AS I HAVE SAID MANY TIMES
THIS SEMESTER, THIS CLASS
TEACHES NONFICTION CINEMA,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A FILM ABOU THE LATEST CELEBRITY, BROADCAS JOURNALISM IS DOWN THE HALL.
TV "JOURNALISM" IS FLUFF, MIND
MEAT LOAF FOR FAT WOMEN.
[ LAUGHS ]
NONFICTION CINEMA SHOULD MAKE
THE VIEWER A PARTICIPANT, AN
ACCOMPLICE, A VOYEUR.
KEEP IN MIND WHILE YOU'RE OU THERE, CINEMATIC FORM AND ETHICS
ALWAYS COME FIRST.
AND BE AWARE THAT YOU ARE
DOCUMENTING REALITY WITH YOUR
CAMERA.
BUT THAT CAMERA DOES NOT CREATE
SOME MAGICAL, PROTECTIVE BUBBLE
AROUND YOU.
LIFE CAN ALWAYS REACH OUT AND
TOUCH YOU, WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY
LAST POINT OF THE DAY -- YOUR
FINAL PROJECT OF THE SEMESTER,
A 30-MINUTE NONFICTION FILM.
A STATEMENT OF INTENT, CITING A LEAST THREE REAL REFERENCES --
NOT FROM THE WEB, BUT FROM THE
LIBRARY -- WILL BE DUE IN MY
OFFICE BY THE CLOSE OF BUSINESS
TONIGHT.
FOR THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR
WITH THE LIBRARY, IT'S THE BIG,
WHITE BUILDING IN THE MIDDLE OF
CAMPUS.
YOU CAN'T MISS IT.
IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, YOU
CAN ALWAYS REFER BACK TO YOUR
COURSE NOTES OR YOUR SHOOTING
GUIDE.
CHOOSE WISELY, SHOOT SAFELY, AND
BRING BACK SOME GOOD STUFF!

[ CELLPHONE RINGING ]
HELLO?
ANGEL? HEY.
WHAT WAS THE --
What?
[ CHUCKLES ]
WHERE ARE YOU?
ON MY WAY TO THE DAMN TRAIN.
NO, THE PARTY GOT BUSTED.
JUST COPS AND DRUNK FRESHMEN
RUNNING AROUND EVERYWHERE.
HEY, NO, WHAT WAS THE NAME OF
THAT, UM, THE HOSPITAL, THE ONE
YOU'RE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT?
THE COPPER QUEEN COMMUNITY?
COPPER -- HOLD ON.
COPPER QUEEN.
TELL ME YOU DIDN'T CALL ME ON
A FRIDAY NIGHT JUST FOR THAT.
[ CHUCKLES ]
ARE YOU GONNA HIT FOURTH AVENUE
TONIGHT?
NO, I'VE HAD ENOUGH
EXCITEMENT FOR ONE NIGHT.
SO, IS THIS FOR
"MR. McNUTT-BUSTER'S" CLASS?
UH, YEAH, FINAL PROJECT.
YOU LIVE WITH ME FOR TWO
YEARS, AND YOU FINALLY TAKE MY
ADVICE.
I'M THINKING ABOUT IT.
EAT ME.
You know what?
LET ME GET OUT OF HERE SO I
DON'T BECOME A STATISTIC.
SEE YOU AT HOME.
ALL RIGHT, BYE.
ACCORDING TO WEBSTER'S, A GHOS IS DEFINED AS A DISEMBODIED
SOUL...
ESPECIALLY THE SOUL OF A
DECEASED PERSON BELIEVED TO BE
AN INHABITANT OF THE UNSEEN
WORLD, OR TO APPEAR TO THE
LIVING IN BODILY LIKENESS,
OFTEN AS A RESULT OF SOME
TRAGEDY OR TRAUMA.
DO THEY EXIST?
ULTIMATELY, AS A DOCUMENTARIAN,
MY GOAL IS TO PRESENT THE
INFORMATION...
AND POSSIBLY...
SHED LIGHT ON THE TRUTH.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO --
NO, YOU CAN DO WHATEVER THE
HELL YOU WANT --
OH, COME ON, BABY.
I'M HURTING OVER HERE!
WELL, YOU CAN GO CRY ON THA WHORE'S SHOULDER, FOR ALL I --

IF HE PUTS ONE MORE BRUISE ON
YOU, I'LL CLAMP HIS FUCKING SAC.

OF IT.
IT'S JUST...

I TOLD HIM OFF EARLIER.
IT'S OVER.
[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]
[ SIGHS ]
LOOKS LIKE HE GOT THE MESSAGE.

DOWN ON LABORATORY...
YOU SHOULD PROBABLY GET A

HA.

THAT USUALLY HAVE TROUBLE WITH
THE WORD "NO."
HOW DO I ALWAYS END UP WITH

IT'S LIKE A FUCKING PARADE --

NO!

SO?
YOU WERE RIGHT.
THIS PLACE HAS A LOT OF HISTORY.
I'M SURPRISED NO ONE'S USED I BEFORE.
I TOLD YOU.
IT'S AN UNDISCOVERED GEM.
YOU CAN BE THE FIRST.
YOU KNOW, THEY SAY THE WALLS

THEY SAY THE GHOSTLY APPARITIONS
PACE THE NARROW HALLWAYS, THA YOU CAN HEAR THE SOUNDS OF
TORTURED SOULS ECHOING THROUGH
THE TREES AT NIGHT.
YOU FREAK.
[ LAUGHS ]
HAVE YOU BEEN THERE BEFORE?
AH, YOU KNOW I HAVEN'T.
YOU AND DANIEL KEEP FLAKING OU ON ME.
WELL, YOU CAN QUIT BITCHING,
'CAUSE WE'RE GOING THIS WEEKEND.
FINALLY!
YOU COME TO YOUR SENSES AND DO
SOMETHING COOL!
NOT THAT I DON'T LIKE YOUR

FINALLY SOMETHING INTERESTING,

YEAH, THANKS.
THAT'S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU.
YOU'RE SO SUPPORTIVE.
I'M HERE FOR YOU.
OH!

