Thir13en Ghosts

Is it bad tonight?

Bad. That`s one way to describe it.

Insane seems a IittIe more appropriate.

It feeIs Iike he`s breathing down my neck.

It is my professionaI opinion

we shouId get the heII out of here. Now.

Noted.

CIean this pIace up, then Iocate our guests.

I just need to take the edge off.

You know the routine.

I need you cIear-headed.

First things first.

Now, where is he?

Show me where he`s hiding.

Son of a b*tch!

You said he onIy kiIIed nine peopIe.

There are 40 victims here.

Nine when he was aIive.

He`s added a few since then.

Now where is he, Dennis?

AII teams go to aIpha. Bring in the cube!

How did this guy get the name

``The Breaker``? Is he a truck driver?

SimpIe foIkIore.

The IocaI coIor exorcising its demons.

Maybe it`s because he broke his victims

into as many pieces as possibIe.

I hate being rushed.

This one isn`t Iike the others.

-I`II give you a bonus.

-You don`t have that kind of money.

After tonight you`II be surprised.

Now, get to work.

CarefuI, Dennis.

Don`t get too curious.

Son of a b*tch!

How can you justify what you`re doing,

Cyrus? It`s out and out sIavery!

You are persistent, Damon.

And what about you, KaIina?

StiII carrying around

those ridicuIous quicksiIver fIares?

You stiII have that quaint magicaI book?

These aren`t animaIs you`re capturing,

they`re human beings.

They are dead human beings.

Maybe you shouId join Greenpeace.

Throw bIood on oId women`s furs.

Who are you to pIay God?

-PIaying is for chiIdren.

-You`II never puII it off.

Not without the right speIIs.

That, and the thirteenth ghost.

Thirteenth ghost?

Get them out of my sight!

We`ve wasted too much time aIready.

Why did he say thirteenth?

Move the cube into position.

What`s he taIking about, 13 ghosts?

You contracted me for 12 ghosts!

The Breaker is 12!

I`m done after tonight, Cyrus.

Yes. TweIve and then one more.

I thought you were psychic!

That`s not how it works, and you know it!

There`s no time to argue.

ReIease the bait!

What bait? We never needed bait before!

A truck fuII of bIood?

You`ve got to be shitting me.

Oh, boy.

Now...

...power up the cube.

Start transmitting.

Come.

Come.

Come!

HeIp me! HeIp me!

Oh, sh*t!

Put him down!

Cyrus, I hope you`re happy.

You`ve got your tweIve now.

HeIp me! He`s dying!

Hang on, Damon. Somebody heIp!

Damn you, Cyrus!

Somebody heIp me, pIease!

HeIp me. Do something!

Oh, Cyrus.

Oh, God.

-Swing me!

-Come on, Bobby.

Faster, Kathy.

Let me get your arms.

Try to drag me.

You`re the best little brother.

l love you. Let`s go!

l`m going to get you! l`m going to get you!

Look at those two. She`s got him

on the run now, but pretty soon...

...he`s going to be picking her up

and throwing her over his shoulder.

They`re perfect.

Watch them. Watch them.

They really love this place.

l love you.

Surprise!

My heart! My heart!

Happy birthday, Dad!

Happy birthday, Arthur.

Here`s my present, Dad.

We love you. Make a wish.

Blow out the candles.

What did you wish for?

-l love you.

-l love you, too.

What`s that? Why is the smoke alarm on?

l`ll get the kids. Call the fire department.

Dad! Help, Mom!

Get the kids. Get the kids!

Mom! Dad! Help me!

Where`s your mom? Where is she?

l don`t know where Mom is.

Bobby, we have to get out. Oh, my God!

Jean! Jean!

Mom`s still in the house.

We can`t leave her there.

Bobby, go outside. Go wait outside.

You can`t go back in there, sir.

l`m sorry, sir. She didn`t make it.

l should have gone back in.

We are gathered here today,

to honor the memory...

...and life`s work ofJean Kriticos...

...a devoted mother and loving wife...

...who was too quickly taken from this life.

Jean, you will be forever missed,

but never forgotten.

l miss you, Mom.

Why did you have to leave us?

l can`t do this without you.

l don`t want you to go.

Mom, l love you so much.

Please watch over us.

l`ll love you always.

Dad, it`s....

It`s aImost 8:
30.

Shake a Ieg or you`II miss your first cIass.

Today on Death in America:

``Cancer rates are down...

``...but suicide is sky-high.

``We have a speciaI treat for you today.

``A body was found this morning,

decoIopoIated.``

``Decapitated.``

Bobby, find a heaIthier hobby.

Leave me aIone, you guys, I`m recording.

Good morning, everybody.

Something smeIIs interesting.

Dad, they found a guy without a head

behind Dunkin` Donuts.

I Iove Dunkin` Donuts.

Kathy.

Let Maggie make breakfast for once.

That`s why we hired her.

Dad, have you tasted Maggie`s cooking?

Just that one time.

I heard that. HeII, I cook better than you.

We have to try to get aIong here.

Dad, teII Kathy that keeping

a record of death is heaIthy.

Kathy, ``Keeping a record of death

is heaIthy.``

Because she`s being a reaI sIut about it.

Bobby. Don`t caII your sister a sIut.

Thank you, Maggie.

I prefer the term ``b*tch.``

SIuts are girIs with Ioose--

Mr. Edgar AIIan Poe,

did you do your homework?

Because Mr. Peterson--

Damn it! Bobby, that`s the third time

I`ve tripped on that stupid scooter!

-Sorry.

-If we had a bigger pIace, we wouIdn`t--

We don`t have a big pIace anymore, do we?

It`s the best I can do for now...

...so Iet`s aII try and keep our sh*t

off the fIoor.

AII right? Now, Bobby,

put away the damn tape recorder.

Can you do that for me?

And get ready for schooI.

I`m sorry, Dad.

Must be the Iawyer. I forgot.

Lawyer? I thought our credit

was aII cIeaned up.

No, I don`t think it`s about that.

They won`t make us move again, wiII they?

It`s gonna be aII right.

Whatever it is, we`II deaI with it.

Mr. Kriticos?

That`s right. You are?

Ben Moss. How do you do?

PIease, come in.

Is now a good time, or...?

As good a time as any.

PIease, just give me one minute.

Sorry. I`m ready.

I represent the estate of your uncIe

Cyrus Kriticos.

We have an UncIe Cyrus?

Had. I onIy met him a coupIe of times

as a kid.

He wasn`t too popuIar.

My dad said

he squandered the famiIy fortune.

We have a famiIy fortune?

No. Cyrus squandered it.

Bobby, isn`t that great?

You have a Iate uncIe.

-What is he Iate for?

-His next birthday.

You mean, he`s dead?

-Now we get his attention.

-Pipe down.

Cyrus recorded this message

six weeks ago.

He asked that it be pIayed for you

in the event of his death.

Arthur...

...it`s good to talk to you.

Sadly, if you`re watching this now,

it means l am no longer among the living.

Happily, that makes you and your family

my sole beneficiaries.

l`ve instructed my lawyer, Mr. Moss...

...to deliver the essential elements

in my last will and testament.

Give it to them, Ben.

A key?

A key to what?

A key to your new house.

What?

This house is the fruit of my life`s work.

Bathrooms.

Everyone gets their own bathroom.

Is this for reaI?

lt is a one-of-a-kind home.

lt`s my home, actually.

My home.

l have no complaints.

l`ve led an interesting life.

l have seen some amazing things.

But the only regret l have, is that

l never got to know my nephew Arthur...
