Paranormal Prison (2021) - full transcript

My connection
to the prison is, uh,

my family doesn't like to talk
about it a whole lot but, uh,

my great-grandmother,
she was there and...

a very, very
wealthy woman and...

And it's just not something that really
I've ever wanted to touch bases with,

but I understood,

I was too young, but from what I heard
my mother and the rest of the family say

was that she was a very,
very nasty woman.

And I would assume that
having been at the prison,

she probably
earned her time there.

The Old State Penitentiary
is now closed to tourists



after concerns of
structural instability.

Conspiracy theorists, however,
claim that ghostly sightings

and increased paranormal activity
are to blame for the closure.

My dad went to
a Halloween sleepover there

and they had this guy
dressed like an Indian,

big old Mohawk,
scared the shit out of him.

Anyways, they used to have
sleepovers there all the time.

So my dad told me. Guess they
canceled them ages ago.

Stuff about weird stuff that
wasn't supposed to be there.

They're right,
I've seen it.

Really?
Did you get it on tape?

I did. But like others,
everything I recorded

was blank after I left
the prison grounds.

So all that survives are these
interviews conducted in other places.



Wait, what?

Really? Did you get it on tape?

I did. But like others,
everything I recorded

was blank after I left
the prison grounds.

All that survives are these
interviews conducted in other places.

They accused the state
tourism board of continuing

a so-called
government cover-up

of the 1939 prison riot that led to
the deaths of three prison guards.

Uh, some of the "cool kids"
went stealing from them

all to prove that they
weren't scared. I never did.

Because you weren't
cool, or because of the haunting?

Probably both.

Am I allowed to say shit?

My uncle or somebody from our
family worked there during the riot

and they told me that
weird shit happened.

They're taking that place down
because it's evil,

that's what I think.

Have you
been there yourself?

Been there?
I worked there 32 years.

My aunt's step-sister's
husband's uncle,

he saw this Indian in Siberia.

It's like a ghost. Scared
the crap out of him.

This is Sara.

Hey, Matt. Watching
a video about the prison,

it's pretty creepy.

Okay, see you then.

I know this for a fact.

That prison is so scary.

I'm kind of psychic,
you know?

I was there once,
and all of a sudden

I smelled roses all over.

And they weren't any roses.

- That place is scary.
- Aww!

I don't like scary.

Hey folks, big news from the
Skeptic and the Scientist channel.

I'm talking huge.
Take a look.

We are the last crew to film
in the old historic prison

located in
the High Desert of Idaho.

There were hangings there.

There were serial killers.

There were prison riots.

There was more.

Now we haven't been inside yet,

but this facility has had
more ghost sightings

than almost any other location.

You know me.
I don't believe in ghosts.

But my partner Sara here,

she's got some
pretty special plans.

And if there's anybody
that's gonna prove me

your favorite skeptic wrong,

it's gonna be your
favorite scientist, Sara.

Got all the batteries
charged up?

Yeah, making sure
everything's working.

What about you?
Is your gizmo,

whatchamacallit,
thing-a-meter still working?

It's not called a gizmo, whatever you just said.

It's a synchrotron kinetic
energy pattern testing computer.

Oh. My bad. Well, that name's
going to be pretty hard to market

once all the paranormal
geeks and freaks

start lining up to buy one.

Probably, uh, think about
shortening it somehow maybe.

In the industry, the electromagnetic
field meter's abbreviated to EMF.

If I wanted to market it,

I suppose I could
use an acronym.

And I'm sure people will
come from all over to buy it.

So, why don't you explain
to our viewers what it does.

Okay. Um, for years,

paranormal investigators
have been using EMF to detect

the presence of residual
spectral energy.

It's theorized that
ghosts and such

disturb the earth's
natural electromagnetic force.

But I'm hypothesizing

that ghosts do not emit
electromagnetic radiation,

but instead
synchrotron radiation,

which occurs when charged particles
accelerate radially from...

Yeah, I'm just gonna
stop you right there.

I don't think anyone's gonna
know what that means.

Okay, let's put it this way.

If this light turns green,

that means there's
a human present.

If this light turns blue,

that means there's an energy
indicating a spirit.

Well, that's
easy enough. Got it.

- I'm here!
- Oh, hey. Hey.

- Sorry I'm late.
- Hey, Ashley.

Where's Matthew?

