Seance Games: Metaxu (2024) Movie Script
1
Damn, I've got no service.
-What?
-Yeah.
No service? How are we gonna
post anything if we don't have
-any service out here?
-Hey. Hey, Morgan.
-Watch your driving, okay?
-Relax.
What am I gonna hit?
We're in the middle
of flipping nowhere.
Yeah. And now
Google Maps isn't working.
I mean, how are
we supposed to find this place?
Um, it's okay. It's okay.
I-- I think I know
how to get there.
We just have to turn, turn.
-Okay. All right.
-Somewhere.
It's a start.
We'll find it.
It's gotta be
down this dirt road.
Or maybe it was
the other dirt road.
What's the street name again?
-Um, name?
-Yeah.
You know, actually,
I don't think I've seen like,
a single road sign for miles.
Oh, it has a name.
Um, I think it's--
It's just further
down this road.
I told you we should
have printed the directions.
Oh, please.
Who prints things anymore?
I don't even own a printer.
I-- I-- I think
it's like Shire or Shining.
No, no. Stop.
Okay.
Well, you know what?
We've gotta shoot content now.
We'll post it later.
My 11 million follows
want content.
We gotta keep
the followers happy.
Yeah.
TikTok star cosplay
introducing real live ghost.
Yes. It's genius, I'd say.
Dangerous.
If we ever find the place.
Hello, all
you Magnificent Morganers.
As promised, here's an update.
We are on our way
to the most haunted,
the scariest place on earth.
I mean, check this out.
We are in the middle
of nowhere right now.
I'm traveling with
my beautiful car and my
very annoying bestie,
Katrina, the cat.
I'm in hell already.
But we are the winning team.
So keep following
Morgan Kat's spooky adventures.
Let the seance games begin.
And may the odds
be ever in our favor.
Mwah! Lots more to come.
I hope.
Well, now what?
The guys should
be driving by soon.
So maybe
we just wait here a bit.
I bet Steven
printed the directions.
- Yeah, I bet he did.
- Mm-hmm.
And he probably has
the longitudinals and latitides.
I bet
he itemized them too.
You know what? He's a great
tech guy. We're gonna need that.
Do you have service?
-No.
-No, I don't have service.
Yeah.
Wait, what?
-Crap. I need gas.
-No, Morgan.
I told you we needed
to get gas earlier,
but you wanted
to get there first.
-I know. I know.
-"We gotta beat the boys."
We will beat the boys.
Okay. Look, there
is a gas station right there.
See? All is well.
Oh, I don't
know if I'd say that.
-That's weird.
-What's weird?
Could have sworn
that wasn't there a second ago.
-It wasn't.
-What wasn't?
The gas station.
Nice.
Yes.
-Oh!
-No gas.
What kind of a gas
station doesn't sell gas?
This one.
What year model is this?
I've never seen
anything like it.
Um, I'm-- I'm not sure.
Horsepower?
-I'm-- I'm not sure.
-Where are you headed?
Uh, actually we're
headed to this old hotel.
I think it's on like Shire Road,
something like that.
We're a little lost.
Do you think
you could give us directions?
You're heading in
the right direction.
But then again, others would
say it's the wrong direction.
Either way you look at it,
you'll get there.
Everyone does.
You have a nice day.
Get in the car.
Get in the car.
-What the hell?
-What the hell was that?
It's like,
where did he come from?
Literally, the most bizarre
interaction I've ever had.
And there's no gas.
Hiya. How's it going?
Great. We're good. So good.
-We're really good. You?
-Yeah.
-Good. Drive was easy.
-Good. Yeah.
You ladies need anything?
No, no, no, no.
I, um, I pulled over so
I could put the--
the top back
up and then we'll be right
on our way back on the road.
Okay.
Are you getting
gas or are you lost?
-No.
-Yeah, actually,
so we have no cell service,
so Google Maps isn't working
and we're almost outta of gas.
And the creepy
guy who works here said
that they have no gas at all.
I mean, what kind of
gas station doesn't sell gas?
I mean, and-- and he wouldn't
even give us directions.
So we're really doing
great on all fronts, actually.
We're doing great.
You didn't get gas
at the 50-mile marker?
Of course.
Why would we? Yeah. No.
-Morgan.
-We didn't.
Oh, Steven, don't Morgan me.
Well, can you make it there?
It's only like a few more miles.
-It's not that far.
-Absolutely. We can.
Maybe. Hopefully.
I don't know. Probably not.
Well, according
to my calculations,
we're almost there.
I anticipated
the cell service drop.
So printed the directions.
-Follow us.
-Yeah. And I brought some
extra gas so I could give it to
-you when we get there.
-Of course, you did.
-Ow!
-That would be awesome.
Thank you. We will
take you up on that offer.
You just lead the way
and we'll follow you.
-See you there.
-Okay. Sounds good.
See you there.
So tell me, why are
you so competitive with Tommy?
I don't know.
He's so damn good
looking it's annoying.
Oh my God.
You've always liked him.
Hey, I don't
understand why you try
to pretend like you don't.
Okay.
Well, it doesn't matter anyways.
He's just doing this
competition with us to
steal my followers, so.
Okay. This is not just
for his social media. Excuse me.
-You're right.
-This is a team competition.
-Yes you're right. You're right.
-Yes.
-Yeah.
-We need the team to win.
Yeah.
And to find
real answers for Julia.
Hey, try not
to get your hopes up, Kat.
Okay? This is just a game.
That's all.
All right, guys.
Looks like
have made it.
Woo!
Made it. Woo!
-You sure did.
-Okay.
So my map says the old
hotel is right down this path.
-Okay.
-Cool. All righty.
We'll get it started.
What is up, my powerful people?
We are--
We're actually
1.5 kilometers away from--
Okay, Steven.
They don't-- they don't
need to know every detail.
But we are going to
find some supposedly super
sketchy old hotel
and it's gonna be great.
We have the whole power
squad here...
and it's going to be amazing.
So keep commenting, liking,
subscribing,
all that good stuff.
Because there is so much more
spooky content to be coming.
See you soon.
Woo. Okay. Yeah,
we are-- we are somewhere.
Are we gonna be able to even,
like, get service out here?
Who do you think
you're talking to?
I brought my satellite
system right in the truck.
-Mobile, in fact.
-Let's go.
A mobile-- Sure. Whatever.
I don't know what that is.
Uh, do you
know where we're going?
Let's-- let's go.
Right down here.
-Okay.
-Come on. Come on.
It's not gonna hunt itself.
-Oh!
-Okay?
-Yeah, I'm fine.
-Okay.
Wow.
This...
Oh yeah.
It's locked.
Well, it's not like
we got permission to do this.
-It's true.
-Maybe we need to
-break a window or something?
-No.
Let me try.
Oh, shit!
Tommy, are you okay?
-Yeah.
-Oh!
No, keep rolling.
This is-- this is good.
-Look at this place.
-What the hell?
Whoa. Whoa.
It's like the entrance
to the mummy's tomb.
What's that sound?
I bet the door just
hasn't been open in a while.
Yeah.
Oh, let's just be
careful where we step.
-Okay?
-Yeah.
Wow.
Ouch. Shoot. My boots.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
You are really dressed
for the occasion. Huh, Morgan?
Thanks for noticing, Tommy.
Are we really supposed
to spend the night here?
This place is really grody.
Remember the rules people.
Two nights, two seances.
I know, I know. Two and two.
Cut the cameras.
Can somebody please tell me
why we had to choose this place?
Because
you wanted to win, Morgan.
And from what
Steven and I researched,
this place is really
supposed to be haunted.
Hey, I'm the one who found it.
-Due to our research.
-Yeah. Yeah.
Okay. You found it.
- Thank you.
- Good.
Yeah. I just was hoping more for
like a pretend scary, you know?
I mean, I can be
pretend scared anywhere.
Good. Then play it up, gang.
-Come on.
-You're right.
More followers
means higher points and...
- More money.
- Hey!
-Same page. Same page.
-More opportunities
to win Metaxu. Okay?
So if there's not
a real ghost anywhere,
then just act like it.
Be scared.
This place
is terrifying anyway.
More ghost sightings
can mean a real connection
-to the other side.
-Okay. Yeah.
-Camera's back on, right?
-Okay.
Let's get it.
We are hearing some crazy wild
and spooky sounds around here.
Can you hear it?
Metaxu will be ours.
Oh my gosh.
Please just tell me that's like
some old pipes or something.
Yeah, that's some
old pipes or something.
That's what
they always say.
-Who?
-You know, the people
in all those scary movies.
"We're gonna
need a bigger boat."
-"I see dead people."
-No!
Uh, guys,
all this talk about scary
movies is really
starting to get to me.
I could've sworn
that hall just stretched.
Classic horror movie gag.
No, no. I mean this
place is giving me the creeps.
-Like, for real.
-Come on.
I got this.
Oh.
Be afraid.
-Be very afraid.
-Okay. Okay.
-That's enough. That's enough.
-What?
-Shut up.
-Come on, it was funny.
-Yeah, kinda funny.
-Kinda funny.
Just keep going.
Whoa. Look at this.
This room is dope.
Do you think
that anybody still lives here?
No. I-- I mean,
look at all the dust.
Yeah, this place has
definitely seen better days.
Oh my gosh, Kat.
Check this out.
Oh my gosh.
Kat, look at this.
I don't think anyone has stepped
into this room for years.
What the hell are
you doing, man?
Put that back right now.
I said put it down right now.
No, wait, wait.
Oh, I got you.
I got you.
Oh, there you go.
There you go.
Now tell me, man, what
the hell are you doing here?
-Well, ma'am--
-Ma'am?
Dude, my name's Sally.
-Sally Ferguson.
-Okay.
Sally Ferguson,
we are playing a seance game.
A game?
It-- it's a social
media game called Metaxu.
Social media, what?
Are you guys on drugs?
