Stay Alive (2006) - full transcript

Loomis Crowley is testing the underground game Stay Alive with his friends Sarah and Rex. When the game is over, Loomis finds Rex and Sarah dead in their room, and he is pushed by a shadow from the staircase, breaking the banister and hanging the same way he died in the game. Loomis' sister, Emma, gives his game to his best friend, Hutch. They, and his friends Miller, Phineus with his sister October, Swink and Abigail play the game together. When Miller and Phineus die the same way they died in the game, the survivors disclose that the game is based on the life of the evil Countess Elizabeth Bathory. She was buried alive in the tower of her real state in the Geronge Plantation. With the police chasing them, and after the death of October, the survivors reach the house and try to find the corpse of the Countess to destroy her fiend.

No!

How was it?
I played this
game, "Stay Alive."

Seriously, man,
the sickest shit
since Fatal Frame.

It was creepy.
Really creepy.

Are you gonna
make it over here?

Can you come over?
You wanna come over?

Dude, look,
I'll come up this weekend,
we'll burn it solid.

I'll see you this weekend.
Late.

Shit, man.
Don't you knock?

All right. Whoops.

Shut the door, perv.



I found you in the game.
You got it good.

We haven't played
for hours.

OK.

This is not real.
Don't freak.

Hello?

Hello?

Rex?

Sar...

Sarah?

Rex! No!

Please!

Oh!

That was fast.
Hi. How are you?

Did you take care
of the marina report?
I was just about to.



Oh, don't bother.

He wants to see you right away,
and he's in one of his moods.

Happy birthday,
by the way.
Oh, merc darling.

Hi.

I was just gonna...
Over a month.

That's how long
I've been working on this.

Right? That's, uh...

That's 100...
that's 100 hours.

I'm sorry. I'll finish
the marina report
as soon as possible.

The ma... The what?

Marina report?
Yeah.

Oh, man.

Hm.
Hutch.
What?

You know what?
Have a seat.
Enjoy yourself. OK?

All right,
listen to me now, OK?

I hired you for one reason,
and one reason only.

Now, the walk-through
says I dump the ammo
and the boss dies.

I'm sorry. We're not
still talking about
Silent Hill 4, are we?

Yes.

OK. Damn.
All right.

Uh... I don't know
what else to tell you.
You got the hyperblaster?

Do I look like an asshole?
Yes, I have the hyperblaster.

Right, OK.
Yeah, dump it.

I mean, it's got unlimited
ammo, nullifies the secret...

Hey, can I get tomorrow off?

Let me think about that.

No, no, no. I need it
to get to the final boss.

Beat her up.
It's the way God intended.

You know, Hutch, if you put
as much effort into clerking
as you did into gaming,

you could end up
like me someday.
You know that, right?

OK.

All right,
you can take tomorrow.
How do I do it?

It's easier to kill her
without the blaster.

So lose it right before
going down the stairs.

She'll die on her own.
Game over.

All right.
OK. Hey, man,

are you hip to this
PDA sex thing?

I haven't got into that.

You've got a
phone call, Hutch.

Thank you.

I think that's
a vegetable.

Hello?

What?

Oh, Hutch.
I'm so glad that you came.
It means so much to me.

Today we lay
to rest Loomis Crowley...

Did you just take
a picture of me?
I did.

There are so many crying
faces at this funeral

and you seem the saddest,
but you weren't crying,

so I took a picture.

You and Loomis
must have been close.
Yeah, we were close.

I mean, we were so close, but...
Did you know Loomis?

Kinda.

I grew up with Sarah
back in Georgia.

I was supposed to hang out
with her that night.

Really?
Yeah, so was I.

I always thought I'd be
taking pictures on her
wedding day, not her funeral.

Looks like you're up.
Emma. Hi.

Hi.
How are you?
God, look at you.

You're so grown up.
How are you doing?

I'm OK. Um, here.

