- 0:02Speaker 1: John took my ex wife Pam and my son Emmett
- 0:05Speaker 1: inside the amusement park. It was clear they're going to
- 0:08Speaker 1: spend the day here, which means I have a chance
- 0:11Speaker 1: now it's been two weeks since I'm stalking them. First,
- 0:15Speaker 1: I needed to handle her, so I went behind her.
- 0:20Speaker 1: Even though the park was crowded, the washroom was clear.
- 0:23Speaker 1: After Pam got inside a bathroom stall, I locked the
- 0:27Speaker 1: main washroom door from the inside so no one can
- 0:31Speaker 1: get in.
- 0:32Speaker 2: I would never fall in love again until I found her,
- 0:39Speaker 2: I said, I would never fall unless it's you, puffall
- 0:44Speaker 2: into I was lost within the darkness bird. Then I
- 0:51Speaker 2: found her, perfound you.
- 0:57Speaker 1: Look how she's singing, which ruined my world and now
- 1:01Speaker 1: trying to be happy. I won't let that happen. I
- 1:05Speaker 1: opened my bag and took out a plastic bag. Just
- 1:08Speaker 1: when she opened the stall door. She screamed, seeing.
- 1:11Speaker 2: Me, Mike, how did you get inside?
- 1:16Speaker 1: Did you miss me? Sweetheart? Was it me you were
- 1:19Speaker 1: singing for? Just now?
- 1:21Speaker 2: Oh my God, help help, please somebody.
- 1:26Speaker 1: But I didn't let her finish. I put the bag
- 1:28Speaker 1: on her face and started choking her. She could hardly breathe.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Her body started to shake, She kicked her hands and
- 1:36Speaker 1: legs in the air, but I didn't let her go.
- 1:39Speaker 1: After struggling for seven minutes straight, Pam got numbed. Her
- 1:44Speaker 1: lifeless body fell on my chest. I gave her one
- 1:47Speaker 1: last hug and seated her body on the toilet seat.
- 1:51Speaker 1: I left the plastic bag on her head so her
- 1:53Speaker 1: flustered face gets a cover. They say that when you
- 1:57Speaker 1: die of asphyxiation, all the blood in your body he
- 2:00Speaker 1: rushes to your face, making it red. I closed the
- 2:03Speaker 1: stall door and came out of the washroom. Luckily there
- 2:06Speaker 1: was no one outside waiting to get in. Now to
- 2:10Speaker 1: my main target, my son, Emmett. I couldn't spot him
- 2:13Speaker 1: at first, but then I heard his voice, Dad, Dad, Look,
- 2:18Speaker 1: i'm flying. Emmett was riding on the unicorn with other kids.
- 2:22Speaker 1: He had a big smile. John waved at him, standing
- 2:25Speaker 1: at a few distances. But what struck me as a
- 2:28Speaker 1: shock was that my son was calling someone else's dad.
- 2:33Speaker 1: No wonder, Pam and John brainwashed him these past two weeks. Ehmitt,
- 2:38Speaker 1: just be here. I need to look for your mom.
- 2:41Speaker 1: She's taken quite some time. Don't go anywhere. I'll be
- 2:43Speaker 1: back soon. John left the scene and I finally saw
- 2:47Speaker 1: a ray of hope. I can talk to my son now.
- 2:50Speaker 1: I walked close to him, and when he noticed me,
- 2:53Speaker 1: his face changed. The smile vanished, and he watched me
- 2:57Speaker 1: with scared eyes. Emmett, honey, it's dad. The ride came
- 3:02Speaker 1: to an end and Emmett got down from it. You're
- 3:05Speaker 1: not my dad. Mom wants me to stay away from you. No, no, look,
- 3:10Speaker 1: Mom was wrong. She's just angry. But you heard her.
- 3:15Speaker 1: I heard her crying when you came home, tipsy. I
- 3:18Speaker 1: just drank a lot of orange juice of it? It does
- 3:20Speaker 1: it make daddy a bad guy. I'll explain everything, but first,
- 3:24Speaker 1: let me buy you an ice cream? Is that okay?
- 3:27Speaker 1: Emmett looked around and then thought for a second. Okay,
- 3:33Speaker 1: good boy, come with me. After a long time, my
- 3:36Speaker 1: son held my hand. My witch wife filled his innocent
- 3:40Speaker 1: brain with lies, and now he thinks I'm some villain.
