ABIGAIL BANK_EMPLOYEE_1 BANK_EMPLOYEE_2 BANK_EMPLOYEE_3 BOY_1 BOY_2 CLARENCE CONNIE ELIZABETH EVERYONE GAME_NARRATOR GHOSTER JAMES JOE JUAN MATEO MR_ALESSI MR_LEE NARRATOR SUMMER VOICE WILLIAM YUTO NARRATOR Legends tell that in the midst of the 15th century the wickedest of dragons blackened the skies across southern England with his reign of terror. His name was Yuto. This continued until the brave Sir Arthur Miller slayed Yuto, the last of his kind, finally bringing peace to the land. Death, however, could not constrain this powerful beast. And with the help of an evil wizard, his ghost passed back into our world. "Seek out your slayer's offspring," the wizard told the ghost dragon. "Capture their life force within this diamond. A male and a female no more than 50 years apart. Repeat this cycle for five centuries, and your own life force shall be restored." And so, for 500 years, this is just what Yuto has done. Terrorize the offspring of Sir Arthur Miller in order to once again become a living and breathing dragon. GHOSTER Sorry, Yuto. But it ends here. YUTO I'm afraid it's you who ends here. GHOSTER I won't let you trap any more souls. Haha. What? No. YUTO I don't know how you escaped, but you will get back in the box. YUTO Foolish boy. There is no hope without the light knife. GHOSTER The what? YUTO The only thing that can destroy the diamond and set the life force free. I probably shouldn't have said that. GHOSTER Where is it? YUTO Hidden away, where only a member of your bloodline could ever find him. I shouldn't have said that, either. No matter. You won't be able to escape that box again. You'll forever be tied to the realm between worlds. YUTO Into the realm of... Bind your spirit, to the mirror. GHOSTER I'm sorry, Abigail. SUMMER Winston Miller, the owner and final surviving heir of Echoville Manor, passed away this evening. Mr. Miller was jailed in 1970 when his great nephew William disappeared under suspicious circumstances which remain unsolved to this day. William was only 7 years old when he was last seen on the property by a butler. And even after extensive and wide-ranging searches, his remains were never found. Despite insisting on being overseas at the time, Mr. Miller was accused of foul play. Elderly locals here in Messina Falls still recall the shocking incident in their sleepy hollow town. But for most people, it's a forgotten footnote in time. Winston Miller is said to have no known surviving relatives, so the manor will revert to local banking authorities, should no one come forward. This is Summer Randall, News Channel 3. Back to you. ELIZABETH Is that the last of it from the market store? JAMES Yeah. Shame that we have to shut it down. Because your mom would never have let that happen. Here. Thanks. ELIZABETH Power's cut, too. JAMES Well, then we'll just have to eat all that ice cream before it melts. Yeah? ELIZABETH Sounds like a plan. JAMES Let's go. ELIZABETH I think it's about time we put those first editions up for sale. JAMES Mm, no. I don't think you should do that. ELIZABETH What's the point of collecting them if they're worthless when you need them? JAMES I'd feel-- I don't know. ELIZABETH We'll get through it. We've gotten through worse. JAMES You sound like your mom. JAMES Now you sound like me. JAMES Okay. ELIZABETH Uh-uh, I'll do it. JAMES Thank you. Remember what your mom always said? ELIZABETH Tomorrow's not today. JAMES Right. Goodnight. ELIZABETH Goodnight, dad. Goodnight, mama. VOICE Elizabeth. Come to the door. Come to the door. Come to the door, Elizabeth. Come to the door, Elizabeth. Come to the door. Come to the door, Elizabeth. Come to the door. Elizabeth. Come to the door. ELIZABETH Hello? VOICE Come to the door, Elizabeth. ELIZABETH Hello? JAMES Was that someone at the door? ELIZABETH This was pinned to the door. JAMES EM? "Dear Abigail... We regret to inform you that your great uncle Winston Miller has passed away." ELIZABETH I did not know mom had a great uncle. JAMES Hmm. "After much investigation, you have been found to be his final surviving relative. As such, you are now the sole heir to Echoville Manor in Messina Falls, which has been in your family since 1685." Hmm. These pictures say 1965. ELIZABETH A mansion? "The custodian Juan Sanchez to meet you to hand over the keys in the coming days." And then it's just signed EM? Is this real? I mean-- JAMES I think it's real. You know, we could sell this place and then have enough money to pay back the bank. And I could reopen my shop. ELIZABETH I don't know. This place has been in mom's family for like... ever. JAMES Fair point. How about we sleep on it? ELIZABETH Okay. Goodnight. JAMES See you in the mornin'. ELIZABETH Dad. JAMES Hmm. ELIZABETH Dad. JAMES Hmm. ELIZABETH Dad, wake up. JAMES Hmm. ELIZABETH Wake up. I think we should go check out Echoville. And then we can