- [Ryan Voice-over] "How many more days

"can I spend in this room?

"Not even a room, but a basement storage unit

"in an old building in downtown Los Angeles.

"I've decorated the walls with newspaper clippings

"of the odd and the strange.

"The anomalies that go unnoticed by most people."

(ominous organ music)

"It's my homework,

"my preparation for the unknown.

"It's why they pay me.

"Barely much more than they pay a substitute teacher.

"Something, someone I used to be,

"but that is another story."

(ominous organ music)

(eerie music)

I'm at the Topanga house.

It doesn't look like anyone's lived here in years.

Trust me to make an "assess" of myself.

Scratch that.

I'm gonna have a closer look.

(knocking on door)

Hello, anyone home?

(knocking on door)

Anyone in there?

(leaves crunching underfoot)

Some kind of hatch that must lead

to a basement or a foundation cellar.

It's unlatched.

Doesn't feel quite right to enter this way.

Ryan voice-over: "Susan, it's me.

"I know you're getting used to it by now,"

"but I won't be back tonight.

"Investigating a lead.

"You've been telling me I needed a decent job.

"Well, this is it.

"Except some sacrifices need to be made.

"I just don't know what they are yet."

"Mr. Chang instructed me to inspect my first house.

"I would take any assignment as long as it got me

"out of that dingy basement,

"but the one thing that struck me as odd

"while driving through the canyon,

"Mr. Chang nor his boss, Mr. Roderick,

"two men I've never met in person,

"well, they never told me what it was

"I was supposed to investigate."

- If you think I'm leaving, think again.

I'm not going anywhere.

This house should be condemned.

Whatever you're using for a bathroom in there,

they're gonna bulldoze this place to the ground.

Come out, little girl.

Let me see your face.

What is it?

There's meat in this.

Where do you...?

- Your mother?

Where is she?

Is she coming back?

Like, soon?

(bowl thumps)

My name is Ryan.

What's yours?

- R.G.

- Like Argy?

- No, like R.G., the letters.

- So what does R.G. stand for?

- That's my name.

Does it have to stand for something?

Didn't ask you where yours came from.

- You know, you realize you can't stay here in this house

without someone taking care of you?

- This is my home.

- Show me where your mother is and I'll leave you alone,

otherwise I can't leave you.

You know, I have a friend who can help you

find clean clothes, food, everything.

- I'm not leaving.

- So, neither will I then,

until I know you're going to be safe.

(insects chirping)
