Did he get off on the stuff?

Was he shooting those videos

and selling them on-line?

What was he doing?

Josh tied a phone cord

around his neck

and hanged himself...

that's what he was doing.

Mattie... Mattie,

don't you think

that your friend having

the video feeds

and then doing what he did

is not a coincidence?

And if those people,

if what they're doing,

if it's real,

- if they're all dead...

- You know what I think?

I think, no matter what...

Josh is still gonna be gone.

I think you need

to go back upstairs

and erase his hard drive.

I tried.

It won't let me.

I need to move on.

I'm sorry.

Don't you want to know why?

Hello, this is Louise Webber.

Leave your name and message

and I'll get back...

Oh!

Josh?

Josh, it's Mattie.

Mattie.

Are you there?

I feel all alone.

Josh?

Josh.

Something is wrong with me.

I have seen two people

kill themselves.

My psych professor stepped out

in front of a moving bus.

All in the last week.

Have you walked

around campus lately?

Every classroom is half-empty

and no one is talking

about it.

Something is following me.

It's in my dreams.

- I saw it on the bus.

- Come on, Mattie,

do you honestly feel

there are ghosts of some kind

walking around out there?

I don't know.

But something is wrong.

You're a very smart young woman.

I want you to add this up

for me.

A flu epidemic breaks out.

People are in a weakened state;

they're fearful of each other.

And then add a trigger event:

this coincidental clustering

of suicides.

The e-mail rumor mill

goes into overdrive,

and suddenly people are seeing

strange things in the shadows?

I'm not imagining this!

Why do you think

you came here again?

It certainly isn't

because you thought

that I would agree with you.

You knew what my response

would be; you knew that

you needed to hear it.

You can't articulate

what you think

is going on out there, Mattie,

because it isn't real.

So what am I supposed to do?

Just ignore everything

I'm feeling?

No. No.

You have to face what you

think is happening out there.

You have to stand ground,

take a good, long look,

and you'll see it's not there.

You're not real.

You're not real.

Stone?

- I don't want to die!

- Stone...

I don't want to do it myself.

S-S...

I don't want to die!

- Stone! What's happening!

- I don't want to die!

I don't want to do it myself!

Stone!

Oh, my God!

I'm ready to know.

What did you find?

Well, his hard drive

was fried,

but I was able to retrieve

most of the sh*t off of it.

Apparently your boy's

into stockpiling some

pretty serious viruses.

Why would he do that?

It's a power trip.

It's like keeping nukes

in your closet.
