RADIO ANNOUNCER: Thanks for tuning in
to WJTV, Harper's Grove
number one all news station.
Well take one look out your windows
and you'll see that the snow has begun.
We already have three
to four inches of snow
in most places and more is on the way.
The National Weather Service says
it's going to be snowing
all night and all morning
well into Wednesday,
compounding this is the record
cold temperatures that
we're likely to see tonight.
It's going to get down
to a chilly -10 degrees,
so if you have pets
please bring them inside.

Nice of you to join us.
- Hey Jen.
- Hey.
Does anyone know if
Smith's showing up tonight?
MAN: He's sick and he's
probably going to be sick, so.
Not as sick as I was
reading these reports,
but Jennifer you got an A.
- Thanks Professor.
- Lincoln, you got a C.
- Tim, D+.
- A B+, D+.
- Michael, you got a D.
- A D, you gave me a D.
The assignment was to
recapitulate cross cultural
superstition motifs of ritual,
not exactly what I asked for.
Well I gave you what you
asked for and I got a C.
I did ask for 12
pages, you gave me eight.
Eight pages of near
perfection, verbal economy,
why use extra words when
you don't need them?
Right, well speaking of wasting words,
I'll get right to the point,
glad you guys showed up.
Have you guys given any consideration
to my little adventure?
What do you call it
urban exploration right?
I don't know I mean you
exploring the steam tunnels
under the university and us breaking into
a condemned building that
used to be a sanitarium,
I mean they are two very different things.
Is it the sanitarium or sanitorium?
Asylum, with the
benefits of the sanitarium.
"Team CHUD", right?
Exactly, it can be dangerous,
but nobody's going to get hurt.
Dangerous, how so?
Bonked heads, skinned knees,
ratted from the campus cops,
- nothing too scary.
- Yeah, well count me in.
Figures, not like you need to worry
about academic suspension.
Yeah, well color me lucky.
Color me fuck you.
So if everyone's in, we'll
meet in Conference Room B
tomorrow at 6:00 p.m. and
we'll gear up, sound good.
- Sounds good to me.
- Great.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
And guys think of it as an adventure.
(OMINOUS ELECTRONIC MUSIC)
(PEOPLE LAUGHING)
MICHAEL-PAUL: I will
whack him right the fuck up.
- Bam!
- Aren't you gonna do this...
- Bam!
- Why the...
We're recording everything right,
I mean it is for the vlog.
Of course this is not gonna do any good
if we don't let other people see
how fucked up things really are.
This is gonna fall off a track light.
I think he didn't finish.
Oh, oh, oh yeah oh.
Like I said around this space,
there's two more memory cards
right in this pocket right here.
JEN: You're gonna have really weird
footage on your camera,
just so you know Lincoln.
Oh I figured.
But did you guys hear this
place was haunted right?
- You fucker.
- No, I did my research
online and everything, yeah the professor
- did not tell us that.
- Uh huh.
TIM: All right, let's
do a game together.
Do we really need all of this stuff?
It's not like we're
going into Mordor Frodo.
Better to have it and not need it
than the other way around.
I've actually done this before remember?
What is all that stuff anyway?
Climbing harnesses, rope,
chalk bag, flashlights.
- Awesome.
- All right.
Thanks thanks thanks.
But I'm being serious, we should totally
- try and talk to him.
- Like a seance?
Yeah, there's some logic right there.
You want to see something
that we can really use?
What's that?
- What the fuck?
- What?
Check it out.
Yeah?
Hey guys, we're all set,
the bog's up and running
and we can upload any time.
You guys set?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally ready, yeah.
All right, let's go.

(PEOPLE TALKING QUIETLY IN THE LOUD WIND)
- A little bit.
- Listen, listen,
Miller's Crossing is best, hands down.
That is bull shit, have
you not even seen Evil Dead?
They didn't even make that plausible.
You've got a fucking Raimi fixation...
I think Michael might be
planning some sort of bullshit.
He's saying how this place is hunted.
What a load of crap.
Let's go with something
that you know, No Country.
- You're hopeless
- Shit.
- It doesn't matter.
- What?
I'll give you something
that you do know though.
No Country.
- You're fucking hopeless.
- You're full of shit.
Jennifer, what do you think, Jennifer?
What, I heard you, I don't
really like either of them.
Fucking them, yeah.
With no experience, on top of that
there's a huge storm rolling
in, if anything goes wrong
down there no one's gonna
be able to get to us.
We could all die.
Anyway, like I was saying...
(OMINOUS ELECTRONIC MUSIC)
Great fucking zero taste.
(DOOR CREAKS)
(FOOTSTEPS ECHOING)
What in the hell, this place is
this is gonna be fucked.
TIM: Must have been
different back in the day.
(DOOR CLANGS)
(DOOR CREAKS)
MICHAEL-PAUL: Is there
any power down here?
PROFESSOR: I don't know
that might be old temporary.
You all have flashlights right?
- Yeah.
- All right,
let's get in here before
the power goes out.
(DOOR CLANGS)
(MACHINERY HUMMING)
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Oh, this is ominous.
What do you know about
this shit motherfucker?
Creepy man.
I'm not going up there.
- Oh shit.
- Watch out.
(VOICES MUFFLED BY MACHINERY
HUMMING AND OMINOUS MUSIC)
PROFESSOR: We've got to
get through this hallway
and disperse, find some of these rooms.
I don't know, I'm not gonna look back.

