(slow soft music)
(birds softly chirping)
- Hey, buddy, what's up?
Okay,
What do you say we turn that frown upside down?
- It's a little early for that, isn't it?
- Are you kidding me?
Out here it's never too early for a cold one,
(beer can pops)
All right, let's go for a walk,
Might do you some good,
Come on,
(birds chirping)
You look like shit,
- (laughs) Thanks,
- You're welcome,
Get enough sleep?
- Rough night,
- Nightmares back again?
- Never left,
This one was a little different,
but they always end the same with her in,,,
Look man, we don't have to keep doing this,
- Yes, we do, it's why I'm here,
Man, you've got to do something about those dreams of yours,
- Tried,
They're just getting harder and harder to shake,
- Then move on,
(slow soft music)
- I can't do that, Alex, you know that,
The tree over there is where I met Anna for the first time,
Down here by the water is where we had our first kiss,
This is her home, our home,
I tried to leave, but I can't,
It's just,
I can't,
(birds chirping) (slow soft music)
- [Brett] You always did love the sunsets,
- Every sunset is beautiful,
- [Brett] Remember that day down by the lake?
It was a lot of fun, good times,
- Of course I do,
Simpler time, when we were happy,
- What do you mean?
We're happy now, aren't we?
(slow soft music)
I had a dream about you last night,
Been dreaming about you a lot lately,
What do you suppose that means?
You were out in the lake by yourself, rowing,
I was calling and calling for you,
but you wouldn't answer,
I don't know, maybe you couldn't hear me
all the way out there,
I mean it was a dream, after all,
And then you turned to me and you waved,
And like that (snaps) you were gone,
It's hard to believe just how quickly
the darkness creeps in all the way out here,
- [Anna] The night will fall,
- What did you say?
Anna,
No, no!
(frantic panting)
(soft piano music)
(phone ringing)
- Hey, buddy, everything okay?
- I, um, sorry for calling so late,
- It's okay man, I'm still working,
What's up?
Brett, you there?
- I'm here,
You were right,
I need to get away from this place,
- You want me to make the call or not?
- You really think I should go to Sofia?
- I do,
It's an amazing city and with your background
you're a perfect fit for the gig,
Go try it for a few weeks,
If you don't like it, come back here
and we'll get back to drinking beer,
figure something else out,
Thanks,
Well? - Who's the client?
- Let's make the call and find out,
(birds trilling)
- Make the call,
- [Alex] You ready?
- I'm ready, I'll call you when I get there,
- Ya sure, and remember,
you don't like it, we go to plan B,
- What's plan B?
- There is no plan B, now get the fuck out of here,
- Take care of her for me, all right?
- Yeah,
(engine starts)
(intense dramatic music)
(plane engine roaring)
(plane tires screeching)
(speaks foreign language)
- Ah, American?
- Yeah, Los Angeles,
- I, I speak American,
I mean, I speak English, but you know what I mean,
Where do you learn to speak Bulgarian?
- My wife,
I've lived in Varna for the last three years,
A little rusty though,
Haven't, don't really speak it much anymore,
(slow intense music)
(speaks foreign language)
(soft eerie music)
(doors creaking)
- It survived the bombing,
- Excuse me?
- The building,
You were wondering why it looks so out of place
in a street like this, - Okay,
- It was the only one that survived,
- The rogue missile back in '99 hit here?
- Oh, no, that was further out,
Closer to the Serbian border, in fact,
This building is much older than that,
- Sorry,
Who are ya?
- I'm sorry,
Please, forgive my manners,
I'm Martin Barker and this here
is my associate, Goran Stoichkov,
We've been expecting you, Mr, Anderson,
Or may I call you Brett?
- Brett's good,
So you two own this place?
- No, well, Martin runs it and I assist him,
but the property actually belongs to a firm in the US,
- Let's go inside,
Do the interview in my office, I can show you around,
(soft piano music)
- [Brett] Wow,
Impressive,
- Yes,
It's really something else, isn't it?
Come on inside,
- Tell me, Brett,
How many years have you been
at the Los Angeles Police Department?
- 15, retired four,
- How many years have you been living in Varna?
- Uh, three years and some change,
- (laughs) If you don't mind me asking, why Varna?
I mean, it's a strange choice for an American,
- Went there on vacation and never left,
- [Goran] Varna is where you met your wife, correct?
- My wife?
Yeah, I met her at a lake there,
What does that have to do with the interview?
- I must apologize, Brett, but I'm sure you can understand
given the position on offer,
it's important for us to know as much as we possibly can
about any potential candidate,
- Maybe I missed something on the job description,
but what does my dead wife have to do
with me being hired or not?