[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS ]
I WAS A PLUMBER.
THEN, ONE DAY, I WAS SNAKING A

NOW I GO AROUND THE COUNTRY,

I WOKE UP ON THE LAWN IN FRON OF MY FRIEND'S APARTMENT.
WHAT?
DID HE AT LEAST WAKE YOU UP?
LUCKILY, THE SPRINKLERS ARE
ON A TIMER.
OR AT LEAST I THINK IT WAS THE
SPRINKLERS.
IT COULD HAVE BEEN CAT PISS FOR
ALL I KNOW.
MAYBE THAT'S WHAT I SMELL.
THAT'S JUST MY MAN SMELL.
DON'T LIE, GIRL.
YOU KNOW YOU LOVE IT.
SO, A REAL MAN SMELLS LIKE
DEAD YETI.
GOOD TO KNOW.
[ ALL LAUGH ]
WOW, MAYA.
THANKS AGAIN FOR BRINGING ME
ALONG FOR THIS.
I'M SUCH A SUCKER FOR GOOD
CONVERSATION.

AND THE QUEEN VICTORIA STILL
REMAINS.

[ LAUGHTER ]
RIDICULOUS.
ARE YOU DONE?
[ SIGHS ]
REALLY?
NICE.
OH, GOD!
LUCAS, WHAT THE FUCK?
HEY!
YOU GUYS WANT TO HEAR ABOUT MY
LAST INTERNSHIP?
YOU GET A MOVIE?
NOT EXACTLY.
MORE LIKE HARDCORE PORN.
THAT'S HOT.
YOU KNOW YOU FIT RIGHT IN
THERE.
DON'T GIVE ME THAT.
IT'S EVERYTHING YOU'RE
THINKING.
JUST GROSS!
BY THE END OF THE DAY, I FEL LIKE I HAD SUCTION CUPS ON THE
BOTTOM OF MY SHOES.
I KEPT STICKING TO THE FLOOR AND
SHIT.
WE HAD A QUICK BREAK WHILE THEY
WOULD LIGHT THE NEXT SET.
SO, I'D GO OVER TO CRAF SERVICE, WHICH CONSISTS OF A
COUPLE CEREAL BARS AND A BIG
PUNCH BOWL FULL OF M&Ms.
AS I GO TO GRAB SOMETHING, ONE
OF THE "ACTORS" WALKS UP AND
WITHOUT ANYTHING GOING STARTS TO
FUCK HIMSELF RIGHT IN FRONT OF
ME.
[ LAUGHTER ]
AND THEN THE FUCKER HAS THE
NERVE TO ASK ME ABOUT THE
WEATHER, LIKE I'M
GEORGE MICHAEL, AND WE'RE IN A
PUBLIC RESTROOM.
SO, HE'S TRYING TO HOLD A...
AND WITHOUT MISSING A BEAT, HE
TAKES HIS DICK HAND AND STICKS
IT RIGHT IN THE BOWL, TAKING A
BIG HANDFUL OF M&Ms.
[ LAUGHTER ]
AND THEN HE GOES ABOUT HIS
BUSINESS LIKE HE DOES IT ALL THE
TIME.
THE FUCKER HAD A FREE HAND AND
STILL CHOSE TO DIG IN THERE WITH
HIS GOOEY HAND.
FUCKING DICK.
IT WAS JUST SICK.
I FELT LIKE I NEEDED A SHOWER
AFTER THAT.
[ LAUGHS ]
IS THIS IT?
NOT MUCH GOING ON HERE, IS
THERE?
WELL, AFTER THE COPPER RAN
OUT, THE TOWN POPULATION WEN FROM, LIKE, 7,000 TO 50
PRACTICALLY OVERNIGHT.
IT SAYS IN THE EARLY 1890s, A
COUPLE CONCEIVED THEIR FIRS CHILD IN THE BOTTOM OF THE PIT.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS.
AND THEY STILL LIVE DOWN
THERE TODAY.
IN A MASS ORGY, RIGHT WHERE
YOU SEE THAT BIG SPOT.
DUDE, LOOK AT IT.
SERIOUS.
IT'S THE PERFECT PLACE FOR A
GREAT ORGY.
POSING FOR PICTURES -- HERE
WE GO.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]
ALL RIGHT.
WELCOME, FOLKS.
HI, SIR.
I'M MAYA, AND WE'RE FROM THE
UNIVERSITY UP HERE DOING A
DOCUMENTARY FOR A CLASS ON THE
OLD HOSPITAL.
OH, AIN'T NOTHING WORTH
DOCUMENTING UP THERE, GIRL.
EVEN WITH ALL OF THE GHOSTS?
GHOSTS?
IS THAT RIGHT?
[ CHUCKLES ]
UH, YEAH.
ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE
COPPER QUEEN?
YEAH.
IT'S BEEN UP THERE MY WHOLE
LIFE.
ONE OF THE UNFORTUNATE 50, I
GUESS.
SOMETHING FUNNY?
OH, NO. SORRY.
DO YOU KNOW HOW TO GET THERE?
YOU'D HAVE TO BE BLIND TO
MISS IT.
SOMETIME AROUND 1910, I THINK
DURING THE TAFT PRESIDENCY, THE
HOSPITAL WAS OPEN TO ACCOMMODATE
THE INFLUX OF MINERS AND THEIR
FAMILIES GOING TO WORK ON THE
MULE.
I'M SORRY -- THE MULE?
MULE MOUNTAINS.
AT ITS PEAK, OUR POPULATION ROSE
TO OH, ABOUT 9,000.
BUT BY THE 1950s, BOOM TIMES
WERE OVER.
PEOPLE BEGAN TO LEAVE TOWN.
AT THE TIME, THE HOSPITAL BECAME
A SPECIAL-CARE FACILITY AND
CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.
AT LEAST, THAT'S WHAT THEY TOLD
US.
WASN'T UNTIL THE '70s, AFTER THE
PLACE WAS SHUT DOWN, THAT WE
STARTED TO HEAR ABOUT THE THINGS
THEY ACTUALLY DID THERE.
MISS, DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THE
HOSPITAL IS HAUNTED?
UM, WELL, I DON'T KNOW FOR
CERTAIN.
I'VE HEARD LOTS OF STORIES, BU I PERSONALLY HAVEN'T SEEN
ANYTHING.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS?
WELL, LIKE I SAID, I HAVEN' SEEN ANYTHING MYSELF, BUT MY
BEST FRIEND AT THE TIME, SONNY?
SHE COME OVER TO MY HOUSE,
TERRIFIED ONE ONE NIGHT BY WHA SHE HAD SEEN.
IT WAS LIKE SHE WAS HOPPED UP ON
SOMETHING, YOU KNOW?
ALL MANIC.
AS LONG AS I'D KNOWN HER, I
NEVER SEEN HER LIKE THAT.
SO, THERE'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING
TO IT.
SONNY WOULDN'T LIE TO ME.
WHAT WERE THEY DOING?
THEY WERE TORTURING THOSE
POOR KIDS WITH THA ELECTRIC-SHOCK THERAPY.
AND THEY'D BEEN DOING IT FOR
YEARS.
MOST OF THE PATIENTS WERE WARDS
OF THE STATE LABELED WITH SOME
SOCIAL-BEHAVIORAL DISORDER OR
DIAGNOSED WITH SOME MENTAL
ILLNESS.
SO, THEY WERE EASY PREY.
ALL THIS CAME OUT AFTER THA FUCKING DOCTOR WAS FOUND.