He said he needed
his beauty sleep,

- and for us to come pick him up.
- Yeah, figures.

- Um, do you guys already have your mics on?
- Yeah.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

- Ready to go?
- Yeah.

Yeah. Just got
to pack this camera up

and we can hit the road.

The prettiest honorably discharged
defender of our freedom has arrived.

And the rest of you.

Here, let me drive.

Uh, Jacob,

which cameras did you bring
for the stationary setup?

Oh, we've got several

yellow apple mobile cameras
ready to go.

They're pretty good in
low light, not too expensive.

And you brought the hand-held
zoomer camera too, right?

Yes. The hand-held zoomer,
right here, buddy.

Yes, do or die time guys. Woo!

You know, I hope that we don't
have to cancel the show.

I mean, I enjoy working
with most of you.

Don't worry.

Once we pull off this episode
and our viewership rises,

Matthew's going to think that
they're tuning in just for him

- and he'll keep the show going.
- Hah!

My trust funds got to be
good for something.

Let's make sure that
this camera's angled...

Oh, hey. I'm sorry. Sorry.

Is the word director
on the back of your chair?

- Well, no, but it's just the...
- And if there were a chair that

said director,
would you be sitting in it?

No. It's kind of hard to hold the
camera when you're sitting down.

Hmm. Exactly.

See, you're here
to hold the camera,

and I'm here to direct.
That's what I do.

That's why I'm here.
Oh, and be eye candy for our viewers.

All hundreds of our viewers.

Hey, we have
a very loyal following.

Pretty soon we're going to be
paying people to watch this show.

No, man. No.

With Sara's new doohickey and the
fact that we are the last crew to film

at this prison, people are
gonna be tuning in.

Are you sure
they know we're coming?

Mhm.

Seven o'clock. Right on time.

- Go get them.
- Hello? Hello?

I'm coming,
I'm coming.

All right.
We are in business.

It's open.

Who is this guy?

What you got there?

- Well, it's...
- That is a spectrum radiation energy meter.

Synchrotron kinetic energy
pattern testing computer.

That's right, it's
the synchrotron kinetic energy

pattern testing computer.

Or just SKEPTC for short,
it's named after me.

It's not named after you,
and please put the camera away.

It measures the...

space time continuum

through the synch...
the synchronicity,

the synergy of the spooky.
The...

Give that back to me.

So last group to get
a permit to film here, huh?

Yup,
and we're pretty stoked.

Make sure you capture as
much as you can before the sun sets.

Oh, why?

Because you can't
see in the dark obviously.

And we don't have
many sources of light.

Well, we better get our tent
set up with our receiver gear.

So these walls
were actually built with stone

the prisoners
were forced to quarry.

Then they built the walls,
trapping themselves inside.

It's kind of poetic.

There's one of the guard towers.

They were numbered
counterclockwise

starting in
the north-east corner.

You can see you've got
a great line of sight

from every corner.

Even though this place
closed after the 1939 riot,

I feel like I've been
stuck here ever since.

Want out as much as
the prisoners did.

Seem like
pretty short walls.

And dining hall.

Last big riot of '73 that
closed the place down.

Used to be a beautiful building,

not so much anymore.

- It's really quiet.
- There's not much around here.

This is
where they housed the women.

Any deaths in here?
Anyone of significance?

Mary Beth Flake,

the only female serial killer
in Idaho history.

I saw interviews
with some of her relatives.

Everything
associated with Mary Beth Flake

involved four red roses.

The rose bush outside of this cell block
has four roses blooming on it year round.

Legend has it that when
the roses start to go away,

shit is about to hit the fan.

Mary Beth came from an
extremely wealthy family.

So how'd she become
a serial killer then?

Her father owned,
among other things,

the largest construction company
in the Northwest.

Helped build parts of
this prison, in fact.

Her father used to bring her
onto construction sites.

Hoped she'd take over
the family business eventually.

She was an only child.

She stood to inherit a lot
of money when her father died.

Right.
By all accounts, Mary Beth

was a homely woman,

but there was no lack of suitors
to marry into that inheritance.

So did she find
someone to marry?

She did. But two months
after she married her new beau,

her father died under
mysterious circumstances.

How mysterious?

Her father was only
50 years old and in perfect health.

At a family gathering

he was found dead
without a mark on him,

in the estate's rose garden.

