You don't know these people.|This is how they work.

They use each other's nasty|little secrets against themselves.

Wait. If you changed|your mind, if you decided...

...to run, I could help|you. M-My family...

M- My family|could help you.

I can't live like that.

I need you to promise|me something. What?

No matter what happens, you don't|get involved. No, I can't do that.

- Please.|- No, you got me involved. I'm involved.

- I can't move forward if|I think you're in danger.

I'm gonna be there for you.

- Do you understand what|these people are capable of?

I do understand.

- These people will kill you.|- I'm in love with you.

If I could have|I am.

Just a feel of you|I love you.

Would you leave your door...

Ajar...

If I could have...

Just a part of you...

Let me drink of your tides...

Oh, baby, the rain runs over|and you're scared...

With no consequence...

To be the liquid in a glass that|falls around your lips and mouth...

Ow!

Aah!

Okay. You got me. Whoa,|whoa. Hey. Shut up!

Hey, there's no need|for the gun. Come on.

- Give me the tape.|- I got your tape. It's right here.

It's right here. Just come and|get it, man. Come and get it.

- Bring it to me.|- Come on. It's right here.

Come on! Come on!|Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Come on! Let's go!

Let's go! Go!|Go, go, go!

Nice plan, Lukie.

Okay, here we go.

There he is.|You stole my key!

You stole my book!|I want your camera...

...the tape|and my stuff back now!

Here's the key.|We'll get the book later.

No, you give me the key,|we'll go get the book.

You won't say anything|to anybody.

I won't say anything to|anybody, and nothing'll happen.

Get off me!

- No!|- Oh, my God.

Oh, God! No!

No! Oh, God!

Oh, God!

Dad! You have to|listen to me!

No, you have to listen to|me now! Something happened!

Dad, I just killed a guy|in the ritual room!

Dad, I should call the police!

No, I have to call 9-1-1!

I can't just leave him here!

Yes, I understand!

I understand! All right!|All right, I'm leaving!

Luke. Oh, my God.|Wait. He's moving.

- He's mov... Look, he's moving.|- Jesus, he's still alive.

Yeah. Totally.

Did you see his arm? Yeah.|Fast-forward the tape.

Wait. Hold on, hold on.

Can you go close up|on the lower right hand?

Help me.

Luke, who are they?|Who are they?

That's Martin Lombard...

...the university provost.

He's pretty far gone, sir.

- Who is he talking to?|- It could only be Mandrake.

Will do. Done.|Can you get any closer on this?

- Yeah.|Lombard works for Mandrake.

Closer.

Closer.

Oh, my God.

They killed him.

They killed him.

What are you gonna do?

Luke, we were just|talking about you.

What are you doing here?

- I'm sorry, Luke, but I|couldn't live with myself.

- I had to tell them what you did.|- What I did?

Everything you told me... How you|and Will had a fight, the accident...

...and how you covered it up|to make it look like a suicide.

He's lying to you, Detective.

- I'm not lying. I have|nothing to lie about.

I have evidence, okay? Everything you wanted|to know... The truth... it's on the tape.

Mr. Mandrake, we have your|statement. We'll talk to you later.

Keep Mr. McNamara company.

Get something to play this tape|on, and call the D.A.'s office.

I want somebody|down here now.

I haven't seen so much snow|since my last ski trip.

I'm telling you, this is|the tape. It's on here.

It's a split-screen thing. There's|four different cameras running.

It's gotta be forward.

I don't... It was...|Wh...

Oh, great.

You... You switched|the goddamn tape!

Come on. Tell us what you|imagined was on that tape.

Why'd you do it? What do they have|on you? Why are you working for them?

- "Them"? Who?|- The Skulls! The Skulls!

The Skulls, man! Who do you think|is pulling the strings around here?

They're watching you. They're|watching me. They control everything!

They control everything we do,|including him! Even him!

I've heard about enough.

All right. Whoa. Hey. You|guys stay back. Keep them back.

Hey! Hey! Hey! You've|gotta listen. Listen!

Martin Lombard|killed my roommate.

- Martin Lombard, the university's provost?|- That's what was on the tape!

Yes, he snapped Will Beckford's|neck, for Christ's sakes!

He snapped Will|Beckford's neck! Oh, I see.

- The suicide thing was just|a cover-up. - Martin Lombard?

- Yes, and he's in on it!|- Why did Martin Lombard kill your roommate?

Because Litten Mandrake|told him to.

Oh. Judge Litten Mandrake?|Yes.

Judge Litten Mandrake. He runs|the whole show. That's ridiculous.

- It's the truth! You're working for him!|- It's ridiculous!

Listen, please.|You gotta believe me.

Listen,|he's in on it, okay?

I'm innocent here. I'm|telling you the truth! Hey!

I'm telling you the truth.

I'm telling you the tr...

You son of a b*tch! How|could you do this to me?

Get off me!

What do they got on you?|Huh? Huh? Aah!

Get him out of here!

What do they got on you?|How'd they get to you?

Listen to me! I'm|innocent! I'm innocent!

What are you doing here?

I saw the tape, Caleb.

What tape? What are you|talking about? Caleb, come on.

Luke is in a mental hospital.|They may never let him out.

Please, help me.

Just tell the police|the truth. Please.

I think you better go.

Hey, Caleb, before I go,|one last thing.

The most interesting thing on that|tape was when you left the building.

Will Beckford,|he wasn't dead.

Ow! Ow! Oww!

Help!

Hey! What happened?

Miss Whitfield?

- Miss Whitfield,|we need to speak to you.

Miss Whit...

Where is she?

Get in, Chloe. I'll take you to|Luke. I will. I'll take you to Luke.

Come on. Let's go.

There he is, Senator,|in the solarium.

Luke.

Luke!

Luke. Luke.

Luke, it's me.|It's me.

Help me now!|Just...

It's gonna be okay.|I'm gonna get you out of here.

I'm gonna get you...|It's gonna be okay.

I'm gonna take care|of you, okay?

It's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay.

I've arranged|this car for you.

Wait. Wait. Where do|we go? What do we do?

Now, you must remind him that there|is only one solution to all this.

"We live by the rules.|We die by the rules. "

I- I... Please, I don't know|what you mean. He'll know.

Now go.

Yeah.

I'm leaving the hospital.|They're all yours.

You're gonna be okay, okay?

Let's fix you.

You're gonna be okay, 'cause you're|out of there. You're not going back.

Everything's gonna be okay,|you hear me?

Oh! Luke. Luke.

Oh! Oh, my God!

Oh, Luke.

Son of a b*tch!

Whoo!

Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t!

Hang on. Luke, hang on.

Oh, no!

Oh, God!|Sh*t, no! Sh*t!

Come on.

Get off of him!

Oh!

No. No.

No!

I've been following you|since the hospital.

- That's what the senator wanted.|- I don't understand.

The senator has great faith that if you|think it through, you'll figure it out.

The sen... You work|for Senator Levritt?

Just get in the jeep|and get out of here.

Did you see|what was on that tape?

Don't ask me questions.|I've given you answers.

Now go.

Thanks.

We've got to figure out what to do|next, because they're gonna find us.

Okay.