(OMINOUS MUSIC BLARES)
(TENSE ELECTRONIC MUSIC)
Hello?
(LAUGHS)
Dick.
God.
Oh man, you were scared. (LAUGHS)
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
I've never seen this.
Yeah, this one is mine dude.
Nice.
Not as nice as mine.
Why the hell do you
guys have weapons anyway?
I mean Michael-Paul even has a gun.
So Harper's Grove doesn't
have the distinction
of being the murder capital of the nation
for nothing you know.
Yeah, just like
highest per capita murder
in the entire world.
This year ain't looking much better.
It's like you guys
are expecting trouble.
Not at all, be prepared.
I mean Lincoln was right about that,
or would you rather face a
whacked out drug gang unarmed?
Whatever.
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
Don't doddle.
(METAL SCRAPS)
(TENSE STRING MUSIC)
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
What'd you find?
It's an old patient directory.
Look, some of these names,
they just end in 1920.
So they were released, so what?
No, not in a place like this.
Usually, once you're admitted,
you're in there for life.
Besides, these other names,
they just go on and on,
page after page, it's
these names in question,
they just stop, a few months
apart, but all are 1920.
So you're saying they died, right?
1920, that was pretty
close to the Spanish flu.
That was 1918.
It could have been an outbreak,
but institutionally speaking...
That's a lot of death.
I'm thinking that's a lot of death.
Listen do me a favor, let's just keep this
- between us right now.
- Whatever you think, sure.
So what did you guys find?
Oh just some inventory
logs, nothing special.
Let's keep checking this place out.
(OMINOUS ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)
(WATER DRIPPING)
Ah.
(HEAVY OBJECT CLANKS)
- Did you hear that?
- I fucking knew it man.
I fucking knew it.
Yeah.
I told you, I told you,
I told you, I knew it,
I fucking knew it.
Come on, come on.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Hey listen I was
thinking about that book,
the one you found in the other room
with all the deaths so close together,
it seems to me shouldn't
the state have had
some level of oversight
over places like this?
Yeah, it's possible.
With that being the case,
shouldn't there have been
some massive investigation
or some level of public outcry over this?
I don't think so, Lincoln,
you've got to remember
it was a different time back then.
Asylums were considered cutting edge.
I don't think the government
put too many priorities in oversight
for facilities like this.
But there must have been something.
Lincoln, think about it.
The country's just getting
out of The Great War,
right into the Prohibition Era.
They just had different priorities.
So what do you think happened here?
Whatever it was,
it was horrible.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
What you looking at horndog?
What you think jackass?
Some old picture of some faded ass tail.
You should have been a blowjob.
- Gob goblin.
- Fuck you.
You know what you can do?
Eat a bullet, dicko.
Very mature boys, very mature.
TIM: All right, let's go.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
You know it's interesting,
a lot of these old buildings
they have hidden rooms,
stairways to nowhere.
I thought that was only in mansions.
Well maybe, but a lot
of newer architecture
borrows pretty heavily from the old.
I mean it's possible.
Do you know much about architecture?
No.
(LAUGHS)

(MACHINERY HUMMING)