decide what to do. JAMES Mmm. When do you wanna go? ELIZABETH No time like the present. ELIZABETH I've just been looking up what I can about the manor. There's not much. A few blogs, but just say that it's haunted. JAMES Boo, hahahahahaha. ELIZABETH Dad, please. JAMES You don't believe that hogwash, do you? ELIZABETH Of course not. JAMES Good girl. So, um, I've been thinking about our options once we get there. ELIZABETH Okay. JAMES So, we can just move right into Echo House. ELIZABETH Echoville. JAMES Echoville. And make it our own. Of course, we might get a little lonely with all those empty rooms. ELIZABETH Maybe we could Airbnb them. JAMES We could. Or I could turn it into a recording studio and invite artists from all over the world to come and record their albums, and we could feed them, and we could accommodate. ELIZABETH And what happens when summer's finished and I go back to school? JAMES Or we could just not get ahead of ourselves. Okay, so Option B is that we put it on the market, because I feel that we could make enough money to pay off the vultures at the bank and then have enough left over to start a new life. JAMES You're not sold on selling, are you? ELIZABETH No, it's just- I wish mom were here. JAMES She's always with us. You sure you don't wanna come with? ELIZABETH Just gonna take a look around. JAMES Okay. But don't get lost. BOY 1 Hey, come back here! BOY 2 You can run, but you can't hide! You can't ride forever. Get back. MATEO Get away. Watch out. BOY 2 Happy Birthday! JAMES Lizzy. You ready? MATEO I'm so sorry. Are you okay? ELIZABETH Nothing we can't resolve in court. BOY 1 Hey, hey, get back here! MATEO Later. JAMES Let's go. ELIZABETH Echoville Manor. JAMES Hope the house is in better shape than the sign. JAMES Uh. GHOSTER No. No, no, no. Hmm. ELIZABETH It's a lot bigger than I thought it would be. JAMES The picture doesn't even do it justice. JUAN It is a lot of work for just one man. JUAN Oh, sorry, folks. I'm Juan Sanchez. The custodian here at Echoville Manor. JAMES Oh, I'm James Oren. JUAN It's a pleasure to meet you. And you must be Abigail. ELIZABETH I'm Elizabeth, her daughter. JUAN Okay. So where is Abigail? GHOSTER Who's this? JUAN Welcome to Echoville Manor. ELIZABETH Wow. JAMES You can say that again. ELIZABETH Wow. JUAN The manor was originally built in the 1500s. Then after, Joseph Miller, your great-great-great-great-great grandfather shipped the building here to Messina Falls brick by brick in the 1800s. ELIZABETH Why? JUAN Legend has it that it was to get far away from a ghost. However, it didn't really help the situation that they rebuilt it on an ancient druid burial site. I'm joking. JUAN So, what are your plans? JAMES We thought that we would move in and stay here a few weeks and you know, maybe clean the place up a little and figure it out from there. JUAN Well, I am on hand to help you with whatever you need. JAMES Um, well, thank you, Mr. Sanchez. JUAN Juan, please. JAMES Juan. But we're-- we're really not in a position to pay someone right now. JUAN Oh, no. Did you not read the whole letter? The estate covers my services. ELIZABETH Are you serious? That's awesome. JUAN It is my pleasure. Why don't you take a look around? I still have some work to do on the roof before it gets dark. JAMES Okay. Thanks. ELIZABETH Uh. JAMES Okay. JAMES Hey, race you to find the best room. ELIZABETH You're on. JAMES Ready? 3, 2-- ELIZABETH Hey! Cheater! JAMES I found my room! ELIZABETH Me too. JAMES Mirror, mirror, on the wall. ELIZABETH Floor. JAMES Who's the fairest of them all? It's Elizabeth, you knucklehead. Hey, I'm gonna go get the bags out of the car. ELIZABETH I'll be down in a sec. JAMES What? What? What is it? ELIZABETH I-- It was a-- a spider. JAMES A spider? Was it the size of a cat? ELIZABETH At least. JAMES Well, uh, I think you scared it away, as well as anything else in a 10-mile radius, so um, you're gonna help me with those bags? ELIZABETH Oh. JAMES Oh. CONNIE Here, let me get that for you. CONNIE This looks fun. I love puzzles. JAMES She's my little puzzle princess. You are. CONNIE I'm Connie. I live right across the way. JAMES Hi, I'm James Oren. And this is my daughter, Elizabeth. CONNIE Hello. Can I help with anything? ELIZABETH You could get the door. CONNIE Oh, sure. JAMES What was that? Okay. ELIZABETH I'll just take these upstairs. JAMES Yeah. So you just live across the road. I mean, with your husband? CONNIE Oh, no. JAMES Boyfriend? Girlfriend? CONNIE It's just me, I'm afraid. JAMES Yeah. CONNIE They do say it's 13 years bad luck to move into a new house and then stare into the mirrors right away. ELIZABETH Oh, I- Do they? CONNIE Dates back to King Henry VIII's reign in England, 150- ELIZABETH 1509 to 1547. CONNIE Wow. Well, you know your stuff. ELIZABETH My mom, she was a bit of an English history buff, so kind