Big storm tonight.

Don't mean to pry, but I can't imagine what a girl like you wants to do with a

watch.

Give me some money

animal

Can you put her on?

Julia, she's asleep.

Please, Mom, can you please call her over so I can tell her good night?

Julia, don't think about her tonight.

Well, if she wakes up, can you just please tell her that I called?

Okay.

Don't forget.

Focus on yourself.

I don't have to remind you that this is your last chance or they'll take Clara

away. Yeah, I know that, Mom.

Yeah. I don't know how many more opportunities you'll get. Yeah, okay,

gotta go.

All right, bye.

You're a student, correct?

Yes, sir.

I'm going to become a nurse someday.

Best of luck with all that.

Around here, I'll be working the night shift.

Two guards man every shift.

One guard on patrol duty, the other on the screens.

Wow.

What is this place?

The building was wrecked during the big boom.

Assumption being, industry drives growth.

Growth brings up demand for more affordable luxury housing.

Imagine living in a place providing everything you need for a comfortable

You'd never have to leave.

And as you know, boom became bust, and here we are.

We're a waste.

You have to be careful here in the street.

Things are starting now.

Mail and storage rooms.

Plus residential tower 30 floors high.

As patrol guard, you make sure nobody gets in.

Nobody vandalizes the place. Nothing bad happens to the structure.

And nobody steals anything.

Does that happen? All the time. Steal whatever they can get their hands on.

You've been having issues with vagrants trying to make the place into a squat.

But don't let anyone in.

This job pays well for a reason.

The night seer can be long and dark.

Some of the lights are on timers, so they turn off to save on power.

The combination can make some people uneasy.

I like the night.

We blanketed the entire building with security cameras, so we only need two

guards.

One on patrol, and the other... In front of the screens. Got it.

Where's the control room?

Upstairs.

I see your partner's already here.

This is Dennis Cooper.

He's been here since day one.

Hi, nice to meet you.

I'm Julia, but everybody calls me Streak.

That's great.

Nice.

Cooper will take you through the controls, but I think you'll find the

pretty intuitive once you start using it.

You'll go on patrol once every two hours.

Cooper will communicate with you using this headset.

It packs a small camera and a microphone.

Show us the feed, Cooper.

Simple enough?

Also, we've been having trouble with electricity.

We lose the video feed from time to time, so you'll have to throw a breaker.

Got it.

You know what a breaker is?

Yep.

Don't forget the uniform.

That is the most important part of this job.

Have a great night.

There is a locker room in the back to the right if you want to change there.

Unless you feel more comfortable changing in here, which I could probably

an exception for that tonight.

I'm going to go to the locker room.

Okay.

This place is really big.

A person could spend a lifetime in here.

Well, most people don't last more than a week.

What's your story?

What's my story?

My story?

Um, let me see.

It's a very long, detailed, richly boring tale.

However, let's start with tonight's chapter.

I guess it starts out that I'm sick and tired of Dixon wheeling in some

local community college brat and expecting me to entertain them all

That's my story.

Because tomorrow or the next day or possibly a week from now, but without

question, it's going to happen. You're going to decide that patrolling a big

empty building every two hours is not what was meant for you and your life and

big aspirations.

You're then going to quit.

Then Dixon's going to bring in someone who's just like you. I'm going to sit

right in that chair. I'm going to have the same conversation and be forced to

babysit that person all night.

Really?

No tips either.

This is going to be a long night.

You have no idea.

Sorry, sweetheart.

Welcome to the big world of security.

Excuse me.

I'm going to lock up.

Gross.

It's weird.

It happens every time I try to burp.

What are you, 24?

25, 23?

All right, we're just going to stick with 24, then.

What, are you talking to me now?

Tough, right?

Bet you're a good student.

Little teacher's pet.

All right?

Fit.

Like your arms.

Do a little self -defense, maybe?

A little karate?

A little taekwondo?

Judo? Jiu -jitsu?

