Ghoul Catchers (2019) - full transcript
Four friends started hunting ghouls at the age of 12 for fun. 15 years later they continue their pursuit to prove ghouls/ghosts exist...this time it's personal.
- Well, it's actually
been happening since July.
I kind of get the feeling
that a spirit's trying
to get in touch with me.
Have you ever heard of that happening?
- Yeah, I mean, definitely.
I mean I think you'd be surprised
how many times we hear
something like that.
- Really?
- Oh yeah, you said it's
a distinct creaking noise?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, really loud.
- And it's just a creak,
it's not like a voice or a
piano?
- No definitely a creak.
- Now would you say that this creak
is more of like an eeh
or is it more like an ahh?
- Name's Dave Fellows.
I'm a PI, paranormal investigator.
I started my business, The Ghoul Catchers,
with my best friend when
we were 12 years old.
I've always had this
connection with ghouls.
I don't know, they seem
to let their guard down
when I'm around.
- Have I ever seen a ghost?
Technically, no
but Dave has seen a ton,
so I feel like I've seen one too.
Plus, I've seen a bunch of movies,
The Haunted Mansion,
and I've been on the ride in Disney World.
So there's quite a few ghosts there,
I don't know how they do that.
Casper, Hotel Transylvania,
the Godfather Part Three.
- Anything weird happen over here?
I'm getting a lot of strange readings.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- No.
Oh, yeah, I dropped a
gallon of milk over there.
- That's interesting.
- You really think
the spirit got that?
- Wouldn't surprise me one smidge.
- Hey Vera,
has your freezer been making ice lately?
- No.
- Ooh, that could be a ghost.
- Yeah dude, nice catch.
- I don't know, maybe but
it looks like it could be
the vent is jammed back there.
- Okay but let's not rule anything out.
- Hey, is this the sound
you've been hearing?
- Yeah, that's it.
- Yes.
- All right, mystery solved.
Okay, thanks Franklin.
- I mean it could've been a ghost
that broke the ice maker, right Dave?
- Are we done TJ?
How many times does this happen to us?
We get a call to
investigate a haunted house
and it turns out that
the ice machine's broken
or the floorboard's rickety.
- Hey, what about that one guy
who keeps emailing us about
checking out his butt,
saying his butt's haunted?
Like what does that even mean?
Am I the only one
that's like actually curious
about checking that thing out,
haunted butt crack?
- Doesn't even matter, dude, okay.
No one takes us seriously.
I just feel like we're
never gonna find a ghost
and if we don't find a ghost
what are we even doing here?
- It's Tim.
Hey.
- Oh hey, Tim.
- Hey, what's up?
- Which hospital are you staying at?
- What?
- Yeah, you must be in a hospital, right?
Why would you have missed today then?
- Dave, I'm not in the hospital.
What's today?
- What's today, Ghoul
Catchers, that's today.
We had a tip at Miss Hayes' house.
We literally waited
outside of your apartment
for about 45 minutes.
Franklin almost had to break in.
- Wait, what?
- Franklin says hi.
- Hi Tim.
- Dave, I was at work.
- What?
- Jesus, again?
I work nine to five Monday through Friday.
- Is that nine to five p.m.?
- Yeah, standard hours.
Did you still want to come
over for pizza tonight?
My treat.
- Yes, yes, yes.
- All right.
Dennis, get the cheesy bread.
- Oh Tim, Dave wants cheesy bread.
- No, not cheesy bread.
- And the crew, you guys good with pizza?
- What crew?
- No, okay, never mind, sorry, bye Tim.
Let's go, let's go, pizza.
- What's up, guys?
- Hey, Tim.
- What's with the camera crew?
- Oh that's my little
brother's friend, Craig.
They're just gonna follow
us around a little bit.
- Yeah, they're making a movie about us.
- Shut up, Franklin.
- My name's Tim Donnelly.
I started, well me and Dave
started the Ghoul Catchers
when we were 12.
Did Dave say that already?
- Yeah.
- Okay, anyway, I went off to college
and I got a full time job
so I can't really hang
out with the gang as much.
- You've been best friend
for what 19 years now?
- Correct.
- So you know when I say this,
if you ever pull a stunt
like you did today--
- Hold on, a stunt?
Dave, you mean my job.
- You sell solar panels.
- I'm preventing further
deterioration of our ozone layer.
I'm doing a good thing.
- That's such a myth.
- A myth.
- Yes.
- The ozone layer is a myth
but ghosts are real?
- It's ghouls and yes,
now you're getting it.
- You know, did you guys
even make any money today?
- Oh my God, you know that we
don't think on those terms.
- We made 90 bucks.
- 75.
- What?
- When did you only start
to care about money?
- Oh I don't know, I guess
probably when I started
having to pay rent,
my own car insurance, food.
- Cow.
- Just 'cause I have a job
doesn't mean I don't still love you guys.
I want to hang out.
I'm sorry I couldn't be there, dude.
Ghoul Catcher for life.
- For life?
- For life, come on.
Let's get some pizza.
I got the cheesy bread.
- Yes!
- Get some pizza.
- Ah, pizza.
- Hey guys.
Long time no see.
- I didn't mean to do that, I didn't.
I just didn't.
- That's all right, I'll clean it up.
Why don't you guys go get some food?
- I can probably fix.
- No, it's really fine.
- Dude, what is she doing here?
- Mackenzie?
- Yeah.
- She lives here.
- Since when?
- Dave you've been to my
apartment several times.
There's no way you didn't know that.
- Yeah, I thought she was
like your side squeeze,
like the side meal.
- Nope, I would never say that.
- That's what Franklin told me.
- Nope.
- You gotta dump that, okay?
She's gonna break up the Ghoul Catchers.
- What?
- You barely show up as it is
and now she's moving in.
- Dave, Mackenzie's lived
her for over a year.
- Really?
- Yes.
- Okay, so what dude?
She's gonna yoga yourself
into the Ghoul Catchers.
- What does that even mean?
- That means that her
hands are on our loins.
They're on your loins
and then they're gonna be on my loins
and then Franklin's next
and her hands are all over his loins.
- That's disgusting.
- Just think about
- You guys got some pepperoni?
- So you boys went out on
a hunt, is that the term?
You guys went out on a hunt today?
- Yeah, we almost caught one.
- A ghost, really?
- No, no, no, no, no, a ghoul actually.
- Oh, I didn't know there was a difference
between a ghost and a ghoul.
Is there a difference?
- Yeah, right, there's a difference.
- Well, you see it's
kind of like pornography,
like you know it when you see it
and I see a lot of it.
- Okay, I can't even believe
that you guys are having
this conversation right now.
Of course there's a big difference
between a ghost and a ghoul.
Okay Mackenzie so.
- Well what is it?
- Tim, explain it please.
- Yeah Tim, explain it.
- Yeah Tim, explain it.
- Tim, I would also like you
to explain it.
- I don't know the difference
either.
I know we're the Ghoul Catchers.
I don't even,
I thought they were the same.
- What?
- TJ, take it.
- No, I thought they were the same too.
- Okay, Franklin, shut up.
- Okay, I'll hold it.
- Yeah good.
Ghosts, it's kind of simple,
it's a ghost, you can look,
you can see right through 'em
but ghouls, they float.
When they come together--
- They don't float.
- Thank you, Franklin, but shut up please.
Ghosts will, they'll linger,
they linger a lot and they--
- I actually don't believe in ghosts
but I am super terrified of confrontation.
My therapist says that I
need to confront my issues
but I totally disagree.
- So this in simplest forms
is the difference between
a ghost and a ghoul.
Clear?
- Crystal.
- That whole thing doesn't make any sense.
- Yeah, I'm not following.
- Anyway, what did you guys encounter
on your call before?
- Oh, it was just a broken ice machine.
It was nuts.
- So Dave texted Tim
to meet at this playground in
15 minutes, emergency meeting.
So I figured I'd tag along.
That was 54 minutes ago.
- It is freezing out here.
Why don't we ever meet at someone's house?
- Yeah, also why are we
still meeting at playgrounds?
We're in our late 20's,
kind of a bad look, I think.
- You know, I agree with Tim.
I mean this playground's
really not up to par.
The one off Maple's so much better.
This one doesn't even have a slide.
- Franklin, there's two
slides right over there.
- What?
Oh my God.
- Hey guys, sorry, sorry.
I got held up.
- Making a peanut butter and jelly?
- Dude, what is she doing here?
- This is like our only day off together.
So we wanted to hang out.
- Well look, little miss lady,
this is private information, okay?
So what I say at the playground,
stays at the playground.
- What about the camera crew?
- Yeah, what I say here stays here
and to the people at home on Netflix.
Yes, Franklin?
- Can I go to the bathroom?
- Can it wait?
- Yeah.
- Good.
So listen, let's just get
down to bass task, okay?
- Brass tax.
- The reason why I called
this emergency meeting
'cause Craig has to hand his
project in about two days
and we haven't even encountered one ghost
but tonight, we're gonna
prove to them, to the world
that ghosts exist.
- How?
- Oh, how are we gonna do that Dave?
- I'm very happy you asked it because
let me explain this to you,
tonight we're going to the
abandoned psychiatric center.
- Oh.
- No.
- No, no.
- We're not doing that.
- Yes.
- What?
- What?
- Dave, that place is like
super dangerous and sketchy.
- No, no, no, no,
'cause it's like in a
dangerously haunted way.
- Oh.
- No, no, but we're not
actually going there
because it's like the
scariest place imaginable.
- Exactly.
So if there's ever a place
to see a ghost or ghoul
it's there.
We don't even have to
stay there all night.
We just go there till we see something
and then we catch it
and then boom, we just go home.
- No, see, actually
this works out perfectly
because my mom's going on a date tonight
and she actually wants me out of the house
in case they have sex.
- She actually said that to you?
- No, she left a note on the fridge.
- That is, what?
- That's a little weird, Franklin.
- Very weird.
- What?
- Weird.
- No, it's not.
No look, my mom, right,
I'm her little baby robin
and she tells me everything
that's happening in the nest.
- That's even weirder.
- Okay, sorry that your mom's dead, TJ.
- What the?
- Guys, guys, relax,
TJ, to be honest, no one really
cares about your dead mom,
unless you could conjure her up.
Wait, can you conjure?
It's conjure, is it ponder,
is it ponder her up?
Could you ponder her up tonight?
'Cause that'd be super helpful.
Is he crying?
All right.
All right guys, look, eight o'clock, okay,
p.m., that's p.m., parking
lot, psychiatric center,
meet me there.
It'll be a great meeting.
- Dave!
Yeah, this is a bad idea.
I don't think Dave fully understands
that it's an abandoned psychiatric center.
So going there you're gonna be arrested.
But that's my group of
friends that I chose
so I guess in a lot of ways it's my fault.
- Hey Tim, are you doing an interview?
- Yeah buddy.
- Oh cool.
Hey can I do an interview?
- Um, no--
- I love doing interviews.
I never know what to say though.
Ah!
- Tonight's the night.
We're spending the night
at the abandoned psychiatric center.
I was nervous at first but
it can actually be a little fun.
I had a big meal before this,
so I wouldn't eat any of the
snacks I brought with me.
I wanted to try something new
so I went with Indian food.
Never had it before.
It was this immaculate buffet.
I mean, the tastes, out of this world.
I have a full belly
and I am ready to go.
- He's testing me, boy,
he's really testing me.