(SCREAMS)
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
That's fucking disgusting.
He's dead right?
He smells dead.
I don't know how dead smells.
I mean look at him.
Yeah, his face is all fucked up
like that bath salts video guy.
- Well he's all messed up.
- He's gone all right.
Obviously, we have to turn back.
I'm calling the cops.
No no, we film and document.
This, this is a powerful message.
(RING TONE BEEPS)
I-I can't get through,
there's no service.
This place is like a big Faraday cage.
No calls in or out.
Haven't you noticed?
Jennifer, it's not like we killed him.
He was already dead.
Yeah, they're right, we should just
leave him here and keep going.
It's fucked up, but I say okay.
Jen, look at this way,
if anyone does happen by,
they'll assume the obvious,
he's been dead down here for a long time.
Meanwhile we'll be halfway
across the building.
Besides, no one's going to step
more than 10 feet inside this place.
- Let's go, come on.
- Yeah.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
(DARK MUSIC BLARES)
(MUFFLED RADIO RATTLES)
RADIO ANNOUNCER:
North Dakota all the way
through each US city,
several western cities
have already posted snow emergencies,
which means if you live in a city that has
a snow emergency, you
have to move your car
or to await for example...
(RADIO NOISE BUZZES)
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Oh, here we go, bathroom,
I have to take this.
I'm with you man, let's go.
- Shit.
- Let's go.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Well I guess while we're all waiting,
I do have a confession to make.
I did know something about
this place beforehand.
My grandfather was institutionalized here.
That's the reason why my
family moved into the area
sometime after World War I.
I'm so sorry professor, what happened?
Shell shock, today they call it PTSD.
Yeah, my uncle had that after Vietnam,
well that and lung
cancer from Agent Orange.
No, not like this, we're
talking trench warfare,
men killing man with their bare hands,
no room to run, hide,
move, explosions everywhere
and just it's just a dirty, bloody job.
So he was a hero then?
Was he?
Was he?
Oh shit, awesome story doc,
but how many kills did he rack up?
Let's just keep going.
We've barely pricked the
surface of this place.
Let's do it.
Prick us, do we not bleed?
What did you say?
Shakespeare.
Professor, I'm gonna go with you.
I don't feel comfortable being
here without supervision.
No, that's not a good idea.
Besides, you're pretty essential
to the emotional security of this group.
I'll take the compliment,
but this place...
Listen don't worry,
these guys are harmless,
besides if they lay a hand
on you, I'll fail them.
It's not so much them, it's...
What, I'll be right back okay?
Professor, you're going to fail.
Excuse me.
You're going to fail just
like your father failed
and I'm counting on you,
I'm counting, I'm counting.
MYSTERIOUS VOICE: Counting,
I'm counting, I'm counting,
I'm counting, I'm counting, I'm counting.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Holy fuck.
Oh fuck.
Holy fuck.
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
(CAP RATTLES)
Ugh.
Okay, okay.
(CAP RATTLES)
Right, okay.
- What's that?
- I just wrote,
I think it was actually
Anthony that had it
on his Facebook, why did
the chicken cross the road?
- Why?
- To get to the
- gay man's house.
- Ugh.
- Knock knock.
- Who's there?
- The chicken.
- Oh ho ho.
(MICHAEL-PAUL BEATBOXING)
Hey, has anybody seen
a pile of broken toilets.
Oh, huh.
(MICHAEL-PAUL BEATBOXING)
- Come on Lincoln.
- I can't believe it.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
This place is like a goddamn maze.
This is all turn of
the century construction.
Most of the walls are covered up,
but why did we stop?
I just need to take a break.
(SIGHS)
Frodo, did you prepare for this?
Nothing really unexpected so far,
except for the dead body.
It's like we really
did go down to Mordor.
Anybody else want a drink?
Yeah, give me that.
Tim, let me ask you something.
You seem a little hesitant.
Now how many chances does
one get outside the classroom
to explore such a treasure?
What an adventure right.
Come on, Tim, let's get going.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
This fucking...
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Boo!
(JEN SCREAMS)
- Just look at that.
- What the hell?
I was thinking we should
check out that camera
that you picked up off of that dead guy.
Oh, yeah, it's in the backpack.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
All right, it's still got some juice.
Play.
Oh, oh my.
- Oh oh.
- Is that
auto asphyxia erotica?
Oh fuck, yeah, let's close that up.
Yeah.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Somebody burned the word
fuck in the ceiling here.
(LAUGHS) They misspelled it.
True genius.
Like your face.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
(WHISTLING)
Cool, it's patient's artwork.
Yeah, creeptastic for sure.
Well, it's perfect
for the project though,
very meta, we're now
documenting decay art.
It's kind of creepy.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
They were insane all right.
Hey guys, hey gather around.
I know I've been hard on
you throughout the semester,
but hey let's have a shot
of a little adventure huh?
- Yeah.
- Sure.
- Let's do it.
- All right.
(CAP RATTLES)
All right guys, be careful.
This is strong.
Yeah, yeah, give me that.
(LAUGHS)
Ah.
Here goes nothing.
Ugh.
(OMINOUS DISTORTED MUSIC)
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
- The fuck?
- Wake up.
Wake up.
What, what time is it?
- Jennifer, Jen wake up.
- Yeah.
What, what is this?
All right, don't freak out,
just try to get your hands free.
I can't, I can't, they're
Lincoln, they're tired,
- I can't fucking.
- Okay, okay, just stay calm.
- Straight from the bottle.
- Wake up man, wake up.
- I'm up.
- Wake up.
I'm up, I'm up.
What the fuck is going on?
This is not fucking funny.
LINCOLN: Can anybody move their hands?
MICHAEL-PAUL: I can't move shit man.
TIM: Look, Lincoln, Lincoln where's
that World War II bayonet you've got?
LINCOLN: That'd be a great idea.
I've still got to get my gear, douche cow.
Settle down, Frodo.
- Fuck.
- Does your ass
ever get jealous of the shit
that comes out of your mouth?
JEN: It's not the time
for this fucking shit.
Where are we?
You guys okay over there?
You guys, you guys?
JEN: Professor, are
you all right, professor?
I'll be fine, soon enough.
(OMINOUS MUSIC BLARES)
MICHAEL-PAUL: The fuck?
You guys okay?