- I'm sorry, Brett,
I,
we didn't mean to offend,
It's just that the company we work for
is a little bit particular
about who they employ as security here at the Zahari,
Please,
Forgive me,
And I am sorry about your wife,
- Thank you,
- Do you have any plans to return to the U,S,, Mr, Anderson?
- Call me Brett,
And no, I consider Varna my home now,
- Coffee? - No, thank you,
- You don't speak any Bulgarian, do you?
- Ah, a little,
Enough to make myself understood, you know,
- In any case, language isn't really
an essential requirement for the job,
But, I think that's good to know,
- So what is an essential requirement?
- (sighs) Well, whilst there's nothing
particularly demanding about your position,
Goran and I, and more importantly the management,
expect a certain type of discretion,
- I see,
So, what kind of business do you guys run out of this place
other than four apartments in a three story building?
Sorry for the questions, you know, old habits die hard,
- It's perfectly okay,
We store our own products in the basement of the building
and we run a property real estate company out of the office,
You know, it generates a little bit extra money,
income throughout the year,
- What sort of products?
- Come,
Let me show you something,
This elevator is nearly as old as the building itself,
- [Brett] Judging by that key I can tell,
- It's old, but it definitely works,
- [Brett] Maybe we should take the stairs?
- I want to show you the basement,
And the only way to the basement is with this elevator,
- What if there is a power outage?
- It automatically switches to a hydraulic system,
There is a panic button that is wired directly
to our office, as well as our cell phones,
In any case, that's never happened,
(elevator beeping)
- [Brett] Hope it stays that way,
(lock clanks)
- Fascinating,
- Certainly is,
- What's on the top floor?
- The penthouse,
The owner of the company stays in the building
from time to time,
- So, you have to use the key
every single time you use the lift?
- Every time,
Won't work otherwise,
- There's two keys,
I have one on me all time,
You have the other,
(slow eerie music)
The basement is deep underground,
Takes a minute,
(elevator rumbles)
- You're going to need the key
to get in the basement as well,
(locks clanking)
(door creaks)
- This way, please,
In here you start the most important part of your routine,
8:00 a,m, sharp, every morning,
- Some pretty vintage equipment you got here,
- [Martin] It all serves a purpose,
- What are all the monitors for?
- Follow me,
(keys rattling)
(slow eerie music)
- Wow,
What do you keep back there, King Kong?
- This is our storage hangar,
We seldom use it and you won't ever need to venture inside,
- What do these symbols mean?
- [Martin] What we discovered is these are actually letters
from the Enochian alphabet,
Unfortunately, we just don't know what they mean,
- It's pretty sturdy as you can see,
- Yeah, makes you wonder what it was built for,
- Anyway,
The monitors in the other room are connected
to security cameras inside the hangar,
Come,
All the cameras are connected to this computer
which records 24 hours a day, seven days a week,
- How do you see anything with the lighting in there?
- We had the building rewired several years ago,
Just didn't have time to do the hangar,
So until we do, this is all we got,
- Is there sand on the floor?
- The inside of the hangar was never finished,
So yes, what you are looking at is grit and sand,
- So, say I take this job,
What exactly is it that I do when I come down here?
- Okay,
You use this computer to check recordings every day,
twice a day,
It's a simple piece of software which is designed
to red-flag anything out of the ordinary,
All you have to do is click
on one of the flagged recordings
and it brings it up on the screen,
There's a log book over there,
You need to sign it and fill it out
every time you come down,
- When was the last time something came up?
- [Goran] Never,
(Brett laughs)
- What do you need all the cameras for then?
- To protect our interest,
- How large is this space?
- Cameras have been placed throughout
so we can see what we need to see,
- That is if you can see anything at all,
I mean, I never go in there?
- [Martin] No,
Just come down, check the recordings
and make sure you fill that log book out,
- But if you notice anything out of the ordinary,
and we mean any--
- Goran's trying to say, is even if you get
the slightest inkling of something strange,
you have to let us know as soon as possible,
- Like what?
- I wouldn't worry about it,
I mean, you've seen the size of the door, right?
- That's a good point,
- However, if you do see something strange use this,
You press speed dial one
and someone will answer and instruct you what to do,
- Someone?
- An employee,
Consultant, if you might,
- So, that's it?
- [Goran] That's it,
- Well, Milan said something about an apartment,
- Yes,
There's a two bedroom apartment on the first floor,
I mean, it's small, but it's cozy,
Has cable TV and all the bells and whistles,
So, but that's only if you're interested,
- I'm interested,
- Great news,
Welcome aboard,
- We'll need to sign some papers upstairs,
Then we can show you where you are staying,
- Alright,
(soft piano music)
- Welcome to your new home,
- You should find everything you need in here,
- This is great,
Thanks,
- [Goran] Here's my contact details,
We are not here every day,
so if you need anything at all just call,
- When do I start?