- 3:44Speaker 1: I bought her ice cream and sat down on the
- 3:46Speaker 1: bench next to the ferris wheel. I brushed my hand
- 3:49Speaker 1: over his head with great care. Emmett, will you like
- 3:53Speaker 1: to go somewhere great? Where? To this big house with
- 3:57Speaker 1: a fish pond? You can feed them all day? But
- 4:00Speaker 1: what about daddy. He said not to leave the park.
- 4:03Speaker 1: He's not your dad. Emmett, I am by. The police
- 4:07Speaker 1: said you're bad for us. Well they're wrong, and so
- 4:10Speaker 1: is your mother. But she won't be trouble anymore. Come on,
- 4:14Speaker 1: let's go. I grabbed Emmett's hand and got up to
- 4:17Speaker 1: walk away, but he didn't get up with me. No, no,
- 4:22Speaker 1: it's me your dad boy, Come with me. No, I
- 4:26Speaker 1: don't want to go with you. Leave me, but why,
- 4:29Speaker 1: I'll do anything for you. You're my son. Leave me or
- 4:33Speaker 1: I'll scream. From the corner of my eyes, I saw
- 4:36Speaker 1: three security guards looking at me and Emmett. If he screams,
- 4:40Speaker 1: I'll get in trouble. So it has come to this
- 4:43Speaker 1: now there's no other way. Then okay, you don't have
- 4:46Speaker 1: to leave the park. Would you like to take one
- 4:49Speaker 1: last ride with your real dad? Please? Wait? Try? How
- 4:53Speaker 1: about the ferris wheel? But it scares me. Oh, don't worry,
- 4:58Speaker 1: I'll hold your hand. We got on the Ferriss wheel.
- 5:02Speaker 1: The rides started to move up. Just then I heard
- 5:05Speaker 1: John screaming, there he is. He killed my wife and
- 5:09Speaker 1: now trying to hurt my son. Dmit. The security guards
- 5:13Speaker 1: gathered under the ferris wheel. We were at the top
- 5:16Speaker 1: of the wheel, from where the entire park was visible.
- 5:19Speaker 1: But before they could get us down, I screamed, don't
- 5:23Speaker 1: take it down or I'll throw the kid. No stop.
- 5:27Speaker 1: Emmett started crying, but I was all determined this time.
- 5:31Speaker 1: I'm not letting my son leave me. I'm going to
- 5:34Speaker 1: end my life and take him with me. But things
- 5:38Speaker 1: don't always go as planned. As I grabbed Emmett's hand
- 5:42Speaker 1: and ready to jump, he suddenly pushed me in fear.
- 5:46Speaker 1: I lost my balance and his small hands slipped from
- 5:49Speaker 1: my sweaty palm. While falling, I could see his teary
- 5:53Speaker 1: eyes watching me. One last time, I fell from the
- 5:57Speaker 1: top of the Ferriss wheel, but I didn't die. I
- 6:00Speaker 1: now leave in this mental institution. I can't walk or move.
- 6:05Speaker 1: I sit in a wheelchair the entire day. I was
- 6:08Speaker 1: charged with first degree murder and child abduction, but my
- 6:12Speaker 1: poor condition made me skip death row. I lost my
- 6:16Speaker 1: family and my life. I just don't have hope to
- 6:20Speaker 1: get my son back anymore. After all, I was a
- 6:24Speaker 1: deranged father and an abusive husband. I did all the
- 6:28Speaker 1: wrong things, and I hope those who are watching my
- 6:31Speaker 1: story don't make the same mistakes as me. Hold that
- 6:36Speaker 1: family close to your chest as long as you have
- 6:39Speaker 1: the time. I have always hated mirrors, ever since I
- 6:46Speaker 1: was a kid. I found them creepy. There was something
- 6:49Speaker 1: terrifying about looking into one and seeing yourself staring right back,
- 6:53Speaker 1: with the same hair and the same smile. But it
- 6:56Speaker 1: was never quite you, was it. It was always wrong,
- 7:00Speaker 1: somehow inverted, and if you looked long enough, that reflection
- 7:05Speaker 1: started to look like a completely different person. These thoughts
- 7:08Speaker 1: ran through my mind as I stood outside the building
- 7:11Speaker 1: labeled House of Mirrors. It was part of the act
- 7:14Speaker 1: of some rundown carnival that came through my city once
