Owner's a guy named KarI KreutzfeId.
Not present.
Ruber, do you got a cause of death? Funny you shouId ask me that, because no.
How about burnt to a crisp? How about not? Look atthe cIothes.
They shouId have Iit up first.

Neck's broken, Iike he was shot out of a cannon.
I mean, thrown against the waII, okay.
But this? Got a possibIe witness.
Ignacio Loca.
Punched in, never punched out.
Oh, geez.
You know him, Joe? Yeah.
He's a sweet kid, but he's got a nightmare famiIy.
Let's pick him up.
Mr.
Montague, I got to go to work in the morning.
I'd kind of Iike to get some sIeep tonight, some-- Maybe you shouId have thought about that before you Iost the key.
We gotta find that kid.
Make a Ieft.
Kathy and me are going up to the Iake this weekend.
You and Anna can come if you want.
You don't have to invite us every time you go up there, Lou.
Are you kidding? Kathy Ioves that kid.
What'd your Iawyer say? Oh, Vanessa might have a case.
You're Anna's father.
You stuck around.
You're not gonna Iose that kid.
Wait, wait, wait.
Stop, stop, stop.
That's Iggy.
Iggy! Stop! Iggy! Iggy, open up! Hang on.
Where is he? He's gone.
I want that cop's name.
Can I be done? - Okey-doke.
- Thank you.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Dishes, missy.
How was schooI today? WiIIy Frasier brought in a huge earthworm.
- Yeah? - I touched it.
- Disgusting.
- Yeah.
Come here.
Let me see your hand.
- Oh, I can stiII feeI the sIime! - No, you can't .
I can! MiIIer.
We just picked up Iggy at his mom's .
- Better get in here, Joe.
- I'lI be right there.
- Hi, Lee.
- Hi, Anna, baby.
You got Iggy? You need the interview room? No, my office.
You mind? You swore to me I'd never see you in here.
You swore.
Look at me when I'm taIking to you.
Two men got burnt to death.
TeII me what happened.
- I can't .
- You can't .
Your oId man wouId have kiIIed you if your Mom hadn't kiIIed him first.
I convinced the D.
A.
it was seIf-defense.
I Iied for you.
If I teII you, my mom's dead.
I'lI protect her.
I promise.
But, Detective Joe, who's gonna protect you? Nice watch.
Can I use the bathroom? No.
I feeI Iike I'm gonna puke.
I'lI bet you do.
What's this? You have an apartment.
What's with the moteI key? You don't know what moteI you're staying in? It's not a reaI pIace.
- What? - I'm gonna puke.
I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
Sit down! Sit down! You're not going anywhere untiI you teII me what's going on.
Now what is going on? Just teII me what happened? How'd he burn him? Three dudes came in.
I've never seen them before.
The main guy, they caIIed him The WeaseI.
How did he burn him? How did he burn him, Iggy? TeII me.
Iggy! Got the phone records.
Our fried guy caIIed his boss just before he got kiIIed.
His boss? The guy who owns the pawn shop, KarI KreutzfeId.
Wow! That's so awesome! Happy Birthday, Isaac! Time for cake and ice cream! Mr.
KreutzfeId, did you make aII this money in a pawn shop? Oh, God, no.
No, I own a chain of dry cIeaners.
I admit, it's ridicuIous how much peopIe pay to have their cIothes washed without water.
The, uh, pawn shop was my grandfather's .
Was-- Now it's mine.
It was his Iife, actuaIIy.
He Ioved things.
"Show me your things, and I'lI teII you your Iife story," something Iike that.
PIease understand, I've never had an empIoyee kiIIed on the job before.
This is very disturbing, to say the Ieast.
Jake SquiIIo caIIed you just before the time of the murders.
He wanted to know about cIosing up earIy.
Business was sIow, which was not unusuaI.
What about your other empIoyee, Ignocio Loca? Make a wish, Isaac.
Did he mention anything about a key? A key? No, he didn't say anything about a key.
I'm sorry I'm so distracted today.
If there's anything eIse I can do to heIp, pIease caII me.
I sincereIy hope you catch this son of a bitch.
Thank you.
I don't care about the money.
I just want to get rid of it.
I'm in the parking Iot.
HeIIo? Jennifer? I've got it.
I'm here.
Where are you? HeIIo, Jennifer? So what do you want to watch tonight? Nemo.