of rubbed off. CONNIE That's lovely. So I guess you already know then that the residents in those days deemed it bad luck to move into a new house that didn't already have its mirrors covered up. ELIZABETH Really? CONNIE Oh yes. It was considered extremely unlucky. But you know, those old wives' tales. You never know which ones to believe in and which ones not to, right? He's a cutie. ELIZABETH Oh, that's Arthur. It's silly. CONNIE That's your mom? ELIZABETH Yeah. CONNIE She's beautiful. You have her eyes. Gosh, I'm so sorry. I get so nosey sometimes. Just tell me to stop. ELIZABETH It's okay. So, how long should we keep them covered, so that we avoid the bad luck? CONNIE Oh, they say at least a week. Should we go cover the others? There you go. That's it. GHOSTER Elizabeth, you don't have to be scared. Over here. Hello. Come to the mirror. Elizabeth. MR ALESSI Hello? Afternoon. Is your father in? ELIZABETH Dad! JAMES Mr. Alessi. How did you-- MR ALESSI We have ways to track people. JAMES Um, well, would you like to go in the study? MR ALESSI No, I'll be brief. Seems you've come upon a windfall. JAMES Well, it's not so much me as it is my late wife's family. MR ALESSI Again, my condolences. However, I'm here to inform you that based on the contract that you signed with us, any inheritance that you befell can be seized to cover your debts. JAMES And I understand that. We're going to fix the place up and sell it to get the money to pay you, with interest, of course, but it takes time to get these things ready. You-- you understand? MR ALESSI Despite what you might think of me, Mr Oren, I am not an unreasonable man. So here's what I'll do. I'll give you a month to fix this place up, find a buyer, whatever you need to do. JAMES Yes. Thank you. MR ALESSI However, if this place has not sold after a month, Asquid Savings and Loan will seize this place in its entirety to cover our agreement. JAMES But I mean, you can't just-- MR ALESSI Or we can seize it today. MR ALESSI Very well. Shall we say, stroke of midday after 28 days? JAMES Yes. And thank you, sincerely. MR ALESSI Good day. JAMES Well, we better get busy. GHOSTER Only a month? Hmm. I hope that's enough time. JOE I don't know, Clarence. The things these kids post out on their YouTubes, oh boy, I do not get that. CLARENCE Yes, sir. Well, howdy, folks. Just this lot? JAMES Uh-huh. Oh, with-- CLARENCE All right. Thank you. I haven't seen you folks around these parts. Passing through? JAMES Not exactly. We're just doing some renovations on a house that we inherited. CLARENCE Oh, very nice. Well, now that you know where we are, keep that paint flowing. JAMES Yes, sir. CLARENCE Oh, looks like 57.92. Thank you. JOE: Which part of town is the property? Happy to lend a hand. JAMES Well, that's very nice. It's-- Actually, it's Echoville Manor. CLARENCE Thanks for shopping at Nix. JAMES Did I say something to offend him? CLARENCE Next. JAMES Here, let me help with that paint. Yeah, thank you. MATEO Woah. ELIZABETH The BMX bandit returns. MATEO Sorry again about yesterday. Aren't you the people moving into Echoville Manor? JAMES Yeah. Um, hey, why did the guys inside have such a problem with that? MATEO People around here, especially the older ones, think it's haunted. Boy disappeared there many years ago. Hasn't been lived in since. ELIZABETH How do you know that? MATEO I'm a bit of a ghost story nerd. Plus my father's the custodian. JAMES Oh, Juan is your father. MATEO Yeah. These are for him. JAMES Um, here let's-- let's give you a-- a ride back. MATEO Thank you. JAMES How about that? MATEO Yeah, I'd appreciate that. Thank you. JAMES Okay, get all the-- ELIZABETH Oh hey, I almost forgot. I have your owl statue. MATEO Actually, it belongs to you. Well, to Echoville. I was getting it back after those two took it. ELIZABETH Oh. What's so special about it? MATEO There's a key inside. I don't know what it opens. But I couldn't let those two just take it. ELIZABETH Well, thank you then, I guess. ELIZABETH Do you want to stay for tea? MATEO Oh, I don't really drink it. ELIZABETH Oh, no. Sorry, it's what my mum-- mom, used to call dinner. She was English. Never mind. Just come on. GHOSTER Don't be scared, okay? But you can't sell the-- GHOSTER Um, not again. JAMES What? ELIZABETH I-- it-- The tap. JUAN I don't see anything. ELIZABETH Sorry, it was the-- uh, it was a-- a spider. Another spider. JAMES Oh. It's a big house, honey. We're probably gonna have a few roommates. JUAN I can spray the house tomorrow. JAMES Yeah. MATEO You okay? ELIZABETH Yeah. Just gave me a scare. I'll be fine. These will be ready soon. CONNIE Thank you. It was delicious. JUAN Thank you. ELIZABETH Bye, Mateo. MATEO Thanks again. See you tomorrow. GHOSTER Now is my chance. MATEO Okay, Baron Zumati. Forces ain't gonna stop me tonight. GAME NARRATOR Software update