- Who's testing you?
- Have any of you guys heard from Tim?
- No, but who's testing you?
- I didn't bring my phone.
- What?
What do you mean you
didn't bring your phone?
- No one told me to bring my phone,
so I didn't bring it with me.
- It's 2018,
what do you just leave your
house without your phone?
- People just bring
their phones everywhere
and leave them in their
pockets all the time?
- Yes!
- Dave, I really need to know
who it is, who's testing you?
- Wait.
- They are?
And people just have their
phones on at all times?
- Is Tim testing you?
Have either of you eaten
at Jasper's Halal Buffet?
- Isn't that that place
that got shut down?
- Oh yeah, I saw that on TV.
That place was like full
of feces or something.
- Wait, what kind of feces?
You know what, no, I don't
want to know, never mind.
I don't want to know.
- No yeah, that place,
a lot of people got sick, right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah TJ, do not eat there.
- Of course not, I'm not gonna eat there,
I heard all about it.
- Possums, that's what
it was, possum feces.
- You alright, you nervous for tonight?
- No, I just find possums gross.
- Old possums.
- I ate so much food.
I ate so much food.
And the wait staff,
they just watched,
they just kept bringing
plates over and serv--
- Well it's about GD time.
- What, you said get here at eight.
- Yeah, Tim, and all right it's 8:01.
What's she doing here?
- You said I can come if
I convinced him to come.
- Okay, I did.
I bet you had to use some
kind of weird sex weapon
to get him here, yeah,
to get him here, huh?
- Okay, everyone stop now.
- Yeah, my bad.
Franklin, knock it off.
Did you at least bring the beer?
- We were told to bring batteries.
- I also brought batteries.
- Yeah I have a trunk full of batteries
that we should probably take out.
I feel it's a safety hazard.
- Franklin, what did you tell them?
- I texted everyone, Dave
says bring batteries,
just like you told me to.
- No, I told you that I
would bring the batteries.
- Well, there was no way of me knowing,
I don't have my phone.
- Oh my, you I know what, fine, it's fine.
You I know what I have
enough gear for everybody
so whatever.
- Sweet, let's do this.
- No, you're not wearing that.
- Okay.
- I printed up a map.
So this is what I was thinking,
we'd go over to the west hallway.
A lot of people end up dying there
so it's a necessary stop and then
after that we'll go to the cafeteria.
That place is crawling with ghouls.
And then yeah, there's a morgue after that
but I feel like we just
skip it and then---
- Hold on, did you say that
you want to skip the morgue?
- Yeah, what?
- Wouldn't that be like the one place
that we'd want to go to
if we're looking for ghosts?
- I'm pretty sure the cafeteria
is the right place to go.
- Okay.
- Is there possibly a
men's room on that map
that we could stop, no
particular reason, I just...
- Anybody pick up any readings out here?
I haven't checked my EMF in awhile but--
- I'm not picking up anything.
- No?
- Well, I wouldn't know,
no one ever taught me
how to use this thing.
- Oh, hold on, guys, sorry,
that is a digital EMF reader.
- Yeah, it measures
electromagnetic fields that the,
that the ghosts they travel
to and from our world
through the yeah, like picture a portal.
- Well how do you know
that ghosts travel through
electromagnetic fields anyway?
I mean it's infinite possibilities.
- I don't know.
Dave, do you have an answer for this?
- Because uh...
Because they have to.
- Great.
- What?
- Why do they have to?
- Because Franklin, it's
their molecular nomenclature.
Okay, when it correlates
with the lymph nodes,
honestly, I don't have time to
explain it to you, all right?
I learned that stuff when I was like five
so keep up.
I don't have, I can't
focus on ghoul catching
and leading the team
and having to worry about
keeping you up to speed, okay?
Jesus, Chris, man, you freaking idiot.
- Was that your stomach?
- No.
No, no.
- It sounded like,
are you sure, are you okay?
- Just stop talking about it.
Just stop talking about
it, I think it was a ghost.
The sounds, it travels pretty far.
That could've been an
electromagnetic fields.
Is nobody beeping?
- I'm just getting a pretty distinct smell
of cat pee over here.
Are you guys getting that?
- Yeah, it's gross.
- Pretty gross.
- Pretty potent.
- Dave, what do you say we get the group
inside one of these buildings here?
- Yeah, actually that's a
really smart idea, buddy.
How 'bout me and you, we split off and--
- I was thinking we'd probably go
inside a building together,
all of us.
- Well I just thought we'd
cover a lot more ground
if it was just me and you
and them three just kind of go off
and we go in the morgue,
since you won't shut up about it.
- I think we're covering ground
at a pretty good rate so--
- We can split up.
- Yeah see, there you go, Mackenzie.
She's growing on me.
- Are you sure you're
okay with splitting up?
- Yeah, it's fine.
It'll get me a chance to
get to know TJ and Franklin
a little better.
Tim and Dave have a lot to unpack.
They could use some time without
a girlfriend being around.
Plus, you know, I don't think
Dave likes me very much.
- I hate Mackenzie.
She's the human equivalent to a shart
and quite frankly, she
makes me sad to look at.
You okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm fine.
- Oh yeah.
Dude, we found the morgue.
This is brilliant.
It was such a good idea.
Do you know how many
bodies came through here?
- I couldn't even guess.
- Thousands.
- What a wild, okay.
- Hello, are there any spirits in here?
I don't want to startle anyone.
We're shooting a documentary
and we just need a quick
glimpse of a ghost.
- Dave, I think they might come out
if you tell them more about
the documentary, explain it.
- Yeah, so I'm Dave and this is Tim,
he's my best friend in
the whole wide world
and we're shooting just
a quick documentary
and we could just use maybe
one quick sight or interview--
- Also, if you could,
if you could come out
and sign some releases--
- Oh, that's perfect.
I don't have the pens.
- Oh, you don't have a pen?
Dave, I'm kidding.
- Will you just take it seriously?
- That's weird.
- What?
- I'm not picking up
anything on my EMF tracker
but there's the distinct
smell of sulfur in this area.
Teej, do you smell that?
- I don't think so, no.
- What does a sulfur smell mean?
- It means there's definitely
a ghost in this area.
Come on, let's check it out.
Oh my gosh.
Are you picking up
anything on your reader?
- No, oh my God, that's awful.
- It's not that bad.
- No, that is bad.
Wow, that is definitely sulfur.
Oh my gosh.
There could be a ghost right on top of us.
Hey, make sure you're getting this.
- Oh God, oh sweet Lord in heaven.
I'm fine.
- That's the
worst thing I've ever smelt.
- Wow, it's almost like
it's getting more powerful.
Oh God, that is really bad down here.
It's like, it must be a child.
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm getting
a little bit light headed.
Teej, are you not picking up anything?
- No, no, no, nothing, nothing.
We should probably go check another room.
- When we're with a ghost
right here right now, no way, no way.
We're not giving this up, okay.
We are getting great footage.
Keep going.
Is anybody here with us?
- Still not picking anything up out there.
I feel like there's something
definitely in the room with us.
Do you feel it, Tim?
- Nope, not really.
- Did you hear that?
- What?
I didn't hear anything.
- Dude, play it up for the cameras.
They'll just edit it in post.
- Dave, this is so stupid.
- What's stupid?
- This, ghost hunting.
- Ghoul hunting.
- Okay, yeah, whatever,
we're wasting our Saturday night
inside a psychiatric center.
- You don't have to be here.
- I don't have to be here?
You call me every week harassing
me to go on a ghoul hunt.
- Harassing you?
You used to love this, okay?
Yeah, until Mackenzie came along.
- Dave, I used to love
this when we were 12.
I didn't think we'd be doing it
for another 15 years.
And that's another thing,
why don't you like Mackenzie?
She tries so hard to get you to like her
and all you do, you're a jerk to her.
- I don't dislike Mackenzie, okay?
I just don't like when
she comes in between
our ghoul hunting.
- Mackenzie's not coming in
between our ghoul hunting,
it's me.
- What?
- We're 27 years old
and all you care about is
going to places like this
to ghost hunt.
Grow up.
- Look, I know that we've
been doing this for 15 years,
I just kind of wish it was Mackenzie
who was the one that stopped
you from hanging out with me.
- I know.
- I don't even know if I
believe in ghosts or anything.
- Dave.
- I know, every time I
go into a room and I say
if something's in the rooms,
it's just like cavities.
- Dave.
- I don't know how many cavities
a normal 27-year-old has--
- Dave stop, look behind you!
- I now Franklin's
probably behind me but--
- No, no, Dave, look behind you,
there's a ghost.
- What was that?
- I don't know,
it sounded like a bunch of screams
coming from another room
although there was one at the end
that sounded pretty close to us.
- No, no, I'm pretty sure that was
still pretty far away.
- Oh God, the sulfur smell is back.
- Whew, this ghost is right on our trail.
- It smells so bad.
It's like decomposing corpses.
- I know right, it's so bad
but anyway, back to those screams,
it sounded like it came
from the other side of the
psych center like the morgue.
- That's where Tim and Dave are.
We have to go check on them.
- Oh damn, we're gonna
miss out on this ghost.
- No, no, we're not.
I'll stay behind,
I'll investigate more here.
- Are you sure?
Are you gonna be okay on your own?
Yeah, I'll be
I'll be fine, I'll be fine.
- Okay, my little soldier.
- Franklin, come on.
- I'll catch up with you guys.
Oh dear God, oh dear God.
- That was insane.
- Yeah I know, right?
- Hey, what was the deal with the gun?
- Pretty awesome, right?
Finally made America great again.
- No, no, where did you
even get a gun from, Dave?
- Come to think of it,
I don't even remember.
- That is so upsetting.
- I know, right?
Man, my memory is shot these days.
- It's a ghost.
Wouldn't the bullets just
go straight through it?
- I don't know, they have ears.
They heard it,
they could probably run away or something,
scare 'em off.
I went into mama bear mode.
I thought you'd be proud.
I was trying to protect you.
- Okay, thank you.
We should call Mackenzie.
- Yeah, call Mackenzie.
- Wait, duh, I'm holding onto her phone.
She doesn't have pockets.
- Feminism.
- I'll call TJ.
- Feminism.
- That doesn't even apply.
Do you know?
- It's Hilary, she's the reason for it.
- TJ.
- Hey, buddy.
- Are you guys all right?
- Me?
I'm fine, just doing some
solo investigation, you know?
- Wait, are you not with
Franklin and Mackenzie?
- Nope, they went to investigate
the girlish screams from the morgue.
- How long ago did they
leave, do you know?
- Yeah, that's crazy.
Anyway, I really have to go.
I'm pretty sure something's
about to happen.
Oh my God, not again.
- TJ, no, don't hang up.
TJ, TJ?
- Did he see another ghost?
- No, something's going on there though
but Franklin and Mackenzie
are headed this way.
They're going to the morgue.
- All right, sweet, they'll see the ghost.
- No, we gotta go in there and save them.
- This time, I'll hit the ghost.
- Dave, stop bringing
guns with you everywhere.
- Okay fine, let's go.
- You can't leave the gun there.
- Ghosts can't pick up guns.
- A kid could find it.
- Okay so what?
It's barely loaded at this point.
- Dave, take the gun.
- All right, fine.
- Dave.
- I'm coming.
- I think the sound came from this way.
Are you getting any readings?
- No, I put my EMF away, it died.
- Don't we have like an
abundance of batteries?
