The Hoard (2018)

(WOMAN SCREAMING) (EERIE DRAMATIC MUSIC) Oh my god! (GUNSHOT) (SCREAMING) (EERIE DRAMATIC MUSIC) NARRATOR: 10% of all hoarding cases involve extremely haunted properties. Rockford, Ohio, March 19th, 2017. A group of reality show experts set out to reform a hoarder with several condemned homes. This is how the ultimately reality show turned into a deadly nightmare. (EERIE DRAMATIC MUSIC) Welcome to Extremely Haunted Hoarders. We're gonna make reality show history. And we have made quite the alarming discovery. This is disgusting. I've never seen so much shit in my life. This has been a big job but I'm not done yet. You're gonna clean this fucking shit up right now or you're going to jail. Die you fuck! (SCREAMING) So we have 48 hours to bring this place up to code. One, two, three. Let's get to work. NARRATOR: This is Extremely Haunted Hoarders. Rockford, Ohio was once a booming Lake Eerie shipping hub. Where the industrial East met the sprawling West. Nowadays, Rockford has fallen on rough times. Addiction and hoarding are prevalent. Rockford, Ohio used to be just such a great place. It slid, its way down. Just a fucking dump. Crime rates are high, lots of drug use, crack heads. People are up to move somewhere else to find a job. I love this town. There's a lot to do, there's uh, lot of chicks in this town and I fucking love it. I think Donald Trumps gonna make Rockford, Ohio great again. We got three basic problems in this place. Number on, property values. Number two, drug abuse. Very very bad drug abuse and number three is the hoarding. I know a couple of hoarders, yes. Everybody in this town is a hoarder. We have the most hoarders per capita in the US. (TENSE EERIE MUSIC) NARRATOR: Sheila Smyth and Dr. Lance Ebe have been reforming hoarders across the Rust Belt for the last three years. Welcome to Rockford. NARRATOR: Showrunner Sheila Smyth has rejuvenated hundreds of hoards. Hi, my name is Sheila Smyth and I'm a professional organizer and interior designer specializing in hoarder decluttering. Dr. Ebe's patients have a relapse rate of 94%. In a peculiar way, the patient that we are treating is actually the entire town. Alright, its time to meet our guy. NARRATOR: Meet Murph Evans. 75 years old, born and raised in Rockford. Breakfast? Oh well, I had chicken liver for breakfast. That's a delicacy if you cook it right. Chicken livers are ripe for giving. I get it when its on 50% off. I got to get everything at 50% off. I'm a 50% man. NARRATOR: Murph Evans has been collecting antique furniture and cluttering properties for the last 50 years. This room here looks pretty bad, looks like a lot of stuff. There's art, all of great importance in here but there are some nice things if you, if you search. NARRATOR: Every Sunday, the town convenes at the Rockford auction and Murph Evans is a regular. This is catnip for hoarders. When you go in, you don't know what you're gonna find. The element of surprise that makes auctions so much fun. I believe that the entire town is suffering and is culpable to some degree, in this illness and will have to be treated. It is disorder writ large. Sold for $300 there. Number 110 to buy it. Number 110. Oh that shotgun at the auction. That's a beauty. That's a real treasure. That's a real wall hanger, that one. Piece at a time, piece at time from auctions, that's for sure. (SOFT TENSE MUSIC) NARRATOR: Murph Evans owns at least three condemned properties, that we know of. Named after their former owners. Nobody in the history of reality programs has ever tackled a hoarder with three properties. NARRATOR: The Gothic and forlorn Lemon house. The Manjuris house, Victorian haunt on the hill. The Neiland farmhouse, a former cauliflower ranch. Murph Evans is a phenomenal hoarder. Every time he acquires something and runs out of space, he goes out and finds another house and this is extraordinary, this is a highly evolved, very aggressive form of hoarding. It appears to have ambition. You get so many chairs, you sometimes, got to buy four to get the one you want. Typically the hoarder will stay in one place, like a nest, and cover themselves in filth. In Murph's case, there are satellite nests. There is almost an entity that needs to be satisfied in spite of what I call a typical hoarder's, you know, behavior, which is to be inert, stationary, and filth covered. In Murph's case, he's out going from property to property, auctions, all sorts of things, acquiring these pointless pieces of shit, really and then farming it out to different homes and this is why I think the town is in fact the patient, it is in danger of being taken over by a viral hoarding disorder. He cannot let go of anything. Its a sickness. The place is a pigsty. The man is an animal. Time does run out and energy runs out. (TENSE EERIE MUSIC) So either you smarten up and clean this shit up or we're coming back here, we're condemning the place, you lose everything, alright. You got that? Yes, I worry about my teams, for sure. I mean we'll all be crawling through a twisted mans mind and that can get pretty dangerous. Yeah I think all this reality TV is just a bunch of bullshit. Its just all staged and made up just to entertain the idle people with idle minds. NARRATOR: With the clock ticking before he loses everything, Murph Evans agrees to open his door to our experts in a desperate bid to save his properties. The contractor team has arrived in Rockford to stock up for the job ahead. Grab some of those knee pads, you're gonna need em. NARRATOR: Derek Jago and the Falcon and Toledo's greatest house flippers. Company I represent is the Duke of Hazard. That's why they call me the Duke. Mostly I roll around with a guy they call the Falcon. Name is Tony Fennick, 34 years old. Yeah I've been working with jack off here for about five years. He's a little yappy but uh, that's what ear plugs are for. Promises me a promotion every time but I doubt it. By the looks of it, I don't know, between us, I think he's kind of losing it. He's not so mentally stable. What the fuck? See what I mean? That work for ya? I would compare Duke to being like a sledgehammer and I'm more like a chisel. Hey come on, I know they don't got those in El Salvador but we got em here. So I'm Maltese, very proud of it. Most people don't even know where Malta is. What nationality do it think the Falcon is? Do you accept pesos? I don't know. Korean? Try to keep those little legs up to speed, okay chief? I take shitholes and make em livable. That's a nightmare. I'm the best at what I do. If you get the Duke, you're getting perfection. NARRATOR: With three homes to clean up, the contractors must recruit a local day worker. Holy fuck. Welcome to the jungle. My last job? This is my last job. My name is Charles Ivey. I'm born and raised Rockford. You, come here. No, no. You, you want a job? Yes I do. Get in. Alright. You're missing the beauties. MAN: Don't know what you're missing. (MUMBLES). (EERIE MUSIC) How can we be sure that this is a haunted hoard? Well we can't be sure until we get the team in there processing the site but in Murph Evans case, we know for a fact that several of the properties that he purchased were documented hot zones. NARRATOR: Caleb and Chloe Black are Northern Ohio's most renowned paranormal ghost hunters. I dabble in ESP. Astroplanes, precog, truly connecting to spirits. Caleb here, he's the tech guy. Our outfit in nocturnal frequency has been going strong for five years now. We've been looking for our time to shine. We've been building up the Instagram. Working on the YouTube. Rockford is the epicenter of something. There are so many tainted and scary spirits here. This place is alive. You name it, we've seen it. We got the Zanesville lobster boy. Made a nine hour web series out of that encounter. The Akron chill event. Eighty degrees outside except for this one particular park bench, sit down, freeze your ass off. The Paducah angel. First recorded entity that is bisexual. It was a rough patch for Chloe and I. We are now divorced. So we're lucky enough to be here with one of Rockford's finest. Bylaw Officer Chapman. So can you tell me what would happen if Murph can't get his homes up to code in time? Well he'll lose everything for starters. All his shit, his homes, his dignity. Regional township of Rockford grants me the power to condemn any hoarded houses