Tag.

You're it.

Dr. Van Buren, you wanted to see me?

Yes.

Dr. Sanchez, have a seat.

I have some amazing news.

And I would love to hear it,

but can we reschedule?

I have class in less than an hour,

and tardiness goes against everything

that I will believe in.

Yes, I'm aware.

But this is about your class.

You see, we have been approved entry

back into the Sugar Land House.

Namaste.

Namaste.

I don't know how you smoke first thing in the morning.

Mm, I dunno how you don't smoke.

I can't figure out how you are in the top of the class

yet you purposefully fry your brain cells daily.

I can't understand how you in the top the class

and you don't fry your brain cells daily.

I'm just trying to...

Wait, are you just gonna keep repeating everything I say?

I mean, really, I'm just trying to...

You asked a new question?

My bad.

I go on autopilot with you.

Sometimes, um, you say the same thing over and over again.

Hey, be nice.

That was the nicest version I could come up with.

No, but seriously,

congrats on graduating number two in the class.

It was a fight to the finish.

Your mom would have been proud.

Thanks.

All I wanna do is make her proud.

It's been three years since she's been gone

It's crazy.

Anyway, I would say congrats

for being number one in the class,

but it ain't over yet and I'm coming for your spot.

Uh, I wouldn't it expect it any other way.

We gonna fight to the finish.

Indeed we will.

Ooh, perfect timing.

- Oh yeah. - What do you say

we drop off these mats,

grab a cup of coffee, and head on over?

Mm, I say we drop off these mats,

go grab a coffee,

you finally hit the blunt,

and we had on over.

Mm, I couldn't.

I couldn't.

You can and you should.

Sorry, I can't.

Ken-

Girl, don't you run for me, Keni!

Has President Obama taught us nothing?

Yes you can!

This girl got me out here

running first thing in the morning.

See, this is why I need to smoke.

This why I started my with a smoke, exactly like this.

This is exactly why I smoke in the morning!

I'm so excited that we get to extend

this opportunity to our students.

Hmm.

Yes, it is a rare experience

indeed.

Most don't get the honor to partake in it.

Now, I have spoken to the powers that be-

And who are they?

Nevermind that.

Oh, I don't mean to offend.

It's just that it's a new opportunity for me as well,

and I wanna make sure that I have all the information

that I can have for our PhD students.

I have all the information that you will need

inside of this paperwork.

Review it before class

and consider yourself informed.

Oh, yes sir.

Thank you, Dr. Van Buren.

Have a good day.

Tranquilo, ladies.

Let Kenidi handle this.

Oh, shit, man.

It's Jontaye.

What's up, Jontaye.

Uh, you know, we're still kind of busy.

Busy flunking out.

Look at this.

Y'all are never ready.

Ladies!

I know you had a dope time last night,

but it's officially over.

Get out.

All right, man, we heard you.

And don't be feeling on my girl.

Oh, so now she your girl?

Don't worry about it.

You know the truth.

He's right, though.

We need to get up.

Come on, baby girl.

You too.

Get up, get up.

How you lose a shoe, girl?

You party, party.

Look, you cute.

Call me

- Bro. - What?

You ready for today?

Come on.

Look at Kenidi.

I'm always ready.

Kenidi, get your ass up!

And put the bottle down!

Come on, man, let's go.

No, th-

No, no.

Quan, you have to get dressed.

We're gonna be late!

It is literally 8:15.

All I gotta do is throw my sweats and shirt and we can go.

Unless

you wanna mess this bed up again.

No!

We don't have time,

and she already don't like me.

Who, JT?

Who don't like you?

You know who.

She always got something to say.

"Jordan Ty, have you completed your assignment?

Jordan Ty, these are not the correct forms.

Jordan Ty, you have to remember to stay on course.

Jordan Ty!" - JT, JT.

Okay.

Okay, okay.

Okay. Look.

Have you ever thought that maybe she's just trying to ensure

that you're the best that you can be?

First of all,

it seems that you're standing on the wrong side of history,

because is it me or are you taking her side?

Second, how do you figure she knows anything about me?

You know,

I think I may wanna change my shirt, actually.

Why?

Who you trying to get cute for?

I'm standing right here.

Oh, boy.

It better not be Morgan

Ooh, you are pushing all the wrong buttons today.

Well, I was trying to push the right buttons,

but you're focused on the wrong thing as usual.

Quan!

All right.

Let's just go

'cause I don't think I'm gonna win today.

Come on.

You've already won.

I am standing right here.

- Crazy. - I swear

She's a little crazy.

- She's crazy. - She doesn't let anybody in

past nice o'clock.

She is a freaking psycho, okay?

Girl, well,

thank you so much for breakfast this morning.

You are a lifesaver.

Now you know better.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

- Yeah. - I just gotta be ready.

I gotta be ready for you.

I gotta be ready for the foolishness.

I gotta be ready for this professor.

I just got to be ready.

Me? Wait a minute.

What do I got to do with it?

Well, it's not you, really.

It's JT who gets on my nerves.

She's always coming for you

and then you just sit back and take it,

so I'll be ready.

Listen, God told me you gotta give grace

to those who need it the most.

And, honey, she needs it the most,

she needs it the most.

Girl, you oughta bust JT's head open

and think about heaven later.

"The Color Purple," though?

Girl.

Aunty, when it fits, it fits.

"The Color Purple" will get you through something.

Like what?

Like having a mean left hook

so I can punch JT like Sofia did Squeak.