Since she was married,
her husband had complete control

over the estate she inherited.

Always blaming
the husband.

Right. Looks
like you did your homework.

Mary Beth knew
if she divorced her husband,

whom she suspected
of killing her father,

he would get the estate.

It drove Mary Beth
off the deep end.

It was the law.

And since women
couldn't vote yet,

it was unlikely to change
any time soon.

And so she became
a homicidal maniac?

Did she kill her husband
to get her money?

Too obvious. No.

Instead, she became a tornado
of grassroots politics,

encouraging the women of Idaho
to write their legislatures,

sign petitions, speak out
at every opportunity.

She figured if women could vote,
they could change the law

that gave men control
over all their lives.

Soon those that were loudest in their
opposition to giving women the right to vote

also began to die
under mysterious circumstances.

So, she started killing everyone
who was opposed to women's suffrage.

Only the 12
most vocal in their opposition.

Who was the 12th victim?

- Her husband.
- It was common knowledge

that her and her husband were
in a less than cordial marriage.

- Well, she was homicidal.
- Well, so was he.

Wow, cute couple.

- And she got the death sentence.
- She did.

When I was looking it up,
I couldn't find out exactly when she died.

No one knows. Somehow she managed
to escape and was never found.

Dun-dun-dun! What?

Uh, do you guys
smell that?

- What?
- I smell roses.

- Oh, my God, I do, too.
- You do?

Because there's a whole
bunch of rose bushes

right outside and the wind
started to blow.

If you're new to our program,
remember that pretty much

100% of "paranormal activity"

can be explained away
with reasonable reasons.

Reasonable reasons?

Very eloquent, Matthew.
Roses aren't in season.

Residual roses.

Oh, yeah, residual roses.
That must be it.

At least
the roses smell nice.

Shove it, Matt.

Shove it, Matt.

Okay, there's a woman in there.
There's a woman's voice.

I heard a woman's voice.

Ha-ha.

No, there is a woman in there
and I was all alone of course.

Someone said, "Shove it, Matt."
Which is what Jacob said,

And it was his voice echoing,
but it sounded like a woman.

Hey, asshole.

Lights on.

If you need to say anything to primary cam
please cover your light or just turn it off.

Got it.

Oof!

Hey, why don't you explain
what you're doing

and how that thing works.

Uh, okay.

I'll try to
keep it really basic,

but every human,

every human emits
electromagnetic radiation.

That's what
an EMF meter measures.

Paranormal investigators
theorize that

when a spirit or ghost,
if you like,

doesn't fully leave
this plane of existence,

it leaves behind
spectral energy,

which is just another form
of electromagnetic energy.

What this device does is

it detects
synchrotron radiation.

And what is
synchrotron radiation?

I'll try to put it
really simply, again.

But synchrotron radiation
is the radiation that occurs

when charged particles

accelerate perpendicular
to their velocity

as opposed to parallel,

which is what happens
in electromagnetic radiation.

Uh-huh. And so,
how will this thing help us find ghosts?

I hypothesize that spectral energy
emits electrons at inconsistent rates.

Right now,
the device is detecting

electromagnetic radiation
all around us.

Our hearts, our brains,
and the earth itself.

When this other light
turns blue,

that means that it has
detected synchrotron radiation.

There may be spectral energy,

but if there's
human energy present,

then it will always
take precedence.

So it's hard to tell.

And how
do you know it'll work?

Like how did you test it?

Um, I actually haven't
had a chance to test it yet,

but I'm hoping that
tonight will prove my theory.

So you've never actually
seen the blue light go on?

Well, the blue light
hasn't gone on...

And you won't, because
there's no such thing as ghosts.

So, your theory
of this science is,

the blue light comes on,
there's a ghost nearby.

Um... Yeah, I'm hoping

that with this
and the other evidence

we acquire tonight,
we can confirm.

And by other evidence,

she means the audio
and video evidence

she's hoping
to capture using this,

the networked YIN vid kit.

This is a state-of-the-art,
wifi-enabled,

real time recording,
blah blah, blah.

So when we don't actually see
any spirits or spooks nearby,

can't blame the equipment.

Um... there really
isn't much else

that can cause
synchrotron radiation.

So I'm confident that
if we detect some,

we can prove the existence
of spectral beings.

Can you show us the inside
of the other buildings now?

Right this way.