This is your brother's bag.
You don't want this?

Mom and Dad won't let me
play those video games.

They were gonna toss 'em.
You know, they're too violent.

Besides, he would
want you to have 'em.

Come here.
Take care,
all right?

OK.

Here. If you need to talk,
that's my number.

Hey, sunshine.
Hey.

Didn't think you'd
be back so soon.
Give us a kiss.

Sorry, Hutch.
Are you OK?

Yeah, I don't know.
It's hard to believe.

Tragedy, Hutch. I tell you, bro,
first your parents, now this.

God dealt the straws
and gave you a short one, man.

You know, Phin,
the problem with your mouth

is that stupid insensitive
shit comes out of it.
You're an idiot.

Be strong -
that's all I'm saying.

You know what I mean, bro?
You're a rock. I love you.

I love you too.

Who talks to their
brother like that?

Somebody with an
idiot for a brother.

Oh, my God,
you're a terrible person.

So, do they know
what happened yet?

He was murdered -
him and two of his friends.

That's awful.
What's in the bag?

Video games, pictures,
crap like that.
From Loomis?

Yeah.

No shit!
Is this you two?
Yeah.

Look at that.

Lighter works.

Gorgeous.
Dude, you can keep
that if you like it.

I'm sorry, Hutch.
You must have been adopted.

Thank you, Loomis.

So he was a real gamer, huh?

Yeah.
Any good titles in the bag?

I'm not sure.
Check it out.

Goddamn, y'all.

Stay Alive?
Never heard of it.

Yeah, that was the game
he was playing out
the night he died.

He asked me to come over and
play. I totally blew him off.

Hutch, come on.
You didn't know.
I know. It's just...

How'd he get his hands on it?
He did some beta-testing.

I beta-tested for a while.
It's awesome at first,
then it's goddamn monotonous.

Let's burn a
round for Loomis.

Are you an idiot?
I told you,
that'd be weird.

That was the last thing
he was doing before he died.

Hey, sack up, bro.

If Loomis was indeed
testing this game,

that means
it is barely legal.

Yeah, this could be nice.

Hey.
Jesus Christ!

Can Hutch come
out and play?

Swink, you scared
the crap out of me, man.

Why, yes, I'd love to come in.
Thank you for asking.

I wanna make sure
we're all set up.

So, uh...

I'm sorry, you know,
about your friend and all.

It...

stinks.

Thanks, man.
Look, it's all good.
No worries.

It'll be good to
hang out with you guys,
get my mind off things.

Hey. Ooh.

Dollface, is there something
you'd like to tell me?

Hey, you made it.
October, fellas,
this is Abigail.

She's kind of a friend
of Loomis's. She's gonna
hang out for a while.

What's up, mama?
What's up?
I gotta pee.

Oh, yeah.
It's right down the hallway.
Oh, sorry.

You all right?
Yeah, I'm good.

Girl has got
body karate going on.

Anyone who says size
doesn't matter never played
a third-person shooter.

You're a whore.

Here.
No.

What did you say?
Hey.

God, that thing is gay.
And it smells.

Don't worry,
I'll get your back.
Thank you.

Sweet Sebastian Bach,
I wanna play.

Bossman hooking up?

Miller, you signed in?
You there?
Yeah, I'm here.

Yeah, Loretta called my wife,
told her I got caught up
in a partner meeting.

All right, guys.
Enough chatter.

The name of this
game is Stay Alive.

We don't know much else,
other than we're not
supposed to have it.

Sit back down.

Bro!

Let's do it.

Dude.
Put your hands on it.

Disgusting.
Touch it.

She's stubborn.
Isn't letting me
get to the game.

Maybe you're supposed to read
that prayer right there.

Just a thought.
Voice No way.

That's next-generation
technology.
OK.

"Come to me, clouds."

Whoa.

What?

It's... it's like
a séance or...

Can we skip this bullshit
cinematic foreplay?