What in the world is wrong with you?

JT is gonna be okay

'cause I have the peace of God

that surpasses all understanding.

And what she needs to understand is,

is that Quan and I are just friends.

I mean, yeah, we dated freshman year of college,

but we figured out real quick

that we make better friends than lovers.

I mean, how many times I gotta say it?

Friends, nothing more, nothing less, you know?

Yeah, for you, Morgan.

But does he know that?

I can't speak for him, Blake,

but we're friends till the end.

What?

Bitch, did you just call Chucky?

I mean...

This is not gonna end well.

What's up, fellas?

What's up, man?

Hey, ladies.

Nylah, please stand by the door

With pleasure.

There she go.

Ready to (faintly speaking).

10, 9, 8-

Seven, six, five,

four, three, two-

One.

Sorry, guys.

Class starts at 9:00 AM, not 9:01,

so try again tomorrow.

Toodles.

This is bullshit.

Thank you, Nylah.

Will you please hand out these forms on the table?

Grab a rule sheet and a drop clause.

Don't forget to take one for yourself and have a seat.

First, I would like to thank Morgan

for ensuring that last month's event

went off without a hitch.

You truly make my life easier.

Now, today is a special day for some of you.

You all are just one decision away

from completing your PhD in parapsychology.

For some of you,

you've been struggling to get your dissertation approved,

and for others you've gotten it approved,

but you're struggling to find the information

to make your topic meaningful.

But here we're always trying to find ways

to ensure your success.

So I'm here to offer you a once-in-a-lifetime chance

to bypass your dissertations

and guarantee completion to the PhD program.

- What? - You will walk in the fall.

How many of you know about the Sugar Land house?

Okay, okay.

I will be thorough.

The Sugar Land house is known

to have the highest paranormal activity in this area.

It has been deemed to some as a farce.

Others gather for tourism.

But for us,

those that actually study paranormal activity

have found that the levels

that we've experienced inside of this house,

groundbreaking.

Yes, Nylah.

Um, is this the house that makes people drop outta school?

Okay.

Let me explain what Nylah is speaking about.

Every couple of years,

we rent out the Sugar Land house

to study the paranormal activities that lies within.

And we give our PhD students the opportunity

to either complete their dissertation as designed

or forfeit it all, stay a night in the house,

record your findings and turn that in.

Now, as you know, recording findings is much more simple

than completing a dissertation.

And you just have to answer basic questions like:

In which room did you experience the most activity?

Were there more visual sightings than audio?

Or did you experience moving articles

or spirits in the room, et cetera?

Nothing that you haven't done before.

Dr. Sanchez?

Yes, Keni.

That sounds too good to be true.

What is the catch?

Well, you just have to spend the night inside the house.

Oh, I don't know about that.

You don't know about much.

Blake, stop it.

What?

It's gonna be a hard no for me.

I'm in.

I've been struggling.

I just knew you was gonna deny me.

Are you crazy?

You're gonna spend the night at the Sugar Land house?

Hell, I'd spend the night in Alcatraz

if I could be done with this

Way to count yourself out, Dane.

Thanks.

Well, I can't let my boy go alone.

Come on, man.

And Jordan Ty, don't count yourself out.

You just need to focus.

Oh my goodness!

Out of everything that we just heard,

and you wanna only address me?

Oh, um,

my bad.

You will be staying after class, Jordan Ty.

Ooh.

Now, as you were.

Do we have any questions or concerns?

Yes.

What is the exact length of the stay in the house?

See?

Now, that's why you're the top of your class.

You would have to arrive by 5:00

and then you will meet a caretaker

by the name of Kameron,

Kameron Gassana.

He will be there to greet you.

He will give you all the rules

and regulations of the home.

If you look at the sheets that were passed out to you,

that explains all the things that you should do

to prepare before getting inside of the house.

There's an NDA that states

whether you leave the house early or if you stay,

you can't discuss what happened in the house

besides the specific questions

that are listed on the finding sheet.

The most important one is the drop clause,

and I need that one back today.

If you choose to go into the house,

once the doors are locked

and you leave before the night is over,

then you are automatically dropped from the program.

There will be no discussion, no debate, no explanation.

So this is what Nylah was speaking about earlier.

So this form is the most important.

But everyone will sign it

and I will get a list from Mr. Gassana

saying who decided to stay in the house.

Yes, Morgan.

So if we don't show up, we risk nothing?

We can just continue working on our dissertation as normal?

Yes, ma'am.

But if we do show up,

our name goes on the list

and there's no turning back?

Well, not quite.

You can show up, but if you change your mind-

Or if you chicken out-

If you change your mind for any reason,

then you just default back to your PhD requirements

because technically you wouldn't be on the list.

So how do we know we can trust this dude?

What do you mean?

Yeah, like, what if he lies about the list?

And why would he do that?

I don't know.

People be tripping.

Okay, so let's just say whoever decides

to stay in the house,

you can pick one person

to text me the list of those people

and then I'll take Mr. Gassana's list

and I'll compare the two,

checks and balances,

and then everyone's covered.

How's that?

Okay. Great.

Last but not least, we ask that you use a car service

or that you carpool.

We don't wanna bring a lot of attention to the house.

But I'll leave that to you guys to figure out.

Oh, no, we definitely driving.

Yeah, 'cause you got the car, so for sure.

Okay, I will give you all a minute

to decide what you're going to do.