complete. MATEO Update? Wonder what they've added. Okay, where are you ghouls? GHOSTER I need to speak with you. MATEO What? They can talk now? This software update is sweet. GHOSTER Could you stop that, please? MATEO It's like I can actually touch them. This update is wild. GHOSTER Enough with the poking. I need your help. Now, if I might-- GHOSTER Uh. Not again. JUAN What's going on in there? MATEO Nothing. Just this game. I got scared by the game. JUAN Keep it down or I'll take it away. MATEO Okay. GHOSTER I need you to remain calm. MATEO Are you gonna hurt me? GHOSTER No. I just need to talk to you. I need your help. MATEO Who are you? GHOSTER It's not important. Just call me "Ghoster" for now. MATEO Why are you here? GHOSTER I jumped into the mirror on your bike at Echoville. MATEO Place really is haunted. Wait, does this mean my house is haunted now, too? Oh man. Dad's gonna kill me. He just remodelled the kitchen. GHOSTER This house isn't haunted. At least, I don't think so. But listen, this is important. You can't let the Orens sell Echoville Manor. MATEO Why? GHOSTER Because I've been trapped there for 50 years when an evil ghost dragon called "Yuto" imprisoned me when I tried to destroy a diamond he hid at Big Ben. So, he tied me to the realms between your world and mine by trapping me in mirrors with a curse which can't be broken unless I get the light knife by outsmarting him. MATEO Come again? GHOSTER I've been trapped-- MATEO Right. GHOSTER By an evil force-- MATEO Got it. GHOSTER When I tried to steal his diamond... MATEO Okay. GHOSTER ...from Big Ben. GHOSTER I need to best him and get the light knife-- MATEO Getting it. GHOSTER To be released from the mirrors-- MATEO Got you. GHOSTER So, I can destroy his diamond. MATEO Okie dokie. Just one more thing. It's some kind of hidden camera show, isn't it? Okay, Aaron. You can come out now. You got me. How are they doing this? This is a projection or something? GHOSTER This is not a joke. MATEO So you're really real. GHOSTER I assure you, I am. MATEO But how can I help? GHOSTER I need your help to talk to Elizabeth. Every time she sees me, she screams. It's really quite annoying. MATEO Okay, but why do you need her help? GHOSTER Well, here's the thing. JAMES Woah, hey. MATEO Hi, Mr. Oren. Is Elizabeth in? JAMES Yes? Lizzie? Mateo's here. She's in the kitchen. ELIZABETH Hey. MATEO Hi. ELIZABETH What's up? MATEO Do you know about Dia de los Muertos? ELIZABETH The Day of the Dead. Yeah. A little bit. Why? MATEO We believe that death is just part of the journey of life, and that rather than death ending life, new life comes from death. ELIZABETH It's a nice way to look at it. MATEO Exactly. There's dancing and feasts, and it gives us a bit of relationship with what happens after death. ELIZABETH Right. MATEO So that when things occur which would usually seem strange they're actually not so strange. ELIZABETH You mean strange like how you're being now? MATEO No, I mean yes. I'm being strange, but with good reason. ELIZABETH Hope so. MATEO What I'm really trying to say is-- GHOSTER Oh, just spit it out, will you? That went a lot smoother when we practiced it last night, Mateo. ELIZABETH That? You-- it's-- MATEO Elizabeth. Elizabeth, meet-- GHOSTER Ghoster. I'm sorry to have frightened you when I tried to introduce myself before. Right. Now that's out of the way, let's get down to business. I need your help. MATEO You'd better stay calm for this. This is pretty wild. GHOSTER Okay, so, first things first. You can't sell this manor. ELIZABETH Why? MATEO Say it slowly. GHOSTER We need to wait until the next full moon, so that the doorway to the chamber in the basement will appear. ELIZABETH Why? What happens there? GHOSTER We have to pass the extremely dangerous challenges and retrieve the light knife from Yuto. That's the only time we can do it. MATEO But the good news is that the next full moon is in three weeks. Friday the 13th. Oh, spooky. ELIZABETH Well, I guess that's ominous. So what's the knife light and what is a Yuto? MATEO You're forgetting the extremely dangerous challenges. ELIZABETH How could I? GHOSTER It's light knife. And Yuto is a ghost dragon, and for centuries, in an effort to achieve being reborn, he steals the souls of children in my family, which he encases within his diamond. MATEO Which is in the bell tower of Big Ben in London. ELIZABETH Yes, I know where Big Ben is. GHOSTER Except it's not in the real London, but in a painting of it. Only-- MATEO We don't know where the painting is. ELIZABETH Uh-huh. GHOSTER Yes, it was hanging in the house but after the last time I entered to try and destroy the diamond, someone took it down. ELIZABETH Look, I don't have time for this nonsense. I have so much work to do to help my dad fix up the manor, so I wish you both luck with this. GHOSTER Please, I can't do it