MICHAEL-PAUL: Are
you fucking kidding me?
JEN: What the fuck?
What do you mean it'll
be fine soon enough.
What are you trying to say Tim?
I'm saying why weren't you
tied up like the rest of us?
I was out cold right here.
Maybe he fucking ran out of rope.
He, he who?
He, they, them, I
don't fucking know Tim.
You know I didn't have
anything to do with this.
I don't think anything
of the fucking kind.
All I know is we drank your whisky
and now it's all fucking Cask
of Amontillado time in here.
As I remember the story,
he didn't wall himself up
with the fucking victim!
All right, no one's blaming you,
professor, right Tim, right?
Fine, whatever, what the fuck ever.
Let's just go.
All right, fine, fine,
let's just do this.
We'll fucking figure it out.
Where's my fucking shit?
Whoa da da da, just hang on.
Look, if we're gonna get out of this,
we gotta stay calm.
There's power in here,
it's the only way out.
It's pitch black, power for these lights
has got to be coming from somewhere.
- Let's grab some candles.
- All right.
Maybe we could follow it out.
Okay, okay, you me and him will do that,
you guys stay here,
fucking do this, we got it.
Okay, fine, perfect, perfect, you got it?
Get your shit.
Fucking shit.
LINCOLN: Grab a candle
let's go, it's gonna be okay.
Seems to be some sort of...
Seems to be some sort of sub-basement.
Yeah, well whatever it is, it's cold.
That's not gonna work down here.
I have to try.
Okay, you try.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
TIM: Oh fuck.
Looks like this is as far as we can go.
Yeah, no shit Frodo,
we're fucked down here.
We're stuck.
LINCOLN: Look man I'm
just trying to point out...
What, the fucking obvious, you dipshit.
We're fucked down here.
I'm just trying to be helpful,
- if you just let me...
- Look, I can take care
of my fucking self, all right?
Just get the fuck away from me, all right.
We're in no man's land my boys.
Frunchline is what we use
to call fellows like you,
war pigs ready for the killing floor.
You all right there man?
You know we got to check
out that last room okay.
All right, let's just go do it, come on.
(GRUNTS)
LINCOLN: Look out.
Yeah, it's that room
I was telling you about.
- Yeah, creepy.
- What is that?
Is it a trap door, I can't really see.
Yeah, it looks like a trap door to me.
Is there another level to this place
or something, what the fuck?
I don't want to fucking know.
Well, it is the only way in or out
that we found so far.
- What should we do?
- I think we should go back
and tell the others and figure
what to do from there, okay?
All right, let's go.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Hey. (LAUGHS)
- We found the stuff.
- Good, good, good.
- Lincoln, glasses.
- Oh geez, thanks.
- Come here Tim.
- Hey.
Well, looks like we found
this building's oubliette.
JEN: Who would do
something like this to us?
What did we do?
Hey, good news, Jen found our stuff.
Just happened to find it, did you?
I don't suppose you have
anymore of that whisky, do you?
I might.
It seems that everything is
here, besides a jacket mine.
Okay, well let's just gear
up, get some clothes on,
I'm fucking freezing all right.
Let's do it.
Hey, that hurt.
(GRUNTS)
Where are you going?
Yeah, I don't know about you guys,
but I really have to take a
massive dump right now, so.
Well be sure to let
us when it comes out.
Yeah, I will douche canoe.
Douche canoe.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
(GRUNTS)
Lincoln, oh, it's almost
as big as you Frodo.
Man, I really hate that guy.
MICHAEL-PAUL: Oh, it smells.
Well, whoever brought us down here
doesn't seem to mind we still
have the ability to defend ourselves.
Why do you think someone
would do this professor?
Well we know what Tim thinks.
He's just freaked out
like the rest of us,
I mean I don't blame him.
I don't blame you either, but...
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Lincoln, oh it smells like you Frodo.
Hey Lincoln.
Lincoln.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Lincoln, hey Lincoln.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
- I appreciate that Lincoln.
- Hey, I'm just as scared
as you guys.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
(BLOOD SPLATTERS)
(BODY SCRAPES)
Michael-Paul?
Michael-Paul?
(TENSE MUSIC)
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
That's his blood.
We've got to find him.
I'll go with you.
No, Tim, let's go.
Well, what do you think happened to him?
I don't know.
This isn't good though.
We need to get the hell out of here.
RADIO ANNOUNCER: The
storm we first reported
two hours ago has grown
to epic proportions
and has stalled out over
Michigan and parts of Ohio
and it just keeps coming on.
As a result the Michigan State Police
are asking people to stay
at home if at all possible.
These roads are becoming impassable.
Indeed many side roads are being reported
as absolute light out conditions
continue to knock out side roads,
but we've heard reports that I94 and US23
as well as The Lodge are
becoming shut down as well.
This is despite this all
started this morning,
running in shifts and our
older listeners might remember
the blizzard of 1978 and
this storm is quickly
closing in...
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
We found this.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
I don't see that we have any choice.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
It's quite a ways away,
so we better take everything we need.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
How do we know this isn't some
sick joke Michael-Paul is playing?
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Like you say, we have no choice.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Well, if this is how
they're getting in and out,
Michael-Paul's down there.
We need to get down there too.
Yep, I agree.
LINCOLN: All right.
It's very cramped and tight.
(GRUNTS)
(TRAP DOOR CREAKS)
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
We're gonna have to repel down there.
You okay with that?
Yeah, let's break out the climbing gear.
Okay.
RADIO ANNOUNCER:
From the major highways,
I94 and US23 are shut
down for large sections
and all major side streets
are also shut down.
If you live in rural
areas, it is highly likely
that the roads there
will also be impassable.
Therefore, the authorities
are asking everyone
to stick and stay where they are unless
it is a serious medical condition.
(GEAR RUSTLES)
I'll never doubt you again, Frodo.
I hope you know what you're doing.