We'll go see
solitary confinement next.

Welcome to solitary,
or Siberia as it's called here.

Uh-oh, no.

That's creeping me out
so I'm just gonna stay out here.

Wasn't gonna fit
in there anyways.

Yeah, I'm good too.

Three prison
guards were murdered in there

by an inmate.

How did that happen?

No one
knows for sure.

Cell door was locked when the
bodies were discovered inside.

This door only locks
from the outside.

Guards all had
their keys in their pockets.

I sure would like to know
what happened,

but I guess I'll never know.

Oh, why is that?

Besides the fact
it happened over 80 years ago,

and we still haven't
figured it out?

Do you know why you were the
last to be given a film permit?

Uh, no.

They're
tearing this place down.

Gonna put condos here.

Land is worth more
to the state by selling it

than by keeping it as a museum.

So, we really are
gonna be the last people

to capture the spirits
that reside here.

I wish, or we'll be
the last to finally prove

that there's
nothing here at all.

Give me a camera,
I'll set it up.

You know I'm pretty
good at holding big sticks,

I can help you
with that if you want.

Yeah, okay.

Uh, not getting a really
good signal here, you guys.

The walls of
this building are pure concrete.

Therefore, any signal is gonna
have a challenge in here.

A lot of things
have issues in here.

Will it work?

Yeah, it'll work.

I'll take you
to death row next,

it's the part of the prison
that's had the most sightings.

What? What's up?

- Did you hear that?
- Did I hear what?

It was...

Here it is,
death row.

Home of some Idaho's
most nefarious criminals.

As you can see,
these cells aren't

exactly very accommodating.

Hm. I think I'd rather hang

than be stuck
in one of these cells.

Whoa! I couldn't
fit in there when I was ten.

My mom used to feed me a lot
of mashed potatoes and gravy.

I don't think they were
exactly designed for comfort.

Ugh, but it's better
than those solitary cells

where they had to
sleep on the floor.

The guards weren't very sympathetic
to the death row inmates.

They really used to fu...

mess with these guys.

Used to drag their Billy clubs
along these cell bars.

Clink, clink, clink.

Every time they walked
up and down this hallway,

clink, clink, clink.

Drove some of those inmates
nuttier than they already were.

And if they complained,
off to Siberia they went.

Are you hearing anything?

No, but we'll all
moving and talking,

so maybe I should get room tone.

Oh, good idea. So we'll all
be quiet for a moment.

So what we're doing is
we're gonna all be quiet

and we're going to
get room tone.

That's going to give us a nice
baseline audio sound for this room.

That way if anything happens
outside of that

we'll be able to hear it
easier on playback

while we're watching and listening
to the stationary camera,

so, shh.

Room tone, death row.

What you doing?

Cut room tone.

We are recording room tone.

So we can get a nice base level

of what this room
normally sounds like.

Room tone,
death row, take two.

What if I normally talk
in this room?

Cut.

Dude, it doesn't matter, okay?

We need to get this,
we need absolute quiet.

Yeah, quiet everybody.
Room tone.

Room tone death row,
take three.

Action room tone.

Stop, stop it.

You guys should have
seen the look on your faces.

Where did you even get that?

This?

Yeah, that.

- Oh, whatever, man!
- Guys please can we get this,

because I need it.

Room tone,
death row, take four.

Got it. Cut room tone.

Guys ready to see
the hanging and drop room?

Absolutely.

Before we do that,

let's set up a stationary camera
over there

so that we can get this hallway.

Did you know
that it was the Idaho drop room

where the phrase 'drop like
a hot potato' was coined?

I did not know that.

You guys
are so gullible.

Hey, sorry I can't
help out more, you know.

- Got all this gear.
- No problem.

You told me once that you joined the
team because of a friend of yours.

I'd like to hear the story about
your friend, if you don't mind.

Yeah, friend isn't
the right word.

We were closer than that.

I've always been a tech geek.

I was ecstatic when

they assigned me to
the mobile radar unit.

We would set up near hotspots
to track enemy drones

and small surface
to surface missiles.

That's where I met Chris.

Your friend?

Mobile radar is
a two person crew.

One watches the display
while the other

has down time to
sleep in the truck,

or eat, or read.

But we still spent
a lot of time together,

even when one of us
was on down time.

We had a lot in common.

It wasn't long before
both of us realized that

we had deeper feelings
for each other.

