I Will Follow You Into the Dark Page #4

Kind of a trail

leading to the door.

You should look upstairs too.

We are, we got men up there now.

And did you see the blood as well?

- Yes.

- And how much blood did you see?

The same amount that she did.

Did you guys even look in there?

Yeah, I've looked.

We've looked all over.

Okay.

We scouted the entire apartment.

We checked all of it,

there's no blood anywhere.

What do you mean?

Of course there is.

There was blood all

over here, and on the...

On the door.

There was blood here.

Excuse me, Officer Sowman.

Can I have a word?

Give me a sec, ladies.

Did we leave the door

unlocked when we went up?

I don't know.

Well, we did a thorough check of the

elevator and all of this area...

It's completely vacant.

Nothing suspicious,

no signs of force entry.

Do you ladies...

Drink any alcohol tonight?

You can't be serious.

On any kind of

medication or anything?

No.

Okay.

These things often happen.

Someone gets up in the

middle of the night...

Doesn't tell anybody.

They usually turns out

to be nothing in the end.

- No.

- He was bleeding, officer.

- How long have you known him?

- Long enough.

You're not listening,

we both saw his blood.

You can't tell us that

we didn't see it.

- I understand that.

- Then do something!

I've got zero evidence

and nothing to go on.

You can't be f***ing serious.

Listen, why don't you

just get some rest, okay?

I'm sure he'll be fine.

If he doesn't come up in the

morning, come and file a report.

Wait, that's it?

Until he's gone 24 hours,

nothing else I can do.

This thing has a way of

working themselves out.

I'm sure he'll be okay. Ready?

- Yeah.

- Let's go.

I don't want anything

to do with this.

Besides I don't have any keys.

So I can't help you.

But isn't that part of your job?

It's not.

We're really worried about him.

Anything you could

tell us will help.

I can tell you not to go up there.

Call the police.

I'm not a detective.

We did call the police, they don't

want to come until tomorrow.

- How long have you lived here?

- A year.

A year?

And you haven't heard about

what goes on up there?

What's up there?

- It's infested.

- With what?

People came to die here.

For over a half century.

What do you think?

I went up there once.

When I first got here,

about 30 years ago.

And?

I'm not going up again.

Look, Mr Carter...

All these ghosts stories aside...

Don't you think that maybe there's

just a couple of vagrants up there?

I can't imagine anything last

more than 5 minutes up there.

Top floor is where

they all came to die.

This woman, supposedly was in charged

up there, lived up there for years.

They said she used

to steal patient's.

Put their all belonging in a box.

And do God knows what with them.

Said she was...

Trying to help them.

Pass on.

Ladies.

This building has an ugly history.

Just...

Wait for the police.

How do you do this?

It takes a little patience.

Why did you stop?

I don't know.

Yeah you do.

I think maybe I lost sight

of the beauty around me.

I just didn't feel it anymore.

It keeps coming back to the water.

My dad used to say that the ocean is the

closest we'll ever get on this earth to God.

I think maybe it's just

the shared magnitude of...

I used to go there after my mom

died and tried to capture it.

Maybe I could...

Experience something

she was experiencing.

I want to take you to the ocean.

Who are you again?

I'm Adam.

You can call me Biff.

All the ladies call me Biff.

You better not let go.

I won't.

Promise?

I promise.

Your friends supposed

to be here an hour ago.

Mr Carter's crazy.

You got that too, right?

- You're late.

- Nice to meet you too.

I thought you were

bringing another guy.

Hi, I'm Penny.

- Hey.

- I'm sure it'll be fine, there are 4 of us.

It's gonna be alright.

Sam told me about what happened.

I think it's awful.

- But I can help you guys look.

- Thanks.

Sophia, who's to say...

This guy didn't just skip town.

Maybe he wants you to believe

something happened to him.

That's not what happened, Sam.

I'm just saying.

Why don't the 4 of us go grab some

drinks, see how this thing pans out...

He's gonna come running

back in a few days.

Look, if we just go up there

and look around, we'll find him.

Okay? I promise.

Are you sure we need

all this stuff?

- Yes.

- Alright then.

Is that normal?

It's not usually that bad.

What is happening?

I don't know.

Okay.

What the hell was that?

I don't know, it's a

really old building.

Hello?

Anybody here?

Should we even be here?

You guys said the police investigate

this entire floor right?

So, we'll be fine.

Alright, let's go down here.

Penny, wait here. Tell me if you see

anything. I'm gonna check this room out.

Great, thanks.

Sam?

Sam, I'm gonna go, okay?

Sam?

Are you okay?

No, I don't want to be

here anymore. Okay?

You said we'd be doing

something fun tonight.

And we are not doing

something fun right now.

We're fine, relax.

There's nobody up here.

Sophia's freaking out. We need to stick

around to make sure she's okay, alright?

I'll make it up to you,

10 more minutes. Listen...

You're not gonna believe this.

Some classic originals

are in this room.

Look at this.

What the hell is that?

It's just a record player.

I think we should look somewhere else.

We didn't find anything here.

We need to go down.

Yeah, I'm with Sam on this.

- Let's just look somewhere else.

- No.

- We need to go down.

- Wait, just wait a second.

We haven't even seen anything yet.

Sophia, we shouldn't be up

here, this sh*t is not normal.

Come on, we're leaving.

Sophia.

Okay.

Wait.

Listen.

That sounds like Adam.

That's him, he's up here.

Where's it coming from? Here?

What is this place?

Come on.

You see that?

No.

- Something's there.

- Is that him?

Wait.

What do you see?

Penny!

Penny!

Stop!

Penny!

Sam, where are you?

Penny!

Are you okay? Can you hear me?

Sam, what happened?

- Oh my God.

- We're gonna get you out.

Sh*t.

Are you okay?

I'm okay. Penny, come on.

Guys, we need to get out of here.

- Pull down one of the drapes.

- Okay, wait.

Come on, quickly.

Alright, I've got it. Now pull.

I've got a good foot hold.

Keep pulling.

Penny!

Penny.

Sh*t.

Run!

It's not lighting up.

- Sh*t!

- I don't hear anything in here.

Stairs, where's the stairs?

I don't think there are

stairs in this building.

What?

The landlord told us when we

moved in. There's no stairs.

There's stairs in every building,

we're just have to find them.

Okay, I'll help you carry Penny.

Wait, wait.

I'll come back for her when we find

the stairs. It'll be faster that way.

Okay, let's check the far corners of

the building. That would be our best bet.

Do you really think there's gonna

be stairs at the end of this?

This building's gotta end somewhere.

It's worth looking.

Wait, did you hear that?

Yeah.

Wait, hold on.

What are you doing?

My flashlight keeps going out.

I'm just trying to get some light.