What do you see?
If his back pack's down
there, he has to be down there.
Maybe it wasn't his blood.
He probably just heard
a sound or something.
PROFESSOR: I hope he
can take care of himself.
He had a huge machete sir.
He had a...
He had a what?
He had a gun, he showed
it to us right before...
He had a fucking gun?
(LAUGHS) That's just fucking
intelligent isn't it?
What was he expecting?
All right, I'm gonna
send this harness up.
Jennifer, you come down next.
Lincoln, you're last.
All right.
All right.
All right.
All right.
All right, Lincoln I'm sending this up.
Professor comes down next.
(GRUNTS)
Throw down your bag.
All right come on down.
Okay, everybody, split up,
look for a way out of here.
Where is this place?
It's like some sort of
steam pipe distribution venue.
Is that secure?
Yeah, it's good.
All right, we don't want to
burn our bridges down here.

(PIPES CLANKING)
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Lincoln, come here, let
me talk to you for a second.
What's up?
That was at least a 60 foot dead fall.
There is no way Michael-Paul
made it down here on his own.
Yeah, not without some help I agree.
I'm just concerned if Jennifer thinks
that he's dead, she's
gonna fucking lose it.
I mean there could still be a chance.
I mean if the professor
thinks that Michael-Paul is...
I don't a trust a man
with kind of difficulties.
He's a fucking sociopath.
I don't think Jen trusts him either.
Well, let's try to find a way out here.
I mean we're all scared.
I'm not fucking scared.
I'm concerned.
There's a difference.
Easy, stay calm, keep our heads
and we're gonna get through this.
Gentleman, let's put those efforts
to trying to get out of here.

Battle diary of Sergeant Brian Cuttle,
the devil's own regiment.
What's all this?
PROFESSOR: Most of it
is early war propaganda,
but the rest...
Well, this one's obvious,
but some of the others.
Wait a minute.
No he's right.
I've heard most of these phrases before.
This one was on posters all over.
This was popular war propaganda
and this one we still use.
I've heard of this place before.
They called it The Red Room.
I read it about in the
history of Hodac Asylum.
Well none of this tells us
anything about Michael-Paul.
I mean this could have been the ravings
of a culture a hundred years ago.
The stories about things
that happened in this room,
things that happened to the inmates.
Jennifer, you all right?
Jennifer?
What's with the walls,
they're all written on.
TIM: It was the batshit insane inmates.
That's what it always is, right?
No sleep now for two days straight.
Jerry is giving us all
heat all morning and night.
How many cold meat
tickets have I collected
since I joined the fighting, a thousand?
Uh uh, 10,000?
This is not fit duty for a man.
One in the pocket, one between the teeth.
Everyone is gap-toothed
when I'm through with them.
It is a long way to Tipperary...
This is fucked up.
- August 9th, 1916...
- Something else
about this room?
LINCOLN: Jennifer, did
you guys find anything?
No, it's all covered over.
If there's a way out
of here, I can't find it.
I was never good at these riddles anyway.
It's just me now.
- Finding secret doors.
- It's just me.
JENNIFER: It was my major...
I don't wash the blood off my hands.