Then what happened?

We had troops that

kept the area around the unit
free of hostile forces.

I don't... I don't know
how he got through.

But in the middle of the night a
hostile with a shoulder missile launcher

appeared on the hills above us,
and he fired on the unit.

And Chris was manning
the radar at that time?

It was my shift, Jacob.

I don't understand.

I switched with him.

I was tired,

I didn't get a lot of sleep
the night before

and I wanted a few more hours.

It should have been me
out there.

It should have been me.

Chris died because I was tired.

It's okay. Here.

No, it's okay.
I'm good, I'm good.

Anyways, they discharged me
and sent me home.

And I was really lost
when I got back.

Like really lost.

And I've never been religious,

but I wanted to know if
there was something more.

So I joined the first paranormal
group I could find,

which happened to be you guys.

What was that?

Sara, you okay?

I thought I saw something.

Someone hanging.

Let's go to the drop room.
See if he's there.

It's more like
a cow shower.

Why the drain?

It's for the defecation.

What?

She's right.

They'd drop, neck would snap,

they'd shit themselves

and the drain is there
to clean up the mess.

Oh, lovely.

Let's go ahead and set up
a stationary camera in here

to capture the room.

I think we're
wasting our time here.

When you think about it,

if I'm a ghost

and I could choose anywhere
in this prison to haunt,

I'm sure as hell not going
to want to stay around,

pun intended, this shit hole.
Literal shit hole.

Interesting hypothesis.

I mean, look,

your neck snapped
in a violent death,

you shit yourself as you went.

You really going to want to hang
around here like it's the Ritz? No way.

That actually
kind of makes sense.

Never thought I'd hear
you say that.

I mean, we still have the cameras
set up in the death row cell block.

And I'm sure those inmates
were in constant fear

of their impending deaths, so

there's probably some
emotionally based

residual spectral energy there.

Maybe you guys aren't
as dumb as you look.

Thank you.

So, you obviously agree with me
that there are no ghosts here.

Hey.

What did the other teams
claim they found?

They all said they saw
something, so I heard.

So you heard?
You weren't with them?

Listen honey,
I've been here a long time.

I don't normally do
these late night things.

Only did it because they're
tearing this place down

and wanted,
just wanted to tonight.

What's with
this mannequin?

His name
is Black Wolf.

He was Mary Beth Flake's
arch enemy.

Why did she hate him?

He wasn't white.

Hey guys, I'm set.

Here's the laundry room.

The mangle table.

Inmates use this
to insert clothes

so they can do
hot steam presses.

A lot of inmates
got their arms ripped off

in feeding clothes
into that thing.

This is where a lot of
the sightings were?

Actually, over in this room.

This is where people have
claimed to see a lot of spirits.

You look through there,
you'll see the shower room.

Many men died in there,

especially
during the final riot.

The one in '73,
closed this place down.

No living human's been in
that room in over 20 years.

What was that?

It's a fog machine
and a tape recorder.

What?

Yeah, those are on a loop.
They're, uh...

They're there to give the tourists
the ambience of the laundry room.

Okay well, I'm going to set
this camera up here.

You okay?

Yeah.

It's still not
going to get anything.

Okay, let's see
what we got.

This one?

Let's...

Whoa, look, look, look.

Go back. The laundry room.

What did you see?

He didn't see anything.

What the...

That's probably just
the Park Ranger messing with us.

Wasn't me.

We need to go check this out.

You're getting all this right?

Yeah.

How'd you do that?

Listen, I may have

embellished the mangle table
deaths some,

and sure I kind of knew
the sounds were going to play,

and the steam
was going to hiss.

But I can honestly say I am
not making anything move

in the laundry room.
And I swear on my death,

it is not me
making that shadow appear.

I believe you.

And I don't.

Look, look, look.
The light turned blue.

What do we do now?

Exactly what we came here to do.

Make Matthew look good.

Fine.

We did it.

Curious.

It's unplugged.

Sorry, it's just me.

You good?

I'm good. I'm good.

I think we really do need to
check the cameras.

There's definitely something
happening here.

I'll catch up.

Yeah.

Need to prep
the SKEPTC.

Everything
associated with Mary Beth Flake

involved four red roses.

The rose bush outside of
this cell block

has four roses blooming on it
year round.

Why are there
only three roses?

