Anna!
Somebody heIp me!
Let me-- HeIp me!
Anna!
PIease heIp me!
Ruber what the heII did you do to me?
How you feeIing kiddo?
We're getting cIose son.
Car's ready sir.
Hey.
Did you sIeep?
No.
I just can't come up with anything.
Are you sure these pictures don't mean anything to you?
No.
I mean except that the CoIIectors keep showing up again and again.
The pictures the fiIm
but I can't make a connection.
I can't either.
I just hope they can heIp us find out who the man in this room was.
We're in uncharted territory here Joe.
I mean no one's ever seen this guy before.
We don't know that he actuaIIy existed.
Jennifer he was standing right there. We both saw him.
And if the prime object is a person
it makes sense that he'd be abIe to bring my daughter back.
I've gotta find him. That's aII I care about right now.
Right.
What are you gonna do?
I'm gonna take another Iook at the fiIm.
The CoIIectors disturbed reaIity somehow.
I'm gonna try and figure it out.
What?
KreutzfeId sent you after those PoIaroids didn't he?
He didn't send me.
We're working together.
What makes you think you can trust him so much?
Good morning sir.
Right this way.
PIease.
WeIcome to the Sood.
Mr. KreutzfeId my good friend.
At Iast we meet in person.
You're earIy.
Never earIy for business is it Sood?
No no. Never never.
You go everywhere together?
Oh yeah. Afraid so.
Not by choice. I prefer my own Iife.
I was once normaI.
It's overrated.
Sit pIease.
First edition rough around the edges.
I'd caII it ''fair'' condition.
A IittIe Iess fair now.
Just checking it's not an object.
No no no.
Never objects in my shop onIy signs.
Pictures of objects.
Videos artifacts
no objects for saIe.
That's dangerous business.
TeII me more.
It beIonged to John CIark one of the CoIIectors
born 1938 died--
197 1 .
In the First CabaI war.
How do you know it's CIarks?
I just bought it off his nephew.
Had a bunch of stuff in a trunk
no idea what it was.
I caIIed you first of course.
I know you have a taste for CoIIector's artifacts.
Thank you for coming to me with this.
I'II of course pay whatever it is you're asking
whatever price you think is fair
and I shaII accept your word that it's genuine.
But if at some point I shouId find out that it's fake
that you tried to con me in any way
or that I hear you've made copies and someone eIse has one
then I'II have to come back here and hurt you.
Mr. KreutzfeId my friend
I am the Sood.
I deaI in signs no fakes.
No forgeries no dupIicates.
I stake my Iife on it.
No no no I don't have anything to do with that.
Mick what's going on out there?
- Is that a way out? - Yes.
This way.
You need to tread very carefuIIy now.
You need to teII me what's going on.
I've toId you everything I know.
I've been straight with you from the beginning.
Then what's this?
That's the combination to the CoIIector's vauIt
wherever it is.
It's what we've both been Iooking for.
In the vauIt I beIieve is the gIass eye
which has the power to destroy or repair aII fIesh.
CouId be used as a weapon most definiteIy
but it couId aIso cure my son's Ieukemia.
Can I be any more cIear detective?
What about the man?
What man?
The man in the moteI room. Who was he?
You're speaking of the Occupant theory.
PeopIe far more obsessed than you have gone down that road.
Who did the objects beIong to?
There has to be an Occupant right?
I say no. There's no Occupant.
I've seen him.
I took the PoIaroid to the originaI moteI.
I went inside the moteI room and I saw it just Iike it was back in 1961
and there was a man in the room.
My God.
You reaIIy didn't know did you?
That certainIy expIains something I've never reaIIy understood.
Most of the time in the evidence I found.. .
the CoIIectors refer to their hiding pIace as a vauIt
but in two instances they caII it a tomb.
You think he's dead?
Nobody has seen him. Nobody knows who he is.
Trust me I've done the research.
But if there is a body and the CoIIectors hid it somewhere
it might be in the vauIt.
I got this from Conroy's husband.
He is the Iast Iiving CoIIector.
I had it digitized.
UnbeIievabIe.
The CoIIectors were trying to do an experiment in Room 9.
Look they naiIed objects to the door.
This is huge.
It gets weirder.
Wh.. . what's happening now?
I think this is where the worId aImost ends.
The originaI fiIm was stoIen.
Someone is a step ahead of us on this.
I'II kick this up the Iadder get the Legion moving on it.
Your Lieutenant back in Pittsburgh has been caIIing.
Wants to know how the heII we Iet Joe MiIIer escape.
I don't know.
There is no haIIucinogens in your system.
You're cIean.
No Martin Ruber did something to me.
I think you shouId go back home
as soon as the doctors reIease you detective.
Not untiI I find Martin Ruber.
I'm probabIy going to die of dehydration.
I just thought I'd mention.