- No, I don't think so.
Oh God, okay, do you remember the,
what's the, do you
remember those white bears?
Do you remember what their name is?
- Mmhmm, yeah, polar bears.
- No, no, no, the white
ones, Santa's friends.
- Yeah, polar bears.
- No, I don't, no, they're like,
on the Coca-Cola commercials,
the Klondike ones.
- It's definitely polar bears.
- No.
- Yes.
- No, it's, that's not even,
oh, they're like on the polar ice caps.
God, this is gonna kill me,
oh it's gonna eat me alive.
Anyway, you know which ones
I'm talking about, right?
- I do, Franklin, I do.
- I think Tim's girlfriend
might have some sort of crush on me.
I never really thought
of Mackenzie in that way.
I mean Tim's one of my best friends.
I don't know,
I don't know if I can see me
and Mackenzie being a thing.
- Tim?
- Dave?
- Are you guys in here?
- Yeah, we heard someone scream.
We didn't know if maybe you
saw a ghost or something.
- Oh God, what if
something happened to Tim?
Do you think they're okay?
- No, no, you know what, I'm sorry,
either way, it'd be really
disrespectful to Tim
if you and me, you know,
I couldn't do that to Tim, I'm sorry.
- What?
- Oh thank God.
What are you still doing here?
How much of that did you see,
are you still recording?
Where is this gonna fit into the story?
You sicko
Oh God.
Why haven't you sent for help yet?
Oh, I'm clearly not well.
Oh sweet, Jesus.
Oh God.
- I'm just saying, think about it,
if Mackenzie were to die,
you'd have like a really cool back story.
- What?
- Yeah, like that show Supernatural,
their mom died,
so they just went around
hunting supernatural things.
That would be like you
but with your girlfriend.
That's a really cool backstory.
I kind of wish I had a backstory.
What if Mackenzie was my girlfriend
and she got murdered by
a ghost serial killer
but we just didn't know that
she was two-timing both of us?
We could be like ghost eskimo,
ghostkimo bros
- Dave, Dave,
you gotta stop.
- New name of the show.
- You're driving me crazy
and they're right over here.
- Oh shit.
- Dave, Dave.
- Hi, thank God,
yeah, we're fine.
Are you guys okay?
We heard screaming, so
we rushed over here.
- Well, Dave and I saw a ghost.
- Well, it was a ghoul, actually
but besides the point dude
because we actually saw one.
- Did you shoot it?
- I missed.
- It's okay.
- Franklin, you knew Dave had
a gun on him the entire time?
- Dave, Dave is always packing heat.
Hey, didn't I give you that gun?
- Dude, that's where I,
I couldn't remember where I found it
but you gave it to me,
that's where it was.
- You guys are idiots.
- Um idiots who are always
ready to fight terrorism
at a moment's notice.
What the?
- Did you have that on
you the entire time?
- I don't remember.
Let's go kill some ghosts.
- No, he brought up a good point before.
The bullets, they just
go right through 'em.
- Oh, damn it.
- Yeah.
- Oh that's a good point.
- I know.
- Oh, well I guess there's no
need for this anymore, huh?
- Why are you both so stupid?
You can't just throw a gun down.
- Um, Tim, ghouls can't pick up guns.
- Dude, don't even try,
I explained this like
a hundred times before.
- No, you idiots, a kid could find it
plus, your fingerprints are all over it.
- Whoa.
- Oh my God, Mackenzie,
right now, seriously,
right in front of Tim?
- What?
- What?
- Look Tim, I didn't want
to have to do this but
your girlfriend's been
hitting on me all night.
I'm pretty sure she even
tried to kiss me at one point.
What the are you saying?
We've had one conversation the whole night
and it was about the fact
that you couldn't remember the name
of the white bears.
- Wait, polar bears?
- I said that.
- That's it, polar bears.
Oh my gosh.
- Tim, Tim, no, I said
that, no, I said that.
- Bolar bears, bolar bears.
- I told him that when you were talking
about the Klondike bar thing,
the Coca-Cola thing.
- Wait guys, shut up, shut up.
Do you feel that?
My EMF's going crazy.
Craig, Craig, Craig, I think we're good,
I think we outran it.
I think we're good.
- I can't believe we just saw that.
Oh my God.
- Dude, we proved that ghosts exist.
- We did, we did.
- Wait, TJ.
- Oh no.
- Where'd you guys see him?
- Last we saw him was in
that west hallway, I think.
- Yeah, did he text anyone?
I don't have my phone.
- We gotta go back.
- Wait, he texted me.
"Hey guys, sorry I had to go
home early, family emergency."
- Dude, it's two a.m.
Who has a family emergency at two a.m.?
- Yeah, what did his mom die again?
- Dude, nice.
- No, what is wrong with you?
- Well, at least we know that TJ's safe.
Can we go home now?
This place is creeping me out.
- Yeah, same.
- Let's get out of here.
Pizza on Tim?
- My name's Randy, Randy Newman.
No relation to the,
I'm a security guard here
at the Kings Guard Psychiatric Center.
They actually closed down this
psychiatric center in 1979
due to budget cuts by the state.
My job isn't too crazy,
keep the place clean,
make sure that no homeless
people setting up shop,
teenagers causing trouble.
Once in awhile, you get a
dog thinks he owns the place,
all over it.
We have an epidemic facing
the psychiatric center.
It's the war on littering.
Littering is the gateway
drug to vandalism.
Graffiti, paint, nothing
too detrimental, you know?
That door's not supposed to be open.
Just stay here for a second,
let me go check it out.
This door should be oh my God, oh my God.
Oh God, someone took a in here.
Oh my Lord.
Son of a.
Oh, my God, it smells so bad.
Did you guys know about this?
You sons of, you get back here.
Did you take a in here?
How could you do this to me?
There is everywhere,
all over my shoes, everywhere.
I knew you weren't doing a documentary
on security guards named Randy.
- All right, sorry
about that, Mr. Fellows.
It's been kind of a
crazy night for us here
as you can probably imagine.
I'm Detective West, by the way.
- Dave.
- Dave, I know that you probably
went through your story
already with an officer
but I'm gonna need you to tell it to me.
- I've been here for like four hours.
- Dave, there's a report of a dead body
and you're the only person
who knows where it is.
If you walk away right now,
that doesn't look good.
- All right, fine.
But if I'm gonna do
this story any justice,
I'm gonna start at the end
and work back to the middle,
definitely a prologue, end credit scene.
- What?
Why would you do that?
Just start from the beginning.
- Well, I thought you would want
like a more engaging narrative.
- No, don't, no, don't dress up your story
using some cheap narrative tool
that writers use.
- So I'll just start from the beginning.
- From the beginning.
- It was a pretty normal day, all in all.
It was the day after my
friend Franklin's funeral.
We were meeting at this
lady lawyer's office,
which I'm fine with, by the way.
So this lady is a real lawyer?
- Yes.
- Hmm.
- She?
- What?
- Nothing.
- Wow.
- Happy you made it.
I didn't know if you were gonna come.
- Yeah, yeah, me either.
What's up with Craig being here?
- They're doing the where
are they now part of the docu
so they tagged along.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait.
- What?
- Are you telling me this camera crew
was following you around the whole time?
- Yes.
- Why can't you just give me that footage?
Then I can see what happened.
- I can
but I freaking tell the story
so much better than Craig.
Okay, that hack job completely
butchered the freaking edit.
- What are you doing?
- What?
- Don't look in the camera.
You just did it again.
- No, I didn't.
- Stop doing it.
- You're just like Craig.
- Who is Craig?
- Do you want me to keep going or no?
- Fine.
- Kind of weird that they started filming
a where are they know
right as Franklin...
- Died?
Franklin's dead, TJ.
- Yeah, anyway, how are
you guys holding up?
- Hanging in there.
- It was just so sudden.
- I never actually,
I never heard how Franklin passed away.
Do you guys know?
- He was actually going to,
he was heading to--
Ah.
- What's that?
- Mackenzie's here.
Don't look now, she hasn't seen you yet.
Just come in here, get in here.
- This isn't gonna work.
Please stop.
I don't need your help.
I'm fine, thank you, thank
you, thank you, thank you.
- Dave, TJ, Tim, how are you?
- I'm well.
How are you?
- Fine, thanks, hanging in there.
- So soon after we discovered
that ghosts existed
at the psychiatric center,
we got a development
deal from Travel Channel
to turn Ghoul Catchers into a TV show.
Anyway, two weeks into
filming the first season,
Tim started getting suspicious
that Mackenzie was cheating on him.
We all thought nothing of it.
We were like, Tim, you're crazy.
But after one long night of shooting,
Tim walked back to his trailer,
thought he heard something,
swung open the door and what did he see?
Mackenzie just going to town on some dude.
And who was that dude, you ask?
None other than Franklin Geller.
Whew, Tim quit the show,
Mackenzie and Franklin started dating,
it was a whole big thing.
We haven't seen Tim since.
So wow, you missed a lot.
- Thank you so much
for taking the time to come in today.
- Thank you
for everything that you go through.
- Okay.
I'm really--
- I almost voted for Hilary.
- Please stop.
Stop.
- I'm sorry for the loss of your friend.
I'm sure that was really hard for you guys
and I know you were all very close.
- Tim wasn't.
Well, towards the end, anyway but,
that's all in the past
though, right buddy?
- Yeah.
- Infidelity.
- Dave.
- Bitch.
- Okay, so in the event of his death,
Franklin Geller has made
a last will and testament.
Yeah?
- Is that when we get his stuff?
- Yeah.
All right, so I'm just
gonna show you guys this
'cause I got to get you out of here.
All right, here we go.
- Hi guys.
If you're watching this, I'm dead.
I know, don't freak out,
it was no one's fault,
unless I was murdered,
in which case it was
definitely someone's fault.
And if I was murdered,
Dave, I want you to
track whoever they are,
wherever they are,
find them and bring
them to justice please.
Start in St. Louis, I can't say why.
Imagine if I was murdered.
Oh my God, that'd be horrible.
Whoa, I really hope I don't get murdered.
Sorry, I digest.
Anyway, there are a few things
that I'd like to ask all of you
and there's also a few valuables
which I would like to bequeath upon you.
First things first,
please do not tell my mom I'm dead.
She has no idea and I think
she'll really freak out.
Also, if we're going with
the I was murdered thing,
definitely investigate her.
She's been like super unhinged
ever since me and Mackenzie
moved in together.
Speaking of Mackenzie,
my first message.
Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim,
Tin, Tin, Tin, Tin,
Tim, Tim, Tim, Tin, Tin, Tin.
- Is he saying Tin or Tim?
- You know, I never really
got a chance to tell you but
I'm sorry.
I truly fudged up big time.
This has been eating away
at me for a long time now
and I think it's just time
I give it to you straight
and tell you the honest truth and
that is that I borrowed your
neon green phone charger
that one time I slept over your house
and I never gave it back.
I feel like I really betrayed your trust
and I just hope that you can forgive me.
- Am I upset about the phone charger?
Not too much.
Although I did plan a
good chunk of my life
around that phone charger,
supported that phone
charger financially for
well over a year.
I even bought that phone charger
this engagement ring
which I'll probably never
get a chance to use now
'cause of my abandonment issues.
- Next, Mackenzie,
my little butterball,
my Italian sex pirate,
my little chicken parmesan
with a little basil on top,
sans the cheese,
I will never forget our first kiss.