I wanna butter this muffin.

OK. Let's go.
Everybody say this, right?
OK.

"Come to me, clouds.

"May you rise as an evil storm
born to rip them open.

"Let the cover of night
bear witness and destroy
those who resist

"so they shall harm me not.

"Let the blood
of many cleanse me,

preserving beauty eternal,
I pray you."

Welcome.
If you're listening to this,

it means you've
made a grave mistake.

You spoke the words,
and soon you will die for it.

At this very moment,
the evil of this place

courses through your veins.

You have been marked for death.

Your choice
has brought you here,

to Gerouge Plantation.

200 years ago,
Countess Elizabeth Bathory

opened Gerouge as a finishing
school for young...

Gerouge.
You've heard of it?

Yeah. Grandma used to tell us if
we didn't get home before dark,

we'd get taken off
by something...

Yeah, but do you remember
Grandma used to wear panties
on the outside?

Seriously, though,
I know this, guys.
I've heard this story.

What happened to those
girls was so depraved

that all accounts were
stricken from public record.

The evil of Gerouge
has been reborn.

Your salvation lies
beyond the gates
of this plantation.

Your only chance is this:

uncover the horrible truth
about Gerouge Plantation

and stop the evil.

But, in order to do that,

you must stay alive.

My God.
I'm starting to get
a little creeped out.

Sh!
Shut the hell up.

Where the hell
are you going, bro?

Just trying to figure it out.

What is that?

Whoa.

You guys feel that?

Hell, yeah.
Feel it in my pants, baby.

Must mean we're
close to something.

Or something's
close to us.

Uh, you better
pull your weapon, bro.

Somebody do something.
Swink?

No, I'm good.

How do you kill her?
She's already dead. Look out!

When fear cripples you,

when death's shadow
surrounds you,

drop a rose.

It will help you stay alive.

Right. It'll give us a chance
to escape ghosts we can't face.

Undead can't cross
the twig of a wild rose.

That is what you learn when you
read too much goth chick-lit.

You should lay
off the incense, sister.

And the game's fun,

but it kind of moves
along at a snail's pace.

Left, go left.
Left! On your left!

Left! Left!
Goddamn it, you noob!

OK, and you eat my nails,
and you eat my nails.

Go round the mausoleum, man.
Nice. And eat this.

Come on!

Sweet Jesus, these dead bitches
are coming out in droves.

Miller, the Bathory tomb,
in front of you.

Do not close the door, man.
Do not close the door.
No! Oh, my God!

Hello, Mumsy.

Whoa, whoa.
What's that?
What's... where?

There. Is something
in that wardrobe?
Oh, nice eye.

Thank you.

Congrats, Abs.

It's a secret
room or something.

Is that a diary?
Yeah.

The one from the beginning
with the prayer in it.

Miller, are you OK?

Yeah. No, I'm good.

Are you in those tunnels again?
There is no action there.
The doors are locked.

Well, they're open now.
You know, I'm exploring,
tearing shit up.

Ownin' fools.
"Ownin' fools"?

I'm telling you,
my controller is vibrating.

You'd better drop a rose.

Now I'm out of...
I'm out of...

I'm out of goddamn roses, man.

Tell us what you see
before you book it.

Some sort of sick
torture room or...

God, man.

I just saw a flash
of dead girls, or...

Goddammit, man.

She got me.
One of the girls?

Some woman, man.

I think it was the dame
from the painting.
You know, that countess.

I didn't even get a chance
to fight her, man.

Where's the torture chamber?
I went through
a secret entrance.

Hey, are you gonna try
and get back in the game?

Well...

Hey, is somebody out there?

Miller,
who are you talking to?
I don't know.

Probably some goddamn
rent-a-cop trying to scare
the shit out of the living.

You know what they say.

You play the game too long,
you start seeing shit.

You know,
or have seizures.

Games could
cause seizures.