- Tomorrow, (laughs)
One last thing,
Please remember to always lock the front main entrance
every night, 11:00 p,m, to 8:00 a,m,
That's it,
- I'll drop by later to leave the keys
to the main entrance,
- Great,
Where do I get a bite to eat around here?
- There is a restaurant across the street
or you can try the café around the corner,
- Alright,
Thank you,
- Oh, and Brett,
- Yeah?
- Make yourself at home,
(soft piano music)
(birds trilling)
(deep ominous humming)
(clock ticking)
(intense screeching)
(gasps)
(panting)
(door creaks)
(deep rumbling)
(ominous bass rumbling)
- Hello?
Hello?
(Brett gasps)
Sorry,
Wait!
Yeah, these guys, uh, they are a little strange,
(laughs) And I think I almost gave the cleaning lady
a heart attack when I bumped into her,
Yeah, just scared the crap out of her is all,
But you're right about this job being a walk in the park,
there's nothing to it,
Yeah, I don't really do anything,
I'm just being paid to, I guess,
watch a bunch of empty rooms,
Yeah, yeah, I'm here,
Thanks, man,
Well, maybe you should consider visiting me,
Maybe you'd actually be inspired to write something
that people would want to read,
(laughs) I'm just saying, man,
I've read coloring books with better character development,
(laughs) All right, bye,
(speaks foreign language)
American coffee, please,
- Uh, you don't want that shit, (laughs)
Can I offer you a real coffee instead?
- Well, I happen to love that shit, but sure,
I'll go ahead and try one of your so-called coffees, sure,
- Take a seat,
(soft radio music)
I saw you yesterday,
In the cab, while I was cleaning outside,
Visiting someone?
- Actually I just took a job around the corner,
- At the Zahari?
I thought that place was some sort of a retirement home,
- Yeah, I'm not exactly sure what it is,
- Not bad,
- Told you,
- Brett,
- Welcome to Sofia, Brett,
I'm Zara,
Uh, so, um, what kind of work do you do
over there at the Zahari?
- Security,
- Security?
For what?
I never see anybody going or coming from that place,
- When I figure it out I'll let you know, (laughs)
Is this your place?
- No, I just, I just work here,
This pays the bills while I study for my Masters,
- What are you majoring in?
- Art history,
So, (laughs) pleasure to meet you,
- The pleasure is all mine,
(soft orchestral music)
(children laughing)
(footsteps scampering)
(sighs)
Christ, Brett,
(keys jingling)
(soft intense music)
(lock latches)
(crickets chirping)
(birds trilling)
(glass clattering)
- Coffee?
- [Brett] Please,
- [Zara] Did you catch that storm the other night?
- [Brett] Yeah,
- [Zara] Kept me up all night,
- End of the world, I tell you,
- I saw a removal van parked outside,
All moved in?
- Are you spying on me, Zara?
- No, I, (laughs) there's nothing else to do
around these parts except watch people,
(soft jazz music)
So, tell me, Brett,
how does an American man wind up in Bulgaria
working as a security guard?
- It's a long story, but the short version is
is once upon a time I was a cop in Los Angeles,
So a security job seemed to fit,
- And you what, came to Bulgaria
just to watch other people's stuff? (laughs)
- Not exactly,
I flew in from Varna,
That's where I live,
Well, lived,
- Live, lived?
- It's a long story, (laughs) like I said,
I retired there,
- A little young to be retired, aren't you?
- I'll take that as a compliment, thank you,
- Did you know that your building
is quite famous around these parts?
There are a lot of history behind those walls,
- Yes, so people keep telling me,
- I've only ever read about it,
never actually been inside but,
this place has weathered a lot over the years,
- Never been inside?
- [Zara] Uh, no,
- Well, maybe sometime you can come by,
I could show you around,
I mean, it's pretty spectacular inside,
It would also liven up what is usually a very boring day,
Call me and we'll set something up,
- I would if I had your number,
- Let me see your phone,
(phone softly beeps) Well, now you do,
(gate creaks)
(intense dramatic music)
(phone alerts)
(suspenseful bass booms)
What the,,,
(eerie suspenseful music)
(phone ringing)
- [Jacob] Ya?
- Yeah, um, I was told to call this number if something,,,
- [Jacob] What's the problem, Mr, Anderson?
- Uh, (laughs) well, actually I'm not sure,
I'm not even positive I saw something,
it's just that,,,
- I'm on the way, Mr, Anderson,
Meet me at the front of the building in,
shall we say, 15 minutes?
- Sure,
Who is this I'm talking to?
Hello?
- Wait please,
Mr, Anderson?