Tim's car, that's right
he went into the 7-Eleven
to get you a water bottle
and we just locked lips
like a couple of horny high schoolers.
Oh man, we were probably only kissing
for like a minute or two but
it felt like were playing
tongue hockey for hours.
Don't worry, I won't tell Tim.
- The both of you.
- I pass onto you
my Beanie Baby collection.
You know how much that
means to me and I want,
I want you to keep it alive for me,
for us, my honey, my sweet pea,
my little chicken parmesan.
I'm sorry.
Moving right along, Dave,
my best friend, Dave.
Okay, Dave, you're my best friend
in the entire world.
What a ride it has been.
- That's not true.
- My man, truly.
Look, if I'm being honest,
I always thought you'd be the first to go.
You lived fast and you took chances.
I love that about you.
Here I am dead as a doornail.
Probably murdered.
Anyway, Dave, I'm giving you
my most valuable item, my poems.
Most of you probably don't
know this about me but uh
I have a bit of a green thumb,
I write poetry.
And it's something I'm really proud of.
Now Dave, since I'm dead,
these poems are going
to be worth a lot more
than when I was alive.
I stole a few from Shel Silverstein
but this probably should
still be the ticket.
Next, TJ, Teej,
oh TJ, I know we've been
buds for a really long time
but I never feel like we really connected.
So I couldn't really think
of anything sentimental to give you,
plus which, I already
gave Dave all my poems,
all 621 of 'em,
so I guess I'll just give you
the remaining balance on
any of my bank accounts.
- What?
- Which is about $284,000, sorry.
Also, while I'm in heaven,
I'm definitely gonna say hi to your mom,
unless your mom's in hell.
Oh wow, you know what,
she probably is in hell,
she definitely is in hell.
You don't get to go to heaven
for killing yourself so.
Guys, what to say, I don't know,
thank you for everything.
I've had a really incredible
time being your friend.
Thank you for making me feel
like I'm a part of something.
You guys have given me the
best memories of my life.
I'm so grateful.
I'll be looking down
at you from Ghoul City,
Ghoul Catchers for life.
I love you guys.
Take care of my son.
Bye.
All right, I think we got it.
Did I mention Tim's char--
- Wow, that must've been really tough
losing a best friend.
- Yeah, I can't even imagine that.
- I'm sorry, maybe I missed it,
how did your friend die?
- Who?
- Frank.
- Franklin.
- Franklin.
- Oh, no he's not really dead.
- What?
- No, he faked his death.
- You faked your friend's death?
- Yeah, so it's a good
plot twist, mic drop.
- Why would you do that?
- I don't know.
Tim wasn't really talking to any of us
after the whole Mackenzie situation.
So we just thought that
fake Franklin's death,
Tim gets sad,
we're best friends again, boom.
- You people are--
- What do you mean, you people?
- I meant nothing.
Just tell me what happened
after you left the
lawyer's office, please.
- Right after we dug up Franklin's body,
we just made a Z-line
straight to Tim's house.
- Oh my God.
- Hey Tim.
Tim, wake up.
Tim, Tim, hey buddy.
- Dave, what are you doing in my house?
- Not just Dave, hi Tim.
Wait, no, don't go back to sleep,
we have a surprise for you.
- Please get out of my house.
Did you guys bring the whole camera crew?
- No, we have a surprise for you.
- What?
- Hi Tim.
I know.
- Dave.
Why's Franklin alive?
- It's awesome, isn't it?
- What's happening?
- We faked my death.
- Why?
- Well because you would
know what it's like
to lose Franklin forever
and you would cherish his friendship,
I mean all of our friendships.
- Yeah, and now you're not
mad at Franklin anymore.
- You thought by faking Franklin's death
somehow I would be less mad?
- Well yeah, I mean it worked, right?
- No, it didn't work.
Now I hate all of you, all of you
and Franklin, I hate you even more.
- Even more, what did I do?
- I'm gonna kill you, I'm gonna kill you.
Get out, get out, get out of my house.
Get the out.
- Hey Tim, lower your voice,
it's very early.
Your parents are probably
trying to sleep, asshole.
- Get out!
- Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
You could give me a million guesses,
I would never have thought
he would react like that.
- Yeah that was,
that did not go well.
- Tim was mad,
like really, really, really mad.
He would not stop yelling.
- Yeah, what the hell was that about?
- Well, he still handled
it better than Mackenzie.
- Oh my God.
Oh my God.
- So what are we gonna do guys?
It's like back at square one.
Tim hates Franklin again
- And us.
- And us.
I mean we're never gonna get Tim back now.
I mean damn it, Franklin,
why did you have to
smash Mackenzie so well?
- Wait, I have an idea.
- Do you want to kill Mackenzie too?
Because I am so down.
- No, Dave listen,
you and Tim were always best
friends growing up, right?
- Yeah, so?
- So maybe instead of faking my death
to get us all back together,
we should've faked your death instead.
- Franklin, that is a great idea.
- Oh no.
You didn't?
- Yeah.
- Damn it, how do you guys
keep getting into my house?
- Oh that's not important.
- Tim, we have some news for you.
- What?
- You might want to sit down for this.
- No thanks.
- Tim, Dave passed away.
- No, no, we're
not doing that again.
- No, no, no, we're
being serious this time.
- Yeah, he made a video will.
I watched it earlier.
There's some really
powerful stuff on this.
- He made a will, really?
How did Dave die?
- Lawn mower.
- Ice fishing.
- He was using a lawn mower
while he was ice fishing
and it exploded everywhere.
- You guys are idiots.
Dave, Dave you can come out now.
Dave, come on, I know you're here.
I'm not mad anymore.
- Really?
- No, of course I'm still mad.
Now will you guys stop
faking each other's deaths
and get out of my house?
- Did you guys show him the video?
- We tried.
- He wouldn't watch it.
- What?
I dropped like eight grand on that thing.
- Dave, this has to stop.
- Will you at least just
hear me out for a second?
- Fine, one second.
- All right, well, I guess,
the reason why we're doing
all these crazy schemes
and faking our deaths is
I don't know man, the Ghoul Catchers
kind of sucks without you.
- Yeah, we did two seasons after you left
but I don't know,
it just felt like we
were missing something.
- Yeah, the network said
we were missing diversity,
whatever that means,
but I think what we're really missing
is all the ghoul catchers.
- Yeah, and if we don't
have all the ghoul catchers,
we all agreed we're not doing shoes.
- We're not doing show, the show.
- What?
Tim, come on, we're not doing the show?
- I don't know, guys.
- Look, Tim, I don't
have to go this route but
do it for Dave, he's dead.
- No no, no, we're passed that.
- Oh yeah, sorry.
- You should watch,
I'm just gonna leave this here.
- I mean guys I left for a reason.
- Yeah and I know
and Franklin's really sorry.
- Yes, Tim, I am so sorry
about the phone charger.
I betrayed you on that--
- See, this is what I'm talking about.
He doesn't even know.
He doesn't even know.
- Mackenzie.
- Mackenzie.
- Oh, oh that,
ah okay right,
Tim, Tin, Tin, Tin, Tin,
Tin, Tinny Tin, Tin, Tim, man,
I'm so sorry about the
whole Mackenzie thing,
like truly, I really betrayed you
and what I did was immature and selfish
and I should not have done it,
taking Mackenzie from you
that was really below the belt.
I'm sorry, truly.
And look, if it's any consolation,
me and Mackenzie are no longer together.
- Really?
- Yeah, yep, she broke up with me
'cause of the whole faking my death thing
and then I pretended to be a zombie
and she went into an elliptical seizure
and then now she's in the hospital.
It's kind of this whole big thing.
Don't worry about it, it's fine.
- It's on the--
- Yeah, it's on that.
You should watch it.
- You should watch it.
It's on there.
- Please Tim.
- Look, I don't want
to have to say this but
we could really use the
money if you came back.
Yeah, so if you don't pay your taxes,
the IRS comes after you.
So I just tried to smooth things over
and I sent a whole bunch
of cash in the mail
but I labeled it to the IRF,
and that stands for the
Iraqi Revolutionary Fund.
Good news is that the ISIS wiped out,
they took care of them,
but Wolf Blitzer has
called them the super ISIS.
- Tim, would you please come back?
'Cause I really don't
want to not do the show.
- All right, fine.
- Wait really?
Yes!
- Yeah, I miss you guys.
I really do.
- Oh yes.
Hey Ghoul Catchers for life.
- For life.
- For life.
Woo!
- So that's it,
that's how the Ghoul Catchers
got their groove back.
- That's great.
I'm glad you got your friend back
but you didn't tell me
anything about the murder.
- I never said murder.
- So you just found a dead body?
- Not dead, at least not dead yet.
- What does that mean, not dead yet?
- Well see, right after we
got the Ghoul Catchers back,
surprise, surprise, Tim got angry again.
But this time it was at TJ.
So what do we do?
We only got one play in the book.
- You faked his death.
- We faked his death.
It was over like apple pie or something,
I don't really remember.
But we were just gonna do the
whole faking TJ's death again
so that Tim can get back to his senses
like we did the first and second time
but then Tim was just
still like really upset
about TJ eating the last apple pie slice.
TJ ate the last apple pie
slice, that's what happened.
TJ ate the last slice of apple pie,
so Tim got mad.
So TJ kills himself.
- What the hell is wrong with you people?
- Oh no, it gets much worse.
We were supposed to go dig him up today
but Franklin's way too weak
and I have artist's hands,
I don't have manual labor hands.
So actually detective--
- West.
- Detective West,
how would you feel if you
helped us unbury our friend?
- Your friend is underground right now.
- Yes.
- You know you don't
have to bury your friend
when they fake their own death, right?
- How you holding up, TJ?
- Not great.
I ate all of my snacks in the first day.
So that was kind of a bad start.
By day two,
I realized I was the one
who does all the digging.
So I was certain no one would save me
and I lost all of day three
because of the realization of day two.
So that was fun.
By the time day four rolled around,
I was kind of at peace with things.
So I was ready to go and
I was already buried,
the hard part was over.
- Dude, you were down
there for like five hours.
- No, no I was down in
pure darkness for days.
It wasn't five hours.
- No, no not at all.
- How about we just all agree
to stop faking each other's deaths?
No more.
- I think that phase.
- Hey, isn't it really great
that we're all back together again?
- Yeah,
I guess it is, buddy.
- Yeah, I'm getting pretty hungry,
anybody want some food?
- Oh yeah, I could use something.
- I am starving,
I haven't eaten in days.
So let's feast.
- Five, five hours.
- It was days.
- Five hours.
- Hey boo.
You're so cute.
Yeah no, no, no, no TJ's good,
we're good, we got him out.
Yeah, no, he's alive, he's fine.
Oh, Tim, no yeah, Tim's okay.
Hey sweetheart, no, no, no, no, no,
it's fine, it's fine,
he's really fine, you
don't have to be worried.
- Franklin.
- What's up?
- Are you serious?
Are you dating Mackenzie again?
- No, Tim, you know I'm past that.
You know I would never do that to you.
It's your mom.
Sorry sweetheart, yeah, just hold on.
- I told him that.
- I'm gonna kill him.
I'm gonna kill him.
- No, Franklin run!
- Yo got to bury him first.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, don't move.
Have you
seen my gun anywhere?
- What?
- This isn't good.
I hope I didn't leave it in the laundry.
- Where were you before this?
- I came straight here, I think.
