Nightworld Page #5

the location only

known to the guardian

tasked with protecting

his gate, his doorway.

Now, if,

God forbid,

the dead, they somehow

found a gateway

on the other side,

then they could move

freely between this world

and their Nightworld.

Zahari and the others,

they feared that something,

something else, something

from before the time of man

would find its way through

and into our world,

so they sought to prevent

that from ever happening.

- You don't actually

believe this crap, do you?

Do you know what you sound like?

- This man, this good

man, he was tasked with,

responsible for creating,

designing, crafting the seals

which prevent anything

from crossing over.

He agreed to remain here,

in this very building

to serve as the last guardian,

the keeper of the seventh

and final gateway.

- If he is the guardian

of the last seal,

who are the others?

- Ah, this I do not know.

But, each of the seven guardians

answers to a man named

Pritchard, Isaac Pritchard.

He is the only one

who knows the location

of all the gateways.

- This man, how can

he still be here?

I mean, how can he still be

alive after all this time?

- Zahari, (laughs)

he was an alchemist.

He was able to prolong his

life by unnatural means.

(machines beeping)

- Maria.

- [Zara] Who?

- The cleaner.

She was walking around with a

cart full of medical supplies

the day I got here.

What is she doing with him?

- That is no concern

of ours, Brett.

What you must understand

is this:
Zahari is dying.

Which means that the gateway

beneath us is vulnerable.

What you saw on the

cameras the other day,

I suspect it most likely

means that someone

or something is trying

to force its way through

and into our world.

They know the

gateway is exposed.

So we must act now to stop them

or it will be breached and

we will never be able to.

- Stop who?

Who do we need to stop?

- I must get to

the basement now!

I cannot do this on my own.

- We're not going anywhere

near the basement.

- You must listen to me!

- I'm through listening

to you, Jacob.

I'm gonna go call

Martin and Goran

and then I'm taking you home.

- If you do not do as I ask,

everything you know,

everything you love will end.

(machines beeping)

(phone ringing)

- [Brett] No one's picking up.

(intense dramatic music)

- Rats always leave

the sinking ship.

- [Zara] Are you

going back to Varna?

- No.

I don't know.

Can we not do this right now?

I just think we should

get out of this place

until I figure out what to do.

(door clanks)

- Where did he go?

- Stubborn old bastard.

He has a key.

(slow intense music)

(elevator rumbling)

- What the hell is that?

- Tell me.

What do you see in there?

- Footprints.

Hundreds of them.

Alex?

(bell buzzing)

What the hell is he doing here?

Do not let him go in there!

(bell buzzing)

Alex?

What are you doing here?

- Good to see you, too, buddy.

- How did you get

through the front gate?

- That gate was opened and

I just kind of walked in.

And where the f***

have you been?

- I've been here.

Come in.

I need to get something.

- Okay, if you've been

here this whole time,

then how come I

haven't been able

to get a hold of

you for five days?

- You're screwing

with me, right?

- Yeah, I'm screwing with you.

Come on, man, you know me.

You think I'd hop on a bus

and take a six hour road trip

to Sofia just to screw with you?

- Yeah, but you and

I talked yesterday.

- Oh, no, we didn't.

- Jacob will know

what's going on.

Just come with me.

- What's going on, man?

You're freaking me out.

Okay, you want me

to go just say so.

Brett?

Hey, what's the gun for, man?

(slow ominous music)

You want to tell me

what's been going on

these past five days?

- It hasn't been five days.

I need to talk to Jacob first.

- Who's this Jacob guy

you keep bringing up?

(electrical arcing)

Hey!

Are you sure this thing's safe?

- [Zara] What's happening?

- Zara, when you

came over earlier

you said I haven't been

answering my phone.

- [Zara] Yes, why?

- [Brett] Why did

you ask me that?

When was the last time we

saw each other or spoke?

- Uh, four, five days ago.

I thought you were blowing

me off, that's why I came.

I don't know.

- Jacob, what the

hell is going on?

How can I lose five days?

How is that possible?

I remember talking

to Alex yesterday.

And then I remember seeing

you and Martin and Goran.

And now this.

How could I lose five days?

How could anyone lose five days?

- In the Nightworld,

the concept of time,

it has no place, no meaning.

It simply ceases to--

- What's he talking about?

(distant whispering)

- [Jacob] What is it?

- What was that?

- I can't make anything out.

- [Jacob] We need to go inside.

Now!

- Inside where?

- My friend, you take this.

You'll need it in there.

- What is it?

- It works in there.

- I'm good.

What do we do when

we get in there?

How do we stop this?

- We must seal the breach.

Before it becomes completely

unstable and it's too late.

- Too late for what?

- How do we seal it?

- I possess the key.

I can guide you.

- Okay.

Look, you two stay here.

- Someone please tell me what

the f***'s going on here!

- Just, please.

Stay here with her!

(electrical arcing)

(deep rumbling)

- Now what?

- Look, you two just stay here!

Jacob, come on, let's go.

- No, man, I'm going with you.

- [Zara] I'm going, too.

- Fine.

We'll al go, but

we stick together.

Get him.

(slow ominous music)

(machines beeping)

Jacob, these symbols,

what do they mean?

- They are the seals.

Glyphs.

The protection symbols.

- Protection from what?

- The dead.

Only those from the

land of the living

can unlock this door

from both sides.

(door rumbling)

(door slams)

- [Zara] Brett!

- It's okay.

It's supposed to do that,

we're not locked in.

Jacob, what are we

looking for down here?

- We need to go further

into this hangar.

- [Brett] How much further?

- Further.

(machines beeping)

(slow ominous music)

- [Alex] This place is huge.

How are we supposed to

find anything in here?

- [Brett] Jacob, I need you

to be straight with

me about something.

There was an incident that

happened a few years back.

With the twin sisters.

You were working here

when that happened, right?

- Yes, I remember.

- So why this place?

Why here?

- The father of those children,

he believed absolutely

that this building

held the power to

bring them back.

- Bring them back from where?

- The dead, of course.

- I see.

Sir, you're f***ing crazy.

But you know that, don't you?

(machines beeping)

(slow ominous music)

(alarm sounding)

- [Evil Spirit] I see you.

(Jacob gasping)

- [Zara] What's wrong?

- Yeah, what's wrong, Jacob?

- The guardian.

- Zahari?

- He is gone.

(alarm sounding)

- [Jacob] Go, go, go, go.

They're coming.

- [Alex] Who is coming?

- [Jacob] The dead, you idiot!

- [Alex] Of course,

who else could it be?

Tell me you're not

buying this bullshit.