Because I got some
really good shit, man.
No, no.
Let me try to explain.
It's a game where teams
livestream from the scariest,
most haunted
places in the world.
Two seances over two nights.
The team with
the most online follows,
likes and views wins,
$300,000 each.
We just need to set
up my satellite hookup so
that we can get
the internet running and--
I take that back.
I don't have drugs that good.
That's the craziest bunch
of far-out shit
I've ever heard, man.
We just need
a place to crash and film.
I've got two open rooms.
They've even got running water.
But the electricity
has a mind of its own.
Aren't they all open rooms?
We're booked
up through eternity.
I'd be careful with
that seance thing, though.
That'll bring him out.
Pretty gnarly, man.
-Are we following her?
-I mean, I gue-- I guess.
-Yes. Okay.
-Come on. Let's go.
-It is on fleek.
-I know.
Seriously.
Oh, you behave.
Oh.
Here you go, ladies.
Welcome to your lovely room.
I made the beds.
- Wow.
- It's great. Thank you.
Follow me, boys.
Your room is at the other
end of the hotel and it
used to be my room.
Oh, it used to be her room.
Isn't that great?
-I'm sure it's good.
-Have so much fun, guys.
-Congratulations.
-See you, guys.
She is so odd.
Yeah, she's just crazy.
That's all.
-Yeah.
-Oh gosh.
Did you hear that?
Here what?
That.
Okay, you stop.
Cut that out.
Save that for the live stream.
Can I just
rest for a little bit?
That drive was so damn long.
What are you doing?
I-- I-- I don't know.
I keep seeing this weird light.
Come on. Be serious with
me right now. You don't see it?
This is just a game, Kat.
Save the show for the followers.
I don't need to see that.
What if there was
actually some truth to
this whole seance business?
What if it was actually
possible to reach out to Julia?
She's gone, Kat.
It just never
made any sense to me.
That's all.
Well, she was drunk.
The detective said
she was high on drugs too.
She never took drugs.
Well, I guess she did
that night.
I mean, it was an accident.
It was a horrible,
terrible accident.
I mean,
it was a huge frat party.
How is it possible
that nobody could have seen her?
I never should have
left her that night.
Hey. No, no.
You cannot
blame yourself for this.
Okay? Come here.
I miss her too.
Ah shit!
What?
No cell service
and sketchy power.
-Perfect.
-Dude, don't worry.
Give me a minute to set
up my satellite hookup and
we will be
in business in no time.
With this baby, we can
livestream like flipping CNN.
We freaking CNN.
-Okay, Mr. Nerd.
-Yep.
And that's why we're gonna
win due to my genius nerdiness.
So kiss my flipping ass, buddy.
Yeah. Okay, dude.
Oh, by the way, uh,
Mr. Nerd, there is one bed,
so enjoy the floor.
Love it.
Hola, geniuses.
Check out my ratchet cool tech.
This is the setup that we're
gonna use to win Metaxu, baby.
-Woo! Metaxu!
-Power Man in the house.
Yeah.
This place is sketchy.
Yeah. Steven, uh,
I'll go check this place out.
-Wanna come with?
-Uh, I'm all right,
I'm gonna finish
setting up the satellite.
All right. Sounds good.
Back to what I was saying.
This is definitely
the livestream that you want
to tune into
if you want to be scared.
Man, if you want to be
haunted to tune in tonight.
First seance, baby.
This place is actually sketch.
-Ah!
-Hey, hey, hey, hey.
It's me. What?
What happened?
Are you okay?
-I thought I saw--
-What?
What did you see?
-Nothing.
-Nothing?
What do you mean nothing?
The whole place was shaking.
You were screaming.
Nothing.
I just-- just destroyed
my flashlight is all. Okay?
I couldn't see clearly.
Guys, it was probably
just mild earthquakes.
Hopefully,
that's the last of them.
Earthquakes and ghosts.
-Perfect.
-Okay. Okay. Okay.
I think we're all just
getting a little worked up
about this
whole seance games thing.
Okay? It's just two nights
and then it's all gonna be over.
Yeah. Just two nights.
It's starting to get late.
We need to decide where
we're gonna set up the seance.
The table and the chairs
in the lobby should work.
Yeah, that sounds good.
Let's plan to meet back
in the lobby in a couple hours.
-Yeah?
-Cool. Okay.
Okay.
You are not real.
We are up and running.
Yes, we are.
Full bar. All right.
Katrina the Cat here
with the Magnificent Morgana.
-Time to get ready for Metaxu.
-Yes!
I am telling you guys,
this is going to be so gas.
I'm shook right now.
This place is for real scary.
Make sure you stay with
us because tonight we are going
to set up the very
first Metaxu seance game.
Trust me,
you won't wanna miss this.
We'll be livestreaming
on the Metaxu app,
so make sure you watch
our team with Morgana and I,
the Genius Brain Nerd,
and, of course, the Power Man.
The Power Man. You can
help us win Metaxu. How?
You can follow,
you can like, and you can
tune in tonight for
our very first seance.
And then tomorrow
night for our finale.
Woo! We are
the team to watch.
- Yeah!
- We can win this thing.
Make sure you turn
on your notifications,
keep them live, and that way
when we're live you can be too.
Okay? We'll
see you all soon.
- Yo.
- What's up, sir?
-How you feeling?
-Good.
I thought this
was gonna look dumb,
but it actually
looked kind of sick, right?
-You look pretty dope.
-Hello, boys.
Whoa.
- You guys look amazing.
- Wow.
-Hello. My goodness.
-Thank you. You too.
It looks really good in here.
Thank you. Thank you.
That would be my doing.
You know,
we have power, we have lights,
we have my
handy dandy high-powered
satellite internet,
main camera over there.
Oh my God,
you really are a genius.
Stop. Stop. Thank you.
Come on.
Don't tell him that.
-He's gonna get a big head.
-Okay.
At least my head
matches my body size, Power Man.
-"I'm Tommy."
-He's got you.
-"I'm Mr. Power Man. I'm Tommy."
-Somebody said it.
You see what I'm talking about?
I gotta walk like
I got a lot of power.
Get out of here, dude.
Okay, what are we doing here?
-We're all set to go.
-Yeah?
Yeah, let's go.
-All right. Take a seat.
-Let's do this. Sweet.
-Sweet.
-Okay.
-Take a seat there for me.
-My gosh, Tommy.
This costume
turned you into a gentleman?
Oh yeah, that's what it was.
-That's a surprise.
-Okay. Okay.
Connect to your phones
and pull up the Metaxu app.
Okay. We are all logged in.
The action
will play out together.
-Yes. Okay.
-Morgan, you wanna start us off?
Yes, of course.
And then you, Tommy. Yeah?
All right.
Going live in five,
four, three, two.
Hello, you magnificent
Morganers!
I'm here
with your winning team.
We've got Katrina the Cat,
the Power Man himself,
and our very
own Genius Brain Nerd.
Let me tell you that we have
definitely found
the scariest place on earth.
- Oh, yeah.
- I'm obsessed.
This
place is terrifying.
But be sure and like,
and follow and subscribe
all the way through this.
You can help
us win Metaxu, baby.
Just wanted to say
this isn't just a game for me.
I need to know if there
really is a spirit world.
Yeah.
I-- I think we all wanna know
if there's
really a spirit world.
So, are we ready?
Let's play Metaxu.
-Woo!
-Okay.
It's Brain Nerd here.
All cameras
are rolling and the website
says we're
supposed to hold hands.
-Cool with me.
-Okay.
-Cool with you?
-Yeah.
Nice grip.
Okay.
Spirits of the underworld.
Hear us. We summon you.
By the power
of the ultimate source
of universal energy,
Metaxu, we call on you.
Come forward now.
Reveal yourselves.
We call on you.
Come forward now.
Reveal yourselves. Metaxu.
The website says you're
supposed to chant that together.
- Metaxu.
- Metaxu. Metaxu.
Metaxu. Metaxu.
We have a million
followers watching live already.
- Yes, a million.
- Metaxu.
-Keep going. Keep going.
-Metaxu.
Metaxu. Metaxu.
Metaxu. Metaxu. Metaxu.
-Come on.
-Metaxu.
-Metaxu. Metaxu. Metaxu.
-What's that sound?
-Okay. Keep it together.
-Metaxu.
-Come on.
-Metaxu. Metaxu.
Metaxu. Metaxu.
-Ah!
-Oh my God!
-What the fuck?
-You opened the portal.
He will come for you all.
All of you.
And you...
you will never leave this place.
Did you get all that?
Did that-- did that record?
-Yeah. I--
-How many views did we get?
-We're still live.
-I knew it.
It's real.
We have over 50
million live viewers right now.
That's insane.
Everyone, everyone,
did you see all that?
Oh my God,
the comments are pouring in.
The Kraken
says that has to be fake.
No, that was completely real.
We didn't stage anything.
Guys, this is really hot.
We need to shut all this down.
Uh, okay. Uh, yeah, we're
gonna-- we're gonna regroup.
Um, that was
totally and completely real.
Like 100%. No shit. Okay?
Uh, so what-- what
do I say? Uh.
Yes. Make sure you, uh,
come back tomorrow night
-for seance number two.
-Number two.
Two! Who knows
what we're gonna see.
-Woo!
-Um, and-- and turn
on your notifications
that you don't miss us.
-Yeah. Turn 'em on.
-You don't wanna miss it.
That was a real ghost.
Oh my God! You guys,
we're totally gonna win Metaxu.
Can you believe how many
livestream followers we had?
No.
-We did it.
-Yeah.
Are you guys seriously not
realizing what just happened?
Oh my God.
That was insane.
She like had red hair and
she just come out of nowhere?
It-- it was amazing.
-I mean-- I mean, scary. Sure.
-Yeah. Whatever.
- But everybody's okay, right?
- Yeah.
Right? I really
need this to work.
Yeah. Okay.