No, I went to Ihop.
I left it on the table at Ihop.
They're not gonna believe me
that it happened a third time.
been happening since July.
I kind of get the feeling
that a spirit's trying
to get in touch with me.
Have you ever heard of that happening?
- Yeah, I mean, definitely.
I mean I think you'd be surprised
how many times we hear
something like that.
- Really?
- Oh yeah, you said it's
a distinct creaking noise?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, really loud.
- And it's just a creak,
it's not like a voice or a
piano?
- No definitely a creak.
- Now would you say that this creak
is more of like an eeh
or is it more like an ahh?
- Name's Dave Fellows.
I'm a PI, paranormal investigator.
I started my business, The Ghoul Catchers,
with my best friend when
we were 12 years old.
I've always had this
connection with ghouls.
I don't know, they seem
to let their guard down
when I'm around.
- Have I ever seen a ghost?
Technically, no
but Dave has seen a ton,
so I feel like I've seen one too.
Plus, I've seen a bunch of movies,
The Haunted Mansion,
and I've been on the ride in Disney World.
So there's quite a few ghosts there,
I don't know how they do that.
Casper, Hotel Transylvania,
the Godfather Part Three.
- Anything weird happen over here?
I'm getting a lot of strange readings.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- No.
Oh, yeah, I dropped a
gallon of milk over there.
- That's interesting.
- You really think
the spirit got that?
- Wouldn't surprise me one smidge.
- Hey Vera,
has your freezer been making ice lately?
- No.
- Ooh, that could be a ghost.
- Yeah dude, nice catch.
- I don't know, maybe but
it looks like it could be
the vent is jammed back there.
- Okay but let's not rule anything out.
- Hey, is this the sound
you've been hearing?
- Yeah, that's it.
- Yes.
- All right, mystery solved.
Okay, thanks Franklin.
- I mean it could've been a ghost
that broke the ice maker, right Dave?
- Are we done TJ?
How many times does this happen to us?
We get a call to
investigate a haunted house
and it turns out that
the ice machine's broken
or the floorboard's rickety.
- Hey, what about that one guy
who keeps emailing us about
checking out his butt,
saying his butt's haunted?
Like what does that even mean?
Am I the only one
that's like actually curious
about checking that thing out,
haunted butt crack?
- Doesn't even matter, dude, okay.
No one takes us seriously.
I just feel like we're
never gonna find a ghost
and if we don't find a ghost
what are we even doing here?
- It's Tim.
Hey.
- Oh hey, Tim.
- Hey, what's up?
- Which hospital are you staying at?
- What?
- Yeah, you must be in a hospital, right?
Why would you have missed today then?
- Dave, I'm not in the hospital.
What's today?
- What's today, Ghoul
Catchers, that's today.
We had a tip at Miss Hayes' house.
We literally waited
outside of your apartment
for about 45 minutes.
Franklin almost had to break in.
- Wait, what?
- Franklin says hi.
- Hi Tim.
- Dave, I was at work.
- What?
- Jesus, again?
I work nine to five Monday through Friday.
- Is that nine to five p.m.?
- Yeah, standard hours.
Did you still want to come
over for pizza tonight?
My treat.
- Yes, yes, yes.
- All right.
Dennis, get the cheesy bread.
- Oh Tim, Dave wants cheesy bread.
- No, not cheesy bread.
- And the crew, you guys good with pizza?
- What crew?
- No, okay, never mind, sorry, bye Tim.
Let's go, let's go, pizza.
- What's up, guys?
- Hey, Tim.
- What's with the camera crew?
- Oh that's my little
brother's friend, Craig.
They're just gonna follow
us around a little bit.
- Yeah, they're making a movie about us.
- Shut up, Franklin.
- My name's Tim Donnelly.
I started, well me and Dave
started the Ghoul Catchers
when we were 12.
Did Dave say that already?
- Yeah.
- Okay, anyway, I went off to college
and I got a full time job
so I can't really hang
out with the gang as much.
- You've been best friend
for what 19 years now?
- Correct.
- So you know when I say this,
if you ever pull a stunt
like you did today--
- Hold on, a stunt?
Dave, you mean my job.
- You sell solar panels.
- I'm preventing further
deterioration of our ozone layer.
I'm doing a good thing.
- That's such a myth.
- A myth.
- Yes.
- The ozone layer is a myth
but ghosts are real?
- It's ghouls and yes,
now you're getting it.
- You know, did you guys
even make any money today?
- Oh my God, you know that we
don't think on those terms.
- We made 90 bucks.
- 75.
- What?
- When did you only start
to care about money?
- Oh I don't know, I guess
probably when I started
having to pay rent,
my own car insurance, food.
- Cow.
- Just 'cause I have a job
doesn't mean I don't still love you guys.
I want to hang out.
I'm sorry I couldn't be there, dude.
Ghoul Catcher for life.
- For life?
- For life, come on.
Let's get some pizza.
I got the cheesy bread.
- Yes!
- Get some pizza.
- Ah, pizza.
- Hey guys.
Long time no see.
- I didn't mean to do that, I didn't.
I just didn't.
- That's all right, I'll clean it up.
Why don't you guys go get some food?
- I can probably fix.
- No, it's really fine.
- Dude, what is she doing here?
- Mackenzie?
- Yeah.
- She lives here.
- Since when?
- Dave you've been to my
apartment several times.
There's no way you didn't know that.
- Yeah, I thought she was
like your side squeeze,
like the side meal.
- Nope, I would never say that.
- That's what Franklin told me.
- Nope.
- You gotta dump that, okay?
She's gonna break up the Ghoul Catchers.
- What?
- You barely show up as it is
and now she's moving in.
- Dave, Mackenzie's lived
her for over a year.
- Really?
- Yes.
- Okay, so what dude?
She's gonna yoga yourself
into the Ghoul Catchers.
- What does that even mean?
- That means that her
hands are on our loins.
They're on your loins
and then they're gonna be on my loins
and then Franklin's next
and her hands are all over his loins.
- That's disgusting.
- Just think about
- You guys got some pepperoni?
- So you boys went out on
a hunt, is that the term?
You guys went out on a hunt today?
- Yeah, we almost caught one.
- A ghost, really?
- No, no, no, no, no, a ghoul actually.
- Oh, I didn't know there was a difference
between a ghost and a ghoul.
Is there a difference?
- Yeah, right, there's a difference.
- Well, you see it's
kind of like pornography,
like you know it when you see it
and I see a lot of it.
- Okay, I can't even believe
that you guys are having
this conversation right now.
Of course there's a big difference
between a ghost and a ghoul.
Okay Mackenzie so.
- Well what is it?
- Tim, explain it please.
- Yeah Tim, explain it.
- Yeah Tim, explain it.
- Tim, I would also like you
to explain it.
- I don't know the difference
either.
I know we're the Ghoul Catchers.
I don't even,
I thought they were the same.
- What?
- TJ, take it.
- No, I thought they were the same too.
- Okay, Franklin, shut up.
- Okay, I'll hold it.
- Yeah good.
Ghosts, it's kind of simple,
it's a ghost, you can look,
you can see right through 'em
but ghouls, they float.
When they come together--
- They don't float.
- Thank you, Franklin, but shut up please.
Ghosts will, they'll linger,
they linger a lot and they--
- I actually don't believe in ghosts
but I am super terrified of confrontation.
My therapist says that I
need to confront my issues
but I totally disagree.
- So this in simplest forms
is the difference between
a ghost and a ghoul.
Clear?
- Crystal.
- That whole thing doesn't make any sense.
- Yeah, I'm not following.
- Anyway, what did you guys encounter
on your call before?
- Oh, it was just a broken ice machine.
It was nuts.
- So Dave texted Tim
to meet at this playground in
15 minutes, emergency meeting.
So I figured I'd tag along.
That was 54 minutes ago.
- It is freezing out here.
Why don't we ever meet at someone's house?
- Yeah, also why are we
still meeting at playgrounds?
We're in our late 20's,
kind of a bad look, I think.
- You know, I agree with Tim.
I mean this playground's
really not up to par.
The one off Maple's so much better.
This one doesn't even have a slide.
- Franklin, there's two
slides right over there.
- What?
Oh my God.
- Hey guys, sorry, sorry.
I got held up.
- Making a peanut butter and jelly?
- Dude, what is she doing here?
- This is like our only day off together.
So we wanted to hang out.
- Well look, little miss lady,
this is private information, okay?
So what I say at the playground,
stays at the playground.
- What about the camera crew?
- Yeah, what I say here stays here
and to the people at home on Netflix.
Yes, Franklin?
- Can I go to the bathroom?
- Can it wait?
- Yeah.
- Good.
So listen, let's just get
down to bass task, okay?
- Brass tax.
- The reason why I called
this emergency meeting
'cause Craig has to hand his
project in about two days
and we haven't even encountered one ghost
but tonight, we're gonna
prove to them, to the world
that ghosts exist.
- How?
- Oh, how are we gonna do that Dave?
- I'm very happy you asked it because
let me explain this to you,
tonight we're going to the
abandoned psychiatric center.
- Oh.
- No.
- No, no.
- We're not doing that.
- Yes.
- What?
- What?
- Dave, that place is like
super dangerous and sketchy.
- No, no, no, no,
'cause it's like in a
dangerously haunted way.
- Oh.
- No, no, but we're not
actually going there
because it's like the
scariest place imaginable.
- Exactly.
So if there's ever a place
to see a ghost or ghoul
it's there.
We don't even have to
stay there all night.
We just go there till we see something
and then we catch it
and then boom, we just go home.
- No, see, actually
this works out perfectly
because my mom's going on a date tonight
and she actually wants me out of the house
in case they have sex.
- She actually said that to you?
- No, she left a note on the fridge.
- That is, what?
- That's a little weird, Franklin.
- Very weird.
- What?
- Weird.
- No, it's not.
No look, my mom, right,
I'm her little baby robin
and she tells me everything
that's happening in the nest.
- That's even weirder.
- Okay, sorry that your mom's dead, TJ.
- What the?
- Guys, guys, relax,
TJ, to be honest, no one really
cares about your dead mom,
unless you could conjure her up.
Wait, can you conjure?
It's conjure, is it ponder,
is it ponder her up?
Could you ponder her up tonight?
'Cause that'd be super helpful.
Is he crying?
All right.
All right guys, look, eight o'clock, okay,
p.m., that's p.m., parking
lot, psychiatric center,
meet me there.
It'll be a great meeting.
- Dave!
Yeah, this is a bad idea.
I don't think Dave fully understands
that it's an abandoned psychiatric center.
So going there you're gonna be arrested.
But that's my group of
friends that I chose
so I guess in a lot of ways it's my fault.
- Hey Tim, are you doing an interview?
- Yeah buddy.
- Oh cool.
Hey can I do an interview?
- Um, no--
- I love doing interviews.
I never know what to say though.
Ah!
- Tonight's the night.
We're spending the night
at the abandoned psychiatric center.
I was nervous at first but
it can actually be a little fun.
I had a big meal before this,
so I wouldn't eat any of the
snacks I brought with me.
I wanted to try something new
so I went with Indian food.
Never had it before.
It was this immaculate buffet.
I mean, the tastes, out of this world.
I have a full belly
and I am ready to go.
- He's testing me, boy,
he's really testing me.
- Who's testing you?
- Have any of you guys heard from Tim?
- No, but who's testing you?
- I didn't bring my phone.