- Uh, yeah,
Sorry, I didn't realize--
- Don't worry, Mr, Anderson, you are not the first,
And you certainly won't be the last,
Jacob,
- Pleasure to meet you, Jacob,
- He's been paid, Mr, Anderson,
- It's Brett,
- Ah,
Well then, Mr, Brett, would you be so kind
as to escort me downstairs to the basement?
- Absolutely,
This way,
Watch your step,
- I wasn't always blind during my time here,
Ah, I remember it like the back of my hand,
- I'm sorry, you worked here?
- For some time, yes,
What did the camera record?
And again, I remind you, Brett, please, in detail,
- It's just a blur,
I mean, it looked like the shadow
of something moving really fast,
I tried to play it back slowly
and I couldn't make anything out,
- I'm going to need you to play it back,
Frame by frame,
And take me through everything you see on the screen,
- [Brett] It's a couple of frames is all there is,
I mean, it's less than a second,
- Can you make anything else out?
You said it looked like a shadow,
Shadow of what?
- Honestly, Jacob, I have no idea,
It could be anything,
- Are there any marks on the ground?
- What kind of marks?
- [Jacob] Like footprints,
- No, nothing,
Am I supposed to be looking for footprints?
- Play it again, please,
- Well, maybe if the lighting was better in there
I could see something,
But honestly, I don't know what the hell I'm looking at,
And I really think we should go in there
and take a look around, - Absolutely not,
- You know what, Jacob?
I'm playing along because you seem like a nice enough guy,
But honestly, I'm getting a little sick and tired
of this Cloak and Dagger bullshit,
Who are you?
Why did you take a cab over here
in the middle of the night to come look
at some blur which is probably nothing,
but we're not gonna know that
because you won't let me go in there and take a look around,
- My, my, my, (laughs)
Martin did say you are the inquisitive type,
He certainly wasn't wrong,
But,
I believe he picked the right man for the job,
- You didn't answer my question, Jacob,
Who are you?
- Very well,
(sighs) I work for Martin, Goran,
and the company as a consultant, Brett,
Satisfied?
- Consultant?
Well, they did mention something about that
in the interview,
You could have just said that,
- Yes, I could have, but I didn't,
And before I worked for Martin and Goran,
I did what you are doing now,
- How long did you work for these people?
- Until my eyesight was taken from me,
What good is a night watchman who's blind?
Answer me that, Brett,
- [Brett] Should we call Martin and Goran
so they can tell someone at the company what's happened?
- [Jacob] There's no need for that,
I shall inform them in the morning,
- What are you doing?
- Listening, Mr, Anderson,
I'm listening,
(phone ringing)
- [Brett] Zara,
- Brett, hi,
Um, what's up?
- [Brett] Sorry for calling so late,
I was just wondering if you could help me with something,
- I can try, yeah,
- What you were telling me today,
about this building being so famous around these parts,
I was trying to find something online,
but all I could find were a couple of pretty light articles,
- Well, there isn't really much about things
like that online,
The stories mostly came from locals
and people who live nearby, you know,
- Yeah, well, I guess that explains it,
- [Zara] Why do you ask?
Are you looking into the murders?
- Murders?
- Oh, didn't they tell you about the twin girls
that were found dead there when you took the job?
- No,
No, they didn't,
- Oh, geez,
A while back
this guy tried to break into the building
in the middle of the night,
When the police were called, (thunder rolls)
they checked the trunk of his car
and found the bodies of two eight year old girls,
twins, inside it,
- Christ,
- It actually gets a lot weirder, (laughs)
Turns out he was their father,
He claimed their mother killed them,
but when the police went looking for her,
they couldn't find her,
- What happened to her?
- She disappeared,
Nobody knows where,
- Did he say anything else?
- He wouldn't speak to the cops or anyone else,
Couple of days later and he was found dead,
He hung himself,
- Listen, um, if you have some time tomorrow, could we meet?
- I can meet you, after I finish up at the café,
- Perfect,
(children laughing) (floor creaking)
(ominous bass booms)
(eerie piano music)
(clock ticking)
(ominous bass booms) (birds trilling)
(intense dramatic music) (clock ticking)
(footsteps crunching)
(intense screeching)
(gasps)
(panting)
(coughs)
- Mr, Anderson, Brett, you're awake,
- Yeah, Martin, listen, I'm sorry,
My alarm, last night, I'm not really sure what happened,
- It's okay, these things happen,
You met Jacob last night,
- I did, yeah,
- Called him, correct?
- Was I not supposed to?
- No, no, no,
You did the right thing, you did the right thing,
I'm here, I'm making a copy of the recordings,
I've gotta get it to the company, they want to review it,
- Well shouldn't we go in there and check things out?
- No,
Everything I need, right here,
Look, keep doing what you're doing,
And get that alarm clock fixed, yes?