THE SCANDAL, MIXED WITH THE
CLOSURE OF THE MINE, ALMOST SHU THIS TOWN DOWN.
NOW WE'RE JUST A BOOMTOWN
WASTELAND.
SHE SAID SHE SAW A SHADOWY
MAN WHO SEEMED TO FLOAT THROUGH
THE WOODS -- AND SHE WAS
PETRIFIED TELLING ME THIS! --
DRAGGING A DEAD BODY BEHIND HIM.
NO, IT'S ALL BULLSHIT, LADY.
EVEN WITH ALL THE STORIES?
ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THE
STORIES!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
MY AUNT -- I MEAN, BACK IN '93?
MAN, SHE SAID SHE SAW ELVIS A THE PIGGLY WIGGLY.
MAN, I WAS AT THE STOP-N-GO ONE
TIME, AND I SAW SOMEBODY.
IT WASN'T WHO I THOUGHT IT WAS,
BUT I SAW HIM.
BUT IT TURNED OUT TO BE A
MARMOT.
BUT PEOPLE SEE WHAT THEY WANT TO
SEE, LADY.
IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW -- DON' LISTEN TO NOBODY.
IT'S ALL BULLSHIT, REALLY.
[ HORN HONKS ]
EXCUSE ME, SIR?
COULD YOU TELL US ABOUT THE OLD
HOSPITAL?
WHAT BUSINESS IS IT OF YOURS?
OH, I'M SORRY.
I'M MAKING A DOCUMENT--
LEAVE IT ALONE.
THAT PLACE CAUSED THIS TOWN MORE
TROUBLE.
YOU CITY RATS -- YOU DON'T KNOW
A DAMN THING ABOUT IT.
UM...THANK YOU!
ALL RIGHT.
ON TO THE NEXT CROTCHETY, OLD
BASTARD.
HAVE YOU BEEN OUT THERE SINCE
SHE TOOK YOU?
COME CLOSE A COUPLE OF TIMES,
BUT ONLY IN BROAD DAYLIGHT AND
WITH A SHITLOAD OF PEOPLE.
NOWADAYS, I DON'T HAVE MUCH
REASON TO GO OUT THAT FAR
OUTSIDE OF TOWN, NOT ANYMORE.
I TELL YOU WHAT.
I SURE AS HELL WON'T LET MY KIDS
GO OUT THERE.
EVERY NOW AND THEN, WHEN SOME
CITY KID COMES UP MISSING, I
HEAR A NEWS STORY THAT SAYS THA THEY MUST HAVE BEEN SWALLOWED UP
BY SOME GHOSTS.
[ CHUCKLES ]
I'VE HEARD A MILLION STORIES.
SOMEBODY HEARD SOMETHING,
SOMEBODY SAW SOMETHING -- THINGS
LIKE THAT.
BUT ONLY STORIES.
YOU GOT TO STOP WASTING TIME
WITH ME.
YOU SHOULD BE TALKING TO
MRS. CAMPBELL.
SHE KNOWS IT ALL.
HELL, SHE'S SEEN IT ALL.
USED TO BE A NURSE UP THERE.
THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
I'LL TELL HER YOU'RE COMING.
[ CHUCKLES ]
YEAH, YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ASK
ABOUT THAT, YOU KIDS, YOU ASK
MRS. CAMPBELL.
SHE KNOWS THE TRUTH.
[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS ]
NUMBER 25.
WELL, I GUESS THIS IS IT.
DUDE, I GET A BAD VIBRATION
FROM THIS PLACE.
WELL, IT'S A LITTLE FUCKED
UP, BUT IT'S NOT EXACTLY
"TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE,"
EITHER.
YEAH, BUT, I MEAN, EVER SINCE
WE'VE COME TO THIS GODDAMN
DESERT, I JUST FEEL LIKE WE'RE
GONNA GET SHOT, OR WE'RE GONNA
GET RABIES OR SOME RIDICULOUS
BULLSHIT LIKE THAT.
COMING TO A PLACE LIKE THAT,
IT'S LIKE WE'RE JUST ASKING FOR
IT.
WELL, THEN, STAY IN THE CAR.
WE DON'T NEED YOU, ANYWAY.
THANKS.
ACTUALLY, I'M JUST GONNA GO
IN AND ASK HER IF WE CAN COME
IN.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
[ BIRDS CHIRPING ]
[ CHICKEN CLUCKS ]
HELLO.
HI, MA'AM.
WE'RE DOING THE DOCUMENTARY ON
THE OLD HOSPITAL.
OH, YES.
HARLAN'S FRIENDS.
YEAH.
PLEASE, COME INSIDE.
OKAY.
UM...
DO YOU WANT TO JUST TELL US
EVERYTHING YOU REMEMBER FROM
THAT TIME?
WAS THE HOSPITAL REALLY HAUNTED,
OR...
I HAD JUST TURNED 15 WHEN MY
FATHER MOVED THE FAMILY HERE TO
WORK ON THE MINE, IN DECEMBER OF
AFTER THE JAPANESE BOMBED
PEARL HARBOR IN '41, I STAYED ON
AT THE HOSPITAL, EVENTUALLY
BECOMING A NURSE.
FOR THOSE FIRST TWO YEARS, WE
WERE SIMPLY A HOSPITAL CONCERNED
WITH PATIENT CARE.
BY 1950, BOOM TIMES WERE
DEFINITELY OVER.
THAT'S WHEN THIS UNKNOWN DOCTOR
TOOK OVER AT THE HOSPITAL.
UNDER HIM, I WATCHED THE FOCUS
OF THE HOSPITAL CHANGE.
HE HAD AN UNBEARABLE BITCH OF A
WIFE.
EXCUSE MY LANGUAGE, BUT SHE WAS
JUST AS RESPONSIBLE FOR WHA HAPPENED HERE AS HE WAS, MAYBE
MORE.
THEY WEREN'T INTERESTED IN
CURING ANYONE.
IN ORDER FOR THE HOSPITAL TO
KEEP GETTING GOVERNMENT FUNDING,
THEY HAD TO MAINTAIN A CERTAIN
NUMBER OF PATIENTS ON THE BOOKS.
THAT'S WHEN THE FIRS DISAPPEARANCES WERE REPORTED.
OH, UM, I DIDN'T GET A LOT OF
INFORMATION.
I FOUND A FEW NEWSPAPER
CLIPPINGS.
I KNOW WHAT THE NEWSPAPER
SAID.
I ALSO KNOW WHAT I SAW.
PATIENTS WOULD COME IN AND OU OF THE TUNNELS -- NO PAPERWORK,
NO HISTORY.
IT WENT ON LIKE THAT FOR YEARS.
THAT'S WHEN...HE SHOWED UP.
WHO, MRS. CAMPBELL?
HIS NAME WAS ISAAC.
HE WAS A TYPICAL, LITTLE BOY,
BUT THERE WAS JUST SOMETHING
ABOUT HIM THAT DIDN'T FIT.
HE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE THERE.
I MEAN, HONESTLY, NONE OF THOSE
POOR CHILDREN SHOULD HAVE BEEN
THERE.
ACUTE SCHIZOPHRENIA AND
DEPRESSION, THE DOCTOR SAID.
BUT NONE OF THE SYMPTOMS ON HIS
CHART MATCHED UP.
IT JUST SEEMED LIKE HE WAS
ABANDONED THERE.