- What?
What do you mean you
didn't bring your phone?
- No one told me to bring my phone,
so I didn't bring it with me.
- It's 2018,
what do you just leave your
house without your phone?
- People just bring
their phones everywhere
and leave them in their
pockets all the time?
- Yes!
- Dave, I really need to know
who it is, who's testing you?
- Wait.
- They are?
And people just have their
phones on at all times?
- Is Tim testing you?
Have either of you eaten
at Jasper's Halal Buffet?
- Isn't that that place
that got shut down?
- Oh yeah, I saw that on TV.
That place was like full
of feces or something.
- Wait, what kind of feces?
You know what, no, I don't
want to know, never mind.
I don't want to know.
- No yeah, that place,
a lot of people got sick, right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah TJ, do not eat there.
- Of course not, I'm not gonna eat there,
I heard all about it.
- Possums, that's what
it was, possum feces.
- You alright, you nervous for tonight?
- No, I just find possums gross.
- Old possums.
- I ate so much food.
I ate so much food.
And the wait staff,
they just watched,
they just kept bringing
plates over and serv--
- Well it's about GD time.
- What, you said get here at eight.
- Yeah, Tim, and all right it's 8:01.
What's she doing here?
- You said I can come if
I convinced him to come.
- Okay, I did.
I bet you had to use some
kind of weird sex weapon
to get him here, yeah,
to get him here, huh?
- Okay, everyone stop now.
- Yeah, my bad.
Franklin, knock it off.
Did you at least bring the beer?
- We were told to bring batteries.
- I also brought batteries.
- Yeah I have a trunk full of batteries
that we should probably take out.
I feel it's a safety hazard.
- Franklin, what did you tell them?
- I texted everyone, Dave
says bring batteries,
just like you told me to.
- No, I told you that I
would bring the batteries.
- Well, there was no way of me knowing,
I don't have my phone.
- Oh my, you I know what, fine, it's fine.
You I know what I have
enough gear for everybody
so whatever.
- Sweet, let's do this.
- No, you're not wearing that.
- Okay.
- I printed up a map.
So this is what I was thinking,
we'd go over to the west hallway.
A lot of people end up dying there
so it's a necessary stop and then
after that we'll go to the cafeteria.
That place is crawling with ghouls.
And then yeah, there's a morgue after that
but I feel like we just
skip it and then---
- Hold on, did you say that
you want to skip the morgue?
- Yeah, what?
- Wouldn't that be like the one place
that we'd want to go to
if we're looking for ghosts?
- I'm pretty sure the cafeteria
is the right place to go.
- Okay.
- Is there possibly a
men's room on that map
that we could stop, no
particular reason, I just...
- Anybody pick up any readings out here?
I haven't checked my EMF in awhile but--
- I'm not picking up anything.
- No?
- Well, I wouldn't know,
no one ever taught me
how to use this thing.
- Oh, hold on, guys, sorry,
that is a digital EMF reader.
- Yeah, it measures
electromagnetic fields that the,
that the ghosts they travel
to and from our world
through the yeah, like picture a portal.
- Well how do you know
that ghosts travel through
electromagnetic fields anyway?
I mean it's infinite possibilities.
- I don't know.
Dave, do you have an answer for this?
- Because uh...
Because they have to.
- Great.
- What?
- Why do they have to?
- Because Franklin, it's
their molecular nomenclature.
Okay, when it correlates
with the lymph nodes,
honestly, I don't have time to
explain it to you, all right?
I learned that stuff when I was like five
so keep up.
I don't have, I can't
focus on ghoul catching
and leading the team
and having to worry about
keeping you up to speed, okay?
Jesus, Chris, man, you freaking idiot.
- Was that your stomach?
- No.
No, no.
- It sounded like,
are you sure, are you okay?
- Just stop talking about it.
Just stop talking about
it, I think it was a ghost.
The sounds, it travels pretty far.
That could've been an
electromagnetic fields.
Is nobody beeping?
- I'm just getting a pretty distinct smell
of cat pee over here.
Are you guys getting that?
- Yeah, it's gross.
- Pretty gross.
- Pretty potent.
- Dave, what do you say we get the group
inside one of these buildings here?
- Yeah, actually that's a
really smart idea, buddy.
How 'bout me and you, we split off and--
- I was thinking we'd probably go
inside a building together,
all of us.
- Well I just thought we'd
cover a lot more ground
if it was just me and you
and them three just kind of go off
and we go in the morgue,
since you won't shut up about it.
- I think we're covering ground
at a pretty good rate so--
- We can split up.
- Yeah see, there you go, Mackenzie.
She's growing on me.
- Are you sure you're
okay with splitting up?
- Yeah, it's fine.
It'll get me a chance to
get to know TJ and Franklin
a little better.
Tim and Dave have a lot to unpack.
They could use some time without
a girlfriend being around.
Plus, you know, I don't think
Dave likes me very much.
- I hate Mackenzie.
She's the human equivalent to a shart
and quite frankly, she
makes me sad to look at.
You okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm fine.
- Oh yeah.
Dude, we found the morgue.
This is brilliant.
It was such a good idea.
Do you know how many
bodies came through here?
- I couldn't even guess.
- Thousands.
- What a wild, okay.
- Hello, are there any spirits in here?
I don't want to startle anyone.
We're shooting a documentary
and we just need a quick
glimpse of a ghost.
- Dave, I think they might come out
if you tell them more about
the documentary, explain it.
- Yeah, so I'm Dave and this is Tim,
he's my best friend in
the whole wide world
and we're shooting just
a quick documentary
and we could just use maybe
one quick sight or interview--
- Also, if you could,
if you could come out
and sign some releases--
- Oh, that's perfect.
I don't have the pens.
- Oh, you don't have a pen?
Dave, I'm kidding.
- Will you just take it seriously?
- That's weird.
- What?
- I'm not picking up
anything on my EMF tracker
but there's the distinct
smell of sulfur in this area.
Teej, do you smell that?
- I don't think so, no.
- What does a sulfur smell mean?
- It means there's definitely
a ghost in this area.
Come on, let's check it out.
Oh my gosh.
Are you picking up
anything on your reader?
- No, oh my God, that's awful.
- It's not that bad.
- No, that is bad.
Wow, that is definitely sulfur.
Oh my gosh.
There could be a ghost right on top of us.
Hey, make sure you're getting this.
- Oh God, oh sweet Lord in heaven.
I'm fine.
- That's the
worst thing I've ever smelt.
- Wow, it's almost like
it's getting more powerful.
Oh God, that is really bad down here.
It's like, it must be a child.
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm getting
a little bit light headed.
Teej, are you not picking up anything?
- No, no, no, nothing, nothing.
We should probably go check another room.
- When we're with a ghost
right here right now, no way, no way.
We're not giving this up, okay.
We are getting great footage.
Keep going.
Is anybody here with us?
- Still not picking anything up out there.
I feel like there's something
definitely in the room with us.
Do you feel it, Tim?
- Nope, not really.
- Did you hear that?
- What?
I didn't hear anything.
- Dude, play it up for the cameras.
They'll just edit it in post.
- Dave, this is so stupid.
- What's stupid?
- This, ghost hunting.
- Ghoul hunting.
- Okay, yeah, whatever,
we're wasting our Saturday night
inside a psychiatric center.
- You don't have to be here.
- I don't have to be here?
You call me every week harassing
me to go on a ghoul hunt.
- Harassing you?
You used to love this, okay?
Yeah, until Mackenzie came along.
- Dave, I used to love
this when we were 12.
I didn't think we'd be doing it
for another 15 years.
And that's another thing,
why don't you like Mackenzie?
She tries so hard to get you to like her
and all you do, you're a jerk to her.
- I don't dislike Mackenzie, okay?
I just don't like when
she comes in between
our ghoul hunting.
- Mackenzie's not coming in
between our ghoul hunting,
it's me.
- What?
- We're 27 years old
and all you care about is
going to places like this
to ghost hunt.
Grow up.
- Look, I know that we've
been doing this for 15 years,
I just kind of wish it was Mackenzie
who was the one that stopped
you from hanging out with me.
- I know.
- I don't even know if I
believe in ghosts or anything.
- Dave.
- I know, every time I
go into a room and I say
if something's in the rooms,
it's just like cavities.
- Dave.
- I don't know how many cavities
a normal 27-year-old has--
- Dave stop, look behind you!
- I now Franklin's
probably behind me but--
- No, no, Dave, look behind you,
there's a ghost.
- What was that?
- I don't know,
it sounded like a bunch of screams
coming from another room
although there was one at the end
that sounded pretty close to us.
- No, no, I'm pretty sure that was
still pretty far away.
- Oh God, the sulfur smell is back.
- Whew, this ghost is right on our trail.
- It smells so bad.
It's like decomposing corpses.
- I know right, it's so bad
but anyway, back to those screams,
it sounded like it came
from the other side of the
psych center like the morgue.
- That's where Tim and Dave are.
We have to go check on them.
- Oh damn, we're gonna
miss out on this ghost.
- No, no, we're not.
I'll stay behind,
I'll investigate more here.
- Are you sure?
Are you gonna be okay on your own?
Yeah, I'll be
I'll be fine, I'll be fine.
- Okay, my little soldier.
- Franklin, come on.
- I'll catch up with you guys.
Oh dear God, oh dear God.
- That was insane.
- Yeah I know, right?
- Hey, what was the deal with the gun?
- Pretty awesome, right?
Finally made America great again.
- No, no, where did you
even get a gun from, Dave?
- Come to think of it,
I don't even remember.
- That is so upsetting.
- I know, right?
Man, my memory is shot these days.
- It's a ghost.
Wouldn't the bullets just
go straight through it?
- I don't know, they have ears.
They heard it,
they could probably run away or something,
scare 'em off.
I went into mama bear mode.
I thought you'd be proud.
I was trying to protect you.
- Okay, thank you.
We should call Mackenzie.
- Yeah, call Mackenzie.
- Wait, duh, I'm holding onto her phone.
She doesn't have pockets.
- Feminism.
- I'll call TJ.
- Feminism.
- That doesn't even apply.
Do you know?
- It's Hilary, she's the reason for it.
- TJ.
- Hey, buddy.
- Are you guys all right?
- Me?
I'm fine, just doing some
solo investigation, you know?
- Wait, are you not with
Franklin and Mackenzie?
- Nope, they went to investigate
the girlish screams from the morgue.
- How long ago did they
leave, do you know?
- Yeah, that's crazy.
Anyway, I really have to go.
I'm pretty sure something's
about to happen.
Oh my God, not again.
- TJ, no, don't hang up.
TJ, TJ?
- Did he see another ghost?
- No, something's going on there though
but Franklin and Mackenzie
are headed this way.
They're going to the morgue.
- All right, sweet, they'll see the ghost.
- No, we gotta go in there and save them.
- This time, I'll hit the ghost.
- Dave, stop bringing
guns with you everywhere.
- Okay fine, let's go.
- You can't leave the gun there.
- Ghosts can't pick up guns.
- A kid could find it.
- Okay so what?
It's barely loaded at this point.
- Dave, take the gun.
- All right, fine.
- Dave.
- I'm coming.
- I think the sound came from this way.
Are you getting any readings?
- No, I put my EMF away, it died.
- Don't we have like an
abundance of batteries?
- No, I don't think so.
Oh God, okay, do you remember the,
what's the, do you
remember those white bears?