without you. MATEO Looks like it's just us men, Ghoster. GHOSTER No offence, Mateo, but we're going to need all the brain power we can get to pass the extremely dangerous challenges. We went over this. MATEO Right. She's the brains. I'm the brawn. GHOSTER Exactly. Luckily, Yuto told me where the light knife is. ELIZABETH He told you how to defeat him? Doesn't seem like the smartest ghost dragon, does he? GHOSTER You might change your mind after you see the first challenge. MATEO Yeah, there's a good chance we might get squished. I'm not gonna be able to squish this. ELIZABETH You're not doing a very good job of convincing me. GHOSTER Please, Elizabeth. This isn't just for me. It's for all the lost souls trapped in Yuto's diamond. They're my family. ELIZABETH I don't know. I can't disappoint my dad. MATEO Hold on. You have three and a half weeks to sell the manor, right? So that means we have time to help Ghoster and still fix this place up. ELIZABETH If, and that's a big if, but if I agree to help, you two both have to work double time to help me and my dad get this place ready to sell. MATEO Deal. GHOSTER Right. Where should we start? GHOSTER Great work, team. Only 27 more rooms to go. MR ALESSI Hey Anita. Yeah, that's fine. Show him in. See if he wants some refreshments. Okay. Mr. Lee. Take a seat. MR LEE Thank you. Time is of the essence. So I will be prompt. I represent a powerful client. We are looking for the instant acquisition of land in Messina Falls. Now, our reasoning is confidential. But I assure you that our urgency is paramount. MR ALESSI Great, I'll put you in contact with somebody on our business team. MR LEE We're actually interested in a very particular site. Echoville Manor. As far as I understand, you are in the process of acquiring it? MR ALESSI Working on the paperwork right now. But you know these things take time. So I'm sure we'll have it done probably-- MR LEE I need you to speed up the process. We expect to break ground in two weeks, Mr. Alessi. Good day. ELIZABETH So, let me get this straight. Yuto, a ghost dragon, trapped your life force in a diamond, that's hidden in a painting of London. But you have no idea where this painting of London is. GHOSTER No, but even if I did, I still need the light knife to break the diamond within it. I learned that the hard way the last time I escaped and Yuto caught me in the painting. That's when he tied me to the mirrors. ELIZABETH If you're tied to the mirrors at Echoville, how are you able to get to Mateo's house? GHOSTER If one mirror passes another, I can jump into it. ELIZABETH So you could jump into this mirror? GHOSTER I can. Who's that? ELIZABETH My mom. GHOSTER She's beautiful. ELIZABETH She passed away a while ago. GHOSTER I'm so sorry. ELIZABETH Hey Ghoster, are there others like you? GHOSTER You mean ghosts? A few, but we're not all connected. I wouldn't be able to track her down, if that's what you're asking. ELIZABETH Oh. So how did you end up here? GHOSTER Well, I was little. 7, I think. So my memories aren't that great. My parents, they passed away. I was sent to live here. I was terrified. So I would hide most days. One day I went to the cellar to hide. And I never came back. ELIZABETH Then what happened? GHOSTER It's a blur. I was pulled into something. Like a fly caught in a spider web. ELIZABETH So you had no family? GHOSTER I had a baby sister, barely six months. But she passed away, too. ELIZABETH That's so sad. I'm sorry. GHOSTER It's quite all right. Thank you, Elizabeth. ELIZABETH So the cellar, what's down there? GHOSTER The owl painting. It's like the painting of London with one difference. You need a key to pass into it. GHOSTER There, that's the one. ELIZABETH I don't understand. How does the key work with the painting? GHOSTER Only during the full moon will the door be revealed. If we have the key, we'll be able to enter the painting. ELIZABETH That's where the challenges are. What do you know about them? GHOSTER Only that I can't pass them alone. It will take team work and honestly, a little luck. There's puzzles and traps that, let's just say, there's a chance that you could-- ELIZABETH What? GHOSTER End up like me. ELIZABETH Okay. We just need to know how to beat the challenges. GHOSTER I wish I knew more. But the information within the four walls of Echoville is limited. Believe me, I've gone through every book here. ELIZABETH And I know just where to look. Come on. Let's head into town. Wi-Fi in this place is terrible. GHOSTER Wi-Fi? JAMES Uh, I think you missed a spot. CONNIE And I think you didn't. You are covered from head to toe. JAMES I think that that chimney has soot in it from the dawn of time. CONNIE Mmhmm. It sure is a shame you have to sell the place. JAMES I wish there was another way, because there is so much history here. CONNIE As a child that was my favorite