within 60 days of a violation. Sadly, Murph Evans has 20 of those. So I'm just waiting for the court order to come in before the township can confiscate these properties. So on day one we like to dive right in. What's it gonna take to clear these places and to be honest with you, is it even possible? Each of our teams have been assigned a house to inspect. I personally will be inspecting the farm house with Dr. Ebe and Murph Evans. So you found the Neiland's house. This is the oldest one of all. It was built in 1869. Its almost an Antebellum. Oh sorry, you scared me. Murph Evans? Yeah. I'm Sheila, I spoke to you on the phone last week. I thought there'd be 10 of youse coming today. Well its just for me now. Well you can't get in there. There's a whole bunch of shit piled in there, so you'll have to come this way. Okay. If you'd given me a bit of time here, I could of had some of this stuff piled up a bit neater, but, however. That's okay. Can't change it now. It was a very unique experience for me inspecting the farmhouse. I have never felt this sense of fear anywhere I've been before. Come onto this room here. Have a look at this. It just has this really negative energy about it. Oh my. I can barely walk in here. It's oppressive clutter. I have seen the worst and this is the first time I have felt personally threatened by trash. This is gonna be a bigger job than I thought. Well no, a lot of the stuff I'm not as attached to as they're making out I am. So you have a lot of picture frames. Oh yeah, I got some good ones here. And a lot of these old portraits, you can tell they propped them up after they died and took the picture. A lot of it is just sitting there waiting maybe to find like a mate for it to make up a set or something like that and it may never get used it may always be an orphan just sitting there waiting to find another one like it or the proper place for it. And so do you think there's any, any way you could get rid of a few and just keep some of your favorites? Well I want to match them up for pairs and that before I even think of getting rid of anything. See what you can get for pairs and maybe there wouldn't be many left. Do you think its necessary to keep all of them? Pairs are important. Right. Some things I'm terribly attached to, other things are just kinda sitting there in waiting. Who's this guy? Who's that guy? Oh that's the cutest little teddy bear. I don't know where it ever came from but its so well done, the little, the little, uh, leather pads on the paws and that are just so cute. Oh it is cute. Is this one a keeper? Well I'll keep sure. Yeah? He's cute. He's passed the test, he's cute. (LAUGHS) Everything's cute that's in here. It doesn't matter what it is. Just a room of treasures. And you don't, you don't feel like you could let go of any of them? No, no not many anyway. I'd have to be pretty, it have to be a pretty good day for me, cause I said, I do want to get pairs and things all matched up and I just, sometimes I said there's lots that will never get hung up but pairs are important. NARRATOR: Dr. Ebe peels into two hours late to the farmhouse. Its all about the clock, Ebe therapy. Its crunch time. I don't got, you know, a year to work on a guy with talk therapy or pharmacological cures none of that bullshit. This is like, I got 10 minutes to turn this around. I just look at him like that. Look him right in the eye. I tell him, we don't have time to fuck around. This space we're in right now, what is your plan? Well, get rid of some of the lesser pieces and then the real good stuff, Ross is gonna help me carry them up to the third floor. Who's that, I wonder? Oh that will be Dr. Ebe. How is he gonna get in? Well I'll go and get him from the back. Maybe I can get through. Just a minute. Just maybe we can manage this. See what we can do. There. Well I can't wait for you to meet our doctor, Murph. I don't need a doctor, I need somebody to help me carry stuff up to the third floor. (DRAMATIC EERIE MUSIC) Murph Evans? Dr. Ebe. Get in here at all, is it? Okay. Sheila, how you doing? I'm well. Jesus quick, help me. Help me. Show me around this goddamn place. Okay, come on upstairs. The Neiland farmhouse was a very curious place. It was very hard to move around in that house. It's clearly a maze and a impossible frustrating environment. Just didn't really look like a hoarder house. It looked like a warehouse, frankly, of furniture that was stacked in them most curious way. Mostly it had headboards and settees, a new word I just heard, bureaus, things like that and he knew the provenance of each one. That's the base of a Davenport. That's a seven foot double pedestal Mahogany Georgian sideboard. This is your John Hall Empire. This is another Heinzman, see there you are, Gerard Heinzman. I don't know where we're gonna start with this. NARRATOR: Even Sheila Smyth, a seasoned professional, is apprehensive. She can feel the despair within the walls of Neiland house. Nobody's died here since I can remember but I'm quite sure that back in the 1800s when everybody died at home with the neighbor helping to do whatever they had to do that there probably has been people die here. (TENSE MUSIC) The spirit workers get their first look at the Lemon house. They have the most challenging task of all. The removal of unwanted guests. Mrs. Lemon was sick here for the last many many years. She'd be sitting out on the porch here with all her oxygen goodies on so she lived to be quite old but I don't know whether anyone died here or not. You'd have to, I guess, have a ghost machine or something to find that one out. Alright, infrared thermometer? Got it. Voice recorder? Yep. UV light? Roger that. Flash light? Got it. Blue prints? Check. Laser grid? Roger. Lighter? Check. First aid kit? Affirmative. EVP decoder? That's a big yes. Night vision head gear? Got that, too. Batteries? No. Light meter. Check, check, check yes, got it, yes. Right, looks like we have everything we need here. No we're missing something. Something important. THC incinerator. Kaboom. When we arrived to the Lemon house, it was a disaster. I mean clutter everywhere. The entire house had this vibe of depression and sadness and something definitely had a hold over it. Hey Chloe. Setting up here. NARRATOR: Murph Evans has crammed the Lemon house with his bursting inventory of antique furniture. You can definitely feel something in here. NARRATOR: Psychic, Chloe Black, has isolated an ominous vibration in the first floor parlor room that was the sight of a botched suicide attempt in 1908. Hey Chloe! (SCREAMS) Shit. Oh those ghost hunters. They're stupid as hell. They're running around with them battery charger things roped onto them and they don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. They are really really stupid. (TAPE REWINDING) GHOSTLY VOICE: Hello. All our scopes, meters, dials, and doo hickies were just going off the radar. (BEEPING) I didn't know what to think of it. Hey, Chloe! Where you at? You need to set up the EMT right away. Where? Upstairs. You want them all entirely? (MUMBLES) Everything. We need all hands on deck, let's go. Right got it, we're doing it. Done. (UPBEAT WESTERN MUSIC) We're standing on the porch of the Manjuris house. George Manjuris had died in 48 and there was virtually nothing done with it til I got it in 2000. NARRATOR: The contractors have arrived to the property to determine whether this will be a tear down or a rental job. Alright, listen up, boys. Falcon I'll be watching you like a hawk. Ivey you let me down, I'm gonna fuck you up and down. Jago snapped when he saw the house. New born baby Jesus, this place is a mess. Ease drops, non existent. Stair raisers, completely too small. Shit. Holy fuck, look at the windows. Need all new windows. Who's paying for this? Not you. Falcon, would you look at this foundation? It looks like it was built in 16 fucking fuck me. You're never done fixing. As long as you're living, you'll be fixing. Something will be falling off or rotting away. There's always something. NARRATOR: Little is known about Chuck Ivey and his presence on set is unsettling. How do I describe myself in one sentence? I like to help people. I love the heavy metal music and I love cats. I was pretty excited about the initial inspection of the Manjuris house. I've walked by it so many times. There's, there's so many ghost