Do you remember what their name is?
- Mmhmm, yeah, polar bears.
- No, no, no, the white
ones, Santa's friends.
- Yeah, polar bears.
- No, I don't, no, they're like,
on the Coca-Cola commercials,
the Klondike ones.
- It's definitely polar bears.
- No.
- Yes.
- No, it's, that's not even,
oh, they're like on the polar ice caps.
God, this is gonna kill me,
oh it's gonna eat me alive.
Anyway, you know which ones
I'm talking about, right?
- I do, Franklin, I do.
- I think Tim's girlfriend
might have some sort of crush on me.
I never really thought
of Mackenzie in that way.
I mean Tim's one of my best friends.
I don't know,
I don't know if I can see me
and Mackenzie being a thing.
- Tim?
- Dave?
- Are you guys in here?
- Yeah, we heard someone scream.
We didn't know if maybe you
saw a ghost or something.
- Oh God, what if
something happened to Tim?
Do you think they're okay?
- No, no, you know what, I'm sorry,
either way, it'd be really
disrespectful to Tim
if you and me, you know,
I couldn't do that to Tim, I'm sorry.
- What?
- Oh thank God.
What are you still doing here?
How much of that did you see,
are you still recording?
Where is this gonna fit into the story?
You sicko
Oh God.
Why haven't you sent for help yet?
Oh, I'm clearly not well.
Oh sweet, Jesus.
Oh God.
- I'm just saying, think about it,
if Mackenzie were to die,
you'd have like a really cool back story.
- What?
- Yeah, like that show Supernatural,
their mom died,
so they just went around
hunting supernatural things.
That would be like you
but with your girlfriend.
That's a really cool backstory.
I kind of wish I had a backstory.
What if Mackenzie was my girlfriend
and she got murdered by
a ghost serial killer
but we just didn't know that
she was two-timing both of us?
We could be like ghost eskimo,
ghostkimo bros
- Dave, Dave,
you gotta stop.
- New name of the show.
- You're driving me crazy
and they're right over here.
- Oh shit.
- Dave, Dave.
- Hi, thank God,
yeah, we're fine.
Are you guys okay?
We heard screaming, so
we rushed over here.
- Well, Dave and I saw a ghost.
- Well, it was a ghoul, actually
but besides the point dude
because we actually saw one.
- Did you shoot it?
- I missed.
- It's okay.
- Franklin, you knew Dave had
a gun on him the entire time?
- Dave, Dave is always packing heat.
Hey, didn't I give you that gun?
- Dude, that's where I,
I couldn't remember where I found it
but you gave it to me,
that's where it was.
- You guys are idiots.
- Um idiots who are always
ready to fight terrorism
at a moment's notice.
What the?
- Did you have that on
you the entire time?
- I don't remember.
Let's go kill some ghosts.
- No, he brought up a good point before.
The bullets, they just
go right through 'em.
- Oh, damn it.
- Yeah.
- Oh that's a good point.
- I know.
- Oh, well I guess there's no
need for this anymore, huh?
- Why are you both so stupid?
You can't just throw a gun down.
- Um, Tim, ghouls can't pick up guns.
- Dude, don't even try,
I explained this like
a hundred times before.
- No, you idiots, a kid could find it
plus, your fingerprints are all over it.
- Whoa.
- Oh my God, Mackenzie,
right now, seriously,
right in front of Tim?
- What?
- What?
- Look Tim, I didn't want
to have to do this but
your girlfriend's been
hitting on me all night.
I'm pretty sure she even
tried to kiss me at one point.
What the are you saying?
We've had one conversation the whole night
and it was about the fact
that you couldn't remember the name
of the white bears.
- Wait, polar bears?
- I said that.
- That's it, polar bears.
Oh my gosh.
- Tim, Tim, no, I said
that, no, I said that.
- Bolar bears, bolar bears.
- I told him that when you were talking
about the Klondike bar thing,
the Coca-Cola thing.
- Wait guys, shut up, shut up.
Do you feel that?
My EMF's going crazy.
Craig, Craig, Craig, I think we're good,
I think we outran it.
I think we're good.
- I can't believe we just saw that.
Oh my God.
- Dude, we proved that ghosts exist.
- We did, we did.
- Wait, TJ.
- Oh no.
- Where'd you guys see him?
- Last we saw him was in
that west hallway, I think.
- Yeah, did he text anyone?
I don't have my phone.
- We gotta go back.
- Wait, he texted me.
"Hey guys, sorry I had to go
home early, family emergency."
- Dude, it's two a.m.
Who has a family emergency at two a.m.?
- Yeah, what did his mom die again?
- Dude, nice.
- No, what is wrong with you?
- Well, at least we know that TJ's safe.
Can we go home now?
This place is creeping me out.
- Yeah, same.
- Let's get out of here.
Pizza on Tim?
- My name's Randy, Randy Newman.
No relation to the,
I'm a security guard here
at the Kings Guard Psychiatric Center.
They actually closed down this
psychiatric center in 1979
due to budget cuts by the state.
My job isn't too crazy,
keep the place clean,
make sure that no homeless
people setting up shop,
teenagers causing trouble.
Once in awhile, you get a
dog thinks he owns the place,
all over it.
We have an epidemic facing
the psychiatric center.
It's the war on littering.
Littering is the gateway
drug to vandalism.
Graffiti, paint, nothing
too detrimental, you know?
That door's not supposed to be open.
Just stay here for a second,
let me go check it out.
This door should be oh my God, oh my God.
Oh God, someone took a in here.
Oh my Lord.
Son of a.
Oh, my God, it smells so bad.
Did you guys know about this?
You sons of, you get back here.
Did you take a in here?
How could you do this to me?
There is everywhere,
all over my shoes, everywhere.
I knew you weren't doing a documentary
on security guards named Randy.
- All right, sorry
about that, Mr. Fellows.
It's been kind of a
crazy night for us here
as you can probably imagine.
I'm Detective West, by the way.
- Dave.
- Dave, I know that you probably
went through your story
already with an officer
but I'm gonna need you to tell it to me.
- I've been here for like four hours.
- Dave, there's a report of a dead body
and you're the only person
who knows where it is.
If you walk away right now,
that doesn't look good.
- All right, fine.
But if I'm gonna do
this story any justice,
I'm gonna start at the end
and work back to the middle,
definitely a prologue, end credit scene.
- What?
Why would you do that?
Just start from the beginning.
- Well, I thought you would want
like a more engaging narrative.
- No, don't, no, don't dress up your story
using some cheap narrative tool
that writers use.
- So I'll just start from the beginning.
- From the beginning.
- It was a pretty normal day, all in all.
It was the day after my
friend Franklin's funeral.
We were meeting at this
lady lawyer's office,
which I'm fine with, by the way.
So this lady is a real lawyer?
- Yes.
- Hmm.
- She?
- What?
- Nothing.
- Wow.
- Happy you made it.
I didn't know if you were gonna come.
- Yeah, yeah, me either.
What's up with Craig being here?
- They're doing the where
are they now part of the docu
so they tagged along.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait.
- What?
- Are you telling me this camera crew
was following you around the whole time?
- Yes.
- Why can't you just give me that footage?
Then I can see what happened.
- I can
but I freaking tell the story
so much better than Craig.
Okay, that hack job completely
butchered the freaking edit.
- What are you doing?
- What?
- Don't look in the camera.
You just did it again.
- No, I didn't.
- Stop doing it.
- You're just like Craig.
- Who is Craig?
- Do you want me to keep going or no?
- Fine.
- Kind of weird that they started filming
a where are they know
right as Franklin...
- Died?
Franklin's dead, TJ.
- Yeah, anyway, how are
you guys holding up?
- Hanging in there.
- It was just so sudden.
- I never actually,
I never heard how Franklin passed away.
Do you guys know?
- He was actually going to,
he was heading to--
Ah.
- What's that?
- Mackenzie's here.
Don't look now, she hasn't seen you yet.
Just come in here, get in here.
- This isn't gonna work.
Please stop.
I don't need your help.
I'm fine, thank you, thank
you, thank you, thank you.
- Dave, TJ, Tim, how are you?
- I'm well.
How are you?
- Fine, thanks, hanging in there.
- So soon after we discovered
that ghosts existed
at the psychiatric center,
we got a development
deal from Travel Channel
to turn Ghoul Catchers into a TV show.
Anyway, two weeks into
filming the first season,
Tim started getting suspicious
that Mackenzie was cheating on him.
We all thought nothing of it.
We were like, Tim, you're crazy.
But after one long night of shooting,
Tim walked back to his trailer,
thought he heard something,
swung open the door and what did he see?
Mackenzie just going to town on some dude.
And who was that dude, you ask?
None other than Franklin Geller.
Whew, Tim quit the show,
Mackenzie and Franklin started dating,
it was a whole big thing.
We haven't seen Tim since.
So wow, you missed a lot.
- Thank you so much
for taking the time to come in today.
- Thank you
for everything that you go through.
- Okay.
I'm really--
- I almost voted for Hilary.
- Please stop.
Stop.
- I'm sorry for the loss of your friend.
I'm sure that was really hard for you guys
and I know you were all very close.
- Tim wasn't.
Well, towards the end, anyway but,
that's all in the past
though, right buddy?
- Yeah.
- Infidelity.
- Dave.
- Bitch.
- Okay, so in the event of his death,
Franklin Geller has made
a last will and testament.
Yeah?
- Is that when we get his stuff?
- Yeah.
All right, so I'm just
gonna show you guys this
'cause I got to get you out of here.
All right, here we go.
- Hi guys.
If you're watching this, I'm dead.
I know, don't freak out,
it was no one's fault,
unless I was murdered,
in which case it was
definitely someone's fault.
And if I was murdered,
Dave, I want you to
track whoever they are,
wherever they are,
find them and bring
them to justice please.
Start in St. Louis, I can't say why.
Imagine if I was murdered.
Oh my God, that'd be horrible.
Whoa, I really hope I don't get murdered.
Sorry, I digest.
Anyway, there are a few things
that I'd like to ask all of you
and there's also a few valuables
which I would like to bequeath upon you.
First things first,
please do not tell my mom I'm dead.
She has no idea and I think
she'll really freak out.
Also, if we're going with
the I was murdered thing,
definitely investigate her.
She's been like super unhinged
ever since me and Mackenzie
moved in together.
Speaking of Mackenzie,
my first message.
Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim,
Tin, Tin, Tin, Tin,
Tim, Tim, Tim, Tin, Tin, Tin.
- Is he saying Tin or Tim?
- You know, I never really
got a chance to tell you but
I'm sorry.
I truly fudged up big time.
This has been eating away
at me for a long time now
and I think it's just time
I give it to you straight
and tell you the honest truth and
that is that I borrowed your
neon green phone charger
that one time I slept over your house
and I never gave it back.
I feel like I really betrayed your trust
and I just hope that you can forgive me.
- Am I upset about the phone charger?
Not too much.
Although I did plan a
good chunk of my life
around that phone charger,
supported that phone
charger financially for
well over a year.
I even bought that phone charger
this engagement ring
which I'll probably never
get a chance to use now
'cause of my abandonment issues.
- Next, Mackenzie,
my little butterball,
my Italian sex pirate,
my little chicken parmesan
with a little basil on top,
sans the cheese,
I will never forget our first kiss.
Tim's car, that's right
he went into the 7-Eleven
to get you a water bottle
and we just locked lips
like a couple of horny high schoolers.