- Sure, yeah, - All right, goodbye, Brett,
- Bye,
(traffic rumbling)
(soft piano music)
- Wow!
This place is so cool,
- Wait until you see the apartment,
- Finally,
This is Zahari's place,
(moves into soft eerie music)
She's very pretty,
Who is she?
- It's my wife,
My late wife,
- Oh, sorry,
I didn't mean to say--
- It's okay,
Don't worry,
- You look good in uniform,
- That was taken a very long time ago,
- And who's that?
- It's Frank, my old partner,
That actually was the last day I ever wore that uniform,
- Why?
- I quit two weeks later,
- What did you do?
Shoot someone?
- A kid,
Gang member,
He was 15 years old,
He had just murdered Frank in front of me,
and I was gonna be next if I didn't do something,
- Jesus, I'm sorry,
Jesus,
I'm sorry,
Really, I,,,
- [Brett] Where are you going?
- I have to leave, you know, I have to
because I don't want to put my foot in my mouth again,
- Wait, no, no, no, no,
Don't leave,
Stay, stay,
I want you to stay,
(soft romantic music)
(eerie shrill humming)
(woman laughing)
(soft ominous music)
(ominous intense screeching) (birds trilling)
(gasps)
(sighs)
- [Zara] Hey,
- [Brett] Hey,
I thought you'd gone,
- [Zara] I'm not going anywhere,
(slow soft music)
Couldn't sleep?
- Bad dream,
- I can fix that,
(slow soft music)
(birds trilling)
- What the,,,
(slow eerie music)
(gate creaks)
(moves into slow piano music)
- And you touched nothing? - No,
- Are you sure?
- Martin, please,
- Look, I checked the monitor,
I saw whatever the hell it was that was on it
and I called you,
In that exact order,
- It's fine, fine,
He followed procedures, Martin,
Exactly as requested,
Now, let us examine the footage, shall we?
- See right there, you know what that looks to me?
That looks just like,,,
- Are you certain they are footprints?
- I'm looking right at it, Jacob,
And what is it with you three questioning everything I say?
- I see them, too,
We're have to go inside the hangar,
Take a closer look,
Jake, I need you to wait here, please,
- We are going inside?
- Now we are talking,
Let's go,
(slow eerie music)
(door creaking)
Coming or not?
(door slams)
- The door operates on a timer,
As long as we have the key, we can get out,
- What happens if you don't?
- Please,
(footsteps crunching)
(camera clicks)
- What do you suppose made these tracks?
- I have no idea,
- An animal obviously got in here,
Need to look around,
Find how it got in and seal it up,
- [Martin] No,
We shouldn't,
I've everything we need,
We're leaving,
Now!
- [Brett] If we don't seal it up,
we're gonna end up down here
every time something sets the system off,
The tracks end here,
Martin?
Seriously?
- I've never seen anything like this before, Martin,
We can't just ignore it,
- I'm not ignoring it, okay,
I just don't know what to do until he sees them,
- I know that but we have to--
- [Brett] What the hell is going on?
- Nothing,
Everything is under control,
- [Brett] Martin,
- I've got to make some calls,
We'll talk later,
- What's going on?
What's up with you two?
What's got you so spooked about being in there?
- Tomorrow,
Let's talk tomorrow,
I promise, first thing in the morning,
(elevator rumbling)
(intense eerie screeching)
- Oh, Jesus Christ, Jacob,
- I'm so sorry,
Could you please take me upstairs?
Martin and Goran left in such a hurry,
it appears they have abandoned me, (laughs)
And Brett,
do not go into the hangar alone,
(slow eerie music)
(clock ticking)
(children laughing) (birds trilling)
(thunder claps)
- Hello?
Hello?
(door creaking)
(thunder claps)
Hello?
(thunder rolls)
(bell buzzing)
Hello?
- It's me,
Can I come in?
- [Brett] I'll be right down,
- Why haven't you been answering my calls?
- [Brett] What?
- My calls,
Why haven't you been answering them?
- What are you talking about?
- Did I do something wrong?
- Wait,
Zara, no!
What are you talking about?
Calls?
I haven't been doing anything,
I haven't been ignoring you at all,
- Just shut up,
(thunder rolls)
(Zara passionately sighs)
(Zara moaning)
(intense dramatic music)
(Brett gasping)
- What the,,, hell, Brett!
Are you okay?
- I'm sorry,
I'm sorry,
- You don't seem it,
- I'm okay,
My head,
I thought you were,,,
- Anna? - Yeah,
- Brett,
Talk to me,
Talk to me, tell me what's going on,
(Brett panting)
Have you been in therapy?