painting. JAMES As a child? I-- I thought this place had been abandoned for 50 years? CONNIE Um-- ELIZABETH Going into town for some air. JAMES Oh hey, we need some more white paint and sandpaper. ELIZABETH Sure, dad. CONNIE And ice cream. GHOSTER So let me get this right. Everyone now has a device in their pockets that has the answer to literally every question that any person has ever asked in the history of time. And they mostly use them to look at cat pictures? ELIZABETH Well, not every question. I can't find anything about Yuto. GHOSTER Well, we just have to keep looking. GHOSTER Aw. ELIZABETH Hey. JAMES Hey. Lizzie, um, have a seat. ELIZABETH "Due to your failure to submit the supporting documentation within the allotted time, all property including Echoville Manor will be seized within seven days." They can't. He gave you his word. JAMES Unfortunately, these vultures can do whatever they want. They don't care about people like us. ELIZABETH We have to do something. JAMES We can't, Lizzie. ELIZABETH We must! Dad, you don't understand. We can't let them take it. At least, now just now. We have to fight for the next 11 days. JAMES 11? Then what happens? Then what happens? GHOSTER The doorway to defeat Yuto will open. JAMES Who said that? ELIZABETH Dad. Dad. Dad! JAMES What? ELIZABETH Remember how you said you didn't believe in ghosts? GHOSTER Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Oren. ELIZABETH Dad! GHOSTER Well, that went as well as it could. So that's why we need just a little more time. And once we do all that, then you can let them have the house. JAMES You know, this is crazy. But your mom wouldn't have let us just give up without a fight. ELIZABETH So you're in? JAMES I'm in. 1, 2, 3. EVERYONE Go team! JAMES Okay. MATEO So, now what? JAMES I've got just the thing. When I was in college, I was the Halloween King. JAMES This requires some technique. CONNIE You need a hand? ELIZABETH We're doing research, actually. CONNIE Ooh, fun. What for? JAMES For the scare squad. CONNIE Scare squad? What's that? ELIZABETH The bank broke its promise to dad. And it's trying to repossess Echoville before we can sell it. CONNIE Oh, no. When are they coming? JAMES As early as tomorrow. CONNIE So before Friday the 13th. ELIZABETH Exactly. CONNIE Well, is the scare squad recruiting? JAMES Do you want to join? CONNIE Well, I can't just sit around and do nothing and let them kick you out without a chance to sell the place. ELIZABETH Welcome. The newest member of the scare squad, Connie. ELIZABETH Oh, and I should probably introduce you to Ghoster. GHOSTER Hello. How do you do? CONNIE Oh. Hello. BANK EMPLOYEE 1 Hello! We're here from the bank to repossess the property. Mr. Oren! BANK EMPLOYEE 2 Come on. BANK EMPLOYEE 1 Mr. Oren. Hello. JAMES Boo. ? What's that creepy sound that you hear? ? ? What's that foul stink in the air? ? ? When everything around you feels a little bit odd ? ? You're the next victim of the scare squad ? BANK EMPLOYEE 3 Mr. Oren. It's time to leave. We could do this the easy way or the not so fun way. Do you have to check yourself in every mirror? GHOSTER I want to suck your blood. ? What's that thing hiding under your bed? ? ? How are the voices doing in your head? ? ? When everything around you feels a little bit odd ? ? You're the next victim of the scare squad ? ? Scare squad ? MR ALESSI Let me guess. You got frightened away by ghosts. You know, yours is the 10th team to come back saying that that place is haunted. But I know it's not. MR ALESSI Come here. So they want to play games. It looks like I'll be paying them another visit. JAMES Mr. Alessi, what can we do for you? MR ALESSI What's this about my men being scared away each time I send 'em? JAMES Uh, I don't know. They come in here just fine. But then they all leave in a hurry. MR ALESSI Every single one of 'em coming back saying that this place is haunted. ELIZABETH Haunted? Echoville? JAMES I think they're pulling your leg. You're welcome to go in and see for yourself. MR ALESSI Yeah, I think I will. ELIZABETH Would you like us to show you around? MR ALESSI No. That won't be necessary. JAMES Knock yourself out. MR ALESSI Let's see if this place really is haunted. Haunted my-- This is crazy. MR ALESSI This place isn't haunted at all. JAMES Tried to tell you that. MR ALESSI Just have your stuff packed and ready to go by tomorrow. No more excuses. No games. This is Alessi. MR LEE My client is growing impatient, Mr. Alessi. Why have you not acquired Echoville Manor yet? MR ALESSI Minor details, Mr. Lee. But I can assure you, I will have the manor in my possession by this time tomorrow. MR LEE We paid you a considerable sum to make sure that this went smoothly. We do not like it when things do not go smoothly. MR. ALESSI And I appreciate that. Just give me a final 24 hours and then you and the Gold