- 7:17Speaker 1: or twice every year. Every time they rolled around with
- 7:20Speaker 1: their tents and banners, I'd hold out hope that they'd
- 7:23Speaker 1: finally brought something interesting along. Every time I was treated
- 7:28Speaker 1: to the same boring acts they had last year and
- 7:31Speaker 1: the year before that. A strong man who was too
- 7:34Speaker 1: old to carry himself around these days. A phony oracle
- 7:37Speaker 1: who looked her clients up on Facebook while she prepared
- 7:41Speaker 1: for the seance and was all, hokey, anyway, are you
- 7:45Speaker 1: gonna go in? Or what it was? Ben, my friend
- 7:48Speaker 1: from school, He always came along with me for stuff
- 7:51Speaker 1: like this. What four, We both know it's going to
- 7:55Speaker 1: be stupid. Yeah, and we paid ten bucks to get
- 7:59Speaker 1: in here. I squeeze every last scent out of it. Yeah,
- 8:03Speaker 1: might as well. An old man ran out of the
- 8:05Speaker 1: building at that moment. He knelt in the dirt beside
- 8:08Speaker 1: us and sifted some sand through his fingers. There was
- 8:12Speaker 1: something vaguely familiar about him, although I couldn't quite place
- 8:16Speaker 1: where exactly it was that we'd met. Oh no, no,
- 8:20Speaker 1: this is all wrong. I have to go back with that.
- 8:24Speaker 1: He ran back into the House of Mirrors. I exchanged
- 8:27Speaker 1: a look with Ben, What do you think? Is he
- 8:30Speaker 1: a part of the act? Well? If I know, But
- 8:32Speaker 1: at least there's finally something interesting in this dump. I
- 8:36Speaker 1: had never been into the House of Mirrors before. Like
- 8:39Speaker 1: everything else in this place, I had assumed it lacked
- 8:42Speaker 1: any real excitement. But as I stood outside it on
- 8:45Speaker 1: this day, it beckoned to me, and despite myself, I
- 8:49Speaker 1: answered its call. I stepped inside the gaping mouth of
- 8:53Speaker 1: the creepy character painted outside the building and got lost
- 8:57Speaker 1: in the maze of mirrors within. My reflection surrounded me
- 9:00Speaker 1: on every surface, at every corner, each one staring creepily
- 9:04Speaker 1: at me. I felt like I was being watched followed.
- 9:08Speaker 1: I felt my heart begin to race faster. Hello, is
- 9:12Speaker 1: there someone else in here? God, damn it. I wandered
- 9:18Speaker 1: around the House of mirrors for a little while longer,
- 9:21Speaker 1: trying to find my way to the exit. But with
- 9:23Speaker 1: every step I took, I felt a cold fear creep
- 9:26Speaker 1: in closer and closer. Screw this, I'm out of here.
- 9:31Speaker 1: I turned around, hoping to trace my footsteps back to
- 9:35Speaker 1: the entrance, but I soon found that I was lost.
- 9:38Speaker 1: The narrow passages I had walked through just moments ago
- 9:42Speaker 1: had disappeared into the mess of mirrors, and I was
- 9:45Speaker 1: left alone, surrounded by a dozen versions of myself. Ben Ben,
- 9:51Speaker 1: I need help. I can't find my way back. Ben Ben,
- 9:55Speaker 1: can't hears you anymore, No one can. I spun back around, quickly,
- 10:00Speaker 1: trying to follow the sound of the voice, but just
- 10:03Speaker 1: as suddenly as it had come, it was gone. Perhaps
- 10:07Speaker 1: it was the old man we had seen run into
- 10:09Speaker 1: the building earlier, and this was all just part of
- 10:11Speaker 1: the experience. Fine, I'll play along. I spent a while
- 10:16Speaker 1: more wandering the maze of mirrors until I found my
- 10:19Speaker 1: way out. Finally, I practically ran towards the exit, my
- 10:25Speaker 1: mind and body not wanting to spend any more time
- 10:28Speaker 1: inside this building. When I emerged, however, there was no
- 10:33Speaker 1: sign of Ben on the other side. I tried asking
- 10:36Speaker 1: around for him, but everyone on the outside ignored me.