If you know that you're going into the house,

then you're free to go.

If you need to speak to me,

I'll be available shortly.

Jordan Ty, I will speak to you outside now.

See what I mean?

Look, nothing that I say

will be significant right now.

Just try not to get into an actual argument with her.

I mean, you are almost done.

You're damn right I'm almost done.

Okay, so just-

I'm going to that house.

I'm done dealing with her.

Wow. Okay.

Then it's, it's, it's final.

We're going the house.

Are you sure?

Your dissertation is airtight?

Yeah, no, I'm, I'm positive.

Plus who's gonna protect you?

You are.

Of course.

That's right.

So go and have this conversation

so we can get up outta here

and finally mess up that bad.

All right?

- Okay. - All right.

Just don't say nothing.

Jordan Ty, what seems to be the problem?

First of all,

why can't you call me JT like the rest of the world?

Because I'm not the rest of the world, I'm your family.

Ugh.

Why does everyone keep reminding me of that?

See you, Dr. Sanchez.

Thanks for the bailout.

Don't thank me yet.

Be safe, fellas.

I keep reminding you because clearly you keep forgetting.

What is so wrong with me wanting what's best for you?

What makes you think that you want better for me

than I want for myself?

I never said that.

Is that what you heard?

That's exactly what I heard.

I've made my mistakes in the past, sure.

Who hasn't?

But you and the rest of the family

act as though a person can't change,

like I'm not better.

- Hey, y'all. - Hey.

So ladies, what are we thinking?

Hmm.

I don't know about this, Keni.

I mean, really, we're the top of the class.

What reason do we have to go?

It's not like we aren't ready to graduate.

I mean, to do something different, okay?

To be the best of the best.

To know we completed this course on all levels.

Like you said, we already know we're gonna graduate,

that's easy.

Do something different

like die from heart palpitations?

I started panicking as soon as she just mentioned the house.

I should have drank less

so that I could concentrate more.

Don't matter to me.

Drunk or not, I'm not going.

I've heard terrible things about that house.

Facts.

I heard most people that go in,

they don't come back.

Yeah, that's true.

That's why they only do it every few years,

for liability.

Oh, I heard it was because so many people

leave in the middle of it

that it dropped our graduation rate for our program.

Remember, if you leave in the middle of it,

you will be dropped immediately.

But this is our job.

This is what we signed up for.

Come on, what's the point

of getting a degree in parapsychology

if you're too afraid to use it?

Uh, well, I was gonna be teaching for the most part.

Guys, the more we talk about it,

the more excited I get!

And I heard it so freaky inside that house

that you can't even sleep if you wanted to,

and a girl like me needs her beauty sleep.

I like a full eight hours.

Again,

too hungover to think this through.

Well, I don't know what conversation you're listening to

because I literally said I've died multiple times

since we started talking about the stupid house.

You did not say that.

Well, if you spoke Blake,

you would know that's what she meant.

We speak English around here.

I'm-

Dang.

What did you guys do last night?

Just a little kickback.

No invite?

Oh, he was with, uh-

A group of guys.

You wouldn't have fun.

Next time, though.

It's a date.

That's how you do it girl.

And I'm still not going inside that house.

Hell, me neither.

So I guess it's a date on this side of the realm.

I'm looking forward to it.

Mm.

Well, whatever. I'm going.

It sounds interesting.

Justice?

I gotta smoke on it first,

but the odds looking good.

Ladies.

I'm not saying that you haven't changed.

What I am saying

is that when you hear the words stay focused,

then you remember to do just that.

You remember to take your meds

when you hear stay focused.

You remember to show up for your appointments

when you hear stay focused.

You asked- - I know what I asked for.

Please don't interrupt me.

You asked for those exact words

and I honored that,

and ever since I've been getting punished for using them.

What do you want from me? Huh?

You wanna be best friends?

You wanna hang out like we used to when we were younger,

I call you and we talk on the phone all hours of the night?

Jordan Ty, it's the least that you can do.

That and take your pills

so that you don't hurt someone again

by not doing it.

Wow.

I can't believe you went there.

Well, just for the record, I love your mother.

It was never my intent to hurt her.

I freaked out.

And that was before I was diagnosed.

But I'm better now.

Damn it, I'm better!

I know it'll be the best date ever,

but can we concentrate?

Sugar Land house.

No, that's what I'm saying.

I can't concentrate.

They're the top two in the class.

And if they go and we don't,

then we stay number three and number four by default.

You know that I need to be able to-

Compete with the best.

Yeah, I know.

But you already work as Dr. Sanchez's assistant.

You should be good.

I don't wanna be good 'cause of connections.

I wanna be good because I did the job.

If I wanted connections,

I would've stayed home and run my father's business.

I wanna make it on my own.

Well, let's go back to the house

and I'll make a light salad or something,

'cause I can't think anything without food in my stomach.

Ma'am, we just had breakfast like an hour ago.

Correct. That is why I said a light salad.

You gotta listen better.

Hi, Morgan.

Hey.

Hey, what's up?

Hey, Quan!

You wanna help us figure this out?

Oh, yeah, of course.

Come through.

What you guys talking about? - Hey.

Just about the house.

Are, are you going?

Yeah, of course.

Yeah, you guys going?

Is JT going?

I know that you are better,

and I want you to stay there.

We were supposed to do this together.

We were gonna be teaching

at the same time at the same school.

We were a force!

We were gonna take on the world,

the youngest to graduate undergrad

and then our master's.