Dragon Corporation can commence demolition. GHOSTER Golden Dragon? Yuto. MR ALESSI What'd you say? MR LEE I didn't say anything. MR ALESSI No, just now, you-- you said Yuto. MR LEE Yuto? I have no idea what you're talking about, you strange little man. But you have 24 hours and not a second more. Otherwise, we will be forced to reclaim our generous little offer with interest. GHOSTER Guys, it's Yuto. That's why the bank is kicking you out. So he can destroy the mansion, trapping me in here forever. ELIZABETH How do you know? GHOSTER I heard him say the name of the company who wants it. The Golden Dragon Corporation. Dragon. Yuto is a ghost dragon? MATEO So, dad, you might be wondering why there is a ghost talking to us, so don't be scared. But-- JUAN Me? Scared? Ghoster and I go way back. ELIZABETH You do? JUAN Sure. I even tried to help him escape on the last full moon. But we didn't get far out. Couldn't figure out the first challenge. MATEO But we never told you, because we thought you'd freak out. JUAN Why would I freak out? Ghoster's one of the last living owners of Echoville. JAMES He was? GHOSTER Yes, my great uncle owned it. But they locked him up when they thought he had caused me harm. But it wasn't him. It was Yuto. And I've been trapped here ever since. ELIZABETH Wait, your great uncle is my mom's great uncle, too. Does that make you... ...my uncle? GHOSTER But I was told my sister died with my parents. JAMES And Abigail was told that she was sent away to live with her great grandmother to protect her. GHOSTER I-- I have a family. CONNIE Well, I guess that means when or if you beat the-- Yeah, what's his name again? GHOSTER Yuto. CONNIE Him, if you beat him, this manor reverts to you, as the living heir. GHOSTER What do you mean living heir? I'm dead. CONNIE Well, I mean, if you free your life force you could come back to life. Or not. Uh, I probably said too much there. GHOSTER I don't think it works that way. Once the life forces are freed, we will all be reunited with the rest of our departed family in the spirit world. But if this house was mine, I promise, my family would always have a home here at Echoville. ELIZABETH Really? GHOSTER All this time, I thought I was alone in these worlds. But now, I've found my family. I never want you to leave me again. I would insist you stay, whether I'm dead or alive. JAMES That's very generous. Thank you, Ghoster. Actually, what's your real name? GHOSTER William. ELIZABETH It's a pleasure to meet you, William. JAMES We did it. ELIZABETH Dad. JAMES Huh? Right. It's Friday the 13th. We've got one shot at this. Are we ready? ELIZABETH Ready as we'll ever be. CONNIE You, Juan, and I should probably stay behind. Guard the house. Keep anyone from the bank away. JAMES Yeah. ELIZABETH Okay. Let's go get Ghoster. CONNIE They'll be fine. GHOSTER This is the moment everything has been building to. We need to focus on the goal. It's gonna be scary. You can't let that stop you. Yuto must be defeated tonight. You can do this, William. You can. ELIZABETH Ready? GHOSTER Ready. ELIZABETH Okay, so, what do we do, Ghoster? GHOSTER The light of the full moon needs to hit the painting. Look, it's happening. MATEO Wow. They don't make paintings like that anymore. GHOSTER Elizabeth, hold out the key. MATEO Here we go. GHOSTER Here it is. The doorway to the first challenge. Let's go. MATEO What's with the owl? ELIZABETH I wonder if the statues have something to do with it. GHOSTER I know the letters on the shields must be part of the solution. MATEO This one says K. ELIZABETH What? MATEO This one has an A. GHOSTER This one has an E. MATEO This one says B. ELIZABETH Wait, Mateo. MATEO Was it something I said? GHOSTER I think we need to say them in order. ELIZABETH Yeah. Yeah. It's a scrambled word. The letters are, B, K, E, and A. MATEO I've got it. Bake. ELIZABETH It's worth a try. MATEO I don't think it was bake. GHOSTER Wait a minute. Guys, the owl statue. Notice what's missing? ELIZABETH Beak, of course. It has to be beak. MATEO It better be, or we're gonna be shish kebabs. Wait a minute, kebab! ELIZABETH It's beak. MATEO Yeah. Too many As. MATEO Well, that was easy. ELIZABETH Kebab? Really? What do you think this means? GHOSTER It seems like the levers control the mirrors. MATEO Let's find out. ELIZABETH Be careful. MATEO It's cool. ELIZABETH I get it. We need to position the mirrors, so that the light bounces around the room. MATEO What are we aiming for? GHOSTER Uh, my guess would be this. ELIZABETH Right. The owl led the way last time. Why not this time? MATEO Well, what are we waiting for? ELIZABETH Thanks. There has to be a clue to what order we pull the levers. GHOSTER Look, here's something. The numbers one, two, and six. ELIZABETH It's not much to go on. MATEO I found something. It looks like these are numbers. ELIZABETH Roman numerals. I