stories and stuff like that. Where the fuck is Ivey? So we've just finished with the outside inspection, now its time to go inside. Its giver. What are you laughing at? NARRATOR: The pressure is on. The Duke will have to gut and repair three properties in just three days. Obviously stage five mold over here. Shut up, Falcon. That's barely a four. (LAUGHING) So the house has had quite a career but inside its totally original. It has never been renovated. When I walked in there, there was everything from ceilings falling down to looks like fat ladies were having line dance lessons on the floors and it was just a mess. Definitely knobs and tubes got to be changed. Well where do you start? Sulfur in the water. The walls are falling apart. Lead paint. If the Manjuris house is an indication of how the rest of this jobs gonna go. I think its gonna be a tear down. Doesn't seem like the houses are livable as they are now. It's a bit of a maze getting through it but however, we've all done worse. Oh here's something interesting. First inspection of the Manjuris house, what a beauty. Got water damage right here, the wall papers out of control. More water damage up there. We got a broken window. I notice that there's gonna be a lot more work than initially was told. That's par for the course. Looks like a skunk and a raccoon had a fight. Yeah we got our work cut out for us up here. They don't understand, the Duke's got a lot of work to do and just can't pussy fart around at any job. This place is creepy, man. (EERIE NOTES) Still works. NARRATOR: Dr. Ebe sits down with Murph Evans, to conduct his initial assessment. The strategy I'm using with Murph, is something I call intensive short term shame based psychotherapy. I am interested in your feelings. For instance, how do you feel when you see strangers walking around, like we are today, through your frankly disgusting house? Tripping over your garbage. How does it make you feel? Why, do you find me disgusting? To tell you the truth, I prefer to ask the questions myself, okay. Well fire away, then. I don't have one right now. This requires a real beating up of the person. Bruising that personality, making it uncomfortable until its banished completely from the psyche. You know these things are getting thrown out into a bin, right? I don't need no damn bin, I'm not that desperate. The best way to do that is to hold up a mirror and say, look, this is you. The world sees you this way. You're a fucking asshole. Change right fucking now. You get mail here? You ever got a letter? You ever written a letter? You ever opened a letter? Huh, from your sweetheart, you got a sweetheart? I'm not thinking not. Dr. Ebe, he's a mess. He's all flubby and cutty and he's had the good life even though he isn't any good. All this stuff is going into a landfill, You know that. I don't know why. Why would you tear down a house or throw stuff away just cause things need moved or fixed. Mr. Evans, I want you to listen to yourself. There is no running water here. There is no plumbing in this house. There is no heat. How do you live here? I don't live here. What? I don't live here. Hell no, I'm not that stupid. I just use it to store things. Let me get this straight. You don't live here? No. What? No. EBE: Sheila! Yeah, I'm in here. EBE: Word with Ebe, please. What is it, Ebe? You know he doesn't even live here. What, Murph doesn't live here? No. What do you mean, where does he live? I don't know. (STATIC) Are you gonna crack this guy? He seems a little... A little uncomplicated, eh? That's what I think. He's a little uncomplicated. Yeah I've got to get out of here. You know, for a guy with hoarder, uh. Sheila? Yeah, what is it Ebe? God, I love you. Here's a new one, pooper in the pantry. No, no I did not put that there. I'm not to that stage in life yet, that I need a shitter in the pantry. I will have that taken out, if I live long enough. By the time I take it out, probably I will be old enough to need it. I have irritable bowl syndrome, like gut rye. Hangs out of you you name it, its going on down there. Weak stomach. I should of told the guys that but I think it will be okay. These pipes are looking bad. They all need to be redone. Yeah a little PVC. At least the furnace is new. At least the furnace is new. What are you worried about warming your tiny little nuts? (GROANS) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (FARTING) (GROANING) Ah shit. (SCREAMING) Ivey, where are you? I'm gonna (MUFFLED). Get done here now... (SPUTTERING) (COUGHING) (LAUGHING) So when I got blasted through the pipe with shit, you know, most people would fold up and leave right there but you know what? That's not what the Duke does. The Duke's had some adversity in his life. He deserves what he gets. He's just a smart ass, doesn't know shit from puddy. So we've just finished our inspection of the Neiland farmhouse and right now, I guess we're just waiting on you Dr. Ebe. Me? Uh, he is an eccentric with a blind spot. He's doing great damage to himself and I believe that blind spot is pride based. Murph, where you going? Bullshit. Why, where do you think he's really going? I got an idea. Let's follow him in the Trans Am. I took an Ambien, so you'll have to drive. Great. NARRATOR: Sheila and Lance must keep tabs on their patient. There is a high risk of relapse at this early stage of treatment. Where you going, Murphy. There's something us he's not telling us, Sheila. Murph told us he was heading to the Lemon house and as we followed him, we discovered he was going to Value Village, which was quite disappointing to me. Why? Why, Murph? What do you need? Some gloves, a vase, what the fuck? You know, you've got everything. Wait here, I've got this. Okay, just wait. Okay, so I've just followed Murph here, Dr. Ebe and I and not the best way to start day one. He's obviously in there buying some more junk. Watch what you're doing. Sorry. NARRATOR: Just as Dr. Ebe suspected. Evan's is in major setback. The compulsive subject is observed selecting random, pointless items. Hats, shirts, diapers, and baby food. Something I can help you with? No I'm good, thank you. I think its time that you've left. No I was just going, okay thanks. Okay, goodnight. Yeah, thank you. When they caught me at Value Village, I didn't feel really anything. I know a lot of people there and I wasn't buying much. Anyway, its my business. NARRATOR: The ghost hunters must now face the Lemon house. A legendary portal to hell in Rockford folklore. (EERIE MUSIC) Chloe is beginning to suspect that the Lemon house is ground zero for a number of extreme hauntings. There's so many off vibrations in this place. (EERIE MUSIC) Chloe, I'm coming. Caleb, where are you? Bedroom, the end of the hall. Real bad odor. Oh my god, here too. What do you think it is? Familiar smell. Can't quite put my finger on it. Salty sweet. Mostly socks. Oh yeah. Switching to black light mode. Okay fine, socks. Can we please move on now? Oh oh yeah. Copious ejaculate. Someones been whacking off into these argyles. Well at least there's some finery. Oh crusty. Like a burnt pita. This is nice. Biohazard. Call the rental guys. This is gorgeous. At least they had some class. Hang on, Chloe. I'm coming. Do not touch anything. I repeat, do not touch anything. Chloe. Chloe? What? Remove the kerchief. Why? It looks nice, don't you think? Chloe. (GAGGING) Get it, get it off. Caleb get it off, get it off. No I don't want it. Its clear. You're clear What the fuck? (GROANS) NARRATOR: Sheila and Ebe have tracked Murph across town to a mysterious undisclosed location. Behold, property number four. The Maitland house. What is this place? I don't know, Sheila. Oh this is so creepy. God damn it, what's he doing in there? He's keeping all these secrets and I'm nervous that there's gonna be a lot of surprises that we are not anticipating. This is the place. This is what he's been hiding all along. Goddamn it, Sheila. This is gold. (ETHEREAL ROARING) What the fuck was that? Well the Maitland house was a big shock. The fact that Murph Evans was keeping this from us, I can't treat someone who keeps secrets. Stay put. Ebe's gonna check it out. Ebe, Ebe. You're sick in the fucking head. Be honest about it. Don't hide shit and so he hid Maitland's from us and its clearly where it all goes down. That's where it started. I have no doubt and I