Are you guys trying to get us
kicked out of this place?

Look, I think
it's just adorable

that you two have
a crush on Ashley.

But cutting one of the roses
goes completely

against our contract with
the Historical Society.

What are you talking about?

No one gave me a rose, Sara.

Okay.

No more ghosts for that woman.

Roses aren't in season.

Residual roses.

Oh, yeah. Residual roses,
that must be it.

Legend has it that
when the roses start to go away,

shit is about to hit the fan.

What is that?

It's a blueprint of the prison.

Where did you get that?

In Mary Beth Flake's cell.

The one that's locked
and nobody has access to?

Yes, Matthew, that one.

Look, look, there's
pencil markings right here.

So you just went
into Flake's cell

and the blueprint
was sitting there?

Actually, no,

rose petals led me
to Mary Beth's cell.

And then when I got in there,
there was a tear in the mattress

and the blueprint was in there.

Of course,
that makes total sense.

So, who would do that,
and why?

You know what, we're close.

I can feel it. We're close.

Oh my God!

Do you know why there would be
blueprints in Mary Beth's cell?

Mary Beth
wouldn't want you in her cell.

You may be getting help
from the other side.

She has it in for
four people at the prison,

and they hated her right back.

Hey, be sure to capture
the action, Matthew.

All of that is recording,
I'm capturing plenty.

Whoa, whoa.
What was that?

What?

There.

Was that there before?

No, no. That was definitely
not there before.

That is not creepy at all.

Matthew,
will you go check that out

and we'll just
watch the monitor?

Yeah.
Jacob can come with me.

Come on.

Follow me.

Hello up there.

I thought you said
that never worked.

Nothing. All right,
looks like we're good.

Let's go.

Hey,

way to investigate.

You really
think something's up there?

I don't know man, maybe.

Hmm.

So Sara's got you believing
that stuff too, huh?

How many investigations
have we been on

where we've had
any hard evidence?

I don't know.

You have to admit,
this one seems a little weird.

Yeah.

I think Ashley's starting
to pick up on something here.

I doubt it.

When she and I were
having coffee last week

she didn't mention believing
in any of that stuff.

It really didn't come up,

it was more of
a personal conversation.

What the hell
is he talking about?

We never had coffee.

Hey, can we get up there?

Uh, it is behind
this locked area, so no.

Well, how are we supposed to
investigate if we can't get up there?

Listen, it's like the Ranger
said, it's just a...

Whoa.

Did you see that?

Yeah, the cell door slammed,

was super loud.

And do cell doors
slam all by themselves?

When there's
a breeze in the cell block.

A breeze.
Are you serious?

Yeah, well, I wish
we had walkie talkies.

Matthew says
they're not in the budget.

Yeah, but I'm sure
his hair cream was.

Good one.

Whoa. Where'd they go?

Yeah.

Matthew?

Matthew!

Dude, not funny.

I want your brains.

Contacts.

I've been saving them
for something like this.

The look on your face,
priceless.

You are a dick.

What'd I do?

You know that
this is her thing, right?

Sara believes
in the paranormal.

I know,
but the show is called

'The Skeptic and the Scientist'
for a reason.

I don't.

No, no. Actually,
the show is called

'The Skeptic and the Scientist'
because you have a trust fund

and you're paying for it.

If it were properly titled,

it would be called
'The Scientist and the Asshole.'

Now, now.
Don't fight.

Not really
your business.

Yeah, but I've
decided I kind of like you guys.

And I've got this idea,
I think you could help.

I'm not really in a position
to fund any new ideas.

Fair enough.

I fear dying in Siberia.

Hey, I heard a voice.

Don't pity me.

- No, I was going to say...
- I mean, he was right.

It's not like
SKEPTC's working.

- I...
- It's not like we found anything.

I think I just...

What am I doing wasting
all of my time with this?

Did you know my mom died
when I was ten?

No.

The night after she died

I was crying in my pillows,

and I felt something sit
at the end of my bed.

At first I just thought
it was my dad

coming to check on me,

but then I...

I looked up and

it was my mom.

It was real.

It was very real.

And what happened?

I mean, nothing really.

She didn't reach out for me
or say anything. She just...

...stared, as though to tell
me that she was all right.

And that I was going
to be all right.

And then she just faded away.

I'm sorry, what were you
trying to tell me before?

Oh! Let's just
not go back to Siberia.