Perceptive reality,
on the other hand,

has yielded some
interesting studies.

And you've
read them all.

I have. It seems
the longer you play,

the more your mind
perceives the game world
to be a reality.

It's interesting,
but it's only a theory.

But then there's
retinal memory, which...

That is so fascinating,
sweetie,

but I'm feeling like
we should call it a night.

Yeah, some of us
have gotta be at work.

All right. Miller,
you can rejoin us, then.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll check my schedule.

Thanks again for hanging,
you guys.

I really needed it.

To Loomis.
To Loomis.

To Loomis.

All right. OK. OK.

Perceptive reality.

Hutch!
Loretta.

What's going on?
What's going on?

What's going on?

It's Miller.

Miller?

Miller. Miller!

Hey, it's a crime scene.
You have to clear out.

Can I get a damn
curtain over here?

I just spoke to him
a few hours ago.
Whoa. A few hours ago?

Get off me.

All right, buddy.
Come on. Come on.

Thanks.

I know this kind
of thing ain't easy, son.

I'm gonna try
to be quick about it.

You were here
with Mr. Banks last night?

Uh, no. I was at my house.
We were playing a video game.

Oh.

His wife said that
he was working late.

Yeah, sorry.
What I meant was,

he was playing from here
and I was at my place.
Uh-huh.

Just the two of you?

I was with four friends.
We were online.

Uh-huh.

Make sure we get those names.
Roger that.

Do you live close
Yeah, uptown.
Off Magazine.

Oh, yeah?
That's only ten minutes away.

Those figures could place you
at the scene of the crime

Charlie, chill.

I just wanna know
what happened to him.
All right?

All right, now.

OK, if you ever need
to give me a call,

my name is Detective Thibodeaux.

I may need to speak
with you again.

And I'm sorry
about your friend.

Thanks.

All right.

Sweet shit!
Get a load of this!

I think I've
found bossman's body.

Oh, God!
That's off-putting.

Didn't you just say
Miller was stabbed?

Man, I can't look at this.

I'll have to quit
hanging around with you.

I'm sorry. Phin,
if you had any less sense,
you'd be half a penny.

Now shut the goddamn game up.

Because we found
Miller's body in it?
It is a horror survival game.

I hate to be a dick,
but I think you guys are
overreacting a little bit.

Would you show
some respect, man?
Respect?

You pay respect
to gamers by gaming,

so let's boot it up.
To Miller.

You're not playing
for Miller or Loomis.

You didn't even
know those guys, right?

If you wanna curl up
in the fetal position
for the day, fine,

but don't expect me to.

As for you, I just met you
yesterday, so kiss my ass.

Phin!
What?

Look, why don't you
guys get out of here

and let me play in peace?

Peace.

Hey, take it easy.

I'm sorry.

Are you OK?

I'm just having
a hard time, you know?
Yeah.

Abigail, what's your story?
We don't know much about you,

other than you
can't game for shit.

Well, I grew up in Georgia.

My dad's an architect
and my mom's a kindergarten
schoolteacher.

I'm going to Princeton
in the fall.

Sounds like you've got
a perfect little family.

I don't know about perfect.

Uh...
Sorry. I'm sorry.

Are you all right?
Yeah.

I've got a thing with fire.
It's a long story. No big deal.

What's up?

Finding Miller's
body in the game...

Look, I'm no gamer,

but there are only
so many ways you could
die in a video game.

It's all just
really bad timing.

Not really. In a sense,
the timing is bad because
he overresponds to deaths.

But the coincidence
of finding Miller's game body
and his real body was perfect.

That's why we're freaked out.

It's better
in single player anyway.

Dickheads.

All right, Countess, let's go.

There you are.
Oh, you hate mirrors. I forgot.

You can't break this one.

Maybe timing had
nothing to do with it.

Maybe it was inevitable.

Possible homicidal replication
on a sociopathic level.