Listen, I know that we grew up as cousins,

but we were more like sisters,

and now you-

Can't do this.

=

I'm sorry for lashing out in class.

Can I go?

Sure.

But before you do,

don't go into that house.

You don't need it.

You graduate next year anyway.

But if you have to go,

just listen to the rules.

I've read the files,

and everybody who makes it through the night

follow the rules.

I'm only stressing this because I really love you.

I want you to be great.

Yeah. Okay.

Can I go?

Going to the house?

- Yes. - Quan!

You better go.

Yeah. - Catch you guys later.

Yeah, see you later.

All right.

It give, like, old architecture.

16, 1700s at least.

This will be fun.

It will be fun

He just came from a tree?

No, he came out the tree.

- He just- - He came out.

Quan.

- All right, let's go. - We got the blood of Jesus.

Come on.

You are.

Okay, all right.

Yeah, it's what we came here for.

It's gonna be fine.

Let's find out.

- Hi, sir. - We just go.

He just need to tell us to go, we go.

He doesn't talk.

My name is Kameron Gassana.

Welcome to the Sugar Land house.

I have been the caretaker for this house for many years.

It was passed down to me through my family's lineage

for over 10 generations.

As you may imagine,

I am very attached to the property.

I expect you all

to be on your best behavior

in the house.

I would like for you to treat it

as if it were your own.

You have been set up properly.

There is food for you to last you throughout the night.

There are towels, bedding,

personal hygiene products, so on, and so forth.

But before we move forward,

I must get the names of everyone here.

I must turn in the list

immediately when you are settled.

You, sir,

give me the names of everyone here

and then I can check them off the list.

Oh, okay.

Well, I'm Jarvis,

always down for whatever.

There's my right hand man, Dane.

And that's Kenidi, he's cool, but he drinks a lot.

We got the princess JT and the papa Quan by default.

And that's Keni, who I like to call Brandy Smurf,

and her bestie Justice,

who I've referred to as Bob Marley,

if you know what I mean.

That's Morgan.

She's sweet as pie and she loves the Lord.

And that's Blake,

who I'm pretty sure is still thinking about the fact

that you said there's enough food to last through the night

because she is forever hungry.

But that, sir, is the lot of us.

Thank you, Mr. Jarvis.

Apparently I know how to pick them.

Err, indeed you do, sir.

I'm here for you.

Thank you again.

So let us go inside the house

and take a brief tour.

There's not much it.

You don't wanna shake that hand

Over there is the dining area.

Over there is the lounging area.

Upstairs are the bedrooms.

There are multiple bathrooms,

two being downstairs, three being upstairs.

We have enough bedrooms for you all,

so choose whichever you like.

You are the princess, right?

The spot closest to the door

is better for your reception.

It is uncommon, though.

This house was built many years ago.

Cellphone towers and the outside world

was not in consideration.

This house

was built to keep people in,

not let them out.

I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.

Oh, that's all me.

My bad.

Sorry, my bad.

Now, there are a set of rules

that will help you get through the night.

They are always and always have been

kept in the kitchen in the drawer.

They will help you to navigate

in the most successful way.

Are there any questions?

It is almost time for me to look up.

Uh, hey, man, why you in such a hurry?

I mean, you're acting like you gotta be out of here

before a certain time

Oh, I do.

I would never stay the night.

Never?

Never.

Um, and how much time you got to spare?

I have about seven minutes before my exit.

Hey, uh, look

I don't think I'ma be able to do this.

What you mean?

This don't seem weird to you?

I mean, I've been paying attention

to that man this whole time.

Hell, he act like he's scared to stay in the damn house.

You so damn scary.

He's supposed to be that way.

He in on it.

He probably work for the university or something.

Mm-mm, it don't feel right.

I ain't doing it.

So you just gonna leave me?

No, I'm trying to tell you to come with me.

We still got time.

Look, we can scratch our names off the list,

keep working on your dissertation.

It ain't that bad.

You right.

See?

Nah, it ain't that bad

'cause I haven't done nothing.

I keep submitting for approval

and I keep getting trash.

This is my last hope.

My parents, they gonna freak out if I don't do this.

They calling me a career student at this point.

Look, I'ma be honest.

I found out they took out a second mortgage on the house

after I ain't graduate last year,

and I was already a year behind.

I gotta stay.

I cannot keep disappointing them.

Why didn't you say something?

I could have helped.

Shit, you the reason I made it this far

in the first place.

Look, it's all good, bro.

It's about the time I do something on my own.

Hey, but can you come pick me up?

Oh, of course.

I'ma be here bright and early.

My dog.

Last minute, ladies and gentlemen.

I will lock the door at 6:00 PM.

If you choose to be on this side of the door,

I will not reopen it until 10:00 AM.

Again, I will not open it until 10:00 AM,

so you will be here until then.

Take heed to the rules.

Be smart.

Be safe.

And take care of my home

or else it will take care of you.

Good day.

Oh, no.

Hell no!

I'm, I'm coming with you.

Can you take my name off that list?

Jarvis, right?

Yes sir.

Smart man.

Good day, ladies and gentlemen.

I hope to see you in the morning.

I don't know about this, man?

All right, uh,

let's get a good start

and finish the tour of the house.

You have sound, I have...

I think we may be able to get through our list

of answers fairly quickly.

I'm on it. That's what we do.

Quan!

Let's go find our room.

All right, let's go.

What up, Dane?

Uh, roomies?