- My friend Alex tried to hook me up with a shrink, but no,
It's this place,
The visions, the dreams are stronger here,
There's something about this building,
Something bad,
- Brett, it's not the building,
You have to go to a doctor,
- No, these people have been hiding
something from me since I got here,
- Something like what, Brett?
- (sighs) It's hard to explain,
It's just there,
It's just gnawing away at the back of my mind
and no matter how hard I try, I can't ignore it,
These people are hiding something from me,
I have a bad feeling about this place,
(slow ominous music)
(Jacob sighs)
(bell buzzes)
- Hello?
- Brett?
It's Jacob Keaton,
I must speak with you immediately,
- Jacob, how did you get,,, never mind,
I'll be right down,
How did you get here?
- I drove,
I'm blind, Brett, (laughs) I'm not in a coma,
I took a taxi,
- [Brett] It's four in the morning, Jacob,
- [Jacob] We are running out of time,
I think it has started,
- What's started?
Jacob, what's started?
- Oh, hi!
I better put some clothes on,
- Don't go to any trouble on my account,
And you are?
- Zara,
- Enchanté, Miss Zara,
Jacob Keaton, at your disposal,
- Pleasure,
I'm just gonna, okay,
- What's this about?
- Oh,
I shall require you to accompany me to the penthouse,
- There's no one there, Jacob,
In fact, we are the only people in the entire building,
I checked all the apartments
that Martin and Goran said people were living in
and there was no one there,
They're empty,
Why are they empty, Jacob?
What is it that got Martin and Goran
so spooked out earlier today?
- If you come with me, I shall explain everything,
- Where are you going?
(slow ominous music)
- [Jacob] Open it,
- [Brett] I don't have a key,
- [Jacob] Yes, you do,
This way,
(soft eerie music)
(machines beeping)
There is nothing to be afraid of here,
(machines beeping)
He is dying,
- Jacob, who is this man?
- Zahari,
His name is Zahari,
- The architect?
If this is Zahari that would make him like--
- 150 years old, give or take,
- You don't really expect me to believe
that this is the guy that built the building, do you?
Come on, Jacob!
- Young man, I am going to need you
to help me stop what I fear is about to occur here,
- How can I help you stop something
when I don't even understand what you are saying?
- Do you believe in the afterlife, Brett?
- Do I believe in the afterlife?
What kind a question is that?
No, I don't,
- This place,
this building,
it occupies a space directly over
one of the seven gates, each one, each gate
a kind of, how shall I say,
doorway to the other side,
- Other side?
- The Nightworld,
Land of the dead,
- Okay, I'm outta here,
- You must listen,
The remaining six gates are scattered throughout the world,
the location only known to the guardian
tasked with protecting his gate, his doorway,
Now, if,
God forbid,
the dead, they somehow found a gateway
on the other side,
then they could move freely between this world
and their Nightworld,
Zahari and the others, they feared that something,
something else, something from before the time of man
would find its way through and into our world,
so they sought to prevent that from ever happening,
- You don't actually believe this crap, do you?
Do you know what you sound like?
- This man, this good man, he was tasked with,
responsible for creating, designing, crafting the seals
which prevent anything from crossing over,
He agreed to remain here, in this very building
to serve as the last guardian,
the keeper of the seventh and final gateway,
- If he is the guardian of the last seal,
who are the others?
- Ah, this I do not know,
But, each of the seven guardians
answers to a man named Pritchard, Isaac Pritchard,
He is the only one who knows the location
of all the gateways,
- This man, how can he still be here?
I mean, how can he still be alive after all this time?
- Zahari, (laughs) he was an alchemist,
He was able to prolong his life by unnatural means,
(machines beeping)
- Maria,
- [Zara] Who?
- The cleaner,
She was walking around with a cart full of medical supplies
the day I got here,
What is she doing with him?
- That is no concern of ours, Brett,
What you must understand is this: Zahari is dying,
Which means that the gateway beneath us is vulnerable,
What you saw on the cameras the other day,
I suspect it most likely means that someone
or something is trying to force its way through
and into our world,
They know the gateway is exposed,
So we must act now to stop them
or it will be breached and we will never be able to,
- Stop who?
Who do we need to stop?
- I must get to the basement now!
I cannot do this on my own,
- We're not going anywhere near the basement,
- You must listen to me!
- I'm through listening to you, Jacob,
I'm gonna go call Martin and Goran
and then I'm taking you home,
- If you do not do as I ask,
everything you know, everything you love will end,
(machines beeping)
(phone ringing)
- [Brett] No one's picking up,
(intense dramatic music)
- Rats always leave the sinking ship,
- [Zara] Are you going back to Varna?
- No,
I don't know,
Can we not do this right now?
I just think we should get out of this place
until I figure out what to do,
(door clanks)
- Where did he go?