Where are you going?

Loomis and his friends were
playing that video game the
night they died. Now Miller.

What are the chances of all
of them being murdered right
after playing that game?

Jesus, if Phineus is playing...

Come on, honey.
You've gotta relax.
It's just bad timing.

Swink said maybe timing
has nothing to do with it.

Did I say that? I have
a penchant for big theories.
Don't listen to me.

Phineus!
Phin! Oh, my God!

What are you doing, man?
I'm pulling this bitch.
What's it look like?

What if Loomis and Miller...
Was more than a coincidence?

They both played the game
and then they died, so...

obviously the video game
killed them, right?

Are you serious, man?
Listen to yourself.
Phin.

I was ready to bite it anyway.
Check this mirror I found.

I flipped it. The back works
like a mirror, but it won't
break like the others.

I think it's made
out of polished silver.

I don't know.
You guys don't have one.

You've been through a lot
and you know I love you,

but you're freaking
everybody out now.

I know. Yeah.

Nice.

"No distinguishing marks."

Had a broken banister.

"Adjoined twin blades."

This is why I'm missing
my G4techTV weekend wrap

Hot sugar.
We had this conversation.

Call me crazy,
call me paranoid,

I don't give a shit.
Just look at this.

Why isn't Phineus showing?

He said he'd be here,
so he'll be here.

OK. So we all saw that Miller
was stabbed to death.

The cops think he was
stabbed with shears.

Loomis's friends too.

Sarah - her body
was drained of blood.

The police report said
Loomis's neck was broken,

and he was hung in the game.

They all died the same way
they died in the game.

This can't just
be some coincidence.

I don't like this at all.

I think you're right.

You know I told you
I heard the story
of Gerouge from my grandma?

This Elizabeth Bathory chick
was sick and twisted

and very real.

Guys, every detail of this game
is based on her real life.

The tower, the cemetery,
the torture chamber.

She'd hunt for victims
in a black carriage.

She'd gut them
with silver shears.

The shattered mirrors,
why were they broken?

She couldn't stand to see
herself get old. All facts.

All I care about is
finding out what happened
to Miller and Loomis,

and you are not helping.

As punishment, they walled
the bitch up in her tower alive

and here's the kicker.

The last thing she said
was that one day she'd be back.

So what if she's back
and killing us one by one
after we die in the game?

This is insane.
Listen to yourself.

You don't want
to listen to me, fine.

All I care about is:
Where the hell is Phineus?

* Close your eyes

* I want to ride the skies

* In my sweet dreams

* Close your eyes

* I want to see you tonight

* In my sweet dreams

Funky.

Is anybody out there?

Phin, are you OK?

Yeah, I'm awesome.
Phin, it's Hutch.
Where are you?

I was on my way,
but my whip got stuck
out on River Road.

I'm just south of
Binky's Adult Store.
I'll drive.

Who's that
Yeah.

What's up, mama?
What's up?

Swink, when you were talking
about perceptive reality,

were you talking about
hearing or seeing things,
or both?

Both. It's bizarre.
Retinally speaking...

Shut up. I've not tripped
out like this since I ate
that matzo ball at Bible camp.

Hey, Phin, hang on.
We're coming to get you.

Let's go.

You didn't die in the game.
I'll be right there.

That's right!
I didn't die in the game, baby.

Hey.

Wait a minute.

In the game,
she only comes at night.

Is anybody out there?

OK, we're close.
Look for his car.

Stop, stop, stop.
Stop! Wait.

Phin!

Phin.

Jesus. Phineus died
exactly the same way
he died in the game.

Need to tell me something?

This is...

This is gonna
sound crazy,

but this game,
Stay Alive,

is about
the Gerouge Plantation

and a woman,
Elizabeth Bathory.

I think I know that
ghost story, yeah.

OK. Phineus was run over
by a carriage in the game.

Miller died the same way
he died in the game too.