- This is where

- You are not.
- Calling out.

Why didn't you help Tim?
I was scared shitless,
you saw me standing there.

- Creepiest...
- Was you holding that damn...
- Place, I swear to God...

- If one more thing...
As he was pleading, no no...

to fucking give it to him,
but you stood there holding it.
Why didn't you do anything,

there's a seven-foot-tall

who's gonna kill all of
us, let's get the fuck out.
Find us a fucking way out.
What's going on down here, professor?
Lincoln, you remember
those old history books
I was showing you, the patient directory.
Yeah, I remember.
What the fuck is he talking about?
It was in the early 20s,
there were some patients
that just vanished right
after the first World War.
Yeah, how my grandfather
survived that war,
how we survived this asylum.
Are you saying your grandfather
knew something about our experiences?
No, I'm saying he
knew enough to survive.
He knew enough to survive the war.
What else is in the book, professor?
How he survived this
asylum, that's most important.

- Michael, you got a D.

The assignment was to
recapitulate cross cultural

not exactly what I asked for.
Well I gave you what you
asked for and I got a C.
I did ask for 12
pages, you gave me eight.
Eight pages of near

why use extra words when
you don't need them?
Right, well speaking of wasting words,
I'll get right to the point,
glad you guys showed up.
Have you guys given any consideration
to my little adventure?
What do you call it
urban exploration right?
I don't know I mean you
exploring the steam tunnels
under the university and us breaking into
a condemned building that
used to be a sanitarium,
I mean they are two very different things.
Is it the sanitarium or sanitorium?
Asylum, with the
benefits of the sanitarium.

Exactly, it can be dangerous,
but nobody's going to get hurt.
Dangerous, how so?

- No, I did my research

Do we really need all of this stuff?
It's not like we're

No, not in a place like this.
Usually, once you're admitted,
you're in there for life.
Besides, these other names,
they just go on and on,
page after page, it's
these names in question,
they just stop, a few months
apart, but all are 1920.
So you're saying they died, right?
1920, that was pretty
close to the Spanish flu.
That was 1918.
It could have been an outbreak,
but institutionally speaking...
That's a lot of death.
I'm thinking that's a lot of death.
Listen do me a favor, let's just keep this

Hey listen I was
thinking about that book,
the one you found in the other room
with all the deaths so close together,
it seems to me shouldn't
the state have had
some level of oversight
over places like this?
Yeah, it's possible.
With that being the case,
shouldn't there have been
some massive investigation
or some level of public outcry over this?
I don't think so, Lincoln,
you've got to remember
it was a different time back then.
Asylums were considered cutting edge.
I don't think the government
put too many priorities in oversight
for facilities like this.
But there must have been something.
Lincoln, think about it.
The country's just getting
out of The Great War,
right into the Prohibition Era.
They just had different priorities.
So what do you think happened here?
Whatever it was,
it was horrible.

I did know something about

My grandfather was institutionalized here.
That's the reason why my

sometime after World War I.
I'm so sorry professor, what happened?
Shell shock, today they call it PTSD.
Yeah, my uncle had that after Vietnam,
well that and lung
cancer from Agent Orange.
No, not like this, we're
talking trench warfare,
men killing man with their bare hands,
no room to run, hide,
move, explosions everywhere
and just it's just a dirty, bloody job.