- Stubborn old bastard,
He has a key,
(slow intense music)
(elevator rumbling)
- What the hell is that?
- Tell me,
What do you see in there?
- Footprints,
Hundreds of them,
Alex? (bell buzzing)
What the hell is he doing here?
Do not let him go in there!
(bell buzzing)
Alex?
What are you doing here?
- Good to see you, too, buddy,
- How did you get through the front gate?
- That gate was opened and I just kind of walked in,
And where the fuck have you been?
- I've been here,
Come in,
I need to get something,
- Okay, if you've been here this whole time,
then how come I haven't been able
to get a hold of you for five days?
- You're screwing with me, right?
- Yeah, I'm screwing with you,
Come on, man, you know me,
You think I'd hop on a bus and take a six hour road trip
to Sofia just to screw with you?
- Yeah, but you and I talked yesterday,
- Oh, no, we didn't,
- Jacob will know what's going on,
Just come with me,
- What's going on, man?
You're freaking me out,
Okay, you want me to go just say so,
Brett?
Hey, what's the gun for, man?
(slow ominous music)
You want to tell me what's been going on
these past five days?
- It hasn't been five days,
I need to talk to Jacob first,
- Who's this Jacob guy you keep bringing up?
(electrical arcing)
Hey!
Are you sure this thing's safe?
- [Zara] What's happening?
- Zara, when you came over earlier
you said I haven't been answering my phone,
- [Zara] Yes, why?
- [Brett] Why did you ask me that?
When was the last time we saw each other or spoke?
- Uh, four, five days ago,
I thought you were blowing me off, that's why I came,
I don't know,
- Jacob, what the hell is going on?
How can I lose five days?
How is that possible?
I remember talking to Alex yesterday,
And then I remember seeing you and Martin and Goran,
And now this,
How could I lose five days?
How could anyone lose five days?
- In the Nightworld, the concept of time,
it has no place, no meaning,
It simply ceases to-- - What's he talking about?
(distant whispering)
- [Jacob] What is it?
- What was that?
- I can't make anything out,
- [Jacob] We need to go inside,
Now! - Inside where?
- My friend, you take this,
You'll need it in there,
- What is it?
- It works in there,
- I'm good,
What do we do when we get in there?
How do we stop this?
- We must seal the breach,
Before it becomes completely unstable and it's too late,
- Too late for what? - How do we seal it?
- I possess the key,
I can guide you,
- Okay,
Look, you two stay here,
- Someone please tell me what the fuck's going on here!
- Just, please,
Stay here with her!
(electrical arcing)
(deep rumbling)
- Now what?
- Look, you two just stay here!
Jacob, come on, let's go,
- No, man, I'm going with you,
- [Zara] I'm going, too,
- Fine,
We'll al go, but we stick together,
Get him,
(slow ominous music)
(machines beeping)
Jacob, these symbols, what do they mean?
- They are the seals,
Glyphs,
The protection symbols,
- Protection from what? - The dead,
Only those from the land of the living
can unlock this door from both sides,
(door rumbling)
(door slams)
- [Zara] Brett!
- It's okay,
It's supposed to do that, we're not locked in,
Jacob, what are we looking for down here?
- We need to go further into this hangar,
- [Brett] How much further?
- Further,
(machines beeping)
(slow ominous music)
- [Alex] This place is huge,
How are we supposed to find anything in here?
- [Brett] Jacob, I need you
to be straight with me about something,
There was an incident that happened a few years back,
With the twin sisters,
You were working here when that happened, right?
- Yes, I remember,
- So why this place?
Why here?
- The father of those children,
he believed absolutely that this building
held the power to bring them back,
- Bring them back from where?
- The dead, of course,
- I see,
Sir, you're fucking crazy,
But you know that, don't you?
(machines beeping) (slow ominous music)
(alarm sounding)
- [Evil Spirit] I see you,
(Jacob gasping)
- [Zara] What's wrong?
- Yeah, what's wrong, Jacob?
- The guardian,
- Zahari?
- He is gone,
(alarm sounding)
- [Jacob] Go, go, go, go,
They're coming,
- [Alex] Who is coming?
- [Jacob] The dead, you idiot!
- [Alex] Of course, who else could it be?
Tell me you're not buying this bullshit,
Look around, there's nobody here,
It's just me, you, her
and a creepy blind guy who's missing a few marbles,
- [Brett] Shh,
- What?
- Do you hear that?
- I don't hear a thing,
- What is it?
Brett?
Brett, wait!
(footsteps crunching)
Brett,
Brett, where are you?
I can't see him,
- Hello?
Hello?
How did you get down here?
(woman weeping)
- Brett?
- Oh my god!
No!
You're not real!
You're not real, you can't be real!
