The Task of the Translator Page #2

The power's going down,

but the backup should've

kicked in by now.

Sh*t!

Hurry!

It's a weird glitch,

huh?

Careful!

Left!

Here we are.

Cool.

We're here.

Damn, it's cold in here.

Look, key.

Hell yeah.

Okay.

Hey, guys, look.

Yeah, come on.

Cool.

All right, you.

Who's that?

I guess

it's the Warden.

Get this one.

Yeah, my turn.

Okay, yeah.

Wow. Cool map.

Hey,

check this out.

What you got, man?

"Greetings, brave contestants.

"That would be me.

"Welcome to Warden Clem

Harvis' personal office.

"In the center of

the room is a box.

"You are to take turns

reaching in the box

"to retrieve

a single chess piece.

"This chess piece will determine

your own personal symbol.

"You cannot trade with any

of the other contestants.

"Legend has it that

the Warden used to put

"a little surprise in the box.

"Razor blades were

a personal favorite. "

Okay, now that's...

That's sick, man.

"Now, it's your turn to put

your hand in the box. "

Sh*t.

So, who wants to go first?

Me.

What the hell is going on?

I don't know.

What do you mean

you don't know?

I mean, I don't know.

I didn't put anything in the box.

Just the chess pieces.

Seriously?

You should have

seen all of your faces.

She's funny, man.

Not cool, man.

Not cool.

Silly b*tch.

Not cool.

Bishop. Yeah.

Black king.

Black rook.

White knight.

White queen.

Hey, look.

Aw!

Holy sh*t!

Okay, that is

really f***ing creepy.

Welcome, my little

piggies, to The Task.

Now, for a little history

of Pennyville State Prison.

In 1931, with the climbing

budgets during the Depression,

the cold blooded Warden thought he

could keep his fortune on track

by eliminating

certain overhead costs.

His inmates!

Eventually

the Warden was exposed,

but not before having

executed 85 inmates!

The last person to be served

a death sentence here

was Warden Harvis himself.

To this day, it is on record

that his last words were,

"My work here

is not yet done!"

Rumor has it that the Warden

still roams the halls.

Tonight, you will be asked to go

face to face with the Warden,

and the tortured souls that still

inhabit the building you are now in.

Task one. White Queen.

Try not to die!

Does anybody want to trade?

Hell no!

Well, I don't get it.

What's my task?

Okay.

"The White Queen will got to the

prison chapel to complete his task.

"The other contestants will

instruct him how to get there,

"by using the radio headsets

"and the map found on the wall

"in the Warden's office.

"Once there, you'll receive

further instructions. "

My greatest fear

would have to be...

Anything to do with

all things religious.

Okay.

Can you hear me?

Yeah, where are you?

Still in the first hallway.

Okay. It says

to go straight

and take the first

opening on your left.

Nice job with the sound.

Hey, thanks.

Oh, sh*t.

What?

They turned my torch off.

I can't see a damn thing.

Okay,

take it easy, Randall.

Now, make a right

and go straight.

There's babies hanging!

Children's...

I imagine they have the place

wired for audio input.

Audio being more profound in tapping

into our primal fears than sight.

Is that right?

Yeah.

Okay.

"Continue forward

and there should be

"a corridor off to your right.

"Pennyville Chapel's

located in the same wing

"as the death row jail cells.

"It is in this chapel that

many convicts would visit,

"as they made their way down

"to their final moments

in the gas chamber.

"It is also the place where Warden

Harvis had many prisoners tortured

"just before

putting them to death. "

God!

Sounds like

a real sweetie.

No, I'm good, man.

"The task at hand

is to get to the chapel

"and light a candle for the

souls who died there. "

Freaking stoner.

"Continue forward

"and there should be a large

wooden door to your right. "

Did you hear that?

What?

I don't know.

It was a sound.

Okay, I... I think someone's

in the room with me.

They're using

speakers, Randall.

Seriously.

Okay.

Oh, my...

Ooh.

Nice set.

Okay, I'm at the altar,

but I don't see anything

to light the candle with.

Okay, never mind.

Now what?

They want you to

turn off your flash light.

Oh. No way. There's no way in

hell that I'm turning off...

Okay, now what?

"Open the Bible

to the marked page

"where you'll find

the Lord's Prayer.

"Having been

desecrated 75 years ago,

"this once holy place is a likely

hotspot of paranormal activity. "

Yeah, okay. I got it.

"You are to call upon the dark

spirit of the Warden Harvis

"by reading

the Lord's prayer... "

Oh, my. "In reverse. "

No way.

Oh, hell no, man.

Don't do that sh*t.

Uh-uh.

I can't...

I can't do that.

That's total Satan stuff.

I can't...

"Once your task is completed

"if there is no sign

of the Warden,

"you can return

to base camp. "

Just... Just read it

and come back.

Yeah. Deep breath,

Randall.

Just do it.

Please forgive me, whoever

I may be pissing off.

This wasn't my idea.

Okay.

"Evil from us deliver

"Our

Father who art in heaven...

"but temptation

into not us lead.

"... Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done.

"On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day...

"And us against trespass

"who those forgive we as

trespasses our us forgive.

"And bread daily

our day this us give.

"Heaven in is it

"as earth on done be will thy,

"come Kingdom thy.

Name thy be hallowed.

"Heaven in art

who Father our. "

Please say I can leave now.

"Before you head

to the base camp... "

God, Randall, you have

to blow out the candle.

Bloody hell.

You're joking, right?

And sit there

for one minute.

The things I do for money.

Where'd he go?

It would be my estimation that the

production has cut off our ability

to communicate with

our homosexual friend

in order to create a more

terrifying atmosphere.

Whatever.

Hey. We're just finishing

up the first task.

Sure,

like clockwork.

Guys?

I think we got

some really good stuff.

Yeah. You, too.

Guys?

Guys? Guys!

Randall?

Oh. Hey.

Do you see anyone?

No.

Okay, task completed.

Return to base.

If I knew ahead of time that

it was gonna be that scary,

I would never have done it.

Come on, dude, it couldn't

have been that bad.

Totally not worth the money.

But having done it, it was

totally worth the money.

Oh, thank God I'm finished.

Look at me, I'm still shaking.

I don't think I could

handle doing it again.

You never know.

They might ask you to do another one.

Don't joke.

I swear you can feel some kind

of twisted vibe out there.

It's like walking

through heavy fog,

only it's ice cold.

It was creepy.

Is it me, or is it

getting colder in here?

Yeah, she's right.

I want to go next.

What exactly

do you mean,

"There are some cameras down"?

What do you want me to say?

I'm sorry, but this is

pretty complicated stuff.

We'll get Scelzi to go down

and have a look and fix them.

Unbelievable.

Get it done and pause the game.

Scelzi.

Scelzi?

Can you hear me?

Yeah.

Yeah, I need you to go down