SO, I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO
LOOK AFTER HIM.
HE WAS BEGINNING TO MAKE
PROGRESS, UNTIL DR. HOSTEDLER
HAD HIM SENT DOWNSTAIRS TO
"THERAPY."
THAT'S WHAT THEY CALLED IT --
THERAPY.
AND I ASKED WHERE HE WAS TAKEN.
THEY SIMPLY SAID THAT HE WAS
TRANSFERRED DOWNSTAIRS AND THA ISAAC WAS NO LONGER MY CONCERN.
AFTER THAT, I NEVER SAW THE BOY
AGAIN.
LATER THAT FALL, RUMORS BEGAN TO
CIRCULATE AROUND THE NURSING
STAFF ABOUT THE BOY'S TRUE
IDENTITY.
ROSIE SHAW, A CLOSE FRIEND OF
MINE AT THE TIME, HEARD THE
DOCTOR AND HIS WIFE ARGUING IN
HIS OFFICE...
THAT ILLEGITIMATE BASTARD
NEEDS TO DISAPPEAR.
DO YOU HEAR ME?
HE COULD JEOPARDIZE EVERYTHING
WE'VE WORKED FOR!
I TOOK CARE OF THE MOTHER WHEN
SHE SHOWED UP AT OUR FUCKING
DOORSTEP!
YOU NEED TO HANDLE THIS
SITUATION ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
JUST HANDLE IT...NOW!
IT'S MY SON.
THAT WEEK I COULDN'T GET I OUT OF MY HEAD.
SO, I SNUCK INTO THE RESTRICTED
LOWER LEVEL TO CHECK UP ON HIM.
WHAT I SAW THERE MADE ME SICK TO
MY STOMACH.
BEFORE I COULD GO ANY FURTHER,
I WAS CAUGHT AND PROMPTLY ASKED
TO LEAVE.
LATER, I HEARD FROM ROSIE THA ISAAC HAD DIED.
DID THE DOCTOR EVER ADMI THAT ISAAC WAS HIS SON?
NO, HE NEVER DID.
WHEN THE DOCTOR WAS FOUND DEAD,
THERE WAS NO QUESTION WHO HAD
DONE IT, NOT IN MY MIND, A LEAST.
I'M SORRY, MRS. CAMPBELL.
EVERYTHING I HAVE READ SAID I WAS A MURDER-SUICIDE.
FORGIVE ME.
BUT I WAS THERE.
I KNOW THE TRUTH.
UM...WHAT IS THE TRUTH,
MRS. CAMPBELL?
THAT THE BOY KILLED THEM ALL.
AND I CAN'T SAY THEY DIDN' DESERVE IT.
THAT NIGHT, I SAW THE BOY AS A
MAN.
I HATE TO THINK OF IT.
BUT HE MUST HAVE GOTTEN OUT AND
BEEN LIVING IN THAT HOSPITAL THE
WHOLE TIME.
THE SHERIFF KNEW MY HISTORY WITH
ISAAC.
WE TRACKED HIM IN THE
HOSTEDLERS' HOUSE, ALL THE WAY
TO THE HOSPITAL GROUNDS.
WHEN WE CAUGHT UP TO HIM, HE WAS
DRAGGING THE BODY OF THAT DAMN
NURSE.
THEY DUMPED HIS BODY IN A
SHALLOW GRAVE.
YOU ASKED ABOUT THE GHOSTS UP
THERE.
I SAW HIM DIE.
I SAW THE ANGUISH IN HIS EYES,
AND I BELIEVE THAT TORMENTED BOY
IS THE GHOST YOU'RE AFTER.
ISAAC DIDN'T DESERVE WHA HAPPENED TO HIM.
THAT BOY WASN'T BORN EVIL.
HE WAS MADE THAT WAY.
I THINK I'M DONE NOW, DEAR.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
HAVE A GREAT DAY.
OH, MY GOD.
HOLY SHIT.
I CAN'T BELIEVE WE JUST GO THAT.
YEAH, PRETTY FUCKING CREEPY.
SHE WAS AMAZING.
NOW WE JUST HAVE TO COVER THE
HOSPITAL.
DUDE, I'M NOT EVEN SURE I
WANT TO GO ANYMORE.
OH, COME ON!
WE'RE SO CLOSE.
AND ALL WE NEED IS SOME BUREAU
FOOTAGE AND A LITTLE AUDIO, SOME
"GHOST CHASERS"-TYPE STUFF, AND
I'LL HAVE YOU HOME IN TIME FOR
"SOUTH PARK."
ALL RIGHT, IF YOU SAY SO.
[ DANIEL, ANGEL MOANING ]
AW, IT'S LIKE ON
ANIMAL PLANET, YOU KNOW, WHEN,
LIKE THE AWKWARD WATER BUFFALO
MOUNTS THE GRACEFUL GAZELLE.
IT'S JUST 'CAUSE IT'S YOUR
FIRST TIME SEEING IT.
I MEAN, YOU GET USED TO IT,
REALLY.
ALL YOU NEED IS A BLINDFOLD,
EARPLUGS, LYSOL, AND A BUCKE OF PURELL.
HEY, COOL IT.
WE HAVE TO GET ON THE ROAD.
SHIT, DUDE, CAN YOU JUST WAI FOR, LIKE, 20 MINUTES?
AND I WOULD REALLY PREFER I IF YOU WOULD PAY TO GET THE CAR
WASHED.
THAT'S THE LEAST Y'ALL DIRTY
MOTHERFUCKERS CAN DO.
UGH!
DUDE, YOU GUYS, MOVE OVER.
OH, THAT'S DISGUSTING.
DUDE, IT REEKS IN HERE!
[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS ]
I TOLD YOU GUYS TO ONLY BRING
WHAT YOU NEED.
COME ON.
WE HAVE TO GET UP THIS HILL.
HEY!
YOU AIN'T SUPPOSED TO BE FOOLING
AROUND OUT HERE.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
YOU'RE UP HERE.
COME ON, SPORT.
THESE YOUNG GIRLS, THEY DON' WANT TO BE MESSING AROUND UP
HERE.
IT AIN'T SAFE.
IT'S NOT THE OLD WEST,
COWBOY.
THESE ARE BIG GIRLS.
THEY CAN TAKE CARE OF
THEMSELVES.
THIS IS A DANGEROUS AREA.
YOU JUST CAN'T GO WANDERING
AROUND HERE LIKE YOU KNOW WHA YOU'RE DOING.
THIS WHOLE AREA'S PEPPERED WITH
ABANDONED MINE SHAFTS, NOT TO
MENTION THE WILD ANIMALS.
IF YOU AIN'T FROM HERE, YOU
MIGHT NOT MAKE IT OUT OF HERE.
NOW GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM
NOW.
I'M SERIOUS.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCERN,
SIR, BUT WE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
THANKS, COACH.
IT'S A GREAT TALK.
MM-HMM.
YOU'RE PRETTY FUCKING SMART,
AIN'T YOU?
YOU THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING.
YOU GOT ALL THE ANSWERS, RIGHT?
WELL, YOU'RE GONNA BE DAMN SORRY
YOU DIDN'T LISTEN TO ME, BECAUSE
THAT FUCKING EGO OF YOURS IS
GONNA GET YOUR CANDY-ASS IN
TROUBLE!
FUCKING SERIOUS? REALLY?
STOP, DUDE.
YOU'LL ALL BE DEAD BY
MORNING.
OH, YEAH?