got this. Okay. We know one works. One. Two. Six. MATEO I thought you said you got this? ELIZABETH I don't understand. It's one, two, six. MATEO We're hoaxed. GHOSTER Don't give up. We can figure this out. MATEO That's easy for you to say. You can fly. Plus, you're already dead. GHOSTER That was uncalled for. ELIZABETH Mom, I could really use your help here. One. MATEO What are you doing? ELIZABETH Two. MATEO Are you trying to kill us? ELIZABETH Do you trust me? MATEO Together. ELIZABETH Four! MATEO Four! GHOSTER How did-- ELIZABETH When I looked in the mirror, it came to me. The reflection of six is four. MATEO You're a genius. I never would have figured that out. ELIZABETH Aren't you glad you trusted me? MATEO I didn't really. I just thought that if I was gonna die, I wanted to be holding your hand. ELIZABETH If you're scared and want to hold my hand, all you have to do is ask. MATEO I'm not scared. ELIZABETH I wasn't the one screaming earlier. MATEO Bring it on! Let's do this! CONNIE There you are. Thank heavens, I found you. ELIZABETH Connie? CONNIE Quick, we need to get back to the house and help your father. ELIZABETH What's going on? CONNIE The bank sent a dozen men. James needs our help. You'll have to finish this later. ELIZABETH I-- we can't just leave. CONNIE It's an emergency. He wouldn't have sent me otherwise. Let's go. MATEO How'd you get down here? CONNIE The door in the painting, it's still open, okay? Come on. There is no time to lose. ELIZABETH You solved all the puzzles? CONNIE Well, not exactly. Let's just say, Ghoster is not the only one who can travel through mirrors. GHOSTER Look, it's Yuto. We've come too far for you to stop us now, Yuto. GHOSTER The light knife. YUTO You think with your little knife that you have the power to take on me? GHOSTER Ah! YUTO Ah. Ingara Rozora. GHOSTER What's happening? Elizabeth, help me. CONNIE Did you really think I'd let you get through all of my challenges and defeat me? ELIZABETH Where is my father? CONNIE Busy with something or other. He's the least of your worries now. ELIZABETH What have you done to him? CONNIE Oh, he's just a little tied up-- YUTO I said, he's tied up. ELIZABETH What have you done with Ghoster? YUTO I placed a spell on him. His life force is draining. By midnight, he will be no more. MATEO What do we do now? ELIZABETH On the count of three, you go left, I'll go right. MATEO Okay, so on three, or after three? ELIZABETH I count to three and then we go. YUTO You know I can hear you, right? ELIZABETH Three! YUTO Ah! ELIZABETH Mateo! YUTO I've dreamt of this moment for 50 years. Finally, the bloodline is complete. You see, with your mother and uncle's souls... I thought I'd finally found a pair of siblings to complete the transformation. But when that wretched uncle of theirs sent your mother away, I had to bide my time and wait for the next full moon, and your arrival. ELIZABETH What do you mean? YUTO A female member of your family's bloodline was required. Who do you think sent the inheritance letter? YUTO So now with you here, my young heiress, just as I planned, my rebirth is assured. ABIGAIL Not today, Yuto. YUTO What's this? Ah! No! Ah! ABIGAIL Ah! YUTO No, this isn't how it ends. Not like this! ABIGAIL Grab the box, Elizabeth. MATEO Where's Yuto? ELIZABETH Sit on this. MATEO That's something I can do. ABIGAIL I am so proud of you. You've been incredibly brave through all this time. ELIZABETH Mom. I'm still so scared for Ghoster. ABIGAIL I can save him. But I need to say goodbye before I do. I cannot return after. ELIZABETH No, mom, I can't lose you again. ABIGAIL But I can give him a life he never had. ELIZABETH I love you, mom. ABIGAIL Darling, I love you. I will always be with you. Always. MATEO So, should we head back now? GHOSTER Abigail. Is it-- is it you? ABIGAIL Promise me you'll watch over her. GHOSTER I will. I promise. There's no time. I must go. I've waited 50 years for this. GHOSTER Hi guys. Abigail, what are you doing? Wait, is that-- What's happening? ELIZABETH Two past 12:00. He should be here by now. Look. William. Welcome to the land of the living. WILLIAM It's good to be back. MR ALESSI The lot of you. You're out of here. You're gone. WILLIAM Mr. Alessi, I am the rightful heir and owner of Echoville Manor. And you are trespassing. Kindly leave. MR ALESSI You? Oh, that's cute. But you're just a kid. Listen, the bank now owns this property. The time to claim it has long since passed. WILLIAM I believe this should more than cover James's outstanding debts with interest. So let's consider this matter closed. MR ALESSI Let's go, boys. WILLIAM Now that unpleasantness is sorted, I believe we have a party to attend. WILLIAM She's always here. ELIZABETH I know. I just realized, you've never danced before. WILLIAM I believe you are absolutely right. ELIZABETH May I have the honor?