Yeah, man.

Why not?

Okay.

The rules.

Yes!

Oh, ma'am, can you stop long enough

to help me find the rules?

Fine.

Is this what you're looking for?

Oh, yeah.

Oh.

Hey.

Hey, what happened?

I, I, I, I heard kids laughing, just,

just all of a sudden a burst of laughter.

Did you see anything?

I don't think so.

Let me check again.

Well, let us hear the recording.

I, I wasn't actually recording at that moment.

I was, I was checking the levels

because the equipment was doing something weird,

and then bam!

Jesus.

Voices.

It's okay.

Hey, hey, Morgan,

are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for checking.

Yeah, you know I'ma always check up on you.

Quan!

Guess you gotta go.

Yeah, but that don't change what I said.

- I know. - All right?

- Thanks. - Okay. Alright.

Nothing?

Nothing.

I didn't see anything, did you?

I'm sorry, but you can't just leave.

We gotta look at it together.

How long do you wanna look, Big Dane?

What, what, don't, you can't call me Big Dane man.

So what happened?

Well, you would've known if you came downstairs.

So now you mad?

I don't connect with these people.

You know that.

JT, you also don't even try.

Well, I could focus more on them and less on you.

Yeah?

Mm.

Yeah?

Are you guys gonna come down to eat?

There's food for days down there.

Yeah, we'll be down.

Just give us a second.

Can you just put that on hold for me?

Did you say hold?

Come here, girl.

Ugh.

We haven't even been here an hour and already two screams?

Is it even dark outside?

JT, you know,

I really don't get why people don't get you, babe.

Oh, hush.

Let's go see.

Oh, you coming this time?

How sweet.

What happened?

I just found her there.

Is she did?

I don't know. Somebody needs to check.

I, I don't want to do it.

Please don't make me do it.

How about...

- Don't look at us. - Don't look at us.

I'll check for you, Morgan.

Um, no.

You won't be doing anything for her.

I'll do it.

She act like she ain't never seen a dead body before.

Most people haven't, with your unsensitive ass.

Hell.

We study the paranormal.

You can't be comfortable with the dead

once they've crossed over if you're not comfortable now.

It's our job to understand the voyage

from beginning to end.

Well, if she ain't the Harriett Tubman of ghosts.

Oh, this is a whole nother meeting of let my people go.

What's going on?

Please tell me the university

is playing a trick on us, please.

Maybe she just choked on something

and no one was here to do that Heimlich shit.

Hey, hey.

It's okay. It's okay.

W- what happened?

Did you just find her like that?

Mm-hmm.

So,

you're making clear decisions now.

Come on, JT, not now.

We need to call someone.

Yeah.

Let Kenidi handle this one.

I always gotta come save the day, huh?

Kenidi is here to save the day,

always making moves out here, huh?

Well, the door's definitely locked

and the reception's real spiraling,

maybe half a bar.

♪ Ain't time for running ♪

I did my part.

I'm back.

It's okay.

Kenidi is disturbed.

Blake was a cool chick.

I second that.

Agreed.

W- we can't just leave her laying there like that.

She is right.

Somebody gotta move her.

I think that's a crime,

to move a body before the cops come.

Man, well, look, man,

the cops ain't going to be here for a long time.

We gotta eat!

And I for one am not about to eat

with no damn body at the table.

Well, how do we know that she choked?

How do we know that the food didn't kill her?

I'm not eating that.

But I'm really hungry.

It's dinner time.

I didn't eat before I got here.

I am too. Something gotta give.

Can we, can we just,

can we just move the body first?

A- a- and try to be respectful.

She was a person

and Morgan's best friend.

I'm sorry, Morgan.

Yeah.

My bad, Morgan.

Kenidi, help me move the body.

Nope.

Oh, Kenidi will not be taking care of that.

I'll help you move the body.

Thank you.

If you would just stop speaking in third person.

Kenidi will.

My bad, homie.

I, I'll try.

Don't worry about it.

Where are you taking her?

Somewhere close.

We won't, won't travel too far.

Okay.

Oh, there's a bathroom off the foyer

that would be the best,

and we can close the door.

Okay. Yeah, sure.

All right.

Um.

Just, just push her towards-

All right, here we go.

Let me grab legs

Up higher.

There you go.

- Oh. - Okay.

Oh yeah. Just follow me.

Just follow my voice.

Careful, okay?

Easy guys. She's been through enough

Oh, Blake.

All right, guys, be gentle.

Good job. Good work.

Come on, Big Dane, you strong, man.

Come on. - Come on, Kenidi, shut up!

Straight through.

Get the, get the door.

Get the door. - I got it,

I got it, I got it.

Come on in.

Got it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, we gotta...

Catch her, catch, catch her hand.

Slide her back.

Is she good?

Okay.

Let's, let's get outta here.

Hey, great job, guys.

You didn't drop her or anything, not once.

Um, thanks.

Yeah. Appreciate it, man.

Quan, do something.

What do we do before we eat?

We pray first?

That's right.

Always say your grace.

It'll help you get to heaven.

Hey!

What's going on?

Why are you still crying?

Because

I asked her to come,

and now she's dead

and it's all my fault.

Get over it.

Everyone dies.

And the way she used to shove food

in her mouth daily,

It would've happened sooner or later.

- Seriously? - I'm so sick of you!

Then do something.

JT!

Chill.

Let's go!

She's not worth it.

Who's not worth it?