Wait, wait, wait.
Wait a minute, kid.

I got this game
last week from a friend.

Him and two of his friends
were murdered the same way
they died in the game.

Now, explain that.

Right.

That's the Crowley case,
over in Church Point.

You lived with
that family, right?

After what happened
with your folks?
Yeah.

You talked to that Crowley kid
the night he was murdered?

You know I did,
Detective.

Technically,
anybody can hack into...

Shut up.

Let's take a walk.

Let's see why
you're so scared.

I don't think...
Shut up.

How do you do this thing?
You have to read that.

All right.
"Come to me, clouds.
May you rise as..."

There must
be a connection.

Oh, yeah, there is, Hutch.
Look, I already told you...

I'm telling you.
Friend or no friend,
game or no game,

next time I see you
on a crime scene,
I'm gonna take you in.

I wonder how you would feel
if that was your friend.

Someone you cared
about, Detective.

I would let the cops
do their job.
Hey!

Hey, don't play that game.

Hey! Come on! Come on.

I just think it would
be better if no one plays.

I can see,
at your tender age,

something like this
might scare you.

Come on.
Come on.
I got it.

All right.

I'm gonna look
into this,

but you're gonna
have to go home, Hutch.

Why don't you
lock that kid up?

He rode up on a carriage and
mowed down the girl's brother?

This game business
sounds like bullshit.

That's great.
That's just really stupendous.

I know it!
We all know it!

Something's happening,
something bad!

Swink,
shut the hell up!

You're not helping, man.

Why did you have to bring
that game into our lives,
Hutch?

Why?

October.

My brother was
all that I had.

That kid meant everything to me,
and now he's gone.

October...

I didn't know.

I didn't know.
I'm so sorry.

I don't want anybody
else to get hurt.

Neither do I.

So we have
to do something.

Hutch, I want you
to find out everything
you can about this game.

OK. I can start
with Loomis's house.

I need to stay with Swink
and take care of some things
for Phin.

Are you OK? Are you sure
you're up to this?

Hutch,
somebody ran my brother down
in a horse-drawn carriage.

I'm gonna find whoever
did it and hurt them.

OK.

Abigail, stay with Hutch.
But if anything
happens to him...

And we don't play that game,
not for a second.

Hey, a little help here.

Let me guess. Your wife
and kids are driving you nuts.

Need something to take
the edge off? Something
with a high frag-count.

Do I look 12, man?
I take it you
don't play, then.

I retired after I won
the Greater Louisiana
Q bert tournament.

Oh, Q ber huh?
Great.
Yeah, listen.

I need information
on a horror game
called Stay Alive.

Stay Alive?
Never heard of it.

Maybe it's underground.
Do you know who made it?

Probably some basehead
in his mom's attic.

You know,
a game is just an extension
of the mind that created it.

You wouldn't play a game
by Charlie Manson.

No. Probably not.

Maybe you already have.

Yeah. Yeah, I got nothing.

It's probably some sort of
underground game or something.

Yeah, right.
Hey, so, listen,

I'll talk to you
in a little bit,
all right?

She must have left
at least one of these
windows open.

How do you know that?
I lived with the Crowleys
for a while.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, it was like,
you know, Loomis's house
just felt like home.

Yeah, I used to kinda run here
when things got, you know...

You don't have
to talk about it.
No.

My dad went a little nuts,

thought my mom was sleeping
around, which she wasn't.

He figured if she wasn't
gonna be with him,

she wouldn't be with anybody,

so he set the place on fire.

Just torched it.

The firemen barely got me
out alive, but my mom...

She was still in bed
when they found her.

I tell myself
if I'd been a little older

or a little braver,
I would've...

I would've stopped him.

I didn't move.

When he gets out,
he'll be 76.

Ain't nothing
like family.

This window's open.

So that's why
you're scared of fire?

That's why I hate fire.

