Before Someone Gets Hurt Page #3

Synopsis: Tim and his team are the rising stars of the ghost hunting game. One thing they all like better than a good haunt is a great prank. When the team arrives at a new investigation, they cannot figure if the occurrences are part of some elaborate master prank or if the house is actually haunted. Unfortunately, they don't find the answer until it is far too late.

wasn't ready yet.

The gentleman

in the baseball cap?

And you all would like

to film your...

your little television program

up at 311 Lenox?

- Yeah.

- Yup.

Yeah, you shouldn't

go to that house.

- It's creepy.

- Right.

Like creepy,

like the music plays

even though the power's

been turned off,

and the lights are turning

on and off, that sort of thing?

[laughs]

No, like people being chopped up

in itsy-bitsy pieces

and reassembled on the wall

in the shape of a cross

kind of creepy.

Have a good film shoot.

Hello?

[laughs]

Jamie, real original.

Jamie?

Dude, if you've been here

this whole time

while I've been setting up,

that is not cool.

[whistling]

So, who's the guy who

texted you about the house?

I can't reveal my sources.

Okay, that's cute.

But seriously, who?

A ghost.

- Stacy.

- David Ellington.

Okay, who's David Ellington?

What's with all

the questions?

Why are you being

so secretive?

I'm not.

We may want to interview him.

Who is he?

He doesn't want

to be interviewed.

- Why, what did he say?

- Who the hell is he?

David Ellington,

he took over ownership

of the property in 1992,

when the last murder occurred,

and it's been vacant

ever since.

Well, why did

he text you?

Oh, I don't know, baby.

Maybe because I'm a producer

on a hit Internet show

about haunted houses,

and he has a haunted house.

Work on him.

I want him on camera.

All right,

I'll get his address.

Wow, they found them all...

- [Tim] What?

- ...crucified.

What do you mean

crucified?

Look.

[Stacy]

All at 311 Lenox?

[Lisa]

All at 311 Lenox.

And some of them

had these strange symbols

branded on their wrists.

- [Tim] Holocaust survivors?

- I don't know.

They're all blacked out.

Ongoing murder investigations

are classified.

Even hundreds

of years old?

There's no statute

of limitations on murder.

Sorry.

- Stacy.

- Yeah.

Did you get the owner,

Ellington,

whatever his name is,

to change his mind

about being on camera?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, I told you

he won't do it, so...

And I don't care.

I said I want him.

Well, he can't.

Then let me talk to him.

No.

Why not?

Uh, because...

um, because he's...

He's what?

[Gary]

Dead.

What are you

talking about?

Wiki says he owns

the building.

Wiki says a lot

of bullshit.

David Ellington,

born 1865, died 1934.

New York death

certificate.

He was the owner of

this place until then.

And...

he died here.

[Tim]

Well, who's been texting you?

[Stefan] And why is he

pretending to be a dead guy?

I don't know,

but I can find out.

[Stefan] Please do.

And while you're at it,

find out who owns the house now,

so I know who's going

to sue me for trespassing.