believe that's where its gonna end up. Ebe, I am the showrunner. You need my approval. What are you, where did you get that jacket from? Ebe, I don't know about this. Goddamn it, Murph Evans, its Doc Ebe. Open this fuckin' door. Okay, I think we should go. This seems dangerous. What an invasion of privacy cause they haven't any clue what they're looking at or what they're doing. Alright, Murph, what's going on in here? What are you guys doing here? What is going on... (COUGHING) Jesus. What is that? I can smell dead animals, dead flesh. It is a disgusting place where perhaps one of the most highly evolved hoarders in my career has amassed a hideous shrine to his internal demon. We ended up discovering this house which had the most horrendous reek coming out of it. That is the smell of rotting flesh. Feces, god damn rotting animals. I don't really know what's in there and I'm so nervous to find out. Okay, I don't understand. Is this a whole other house? Yeah, this is where I live. This is the Maitland house. (STATIC) Okay, we are not going in there tonight. We need some sort of biohazard team here. Alright. You're making me feel bad. Is there any other things we need to know? Any secrets you're hiding? Not that I know of. Would you like the midnight tour? (UPBEAT COUNTRY MUSIC) Okay guys. We got to be super quiet up here cause this attics infested with bees. Well let's be careful because I am extremely allergic. I think. I've had a hell of a time with the bees. They uh, they can move faster than I can and there was many times I wanted to do a job and they wouldn't let me even do it. Shit. Okay get ready. Blast those motherfuckers, Chuck. Oh fuck. Run, you dickheads. Shit, you got to be kidding me. Oh bees in the attic. I tell these idiots to be quiet and what do they do? Make a huge ruckus. I think Falcon little ass got taken out of there by a couple of the big ones. So day one is done and this by far is the shittiest project we've ever done. You okay? Yeah I'm alright. So that's day one in the can. Which is to say the can is empty. We didn't really get much accomplished today at all. In my expert opinion, the Maitland house is ground zero for an entire town of horrors. Except for get to know Murph, that was quite nice. He is, he's quite lovable. There's something about him. The other houses, the Manjuris, the Lemons, and that fucking Neiland shit box really are symptoms, tentacles if you will, extending out, spilling out across this town from the Maitland monster. So tomorrow, we're gonna concentrate our efforts on the Maitland house. And if I can just convince Murph Evans to exercise that monster, then I believe we can solve this bullshit once and for all. NARRATOR: Chloe stumbles upon the third floor attic and discovers more pieces to the Lemon house puzzle. This must be the Lemon family archives. See what we have here. NARRATOR: Meanwhile, on the floor below, Caleb conducts a night vision sweep of Mrs. Lemon's bedroom. (ETHEREAL WHISPERING) From Flossie Lemon. Wonder what she wrote? Dear mother, the pain in this house is so unbearable. I wish you could feel my suf... Oh my god. I think this is a suicide note. That's probably why Murph bought this place a few months after she drowned herself in the bathtub. (BOOMING BANG) Caleb? Was that you? That was not me. (ROCK MUSIC) Got the injunction today to close up Lemon house. NARRATOR: The bylaw officer does not realize he is locking our spiritual detectives inside the house. (EERIE MUSIC) (CAR ENGINE SPUTTERING) What the fuck was that? (EERIE MUSIC) NARRATOR: For the first time in their careers, the extreme ghost team are on the verge of capturing a verifiable supernatural being. (EERIE MUSIC) (SCREAMING) Hurry! We've never found a ghost... Not jerking off, per say. Not jerking off. People just walk in on you and don't really think that this might be your private space. Oh shit. (MUMBLES) did you get that? Holy shit. There was a fucking naked ghost in there. No I didn't think about that, that vagrant at Lemons. I guess he was living under the veranda or something. Hurry up, hurry up. Open the door, Caleb! Its locked from the outside. (SCREAMING) NARRATOR: It is now day two of the Murph Evans intervention. Our team descends bright and early on the newly discovered Maitland house. The Duke and his posse are the first to break the seal on the most extreme haunt in Murph's inventory. Stop! Here we are, day two. New house, new job. New outlook. Well, it was built in 1874 and its had additions right through till the 1920s. Murph, what's popping? I'm the Duke. This heres the Falcon. I told them I didn't need no damn bin. Oh they're terrible. They're sloppy and careless. Come on Ivey, let's go. No the other way. Drop everything and track dirt into everything and they should be doing, working in barns. NARRATOR: The contractors suit up to inspect the Maitland property. They have just one hour to complete their survey and submit their estimates. I think Murph Evans is a great guy. Hopefully we'll be able to clear his house and also clear his mind. Really excited to help you out here. So we can't wait to see the inside, sir. (GAGGING) When we first stormed into the Maitland's house, I was not ready for that. It looked like a tornado and a hurricane got in a fight fist. We got a lot of problems here. We got mold, mildew. (LAUGHING) What are you laughing at, chuckles? You'll be the one scrubbing it. Okay, boys. We got a lot of support problems here. These studs are too far apart. This support walls missing here. The ceiling joints look compromised. They're just in there rumbling and tumbling everything and making a damn big mess. Looks like the kitchen in here. An exposed wires. These pipes need to be insulated. Ceiling looks like its sagging a bit. Stuff was just piled and piled like erratically all over the place. It was rough. You can smell the raw sewage. Probably long backed up and shut down by the town., Its okay Murph, nothing we can't handle. He's a stage five hoarder. You got to remember that when I got this place it was 12 apartments and there was a great deal of damage. So I just got down with the inspection of the inside. And to put it mildly, we're dickered. Not enough time, not near enough money, not good enough employees. Its a tear down from the ground up. NARRATOR: After a rough night, the paranormal team is lucky to have survived. Oh god. Oh god. (PANTING) Last night, uh. Well Caleb cried. Things happened and unexpected events unfold and you just got to roll with the punches. Its part of the uh, its part of the game. Okay so day one was a complete write off but we started day two with a bang. Alright, everyone, listen up. We have a second chance here on day two. So if we can clean the Maitland house, and I mean scrub it clean, reform Murph and give him the tools to succeed with his other properties, then we'll have done our job but I need a status update from everyone. I need to stay on track today. I need to know what you're all going. So ghosties, hit me with the facts. Caleb's gonna do a prelim pan of the house and a general sweep and make sure there's no dirty little secrets hiding in there. Okay, good. Derek, what are your thoughts on the interior? That house is evil. Creepy, it reeks, its fucked. We're gonna need a lot of disinfectant. Yeah well with Murph's approval, we can start clearing a path and start removing stuff. Wait, wait slow down. Dr. Ebe, what are your thoughts? Well I've asked him to throw a couple things out and he just does it. I'm hoping for a little more resistance so I can put on some of the Ebe drama there. But he's not, he's not resisting. So I'm just gonna have to fake it and you know exorcize his demons and get rid of that fear and anxiety. Alright, Murph, are you ready to christen the bin? NARRATOR: The moment of truth has arrived for Murph Evans. If he can pass this test, the floodgates of the Maitland hoard will open. Oh I guess so. (TRIUMPHANT CLASSICAL MUSIC) Okay, you can do this. (CHEERING) Alright, bring it in, everyone. We have 48 hours to bring this place up to code. One, two, three let's get to work. (CHEER) I rallied the troops up and got them all excited, got them working as a team. I have full confidence in Sheila Smyth. I'm really excited to work with her and hopefully its the first of many jobs. Oh yeah, she's great. Very cute, out of my league. That's