STOP!

WHAT THE HELL'S THAT GUY'S
PROBLEM, ANYWAY?
THE FUCKER'S PROBABLY...
[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS ]
THAT THING'S NEVER GONNA WORK.
THEY CUT THE POWER DOWN AT THE
STREET LEVEL.
IT'LL WORK.
MY FRIENDS AND I SNUCK INTO
THE MINE LAST SUMMER.
THE LIGHTS THERE WERE ON.
IT'S ALL TIED TOGETHER.
DAMN, GIRL!
THAT WAS LAST SUMMER.
WHEN THE HELL DID YOU GUYS
GET ENGINEERING DEGREES?
[ ELECTRICITY CRACKLES ]
[ WHIRRING ]
LET THE RECORD STATE THAT THE
PATIENT IS NONRESPONSIVE.
ONLY YOU.
[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS ]
[ GROANS ]
YOU GUYS, COME IN THIS WAY!
THIS IS LIKE A MAZE...
SO AWESOME.
WHY DON'T WE JUST LEAVE OUR
STUFF IN HERE AND THEN GO TO A
ROOM BEFORE YOU CAN GET CLEAN
EVP.
YEAH. YEAH, SURE.
AND JUST, LIKE, WALK AROUND
AND JUST TAKE PICTURES OF, YOU
KNOW, LIKE, ANYTHING.
WELL, YOU'RE GOOD AT THIS.
YEAH, WE GOT IT.
AND THEN, WHEN LUCAS GETS HERE,
HE CAN DO THE INFRARED, AND
YOU...
WELL, YOU CAN JUST DO WHATEVER
YOU WANT TO DO.