- The fuck?
- Wake up.
Wake up.
What, what time is it?
- Jennifer, Jen wake up.
- Yeah.
What, what is this?
All right, don't freak out,
just try to get your hands free.
I can't, I can't, they're
Lincoln, they're tired,
- I can't fucking.
- Okay, okay, just stay calm.
- Straight from the bottle.
- Wake up man, wake up.
- I'm up.
- Wake up.
I'm up, I'm up.
What the fuck is going on?
This is not fucking funny.
LINCOLN: Can anybody move their hands?
MICHAEL-PAUL: I can't move shit man.
TIM: Look, Lincoln, Lincoln where's
that World War II bayonet you've got?
LINCOLN: That'd be a great idea.
I've still got to get my gear, douche cow.
Settle down, Frodo.
- Fuck.
- Does your ass
ever get jealous of the shit
that comes out of your mouth?
JEN: It's not the time
for this fucking shit.
Where are we?
You guys okay over there?
You guys, you guys?
JEN: Professor, are
you all right, professor?
I'll be fine, soon enough.
(OMINOUS MUSIC BLARES)
MICHAEL-PAUL: The fuck?
You guys okay?
MICHAEL-PAUL: Are
you fucking kidding me?
JEN: What the fuck?
What do you mean it'll
be fine soon enough.
What are you trying to say Tim?
I'm saying why weren't you
tied up like the rest of us?
I was out cold right here.
Maybe he fucking ran out of rope.
He, he who?
He, they, them, I
don't fucking know Tim.
You know I didn't have
anything to do with this.
I don't think anything
of the fucking kind.
All I know is we drank your whisky
and now it's all fucking Cask
of Amontillado time in here.
As I remember the story,
he didn't wall himself up
with the fucking victim!
All right, no one's blaming you,
professor, right Tim, right?
Fine, whatever, what the fuck ever.
Let's just go.
All right, fine, fine,
let's just do this.
We'll fucking figure it out.
Where's my fucking shit?
Whoa da da da, just hang on.
Look, if we're gonna get out of this,
we gotta stay calm.
There's power in here,
it's the only way out.
It's pitch black, power for these lights
has got to be coming from somewhere.
- Let's grab some candles.
- All right.
Maybe we could follow it out.
Okay, okay, you me and him will do that,
you guys stay here,
fucking do this, we got it.
Okay, fine, perfect, perfect, you got it?
Get your shit.
Fucking shit.
LINCOLN: Grab a candle
let's go, it's gonna be okay.
Seems to be some sort of...
Seems to be some sort of sub-basement.
Yeah, well whatever it is, it's cold.
That's not gonna work down here.
I have to try.
Okay, you try.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
TIM: Oh fuck.
Looks like this is as far as we can go.
Yeah, no shit Frodo,
we're fucked down here.
We're stuck.
LINCOLN: Look man I'm
just trying to point out...
What, the fucking obvious, you dipshit.
We're fucked down here.
I'm just trying to be helpful,
- if you just let me...
- Look, I can take care
of my fucking self, all right?
Just get the fuck away from me, all right.
We're in no man's land my boys.
Frunchline is what we use
to call fellows like you,
war pigs ready for the killing floor.
You all right there man?
You know we got to check
out that last room okay.
All right, let's just go do it, come on.
(GRUNTS)
LINCOLN: Look out.
Yeah, it's that room
I was telling you about.
- Yeah, creepy.
- What is that?
Is it a trap door, I can't really see.
Yeah, it looks like a trap door to me.
Is there another level to this place
or something, what the fuck?
I don't want to fucking know.
Well, it is the only way in or out
that we found so far.
- What should we do?
- I think we should go back
and tell the others and figure
what to do from there, okay?
All right, let's go.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Hey. (LAUGHS)
- We found the stuff.
- Good, good, good.
- Lincoln, glasses.
- Oh geez, thanks.
- Come here Tim.
- Hey.
Well, looks like we found
this building's oubliette.
JEN: Who would do
something like this to us?
What did we do?
Hey, good news, Jen found our stuff.
Just happened to find it, did you?
I don't suppose you have
anymore of that whisky, do you?
I might.
It seems that everything is
here, besides a jacket mine.
Okay, well let's just gear
up, get some clothes on,
I'm fucking freezing all right.
Let's do it.
Hey, that hurt.
(GRUNTS)
Where are you going?
Yeah, I don't know about you guys,
but I really have to take a
massive dump right now, so.
Well be sure to let
us when it comes out.
Yeah, I will douche canoe.
Douche canoe.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
(GRUNTS)
Lincoln, oh, it's almost
as big as you Frodo.
Man, I really hate that guy.
MICHAEL-PAUL: Oh, it smells.
Well, whoever brought us down here
doesn't seem to mind we still
have the ability to defend ourselves.
Why do you think someone
would do this professor?
Well we know what Tim thinks.
He's just freaked out
like the rest of us,
I mean I don't blame him.
I don't blame you either, but...
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Lincoln, oh it smells like you Frodo.
Hey Lincoln.
Lincoln.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

Well, what do you think happened to him?
I don't know.
This isn't good though.
We need to get the hell out of here.
RADIO ANNOUNCER: The
storm we first reported
two hours ago has grown
to epic proportions
and has stalled out over
Michigan and parts of Ohio
and it just keeps coming on.
As a result the Michigan State Police
are asking people to stay
at home if at all possible.
These roads are becoming impassable.
Indeed many side roads are being reported
as absolute light out conditions
continue to knock out side roads,
but we've heard reports that I94 and US23
as well as The Lodge are
becoming shut down as well.
This is despite this all
started this morning,
running in shifts and our
older listeners might remember
the blizzard of 1978 and
this storm is quickly
closing in...
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
We found this.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
I don't see that we have any choice.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
It's quite a ways away,
so we better take everything we need.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
How do we know this isn't some
sick joke Michael-Paul is playing?
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Like you say, we have no choice.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Well, if this is how
they're getting in and out,
Michael-Paul's down there.
We need to get down there too.
Yep, I agree.
LINCOLN: All right.
It's very cramped and tight.
(GRUNTS)
(TRAP DOOR CREAKS)
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
We're gonna have to repel down there.
You okay with that?
Yeah, let's break out the climbing gear.
Okay.
RADIO ANNOUNCER:
From the major highways,
I94 and US23 are shut
down for large sections
and all major side streets
are also shut down.
If you live in rural
areas, it is highly likely
that the roads there
will also be impassable.
Therefore, the authorities
are asking everyone
to stick and stay where they are unless
it is a serious medical condition.
(GEAR RUSTLES)

I hope you know what you're doing.