Oh man, we were probably only kissing
for like a minute or two but
it felt like were playing
tongue hockey for hours.
Don't worry, I won't tell Tim.
- The both of you.
- I pass onto you
my Beanie Baby collection.
You know how much that
means to me and I want,
I want you to keep it alive for me,
for us, my honey, my sweet pea,
my little chicken parmesan.
I'm sorry.
Moving right along, Dave,
my best friend, Dave.
Okay, Dave, you're my best friend
in the entire world.
What a ride it has been.
- That's not true.
- My man, truly.
Look, if I'm being honest,
I always thought you'd be the first to go.
You lived fast and you took chances.
I love that about you.
Here I am dead as a doornail.
Probably murdered.
Anyway, Dave, I'm giving you
my most valuable item, my poems.
Most of you probably don't
know this about me but uh
I have a bit of a green thumb,
I write poetry.
And it's something I'm really proud of.
Now Dave, since I'm dead,
these poems are going
to be worth a lot more
than when I was alive.
I stole a few from Shel Silverstein
but this probably should
still be the ticket.
Next, TJ, Teej,
oh TJ, I know we've been
buds for a really long time
but I never feel like we really connected.
So I couldn't really think
of anything sentimental to give you,
plus which, I already
gave Dave all my poems,
all 621 of 'em,
so I guess I'll just give you
the remaining balance on
any of my bank accounts.
- What?
- Which is about $284,000, sorry.
Also, while I'm in heaven,
I'm definitely gonna say hi to your mom,
unless your mom's in hell.
Oh wow, you know what,
she probably is in hell,
she definitely is in hell.
You don't get to go to heaven
for killing yourself so.
Guys, what to say, I don't know,
thank you for everything.
I've had a really incredible
time being your friend.
Thank you for making me feel
like I'm a part of something.
You guys have given me the
best memories of my life.
I'm so grateful.
I'll be looking down
at you from Ghoul City,
Ghoul Catchers for life.
I love you guys.
Take care of my son.
Bye.
All right, I think we got it.
Did I mention Tim's char--
- Wow, that must've been really tough
losing a best friend.
- Yeah, I can't even imagine that.
- I'm sorry, maybe I missed it,
how did your friend die?
- Who?
- Frank.
- Franklin.
- Franklin.
- Oh, no he's not really dead.
- What?
- No, he faked his death.
- You faked your friend's death?
- Yeah, so it's a good
plot twist, mic drop.
- Why would you do that?
- I don't know.
Tim wasn't really talking to any of us
after the whole Mackenzie situation.
So we just thought that
fake Franklin's death,
Tim gets sad,
we're best friends again, boom.
- You people are--
- What do you mean, you people?
- I meant nothing.
Just tell me what happened
after you left the
lawyer's office, please.
- Right after we dug up Franklin's body,
we just made a Z-line
straight to Tim's house.
- Oh my God.
- Hey Tim.
Tim, wake up.
Tim, Tim, hey buddy.
- Dave, what are you doing in my house?
- Not just Dave, hi Tim.
Wait, no, don't go back to sleep,
we have a surprise for you.
- Please get out of my house.
Did you guys bring the whole camera crew?
- No, we have a surprise for you.
- What?
- Hi Tim.
I know.
- Dave.
Why's Franklin alive?
- It's awesome, isn't it?
- What's happening?
- We faked my death.
- Why?
- Well because you would
know what it's like
to lose Franklin forever
and you would cherish his friendship,
I mean all of our friendships.
- Yeah, and now you're not
mad at Franklin anymore.
- You thought by faking Franklin's death
somehow I would be less mad?
- Well yeah, I mean it worked, right?
- No, it didn't work.
Now I hate all of you, all of you
and Franklin, I hate you even more.
- Even more, what did I do?
- I'm gonna kill you, I'm gonna kill you.
Get out, get out, get out of my house.
Get the out.
- Hey Tim, lower your voice,
it's very early.
Your parents are probably
trying to sleep, asshole.
- Get out!
- Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
You could give me a million guesses,
I would never have thought
he would react like that.
- Yeah that was,
that did not go well.
- Tim was mad,
like really, really, really mad.
He would not stop yelling.
- Yeah, what the hell was that about?
- Well, he still handled
it better than Mackenzie.
- Oh my God.
Oh my God.
- So what are we gonna do guys?
It's like back at square one.
Tim hates Franklin again
- And us.
- And us.
I mean we're never gonna get Tim back now.
I mean damn it, Franklin,
why did you have to
smash Mackenzie so well?
- Wait, I have an idea.
- Do you want to kill Mackenzie too?
Because I am so down.
- No, Dave listen,
you and Tim were always best
friends growing up, right?
- Yeah, so?
- So maybe instead of faking my death
to get us all back together,
we should've faked your death instead.
- Franklin, that is a great idea.
- Oh no.
You didn't?
- Yeah.
- Damn it, how do you guys
keep getting into my house?
- Oh that's not important.
- Tim, we have some news for you.
- What?
- You might want to sit down for this.
- No thanks.
- Tim, Dave passed away.
- No, no, we're
not doing that again.
- No, no, no, we're
being serious this time.
- Yeah, he made a video will.
I watched it earlier.
There's some really
powerful stuff on this.
- He made a will, really?
How did Dave die?
- Lawn mower.
- Ice fishing.
- He was using a lawn mower
while he was ice fishing
and it exploded everywhere.
- You guys are idiots.
Dave, Dave you can come out now.
Dave, come on, I know you're here.
I'm not mad anymore.
- Really?
- No, of course I'm still mad.
Now will you guys stop
faking each other's deaths
and get out of my house?
- Did you guys show him the video?
- We tried.
- He wouldn't watch it.
- What?
I dropped like eight grand on that thing.
- Dave, this has to stop.
- Will you at least just
hear me out for a second?
- Fine, one second.
- All right, well, I guess,
the reason why we're doing
all these crazy schemes
and faking our deaths is
I don't know man, the Ghoul Catchers
kind of sucks without you.
- Yeah, we did two seasons after you left
but I don't know,
it just felt like we
were missing something.
- Yeah, the network said
we were missing diversity,
whatever that means,
but I think what we're really missing
is all the ghoul catchers.
- Yeah, and if we don't
have all the ghoul catchers,
we all agreed we're not doing shoes.
- We're not doing show, the show.
- What?
Tim, come on, we're not doing the show?
- I don't know, guys.
- Look, Tim, I don't
have to go this route but
do it for Dave, he's dead.
- No no, no, we're passed that.
- Oh yeah, sorry.
- You should watch,
I'm just gonna leave this here.
- I mean guys I left for a reason.
- Yeah and I know
and Franklin's really sorry.
- Yes, Tim, I am so sorry
about the phone charger.
I betrayed you on that--
- See, this is what I'm talking about.
He doesn't even know.
He doesn't even know.
- Mackenzie.
- Mackenzie.
- Oh, oh that,
ah okay right,
Tim, Tin, Tin, Tin, Tin,
Tin, Tinny Tin, Tin, Tim, man,
I'm so sorry about the
whole Mackenzie thing,
like truly, I really betrayed you
and what I did was immature and selfish
and I should not have done it,
taking Mackenzie from you
that was really below the belt.
I'm sorry, truly.
And look, if it's any consolation,
me and Mackenzie are no longer together.
- Really?
- Yeah, yep, she broke up with me
'cause of the whole faking my death thing
and then I pretended to be a zombie
and she went into an elliptical seizure
and then now she's in the hospital.
It's kind of this whole big thing.
Don't worry about it, it's fine.
- It's on the--
- Yeah, it's on that.
You should watch it.
- You should watch it.
It's on there.
- Please Tim.
- Look, I don't want
to have to say this but
we could really use the
money if you came back.
Yeah, so if you don't pay your taxes,
the IRS comes after you.
So I just tried to smooth things over
and I sent a whole bunch
of cash in the mail
but I labeled it to the IRF,
and that stands for the
Iraqi Revolutionary Fund.
Good news is that the ISIS wiped out,
they took care of them,
but Wolf Blitzer has
called them the super ISIS.
- Tim, would you please come back?
'Cause I really don't
want to not do the show.
- All right, fine.
- Wait really?
Yes!
- Yeah, I miss you guys.
I really do.
- Oh yes.
Hey Ghoul Catchers for life.
- For life.
- For life.
Woo!
- So that's it,
that's how the Ghoul Catchers
got their groove back.
- That's great.
I'm glad you got your friend back
but you didn't tell me
anything about the murder.
- I never said murder.
- So you just found a dead body?
- Not dead, at least not dead yet.
- What does that mean, not dead yet?
- Well see, right after we
got the Ghoul Catchers back,
surprise, surprise, Tim got angry again.
But this time it was at TJ.
So what do we do?
We only got one play in the book.
- You faked his death.
- We faked his death.
It was over like apple pie or something,
I don't really remember.
But we were just gonna do the
whole faking TJ's death again
so that Tim can get back to his senses
like we did the first and second time
but then Tim was just
still like really upset
about TJ eating the last apple pie slice.
TJ ate the last apple pie
slice, that's what happened.
TJ ate the last slice of apple pie,
so Tim got mad.
So TJ kills himself.
- What the hell is wrong with you people?
- Oh no, it gets much worse.
We were supposed to go dig him up today
but Franklin's way too weak
and I have artist's hands,
I don't have manual labor hands.
So actually detective--
- West.
- Detective West,
how would you feel if you
helped us unbury our friend?
- Your friend is underground right now.
- Yes.
- You know you don't
have to bury your friend
when they fake their own death, right?
- How you holding up, TJ?
- Not great.
I ate all of my snacks in the first day.
So that was kind of a bad start.
By day two,
I realized I was the one
who does all the digging.
So I was certain no one would save me
and I lost all of day three
because of the realization of day two.
So that was fun.
By the time day four rolled around,
I was kind of at peace with things.
So I was ready to go and
I was already buried,
the hard part was over.
- Dude, you were down
there for like five hours.
- No, no I was down in
pure darkness for days.
It wasn't five hours.
- No, no not at all.
- How about we just all agree
to stop faking each other's deaths?
No more.
- I think that phase.
- Hey, isn't it really great
that we're all back together again?
- Yeah,
I guess it is, buddy.
- Yeah, I'm getting pretty hungry,
anybody want some food?
- Oh yeah, I could use something.
- I am starving,
I haven't eaten in days.
So let's feast.
- Five, five hours.
- It was days.
- Five hours.
- Hey boo.
You're so cute.
Yeah no, no, no, no TJ's good,
we're good, we got him out.
Yeah, no, he's alive, he's fine.
Oh, Tim, no yeah, Tim's okay.
Hey sweetheart, no, no, no, no, no,
it's fine, it's fine,
he's really fine, you
don't have to be worried.
- Franklin.
- What's up?
- Are you serious?
Are you dating Mackenzie again?
- No, Tim, you know I'm past that.
You know I would never do that to you.
It's your mom.
Sorry sweetheart, yeah, just hold on.
- I told him that.
- I'm gonna kill him.
I'm gonna kill him.
- No, Franklin run!
- Yo got to bury him first.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, don't move.
Have you
seen my gun anywhere?
- What?
- This isn't good.
I hope I didn't leave it in the laundry.
- Where were you before this?
- I came straight here, I think.
No, I went to Ihop.
I left it on the table at Ihop.
They're not gonna believe me
that it happened a third time.
