You're just not gonna

be able to see them.

I don't know,

maybe that's better.

Well, I guess.

Oh, sh*t!

Um, I don't want to alarm you

right now,

But there's a f***ing creepy

dude standing right behind you.

I know.

I can hear him.

- Do you know him or something?

- He was my uncle.

Oh, of course, right.

I mean...

Well, I didn't mean to

call him creepy, but I mean...

He wasn't a nice person.

Okay...

Listen, I know how

to make him go away.

- Just focus on me.

- Okay.

Oh!

Oh, sh*t.

No, don't look at him,

look at me.

Oh, sh*t.

All right,

you scientist a**holes,

I want a copy of that footage.

Like, I want you to put it

on a disc or something,

But don't watch it.

Just get it to me, okay?

All right.

Oh, f***.

Oh, god damn it.

Clarissa...

is that you?

Hey.

Oh, sh*t!

Hey.

Oh, god.

Oh, sh*t.

What the f***?

Clarissa, give me your hand!

F***.

I got you.

I got you.

Oh, f***!

Oh... oh... oh... oh...

all right.

You're coming out of here,

you f***er.

Eww... oh, I can't look

at this sh*t.

Oh, god.

Okay.

Oh, sh*t!

Larry.

Larry!

Hey, keep your voice down.

What?

- What's wrong?

- Nothing.

I just watched something

really weird.

It couldn't have been real,

so...

Okay. Is there anything

on that computer?

I'm cloning his hard drive now.

It shouldn't take too long.

Here, look at this.

Tape is the final link for me.

I know a lot of you have posted

that it only affects you.

If you play it

in a correct sequence.

But I've been

experimenting on...

Is this the kid?

Yeah, that's him.

I found some notebooks

in his room.

Kind of like journals.

Mostly just nonsense, though.

I'm going through them

right now.

Why don't you, like, keep

looking at these tapes?

Kid's a collector.

I don't know. Who knows?

Maybe there's something relevant

on them.

Oh. Um...

okay.

We're all just

electromagnetic energy,

Then these analog tapes

capturing images.

Of the supernatural,

They can affect

our cerebral cortex.

They... They...

Hey, babe.

Don't "hey, babe" me,

mike Sullivan.

We're supposed to be

having breakfast.

Yeah, but it's a beautiful day.

I just want to take the bike out

for a spin.

I wanted you to take me

for a spin.

You know, you ride that bike

more than you ride me.

Yeah, but you know the bike

is just a physical thing, babe.

Mm-Hmm.

Now, tell me you love me.

I love you.

Okay, good enough.

Be safe, babe.

All right, bye.

Help me! Please!

- Are you okay?

- My boyfriend!

You have to help my boyfriend!

- Aah!

- I'm getting help.

No, please!

Help Dan!

Oh, god!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,

stay with me.

Sh*t! F***!

God.

Who's there?

The police are right behind me,

so you better run.

I got a big f***ing stick!

What the f***?

Hey, hey, come on,

we got to go!

Whoa! Aah!

Aah! Get off!

Die, you f***ing b*tch!

You f***ing b*tch!

Help.

Help!

Unh!

Honey, you sure you know

where you're going?

This does not look like

a trail.

Of course I know where

I'm going.

- Trust me.

- How can you tell?

- Well, it used to be a trail.

- There's no trail here.

This doesn't look familiar

to you at all?

No, not whatsoever.

I mean it's pretty,

I'll give you that much.

Holy sh*t.

Oh, my god.

Is he...

I think so.

It looks like he's been bit

by something.

Will you check his pulse,

just to be sure?

Nothing.

My god, I mean,

what could have done this?

I don't know.

I don't know.

- An animal?

- Yes, hello.

We found someone.

He's, like, covered in blood,

And there's no pulse.

We're on the bike trails and...

I mean, it looks like he's been

bit by something.

- It's a bite, right?

- That would be my guess.

What state park is this?

I don't remember.

This is gold stone state park.

Yeah, we're at gold stone

state park.

But I'm not sure, exactly,

where we are here.

It's the... The trail

off of highway one.

Yeah, on the trails

off of highway one.

- Okay.

- They're sending somebody?

They're gonna send...

Connect us with a park ranger.

Okay.

Holy sh*t.

God.

- Wait a minute.

- Honey, what are you doing?

- I think I heard a noise.

- What kind of noise?

I don't know.

It's like he said something.

Hey... hey.

Hey!

- Hey!

- Hey! Hey! No!

Get off me!

Get off me, man!

Get off of him!

Stop it! Stop!

Get off him!

Aah!

No! Get off!

No! Stop it! Get off!

Aah! Oh, my god!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday, Bianca.

All right, honey.

Aah!

Go! Go!

Hey!

Aah!

Get in the car.

Get in the car. Let's go.

Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Faster, faster.

Hurry up. Hurry up.

Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Get in. Get in! Get in!

Come on, man.

Yeah!

Aah! No! No!

Oh, sh*t!

Hi. Hi.

Hi!

Hello?

Mike?

Mike, mike, mike.

Are you okay?

You butt-Dialed me,

goofball.

Oh, well, I love you, baby.

Can't wait for you to get home.

Bye.

Hey, how's it going in here?

Hey.

Sorry.

I must've fallen asleep.

Oh, my god.

Your nose is bleeding.

Don't tilt your head back.

It'll just go down your throat.

- This one of your migraines?

- Mm...

- Mm-Hmm.

- Are your pills in your purse?

Yeah.

They're not in here.

Could you have left them

at your apartment?

Maybe. I don't know.

I...

All right,

so what do you want me to do?

We passed a drugstore

on the way here.

I could go back, get you some

aspirin or something.

Yeah.

I don't feel like moving.

All right, well, I feel

kind of weird leaving you...

Just go.

Okay.

I'll be right back.

Malik, I'm getting audio,

but no visual.

- Check the connection.

- Wait, wait, wait.

Okay, how 'bout now?

That's...

Okay, we're good.

- We're good?

- We're good.

All right.

Let me see.

All right, perfect.

Now switch to Lena-Cam.

All right.

Do you see me, gents?

Crystal clear.

Adam?

Can you tell?

No. From here, not a thing.

But if I zoom in...

the top button, Adam.

Well?

Let's just say you really have

to be looking for it.

Yo, Adam.

- Would you pass me the spy cam?

- Where?

In my bag.

In the front.

- Sure.

- Thanks, man.

Here, heads up.

You're a f***ing dick,

you know that?

Okay, guys?

Hi, Lydia. Oh...

yeah, all right.

Oh, wait.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Wait.

Hey, Lena, you want to upsize

that thing?

No, this is creepy, man.

I don't want to wear this.

Hey, Joni,

this belongs to you, man.

Joni, Adam, come here.

Coming, coming, coming.

Joni, not too bright.

Adam.

Hey, we're not the only one

filming, guys.

Yeah.

Okay.

Dude, can you speed things up?

- Don't forget his. Go.

- Cool.

Dude, there's blood on the mic.

You okay?

Lena, you okay?

Just start without me.

- You sure?

- Yeah.

Yeah, um...

hey, you know what?

Sorry.

You want me to go

check on Lena?

Just to make sure she's fine.

Hey, Lena.

You okay?

Lena, what's wrong?

Yo. Hey, Lena.

What happened?

Um... Malik?

- Seriously?

- My bad.

I thought I charged it

yesterday.

Man...

all right, I got this.

Batteries, batteries.

It's been over a day, Adam.

Listen, I need to know whether.

It's going to be me or you