YOU SHOULD NEVER SAY THAT TO ME.

DO YOU KNOW WHY YOU'RE HERE?

NONRESPONSIVE.
[ PEOPLE SCREAMING ]

WHAT?
HI.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, YEAH.
I JUST GOT A LITTLE SENSITIVE,
I GUESS.
I'LL SAY.
IF I REMEMBER, THIS PLACE IS
AWESOME!
YEAH.
I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S...I JUST...
I...I KIND OF FELT HIM IN THERE.
YOU KNOW, I FELT HIM SCREAMING
FOR HELP.
[ LAUGHS ]
WELL, THEN, WE DEFINITELY
HAVE TO SHOOT THIS.
YOU COULD TELL HIS STORY, MAYBE
EVEN MAKE US FAMOUS.
[ LAUGHS ]
Yeah.
DID I EVER TELL YOU WHY I
TRANSFERRED TO U. OF A.?
NO.
UM...
I WENT A LITTLE CRAZY MY
FRESHMAN YEAR.
I WAS AT USC, AND I WAS SITTING
THERE WITH MY NEW SORORITY
SISTERS, LISTENING TO THEIR
STUPID, SELF-ABSORBED TALK, AND
I JUST...
I JUST BROKE, YOU KNOW?
I DIDN'T KNOW WHY I WAS THERE.
I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING IN COMMON
WITH THEM.
AND IF I HAD TO SIT THERE AND
LISTEN TO THEM TALK ABOUT THEIR
SELVES FOR ONE MORE SECOND --
LIKE, EVEN THEIR VOICES STARTED
TO SOUND LIKE YAPPING POODLES.
IT WAS...
ALL I KNEW WAS I COULDN'T SEE
THEIR FUCKING FACES OR LISTEN TO
THEM TALK ANYMORE.
THREE DAYS LATER, I WAS AT THE
THIS RANCH IN TUCSON, FIGURING
SHIT OUT.
THEY DIAGNOSED ME WITH "ACUTE
EXHAUSTION AND DEPRESSION."
AND I TRIED TO TRANSFER BACK,
BUT IT WAS TOO LATE.
I HAD ALREADY LOST MY
SCHOLARSHIP, AND I WOULD HAVE
HAD TO REGISTER AS HAVING A
MENTAL DISORDER SO THAT THEY
COULD KEEP TABS ON ME -- FOR MY
PROTECTION, OF COURSE.
SO, HERE I AM.
SHIT.
I'M SORRY.
[ SIGHS ]
NO WONDER THIS HITS YOU SO HARD.
SIXTY YEARS AGO, YOU COULD HAVE
BEEN HERE.
WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION ANYTHING
BEFORE?
YEAH. YEAH.
"HI.
MY NAME'S MAYA, AND I JUST SPEN TIME IN A PSYCH WARD, BUT I
REALLY NEED A ROOMMATE."
NO.
I TRUST YOU.
I JUST...I GUESS I WAS HOPING I WOULD NEVER COME UP.
WELL, HEY, I'M NOT GONNA
JUDGE YOU.
NOW COME ON.
LET'S GO CHECK THE REST OF THIS
PLACE OUT.
YEAH?
[ VIDEO CAMERA BEEPS ]
[ SIGHS ]
WHY DON'T YOU CATCH A PICTURE
OF THAT?
THAT CRAP OVER THERE.
[ LAUGHS ]
OH, GOD!
YOU KNOW, WE ACTUALLY TRAIPSED
THROUGH THAT.
WE DID THAT FOR THIS FILM.
ARE YOU GETTING ANY OF THIS,
OR ARE YOU JUST PLAYING AROUND
BACK THERE?
DOES ANY OF THIS STUFF LOOK
LIKE THE SET OF YOUR LAS INTERNSHIP?
NAH. THIS IS CLEAN.
THIS WILL BE REALLY GOOD FOR
PICTURES.
YOU KNOW, THE MOST DANGEROUS
THING IN THIS PLACE IS YOUR
SENSE OF CURIOSITY.
OH, YOU KNOW, CURIOSITY IS
WHAT CREATES FILMS.
UH-HUH.
ALSO WHAT KILLS FILMMAKERS.
ARE THERE ANY MORE
SHIT-INFESTED HOLES YOU'D LIKE
TO DRAG US INTO?
GOD!
BATTERIES.
IT'S WEIRD.
WHY WOULD SOMEONE NEED TO CUT A
HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT?
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]
THERE WE GO.
CAN YOU GET CLOSE ON THAT?
YEAH.
EXCELLENT.
GUYS, DON'T LEAVE ME OU HERE!
WELL, THEN, WALK IN THE DOOR.
WALK WITH US, THEN.
GEEZ!
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING.
OKAY.
THIS IS NICE, JOURNEY
TOGETHER THROUGH THE BASEMENT.
SHUT UP!
ALL RIGHT, IT IS KIND OF NICE,
ACTUALLY.
I LIKE THE FACT THAT THERE
ARE NAILS STICKING OUT OF THE
CEILING.
YEAH.
IT'S KIND OF LIKE
"HELLRAISER."
[ RATTLING ]
THAT'S NOT FUNNY, YOU GUYS.
WHAT'S GOING UP THERE?
HEY, IT'S PROBABLY -- IT'S
PROBABLY JUST ANGEL AND DANIEL.
DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THEM.
MY GOD, GET THIS.
THERE'S NOTHING IN HERE, YOU
GUYS.
[ GASPS ]
I KNOW YOU GUYS HEARD THAT.
COME ON!
I...IT WAS PROBABLY -- IT'S
PROBABLY AN ANIMAL.
IT'S ABANDONED.
[ RATTLING CONTINUES ]
YOU GUYS...IT SOUNDS LIKE A
KID.
IT'S PROBABLY AN ANIMAL.
IT'S AN ABANDONED STRUCTURE.
