2:19

I guess whoever killed the old woman got mom

high time we all get outta here.

2:27

The Bystander stood and turned to square off against

2:31

Go! Where anywhere inside

2:33

Lauren, stepping up the jury side, pick

2:35

a direction and go, there's

2:39

better than sticking around the getting picked off

2:42

2:45

anywhere third crossed his arms,

2:47

it sounds an awful lot like you've

2:49

2:58

course now? Really in the heart.

3:01

The pushing the somewhere or. everybody

3:04

shut up okay Whoever

3:06

is behind this is hoping for this exact scenario.

3:09

I know how they did it, but don't

3:11

much care anymore, so important facts

3:13

studies. We've all been lowered into

3:15

a trap we're being watched and toyed with

3:18

nowhere, inside this house can be considered safe

3:21

and none of us can be trusted. the

3:23

stupidest thing we can do is stay put

3:26

wait sec What do

3:28

you mean we're being watched during,

3:30

I have reason to believe our room is bugged? This

3:33

is eyes the body so that's the

3:36

could be cameras there might be footage of

3:38

whoever killed Jolt of energy shots from

3:40

3:42

my breath and nearly lost my balance along with it.

3:45

for a moment i thought was having a heart attack

3:48

In the moment passes a sudden is came

3:51

dude to put hand on my shoulder,

3:53

you're right. You look like you

3:55

just swallowed stink bug. Where

3:58

for quarter system of forces all over?

4:00

What's wrong, she struggled to catch her breath

4:02

and looked at me and answered without using her words.

4:15

It wasn't just suspicion or intuition

4:18

feeling, of terror you get a half second before

4:21

4:23

5:01

The MY for his voice, I said,

5:03

"We're not going anywhere until heard

5:05

enough ah to him" Tobias

5:07

wasn't the only one here at the weapon.

5:10

Why even had time to think it's true I

5:12

pulled the stun gun out of my pocket and hurled

5:14

as hard as stuck? my

5:16

5:21

I screamed immediately before realizing why

5:23

8:04

The work was already on his way upstairs, convoy

8:09

accordingly, taunting him and a search without

8:11

even second thought. Oh,

8:13

may I stay behind by myself? You

8:16

know something could do to change their minds.

8:20

Tobias wouldn't leave without his wife. Horn

8:22

wouldn't leave without the missing child care,

8:25

wouldn't leave without her sister, and

8:27

jury when leave until everyone else to say

8:30

Nothing could see would change that. That

8:34

why it was about to die.

8:41

Strange. Noise or come from this,

moving pivoting on hands swinging

8:46

outward, creaking open like

8:48

Swarm of killer hornets or whatever surprise

9:00

nothing happen right away. away The

9:02

bookcase stop moving. When the passage was about to

9:04

put jar enough to see

9:06

through, if I i wanted to take a look. This

9:11

was new mystery beckoning me over. Luckily.

9:14

I had run out of intellectual curiosity, several

9:17

dead bodies ago could see this obvious trap

9:19

for what it was. After

9:22

several seconds, still have moved.

9:24

Guess that's when the obvious

9:27

trap decided to up the ante Scream,

9:30

the voice of Bridget from the other side of the Secret Door.

9:33

Please help me. approached

9:36

the bookcase leaned against it and

9:38

pushed it close. Until heard the last snap

9:40

in place, Bridget

9:42

or whatever was using her voice Continued

9:46

plead with me right now. It was muffled

9:48

barely audible. We

9:50

were lucky. Nobody else would hear it.

9:53

turned it Lauren standing in front of the stairs,

9:56

hiding right behind her. Did just see you

9:58

closing a secret door? I

10:00

shook my head and said. The height.

10:03

The secret door. No.

10:06

Your that are loud scream.

10:18

One more pressing say the least

10:21

home. again approach me taking four steps

10:23

of clear sally following What was

10:25

that? Why?

10:30

The book he swung open with.

10:32

enough force to hit me in the back and not me under the ground

10:34

his books were for shelves and landed around me

10:40

Tobias.

10:44

Mine. One

10:48

oh. i said feeling stupidity

10:51

You meant that?

10:55

I'm rushed over to the ass which way but a for myself

10:57

up and walk out of. both

10:59

hands inside wait

11:02

Not long enough to put a knife against my throat

11:04

and say, give me one goddamn

11:07

reason why I should. Earlier,

11:10

when we found host body's or something don't

11:13

know it's what you'd call a vision

11:15

but. The declare.

11:18

I know you saw it, too.

11:20

What was his, I couldn't bring myself to describe

11:22

the details. No, the house

11:25

fucking with us. There

11:27

is no scenario where we all get

11:29

out alive. Quicksand.

11:32

The more you struggle, the DP's sick. The

11:35

only winning move is not a place

11:37

and year, the one who decides where we draw

11:39

the line who is and isn't

11:41

worth saving. You want to be

11:43

in charge of tree eyes? What

11:46

if it was me or Claire in that room? What

11:49

if it was your friend, Jerry?

11:51

If you want to run away and save yourself,

11:53

go for it.

11:55

But don't you dare tell me

11:57

who isn't worth my saving?

12:00

It all became moved anywhere second later

12:03

when Tobias family heard his voice he.

12:05

12:07

alone even acknowledging i love stand off When

12:10

into the secret room by the looks as.

Seriously, don't the handrail behind Dum da

12:15

for the last second wave that us as he followed

12:18

Tobias like a farm dog to some zone his car

12:20

into traffic. I rolled

12:22

my eyes and followed floor.

12:24

and clearer right behind us The

12:26

moment we're all together in the room the

12:28

secret bookcase door slams shut

12:30

12:33

a library The seeker room was bigger

12:35

than parlor. That every square

12:37

inch of was covered in bookshelves and the

12:39

12:42

other circumstances or been losing my

12:44

12:47

Despite the size of our new phone cage, I

12:49

was suing woefully claustrophobic. Certainly

12:54

didn't help the bridge or was chained up to a wooden

12:56

chair in the center, the room for the square

12:58

13:02

six minutes.

13:05

It opened in now to the blind man and suddenly reappeared

13:08

standing in the room with us. More

13:11

toward the books from the secret door, throwing

13:13

them to the ground and enough to find a way to reopen it's

13:15

an aside. She

13:17

wouldn't find out I.

13:19

13:59

Then. spoke we'll stop we're doing

14:02

It would appear and then our dear

14:05

Bridget as fallen victim to one

14:07

of bedside manner as many parallels

14:09

it's a most dangerous trap

14:11

indeed but. not to worry

14:14

There is still time to solve this

Humans for to scream and turns the blade

14:46

Okay, cocked his head of me, no doubt

23:20

wonder if I suspect to know. But

23:23

how could he have ever guess that knew exactly

23:25

what he was thinking? still

disgust, for splinters a bone,

Pretty soon considering I just been

26:35

The only thing I could do was talking up my memory

Anyone who tells you otherwise wasn't there and can't

Through everyone through audible gasp

38:58

from several of us present soon as Nathaniel

Saturday with both hands and screamed, will