- 10:40Speaker 1: Hey have you seen my friend? He was just standing
- 10:43Speaker 1: right there like five minutes ago. Hey hello. It creeped
- 10:47Speaker 1: me out a bit, to be honest, maybe my breast
- 10:50Speaker 1: smelled weird, or maybe this was all just part of
- 10:53Speaker 1: some elaborate, practical joke being pulled on me by someone.
- 10:57Speaker 1: After asking around for a few minutes and getting no
- 11:00Speaker 1: response from anyone, I decided to head home. Chances were
- 11:04Speaker 1: Ben just got bored and went home. Everything seemed odd somehow.
- 11:09Speaker 1: Inverted cars were on the wrong side of the road,
- 11:12Speaker 1: billboards too. Taxi, Hey taxi. The cab I called just
- 11:18Speaker 1: sped past me without any signs of slowing down, and
- 11:22Speaker 1: it was empty. I started to get worried. The voice
- 11:26Speaker 1: I'd heard back in the House of Mirrors came back
- 11:28Speaker 1: to me. Ben, can't hear you anymore? No one can.
- 11:33Speaker 1: I ran home as fast as my legs could carry me.
- 11:36Speaker 1: I bumped into people on the road, but for some
- 11:39Speaker 1: reason did not seem to notice or care. I started
- 11:43Speaker 1: to get the feeling that something was very wrong. I
- 11:46Speaker 1: arrived at my house soon after and peered in through
- 11:49Speaker 1: the windows. My heart froze, no freaking way. There on
- 11:54Speaker 1: the dining table, eating dinner with the rest of my
- 11:57Speaker 1: family was me, myself another calling, but it was different,
- 12:03Speaker 1: somehow off, just like the reflections back in the House
- 12:07Speaker 1: of Mirrors. But the rest of my family didn't suspect
- 12:11Speaker 1: a thing. I watched the thing disguised as myself until
- 12:15Speaker 1: it finished dinner and headed upstairs. Then I snuck in
- 12:18Speaker 1: after it. I took a deep breath and confronted it
- 12:22Speaker 1: in my room. Who are you and what the hell
- 12:24Speaker 1: are you doing in my house? The thing that was
- 12:27Speaker 1: not me laughed like I had just told a joke.
- 12:31Speaker 1: I reached for a baseball bat in a corner. What
- 12:33Speaker 1: are you gonna do with that? Hit me? You can't.
- 12:37Speaker 1: You're nothing more than a reflection now, my reflection, just
- 12:41Speaker 1: as I once was to you, what are you talking about?
- 12:45Speaker 1: I'm real, to be honest, I didn't sound very convincing.
- 12:50Speaker 1: We both know you aren't. No one can hear you anymore.
- 12:54Speaker 1: You exist in another plane, now inverted. You'd noticed it
- 12:58Speaker 1: too in the mirror beside me, but found that I
- 13:02Speaker 1: had no reflection. I was the reflection, and the thing
- 13:07Speaker 1: that wore my face laughed again. I have your life, now,
- 13:11Speaker 1: your dreams, your hopes, your once. I am you. No, no, no,
- 13:20Speaker 1: I charged at the figure and swung my bat at
- 13:23Speaker 1: its head. That the effect of all my strength, all
- 13:26Speaker 1: my rage, was nothing more than a crack in the mirror.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Hey guys, my name is Louis. If there's one thing
- 13:37Speaker 1: that I'm proud of, it's being Mexican. In my country,
- 13:41Speaker 1: we take our traditions very seriously, and the Day of
- 13:44Speaker 1: the Dead is one of the most important. For this
- 13:47Speaker 1: Day of the Dead, we decided to go to an
- 13:49Speaker 1: amusement park. The park was themed on the Day of
- 13:52Speaker 1: the Dead, and all the employees were dressed up as
- 13:55Speaker 1: skulls or ghosts. The only one of my friends who
- 13:58Speaker 1: seemed uncomfortable was Paid, who kept repeating that this was
- 14:02Speaker 1: very disrespectful and that the dead could take revenge anyway.
- 14:06Speaker 1: We decided to ignore him and we all went to
- 14:09Speaker 1: the bumper cars. At first, we were having fun, but
- 14:12Speaker 1: the cars started to increase their speed. The game went on,
- 14:16Speaker 1: but suddenly my belt mysteriously broke. When I tried to
- 14:20Speaker 1: fix it, I swear an empty car accelerated towards me
- 14:24Speaker 1: and hit me with all its might. Not having my
- 14:27Speaker 1: seat belt buckled, I was thrown out of the car
- 14:30Speaker 1: and got hurt. The employees of the play stopped the game,
- 14:33Speaker 1: and two men with medical badges ran toward me. But
- 14:36Speaker 1: I got up and told them that everything was fine.