fine that she knows what she's doing but try to at least let us know what's going on would be nice. (UPBEAT POP FUNK MUSIC) Oh! (UPBEAT POP FUNK MUSIC) (SCREAMING) (UPBEAT POP FUNK MUSIC) (SHOUTS) (TENSE ROCK) Today, we get to shut down the Neiland farmhouse, once and for all. There we go. One less mess in Rockford. Oh the bylaw officer. What a chunk of shit he is. These bureaucrats like that just make you sick. I hate bylaw officers with a passion. They're just self serving idiots. I'd like to just push that bylaw officer off the highest building. So what was this room used for, Murph? Oh it had a bunch of ugly old cupboards in it. They used for a kitchen but I got them all tore out now. Okay. Oh. What is this for, Murph? NARRATOR: Sheila Smyth is alarmed by the discovery of an old box of explosives. Okay, I think this may be a little bit dangerous so we're gonna have to secure this somewhere safe. Oh I'll take her down to the cellar. Is there any other surprises or booby traps I need to be aware of? Oh hell, how would I know? (SOMBER TENSE MUSIC) I'll just put this fucker right here. (LIGHTHEARTED MUSIC) Oh no, no, no. That's part of the therapy. I'm gently removing things without him being aware of it and just to see if he will see the empty space left behind and I do it in the way that I am doing it so that it doesn't go detected but there's nothing in that house that one would steal. I mean I'm a doctor, not a thief. Please, you're insulting me. Boom. (COUNTRY ROCK MUSIC) Whoo! Jesus Christ. You want a mask? Mask, what are you talking about, dummy? Well rotted insulation, asbestos, rat shit. Listen to this, Bosnian Bob Villa motherfucker over here. (LAUGHS) Its your funeral. There's like animal shit. Oh wait, wait. Oh. Oh its a cat. Oh no. Holy shit. (LAUGHING) Clean these pussies up, boys. Holy shit, this is nasty. I've never seen that many dead cats in one house. (CAT MEOWS) That's a dead cat. Dead cat. Dead cat. Dead cat. Dead cat. Dead pussy. Oh no, another one. Dead cat. Dead cat. Dead cat. Oh dead cat. Come get your dead cats. (COUGHING) Dead cat. Cats have a life span, don't they, like any other animal and they just crawl into a hole and die and unless you're on top of it well you just don't find them. We have been experiencing some real activity up here. Chairs. More chairs. Fuck. No chairs. No stairs. Equals a fucking death trap. Murph, why do you have so many chairs, man? Oh well, the chairs, a lot of them are here is an attempt to get sets and pairs and things. And why is it so freezing in this wing of the house? Oh its always been cold. It was added later. Bill, the furnace man, he's supposed to be coming, he was supposed to be here three weeks ago and he hasn't got here yet. Has anyone ever died in here? Well how the hell would I know? No mind is at rest. Nobody is at home in this world. I mean you have to ask yourself what the hell happened? What is out there and why is it trying to hurt us? (UPBEAT TENSE MUSIC) Well, we're just about done back there, now. Perfect. Alright, my turn to shine. (TENSE DRAMATIC MUSIC) Hi, I've got a theory about our friend Murph. It requires you to peck at his attention. Ebe, you know I have asthma. Where's your vape? My vape? Oh I'm cutting down on that shit. Jesus Christ, it will kill ya. Heres my theory. I believe that Murph Evans has compartmentalized his personality. Which means, now keep up with me here, its technical. Part of his personality is not being shared with the other part of his personality. Its complicated but its textbook and that shouldn't be a problem except, its manifesting itself in this unified meticulous, sort of charming personality. Does this make any sense to you? Hey Ebe? You know what this is... Ebe, you want to help me clean up here? You want to make yourself useful? Did you take another Ambien? Oh for fuck sucks. Fuck! Had enough of your shit. Why the fuck you always got to be fucking yelling about stuff? I'm hard on these dumb bitches. What do you fucking expect? This is war. You can do it yourself. Fuck! Damn it. There is some real crazy electromagnetic activity occurring throughout the entire house. Unless this isn't working right. Oh no, its working. Trust me. What is your gut saying? Dude, I've never felt more sick in my life. Maybe you're with child. Caleb, let's get serious. I am feeling a really unresolved presence. Okay Chloe, so what are we talking about here then? We got a ghost, a spirit, a demon, 12 year old girl living in the floorboards long flowing hair? I don't know, Caleb. Murph's dogs, zombies. I don't know. Get the spectrometer and lets figure this shit out. (EERIE MUSIC) and do it quietly. Simmer down. I'm not your fucking dog, aright? Yeah, well your breath smells like shit. I usually can keep my shit together but (SIGHS) that time I kind of lost it. I'm not fucking doing it. Chuck, you do it. No freaking way. How bout I call your fucking parole officer and tell him that I caught you trying to suck Dr. Ebe off cause you're the biggest pervert on the planet? Stand up to him, Chuck. He's a pussy. I think you're just afraid. Oh I'm afraid, am I, golden girls. Okay, daddy will do it. No, daddy will do it. Okay dad. Daddy will do it. What are you gonna do, huh? What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do? You're a delinquent fucking father, get the fuck out of here. Ta da. Nothing in it, pussy holes. No dead cats? (TENSE EERIE MUSIC) Fuck this! What the fuck was that? This house has a lot of surprises and one was when Jago got slimed in face. Fucking hot! Jesus Christ. Told that fucker to wear a mask. Jago is insane right now. He's dangerous, he's becoming a liability and he is completely unstable. I can't deal with this anymore and frankly, I fucking hate this guy. I don't know, its, its like every room, everything in here, is emitting electromagnetic positives which is freaking impossible. What if it is possible, Caleb? What everything in this place is actually possessed? NARRATOR: Shame based therapy is a tough game. Dr. Ebe finds a hole in the way for his daily power nap. (SHOUTING) (TENSE EERIE MUSIC) Are you getting this? Seriously, be careful. Where, what's that? Was anyone here before? It came from that way. (SHOUTING) be careful, Caleb. Get out! Get out. Get out. Hearing the walls screaming at you, get out, get out. That was a bone chilling experience. (HEAVY METAL MUSIC) Fucking house! Fucking fridge. Fucking Ivey. (SHOUTS) Fuck. NARRATOR: Jago's aggravated assault on Ivey reveals a hidden staircase to the cellar. (COUGHING) Fucks that smell? Hey look, jack off. What's for dinner? Get it, cause you ate shit. You two, move these fucking cabinets. You, andale, andale. Hey, bumble fuck, get the dry wall out of your fucking ears and move these cabinets. (EERIE MUSIC) NARRATOR: Midway through day two, a ghastly Maitland secret is unearthed. (SCREAMING) Jesus Christ! Hey doc, Jago needs to talk to you. What is it? We found something. I got you now, Murph Evans. Sheila is gonna shit. Alright guys, listen. We don't jump to any conclusion with this. We don't make any bad decisions. We got to keep our heads. He's probably the furnace guy. Maybe he had a heart attack. Zip it, Mexican Matlock. This is fucking serious. Whoa, whoa, whoa. No racism around Ebe. I think Murph Evans killed this man and that means we all got to be very careful around this guy in the future, okay? From here on in, he is dangerous. What do we do now, doc? This man deserves a proper burial. Okay, you guys go upstairs and divert that idiot and I'm gonna uh, I'm gonna have to come up with a plan. Well at least put a blanket on him. Can we just do another take, that will be alright, cause I just, I felt, need to be a bit bigger and we can nix the Mexican Matlock, maybe? Okay, will that be alright? Look uh, just real quick. Real quick. Thank you, awesome. You guys are great. (EERIE MUSIC) Oh my god. The question is, has Murph Evans every killed anyone in this house. Possibly. Is he capable of killing someone? Absolutely and I think he would go for the weak link in the pecking order, I think that would be Charles Ivey. Poor bastard. Ebe is safe. I think. Sheila, come here. What is it, Ebe? We're running behind. What if I was to tell you we're about to make reality TV show history? Don't pitch me, we don't have time for this shit. Okay, you know what? Murph Evans