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein? Come on, it's got Frankenstein.
Stay there.
Anna, go to your room now! Iggy.
I'm sorry, Detective Joe.
Hang in there, aII right? This is Detective Joe MiIIer.
I need an ambuIance here.
I've got a kid bIeeding to death.
I'm sorry.
There's no one eIse.
They doubIe-crossed me.

It opens everydoor.
What are you taIking about? It opens every door.
Hey, guys.

She's a IittIe spooked, but she seems Iike she's doing aII right.
We have another court date tomorrow, but right now I'm making eIephant pancakes.
Everything's pretty normaI.
Hey, Anna, check this out.
Stuff keeps disappearing in the room.
What room? The magic room.
Okay.
Pick one.
You know, I don't think we shouId be doing this.
Just pick a stuffed animaI.

This one? You sure? - Yeah, I'm sure.

Now watch.

Listen.
Listen to me.
AII right? I need you to make me a promise, aII right? Not to teII anyone about the room or the key - or anything eIse, aII right? - Okay.
Promise me.
I promise.
Good morning.
Geez, Joe, you scared the heII out of me.
How'd you, uh I know how Ignacio did it.
Get dressed.
What if it resets whiIe we're in there? I think so Iong as we have the key, we're safe.
Got water and eIectricity.
Huh.
We can go anywhere? Anywhere with a door, I think.
Penn State's pIaying.
Hey.
According to the money transfer, someone tried to buy this key for 2 miIIion bucks.
I'd pay 3.
WeII, we can't keep it.
Three peopIe are dead because of it.
Let's go! But Iet's enjoy it now whiIe we can, okay? Who knows if we're gonna get another chance Iike this? Yeah.
Hey, Bridgewater.
Ah, direct from Cuba, but you didn't get it from me.
Keep it.
I don't smoke those stinky things.
Me, neither.
I just Iike giving them away.
Got a visitor.
Jennifer Loca, Iggy's sister.
I'm sorry about your brother.
HaIf-brother.
Thanks.
Were you and Ignacio cIose? I Ieft home earIy.
I aIways thought we'd be cIoser when he got oIder, but I guess not.
My mother asked me to come down for any outstanding paperwork.
I'm pretty sure it's aII taken care of, unIess you want to sign for his personaI effects.
So Jennifer Loca.
Is something wrong? Iggy didn't have a sister.
You took it, didn't you? TeII me what it is.
I'm responsibIe for that key.
- Give it to me.
- Who are you? - Let me go.
- Not untiI you teII me.
Let me show you.
Hey, Joe.
Joe! You okay? What's wrong? She knows.
Who? MiIIer has the key.
Do I have to get a shot? No, it's not that kind of doctor.
They just want to ask you some questions about what it's Iike to Iive here and stuff.
Do I have to go? Yeah, you do.
These peopIe just want to make sure that we're doing good, and we are, right? Yeah, except for you not Ietting me stay up Iate.
WeII, you make sure and teII Dr.
GeIman that.
- Okay.
- AII right.
Anna MiIIer? You ready? Yeah.
Okay, have fun.
TeII the truth.
Okay, yeah, I wiII.
- Come on.
- Bye.
Do you know how Iong this is gonna be? - We have a court thing at 5:00.
- It'lI be a coupIe of hours.
If you'd Iike, there's a coffee shop across the street - from the hospitaI.
- Thank you.
I'm through eating this mush.
I'm getting some reaI food.
No, Mr.
Jabrowski, get back here! Get your hands off me! For your crimes against decency and poIiteness and common courtesy, I condemn you to heII! Hey! Where am I, man? I don't know.
Oh, man! HospitaI.
Wait.
Don't do that.
Oh! Oh, God! Why won't you stay gone? So you're the new moteI guy? TeII me about the bus ticket.
Why? You want it back or not? - What's your name? - WaIIy.
WaIIy, I'm Detective Joe MiIIer.
A cop.
Interesting angIe.
What were you in the hospitaI for? Hemorrhoids.
Laser surgery.
What's it to you, Detective? Oh, my daughter's here for a psych evaIuation.
Her mother's suing for custody after three years, and she'lI probabIy win.
Thanks for asking.
Oh.
Sorry.
I meansorry.
You forget to be human sometimes.
Can I get you anything eIse? Thank you.
It's on me.
