- She stabbed

herself in the back?

- Eight times to be precise.

- How's that even possible?

That doesn't make sense.

- I wish I could tell you more,

but that's everything I know.

I have included the

official police reports

for you both to read over

at your own convenience.

The reputation of this house

has grown over the years.

The murders have

created a legend

that doesn't exactly bode well

with my client's current

business interests.

Half up front, and half

when you complete the job.

- Well, this all sounds amazing,

but what exactly is the job?

- Damage control.

I'm guessing they wanna

offload this place

to some poor unsuspecting buyer.

And I bet you nobody wants

to touch this place

with its track record.

Am I right?

- And what better

way than to get two

of the very best

to reassure them.

You'd be very surprised how

superstitious people can be.

- So, what is it exactly

that you want us to do?

- Three nights, you stay here

for three uninterrupted nights,

and then report your findings

back to me, and only to me.

- That's it?

You're gonna pay us 50,000

grand just to have a sleepover?

- We will, of course, be

contacting the local press

to make people aware

of what we are doing.

Maximum exposure is crucial

to making this a

success for my client.

- And what if we find something?

- Let me make this clear,

you're findings will show

that this residence

is nothing more

than an old house.

You'll both state that your

stay here was uneventful

and that you found

nothing strange,

supernatural, or

paranormal whatsoever.

- What's the catch?

- No catch, just look at is as

a paid holiday for you both.

- And if we refuse?

- Oh, of course,

we'll take the job.

When do we start?

- You started already.

Everything's been arranged

to accommodate your stay.

- No offense, but conning

people isn't exactly

what I get paid to do.

- Mr. Donavan, I

fully understand

and appreciate your honestly.

- It's $50,000.

- But unfortunately,

the offer only stands

if both of you agree

to participate.

- I knew you were

gonna say that.

- I need your phones and your

car keys if you possess them.

This is a publicity

stunt, gentlemen.

We need it to look as

genuine as possible.

- Chop, chop, come on.

- This is non-negotiable,

I'm afraid.

- What is it?

Is there porn on the phone?

It's porn on the phone,

I'm sensing, there we go.

- Excellent, I'll

return your phones

and your vehicles once

you've completed the job.

One last thing.

- Here it comes.

- The building will be secured

for the full three days.

No one will be able to get in,

and no one will be

able to get out.

If however, either

of you wish to leave