Jello wrestling?

Pillow fights?

Kickboxing.

Yeah.

Yeah, I do kickboxing.

Yep.

You have to for this job. Oh, yeah?

Is that what Dixon told you?

I must have missed that one. I can't kickbox.

Guess what?

I don't think I've seen one of these since 1982.

My grandma had one of these.

Do not touch my stuff!

That's quick.

Kickboxer.

Where you going?

Patrol.

Not without this you're not.

It goes on like this.

Um, do you miss me yet?

What are you doing?

Me?

I'm not doing anything.

Just a little, uh, welcome ceremony.

A little initiation to the security world.

Open the door, Cooper.

Cooper, this is not a game.

Just testing the cutoff switch.

Please open the door!

Cooper! Seems to be working fine.

I can see you.

I can't believe how huge and beautiful it is.

That's what she said.

This place is amazing.

You want to see something even better?

Why should I trust you all of a sudden?

Because I'm all you got tonight, babe.

He sits right there.

They really spared no expense.

And nobody would live here?

They never finished it.

It's so dark in here.

Ugh, what is that smell?

First night you found an intruder. Very

promising, Mr.

Hey, Cooper, did you hear that?

Hear what?

Never mind.

Complimentary first night meal.

Enjoy.

This looks like hospital food.

You know why hospital food tastes the way it does?

Why? Because it makes you want to get out of the hospital.

Think about that.

Why are you being so nice to me?

I'm not being nice. That's company policy.

A few hours, your stomach's going to be grumbling. You're going to want to fall

asleep. You need that fuel.

She's pretty.

Is that your daughter?

Yep. Are you guys close?

Hey.

Enough.

You know, I have a daughter too.

Good her name's Clara

How come I can't get 441 on the screen?

Because there is no 441.

It says 441 right here.

They never got around to finishing it before they ran out of money.

Where's the circuit breaker for the cameras?

I said there's no 441. It doesn't matter what the blueprint says.

If anyone should know, it's me. I've been here since the beginning of time.

Well, someone should check it out.

That's a good idea. Someone should do that.

So why don't you go down there?

Matter of fact, I'm telling you to go down there. Don't come back until we

441 on the grid.

What are you waiting for?

Fine, I will.

4 -4 -1 -1 -3 -7 -8 -5 -2 4 -4 -1

437 852 852 852

Hello? Someone there?

Is somebody there?

You talking to the walls now? Is that what you're doing?

What are you doing?

Nothing.

I heard something in there.

Yeah, what's that?

I don't know. Behind the door.

There's nothing there. I told you that.

You knew about this, didn't you?

Why are the cameras down there? Why were they turned off?

Because it's an unfinished section, and they told us not to go down there.

There's something there.

Impossible.

Yeah.

Can you see it?

Oh, God!

I told you something's not right.

No, we have company.

What does he want?

Probably wants shelter for the night.

What are we going to do about it?

Well, one of us is going to have to go down there.

Tell him to scram before he breaks that window.

And I guess that person will be me.

I didn't realize.

Thanks.

I'm coming with you.

Oh, really?

Now?

Sorry, buddy.

You gotta turn around.

Please, man, it's so cold out there. I have no place to go.

Can't do it. Come on, you have all that space in there and it just stands empty.

I just need one night inside.

You gotta move on, I told you. The storm's gonna get worse. Find some

Please, I'm begging you, man. I'm begging you.

I mean no harm.

I'm honest to God.

I just need one night inside.

I'll be gone before sunrise. No one will know. Please, man, I'm begging you. I'm

begging you. It's not my call.

Sorry. Streak, shut the door.

Now.

Shut it, Streak. Come on.

Hey, don't leave me here.

Come on, have some compassion, man. Have a heart.

I'm going to die out here tonight.

I'm going to die out here while you're inside.

And I hope you remember my face.

And I hope you think of me before you go to bed at night.

What's he going to do? He's an old man.

We can't leave him like this. Have a heart, Cooper.