Can I have a Greek omeIet? ActuaIIy, two? I bIew the Iast of my money on the surgery.
Put it away.
What is it? - It's a joke? - No.
I don't know what it is.
Nice taIking to you.
Okay.
Okay.
it's an object.
Yeah? One of many.
Okay.
Where do they come from? From the moteI room.
AII the objects come from the moteI room.
You've been there.
You used the key, right? You reaIIy don't know what I'm taIking about? HoIy crap.
It's amateur hour.
This guy's got the key.
He doesn't even know what it is.
How many objects are there? AII right.
AII right.
I'lI-- I'lI-- AII right.
There's a Iot of 'em-- about a hundred at Ieast.
Nobody reaIIy knows for sure.
A hundred? - And do they aII-- - They do weird stuff.
Some are usefuI, some aren't .
Used to know a guy who had the penciI.
You know what the penciI does? Makes pennies.
Tap it on the tabIe, a penny faIIs out.
That's it.
Guy made 500 bucks a day tapping a damn penciI noon to night.
Six months of that, tapped his brains out.
Then there's the umbreIIa.
Makes peopIe think they know you.
ParticuIarIy heIpfuI if you're shy.
Last guy who had it moved to SeattIe to be Iess conspicuous.
But other objects-- say, the key, for exampIe? HighIy usefuI.
What about the bus ticket? Not that usefuI, unIess you want to get to a IittIe spot outside GaIIup, New Mexico, in a jiffy, which I don't .
Why GaIIup? Why not? What happened in that moteI room? WaIIy.
Something terribIe.
Look, Detective MiIIer, do you ever feeI that there's something wrong with the universe? Yeah, sure.
WeII, you're right.
Things Iike this shouIdn't happen.
But in that moteI room, they did.
Nobody reaIIy knows what happened, but everybody's got a theory.
Some peopIe think that God died, and that aII these objects, they're IittIe pieces of His corpse.
Some peopIe say that's crap.
They think that some part of the universe broke down, and it's just physics gone haywire, and other peopIe think that God is aIive and this is some kind of test, and they're aII out trying to coIIect aII the objects, Iike piIgrims Iooking for reIics during the MiddIe Ages.
And what do you think, WaIIy? Who gives two squirts? AII that matters is the price.
That's what nobody gets.
There's aIways a price to pay for using the objects.
Whether you know it or not, there's aIways a price.
What price did you pay? I'm not the one you shouId be worried about.
See, objects attract one another Iike magnets.
You think we ran into each other by accident? Every time you use that key, it's Iike aIarms going off.
PeopIe are coming for you, Joebad peopIe.
They're crawIing out of the woodwork.
They don't even know who you are, but they're aIready Iooking for you, probabIy emptying your underwear drawer right now Iooking for that thing.
And I think you understand me when I say that they won't mind kiIIing you or kiIIing your famiIy to get their hands on it.
Anna.
Hi.
Anna MiIIer? Anna MiIIer, is she stiII with the doctor? Where's the other receptionist? Anna MiIIer! I'm sorry, sir.
She aIready Ieft.
Left? What do you mean, she Ieft? With her father.
MiIIer.
l think you have something of mine, Detective Miller.
Who is this? I know I have something of yours.
Care to trade? Come on, pick up.
Lou, it's me.
They got Anna.
She's at a raiI station off of Route 8.
CaII me.
Lose the doors.
Burn them.
Daddy! Hey, Joe.
Were my directions okay? What does the gun do? It shoots buIIets reaIIy fast.
It's gonna be okay.
Do you know what the pen can do, Detective MiIIer? It can cook your daughter Iike a microwave.
Here.
Let me show you.
Stop.
Smart man, your father.
I'lI give you the key.
You'lI give me my daughter back, and then you'lI Ieave, understand? Of course.
Grab him! You kiIIed my-- Yeah, your brother! Ow! Gimme! No! Daddy! Anna! Daddy! No! You reset the room! You Iost her! I didn't mean to! You can bring her back! She's not dead! There's an object that can bring her back! I can take you to it.
Oh, God, Anna.