Um, one more night like
that and we are gonna win.
Like absolutely.
Okay. What? 300 grand each.
What is that, Steven?
-Like, 1.5--
-$1.2 million.
$1.2 million.
Okay? And the followers.
The followers are
worth millions, baby.
-Woo! I'm getting stoked.
-Okay.
-Okay.
-Getting stoked, man.
Okay. One more night. One.
Okay.
One more night.
Let's all, uh, head to bed.
Try to get some sleep. Okay?
- We got a big night tomorrow.
- Yeah.
Yeah. Okay.
I can't believe it.
It just came out of nowhere.
That's crazy.
-Jesus. We can't.
-Why? Yeah, we can.
Right here.
-Are you sure?
-Yeah.
Come with me.
-Morgan?
-Uh...
Yes. Kat.
Nobody can sneak past you,
can they?
It's none of my business,
but just be careful. Okay?
Kat, I'm fine.
Okay.
What?
I didn't say anything.
Yeah, no, you're just
thinking too damn loud.
-It's just that--
-What?
We saw a ghost, Morgan.
A real ghost.
And she spoke to us.
I mean, this is all real.
Okay.
Yes, I guess.
But we have
to document that we spent
the night here or
else we run the risk
of being disqualified and
we are so close to winning this.
I really need this, Kat.
My whole life is a farce.
No, it's not. What
are you talking about?
You are so much more than
you give yourself credit for.
No, no, I'm not.
I'm not smart like you.
I practically failed
most of my college courses.
You, you, Kat.
You can do anything
you want with your life.
Not me.
I drive a rented Mustang and
wear bargain basement clothes.
I'm-- I'm broke.
So I need sponsors.
Because without the money
and without the followers...
I'm nobody.
-That's not true.
-Yeah.
I just-- I just need to, uh,
believe that we're all gonna be
okay and that we're
gonna win $1.2 million.
Is it worth it if
something bad happens though?
I mean, you heard
what that ghost said.
Just try not to think about it.
Please.
Please.
Let's get some sleep.
Or at least let me.
Morg.
What?
My parents want me to
be a doctor or a lawyer
or some damn important thing.
But... it's not what I want.
At least, I don't think it is.
Morgan, you know
who you are and what you want.
I don't.
Julia?
Julia?
This isn't
a game. This isn't a game.
Julia.
Julia.
Julia, please stop.
Julia?
Julia.
Julia, wait, please.
I'm so sorry I left you there.
I never should have.
I never understood
what happened to you.
-I was pushed.
-What?
I was held down in
the water until I drowned.
The police thought you had too
much to drink and then you fell
into the pool and everyone
said it was an accident.
No accident.
I can't breathe.
I couldn't breathe, Kat.
-I couldn't breathe.
-Who did this to you?
Please, tell me
who did this to you.
Shh! Shh! Be quiet.
The killer is here.
What? What do you mean?
Julia?
Julia!
Wait, don't go.
Please, don't go.
Please.
-Hey, hey, hey.
-What?
Sorry.
Where is she?
Who?
-You were dreaming.
-No, it was Julia.
I was actually talking to her.
-Morgan, she was here.
-Hey, hey.
It was just a dream.
Morgan, she told me
that she was murdered.
Okay.
You cannot keep doing
this to yourself.
There was a full investigation.
She drowned in the pool.
She had alcohol mixed
with some other shit
that she took at the frat party.
-Okay?
-Wait a second.
Who gave it to her then?
-Who gave her the drugs?
-What do you mean?
Wasn't Tommy giving
out Molly that night?
Yeah. Okay.
Um, now you're really
starting to piss me off.
-Morgan!
-Hey, um, the boys put together
some breakfast outside if--
if you're hungry.
She told me that somebody
held her head under the water.
-What if Tommy was--
-Oh, what the--
for fuck sake, Kat?
Do you even hear yourself
right now?
Steven was at that party too,
you know.
And for that matter, so was I.
-Tommy was the only one--
-No, no, Kat, stop.
-You always do this to me.
-Do what to you?
Whenever I start liking guy,
you always find
something wrong with him.
Okay. I mean,
what the hell is with you?
-Good morning, Morg.
-Hey, Steven.
-Thank you.
-No problem. No problem.
-Gotta keep my crew fed.
-That's it.
How'd you guys sleep?
So good.
Like really good.
Right, Tommy?
What about you?
-Really well. Really, uh--
-Yeah.
-We got all eight hours.
-Good.
Tommy made me sleep
on the floor, so.
Oh, hotel room floor,
not as comfortable as you think.
Tommy.
There is one bed.
Good morning, sleepy head.
Want some eggs and bacon?
Uh, no, thanks.
-Not hungry yet.
-You sure?
Okay, thanks.
Can't seance
on an empty stomach.
-What's up, Kat?
-Nothing.
Just thinking.
Okay. About what?
The truth.
Oh. Damn it.
You're all good.
We got way more.
I've unsurprisingly planned
really well for this trip.
The truth is there's so much
we don't really know, right?
Perception and reality can be
two entirely different things.
Oh my gosh.
You are so whack.
You know what?
Yeah, maybe I am.
I'm going for a walk.
I need some more air.
-What is that all about?
-Don't ask.
It's just breakfast.
-That's lovely.
-Thanks.
I've gotta do something
to stay sane around here, man.
Are the ghost stories real?
What do you think?
What happened here?
Oh, it's a hell of a story.
A long, long time ago,
this place belonged
to a very wealthy man
and his beautiful wife.
They had a son,
but the husband was
so possessive that he couldn't
share her with anyone,
not even their own son, man.
So the boy was sent away.
And every single day,
the wife in all
of her loneliness
and sorrow would relentlessly
brush her long,
beautiful red hair
while he watched.
She was his greatest possession.
How did they die?
-A demon's curse.
-A demon's curse?
How do you fit into this story?
Oh, I'm just the manager.
I've seen it all.
I check them in,
but they don't check out.
What do you mean?
Who are you talking to?
I was talking to Sally. She's--
well, she was right here.
How did she--
Something going on
with you, Kat?
No, I'm fine.
You can take a step back, Tommy.
You had something to do
with what happened to Julia,
didn't you?
I always had my suspicions,
but I didn't wanna believe it.
What are you talking about?
I saw you at that party
hitting on her.
What did she do?
Did she turn you down?
Don't even think about
hurting Morgan.
Hurting Morgan? Okay.
I mean, come on.
Maybe I'll hurt you.
Okay. I'm just kidding.
Besides, what if I wanted you?
That doesn't matter.
You asshole.
Goddamnit. Morgan.
Morgan.
Wait a goddamn minute.
Why should I?
It was Julia all along,
wasn't it?
-I was just convenient?
-No.
I heard what you said to Kat.
Come on.
That was bullshit.
She doesn't know what
she's talking about.
Okay.
Then tell me the truth.
From the beginning all
along was it me or Julia?
Come on.
Morgan, it was you.
Okay? It was always you.
And to tell you half the time,
I-I-I didn't know if
you actually liked me or not.
Are you kidding?
I've always liked you.
It has only ever been you to me.
And last night I thought
that we finally--
I'm such an idiot.
You know, Kat is right.
This isn't a game.
None of it.
It's not worth it.
And sure, I need the money,
but I don't need this.
-I'm leaving.
-What-- don't leave.
I'm getting
my stuff and I'm leaving.
Guys don't-- you can't leave.
Shit!
Wait a second.
What happened?
Alright, fuck it.
We'll have 1.2 million
to split two ways
instead of four.
No, we won't.
Morgan has the most
followers out of any of us.
If she leaves, we'll
have no chance at winning this.
Any other team
will be able to win.
-They're not leaving.
-What do you mean?
I won't let them.
No gas.
Her car isn't going anywhere.
We will do this the way
we planned and then
they can go wherever
the fuck they want.
Tommy, this is not right.
-Do not do this. This--
-Get outta my way!
Are you sure you want to leave?
What the hell, Kat?
Make up your mind.
You were the one
who stirred all this up
in the first place
over a damn dream.
It wasn't just a dream.
Do you really think that Tommy
was the cause for Julia's death?
Maybe he's a jerk
but a murderer?
I mean, I hate him right
now too, but come on.
Okay. Maybe you're right.
I just miss Julia a lot.
And all of this seance
shit is getting to me.
I just wanted to be able
to connect with her.
That's all.
Morg, Kat,
uh, can I come in?
Oh shit. Are you okay?
Oh my God. Shit.
Is this Tommy?
Oh my. Oh, it looks like
you could use a stitch or two.
-Why would he do this to you?
-I don't know.
We just need to forget
all this crap and go home.
-No gas.
-What do you mean?
He is not gonna give me
any of his gas now?
I don't know.
He's out of his mind.
All the followers and
the money and everything,
it's-- it's gotten to his head.
That's bullshit.
I'm not taking any
of that shit from him.
I'll suck the gas out of
his fucking truck if I have to.
-Going somewhere?
-Fuck, Tommy.
I wanna leave right now.
Yeah. Get out of my--
-No one is going anywhere.
-I wanna go!
Tommy, this isn't right.
Get ahold of yourself.
None of this is worth it.
This place is dangerous.
I can feel it.
We need to leave.
-Shut the fuck up.
-I'll call the police.
You're not calling the police.
I took your little
satellite hookup. Okay?
No one is leaving
and we are doing
the second seance
like we planned.
No one is leaving.
Tommy. Tommy, come on.
Tommy?
Tommy, please. Stop.
Come on. Let me try.
Shit.
Damn it!
The door.
It's moving.
It's the hotel.
It is time.
What have you been
doing, my love?
- Only this, my love.
- Have you had any visitors?
No. Never. As you wish.
You are my good
and faithful wife, are you not?
Yes. Always.
- Mm-hmm.
- For eternity.
You would never lie to me,
would you?
No, never.
Well, then,
what's wrong, my dear?