Okay, we need to figure this shit out.

People are dying,

kids are laughing and talking and disappearing and shit,

and now you're fighting?

Okay, I came here to guarantee

that I stay at the top of the class.

Do you know what my future job opportunities are

because of that?

Hmm? Hmm?

Hmm?

I have a meeting with Theresa Capputo next week!

The Long Island medium, for God's sake.

I've been working my entire life to ensure my future

and now death is in this all playing peekaboo!

I need to smoke.

All right, everybody, stop.

Okay, stop.

Justice, you not the only one with shit at stake, okay?

Now, no one is leaving this living room

until we figure out what's going on.

We need a clear plan 'cause I for one just know

shit's gonna get worse.

Dane, you might be able to tell

those flunkies what to do,

but not me.

Quan, I'm going upstairs and I suggest you follow me.

I don't like her.

Look, I'm gonna handle this.

But I agree,

we need to come up with a plan.

Okay, well, can you at least come to my room with me?

I really need to smoke.

My nerves are bad.

I can just get it and we can come back down.

All right.

Okay.

Okay.

God forgive her.

Come on. We gotta go.

Do you have no compassion?

Morgan just lost her best friend

and all you can think about is your jealousy.

You couldn't even stay downstairs long enough

to find out the plan.

You know we have to do more than just sleep here.

We have work to do.

Yes, we do.

JT, look.

Help!

Help me, please.

Please.

Help me.

Help!

Help me, please.

JT!

100 lashes. 100 lashes.

100 lashes. 100 lashes.

100 lashes.

100 lashes.

100 lashes.

100 lashes.

100 lashes.

100 lashes.

100 lashes.

100 lashes.

100 lashes

100 lashes.

100 lashes.

100 lashes.

Help me.

You've sinned against your body,

sinned against your body,

sinned against your body.

I'll take down.

Ready?

I'm so sorry for whatever I've done.

Please, you don't have to do this.

JT!

JT!

No!

No!

JT.

No!

Where's JT?

She gone!

- He's not here. - God.

Yo, what is going on?

- No, no, no, no. - Where did he go?

Sorry, but I need this.

Hell, we all do.

I'm next.

Uh, no.

I'm next because it's mine.

That's fair.

Now, what the hell?

We need to figure this thing out,

'cause is it me

or did we just see them disappear under a bed?

I can't believe they killed JT.

Why?

Out of everyone,

she's the only one who actually deserved to die.

Justice.

Mm?

The only one that's gonna miss her

is pulled under that bed right along with her.

Justice!

I'm so sorry, Morgan.

This is definitely not your day.

You know what ?

I'm really starting to believe this is real.

No shit, Sherlock.

Don't take it out on me.

Ain't nobody taking out on your overly emotional ass.

You know what?

First off, I'm recanting my roommate invitation, okay?

And second, you the one that's being emotional.

All I did was make a statement.

I'm not the one pulling nobody ass up under the bed,

so don't take it out on me.

This is not what I thought this was gonna be.

Well, I didn't sign up for any of this.

Actually you did.

That's the issue.

None of us knew what to expect, not any of this.

And to answer your question, Dane,

it's all feeling really real

and it sucks.

I don't like it.

I'm not sure what to believe,

but I know paranormal activity when I see it.

And since I'm not the only one who's getting a degree

in parapsychology,

we all know that we have to believe

what we see with our own eyes.

Now, the last thing we have time for

is long-ass conversations and huggy moments,

but you two need to hug this shit out

because we need to regroup

so that we can survive this night.

I said hug this shit out!

Man, I ain't hugging-

Hug!

Man!

Better.

Now, let's make this next move our best rules.

We need the rules.

What did that weirdo guy say before he left?

Does anyone remember?

He said we need the rules.

I was checking my equipment at that point,

so I missed most of the opening speech.

He said we need the rules!

Well, where are the rules?

Oh, the kitchen.

I remember.

All right, look.

Well, number one rule from here on out

is we stick together, okay?

I don't care about girl parts,

I don't care about boy parts, all right,

I'm holding on to all of y'all.

Does anyone have tequila or vodka?

Hell, I'll drink rum at this point.

Here you go.

I don't know if I'll ever sleep again,

but I'm right there with your, brother.

All right, let's go.

It is not here.

It has to be.

He specifically said in the kitchen.

Blake.

Oh, I know, sweetie.

We're gonna let the authorities know about Blake.

No, Blake has the rules.

Blake has the what?

The rules.

Come on, man!

This too much!

I could have flunked out for this!

Damn.

Is it like that, Dane?

Exactly like that.

Blake already found them.

She has them

Like, physically?

Yes.

- Oh. - Oh my God.

You gotta be kidding me.

I'm not!

Who's going in there?

No, I'm not going in there.

No, I already told you I'm not doing it.

Wait, wait a minute.

What do you mean?

Blake didn't have anything in her hand

when they carried her out.

I know, but it has to be on her somewhere.

We, we gotta look for it.

Shit!

Shit, shit, shit!

"Get your PhD," they said,

and for what?

I would've been just fine on my master's.

"If you can't be a real doctor, get your PhD."

I hate the sight of blood, man.

Shit, shit, shit!

I, I really need a drink right now.

I really,

I just really need a drink - Hey, hey!

Pull it together, man.

We here now.

Pot.

Kettle.

If we find the rules, we can survive this house.

Okay?

Okay.

- Okay. - All right, everyone,

just stay calm.