No!
- It's me,
Your Anna,
- What?
No, It's impossible,
- [Zara] Where are you!
Brett, where are you?
I can't see him,
- Hey,
This is all your fault, man!
You put all this shit in his head
and now my friend is losing his damn mind,
- [Zara] He said he heard someone,
We need to go after him,
- [Jacob] What we need is to get out of here,
So hurry!
- Anna?
Anna?
Here, come, come with me,
Come on, come on, (Anna gasping)
Come on,
- [Zara] Brett,
(soft ominous music)
- Fuck me,
(Alex screaming)
(intense dramatic music)
- Come, come!
(keys clinking) - Wait,
Wait!
I, I dropped the key,
- Shit!
Shit!
I got it!
(Jacob screaming) (intense dramatic music)
- Zara!
- [Zara] Brett!
- Zara!
Do you have the key?
- [Zara] Here,
- Where are the others?
(door creaking)
(zombies growling)
(door creaks)
- [Brett] Oh, my god!
What happened?
(Zara groaning)
- Brett,
Is that?
- Yes,
- How is this, how is this possible?
How is this possible?
- I don't know,
She found her way back,
Just, hold on,
(Zara gasping)
Anna?
- I'm scared,
- How?
How could you be
here?
- None of that matters anymore,
I made my way back to you,
I'm here, (laughs)
I'm here now,
- Brett,
- We need to get out of this place,
- But I can't,
- Brett,
This is not Anna,
- Shh, - What are you talking about?
- Anna's dead, Brett,
She is dead,
- No, she's not,
She's right here,
She came back for me, Zara, can't you see that?
- [Zara] Brett, please!
- I need you to do something for me, baby,
I need you to open that door for me,
- [Zara] No, don't,
- To free me,
To free my soul,
- Brett, don't,
Don't!
- I can't, I can't do that, Anna,
Those things, those things are going--
- Shh,
Yes, you can,
You can,
That's the only way,
We can be together forever,
You have to open the door for me, baby,
- Why?
Why did you leave me? (soft piano music)
Why did you give up on us, Anna?
- I did it for us, baby,
- I don't understand,
- I did it 'cause
I wanted to be together forever,
I never left,
I've always been with you,
I brought you here,
Everything you've ever done since I've been gone
has been leading up to this moment,
Don't you feel it?
- Brett, please,
- You know it's true, don't you?
- I,
I,,,
- Brett,
Where is the key?
Now, open the door,
Open the door,
Open the door!
- Brett!
Stay away from him, bitch!
(intense dramatic music)
- Give me the key, bitch!
- Fuck you!
(Zara groaning)
(bones cracking)
(gun cocking)
- You're never gonna hurt me,
It's me,
Your Anna,
You love me,
Not her,
(gun fires) (Zara screaming)
(Zara groaning) - Come on,
Come on,
Come on, here,
(intense dramatic music) (lights buzzing)
- [Zara] Brett,
- [Brett] What?
- It's too late,
The door-- - What?
- Is open, - What?
(zombies growling)
(Zara screaming)
(gun firing)
Hey,
Hey!
Look at me!
You stay with me, Zara!
- I'm sorry, - No!
It's okay, it doesn't matter, okay,
You stay with me,
Hey, look at me!
Zara, stay with me, okay,
Look at me, right here, all right?
All right? - Okay,
- Okay, cool, - I'm here,
- We're gonna be there, all right?
We're gonna be there, all right?
- Ya,
Yes, - It's gonna be good,
- Okay, - Okay,
Look at me,
Right?
Keep looking at me,
(Zara groaning)
Okay, okay, good, we're getting it,
Be careful,
Okay,
Come on, come on,
Let's go,
Come on,
Yeah,
Zara! (Zara shrieking)
Zara, come on,
Zara!
Look at me,
Look at me!
Uh uh, no,
- Brett,
- Come on,
No,
(slow soft music)
(moves into intense dramatic music)
(gun fires) (Zara groans)
(soft piano music)
- Jacob?
I'm sorry, old friend,
- Who are you?
- My name is Isaac Pritchard, Mr, Anderson,
Did anyone else make it out of the building with you?
Is there anyone else alive inside?
- Pritchard?
- Mr, Anderson, are you the only one
who made it out of the building?
- They're dead,
They're all dead,
- Okay,
I need you to go with my people now, Mr, Anderson,
Everything will be fine,
I promise you,
I'll explain everything to you on the way,
- Where are you taking me?
- Somewhere safe,
You've done your part now, Mr, Anderson,
We're going to take care of everything now from here,
Please, just go with my men,
They'll see to you,
(soft tapping)
(slow eerie music)
(birds trilling)
(glass cracks)
(deep bass booms)
(slow piano music)