Why are you crying?
I'm not crying.
I'm-- I'm just,
I'm just so lonely. I --
But my darling,
I'm all that you need.
I've given you all of this.
I provide for you.
I care for you.
- Yes, but I--
- But what?
I just-- I just wish
that I could have one--
You would never betray me,
would you?
Never.
Hmm. Then who the hell
was the young man at this house?
Let me explain.
It's not what you think.
- Liar.
- No, listen, no, listen to me.
You need to know who he is.
This is your fault!
You betrayed me.
That's the one rule
that you could not break.
And yet you did. Believe me,
I will find him.
I will slice his throat
just like I did yours.
What did you do? He's your son.
No. No. That can't be.
Not my son.
He's our son.
My son. Anna. Oh, my Anna. Anna.
Oh my-- What have I done?
What have I done?
What was that? Okay.
What was that?
Okay, that's it. I'm leaving.
Uh, where's my phone? One bar.
One bar. I have one bar.
He turned off the satellite
connection, remember?
It's useless.
Just let me out here.
What the hell?
Let me try.
Let's just break the damn thing.
Okay.
Are you guys seeing this?
Mmm. Rye whiskey.
- It's you.
- Yes.
It's been a very long time.
They brought him out, man.
It's of their own doing.
Yes, I know.
Perhaps now we can be free. Yes.
Yes.
Why don't you try some of this?
Oh, I can't remember
the last time I could...
taste.
Cheers.
Cheers. Oh.
Mmm.
Let's go.
What-- what are we gonna do?
Let's just get out of
this hotel, and--
and we'll think of something.
Hopefully Tommy has come
to his senses by now.
It won't open.
Tommy? Buddy? Can you hear me?
You need to stop all
of this right now.
It won't open anymore.
But you're right.
You were the one who locked
it in the first place.
No, I-- it wasn't me, guys.
I swear.
I-- it was-- it was this place.
I think it wants us to
play the seance game.
- What wants us to?
- I don't know.
The-- the-- the hotel,
the-- the ghost
that made me do
what I fucking did.
And now
we are all locked in here.
It's the story behind
this place.
The man and his wife.
Wait, what story?
The ghost that came through
in our seance last night.
Sally was telling me
about it yesterday.
The woman and her husband.
He murdered her here, and now
it's like a curse or something.
Sounds like hell.
I think it is hell.
I wish I could say you all
sound crazy right now.
They won't let us leave
until we complete
what we came here for.
Tommy, just let me turn
on the satellite connection
so that we can get out of here.
I already tried that here.
- And call 911.
- I already tried that.
And you turned on
the satellite box?
- I did.
- Connection was live?
Yeah, I did. The phone
calls won't go through.
It disconnected.
The phone doesn't work.
See, they won't let us leave.
Well, the Metaxu app and
website is still up and running.
I told you.
Guys, this place wants
us to play the seance game.
Look, I'm-- Morgan,
I'm so sorry.
I am. I don't --
Guys, let's just complete
the second seance.
Okay?
And then hopefully
the doors will open again,
and we could get
the hell outta here.
Guys. We will win the game,
and we will win the money.
- I promise.
- I mean, it is a lot of money.
It won't matter if we all die.
No, it won't.
Well, I guess we really
don't have a choice.
Do we, Stephen?
Well, I guess we don't.
Take a seat, Stephen. Everyone.
Okay, since
I'm already logged in,
all I need to do is
start the live stream.
So are we ready?
- Yeah, let's do this.
- Okay.
Let's join hands.
Going live in five,
four, three, two.
We are back
with our second seance.
Now, of course,
you all saw last night
we conjured an actual ghost.
We are going to ask all
of you to help us win Metax --
We are in danger. This
isn't a game at all.
Somebody please send help.
We're at the old hotel
at the end--
Shut up!
They are watching
everything we're doing.
We already have way more
viewers than last night.
We have over 350 million
live viewers.
Holy crap.
Let's just do the seance.
We can win this money
and then get outta here.
I already told you.
It won't matter
if we're all dead.
The comments, "You guys
are our favorite team."
"How did you fake that ghost
illusion last night?"
No, it wasn't an illusion.
It was real.
Stephen,
let's do this.
Spirits of the underworld,
hear us.
We summon you.
By the power of the ultimate
source of universal energy,
Metaxu, we call on you.
Come forward now. Reveal
yourselves. Metaxu.
Metaxu.
Metaxu.
Metaxu. Come on.
Metaxu. Say it.
Metaxu. Metaxu. Metaxu.
- 400 million.
- Metaxu. Metaxu.
- Reveal yourself to us now.
- 550.
- Metaxu.
- 600 million.
Metaxu. Metaxu. Join us.
Everyone watching at home,
say it with us. Metaxu. Metaxu.
Everyone is saying
Metaxu online.
Metaxu. Metaxu. Metaxu.
666 million viewers are
watching us live right now.
Metaxu.
Guys, we're gonna crash
the internet.
Stop! Stop! Morgan.
Look at Tommy.
- Metaxu! Metaxu!
- Tommy, please,
let go of my hand.
You're hurting me.
Stephen, shut it down.
Don't you see what's happening?
All those millions of followers?
We've opened up the gate
to hell.
You have released us all.
A demon...for a demon.
My wife, a murder by my hand
crushed my soul for eternity.
- Please forgive me.
- We're all free now.
You murdered her because
you could not have her.
Jealousy and murder
are the sins of the demon.
You have the demon's curse.
Tommy, let me go!
Let her go!
Stephen. Stephen, unplug.
This is dark.
Tommy!
It's unplugged.
Nothing's changing.
Let me go!
Tommy, let me go!
Let her go!
Tommy, please stop.
She said those same
fucking words to me.
Please, stop. I hate
that. It's so damn annoying.
Tommy, stop! Tommy!
You all
are so easy to break.
Tommy! Tommy, let her go!
Oops. Look what you made me do.
- Kat. Kat, Kat.
- Morgan.
We-- we need to go.
- Morgan.
- We need to run.
Morgan! No! No!
Sorry.
We need to run. Go!
Stay-- stay away from us.
Leave--
Stay the fuck
away from me. No.
How did you know?
How did I know
that you murdered Julia?
Yeah, how did you know?
I handled everything perfectly.
She had a little fentanyl-laced
Molly in her system.
I gave it to her.
She was just supposed
to let me fuck her, you know.
She didn't want you.
Oh, come on. I mean,
look at me. Who doesn't want me?
I'm the-- I'm the Power Man.
So, you know, I had to kill her.
And you know what the best
part about it was?
- No!
- Was how easy it actually was.
I just held her head
under the water and watched
her kick and squirm until
she was finally just...
Quiet. No noise. No bubbles.
Just a little guppy.
Tommy. Tommy, stop.
Tommy, please stop.
You are my friend.
- I never...
- No, no, Tommy, stop!
...was your fucking friend!
I just needed your help
winning this game.
And now I'm sure we've won.
Woo-hoo! Teamwork. Oh, and I'll
take all that money, by the way.
Thank you very much, guys.
'Cause, after all,
you all were-- were killed
by the-- the ghosts,
the demons of this hotel.
And I, being
a superhero guy that I am,
I did my best to save you.
I did. I really tried. Boohoo.
You are a sick bastard.
Well, maybe I am, Kat.
Maybe I am.
But that's
the thing about today.
You can be a crazy piece of
shit, but as long as you smile
and put on a good front,
nobody bats an fucking eye.
And I'll probably gain what,
Stephen, like another
billion followers or so.
That's the best part about it.
I mean, just think
about what I could do.
I could do anything I wanted.
I could
rule the whole damn world.
The only thing standing
in my way is you, Kat.
No, no, no!
Somebody help me! Somebody
needs help! Sally! Someone!
I am so sorry.
Where did you hide
your car keys, asshole?
Please.
Sorry.
What's going on?
Your friends are guests
of the hotel now.
What are you?
I'm merely the manager
of this establishment.
Establishment?
Yeah. You know,
the gates of hell.
Please just-- just tell
me what I need to do now.
I just wanna go home.
You've got work to do.
You're the only one who can
save your friends now, man.
Save my friends? They're already
dead. What? Are you crazy?
Yeah, definitely have
been for decades, man.
I just wanna go home.
Just how do I get out of here?
The demon of the hotel
controls that now. Not me.
He's done. I saw him leave.
Him and his wife. They're gone.
Tommy's the demon now,
but he's still half-mortal.
He must die, and then he'll be
stuck here and pay for his sins.
He murdered my friends.
The hotel must have
a demon, and then order
can return to the gates of hell.
He's here.
What have you been
doing, little mouse? Aha-aha.
You looking for these? Huh?
We are in the middle of nowhere.
So you are not getting
anywhere without these.
Should I snap your neck
like I did Morgan? Oh, oh.
Or maybe I'll break you
in half, like I did Steven.
Oh, no. I think I'll
drown you, just like Julia.
Hello, Tommy.
Look at you.
I'm so, uh, I'm so sorry.
- Are you?
- Yeah.
Really?
Stephen, I killed you.
I killed-- what?
I killed all of you.
I killed all of you.
Why won't you die?
Why won't you?
I had a Mustang back in my day.
Out of sight, man.
Best car ever.
And I got you just enough
gas to get outta here.
Courtesy of my husband.
I got to see him.
He can be
a bit stubborn at times.
I love him.
What the hell are you?
Not hell, at least not yet.
I'm Metaxu.
What does that
even mean? Metaxu?
The in between.
There is life, there is death.
I'm neither. I'm both, man.
What will happen to my friends?
Thanks to you,
they're gonna be just fine.
And Tommy?
Oh, he's our demon now.
- He's stuck here.
- Forever?
Until another
demon takes his place.
Someone very worthy.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
I think you found your calling.
Wave to my husband
on the way out, okay?
Have a nice day.
Come back anytime.