Let's just, we'll find,

we'll figure out something.

Oh, Jesus.

Why the hell are they always laughing?

I don't know, because ain't shit funny.

Okay.

Thing one, two, and three,

listen to Kenidi because Kenidi knows.

Let's just be civil about this.

All we need to do is get into the bathroom.

Do you see a man who is wise

in his own eyes?

There's more hope for a fool than for him.

Oh, whoa!

You see how I handled that?

Yeah, but can you handle the bathroom?

I'm feeling confident.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

Come on, come on.

Come on.

May Jesus be your fence.

Don't do that,

don't do that.

Don't do that.

The blood Jesus.

Anybody in here?

Oh, the blood of Jesus.

The blood Jesus.

Okay, I'm good.

Kenidi's good.

Kenidi's got...

Kenidi's got this.

Just, just stay here, okay?

Okay, okay, you can do this.

You got this. - Okay.

Don't, don't leave.

Do not leave.

- Be careful. - Be careful.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

W- what side did you say it was on?

- K- Kenidi, Kenidi. - Oh my God.

Kenidi, come back.

Kenidi, Kenidi!

One,

two,

three.

Kenidi!

Someone help me.

Please help.

Kenidi!

Whoa!

Where'd he go?

No, no, no, no, man.

Come on.

I'm so sick of this.

Ain't nothing about this fun no more.

Just forget it, man.

I quit. I quit.

I don't care about any of this anymore, man.

I'm out.

I'm gone. I'm gone.

Yo, let me out.

Come on.

Yo, let me out!

Come on, open here.

That's not how this works.

We need the rules.

Yeah, we already tried that.

But just case you haven't noticed,

Kenidi's gone,

disappeared, vanished, poof.

I'll do it.

No, I'll do it.

I should have did this the first time,

but I need you to follow directly behind me,

all right?

We go as a group.

I just need you to stand by the door

just in case they try to do

that laughing trickery stuff.

Okay.

When Kenidi asked, "What side is it on?"

Blake raised her right hand.

Blake is dead.

Yes.

I meant the-

The girl, right.

She meant the girl raised her right hand.

So you were saying, Keni?

I was just saying that you should start

on that side first.

So are we supposed to trust the laughing trio.

It's our best lead.

Or you can pat her down and hope for the best.

Sorry, Morgan.

All right.

Right side it is.

- Here we go. - Okay.

If you're listening to this,

congratulations on paying attention to my introduction.

I'm positive that you will have a safe

and eventful stay in the Sugar Land house.

Well, it's too late for safe.

He nailed eventful on the head.

Mm-hmm.

There are a few things you must know

to have a successful night.

While they were eating,

Jesus took bread, gave thanks, and broke it.

Two.

God's will is for you to be holy.

So stay holy.

Stay away from all sexual sin

and each of you will control his own body

and live in holiness and honor.

Three.

Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes?

There is more hope for a fool than for him.

Four.

Do you not know that you are God's temple

and that God's spirit dwells in you?

If anyone destroys God's temple,

God will destroy him

for God's temple is holy,

and you are that temple.

Five.

For you were called to freedom

as an opportunity for the flesh,

but through love serve one another.

Six.

His master said to him,

"Well done, good and faithful servant.

You have been faithful over a little.

I will set you over much.

Enter into the joy of your master."

All this for some damn riddles.

What does that mean?

This is a setup.

I think they're playing with us.

We weren't meant to leave this house.

And we all signed the drop clause paper.

No one from the university will even come looking for us.

They'll just think we quit the program.

No, they're scriptures.

W- we gotta listen to 'em again,

one at a time.

What?

Go back.

They're scriptures.

The rules are in the words.

While they were eating,

Jesus took bread, gave thanks, and broke it.

Two.

Stay away from all sexual sin,

then each of you will control his own body

and live in holiness and honor.

Three.

Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes?

There is more hope for a fool than for him.

Four.

If anyone destroys God's temple,

God will destroy him,

for God's temple is holy,

and you are that temple.

Oh no.

I knew I shouldn't have smoked!

I'm not a smoker!

Calm down.

Don't tell me to calm down.

I went my whole life without smoking,

and the one time that I do is do gonna kill me?

They're coming of us.

It's our turn.

Yeah. Well, I ain't going.

Shit. Okay.

Get, get behind me.

If they take you two, they gotta take all of us.

Hold on to one another.

Oh, thank God.

What do we do now?

Well, I for one could use a bite to eat

while we figure everything out.

Seriously?

I'm just saying

we already know there's nothing wrong with the food

and all we gotta do is thank God,

and I was gonna do that regardless, so...

I'm not against that.

I've been hungry since we got here.

As long as we go together.

- Yeah. - Okay.

What are you doing?

I came in here as a student

and I plan to leave with my PhD.

The only thing standing in the way of that

is that door opening

and us filling out these forms.

Now, I don't know why I'm still here

after violating rule number four,

but in the case that we survive the night,

I want everything to be completed.

Our equipment?

It's in the dining room.

Okay.

Well, let's go.

Okay, so we had some wild activity.

All right.

Good job, ladies.

I'm exhausted.

Well, if nothing else,

we have proof of the activity inside the house.

Yeah.

Anyone wanna try for some sleep?

- Yeah. - Mm.

Especially before it gets too dark

and we can't see anything.

Altogether.

One room, one bed.

That's been my number one rule.

But look, no funny business, all right?

I'm not in the mood tonight, ladies.

Shut up.

