Did you bring it?
Here it is.
Babe Ruth's hitter for his
29th and last home run,
before the Red Sox traded him
to the Yanks in 1919.
Bad luck for the Sox.
Collector's item for my dad.
Autographed?
- Careful.
- No way.
My dad'll give me a beating
- Let me hit it.
- Are you crazy?
Come on.
It's just a baseball.
- That wasn't the deal.
- Deals change.
Right, J.J.?
Wait. You said...
Batter up.
Don't!
Great.
You can't go in there.
I have to get my dad's ball.
He'll pound me
if I don't bring it home.
I'd take your chances
with your dad.
Whatever.
For over 50 years,
the Wicker House
has been abandoned,
scarred by time, feared by all,
its sordid history
filled with dark tales.
But what's the real story
behind the Wicker House?
Is there any substance
to the rumors
of countless murders
of immigrants,
slaves, prostitutes?
Then, in 1951,
a boy taken
by the house itself.
And now, decades later,
the mansion is left
without a new owner.
But its legacy continues.
movement behind the curtains.
And then there's
the constant stream
of mysterious disappearances.
So is it just
another urban legend?
Or is the Wicker House
really haunted?
We'll investigate next week
on Sinister Sites.
looking like a jerk-off?
Somebody gonna yell "cut"? Cut!
That's terrible.
This is coffee.
Where's my Scotch?
You got five minutes for me?
Yeah, of course,
of course, of course.
Listen, sweetie, do me a favor.
Why don't you move my
lunch meeting by 15 minutes?
Make sure you tell the maitre'd
I want the same table.
- They can't screw me on the table.
- Yes, sir.
Okay, go on, go on.
That's fine.
Thanks, babe. Later.
Later, in the dressing room.
Did you get to see
some of the magic?
I thought we weren't
doing composites anymore.
You know, the fans
just think the CGI's awful,
and the whole thing's
just kind of tired.
Wow. Okay.
Uh, a couple of teenagers
in their parents' basement
write up a few negative blogs,
suddenly my hit show is tired?
Former hit show,
would be more accurate.
Walk with me.
So we, uh...
Ooh. It dropped two points
after the premiere?
It's worse than that.
You lost four points
with the 18 to 25-year-old male.
So we'll make some changes,
you know?
We'll add some
T and A, somehow.
Just set up a conference call
with my producers.
- They'll handle it, all right?
- We're a little bit past that point.
about some format changes.
Don't say or do anything
until we get the camera rolling, all right?
I'm just checking it out.
Is that a fresh coat of paint?
The location pictures were a lot creepier.
I am definitely getting
a lot of energy from the house.
Okay, well, that's good.
That's good.
But can we save that
for the camera?
- Bub is driving.
- Is that the producer?
Bub's a local hire.
- Who painted the house?
- That's a good question.
Who's got the key?
The bank Realtor, that's who.
I'm not too impressed myself, so...
What are you saying,
that I'm not a star anymore here,
- all of a sudden?
- No, no.
Don't you realize that
I just got offered ten grand
for a one-day appearance at
the Port Washington, Wisconsin,
comic book convention?
Buddy, I got fans.
You have fans, absolutely.
But you know this.
Everything's just changed.
It's the whole reality TV thing.
People want stars
to be regular Joes.
I'm not gonna make
a meal out of this.
We... We're not getting
our money's worth
Now if we were to mix in
a big-name star
actually on location,
- that could play.
- Location? Yeah, right.
You guys don't pay me
enough for that.
If you don't,
the network's prepared
to terminate your contract.
Fine. I'll book a ticket.
That's what I thought you'd say.
- First class?
- Don't push it.
I gotta take this.
Ah, you prick.
So how was the ride
with the psychic?
It was fine.
Started talking about feelings
as soon as we got here.
I told her to save it
for the camera.
She mention a husband
or boyfriend or anything?
I didn't go there, Tom.
I don't go there. Okay?
Plus, Greg's your wingman
on those operations.
I'm camera.
That's all I do.
Okay, camera. Can you get
the van unloaded, please,
and see if we can get
our location open?
Should we wake your boy up?
Dude's been sleeping
since the airport.
Leave him.
That's the kind of job
I want right there.
Sit on my ass all day,
collect a paycheck.
Just chill.
Hey, bro.
How you doing, man?
I'm Tom Rule.
I'm the producer.
We didn't get a chance
to talk very much in the car.
- Yeah, you were in there on that phone.
- Listen, do me a favor.
I don't usually fire the P.A.
Until after the second day, so,
keep your mouth shut,
and don't cheat yourself
out of the overtime, all right?
Okay.
Who pissed in his Cheerios?
Dude, the ratings are down, you know?
Perfect.
Oh, jeez.
So did you get caught up
on your beauty sleep?
Yeah. Thank you.
Well, it's nice of you
to decide to join us.
You know, Greg, I like you.
But I would hate to have
to do this show without you.
You would.
Well, you know what they say.
The show must go on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Aw, man. What do you think
they were thinking with that one?
Extreme Makeover,
Haunted House Edition.
Yeah, that's not even funny.
I told them to leave it
exactly the way that it is.
It's the grimmer, the better.
Maybe we use it.
The house did it.
Quentin could sell it.
If he shows up.
You think he'll show up?
I don't think he's got
much of a choice.
You're right.
Oh, no key.
The Realtor will
be here any minute.
Dude. You really think
we need a key?
Right.
Freaky.
Boo-yah.
After you, Tombo.
House paints house.
House lets us in.
House feeds guests.
Whoa.
Now that's what
I call hospitality.
What else this house do?
- Hi, I'm Sarah. Nice to meet you.
- From the bank.
Yeah, yeah.
You listening? All right.
Tommy thinks
you're late, but, uh...
How did you open
the gate without a key?
We thought you
left it open for us.
You guys were not given permission
to stay here tonight.
- It's okay.
- It's not okay.
Where is Tom?
He's around back.
All right.
So?
First impressions?
Not as creepy as that sanitarium
in Santa Mira, but...
nothing that a smoke machine
and backlighting won't fix.
Me likey.
We'll set up in here.
This was not our arrangement.
You cannot stay here.
Okay, look, Sarah.
Tom's going to straighten
all this out...
The bank carries
a liability in this place.
You're permitted to film here
a few hours tomorrow,
not tonight.
- You're not covered.
- Great. Um...
Dude, should I just
put it in the car?
What... Uh...
- You're late.
- You're early.
Unpack the stuff by the fireplace.
- Wait.