Please, please,
please, please. Mom?
Mom, they're all gone.
Damn, I've got no service.
-What?
-Yeah.
No service? How are we gonna
post anything if we don't have
-any service out here?
-Hey. Hey, Morgan.
-Watch your driving, okay?
-Relax.
What am I gonna hit?
We're in the middle
of flipping nowhere.
Yeah. And now
Google Maps isn't working.
I mean, how are
we supposed to find this place?
Um, it's okay. It's okay.
I-- I think I know
how to get there.
We just have to turn, turn.
-Okay. All right.
-Somewhere.
It's a start.
We'll find it.
It's gotta be
down this dirt road.
Or maybe it was
the other dirt road.
What's the street name again?
-Um, name?
-Yeah.
You know, actually,
I don't think I've seen like,
a single road sign for miles.
Oh, it has a name.
Um, I think it's--
It's just further
down this road.
I told you we should
have printed the directions.
Oh, please.
Who prints things anymore?
I don't even own a printer.
I-- I-- I think
it's like Shire or Shining.
No, no. Stop.
Okay.
Well, you know what?
We've gotta shoot content now.
We'll post it later.
My 11 million follows
want content.
We gotta keep
the followers happy.
Yeah.
TikTok star cosplay
introducing real live ghost.
Yes. It's genius, I'd say.
Dangerous.
If we ever find the place.
Hello, all
you Magnificent Morganers.
As promised, here's an update.
We are on our way
to the most haunted,
the scariest place on earth.
I mean, check this out.
We are in the middle
of nowhere right now.
I'm traveling with
my beautiful car and my
very annoying bestie,
Katrina, the cat.
I'm in hell already.
But we are the winning team.
So keep following
Morgan Kat's spooky adventures.
Let the seance games begin.
And may the odds
be ever in our favor.
Mwah! Lots more to come.
I hope.
Well, now what?
The guys should
be driving by soon.
So maybe
we just wait here a bit.
I bet Steven
printed the directions.
- Yeah, I bet he did.
- Mm-hmm.
And he probably has
the longitudinals and latitides.
I bet
he itemized them too.
You know what? He's a great
tech guy. We're gonna need that.
Do you have service?
-No.
-No, I don't have service.
Yeah.
Wait, what?
-Crap. I need gas.
-No, Morgan.
I told you we needed
to get gas earlier,
but you wanted
to get there first.
-I know. I know.
-"We gotta beat the boys."
We will beat the boys.
Okay. Look, there
is a gas station right there.
See? All is well.
Oh, I don't
know if I'd say that.
-That's weird.
-What's weird?
Could have sworn
that wasn't there a second ago.
-It wasn't.
-What wasn't?
The gas station.
Nice.
Yes.
-Oh!
-No gas.
What kind of a gas
station doesn't sell gas?
This one.
What year model is this?
I've never seen
anything like it.
Um, I'm-- I'm not sure.
Horsepower?
-I'm-- I'm not sure.
-Where are you headed?
Uh, actually we're
headed to this old hotel.
I think it's on like Shire Road,
something like that.
We're a little lost.
Do you think
you could give us directions?
You're heading in
the right direction.
But then again, others would
say it's the wrong direction.
Either way you look at it,
you'll get there.
Everyone does.
You have a nice day.
Get in the car.
Get in the car.
-What the hell?
-What the hell was that?
It's like,
where did he come from?
Literally, the most bizarre
interaction I've ever had.
And there's no gas.
Hiya. How's it going?
Great. We're good. So good.
-We're really good. You?
-Yeah.
-Good. Drive was easy.
-Good. Yeah.
You ladies need anything?
No, no, no, no.
I, um, I pulled over so
I could put the--
the top back
up and then we'll be right
on our way back on the road.
Okay.
Are you getting
gas or are you lost?
-No.
-Yeah, actually,
so we have no cell service,
so Google Maps isn't working
and we're almost outta of gas.
And the creepy
guy who works here said
that they have no gas at all.
I mean, what kind of
gas station doesn't sell gas?
I mean, and-- and he wouldn't
even give us directions.
So we're really doing
great on all fronts, actually.
We're doing great.
You didn't get gas
at the 50-mile marker?
Of course.
Why would we? Yeah. No.
-Morgan.
-We didn't.
Oh, Steven, don't Morgan me.
Well, can you make it there?
It's only like a few more miles.
-It's not that far.
-Absolutely. We can.
Maybe. Hopefully.
I don't know. Probably not.
Well, according
to my calculations,
we're almost there.
I anticipated
the cell service drop.
So printed the directions.
-Follow us.
-Yeah. And I brought some
extra gas so I could give it to
-you when we get there.
-Of course, you did.
-Ow!
-That would be awesome.
Thank you. We will
take you up on that offer.
You just lead the way
and we'll follow you.
-See you there.
-Okay. Sounds good.
See you there.
So tell me, why are
you so competitive with Tommy?
I don't know.
He's so damn good
looking it's annoying.
Oh my God.
You've always liked him.
Hey, I don't
understand why you try
to pretend like you don't.
Okay.
Well, it doesn't matter anyways.
He's just doing this
competition with us to
steal my followers, so.
Okay. This is not just
for his social media. Excuse me.
-You're right.
-This is a team competition.
-Yes you're right. You're right.
-Yes.
-Yeah.
-We need the team to win.
Yeah.
And to find
real answers for Julia.
Hey, try not
to get your hopes up, Kat.
Okay? This is just a game.
That's all.
All right, guys.
Looks like
have made it.
Woo!
Made it. Woo!
-You sure did.
-Okay.
So my map says the old
hotel is right down this path.
-Okay.
-Cool. All righty.
We'll get it started.
What is up, my powerful people?
We are--
We're actually
1.5 kilometers away from--
Okay, Steven.
They don't-- they don't
need to know every detail.
But we are going to
find some supposedly super
sketchy old hotel
and it's gonna be great.
We have the whole power
squad here...
and it's going to be amazing.

all that good stuff.
Because there is so much more
spooky content to be coming.
See you soon.
Woo. Okay. Yeah,
we are-- we are somewhere.
Are we gonna be able to even,
like, get service out here?
Who do you think
you're talking to?
I brought my satellite
system right in the truck.
-Mobile, in fact.
-Let's go.
A mobile-- Sure. Whatever.
I don't know what that is.
Uh, do you
know where we're going?
Let's-- let's go.
Right down here.
-Okay.
-Come on. Come on.
It's not gonna hunt itself.
-Oh!
-Okay?
-Yeah, I'm fine.
-Okay.
Wow.
This...
Oh yeah.
It's locked.
Well, it's not like
we got permission to do this.
-It's true.
-Maybe we need to
-break a window or something?
-No.
Let me try.
Oh, shit!
Tommy, are you okay?
-Yeah.
-Oh!
No, keep rolling.
This is-- this is good.
-Look at this place.
-What the hell?
Whoa. Whoa.
It's like the entrance
to the mummy's tomb.
What's that sound?
I bet the door just
hasn't been open in a while.
Yeah.
Oh, let's just be
careful where we step.
-Okay?
-Yeah.
Wow.
Ouch. Shoot. My boots.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
You are really dressed
for the occasion. Huh, Morgan?
Thanks for noticing, Tommy.
Are we really supposed
to spend the night here?
This place is really grody.
Remember the rules people.
Two nights, two seances.
I know, I know. Two and two.
Cut the cameras.
Can somebody please tell me
why we had to choose this place?
Because
you wanted to win, Morgan.
And from what
Steven and I researched,
this place is really
supposed to be haunted.
Hey, I'm the one who found it.
-Due to our research.
-Yeah. Yeah.
Okay. You found it.
- Thank you.
- Good.
Yeah. I just was hoping more for
like a pretend scary, you know?
I mean, I can be
pretend scared anywhere.
Good. Then play it up, gang.
-Come on.
-You're right.
More followers
means higher points and...
- More money.
- Hey!
-Same page. Same page.
-More opportunities
to win Metaxu. Okay?
So if there's not
a real ghost anywhere,
then just act like it.
Be scared.
This place
is terrifying anyway.
More ghost sightings
can mean a real connection
-to the other side.
-Okay. Yeah.
-Camera's back on, right?
-Okay.
Let's get it.
We are hearing some crazy wild
and spooky sounds around here.
Can you hear it?
Metaxu will be ours.
Oh my gosh.
Please just tell me that's like
some old pipes or something.
Yeah, that's some
old pipes or something.
That's what
they always say.
-Who?
-You know, the people
in all those scary movies.
"We're gonna
need a bigger boat."
-"I see dead people."
-No!
Uh, guys,
all this talk about scary
movies is really
starting to get to me.
I could've sworn
that hall just stretched.
Classic horror movie gag.
No, no. I mean this
place is giving me the creeps.
-Like, for real.
-Come on.
I got this.
Oh.
Be afraid.
-Be very afraid.
-Okay. Okay.
-That's enough. That's enough.
-What?
-Shut up.
-Come on, it was funny.
-Yeah, kinda funny.
-Kinda funny.
Just keep going.
Whoa. Look at this.
This room is dope.
Do you think
that anybody still lives here?
No. I-- I mean,
look at all the dust.
Yeah, this place has
definitely seen better days.
Oh my gosh, Kat.
Check this out.
Oh my gosh.
Kat, look at this.
I don't think anyone has stepped
into this room for years.
What the hell are
you doing, man?
Put that back right now.
I said put it down right now.
No, wait, wait.
Oh, I got you.
I got you.
Oh, there you go.
There you go.
Now tell me, man, what
the hell are you doing here?
-Well, ma'am--
-Ma'am?
Dude, my name's Sally.
-Sally Ferguson.
-Okay.
Sally Ferguson,
we are playing a seance game.
A game?
It-- it's a social
media game called Metaxu.
Social media, what?
Are you guys on drugs?
Because I got some
really good shit, man.
No, no.
