followed this track

All up the river,

and found a cave.

But there's something

in that cave, Brian.

It's some kind of electrical

doorway to another place.

I think it's where

they came from.

Like an old house.

That's where I am now.

Then why the hell

did you go through it?

I thought I saw our dad.

I wanted to apologize.

Apologize?

Mom is dead.

Dad is dead.

And now you're dead.
