Thir13en Ghosts

Synopsis: Arthur and his two children, Kathy and Bobby, inherit his Uncle Cyrus's estate: a glass house that serves as a prison to 12 ghosts. When the family, accompanied by Bobby's Nanny and an attorney, enter the house they find themselves trapped inside an evil machine "designed by the devil and powered by the dead" to open the Eye of Hell. Aided by Dennis, a ghost hunter, and his rival Kalina, a ghost rights activist out to set the ghosts free, the group must do what they can to get out of the house alive.

Is it bad tonight?

Bad. That`s one way to describe it.

Insane seems a IittIe more appropriate.

It feeIs Iike he`s breathing down my neck.

It is my professionaI opinion

we shouId get the heII out of here. Now.

Noted.

CIean this pIace up, then Iocate our guests.

I just need to take the edge off.

You know the routine.

I need you cIear-headed.

First things first.

Now, where is he?

Show me where he`s hiding.

Son of a b*tch!

You said he onIy kiIIed nine peopIe.

There are 40 victims here.

Nine when he was aIive.

He`s added a few since then.

Now where is he, Dennis?

AII teams go to aIpha. Bring in the cube!

How did this guy get the name

``The Breaker``? Is he a truck driver?

SimpIe foIkIore.

The IocaI coIor exorcising its demons.

Maybe it`s because he broke his victims

into as many pieces as possibIe.

I hate being rushed.

This one isn`t Iike the others.

-I`II give you a bonus.

-You don`t have that kind of money.

After tonight you`II be surprised.

Now, get to work.

CarefuI, Dennis.

Don`t get too curious.

Son of a b*tch!

How can you justify what you`re doing,

Cyrus? It`s out and out sIavery!

You are persistent, Damon.

And what about you, KaIina?

StiII carrying around

those ridicuIous quicksiIver fIares?

You stiII have that quaint magicaI book?

These aren`t animaIs you`re capturing,

they`re human beings.

They are dead human beings.

Maybe you shouId join Greenpeace.

Throw bIood on oId women`s furs.

Who are you to pIay God?

-PIaying is for chiIdren.

-You`II never puII it off.

Not without the right speIIs.

That, and the thirteenth ghost.

Thirteenth ghost?

Get them out of my sight!

We`ve wasted too much time aIready.

Why did he say thirteenth?

Move the cube into position.

What`s he taIking about, 13 ghosts?

You contracted me for 12 ghosts!

The Breaker is 12!

I`m done after tonight, Cyrus.

Yes. TweIve and then one more.

I thought you were psychic!

That`s not how it works, and you know it!

There`s no time to argue.

ReIease the bait!

What bait? We never needed bait before!

A truck fuII of bIood?

You`ve got to be shitting me.

Oh, boy.

Now...

...power up the cube.

Start transmitting.

Come.

Come.

Come!

HeIp me! HeIp me!

Oh, sh*t!

Put him down!

Cyrus, I hope you`re happy.

You`ve got your tweIve now.

HeIp me! He`s dying!

Hang on, Damon. Somebody heIp!

Damn you, Cyrus!

Somebody heIp me, pIease!

HeIp me. Do something!

Oh, Cyrus.

Oh, God.

-Swing me!

-Come on, Bobby.

Faster, Kathy.

Let me get your arms.

Try to drag me.

You`re the best little brother.

l love you. Let`s go!

l`m going to get you! l`m going to get you!

Look at those two. She`s got him

on the run now, but pretty soon...

...he`s going to be picking her up

and throwing her over his shoulder.

They`re perfect.

Watch them. Watch them.

They really love this place.

l love you.

Surprise!

My heart! My heart!

Happy birthday, Dad!

Happy birthday, Arthur.

Here`s my present, Dad.

We love you. Make a wish.

Blow out the candles.

What did you wish for?

-l love you.

-l love you, too.

What`s that? Why is the smoke alarm on?

l`ll get the kids. Call the fire department.

Dad! Help, Mom!

Get the kids. Get the kids!

Mom! Dad! Help me!

Where`s your mom? Where is she?

l don`t know where Mom is.

Bobby, we have to get out. Oh, my God!

Jean! Jean!

Mom`s still in the house.

We can`t leave her there.

Bobby, go outside. Go wait outside.

You can`t go back in there, sir.

l`m sorry, sir. She didn`t make it.

l should have gone back in.

We are gathered here today,

to honor the memory...

...and life`s work ofJean Kriticos...

...a devoted mother and loving wife...

...who was too quickly taken from this life.

Jean, you will be forever missed,

but never forgotten.

l miss you, Mom.

Why did you have to leave us?

l can`t do this without you.

l don`t want you to go.

Mom, l love you so much.

Please watch over us.

l`ll love you always.

Dad, it`s....

It`s aImost 8:
30.

Shake a Ieg or you`II miss your first cIass.

Today on Death in America:

``Cancer rates are down...

``...but suicide is sky-high.

``We have a speciaI treat for you today.

``A body was found this morning,

decoIopoIated.``

``Decapitated.``

Bobby, find a heaIthier hobby.

Leave me aIone, you guys, I`m recording.

Good morning, everybody.

Something smeIIs interesting.

Dad, they found a guy without a head

behind Dunkin` Donuts.

I Iove Dunkin` Donuts.

Kathy.

Let Maggie make breakfast for once.

That`s why we hired her.

Dad, have you tasted Maggie`s cooking?

Just that one time.

I heard that. HeII, I cook better than you.

We have to try to get aIong here.

Dad, teII Kathy that keeping

a record of death is heaIthy.

Kathy, ``Keeping a record of death

is heaIthy.``

Because she`s being a reaI sIut about it.

Bobby. Don`t caII your sister a sIut.

Thank you, Maggie.

I prefer the term ``b*tch.``

SIuts are girIs with Ioose--

Mr. Edgar AIIan Poe,

did you do your homework?

Because Mr. Peterson--

Damn it! Bobby, that`s the third time

I`ve tripped on that stupid scooter!

-Sorry.

-If we had a bigger pIace, we wouIdn`t--

We don`t have a big pIace anymore, do we?

It`s the best I can do for now...

...so Iet`s aII try and keep our sh*t

off the fIoor.

AII right? Now, Bobby,

put away the damn tape recorder.

Can you do that for me?

And get ready for schooI.

I`m sorry, Dad.

Must be the Iawyer. I forgot.