Let me try to explain.
It's a game where teams
livestream from the scariest,
most haunted
places in the world.
Two seances over two nights.
The team with
the most online follows,
likes and views wins,
$300,000 each.
We just need to set
up my satellite hookup so
that we can get
the internet running and--
I take that back.
I don't have drugs that good.
That's the craziest bunch
of far-out shit
I've ever heard, man.
We just need
a place to crash and film.
I've got two open rooms.
They've even got running water.
But the electricity
has a mind of its own.
Aren't they all open rooms?
We're booked
up through eternity.
I'd be careful with
that seance thing, though.
That'll bring him out.
Pretty gnarly, man.
-Are we following her?
-I mean, I gue-- I guess.
-Yes. Okay.
-Come on. Let's go.
-It is on fleek.
-I know.
Seriously.
Oh, you behave.
Oh.
Here you go, ladies.
Welcome to your lovely room.
I made the beds.
- Wow.
- It's great. Thank you.
Follow me, boys.
Your room is at the other
end of the hotel and it
used to be my room.
Oh, it used to be her room.
Isn't that great?
-I'm sure it's good.
-Have so much fun, guys.
-Congratulations.
-See you, guys.
She is so odd.
Yeah, she's just crazy.
That's all.
-Yeah.
-Oh gosh.
Did you hear that?
Here what?
That.
Okay, you stop.
Cut that out.
Save that for the live stream.
Can I just
rest for a little bit?
That drive was so damn long.
What are you doing?
I-- I-- I don't know.
I keep seeing this weird light.
Come on. Be serious with
me right now. You don't see it?
This is just a game, Kat.
Save the show for the followers.
I don't need to see that.
What if there was
actually some truth to
this whole seance business?
What if it was actually
possible to reach out to Julia?
She's gone, Kat.
It just never
made any sense to me.
That's all.
Well, she was drunk.
The detective said
she was high on drugs too.
She never took drugs.
Well, I guess she did
that night.
I mean, it was an accident.
It was a horrible,
terrible accident.
I mean,
it was a huge frat party.
How is it possible
that nobody could have seen her?
I never should have
left her that night.
Hey. No, no.
You cannot
blame yourself for this.
Okay? Come here.
I miss her too.
Ah shit!
What?
No cell service
and sketchy power.
-Perfect.
-Dude, don't worry.
Give me a minute to set
up my satellite hookup and
we will be
in business in no time.
With this baby, we can
livestream like flipping CNN.
We freaking CNN.
-Okay, Mr. Nerd.
-Yep.
And that's why we're gonna
win due to my genius nerdiness.
So kiss my flipping ass, buddy.
Yeah. Okay, dude.
Oh, by the way, uh,
Mr. Nerd, there is one bed,
so enjoy the floor.
Love it.
Hola, geniuses.
Check out my ratchet cool tech.
This is the setup that we're
gonna use to win Metaxu, baby.
-Woo! Metaxu!
-Power Man in the house.
Yeah.
This place is sketchy.
Yeah. Steven, uh,
I'll go check this place out.
-Wanna come with?
-Uh, I'm all right,
I'm gonna finish
setting up the satellite.
All right. Sounds good.
Back to what I was saying.
This is definitely
the livestream that you want
to tune into
if you want to be scared.
Man, if you want to be
haunted to tune in tonight.
First seance, baby.
This place is actually sketch.
-Ah!
-Hey, hey, hey, hey.
It's me. What?
What happened?
Are you okay?
-I thought I saw--
-What?
What did you see?
-Nothing.
-Nothing?
What do you mean nothing?
The whole place was shaking.
You were screaming.
Nothing.
I just-- just destroyed
my flashlight is all. Okay?
I couldn't see clearly.
Guys, it was probably
just mild earthquakes.
Hopefully,
that's the last of them.
Earthquakes and ghosts.
-Perfect.
-Okay. Okay. Okay.
I think we're all just
getting a little worked up
about this
whole seance games thing.
Okay? It's just two nights
and then it's all gonna be over.
Yeah. Just two nights.
It's starting to get late.
We need to decide where
we're gonna set up the seance.
The table and the chairs
in the lobby should work.
Yeah, that sounds good.
Let's plan to meet back
in the lobby in a couple hours.
-Yeah?
-Cool. Okay.
Okay.
You are not real.
We are up and running.
Yes, we are.
Full bar. All right.
Katrina the Cat here
with the Magnificent Morgana.
-Time to get ready for Metaxu.
-Yes!
I am telling you guys,
this is going to be so gas.
I'm shook right now.
This place is for real scary.
Make sure you stay with
us because tonight we are going
to set up the very
first Metaxu seance game.
Trust me,
you won't wanna miss this.
We'll be livestreaming
on the Metaxu app,
so make sure you watch
our team with Morgana and I,
the Genius Brain Nerd,
and, of course, the Power Man.
The Power Man. You can
help us win Metaxu. How?
You can follow,
you can like, and you can
tune in tonight for
our very first seance.
And then tomorrow
night for our finale.
Woo! We are
the team to watch.
- Yeah!
- We can win this thing.
Make sure you turn
on your notifications,
keep them live, and that way
when we're live you can be too.
Okay? We'll
see you all soon.
- Yo.
- What's up, sir?
-How you feeling?
-Good.
I thought this
was gonna look dumb,
but it actually
looked kind of sick, right?
-You look pretty dope.
-Hello, boys.
Whoa.
- You guys look amazing.
- Wow.
-Hello. My goodness.
-Thank you. You too.
It looks really good in here.
Thank you. Thank you.
That would be my doing.
You know,
we have power, we have lights,
we have my
handy dandy high-powered
satellite internet,
main camera over there.
Oh my God,
you really are a genius.
Stop. Stop. Thank you.
Come on.
Don't tell him that.
-He's gonna get a big head.
-Okay.
At least my head
matches my body size, Power Man.
-"I'm Tommy."
-He's got you.
-"I'm Mr. Power Man. I'm Tommy."
-Somebody said it.
You see what I'm talking about?
I gotta walk like
I got a lot of power.
Get out of here, dude.
Okay, what are we doing here?
-We're all set to go.
-Yeah?
Yeah, let's go.
-All right. Take a seat.
-Let's do this. Sweet.
-Sweet.
-Okay.
-Take a seat there for me.
-My gosh, Tommy.
This costume
turned you into a gentleman?
Oh yeah, that's what it was.
-That's a surprise.
-Okay. Okay.
Connect to your phones
and pull up the Metaxu app.
Okay. We are all logged in.
The action
will play out together.
-Yes. Okay.
-Morgan, you wanna start us off?
Yes, of course.
And then you, Tommy. Yeah?
All right.
Going live in five,
four, three, two.
Hello, you magnificent
Morganers!
I'm here
with your winning team.
We've got Katrina the Cat,
the Power Man himself,
and our very
own Genius Brain Nerd.
Let me tell you that we have
definitely found
the scariest place on earth.
- Oh, yeah.
- I'm obsessed.
This
place is terrifying.
But be sure and like,
and follow and subscribe
all the way through this.
You can help
us win Metaxu, baby.
Just wanted to say
this isn't just a game for me.
I need to know if there
really is a spirit world.
Yeah.
I-- I think we all wanna know
if there's
really a spirit world.
So, are we ready?
Let's play Metaxu.
-Woo!
-Okay.
It's Brain Nerd here.
All cameras
are rolling and the website
says we're
supposed to hold hands.
-Cool with me.
-Okay.
-Cool with you?
-Yeah.
Nice grip.
Okay.
Spirits of the underworld.
Hear us. We summon you.
By the power
of the ultimate source
of universal energy,
Metaxu, we call on you.
Come forward now.
Reveal yourselves.
We call on you.
Come forward now.
Reveal yourselves. Metaxu.
The website says you're
supposed to chant that together.
- Metaxu.
- Metaxu. Metaxu.
Metaxu. Metaxu.
We have a million
followers watching live already.
- Yes, a million.
- Metaxu.
-Keep going. Keep going.
-Metaxu.
Metaxu. Metaxu.
Metaxu. Metaxu. Metaxu.
-Come on.
-Metaxu.
-Metaxu. Metaxu. Metaxu.
-What's that sound?
-Okay. Keep it together.
-Metaxu.
-Come on.
-Metaxu. Metaxu.
Metaxu. Metaxu.
-Ah!
-Oh my God!
-What the fuck?
-You opened the portal.
He will come for you all.
All of you.
And you...
you will never leave this place.
Did you get all that?
Did that-- did that record?
-Yeah. I--
-How many views did we get?
-We're still live.
-I knew it.
It's real.
We have over 50
million live viewers right now.
That's insane.
Everyone, everyone,
did you see all that?
Oh my God,
the comments are pouring in.
The Kraken
says that has to be fake.
No, that was completely real.
We didn't stage anything.
Guys, this is really hot.
We need to shut all this down.
Uh, okay. Uh, yeah, we're
gonna-- we're gonna regroup.
Um, that was
totally and completely real.
Like 100%. No shit. Okay?
Uh, so what-- what
do I say? Uh.
Yes. Make sure you, uh,
come back tomorrow night
-for seance number two.
-Number two.
Two! Who knows
what we're gonna see.
-Woo!
-Um, and-- and turn
on your notifications
that you don't miss us.
-Yeah. Turn 'em on.
-You don't wanna miss it.
That was a real ghost.
Oh my God! You guys,
we're totally gonna win Metaxu.
Can you believe how many
livestream followers we had?
No.
-We did it.
-Yeah.
Are you guys seriously not
realizing what just happened?
Oh my God.
That was insane.
She like had red hair and
she just come out of nowhere?
It-- it was amazing.
-I mean-- I mean, scary. Sure.
-Yeah. Whatever.
- But everybody's okay, right?
- Yeah.
Right? I really
need this to work.
Yeah. Okay.
Um, one more night like
that and we are gonna win.