Here... Here, tissue.

- Is it clean?
- I'm not sure, it's...

Thanks anyway.

No worries.

Well, we'll probably find
something a little bit more

- exciting in death row, so.
- Yeah.

- Let's go.
- All right.

When my little brother
died, my mom hired a psychic

for like basically the same
thing. You know, she just,

she wanted to know.
And, uh,

the psychic told us that
when spirits stick around

they want to know they're at
peace with their passing.

And my little bro was.

I didn't know that
about your little brother.

Hey well,

we all have our own stories.

Yeah.

Hey c'mon, let's go check out
that camera in Siberia.

- Okay.
- Yeah.

Whoa.

It says here when they used to
use these cells for

solitary confinement they didn't
have any pre-assigned times.

What does that mean?

Apparently, it means when they threw you
in here you didn't know for how long.

Could be a day, a week,
or a year. They never told you.

Well, that's
some bullshit.

Indeed. No wonder
these guys went crazy.

Hey, don't lock me in here.

I would never.
I'm not Matthew.

Thank god.

What the...

Oh.

Holy shit.

Nope, nope. Mm-mmm.

I am done.

Sara.

Sara.

What is your connection
to Siberia? Show yourself.

I did not sign up
for this.

I'm done. Done.

Whoa. Whoa, whoa.
Where's the fire?

No, no, no. I'm done man,
I'm done. No more.

Wait, what happened?
Where is Sara?

I don't know.

Oh, hey.
Did you see anything?

I know that somebody
doesn't want us in Siberia.

Did your doohickey
turn blue?

No, I left it
in death row.

Hey, come here.
It's okay.

Listen, your worth is
not tied to the SKEPTC, Sara.

I know that I can figure
this out, and I know

that the SKEPTC will work again.
And when it does,

I'm the one that's going to be
funding this channel.

I am not dying
in Siberia.

Jacob, I really think that
we're onto something.

You can't quit now,
we need you.

Yeah, stop being
such a wuss.

You're not helping.

You know, 17 film crews
have been in here.

Yeah.

Not a one of 17
got anything.

Okay, well that means that
if we don't, nobody else will.

This isn't real.
This is all in your heads.

- Guys, we're done. We're done.
- Yes.

- Sara, I love you,
- JACOB: Thank you.

but don't hold your breath on your
thingy saving this channel, okay?

If you don't
capture any ghosts on camera...

Then maybe we'll come back and do
an episode on one of the new condos.

What are we going to do?

We're going to capture as much
footage as we can while we're here.

We only have a few more
hours until daylight.

Ow, ow.

- What?
- God, ow.

Some feedback
or something.

- From where?
- God. Death row cell blocks camera audio feed.

- Maybe it was just a glitch.
- Pull up that camera.

- That doesn't look like a glitch.
- See. What feed is that?

Cell block four.

Do you hear anything?

- Yeah.
- What is it?

I don't know, beeping?

Let me listen.
Hey, my money, my headphones.

Go ahead.

It's not beeping, it's a chirping.
It's a smoke alarm.

Let's go check it out.
Jacob, please you have the camera.

I would really
rather not.

I'll go.
You ladies stay here.

- I don't think that-
- MATTHEW: Be right back.

Famous last words.

Wow, okay.
Not annoying.

What do you think of
room tone now, Ashley?

Okay. Open door.

I guess.

Is it annoying you?

What's he doing?

There's a beep,
so there's got to be a fire alarm.

What fire alarm?
We don't have fire alarms.

I know.

If you're...
Oh, oh!

Ow.

- It's locked in the cell.
- Come on.

- Hey!
- Stop!

What happened?
What happened?

- The mannequin, it...
- It what?

Okay. Ha-ha.
Very funny, Matthew.

Dude, we ran here thinking
you were hurt, man.

This is bullshit, okay?
I thought you said Ashley was behind you?

She was right there.

Look!

We don't have time for this, we have
to find a way to get out of here, okay?

We got to
get out of here.

We still need to
find Ashley.

Wait, Jacob, wait!

Don't leave me alone.

Ashley!
You're going to be... Ashley.

Ashley, you're going to be okay.
Come on.

Is she breathing?

Yeah. Yeah,
but she's not blinking.

Oh.

Ashley? Come on, come on.
There you go.

How did I get in here?

We were hoping
you could tell us.

