her, kinda holding her back,

stopping her from

being able to move on.

Time is of the essence, we

should do this right now

if that's okay with

the both of you.

- Ashen, I'm with your

mother and father,

can you come to us?

Speak as loud as you can for us.

Your parents miss you.

Your mother misses you,

your father misses you,

they love you very much.

Karen, call to your

daughter, she needs you.

- I can't.

- You must tell her

to call out to us.

- Ashen.

It's mommy.

I need you to come to us.

- Tell her to

scream as loud as she can.

- She was always very quiet.

- We need to know that

she's here, tell her!

- Ashen, scream for mommy.

Scream real loud.

Daddy and I miss you very much.

- Ashen, it's daddy.

Are you with anyone?

Are you okay, honey?

We can't hear you

ashen, speak louder.

Your mommy can't hear you.

- What is it?

What's wrong?

Ashen, are you hurt?

Is someone?

- Karen.

- Just everyone leave me alone.

- No, no, no David.

Just let her go.

Geoff, I need you to get

to the bedroom hub now.

I heard your daughter,

she said she's being held

downstairs against her will.

I think we have a way that

we can flush this being out

that's holding her there.

- Yeah, but it's

theoretical, I mean...

- why's it theoretical?

- It's dangerous, it

hasn't been done before.

- Cameron, I need you

upstairs to capture it in Ir.

This is the one we've

been waiting for.

David, come with me,

your daughter needs you.

- Geoff, Susan, are you there?

Susan, do you copy?

Over.

C'mon.

Geoff?

Susan?

What the hell?

Karen?

David?

Hey Geoff?

Geoff?

- Wakey, wakey.

You ghost hunters,

quite a group aren't you?

Complete strangers

call you guys up,

and you believe

everything they tell you,

you go right to their

house, spend the night.

No research, no background

checks, nothing.

You guys are idiots.

- How you doing pretty boy?

Sweetheart, not you, him.

- I'd say he's doing

better than the others.

You know, we both actually

thought you were kinda alright.

The other two, nobody will miss.

- Mmm, no.

- But your team, I mean come on.

You guys didn't no

research on this place.

- There were two

murders in this house.

- Two murders, how

do you miss that?

We had so much spooky

crap set up for you guys.

- You would have

really liked it.

Much better than

the special effects

in the videos that you saw.

It's really amazing what people

can do with after effects.

- Or even just

some fishing-line,

few speakers, and

a bunch of morons

that are ready to believe

anything you tell them.

- Daddy, when do I

get to kill someone?

- Aw, come here, babydoll.

- Let me get the camera,

this is her first.

Here you go, come down

right over here, okay?

Let's wait for mommy.

Honey, first off, I

am so proud of you...

- we.

Sorry, we are so proud you.

- Mommy and daddy,

ashen you did such a good job...

- thank you mommy.

- It was great.

Everything, all the

running around and hiding.

- It was fun.

- Are you ready?

- Okay.

- Yeah.

- You know what, let's

do this one together,

what do you think?

- Okay.

- Okay, here.

Hold real tight around my hands.

Good.

What'd we say, Seattle next?

- Uh, yeah!

Seattle, I'm so excited.

- I'm so ready for Seattle.

- Me too.

- Pacific

northwest, it's gorgeous.

- Don't step on Cameron's hand.

- Five,

four,

three,

two,

one.

- That

was anti-climatic.

So what do we do now?

- Now we wait.

It'll be about 90 minutes

until he's in rem sleep.

- Okay, so what's going on now?

- Well, looks like he's asleep.

The first rem sleep is the

shortest, about 10 minutes.

We'll just keep

forwarding to real time

every few seconds til

we catch something.

- So you

fall behind because

of playback speed,

skip ahead to current time,

review again,

instantly fall back, review,

skip ahead again, then review.

- Right, right.

Kind of like paying the

minimum on your credit card.

We can always go back

and review it all later.

But this way we can

try to catch something

while he's sleeping.

What?

- I've never seen that before.

That was moving extremely fast.

Slow down the frame rate.

- Right.

- We don't wanna miss anything.

- Oh my,

I don't believe it,

it's here.

- It was definitely here

at least 15 seconds or so

before you woke up.

- Okay.

Stop right here,

stop right here, go.

Right there.

It's casting a

shadow, which means,

- it has mass.

- It has mass.

Okay, uh, go ahead play

it back, keep going.

Okay, no no, stop right there.

Back it up one frame.

Now go frame by frame.

Go frame by frame.

- Jesus.

That thing could have been

standing right next to me.

- That's it right there.

We need to go ahead and move

to phase two, uh, Nicole

uh, play this

through, skip through

in a real time review,

and see what we get.

Anytime you see a straight

line or a blurred line,

anything that looks

unordinary like that,

let's power up to 8.5.

- 8.5? We haven't tested

the capacity in this place.

And the radiation at 8.5...

- is within the safety

limits, it's fine.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

What radiation?

- The safety limits

if you haven't been

subjecting yourself to it

during the testing phases, yes,

but 8.5?

- What radiation?

- We'll be fine, it's

1/10th of a chest X-ray,

which is gonna dissipate

rapidly from the center

which is 100 times stronger,

which is exactly where

Martin's gonna be at.

Are your cameras rolling still?

- How long is it gonna

take him to fall asleep now?

- Martin's trained himself, so,

if he wants, it won't

take long at all.

Should be quick.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

- This whole thing,

8.5 in untested outlets.

Martin, wake up!

Wake up Martin, wake up!

Jason, do you see anything?

- Where is that thing?

Forget this, man!

C'mon, c'mon!

This door won't open!

It's not even locked,

it's just not budging!

- Wait!

Wait, stop stop stop.

- Do you see anything Jason?

Where is it?!

- I did not sign

up for this, man!

- Stop, stop stop!

- C'mon, get it open!

- Quiet, quiet!

Shut up!

- Give me light, give me

some light on the door!

- I got to go,

I have to get my phone!

- Wait, where are you going!?

- Martin?

Martin, where are you?

Martin?

- Martin?

- Oh god!

- Is he dead?

- He is with me.

He has always been with me.

For we are eternal.

- Let him go!

- You do not command me.

I am no simple flesh eating

ghoul from your pathetic realm.

Release me from this spell.

- I, I can't release you,

there's nothing turned on.

You shouldn't be here.

Help me get this thing down!

He's already gone,

we got to leave!

C'mon!

Oh sh*t, oh sh*t!

- He's behind me!

Run!

- I am no

simple flesh eating ghoul

from your pathetic realm.

- Hey, what's up?

- Hey.

- How's the city?

- I saw you were online.

You got a minute?

- Yeah, I'm just

doing some studying.

Everything okay?

- Yeah, everything's

going alright.

I just wanted to

ask you a question

since you're practically