Like absolutely.
Okay. What? 300 grand each.
What is that, Steven?
-Like, 1.5--
-$1.2 million.
$1.2 million.
Okay? And the followers.
The followers are
worth millions, baby.
-Woo! I'm getting stoked.
-Okay.
-Okay.
-Getting stoked, man.
Okay. One more night. One.
Okay.
One more night.
Let's all, uh, head to bed.
Try to get some sleep. Okay?
- We got a big night tomorrow.
- Yeah.
Yeah. Okay.
I can't believe it.
It just came out of nowhere.
That's crazy.
-Jesus. We can't.
-Why? Yeah, we can.
Right here.
-Are you sure?
-Yeah.
Come with me.
-Morgan?
-Uh...
Yes. Kat.
Nobody can sneak past you,
can they?
It's none of my business,
but just be careful. Okay?
Kat, I'm fine.
Okay.
What?
I didn't say anything.
Yeah, no, you're just
thinking too damn loud.
-It's just that--
-What?
We saw a ghost, Morgan.
A real ghost.
And she spoke to us.
I mean, this is all real.
Okay.
Yes, I guess.
But we have
to document that we spent
the night here or
else we run the risk
of being disqualified and
we are so close to winning this.
I really need this, Kat.
My whole life is a farce.
No, it's not. What
are you talking about?
You are so much more than
you give yourself credit for.
No, no, I'm not.
I'm not smart like you.
I practically failed
most of my college courses.
You, you, Kat.
You can do anything
you want with your life.
Not me.
I drive a rented Mustang and
wear bargain basement clothes.
I'm-- I'm broke.
So I need sponsors.
Because without the money
and without the followers...
I'm nobody.
-That's not true.
-Yeah.
I just-- I just need to, uh,
believe that we're all gonna be
okay and that we're
gonna win $1.2 million.
Is it worth it if
something bad happens though?
I mean, you heard
what that ghost said.
Just try not to think about it.
Please.
Please.
Let's get some sleep.
Or at least let me.
Morg.
What?
My parents want me to
be a doctor or a lawyer
or some damn important thing.
But... it's not what I want.
At least, I don't think it is.
Morgan, you know
who you are and what you want.
I don't.
Julia?
Julia?
This isn't
a game. This isn't a game.
Julia.
Julia.
Julia, please stop.
Julia?
Julia.
Julia, wait, please.
I'm so sorry I left you there.
I never should have.
I never understood
what happened to you.
-I was pushed.
-What?
I was held down in
the water until I drowned.
The police thought you had too
much to drink and then you fell
into the pool and everyone
said it was an accident.
No accident.
I can't breathe.
I couldn't breathe, Kat.
-I couldn't breathe.
-Who did this to you?
Please, tell me
who did this to you.
Shh! Shh! Be quiet.
The killer is here.
What? What do you mean?
Julia?
Julia!
Wait, don't go.
Please, don't go.
Please.
-Hey, hey, hey.
-What?
Sorry.
Where is she?
Who?
-You were dreaming.
-No, it was Julia.
I was actually talking to her.
-Morgan, she was here.
-Hey, hey.
It was just a dream.
Morgan, she told me
that she was murdered.
Okay.
You cannot keep doing
this to yourself.
There was a full investigation.
She drowned in the pool.
She had alcohol mixed
with some other shit
that she took at the frat party.
-Okay?
-Wait a second.
Who gave it to her then?
-Who gave her the drugs?
-What do you mean?
Wasn't Tommy giving
out Molly that night?
Yeah. Okay.
Um, now you're really
starting to piss me off.
-Morgan!
-Hey, um, the boys put together
some breakfast outside if--
if you're hungry.
She told me that somebody
held her head under the water.
-What if Tommy was--
-Oh, what the--
for fuck sake, Kat?
Do you even hear yourself
right now?
Steven was at that party too,
you know.
And for that matter, so was I.
-Tommy was the only one--
-No, no, Kat, stop.
-You always do this to me.
-Do what to you?
Whenever I start liking guy,
you always find
something wrong with him.
Okay. I mean,
what the hell is with you?
-Good morning, Morg.
-Hey, Steven.
-Thank you.
-No problem. No problem.
-Gotta keep my crew fed.
-That's it.
How'd you guys sleep?
So good.
Like really good.
Right, Tommy?
What about you?
-Really well. Really, uh--
-Yeah.
-We got all eight hours.
-Good.
Tommy made me sleep
on the floor, so.
Oh, hotel room floor,
not as comfortable as you think.
Tommy.
There is one bed.
Good morning, sleepy head.
Want some eggs and bacon?
Uh, no, thanks.
-Not hungry yet.
-You sure?
Okay, thanks.
Can't seance
on an empty stomach.
-What's up, Kat?
-Nothing.
Just thinking.
Okay. About what?
The truth.
Oh. Damn it.
You're all good.
We got way more.
I've unsurprisingly planned
really well for this trip.
The truth is there's so much
we don't really know, right?
Perception and reality can be
two entirely different things.
Oh my gosh.
You are so whack.
You know what?
Yeah, maybe I am.
I'm going for a walk.
I need some more air.
-What is that all about?
-Don't ask.
It's just breakfast.
-That's lovely.
-Thanks.
I've gotta do something
to stay sane around here, man.
Are the ghost stories real?
What do you think?
What happened here?
Oh, it's a hell of a story.
A long, long time ago,
this place belonged
to a very wealthy man
and his beautiful wife.
They had a son,
but the husband was
so possessive that he couldn't
share her with anyone,
not even their own son, man.
So the boy was sent away.
And every single day,
the wife in all
of her loneliness
and sorrow would relentlessly
brush her long,
beautiful red hair
while he watched.
She was his greatest possession.
How did they die?
-A demon's curse.
-A demon's curse?
How do you fit into this story?
Oh, I'm just the manager.
I've seen it all.
I check them in,
but they don't check out.
What do you mean?
Who are you talking to?
I was talking to Sally. She's--
well, she was right here.
How did she--
Something going on
with you, Kat?
No, I'm fine.
You can take a step back, Tommy.
You had something to do
with what happened to Julia,
didn't you?
I always had my suspicions,
but I didn't wanna believe it.
What are you talking about?
I saw you at that party
hitting on her.
What did she do?
Did she turn you down?
Don't even think about
hurting Morgan.
Hurting Morgan? Okay.
I mean, come on.
Maybe I'll hurt you.
Okay. I'm just kidding.
Besides, what if I wanted you?
That doesn't matter.
You asshole.
Goddamnit. Morgan.
Morgan.
Wait a goddamn minute.
Why should I?
It was Julia all along,
wasn't it?
-I was just convenient?
-No.
I heard what you said to Kat.
Come on.
That was bullshit.
She doesn't know what
she's talking about.
Okay.
Then tell me the truth.
From the beginning all
along was it me or Julia?
Come on.
Morgan, it was you.
Okay? It was always you.
And to tell you half the time,
I-I-I didn't know if
you actually liked me or not.
Are you kidding?
I've always liked you.
It has only ever been you to me.
And last night I thought
that we finally--
I'm such an idiot.
You know, Kat is right.
This isn't a game.
None of it.
It's not worth it.
And sure, I need the money,
but I don't need this.
-I'm leaving.
-What-- don't leave.
I'm getting
my stuff and I'm leaving.
Guys don't-- you can't leave.
Shit!
Wait a second.
What happened?
Alright, fuck it.
We'll have 1.2 million
to split two ways
instead of four.
No, we won't.
Morgan has the most
followers out of any of us.
If she leaves, we'll
have no chance at winning this.
Any other team
will be able to win.
-They're not leaving.
-What do you mean?
I won't let them.
No gas.
Her car isn't going anywhere.
We will do this the way
we planned and then
they can go wherever
the fuck they want.
Tommy, this is not right.
-Do not do this. This--
-Get outta my way!
Are you sure you want to leave?
What the hell, Kat?
Make up your mind.
You were the one
who stirred all this up
in the first place
over a damn dream.
It wasn't just a dream.
Do you really think that Tommy
was the cause for Julia's death?
Maybe he's a jerk
but a murderer?
I mean, I hate him right
now too, but come on.
Okay. Maybe you're right.
I just miss Julia a lot.
And all of this seance
shit is getting to me.
I just wanted to be able
to connect with her.
That's all.
Morg, Kat,
uh, can I come in?
Oh shit. Are you okay?
Oh my God. Shit.
Is this Tommy?
Oh my. Oh, it looks like
you could use a stitch or two.
-Why would he do this to you?
-I don't know.
We just need to forget
all this crap and go home.
-No gas.
-What do you mean?
He is not gonna give me
any of his gas now?
I don't know.
He's out of his mind.
All the followers and
the money and everything,
it's-- it's gotten to his head.
That's bullshit.
I'm not taking any
of that shit from him.
I'll suck the gas out of
his fucking truck if I have to.
-Going somewhere?
-Fuck, Tommy.
I wanna leave right now.
Yeah. Get out of my--
-No one is going anywhere.
-I wanna go!
Tommy, this isn't right.
Get ahold of yourself.
None of this is worth it.
This place is dangerous.
I can feel it.
We need to leave.
-Shut the fuck up.
-I'll call the police.
You're not calling the police.
I took your little
satellite hookup. Okay?
No one is leaving
and we are doing
the second seance
like we planned.
No one is leaving.
Tommy. Tommy, come on.
Tommy?
Tommy, please. Stop.
Come on. Let me try.
Shit.
Damn it!
The door.
It's moving.
It's the hotel.
It is time.
What have you been
doing, my love?
- Only this, my love.
- Have you had any visitors?
No. Never. As you wish.
You are my good
and faithful wife, are you not?
Yes. Always.
- Mm-hmm.
- For eternity.
You would never lie to me,
would you?
No, never.
Well, then,
what's wrong, my dear?
Why are you crying?
I'm not crying.