is a serial killer. Oh for fucks sake, Ebe. He's not a serial killer. I don't even think the guys a hoarder... I found a body! Yeah. Fuck. (EERIE MUSIC) Holy shit, who is he? That, my friends, is the furnace man. Judging by my calculations. He's been dead for a long time. We'll I'd like permission to assemble an arrest team right away. There's no fucking arrest teams, Ebe, you're losing it. Ivey's reliable, he's on probation. What are we talking about here? Well I'll tell you what we're talking about. Last night I witnessed Murph Evans come into this house with baby food and diapers. Motherfucker. Yeah, so that means that there's not only probably a bunch of bodies laying around here. I think there's a very good probability that Murph Evans is raising a small child in this fucking mess. I think I need to call the cops. No, we're not gonna do that. That's the last thing we're gonna do. We're gonna do this in house, folks. We're gonna bring this bad boy home, reality justice style. Extreme arrest team. For fucks sake. I'm calling the police. No, no, no. Let's use our heads. If we call the cops, this show is done. That's the right thing to do. There's a dead man. No cops, no cops, no cops. Okay? Zero cops. Oh god. We're gonna need so many lawyers. That is not my problem. I got to find Murph Evans. I've got to sit down, we got to get an on camera confession. I'm a human being first and I guess a scientist second. When I stand in a place like this, this Maitland house, I, well I feel like I'm witnessing literally the pain of another man. I'm inside of him. I connect with that. Okay listen, Jago, you go grab your hobo junkies, come down here, throw this stiff outside and then move around and see if you can find some more of these god damn bodies. No extreme arrest team? What about a fucking legal team? Okay look. At the end of the day, we arrest him. In the meantime, let's get our before after pictures with the clean ups and everything, let's put it in the can and the job is done, okay? Go team. Ready? (SOFT SOMBER MUSIC) come on. Oh this is fucked up, Chuck. (GRUNTING) I'm not even getting paid for this. Here we go. Okay, you got him? Hold on a sec, I got to turn around. (GRUNTING) Come on. Oh shit, I'm caught on something here. (COUGHING) Ivey come on, I'm gonna puke. Let's go. (GROANS) Ivey, stop resting, let's move this stiff. I'm snagged. Jesus Christ, Ivey. Come on, we're almost there. Let's go. Fish on. (GROANS) What's wrong with your ear? I got hell raisered. What? NARRATOR: The municipal bylaw office has processed the eviction order for Murph's final property. Hurry up with that carcass, boys it smells like big Willy shit himself. Where the hell do you want him? Well put him in the back of the bin for now. The bin? Are you fucking nuts? I think I need a tetanus shot. (POUNDING AT DOOR) Office of bylaw open up. Listen, don't say a fucking word. Take this guy around back while I go distract this fucking guinea pig. They're probably jerking each other off in there. (TENSE MUSIC) Oh, officer chubby chaser. I thought I smelled barbecued pig pussy. Where's that fruitcake Murph Evans? He's upstairs having a bubble bath. Murph Evans hasn't bathed a day in his fucking life. Cut the shit. Murph had a bit of a late one over at the scrub and dub and then needs to wash his mushy bits. Alright look it, I'm here to shut down this fucking show, alright? You and you, this fucking idiot, you're gonna move these vehicles. We're evicting Murph, we're condemning the property. Its done. You guys weren't supposed to be here till Monday. Step aside, sir. I don't know if you've heard, but I don't mind dancing in the daytime at all. Yeah? Yeah. I like to dosie do at night, you and me, nine o'clock, town square. You want to fight? Yeah. How bout I shove your head up your ass and you can fight for air? (GASPING) I got a gift for you. Oh. I thought I smelled dick. Yeah? Well look, I gave you guys two days and now times up. You see that bin over there? Yeah? Wait a minute, wait a minute. All we've been doing here is trying to save this god forsaken town and help Murph Evans by cleaning up rat shit, ghost poop, and donkey dung. And this is the kind of treatment you're gonna give us? Huh? Alright, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. You got one more day and then I come and shutter this dump, alright? Yeah, wise decision. (LAUGHS) (BLOWS KISS) Yummy. Too da loo, fuck head. So far, we've got two dozen dead cats, we got a deceased furnace man, the funky furniture is jamming up my gear. What the fuck is going on here? From the outside, it just looks like a bad mold infestation. What the hell are you doing here? (CLATTERING) (EERIE TENSE MUSIC) (SCREAMS) It's just Murph carrying some chairs. What in the hell is all this shit doing here? These are our headquarters and we need all of this stuff. These are our supplies. This is our work, okay? You even managed to find Uncle Jurgis' old wheelchair. Now we need to ask you a few questions. NARRATOR: Without notifying the team, Dr. Ebe has inexplicably fled the Maitland house. Our cameras tracked him to an antique shop where he appears to be unloading some of Murph's collectibles for cash. Tell us about your home, Murph. Well Uncle Jurgis' and I got it back in 68. He was mum's older brother and he used to call out at the Rockford auction and he was really one of the best. He was a collector and he knew his stuff and he taught me pretty well everything I know. What happened to your uncle? Well he got very sick and lost interest in everything and pretty soon he couldn't move, ended up in a wheelchair. Everything started to pile up and then it got all left on me. I can feel your uncle's presence here, still, and I would really like to talk to him tonight. Well I think that would be a bit of a problem. Chloe, can speak to the dead. (EERIE MUSIC) (SOFT INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) (COUGHING) (SOBBING) NARRATOR: The fractured team retreats inward, each to confront their personal demons. Fuck this. NARRATOR: So begins the darkest chapter in reality television. (SOBBING) Hey. Hey. Hey what's going on, what's wrong? I just, I didn't think the show was gonna pan out this way. I wanted it to do some good. Its not done yet. I'm sure there's still some good we can make from this. Yeah but what's the point if Murph's gonna go to jail? He might as well just forfeit the house to the town. He's not gonna go to jail. But what is it that you want to do? I just want to do a room. Just one room? Just one room, just one before and after because that's all we told everyone we're gonna do. So let's go find you a room to redo. So here we are in our home base and it has come to our attention that there is a massive and I'm talking massive. Big. Energy source directly below where we're standing right now. NARRATOR: Dr. Ebe has become unrecognizable. His mind is now riddled with the very disorders he has failed to cure. Hey, Murph, how you doing? Have a seat please, buddy. Murph, hi, how are? You like that settee? Oh the settee, I love the settee. I love the settee. NARRATOR: On the other hand, as the shows falls into the abyss, Charles Ivey finds his purpose in decluttering the second floor. Fantastic city settee, eh? Well that's John Hall Empire at its best. John Hall Empire? And what about that, is that a John Hall Empire? No, that's Eastlake, Eastlake. Eastlake? Yeah. Its lovely. Murph, I want to start to ask you a few questions, okay, if I can? Just a couple questions about the place, about the place. The really strange thing, I woke up this morning and, and I uh, I figured out how many, how many things were in the house. It came to me. It was a number, 12,800 there was a certain number of things in the house. A certain number of things and the number is 12,000. Say it to me, say it to me. Say it to me. 12,000. 12,587. We both know this. Oh. Its about me and you. Really at the end of the day, its about me and you. Its about being... Are you alright? It's about. Hey. You guys, I found another door here. By the looks of it. I think that's Murph's secret. Sheila! You're gonna want to see this. Where's the diapers, Murph? Where's the diapers? Where's the fucking diapers? NARRATOR: Of all the secrets that Murph has hoarded, nothing can prepare the team for what comes next. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm so scared. What are they gonna find? I got to stop them. I got to stop em! (EERIE TENSE MUSIC) Oh god. (GAGGING) (COUGHING) What the hells in there? I don't know. Looks like its moving. (EERIE MUSIC) Caleb, are you getting this? Ebe. Ebe, what are you doing? Get a grip. Oh my god, the smell. Holy shit! Oh I see you found Uncle Jurgis. Murph, you got to tell us about stuff like this. Is he alive? I mean borderline. How old is he? He's 103. I'm Dr. Ebe and these are my friends are we're here to help your nephew, Murph Evans. (GUTTURAL OTHERWORLDLY SPEECH) That's Latin and its backwards. Jesus Christ. No it isn't. Its Lithuanian. Came over on the boat in the 20s. Same thing, dead languages. (GUTTURAL OTHERWORLDLY SPEECH) What's he saying Murph? Oh he's calling you a thief. Don't translate. Don't, just don't like that, don't translate. I don't trust it. Ghost humpers. You know you're way around a demonic possession? Well we can most certainly try. Alright, you're my support crew. I'm going in. I'm gonna make contact with the entity. Is Uncle Jurgis in there with you? (DEMONIC SPEECH) (REPEATING DEMONIC SPEECH) (SCREAMING) Jesus Christ, holy shit. He said, we're all afraid to die. What does that even mean? I don't know. It sounds legit. Murph. Murph? Where the hell did Murph go? He's gone. Let's get the fuck out of here. Let's clear out. For fucks sake. Jesus. I just can't believe what we found in there. This, it just seems like a nightmare. Just one thing after another. Our team doesn't even know what kind of phenomena we're dealing with here. There's another hoarder, there's two. Stop finding fucking rooms. What the fuck was that? (LAUGHS) I don't know but on the bright side, no dead cats. No I'm talking about the dead disgusting fucking uncle. I'm worried about Ebe. He is acting so erratically. He's starting to just unravel and I'm worried about this whole place is getting to him. Uncle Jurgis is the primary holder. Its a (SPEAKS FRENCH) its a madness of two and that's why this thing to so goddamn huge. We can't get any readings in the room but as soon as you step outside. Readings are off the hook. Why? I thought it was cool meeting, you know, Murph's Uncle. It was pretty sweet. Holy fuck. Ebe? Ebe? What the fuck are we supposed to do? Well Murph Evans is not a hoarder. Well then what is he? Complicated. You care to enlighten us? Think of it as a force multiplier. Madness squared. One is dominant, the other submissive and together, they are increasing the evil exponentially and I also believe that just in being in this house, around this mess, we are all part of the equation. Murph Evans is not Murph Evans. He has become something else. We have never met Murph Evans. So you're saying Uncle Jurgis has created this Murph? I believe that Murph Evans thinks that the trash of this house, the mess, the things that are collected within its walls, are keeping the uncle alive and I think the uncle believes that too and you know, I'm starting to myself. So where are we supposed to go from here? I don't know. I'm not a medical doctor. I'm a failed nurse practitioner. I know, I'm sorry. Look, I think we're all going to jail after this. Chloe, Caleb, what do you guys think? We definitely know that there is an evil entity in this space, for sure. Yep, of course you guys do. I'm sorry, that was rude. I didn't mean it. I mean I've just been given a lot of shit right now and I think its time to shut it down. Why don't we regroup tomorrow and we'll sort out what to do. Ghosties, I need you guys to stay the night. What do you want us to do? I want you to just monitor the floor. For what? For ghosts or demons, I mean do your job. If anyone experiences a mental disturbance no matter how small, no matter how subtle, report immediately to me and you're gonna have to leave the show. I'm very sorry, I'm afraid that's just gonna have to stand. When was the last time you saw the Duke? (COUGHING) Oh man. (GAGGING) Should I call Dr. Ebe? No Ivey, Dr. Ebe is a fraud. Shut the fuck up, Falcon. Fucking nuts. Ivey. (COUGHING) Ivey. I don't think I'm gonna be able to make it to the end of the job. Okay, let's go to the hospital then. (COUGHING) (WHISPERING) The fucking cupboard. (SOMBER MUSIC) Those are yours. Those are for you, Duke. Duke? You're fucking kidding me? Duke fucking Ivey. The hold that Uncle Jurgis has over Murph Evans is all powerful and is it too late? Well yes of course it is. Its always too late when you're in the care of Ebe. There have been so many curve balls today. I mean it seems almost trite to point out how far behind we are. I mean there really isn't a show anymore Its hard to know where the nephew begins and where the uncle ends. Patient, doctor. I don't know what the fuck to do anymore. Let's go take a peek at Uncle Jurgis. We have to check his vitals. (TENSE EERIE MUSIC) (TENSE DRAMATIC MUSIC) God. What is it Chloe? Uncle Jurgis is dead. Or undead. I don't know, there's no pulse. He's cold as a stone. That's a first for us. I know. What are you doing? I'm going to take a picture. Why? For the Instagram. We're losing followers. Now make a pretty face. (CAMERA CLICKS) (ROARING) (SCREAMING) Damn it, Caleb. I feel like shit, to be honest with you. I feel like I've let everybody down. Like I'm still processing that we found a dead body. This whole thing was a mistake. The job, the house. My life. I know I was supposed to be leading this show but I'm stuck. I don't know where to go. I think its all over, for all of us. Personally, I feel like we're kicking ass. I don't know what we're gonna do and I'm not looking forward to this day or this conversation. NARRATOR: Showrunner Sheila Smyth has assembled the team on the morning of day three to make an important announcement. Okay, guys. Its day three, look alive. This production meeting is to determine the way out of this mess. So I believe we already have an unbelievable amount of shit in the can but here's the problem. This production team has gone feral. You teams have done some fucked up shit and I don't even know where we stand. I need direct talk. I need to know what's going on with everyone, no matter how fucked up it is. Ivey? Yes, ma'am? What happened to Jago? I think, I think he may be a zombie. What do you mean? Does he need medical help? Alright, here it is. The uncle is exerting some kind of a mental control over Murph Evans and they've taken that practice of hoarding and they've kicked it up a notch to killing. Serial murder. I believe that the uncle's nervous system is sympathetic to the contents of this house. Okay I have no fucking clue what you just said. Chloe, you look scared, what's going on? Uncle Jurgis is dead. What? Well, undead. We confirmed that last night. So we have an undead uncle and possibly an undead Jago. Do I have that right? I think this show is completely fucked and I think its really time to call the police. We have no fucking choice. I have no choice. None of this is gonna go to air. We're probably all gonna go to jail. Okay, so if we come forward now, maybe they'll be able to help us. I'm sorry guys, I failed you. No, I'm sorry. When we set out on this project, when Sheila Smyth gave us the call, she knew it was gonna be a tough one but she called you, and you, not you, we picked you up, but why? Because each and everyone of you is the very best. But its not about us. Its about that sweet, crazy man, and his bad habit of what? He keeps old shit. Lots of it. Is that a bad habit? No, its a fucking statement. In this fucked up world that's choking us with disposable consumerism. Maybe one man and his collection of Queen Ann chairs is saving us from ourselves. Where we are. Right now. At this crossroads, and where we'll be is up to us. Don't you people see what we have here? Yeah I was stung by a dozen bees, Jago ate shit. We found a dead body. Chloe and Caleb, you found an undead uncle. Isn't that amazing? And Ebe, oh sweet Ebe, this whole Murph Evans is a serial killer shit that fell into your lap is the best thing that could ever happen to you. (LAUGHING) I only have one question for you. Let's hear it. Do you want to make history? Huh? I can't fucking hear you! You know you want to make extreme fucking history. Yes we do! Yeah we do! So let's fucking do it. (SHOUTING) (CHEERING) Oh my god, oh my god. (CHEERS) Okay you heard the man. Battle stations, let's get