Okay.

Yeah.

Wait, are we taking our shoes off?

Hell no.

Mm.

♪ For you were called to freedom, brothers ♪

But do not use your freedom as an opportunity

for the flesh,

but through love serve one another.

I ain't taking nobody hand.

I'll do it.

I got this scary little girl.

Oh, man.

Breakfast.

You want us to make breakfast?

I actually had a lot to eat last night,

so I'm pretty full.

I'll pass on-

Breakfast!

A- a- are you hungry?

Do you want us to make you something to eat?

One breakfast!

Okay.

All right, one...

You think they like eggs?

Thank you, uh...

Stop!

I'm sorry.

I can't do it.

I can't move.

You can do it, Keni?

It's like my feet won't move from where I'm standing.

A "Color Purple" reference.

Blake would have really appreciated that.

The Lord is my shepherd,

I shall not want.

He make maketh me lie down in green pastures.

Ooh.

He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restores my soul.

He maketh...

He leadeth me down paths of righteousness

for His name's sake.

I can do it.

I'll do it

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil

for thou are with me.

Ooh.

Thy rod and thy staff comfort me.

Thou prepareth the table for me

in the presence of mine enemies.

Thou anointed my head with oil.

My cup runneth over.

Surely goodness

and mercy shall follow me

all the days of life.

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Amen.

Good morning.

Here's your breakfast.

Pinky, Sky, Olive,

let us pray.

Let us pray!

Let us pray.

Let us pray.

Let us pray.

Thank you, Heavenly Father,

for the food that was prepared for me today,

for nourishment, O God.

No, no, no.

No, no, no, no!

Let's pray.

In the name of the Father, the Son,

and the Holy Spirit,

let us all say.

Amen.

Let's get ready, children.

Get dressed.

Well,

it's been a while

since we've had this many visitors at one time

come the morning.

So I'm pleased with the amount of work

we can get done today.

I'm expecting 100 pounds of cotton picked per person

to avoid any kind of lashin'.

You wouldn't wanna end up

like that heathen child Quan

who chose to fornicate in my home, now, would you?

Fornication, fornicator.

I asked you a question!

No.

What a horrible thing to have happen.

But rules are rules for a reason.

How on earth would we get along

if there was no order?

It's time.

Ah, it's to go to the fields.

Let's go up and open the door.

His master said,

"Well done, good and faithful servant.

You have been faithful over little.

Enter into the joy of your master."

Walk through the door

two at a time.

Walk slowly, but with haste.

Oh, man.

Look, I can't tell you right now,

but you were right,

I should have listened to you.

It's a good see man.

You too.

You two, come on out.

No, no!

Oh, no.

Help us, please.

There's nothing we can do now

You can open the door.

I can't open the door until 10 AM.

I already told you that.

Well, what are we supposed to do now?

We wait.

No.

We have 25 minutes.

I knew we wouldn't make it.

I'm so sorry.

Time to get to work.

Sit!

This is it.

I love you.

I'm so sorry.

I love you too.

Close your eyes.

Get to work!

I've always loved my home

and took pride in taking care of my slaves

and my property.

I was known on other plantations

as the nicest owner in the land,

so much so that other slaves were grateful

when they were sold to me.

All I required was for them to obey my rules,

six simple rules.

However, there is always someone who does not want to obey,

like your friends,

like those rebellious slaves

that decided to poison my food.

Do you know how hard it is to die in your home

when you yourself have honored the rules?

No, you do not!

But my babies, my babies are so faithful to me,

they stayed here with me the whole time.

And every so often we get visitors,

selfish,

little mongrels that take advantage of my home

and do with it as they please.

They have no idea the hard work

and dedication I've taken in preparing it for you,

and being here working my babies to the bone

so that it may present itself worthy

and appropriate for viewing.

And yet all that hard work is tossed aside,

and I would like to know why.

Um, we don't know.

Of course you two can present me with some insights.

I watched you two walking around with your gadgets

and your gadgets.

But you were the only two

who tried to understand what I do here.

Why?

We, we're, we're students,

students of the unknown.

We,

we just wanna understand what happens in this house.

We needed to document

if the house is as haunted as people say

Haunted?

Why earth would anyone think my house was haunted?

Well, we're having a conversation with a dead person,

that qualifies as haunted.

And those three

have been taunting us the entire time.

You silly children.

I sent them to help you,

to guide you through the nots,

that you'd have some assistance.

It wasn't until your simple friends

started violating my rules

that things turned sour.

Well,

can I ask a question?

No one's ever asked me that before.

Feel free.

Are we stuck here?

No.

Are we gonna die here?

That's two questions!

Sorry.

Well, can I ask one?

Fine.

Did we violate the fourth rule?

Well, I'll tell you this much.

- Shit. - We're here.

We made it

Oh, thank God.

What happened in there?

How'd you get out?

Nothing but God.

Oh, thank you, Jesus.

What do you mean?

Every moving thing-

That lives shall be food for you.

As I gave you the green grass,

I give you everything.

Genesis 9:3.

Oh, my God.

You know, Genesis 9:3, the plants:

"Thou shalt smoke."

What the hell happened in there?

Why are y'all dressed like this?

Wait a minute.

Where's everybody else at?

What's going on?

What are y'all looking at?

We gotta go.

Sorry. - Oh, hell no.

They didn't do Too bad this time, Ms. Mollie.

I'll make sure that they clear the property

and get everything ready for the next group.