I'm-- I'm just,
I'm just so lonely. I --
But my darling,
I'm all that you need.
I've given you all of this.
I provide for you.
I care for you.
- Yes, but I--
- But what?
I just-- I just wish
that I could have one--
You would never betray me,
would you?
Never.
Hmm. Then who the hell
was the young man at this house?
Let me explain.
It's not what you think.
- Liar.
- No, listen, no, listen to me.
You need to know who he is.
This is your fault!
You betrayed me.
That's the one rule
that you could not break.
And yet you did. Believe me,
I will find him.
I will slice his throat
just like I did yours.
What did you do? He's your son.
No. No. That can't be.
Not my son.
He's our son.
My son. Anna. Oh, my Anna. Anna.
Oh my-- What have I done?
What have I done?
What was that? Okay.
What was that?
Okay, that's it. I'm leaving.
Uh, where's my phone? One bar.
One bar. I have one bar.
He turned off the satellite
connection, remember?
It's useless.
Just let me out here.
What the hell?
Let me try.
Let's just break the damn thing.
Okay.
Are you guys seeing this?
Mmm. Rye whiskey.
- It's you.
- Yes.
It's been a very long time.
They brought him out, man.
It's of their own doing.
Yes, I know.
Perhaps now we can be free. Yes.
Yes.
Why don't you try some of this?
Oh, I can't remember
the last time I could...
taste.
Cheers.
Cheers. Oh.
Mmm.
Let's go.
What-- what are we gonna do?
Let's just get out of
this hotel, and--
and we'll think of something.
Hopefully Tommy has come
to his senses by now.
It won't open.
Tommy? Buddy? Can you hear me?
You need to stop all
of this right now.
It won't open anymore.
But you're right.
You were the one who locked
it in the first place.
No, I-- it wasn't me, guys.
I swear.
I-- it was-- it was this place.
I think it wants us to
play the seance game.
- What wants us to?
- I don't know.
The-- the-- the hotel,
the-- the ghost
that made me do
what I fucking did.
And now
we are all locked in here.
It's the story behind
this place.
The man and his wife.
Wait, what story?
The ghost that came through
in our seance last night.
Sally was telling me
about it yesterday.
The woman and her husband.
He murdered her here, and now
it's like a curse or something.
Sounds like hell.
I think it is hell.
I wish I could say you all
sound crazy right now.
They won't let us leave
until we complete
what we came here for.
Tommy, just let me turn
on the satellite connection
so that we can get out of here.
I already tried that here.
- And call 911.
- I already tried that.
And you turned on
the satellite box?
- I did.
- Connection was live?
Yeah, I did. The phone
calls won't go through.
It disconnected.
The phone doesn't work.
See, they won't let us leave.
Well, the Metaxu app and
website is still up and running.
I told you.
Guys, this place wants
us to play the seance game.
Look, I'm-- Morgan,
I'm so sorry.
I am. I don't --
Guys, let's just complete
the second seance.
Okay?
And then hopefully
the doors will open again,
and we could get
the hell outta here.
Guys. We will win the game,
and we will win the money.
- I promise.
- I mean, it is a lot of money.
It won't matter if we all die.
No, it won't.
Well, I guess we really
don't have a choice.
Do we, Stephen?
Well, I guess we don't.
Take a seat, Stephen. Everyone.
Okay, since
I'm already logged in,
all I need to do is
start the live stream.
So are we ready?
- Yeah, let's do this.
- Okay.
Let's join hands.
Going live in five,
four, three, two.
We are back
with our second seance.
Now, of course,
you all saw last night
we conjured an actual ghost.
We are going to ask all
of you to help us win Metax --
We are in danger. This
isn't a game at all.
Somebody please send help.
We're at the old hotel
at the end--
Shut up!
They are watching
everything we're doing.
We already have way more
viewers than last night.
We have over 350 million
live viewers.
Holy crap.
Let's just do the seance.
We can win this money
and then get outta here.
I already told you.
It won't matter
if we're all dead.
The comments, "You guys
are our favorite team."
"How did you fake that ghost
illusion last night?"
No, it wasn't an illusion.
It was real.
Stephen,
let's do this.
Spirits of the underworld,
hear us.
We summon you.
By the power of the ultimate
source of universal energy,
Metaxu, we call on you.
Come forward now. Reveal
yourselves. Metaxu.
Metaxu.
Metaxu.
Metaxu. Come on.
Metaxu. Say it.
Metaxu. Metaxu. Metaxu.
- 400 million.
- Metaxu. Metaxu.
- Reveal yourself to us now.
- 550.
- Metaxu.
- 600 million.
Metaxu. Metaxu. Join us.
Everyone watching at home,
say it with us. Metaxu. Metaxu.
Everyone is saying
Metaxu online.
Metaxu. Metaxu. Metaxu.
666 million viewers are
watching us live right now.
Metaxu.
Guys, we're gonna crash
the internet.
Stop! Stop! Morgan.
Look at Tommy.
- Metaxu! Metaxu!
- Tommy, please,
let go of my hand.
You're hurting me.
Stephen, shut it down.
Don't you see what's happening?
All those millions of followers?
We've opened up the gate
to hell.
You have released us all.
A demon...for a demon.
My wife, a murder by my hand
crushed my soul for eternity.
- Please forgive me.
- We're all free now.
You murdered her because
you could not have her.
Jealousy and murder
are the sins of the demon.
You have the demon's curse.
Tommy, let me go!
Let her go!
Stephen. Stephen, unplug.
This is dark.
Tommy!
It's unplugged.
Nothing's changing.
Let me go!
Tommy, let me go!
Let her go!
Tommy, please stop.
She said those same
fucking words to me.
Please, stop. I hate
that. It's so damn annoying.
Tommy, stop! Tommy!
You all
are so easy to break.
Tommy! Tommy, let her go!
Oops. Look what you made me do.
- Kat. Kat, Kat.
- Morgan.
We-- we need to go.
- Morgan.
- We need to run.
Morgan! No! No!
Sorry.
We need to run. Go!
Stay-- stay away from us.
Leave--
Stay the fuck
away from me. No.
How did you know?
How did I know
that you murdered Julia?
Yeah, how did you know?
I handled everything perfectly.
She had a little fentanyl-laced
Molly in her system.
I gave it to her.
She was just supposed
to let me fuck her, you know.
She didn't want you.
Oh, come on. I mean,
look at me. Who doesn't want me?
I'm the-- I'm the Power Man.
So, you know, I had to kill her.
And you know what the best
part about it was?
- No!
- Was how easy it actually was.
I just held her head
under the water and watched
her kick and squirm until
she was finally just...
Quiet. No noise. No bubbles.
Just a little guppy.
Tommy. Tommy, stop.
Tommy, please stop.
You are my friend.
- I never...
- No, no, Tommy, stop!
...was your fucking friend!
I just needed your help
winning this game.
And now I'm sure we've won.
Woo-hoo! Teamwork. Oh, and I'll
take all that money, by the way.
Thank you very much, guys.
'Cause, after all,
you all were-- were killed
by the-- the ghosts,
the demons of this hotel.
And I, being
a superhero guy that I am,
I did my best to save you.
I did. I really tried. Boohoo.
You are a sick bastard.
Well, maybe I am, Kat.
Maybe I am.
But that's
the thing about today.
You can be a crazy piece of
shit, but as long as you smile
and put on a good front,
nobody bats an fucking eye.
And I'll probably gain what,
Stephen, like another
billion followers or so.
That's the best part about it.
I mean, just think
about what I could do.
I could do anything I wanted.
I could
rule the whole damn world.
The only thing standing
in my way is you, Kat.
No, no, no!
Somebody help me! Somebody
needs help! Sally! Someone!
I am so sorry.
Where did you hide
your car keys, asshole?
Please.
Sorry.
What's going on?
Your friends are guests
of the hotel now.
What are you?
I'm merely the manager
of this establishment.
Establishment?
Yeah. You know,
the gates of hell.
Please just-- just tell
me what I need to do now.
I just wanna go home.
You've got work to do.
You're the only one who can
save your friends now, man.
Save my friends? They're already
dead. What? Are you crazy?
Yeah, definitely have
been for decades, man.
I just wanna go home.
Just how do I get out of here?
The demon of the hotel
controls that now. Not me.
He's done. I saw him leave.
Him and his wife. They're gone.
Tommy's the demon now,
but he's still half-mortal.
He must die, and then he'll be
stuck here and pay for his sins.
He murdered my friends.
The hotel must have
a demon, and then order
can return to the gates of hell.
He's here.
What have you been
doing, little mouse? Aha-aha.
You looking for these? Huh?
We are in the middle of nowhere.
So you are not getting
anywhere without these.
Should I snap your neck
like I did Morgan? Oh, oh.
Or maybe I'll break you
in half, like I did Steven.
Oh, no. I think I'll
drown you, just like Julia.
Hello, Tommy.
Look at you.
I'm so, uh, I'm so sorry.
- Are you?
- Yeah.
Really?
Stephen, I killed you.
I killed-- what?
I killed all of you.
I killed all of you.
Why won't you die?
Why won't you?
I had a Mustang back in my day.
Out of sight, man.
Best car ever.
And I got you just enough
gas to get outta here.
Courtesy of my husband.
I got to see him.
He can be
a bit stubborn at times.
I love him.
What the hell are you?
Not hell, at least not yet.
I'm Metaxu.
What does that
even mean? Metaxu?
The in between.
There is life, there is death.
I'm neither. I'm both, man.
What will happen to my friends?
Thanks to you,
they're gonna be just fine.
And Tommy?
Oh, he's our demon now.
- He's stuck here.
- Forever?
Until another
demon takes his place.
Someone very worthy.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
I think you found your calling.
Wave to my husband
on the way out, okay?
Have a nice day.
Come back anytime.
Please, please,
please, please. Mom?
Mom, they're all gone.
