- I really like you too.

No, I mean it. You're just like

the coolest person. I Just...

I Just really feel like we match.

You know, I'd love the fact that

you support me with the website and...

I just love the fact that

you take me seriously.

It means a lot.

You are great.

- Don't you think I'm going a little bit crazy?

- You're not going crazy.

You are great.

I would do anything for you.

- Really?

- Absolutely.

Just... I like you so much.

Hey, I have an idea.

Me too. What's yours?

Let's go to the basement, and find out

what the f***ing ghost problem is.

Okay.

That's a good omen.

Turn the recorder on.

What was that?

I tripped.

Sorry.

It's just the lighting.

- A spider web.

- Follow me.

I'm starting to think we should

have brought breadcrumbs.

Hang on.

Hear something.

It's weird. You're static.

- I heard that too the other night.

- Must be a bad cable.

No, it's her.

This way.

This is it.

This is where they hid her body.

Are you ready?

We wish to speak to the spirit

of Madeline O'Malley.

If you're here with us,

give us a sign.

Make noise if you can hear us.

Why do you stay here, Madeline?

Why did your spirit never rest?

Madeline, give us a sign.

Did you feel that?

It's her.

- That was the wind.

- No, she is with us right now.

Madeline, speak to us.

We wish you no harm.

Why do you stay here?

Why did your spirit never rest?

Wait, no. Madeline, we know that you are

here with us right now. Speak to us.

I can hear her.

Do you hear the whispering?

Madeline?

Holy sh*t.

What?

She's right behind you.

She's coming closer.

Luke!

Luke!

- I gotta get out of here.

- What?

I don't wanna be here anymore.

I don't like this.

What are you talking about?

We just made a physical contact.

Why are you freaking out?

I just don't wanna be here anymore.

That's it.

Why? Was it different from the

other times that you saw her?

- There were no other times.

- What?

I made it up.

I never saw anything.

I made it all up. I don't want

anything to do with this anymore.

This is just too f***ed up.

I gotta go.

Luke!

- Luke, don't go!

- I'm sorry, Claire.

- You can't leave me here.

- I'm really sorry.

What am I gonna do now?

Lee?

Lee!

Lee.

Lee! Lee.

Lee, wake up. I need your help.

Help me.

Lee!

What are you doing in my room?

- Get out of here.

- No. No, please. Plaese. Please.

No, I will not help you.

Please go away.

Come on.

Why should I help you?

So you can make fun of me some more?

You know, I believe in what I do.

And I don't believe in wasting my time

on lonely hotel employees and their

insulting ignorance.

Lee, I'm sorry, okay?

I should have defended you downstairs

and I made a really big mistake, okay?

but I have a problem. I'm scared, I'm alone,

and Madeline made contact with me,

and I don't know what else to do, okay?

I don't know what else to do!

- Is there anymore vodka over there?

- I'll check.

Here, take this one.

Okay.

Take me to where it happened.

Wait here.

Lee! Was it Madeline?

Did you see her?

- Lee, what happened?

- We must get out of this hotel.

You're in great danger.

You can't stay here any longer.

- What?

- I have to go get dressed.

Go get your things.

Trust me.

Oh, no.

Lee! I forgot something.

I'll meet you in the lobby.

Sir?

Sir?

Sir, I'm sorry that

I'm disturbing you, but...

there has been an emergency and I have

to leave the hotel for a little bit.

Sir, can you hear me in there?

MY DARLING, THIS IS WHERE OUR

LIFE BEGAN. NOW THAT YOU ARE GONE,

THIS IS WHERE I WANT MINE TO END.

Sir?

Holy sh*t!

- Luke? What are you doing here?

- I'm sorry.

I should have not left you like that.

- Please don't be mad at me.

- No no no, listen.

- We need to get out of here right now.

- No no no, Claire...

- I have to tell you something.

- No! Listen to me, okay?

- Remember that old man upstairs?

- Yeah!

- Yes, so what?

- He's dead. He killed himself. He's dead.

- What?

- Yeah, he's dead.

- Did you call the police?

- No, not yet.

Lee... Lee said that it's no safe to be here

anymore, and we need to leave right now.

- And I saw Madeline...

- Okay, wait, wait a second. Hold on.

Come here. Jesus Christ.

Here, sit down.

It's alright.

His face...

There was blood everywhere.

It's okay.

Please, please, please, just get me out of here.

I don't wanna be here anymore. Please.

- Alright. Okay. Come on, let's go.

- Lee, she's still upstairs.

- Where is she?

- I don't know, she's getting her things.

Alright, I'll go get her, and

you just stay put for a second.

Are you gonna be alright

down here for a minute?

Yeah.

It's fine. It's gonna be okay.

Just hold on.

Claire.

Claire.

Lee, is that you?

Lee?

Lee?

Lee?

I don't wanna go back down there.

Are you down there?

Please, somebody help me!

Luke!

Please!

Somebody help me!

Please!

Please, help me! Please!

Please, no! No, please!

Alright, guys, hold her up.

Hold her up.

Jesus.

Alright, get her out of here.

I was banging on the door

as hard as I could.

I could hear her screaming.

I was screaming for her

to open up, but she wouldn't.

She called my name, but I wasn't

strong enough to break it down.

This was at the bottom of the stairs.

Alright, listen to me.

I need you to come with us,

and answer some questions

about the gentleman upstairs.

And help getting contact with

her family. Can you do that?

- Yeah, I just gotta get my stuff.

- Okay.

You think you can tell the actress to hurry up

when you're in there? We need her too.

Yeah.

Oh, listen...

Are you sure you gave me all the names

and numbers of the other guests?

Nobody I might be forgetting?

No, I gave you everything. There was

just the other woman with her kid and...

Ron the owner, but he doesn't get back

from Barbados till tomorrow.

Alright, thanks.

What are you doing in here?

They're looking for you downstairs,

I said I'd find you.

We have to go to the police station

and answer to some more questions.

Did you hear me?

I said we have to go.

You knew this was gonna

happen, didn't you?

You could have done something.

No. There's nothing anyone

could have done.

They're looking for you downstairs.