I said no.

I'm letting him in.

No, you're not. It's freezing out there.

I'm going to lose my job for him.

You don't have to worry.

Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you.

You can stay here, but you have to leave before sunrise.

And don't go walking about. The entire building's wired with cameras. We won't

hesitate to throw you out.

What's your name?

Jim.

Look, Jim, I don't know you, but I just put myself out on a limb for you, and I

need to know you're not going to screw me over.

Cross my heart.

What's your name?

Julia. I'm sorry about earlier today, Julia.

I'm a good person, really.

I'm not a bad person.

Prove it.

Okay.

What's up, boy?

What do you think?

What do you think?

Never

are you thinking, boy?

Is it time?

Hmm?

Oh, yeah.

I think it is.

Yeah.

Let's see.

One, two, three.

And dump it back in there.

Let's see if we can do this.

One, Oh, the hell with it.

Cooper are you seeing this

Cooper

are you there

What are you saying, boy?

Oh, you want to go for a walk?

You heard the nice lady to throw us back out into the storm.

Is anybody there?

Cooper, are you there?

I hear you're playing, boy.

What

is

this? place.

Hello?

Where the hell were you?

I was taking care of some manly duties.

Where the hell are you right now?

I'm in a shelter downstairs.

Have you seen this place?

It doesn't look like anything to me.

There's like all these drawings. It's like a dormitory or something.

There's somebody still living here. I know it.

Streak, did you shut the shelter door behind you?

No, why?

Because somebody did.

I told you not to let that piece of shit in here.

Oh, no, no.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

It's not him.

Oh, it's not? Really? Who locked the door? The wind?

Please just tell me to find the exit.

Can you remember how you came in?

You can't tell me?

There are no cameras there. I told you that, remember?

I have no idea to know where you are.

A light, an arch, a chair, something familiar you remember on the way in.

You're wrong. I know where to go.

What do you mean?

I know where I am.

Street.

Street, listen to me. I can't see you. If you can hear me, don't move. Stay

right where you are. Do not move. I'm coming down.

What happened?

You okay?

You see? That homeless piece of shit that you let in locked you in.

It wasn't him.

Right.

We're going to find him right now. We're going to escort his ass out. He's going

to sleep the night in the puddles.

There's something else in there. It was not him.

Something?

What?

Hunter Buck says he left his room.

Well, let's go find out.

Jim?

He's not here.

And that's why you keep the scum outside.

Understand?

Where are you going?

I'm gonna try to catch him. Save our jobs.

Boy!

What the?

I'm locking this place up.

Well, I can't find this scumbag anywhere, and that's unacceptable.

Shit.

Found it.

Wellville, a center for physically deformed and mentally challenged

Last week, I received a phone call from an anonymous source complaining about

the treatment of the children hospitalized here.

So I decided to show up unannounced.

And what you're about to see are some of the most disturbing images this

reporter has ever witnessed.

We were told to go straight down to the basement where the Institute holds some

of its youngest patients, many of them orphans. And what we found was

horrifying.

Kid, some as young as five years of age, left unattended for hours in this

grisly basement.

We found one child covered in his own feces, sitting alone on the bathroom

floor.

We don't need to watch this.

The man at the helm of this institute, Dr.

Thorndyke, points a finger at the county.

You have to understand.

Nobody else wants these children.

Well, it doesn't seem that you want them either. We're low on staff.

We're low on budget.

Then how do you respond to the allegations of malpractice?

It's preposterous.

We have some of the best and most qualified physicians in the country. Dr.

Thorndike, is it true that some of your patients have been victims of abuse and

neglect at this institute?

All right, that's it. We're done here.

And so we leave today, but the children stay behind.

Unable to cry for help.

So we must cry for them.

I'm Martin Rollins. Back to you, Bob.

These poor kids.

They probably spent their life in there.

I could sense it. They're still there.

He's the one who locked you in.

You got confused, scared. You're a very confused girl.