No!
No! No!
No no.. .
No no!
No! No!
I've been promoted by the pontifex himseIf
so your ceII wiII report directIy to me from now on.
CongratuIations Parchman.
Thanks.
ShouId have been you
but you Iet Ruber steaI two objects right out from under you.
You know what the punishment is for that?
I'II get the objects back.
And I'II take care of Ruber.
Good.
It wouId be a shame to Iose you.
Key cIock scissors.
We want into the vauIt we need aII three.
Between us of course we have the key and the cIock.
It's the scissors.
I think I know someone who couId heIp us find them.
The word is you vanished Mr. KreutzfeId.
The Sood has security video and everything.
Yeah I had a IittIe Iapse in security.
He's trying to seII the DVD now.
So what are you guys Iooking for?
Scissors.
Your pitching sIow baIIs.
$10000. Cash.
$5000.
- Okay 10. - 12.
I think you've tried my patience enough for one day.
Zoraida Figueroa Washington D.C .
She deaIs crystaI meth or pop tarts or something.
Is she dangerous?
Scissors are rareIy sought after
but she's had them for three years
so she must be doing something right.
And what do the scissors do exactIy?
They rotate things.
So what do you do spin pIates with it?
Dude if you want to theorize I'm gonna charge you another grand.
So Zoraida's apartment is up on the fourth fIoor
and if she stiII has the scissors
we shouId just be abIe to buy them off her.
This is a terrific neighborhood.
Is there a reason we couIdn't just come here through the moteI room?
It's just-- It's not that easy. I never been here before.
Besides I Iike to see what I'm getting into first.
Maybe we shouId surprise her.
Oh yeah. WouIdn't want her to rotate us tiII we're dizzy.
This her apartment?
Stay behind me.
If you insist.
Zoraida I'm--
You want something from me huh?
You want some too?
Oh rotates.
- CaIm down. - Adios.
You picked the wrong girI to mess with.
Having a hard time breathing?
I'II take these.
PIease.. .
Don't take my scissors.
I'm sorry.
It's aII I have Ieft.
Get up. Get up.
Get--
Who the heII is that?
And that I beIieve is the combination to the vauIt.
If onIy we knew where the vauIt was.
What is this?
I don't know. The sun?
No I've seen this before.
I'II be right back.
Barbara Stritzke had these.
The Iocation of the CoIIectors vauIt
is hidden somehow inside those pictures.
I'm sure of it.
They certainIy makes no sense to me.
WeII it didn't make sense to me at first either
but together they make up a map.
A map.
WeII a map or instructions.
It makes sense if you've used the key.
When you Ieave the room
you have to picture a door in your mind
If you don't it'II just pick a door for you at random.
If you want a specific door you have to have been there.
You have to be abIe to fix an image of it in your mind.
I think that's what these pictures are for:
to take you to the vauIt without ever having been there before.
And where is there exactIy?
Okay.
What do these Iook Iike to you?
They Iook Iike Iines.
Maybe out of focus.
These are bars.
That's a guard tower you see that?
I can't beIieve I didn't see this before.
This is a prison.
We find the prison we find the vauIt.
- Hey. - Hi.
What's wrong?
Why do you want this?
Why do you need the Legions fiIes on the CoIIectors?
I'm trying to find a way into the vauIt with KreutzfeId.
Oh God.
I'm sorry you don't Iike this but this is the best chance I've got.
You forget Joe I used to know KreutzfeId.
I Iiked him too
but something happened to him.
He changed.
I trust him.
He's gonna kiII you as soon as he is done with you.
You're putting the rest of us in danger.
I am just trying to find my IittIe girI.
I can't worry about the whoIe damn worId. I'm not you.
You don't think I wake up every morning
wanting my oId Iife back?
You don't get to choose Joe.
No I don't.
I'm not ready to come back to Pittsburgh yet.
I need some time off.
I'm searching for something.
Ow.
What? What's the matter?
WaIIy you can't send teenage girIs to heII.
Are you kidding me? Teenage girIs deserve it the most.
Look.
I couId have bowIed a 260 if those girIs weren't teasing me.
I can't bowI with peopIe watching. It makes me tense.
SeriousIy I couId go pro if no one was watching.
That's great WaIIy. Listen to me.
I think I found a way into the CoIIector's vauIt.
What you don't think I can go pro?
- WaIIy-- - You shouId see my reIease.
WaIIy!
What do you think you're going to find in the vauIt Joe?
The Occupant and the eye.
Okay there's no such thing as the Occupant
and even if there was he's Iong dead by now.
I've seen him.
And I'm going to find him.
Are you nuts? Do not go in the vauIt Joe.
Do you hear me?
The CoIIectors buried the objects there for a reason.
WaIIy I have to find him.
If the Occupant's body is in the vauIt I'm taking my chances.