What do you see?
If his back pack's down

Maybe it wasn't his blood.
He probably just heard
a sound or something.
PROFESSOR: I hope he
can take care of himself.
He had a huge machete sir.
He had a...
He had a what?
He had a gun, he showed
it to us right before...
He had a fucking gun?
(LAUGHS) That's just fucking
intelligent isn't it?
What was he expecting?
All right, I'm gonna
send this harness up.
Jennifer, you come down next.
Lincoln, you're last.
All right.
All right.
All right.
All right.
All right, Lincoln I'm sending this up.
Professor comes down next.
(GRUNTS)
Throw down your bag.
All right come on down.
Okay, everybody, split up,
look for a way out of here.
Where is this place?
It's like some sort of
steam pipe distribution venue.
Is that secure?
Yeah, it's good.
All right, we don't want to
burn our bridges down here.

Lincoln, come here, let
me talk to you for a second.
What's up?
That was at least a 60 foot dead fall.
There is no way Michael-Paul
made it down here on his own.
Yeah, not without some help I agree.
I'm just concerned if Jennifer thinks
that he's dead, she's
gonna fucking lose it.
I mean there could still be a chance.
I mean if the professor
thinks that Michael-Paul is...
I don't a trust a man
with kind of difficulties.
He's a fucking sociopath.
I don't think Jen trusts him either.
Well, let's try to find a way out here.
I mean we're all scared.
I'm not fucking scared.
I'm concerned.
There's a difference.
Easy, stay calm, keep our heads
and we're gonna get through this.
Gentleman, let's put those efforts
to trying to get out of here.

Battle diary of Sergeant Brian Cuttle,
the devil's own regiment.
What's all this?
PROFESSOR: Most of it
is early war propaganda,
but the rest...
Well, this one's obvious,
but some of the others.
Wait a minute.
No he's right.
I've heard most of these phrases before.
This one was on posters all over.
This was popular war propaganda
and this one we still use.
I've heard of this place before.
They called it The Red Room.
I read it about in the
history of Hodac Asylum.
Well none of this tells us
anything about Michael-Paul.
I mean this could have been the ravings
of a culture a hundred years ago.
The stories about things
that happened in this room,
things that happened to the inmates.
Jennifer, you all right?
Jennifer?
What's with the walls,
they're all written on.
TIM: It was the batshit insane inmates.
That's what it always is, right?
No sleep now for two days straight.
Jerry is giving us all
heat all morning and night.
How many cold meat
tickets have I collected
since I joined the fighting, a thousand?
Uh uh, 10,000?
This is not fit duty for a man.
One in the pocket, one between the teeth.
Everyone is gap-toothed
when I'm through with them.
It is a long way to Tipperary...
This is fucked up.
- August 9th, 1916...
- Something else
about this room?
LINCOLN: Jennifer, did
you guys find anything?
No, it's all covered over.
If there's a way out
of here, I can't find it.
I was never good at these riddles anyway.
It's just me now.
- Finding secret doors.
- It's just me.
JENNIFER: It was my major...
I don't wash the blood off my hands.

Why didn't you help Tim?
I was scared shitless,
you saw me standing there.

- Creepiest...
- Was you holding that damn...
- Place, I swear to God...
- Watching Tim...
- If one more thing...
As he was pleading, no no...

He was pleading for you
to fucking give it to him,
but you stood there holding it.
Why didn't you do anything,
you were standing right there?
That thing was two

In case you guys didn't fucking notice,
there's a seven-foot-tall
murder beast down here
who's gonna kill all of
us, let's get the fuck out.
Find us a fucking way out.
What's going on down here, professor?
Lincoln, you remember
those old history books
I was showing you, the patient directory.
Yeah, I remember.
What the fuck is he talking about?
It was in the early 20s,
there were some patients
that just vanished right
after the first World War.
Yeah, how my grandfather
survived that war,
how we survived this asylum.
Are you saying your grandfather
knew something about our experiences?
No, I'm saying he
knew enough to survive.
He knew enough to survive the war.
What else is in the book, professor?
How he survived this
asylum, that's most important.