to work, people. Let's do this. NARRATOR: In spite of all rational arguments to the contrary, the crew has resolved to move forward. God damn it this is a glory day! I feel so pumped up. Do you hear that Falcon? Jesus he pulled it out of his ass. Sheila was a bit of a downer then the Falcon stepped up. I'm a brand new Ebe. I am a brand new fucking Ebe right now. Who knew that tiny little garbage man had so much energy in him to excite a group of people. What a difference a morning makes. The Falcon woke up this morning very upset but now he's pumped and ready to get the job done. I cracked open a new toothpick. The day is young. And we're back on track with what we came here to do. Which is change Murph Evan's life. I'm going upstairs right now. I'm gonna cure Uncle Jurgis. I have no fucking idea how I'm gonna do that but goddamn it, with the Falcon and Smyth, we can do it. (UPLIFTING MUSIC) Hey. Hey. I wanted to thank you. For what? I think I freaked everyone out there. No, no, you were amazing. Really? Yeah. What you have to do now is go find Murph. Where, I don't even know where to look for him. Thrift store, his other places. He's a creature of habit. It can't be that hard. Okay. Alright? When you do that, you get back, I'll make sure this entire house is clean and spic and span, top to bottom. Really? Promise. You're amazing. You are. Hurry up. (TENSE STRING MUSIC) I hear around the set that you've been abusing cocaine. There you go. You got a bump for Ebe, a little Billy goat? A little toot? (ROCK MUSIC) NARRATOR: The bylaw officer's curiosity is persistent and potentially fraught with danger. I've been waiting a long time to lock this place up. (ROCK MUSIC) what you doing in there, Murph? Probably jerking off with that skeevy doctor? Wake up, Murph. Jesus Murphy. You guys knew about this? (SCREAMS) We got a major temperature drop. 15 degrees down. Oh my god. Dude its moving, its moving on its own. We got some major indexicles happening over here with this item. Everything in this place is alive and its touching this entire house. Are you getting this? Hello, Jurgis. You got a minute, huh? Murph wouldn't hurt a fly, would he? This is all you. Well I got some news for ya. I got a team down there right now. You know what they're doing? They're taking stuff and they're putting it outside. They're putting it into a god damn bin. And its gonna get dragged to a land fill. One thing at a time. Oh look at this. Gone. That thing over there, gone. They're gonna clean it all up, shine it all up. Make it fucking purty. But what's gonna happen to Uncle Jurgis? Huh? What's gonna happen to you, buddy? Oh I think you might just slip away. Buh bye! (LAUGHS) Duke, help, Duke! I'm trapped. Oh. (EERIE TENSE MUSIC) Help! (SCREAMING) Can't take this shit with ya, you know? (DEMONIC WHISPERING) But I can. (LAUGHS) (DEMONIC SHOUTING) stop it. What are you doing? Stop it! (SHOUTING) (DEMONIC CHANTING) What are you doing? Sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. (DEMONIC CHANTING) Oh fuck. Just put it in. All I need to do is fuck up my back after today. Fucking job from hell. Bodies, fucking bird shit. Holy fuck! Jago, what the fuck did you do now? Jago! Jago! I'm fucking sick of this. Out of my face. (LIGHTHEARTED MUSIC) NARRATOR: The bizarre lightness of Sheila's demeanor illustrates a psychotic break at the core of this production. Murph, please come back. I'm done with this. You've done nothing wrong. You're the only normal person in this whole fucking show. I just don't get the point. I know, we really really messed up but we're trying to fix things. We need you back there. Come and see what we did with the Maitland house and please come back. Jago, are you down here? Holy shit. (TENSE EERIE MUSIC) I found another dead body. Somebody killed the bylaw guy. Jago, are you down here? (TENSE MUSIC) Duke? Jesus motherfucking Christ. Duke! Oh shit, Christ. What the fuck? The junk can move on its own. Controlled by the uncle? Or does it control him? Dude, Ebe was totally right. The uncle and the house have a symbiotic relationship. Chloe, I think that this is real. Like really real. Like realer than anything we've dealt with. Oh, for sure. Its 100% real but the real question is how much of this stuff was bought from dead people? Well all of it. Yeah, all of it was owned by dead people. Its from estates, its from auctions. From Salvation Army sales. Every piece of furniture, every piece of clothing, every item in this house is a monkey's paw. Cursed possessions. Second hand hauntings. Jesus, Caleb. What? There are thousand and thousand of entities in this place. Thousands? That's too many. What do we do? They all reside in Uncle Jurgis. What about Murph? No. He's too pure. He's too simple to be controlled by but the uncle, that's another story. Right, right. Yeah that's what I was thinking. So what are we doing then? What should we do? I've never experienced this before. Have you? Listen. You need to go downstairs and you need to kill Uncle Jurgis. And. (EERIE TENSE MUSIC) Here. Use this. That'll do. (EERIE MUSIC) Go. Just kill him. Yeah, you can do this. You can do this. I didn't sign up for this. This is not a paranormal investigation. I'm sorry. I really do not want to do this, you demonized gruesome uncle but. I really don't. (GUTTURAL SHOUTING) No, uh uh. (ROARS) (TENSE EERIE MUSIC) (ROARS) Caleb? Ebe? What are you doing here? Well. We should never have come here. Its okay, its okay man. I stole things and I reduced the number of things. Its this house, okay? Its got a hold of you. Okay its got a hold of... (GRUNTS) (TENSE EERIE MUSIC) NARRATOR: Unknown to the showrunner and her star, what was once a struggle for purpose is now a struggle for life and death. You ready? Wow, this place looks amazing. Yeah, its starting to look bigger already. Ebe? Falcon? Where the hells everybody anyway? They must be upstairs waiting for us. Let's go. Okay. (SCREAMS) Get the fuck out of the way. (DEMONIC SHOUTING) What the fuck is he doing? He hasn't been out of bed for 30 years. Somebody sure pissed him off. (SCREAMING) What do we do? You crazy old bugger. Back off. (ROARING) (SCREAMING) (ROARS) Holy shit. Shit. (SHOUTING) (ROARING) Ebe, thank god we found you. (SCREAMING) Get out of the way! (SHOUTING) (TENSE DRAMATIC MUSIC) (SHOUTING) (GROANS) Murph! Murph! Murph. You failed us, Murph. You had one fucking job and you failed it. For fucks sakes, you failed. How does it make you feel? Feeling? Want to see what I got at the auction? (GUNSHOT) well how'd you like that? (GUTTURAL ROARING) (SCREAMING) Hey, duchess. Measure twice, cut once. (SHOUTING) Die you fuck. And I'm Maltese, bitch. That's why they call me the falcon. That's a cut. Lets get the fuck out of here. (ROAR) Ivey? Oh, Charles. Oh fuck, let's get out of here. Go, go, go. (GOOFY DRAMATIC MUSIC) What are you still doing here? Let's go. Get the hell out of here. What the fuck everybody, what's wrong with you? Go, go, keep it going. Oh my god, there's no way out. Fuck! Fuck, how do we get out. Shit. Fucking help us! Help, help. There's no way out of here. (GROANS) Falcon, no. Falcon. (SOBBING) (DEMONIC LAUGHTER) (ROARING) Fuck you. (GUNSHOTS) (ROARING) Are you okay? No, I'm not okay. Is the show over? Yeah, the show is over. (ROARS) (SCREAMS) What are you doing? I knew this would come in handy. (TENSE DRAMATIC MUSIC) Hurry, quick. There, you finish the job, okay. (DEMONIC LANGUAGE) (EXPLOSIONS) (COUGHING) Are you okay? Its over, its okay. (SOMBER PIANO MUSIC) (SOBBING) (SOMBER PIANO MUSIC) NARRATOR: Following the explosion and destruction of the Maitland house, Murph consolidated his remaining properties and opened an antique store on main street. We're back in Rockford after 10 months and I'm here with Murph Evans who has completely transformed his life. He's sold some of his properties and he was able to reinvest in this beautiful antique store. Something that him and I designed together, which was a very long process, but so rewarding. Its fantastic what we've been able to do together and I'm really really proud of him. You've done such an amazing job. How do you feel, Murph? Well I'm feeling just great. I feel like a new man. You helped me achieve my dreams, all this stuff now, it can't be called junk any more. Its called either treasures or merchandise, and its all a credit to Sheila. Thank you, Murph.