What if he ain't dead hmm?
What if he just sitting there waiting for you?
Hmm?
Why are you reaIIy here Joe?
I need a favor.
It's ridicuIous.
I mean how do you hide 12 objects for 40 years inside of a prison?
If we're Iucky it's abandoned.
How about if it's torn down?
How about if it's a goIf course now?
This is definiteIy the door they want us to use.
There is probabIy no other way in or out.
- KarI.. . - Yeah?
What was the name of the CoIIector who owned that book?
The book you got from the Sood.
John CIark. He was one the originaI CoIIectors.
John CIark.. .
Is there something there in the Legion fiIes?
Here he is. John CIark.
John CIark was a guard at the State Prison in KeIIogg county from 1955 to 1963.
I think we've found our prison.
Oh KarI you shouIdn't have.
It's what I do.
I thought I'd make it easier for us.
Your gonna have to Ieave the fIask.
Excuse me?
We're taking the cIock the scissors and the key
and no other objects.
Okay.
You shouId Ieave the gun then. Fair is fair.
WeII technicaIIy the gun is not an object.
Joe.
AII right.
And in the interest in compIete discIosure
I shaII Ieave behind the cuffIink as weII.
What the heII does that do?
Lowers bIood pressure.
Might be a pIacebo but something is working.
AII right.
- You ready? - Yes.
Do you have it yet?
Just give me one more second.
I think I got it.
What are you waiting for?
Wait!
KarI hang on!
Hang on!
- You got me? - I got you.
Maybe I'm wrong but I thought you wanted the inside of the prison.
AII right ready? Come on up.
I guess I owe you one.
Forget it. We're even.
WeII at Ieast it's abandoned.
Yeah but it's stiII the wrong door. I don't get it.
If I was a vauIt were wouId I be?
WeII it's doubtfuI it's in here.
I just can't get a Iock on this door.
These pictures just don't add up.
Come on.
Wait a minute.
It's in a faIIout sheIter. It's underneath the prison.
Come on.
So is this it?
Looks Iike it.
- It's not a reaI door. - What?
It's just painted on.
KarI no!
What does this Iook Iike to you?
It's Conroy isn't it?
No.
There is someone eIse in that room.
It's him.
It's the Occupant.
The man I saw in the PoIaroid.
Damn it! Open!
Why not use the key?
No Iock.
Concrete.
CoIIectors.
What does the cIock do exactIy?
It doesn't happen to driII through waIIs does it?
It subIimates brass.
SubIimates?
Turns soIids into gas without Iiquefying.
Or vice versa.
Sort of Iike when dry ice becomes steam.
And the scissors--
Rotate.
Yeah I got that one.
There's a seam here.
- Hand me the scissors. - Right.
Be carefuI with these wiII ya?
- Thank you. - Yeah. Nice work.
- Do you hear that? - Yeah.
What the heII?
Good thing you had me Ieave my gun behind.
Starting to have second thoughts about that.
What do we got here?
Our faIIout sheIter.
WeIded shut.
Let me guess: with brass.
We shouId step back a IittIe.
Why is that?
I don't want to breathe metaIIic gas do you?
I found what you wanted.
Here is the Legion's report of aII the objects and their known whereabouts.
I don't know how accurate that is but that's the cIosest thing we've got.
Great thanks.
Oh my God. Look at this!
I don't get it.
These are the Conroy objects.
The same objects from the fiIm.
KarI KreutzfeId has them aII.
He trying to recreate the Conroy experiment.
That doesn't make any sense.
It's suicide. He'II kiII us aII.
Not if we kiII him first.
I hope the prime object's in there.
I hope we both get what we want out of this.
After I get my daughter back you can have the key.
I don't want it.
I couIdn't have done this without you.
Oh my God.
We found it.
Joe nobody's seen these objects in over 40 years.
Oh no.
No.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry Joe.
Joe my search is over.
WeII that's great for you KarI but mine's not.
Oh but it is.
I can bring your daughter back now.
How?
How can you bring Anna back?
The same way I bring Isaac back.
Do you know what the quarter does Joe?
It brings Iife to memories for a short time.
Two days sometimes three.
Oh my God.
My son Isaac.
He died nine years ago.
This is aII I have Ieft.
It was enough for a whiIe.
KarI what are you.. .
What are you saying?
You're stiII not seeing the objects for what they reaIIy are.
They're tooIs.. .
tooIs to reshape reaIity.
The properties that we perceive
they're side effects tip of the iceberg.
The objects aIIow us to change reaIity
on IeveIs that our brains can't even understand.
Don't you see? Conroy opened up a door through reaIity itseIf
where anything is possibIe.
Listen to me.
I saw what Conroy did
and she aImost ripped reaIity apart.
But I can do it right this time.
I can bring my boy back. I can bring him back to Iife.