Mary Beth Flake,
she told me to stay away from Siberia.

Stop!

Dude,
what are you doing?

I didn't believe and
now we are stuck here with them.

- We are not stuck here.
- Because he is gone, too.

He... No, you are fine,
Ashley's fine, he's going to be fine.

We just got to find him
and get out of here.

Can't, I can't,
I can't do it.

Hey, look at me.

Look at me.

You are Matthew Heights, okay?

You can do anything.
You're the man.

And we have more than enough
footage, so let's go, together.

Get the hell out of here,
get the ranger.

Okay.
Okay, okay, let's do...

What the hell was that for?

Just making sure you're
100%. Let's go.

What are we doing?

Uh,
he's at the end of the hall.

- What?
- Can you see anything else?

No.

Then let's go get him.

Let's go.

Are you okay?
Hey. Are you okay?

What happened?
What happened?

Go, go, go!

No, no.

This is not happening.

The door is locked.
There has to be a way out of here.

Just because you
say it doesn't make it true.

What do we do now?

There has to be some way out.
The inmate who escaped

found some way,
we just have to find it.

Wait, wait, wait. I thought
that was just one of those stories

- that you were telling us.
- No, that really happened.

- What? Okay.
- Do not mess with us.

I'm not. She figured a way
out of here, we just have to find it.

Are you sure someone
escaped this cell?

More sure
than you can imagine.

All right.

We need to figure this
out now.

Wait, you said that
she escaped somehow.

Does this have something to do
with the blueprint?

The inmate who killed those
guards and escaped was Mary Beth Flake.

Her father owned, among other things, the
largest construction company in the Northwest.

Helped build parts of this
prison in fact.

And you said that her father built
some of this prison, which buildings?

The administration building,
the hospital, the commissary and Siberia.

- Siberia.
- Oh, my God. Right here.

This is where the pencil
marks were.

Oh. This wall sounds like it's
made of wood, it's hollow.

Okay, all right.

Siberia.

What is that?

It's a blueprint
of the prison.

Where did you get that?

In Mary Beth Flake's cell.

Mary Beth Flake is the
one who didn't want us in here.

She's the only one who could have killed
the guards and escaped through these walls.

That's why she was so defiant during
her trial, she knew she could get out.

After six months of being here she spit on a
guard and they threw her in Siberia. Bingo.

Oh, my God.

But if Mary Beth killed those
guards and escaped through the hole then

how did they fix the wall?

There was a cover
up, literally and figuratively.

I think there had to be
some other story.

The roses, you know, the four roses
that were associated with her.

It's when Black Wolf took one of the four
roses that the truth started to unfold.

Black Wolf
was in for a petty theft charge

but Mary Beth Flake was working
with him in the laundry room,

accused him of raping her.

So he was put to death,
even though five other inmates swore...

He didn't
want to hurt us.

Black Wolf was driving us towards
Siberia to clear his name.

The official story was that three
guards were killed during a prison riot.

Some people hated one of those guards because
he developed a friendship with Black Wolf,

treated him like a human.

Shh,
you guys hear that?

No, I don't hear anything.

Exactly.

- Whoa, wait.
- It's all right.

I got you. I got this.

We just solved one of the
biggest mysteries ever.

All right.

All right,
nothing there. Okay.

All right, think we're good.

Now we know.

And now we go.

Need to see
if what we saw got recorded.

How's the
footage looking?

Yeah, we have
everything we shot

but we're also still
within the prison grounds.

How the hell did you get this?

We're lucky, I guess.

No, I
mean, how did you even get in?

Uh,
your guard let us in.

I don't think so.

The guard that was supposed to escort you
last night had an emergency appendectomy.

He was in the hospital.

I don't know what to tell you, man,
Shtog met us right on time and let us in.

- Shtog?
- Yeah, your guard.

We don't have a Shtog here,
smart ass.

- What?
- Shtog, Ian.

The ginger dude. His picture's
right on your office wall.

The men in that
picture died in a riot over 80 years ago.

Quit messing with me,
what's going on here?

The official story was that three
guards were killed during a prison riot.

Some people hated one of those guards because
he developed a friendship with Black Wolf,

treated him like a human.

All right, my friends,
we are finally free to go.

Hey, Sara, in case you
ever see this your device works.

But it only turns blue when there's
no humans around. Hashtag just saying.