YEAH.
ABANDONED STRUCTURES AND ANIMALS
SOUND LIKE THAT ALL THE TIME.
[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS ]
[ GASPS ]
WHAT WAS THAT?
I DON'T KNOW.
I SAW THE SAME THING YOU DID.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL THA WAS.
BUT YOU SAW IT, RIGHT?
Yeah.
YEAH.
Fuck!
[ VEHICLE DOOR OPENS, CLOSES ]
FUCK THIS SHIT!
I'M GETTING THIS BITCH.
I'M GETTING HER.
[ VIDEO CAMERA BEEPS ]
[ SIGHS ]
HOW COULD ANYBODY POSSIBLY
NEED TO PISS THAT MUCH?
YOU ARE SO DISGUSTING!
NO, I'M SERIOUS.
I'M SERIOUS.
AAH!
WHAT THE FUCK?!
[ LAUGHS ]
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
AT LEAST I'M GETTING SOME
GOOD STUFF.
I'M GOOD. I'M GOOD.
NOT EVEN FUNNY.
IT'S NOT FUNNY AT ALL, AND DON' DO THAT AGAIN!
IT'S FUCKING HILARIOUS.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
[ SIGHS ]
HEY...
[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS ]
AAH!
YOU GUYS, I THINK I'M GOING
TO GO IN THE OTHER ROOM AND TAKE
SOME PICTURES.
I SAW SOME PLACES EARLIER THAT I
WOULD LIKE TO CATCH.
COOL.
GIVE ME YOUR FLASHLIGHT.
YEAH.
THANKS.
ALL RIGHT.
BE RIGHT BACK.
TALK TO YOU GUYS LATER!
[ SIGHS ]
SEE, I LEFT YOU A MESSAGE.
DID YOU?
MMM.
DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH BATTERIES?
BATTERY LOOKS GOOD.
MEKALIA'S BEEN OUT FOR A
WHILE.
I KNOW.
I'M WORRIED ABOUT HER.
THE GIRL'S PROBABLY HALFWAY
TO THE CAR BY NOW.
NO, SHE WOULDN'T DO THAT.
YES, SHE WOULD.
HEY, BABE.
HE SAID YOU'D BE SURPRISED.
I SURE AS HELL WAS.
IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU, TOO.
HEY!
WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?
HEY!
WHAT?
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING
HERE?!
ME? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU --
I AM DOING --
WHO THE FUCK IS THIS GUY?
HE IS HELPING ME --
SHUT UP.
WE NEED TO TALK.
WHY DIDN'T YOU ANSWER ANY OF MY
CALLS?
UM, WELL, WHAT PART OF "I
DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU
ANYMORE" DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?
I SAID I WAS SORRY.
OH, OKAY, THEN.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST GET THE FUCK
OUT OF HERE?
SEE, I KNOW YOU DON'T MEAN
THAT, HONEY.
YOU JUST GOT A LITTLE UPSET.
IT'S OKAY.
I FORGIVE YOU.
DON'T, ALL RIGHT?
HEY, IT'S NONE OF YOUR
FUCKING BUSINESS, LITTLE MAN.
LET HER GO.
OH, WE MOVE ON QUICKLY, DON' WE?
ALREADY TRYING TO REPLACE ME.
NICE.
LOOKS LIKE I'M GONNA HAVE TO
SHOW OUR GUARD DOG A LITTLE
LESSON IN OBEDIENCE.
JUST FUCKING LEAVE!
SHE OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T WANT YOU
IN HER LIFE ANYMORE, AND NONE OF
US WANT YOU HERE.
GET THE HINT!
OKAY, FINE.
Stop. FINE.
WE'LL TALK.
YEAH, THATAGIRL.
ARE YOU SURE, MAYA?
YEAH.
YOUR LUCKY YOUR MAMA'S HERE.
COME ON!
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
I SAID I WAS SORRY.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
LIKE, WHY CAN'T YOU HEAR WHA I'M SAYING TO YOU?
YOU'RE STILL MY GIRL.
WAS!
WAS, AS IN PAST TENSE!
WHAT IS WRONG --
YOU DON'T TELL ME WHEN THIS
IS OVER!
WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING HERE?
HOW DID YOU EVEN KNOW WHERE I
WAS?
I TRACKED YOUR PHONE BY GPS.
I HAVE TO KEEP TABS ON YOU.
[ SCOFFS ]
YOU SON OF A BITCH.
JUST LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE.
NO!
NO, YOU DON'T GET TO TOUCH ME
ANYMORE!
LISTEN.
YOU'RE STILL MY GIRL, DAMN IT.
I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY.
I'M TAKING YOU BACK.
HEY!
DON'T YOU FUCKING --
STOP IT!
WANT TO LOOK LIKE A HERO?
STOP IT!
STOP IT!
NO! NO!
STOP!
OKAY.
WELL, YOU UNDERSTAND SHE'S
COMING WITH ME, REGARDLESS.
UNDERSTAND THAT, DON'T YOU?
NOW COME ON, BABY.