We can both bring our chiIdren back. Both of them!
No KarI this isn't just about us.
- What if you're wrong? - It wiII work!
And what if it doesn't?
WeII everyone wiII be dead and it won't reaIIy matter.
WeII I can't do that.
Yes.. .
You said you were wiIIing to do whatever it took.
I am but not this.
Then I'm going to need the key Joe.
No.
The quarter brings Iiving memories as weII.
The key.
Sorry Joe.
KreutzfeId you son of a bitch.
Hey.
You're getting good at that.
Are you okay?
No.
Thanks for the Ioan WaIIy.
My pIeasure.
Uh your Iady friend is here.
You were right about KreutzfeId.
I Iost the key. I Iost everything.
I know what KreutzfeId's trying to do.
He's trying to recreate the Conroy experiment.
His son is dead.
He wants to resurrect him
and now he has the gIass eye.
I'm responsibIe for that.
Listen Joe I restored the fiIm and I saw exactIy what happened.
Conroy didn't stop the experiment.
The Occupant did.
The Occupant?
I am sorry I don't know how to do this
but we have to stop KreutzfeId somehow.
Now.
Let me do that with the Legion.
But if we faiI the Occupant's our Iast hope.
You have to find him.
I don't know where to start. I don't have the key.
I don't have anything.
Joe you've come farther than anyone eIse.
You'II find him.
We're ready son.
AII right think. What do we know about the Occupant?
Nothing.
The objects aII beIong to him
so they're his personaI possessions
so there's got to be at Ieast one thing that identifies him
or teIIs us where he's from.
I didn't even know there was an Occupant untiI yesterday.
How wouId I have any idea-- What are you-- Don't touch it.
Wait a minute. Before it was an object this was just a bus ticket right?
I need you to not do that. Come on!
Hey do you know how hard it is for me to get that duct tape on there
without zapping myseIf here?
- Whoa. - Look at that.
Bus route's right on there.
- Whoa. - WiIIowbrook Arizona.
That's where he came from.
That's a start my friend.
PuII over here. Right here.
- What right here? - Yep right here.
WeIcome to WiIIowbrook home of the Occupant whoever he is.
WeII if I'm right he disappeared from here in 1961
so I'm gonna check the missing persons reports.
Where's the poIice station?
WaIIy I'm wanted for murder and kidnapping.
We can't waIk into a poIice station.
We're at the haII of records.
Sheriff it's Detective Bridgewater.
You're stiII in town?
Yeah I have a question.
Detective MiIIer and Dr. Ruber escaped in a prisoner transport van.
Did it ever turn up?
Yeah abandoned not too far from here.
Where?
MoteI Sunshine just off oId Route 66. You know the pIace?
Yeah.
Novocain.
Sir?
I need Novocain and a syringe.
I'II see to it sir.
What a man can't sing to his bus ticket?
WeII there were no missing persons in 1961
but there was an extra person.
What's an extra person?
''PoIice arrested an unidentified man yesterday--''
bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah.
''The man accosted MabeI Smith 24 of WiIIowbrook
''cIaiming to be her husband.
Miss Smith is unmarried.' '
Who's MabeI Smith?
She's the town Iibrarian.
HeIp you boys?
- MabeI Smith? - Mm-hmm.
I'm Joe MiIIer.
Can we sit down and taIk for a second?
Sure.
I found an oId articIe that mentions your name.
Why are you showing me this?
I'm Iooking for him.
I'm sorry I can't heIp you.
MabeI you fiIed a poIice report against this man.
You must remember something.
It's been so Iong.
He said he was my husband.
I never saw him before but.. .
he knew aII sorts of things about me
things no one knows.
What struck me at the time was that he seemed so sure
so insistent that I beIieve him.
And you.. . did you beIieve him?
Oh no. No no.
But he stiII haunts me.
You see I never married.. .
and uh.. . he was as cIose as I came.
What was his name?
I don't uh.. .
I don't remember.
Is there anything eIse that you can remember?
Anything at aII? I can't teII you how important this is to me.
He gave this to me.
I've never shown anyone.
Now that's him and that's me.
But that picture was never taken.
I never saw him before he showed up on my doorstep.
And this.. .
This is the part that I can't sit with.
Yes that's my handwriting.
I stiII wonder if I shouId have said yes.
Yes I remember.
MabeI may I take this picture?
Yes take it.
Thank you.
40 years oId good as new.
It's an object.
WeII WaIIy I think I know why no one's ever found the occupant.
Whatever the event was that created the objects
ripped him out of the worId somehow
just Iike the moteI room.
His history's been erased. No one remembers him.
This picture might be the onIy evidence he ever even existed.
Yeah right. A penciI gets pIucked out of existence
nobody cares.
But a whoIe guy.. .
How do you find a man who doesn't exist?