I'll go around
to the front door, OK?
OK.

Come on. Come on, come on.

Let's just check out
Loomis's room.

What could we
find in here that the cops
haven't already found?

They didn't know
where to look.

Huh.

What?
What is it?

It's the game company
Loomis tested for,
where he got the game.

Scary.

I found the address
for the game company.

Tell me where
1420 Cypress Road is.

Not a problem.
Let's see.

Take the Belle Chasse
Highway to Breaux Bridge,
near Spanish Lake.

Look, we're heading
to the game developer.

I've been reading this book
called The Malleus Demonium.

What?
It means
"The Witch's Hammer."

It was a handbook for witch
hunters in the Inquisition.
It says if we find her,

we need to put three nails
through her heart,
neck, and then forehead.

The nails are gonna
put her human spirit
back into her body,

and then this is really,
really important, you guys -

an undead soul is only cleansed
by burning its blood.

So you think her ghost
could've been brought back?

It's like a séance. A strong
enough spirit can be brought
back with the proper text.

I just can't believe this.

Detective Charles King
was murdered today
at Clearwater Mall.

O

Sources say
this murder may be linked...

Oh, my God!
The cop, King, he's dead.

What?

We've got another problem.

Oh, God.
The police are here.

OK, OK.
Meet us at Loomis's.

Loomis's?
He's right.

If you don't wanna
go to jail, go now.
Jail?

Now! Come on!

Give it to me.

Toss the apartment.

What have we got?

You remember her diary?
Her diary?

Yeah, in the game.

What if that's it?
What?

The proper text.

That would mean that...

This is not about some ghost.

You expect me to believe we
conjured up her evil spirit
with a game séance?

To start, we all
had to recite that prayer.

That just...
It's highly unlikely.

What is it,
Swink?

October and I were
talking about this.

I don't know.
Maybe she's onto something.

Why is the game on?
What?

The game.

I didn't turn it on.

I told you not to play.

Where's October?
She's out smoking.

But you said if we didn't
play the game we'd be fine.

I thought those
were the rules.

I don't know what the rules are.
Maybe there aren't any. October!

It's not possible.
I didn't play.
None of us did.

If nobody played the game,
that means...

The game's
playing by itself.

OK.

October!

October!

Shit!

No!

Let me go!

October!
October!

October!

Help me!

October!

Let me go!

Open the window!
Come on!

Come on!

Go fuck yourself.

Come on.

It's open. It's open.
October!

Oh, no! No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no! No, no, no!

You're gonna be OK.
You're gonna be OK.

I can fix this.
I can fix this.
No, no, no,

Goddammit! Please,
don't do this to me!

I shouldn't have
left her alone.

This isn't
your fault, Swink.

This is all my fault.

You should've left
when you had the chance.

Your life was
perfect before this.

My dad's not an architect.

What?
My dad's not an architect.

My mom doesn't
teach first grade.
You mean kindergarten?

Whatever. I'm not
heading to Princeton.

Pretty much everything
I said was bullshit.

So this van is...

Home sweet home.

I hate telling people the truth
and watching them get
embarrassed for asking.

We gotta end this.

We gotta stop it.

I don't think
we have much time.

You're right.
We don't have a lot of time.

We need to find her body.

Which means we need
to find her tower.

Whoever made this game
knows everything about
Elizabeth Bathory.

They're the ones who are
gonna know exactly where
her plantation really is.

Hey! Swink,
what are you doing?

It's obvious we have to
stay alive in the game
until we end this.

One of us has to play.

If you die in the game...

Something won't let us
stop playing. Am I right?

If it's gonna play with
or without us, at least
I can use myself as a decoy.

I can protect us.

Let's go.

All right, buddy,
you know what to do.
Stay alive.

Game time.

This thing is gay.

This is where
they made Stay Alive?

It seems like
a strange place
to make a game.

Come on.
Let's go.

Hello?