I'm telling you what I saw.

Well, you're enough already.

Enough!

I know your problem.

What are you talking about?

You went through my stuff.

Yeah, I did.

Because somehow, something wasn't just quite right tonight. Something didn't

smell right.

Because in all my years here, one night shift with you has created more havoc

than anything I've ever seen.

Did you not take your three antipsychotic pills this evening?

But none of your pills. Oh, it is now.

Look, I'm not crazy.

My whole life I've been able to sense things that I can't describe.

And when I told the doctor about it, he put me on these pills. And if I don't

take these pills, then they're going to take Clara away.

Your daughter, Clara.

You can't do this.

This job is not for you. This is not right for you. This building at night. I

not crazy. I am not crazy, Cooper. I know what I saw. Please, I am not crazy.

Look, we've got to call him out of there, and then we've got to shut the

We can't let those kids out. We've got to shut the door, Cooper.

Cooper, please, I'm begging you. Please, we've got to shut the door.

Because spirits can't travel through doors?

Is that why?

You don't understand. I have seen things down there, Cooper. I have seen things

down there.

You're going to sit down. You're not going anywhere. Why not? Because you're

delusional. That's why.

You've done enough tonight.

Cooper, I've... I'm not letting you out of here.

Why?

Because you're not thinking right.

Because you put me in jeopardy. Because I need this job.

I don't have anywhere else to go.

You can take your pill and go fool someone else like you fooled me.

I can't.

No pill changes this.

Do you understand?

I'm so sorry.

Don't be.

I don't need your pity.

Fucking kidding me.

They won't leave us alone unless we shut the door, Cooper.

Or what? You're going to stun me?

I'm going to do it. Put it down.

You're not going to do it.

No, you're not, because it's just going to prove that you're crazy, and you're

going to lose everything.

Please, Cooper, I'm begging you.

I'll go down.

I'll go down, and I'll shut the door.

Okay? Okay?

Okay? See?

That's better.

What are you doing?

Cooper!

Cooper, no! Don't leave me like this! Please!

I'm not taking any chances. I can't trust you anymore.

Seriously?

Street, did you touch anything up there?

I'm not doing anything.

Goddamn generator.

It's not the generator.

Maybe we should call someone.

That's a good idea. That way we won't get fired in front of the dorm with the

homeless piece of shit that you let in here.

Maybe you can tell me a ghost story. That'll amuse him.

I'm going to try to pry this thing open and get to the breaker.

Don't do it. It's not safe.

Before it's closing!

Cooper, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm alright.

You know, there's only one thing I want to know, and I don't understand.

What's that?

When you were down in that shelter, how did you know where the entrance was?

How do you know which way to go?

I don't know.

Do you hear that?

Hear what?

Cooper,

you gotta get out of there.

Can you see something?

What did you see?

There's another thing of ghosts.

How you mumbo -jumbo getting in my head. But that if you drink.

Wait.

Let's get this subway.

I can hear the dog.

Hey, boy.

Come on, boy.

Come here now.

God damn it.

I'm not going in there.

Hey!

If you're in there, it's your last chance.

I'm shutting this door.

I can't control it.

Cooper, no!

Okay, stop!

Who's that?

Hello?

They're never going to let you leave.

Who are they?

My friends.

Why? Why would they do this to me?

They don't like grown -ups.

Is it because of this place?

Do you want me to show you?

uh

Some of us tried to run away.

The grown -ups locked them in here to keep them quiet.

They drank the bad water.

When the grown -ups arrived it was too late.

Except for one.

Mama! Mama!

Mama!

Let her out!

No! No!

No! Don't do it!

It's not her.

Yeah, yeah.

It's not your fault.

It's not your fault.

I'm okay.

This patient has been with us since she was a child.

Stuck in a coma.

Time of death, 834.

I'm sorry for your loss, Mr. Street.

I'd like a moment with my daughter.

Of course.

Take all the time you need.

Follow me.