[ KNIFE PUNCTURES ]

JUST RUN FUCKING FASTER!
DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHERE YOU'RE
GOING?

ANYWHERE BUT IN THIS FUCKING
PLACE.
NONE OF THIS LOOKS RIGHT.
I DON'T REMEMBER ANY OF THIS.
WELL, EVERYTHING IN THIS
FUCKING PLACE LOOKS EXACTLY THE
SAME.
I'M JUST TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM
WHATEVER THE FUCK THAT THING
WAS!
THAT'S IT!
I SHOULD HAVE MY HEAD EXAMINED
BLINDLY FOLLOWING YOU.
ANY MINUTE, THAT THING'S
GONNA COME BACK DOWN HERE.
IT'S GONNA SKULL-FUCK ALL OF US!
AND WHAT THE FUCK WAS THA THING?
IT WASN'T JUST SOME HILLBILLY.
KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT?
YOU SAW WHAT THAT THING DID.
WE'RE SCREWED!
THIS PLACE IS FUCKED, MAN.
LISTEN!
YOU BETTER GET IT TOGETHER.
SAC UP AND KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN,
'CAUSE IF YOU DON'T, I'LL
SKULL-FUCK YOU MYSELF.
NOW SNAP OUT OF IT!
ISAAC.
HE'S DEAD.
MRS. CAMPBELL SAYS HE'S DEAD.
NO, I KNOW, EXCEPT THE BOY IS
A MAN!
ALL RIGHT, LOOK!
LUCAS IS RIGHT.
IF WE STAY HERE, WE'RE ALL
SITTING DUCKS.
YOU STAY DOWN HERE WITH YOUR
CRAZY, FUCKING FRIEND.
I'M GONNA TRY IT ON MY OWN.
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
YOU DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT US?
ME?
I'M JUST TRYING TO MAXIMIZE
MY POTENTIAL OF SURVIVAL.
AND IF I HAVE TO STAY DOWN HERE
TO SNIFF YOUR PANTIES, IT'S
JUST NOT WORTH IT.
OH, I SEE HOW IT IS, YOU
PIECE OF SHIT!
IF THAT'S WHAT I HAVE TO BE
TO SURVIVE, THEN, FINE!
WELL, FUCK YOU, YOU CUNT!
AND YOU, YOUR CRAZY-ASS FRIENDS.
STAYING DOWN HERE IS JUST NO WORTH IT.
GREAT IDEA, MAYA.
THIS ISN'T SMART!
LET HIM GO.
NO!
ANGEL!
ANGEL, NO!
NO!
YOU'RE DISGUSTING!
[ ALL TALKING ]
I DON'T CARE ABOUT HIM, BU SHE'S MY BEST FRIEND!
SHE TOLD YOU FOLLOW.
OKAY, OKAY.
FUCK!
GET UP, YOU FUCKING BABY!
WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT?!
THERE'S NO WAY OUT OF THIS
PLACE!
MAYBE YOU COULD BE CONTENT,
SITTING HERE LIKE A PIECE OF
SHIT.
BUT I'M NOT!
WE FOUND OUR WAY IN HERE.
WE CAN FIND A WAY OUT.
[ SIGHS ]

HOW FUCKING WORTHLESS ARE
YOU?!
EVERY TIME WE GET INTO A
SITUATION, YOU FOLD LIKE A DECK

YOU'RE NOT WORTH A BUCKET OF
PETER MURPHY'S PISS.
YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP, ALL
RIGHT?
COWARD!
SO, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
FIND ANOTHER WAY OUT.
OKAY. UM...
UH...WHERE ARE WE?
UM...THE CREMATORIUM!
THE SECRET BACK TUNNEL WHERE
THEY USED TO TAKE OUT THE BODIES
WITHOUT SCARING THE PATIENTS,
RIGHT?
WE COULD GO OUT THAT WAY, RIGHT?
WHEN YOU WERE RESEARCHING
THIS PLACE, DO YOU REMEMBER
WHERE THE CREMATORIUM WAS?
WHAT THE HELL?
[ SIGHS ]
OF COURSE, THEY BRICKED IN
THE FUCKING DOOR.
NICE OF YOU TO JOIN ME.
Yeah.
COULD YOU MAKE ANY MORE NOISE?
LOOK.
THEY TRIED TO BURY THIS PLACE.
YOU DON'T THINK IT'S TRYING TO
DO THE SAME TO US?
RIGHT. PROTECT YOURSELF!
WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE GONNA
DO?
Lucas, I overheard her and
Angel talking, and I'm not
putting my life in the hands of
a fucking crazy person!
OKAY.
WELL, I GUESS WE'LL JUST FIND
THE CREMATORIUM.
IF WE CAN FIND IT, WE CAN FIND
IT.
Okay, I'll find it.
Okay.
MAYA?
WE'RE GONNA FIND A WAY OUT OF
HERE, OKAY?
SO, JUST WAIT RIGHT HERE.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
IT'S LIKE ONE IN 50 DOORS ARE
UNLOCKED IN THIS PLACE.
I WOULDN'T TRUST IT.
THIS PLACE IS BUILT TO TRAP
PEOPLE.
AND I THINK THAT SON OF A BITCH
HAS BEEN DOWN HERE FOR A LONG
TIME.
HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE.
[ SIGHS ]
HE KNOWS WE'VE ONLY GOT ONE
WAY TO GO.
I WONDER WHAT'S THROUGH
THERE.
IT'S NOTHING YOU WANT TO FIND
OUT ABOUT.