Hold on. I'm gonna
check it out, OK?

Wait here.

Oh, my God.

Holy shit.

Thank God, man.
Tell me you haven't
died in the game.

No, we're fine.
The place is deserted.

OK, I need you
to get to the back door.

I'm not really
sure where that is.

What room are you in?
Some kind of parlor.

All right. Hold on.

You're looking
at two entries?
Yeah.

Move through the archway,
not the doorway,
back into the hall.

There should be
a staircase to the right
and the kitchen to the left.

What's going on, Swink?
How do you know all this?

Just pay attention.
All right, go through the
kitchen and out the back door.

Just keep walking until you see
the steps with the statues.

Do you see
the iron gates?

Uh, yeah,
I see them.

Just like the game.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

This is Gerouge Plantation.

We're in the bitch's backyard.

Elizabeth.

What does this mean, Hutch?

It means her body's
up in that tower.

No shit.

Elizabeth's diary.

All these girls.
She killed them all.

Abigail's in trouble upstairs.
Which way do I go?

Uh...

It's faster to take
the staircase around the side.

OK.

It's locked! It's locked.
I need a crowbar or something.

Do you
see one on the step?

You gotta be kidding me.

Which way?
Right, to the bedroom.

Aw, come on, Swink.

I can't get in.
It's locked.

Wait. Wait.
I have a key.

This is...

Insane. Now go!

Hutch!

I don't think I'm
gonna make it. Help me.
I know. I see her.

Let me try something.

It's all right.
It's all right.

It's OK.
It's all right. It's OK.

What happened?
Are you guys all right?

Yeah. You saved
her life, man.

Goddamn sweet!
So, what now?

We need three nails.
And one last thing.
Remember what October said.

The way to cleanse a witch's
soul is to burn her blood.

Wait. The roses.

If you're gonna go up there,
you can't forget the wild roses.

You never know,
and I bet...

No! No!

Hell, yeah!

Swink!

Come on, you bitch.

Oh, shit.

Bitch, that's cheating!
I'm not dead yet.

Go!

Swink!
Swink!

Swink!
Help me!

Get away!
Get away from me!

Swink!

Hutch, I'm sorry.

OK, we're gonna need a hammer.

Come on.
Quick!

Open the door!

Hutch, come on.
Come on! Hutch!

Thanks, Swink.

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

It's OK.
It's all right.

OK?

I'm gonna go first.
Stay right behind me.
OK.

It's OK.

Wait. Did you hear that?

OK. All right.
All right, all right.

Come on.

This way.
This way.

There should be
a second door in here.

This should be the tower.
Yeah, come on. Let's go.

Hutch!

It won't open.
Oh, no! Open it!

OK. OK, wait,
wait, wait.

Let me think.
Let me think.
I can get this open.

How?
I don't know.
Just give me a second.

Hutch. Hutch!
It's just a... What?

We don't have the time!

Just think about it.
You gotta finish this.

No.

Listen.
I'm not leaving you.

Hutch.

I want you to go.

You're our only chance.

OK?

This can't be happening.

Well, it is.

I won't let her take you.

I know.

You be careful of that.

OK.

He loves me,

he loves me not.

He loves me,

he loves me not.

He loves me,

he loves me not.

He loves me...

Go away!

Go away!

No! Go away!

Hutch!

The broken mirrors -
why were they shattered?

She couldn't stand
to see herself grow old.

It won't break
like the others.

I think it's made
out of silver or something.

Mom!

Hutch!
Come on! Move!

Come on, hurry.
Move! Come on, man!

Move!
Hutch!

Come on.
Come on, man! Come on!

Come on!
Come on, Hutch!

Killer.

Come to me, clouds.

May you rise as an evil storm
born to rip them open.

Let the cover of night
bear witness

and destroy those who resist

so they shall harm me not.

Let the blood
of many cleanse me,

preserving beauty eternal,

I pray you.