- 14:39Speaker 1: I just opened my knee a little bit. My friends
- 14:42Speaker 1: got out of their cars and came running to see me.
- 14:45Speaker 1: Pedro looked terrified. Guys, this is not a coincidence. It's
- 14:50Speaker 1: the dead. We shouldn't be here. This is not honoring them,
- 14:54Speaker 1: this is making fun of them. Oh, come on, Pedro,
- 14:57Speaker 1: you're exaggerating. I watch too much TV. While my friend
- 15:02Speaker 1: was talking, none of them noticed that one of the
- 15:05Speaker 1: cars had its lights on. The car accelerated violently, and
- 15:09Speaker 1: before I could warn him, it ran over Hector. The
- 15:13Speaker 1: car accelerated so violently that his body broke apart and
- 15:17Speaker 1: flew off in pieces. I wanted to get up and
- 15:19Speaker 1: run away, but the doctor not only had not reacted
- 15:23Speaker 1: to Hector's death, but he violently pressed his finger on
- 15:26Speaker 1: the wound of my knee. Ahow, you're hurting me. The
- 15:32Speaker 1: doctor didn't seem to be doing this to me on purpose.
- 15:35Speaker 1: It was like he was hypnotized. My friends tried to
- 15:38Speaker 1: push him away, but he seemed to be obsessed with
- 15:41Speaker 1: squeezing my wound. Pedro kicked him with all of his might,
- 15:45Speaker 1: and the doctor finally fell. As we approached him, we
- 15:49Speaker 1: noticed that he wasn't moving. We walked carefully to where
- 15:52Speaker 1: he was, and when we saw him, we were baffled.
- 15:56Speaker 1: His gaze seemed lost. Meanwhile, his face kept moving as
- 16:01Speaker 1: if they were still squeezing my wound. To our surprise,
- 16:05Speaker 1: no one seemed to care about what we were experiencing.
- 16:08Speaker 1: Everyone in the park was running around in despair. The
- 16:12Speaker 1: riots were out of control. Everyone was running over people
- 16:15Speaker 1: or falling. All the park employees, who were in costumes
- 16:19Speaker 1: their skull masks, were chasing people. They all seemed hypnotized,
- 16:24Speaker 1: staring blankly, like the doctor who was hurting me seconds before.
- 16:28Speaker 1: I told you it's the dead. This day is to
- 16:31Speaker 1: honor them. These people are making fun of them.
- 16:35Speaker 2: Guys.
- 16:36Speaker 1: Maybe I'm crazy, but I think he's right. Are you
- 16:39Speaker 1: saying there are ghosts? In this place. How do you
- 16:42Speaker 1: explain this then?
- 16:43Speaker 2: Is it all a coincidence? Is everyone going crazy and
- 16:46Speaker 2: the games are failing by chance?
- 16:48Speaker 1: Whatever it is. We have to get out of here
- 16:50Speaker 1: will end up like Hector. It's true. Come on the
- 16:53Speaker 1: exits this way. Molina and I followed Pedro. The way
- 16:57Speaker 1: to the exit seemed quite clear, but some things surprised us.
- 17:01Speaker 1: A mechanical bull near the exit started to spark, and
- 17:05Speaker 1: after a few seconds it generated a big fire that
- 17:08Speaker 1: spread to the entrance of the park. People piled up
- 17:12Speaker 1: at the exit and more and more obstacles were on fire.
- 17:16Speaker 1: We started to avoid them and to overcome the people.
- 17:20Speaker 1: The exit was very close, but in front of our eyes,
- 17:23Speaker 1: Pedro fell. We tried to pick him up, but people
- 17:27Speaker 1: were running faster and faster, and it was impossible to
- 17:30Speaker 1: bend down to pick him up. We could make some
- 17:33Speaker 1: space to lift him, but it was too late. Pedro
- 17:37Speaker 1: was dead. In those seconds that he fell, people had
- 17:41Speaker 1: run over him, crushing him to death. Molina tried to
- 17:44Speaker 1: carry him, but stopped her. He was no longer breathing.
- 17:49Speaker 1: Melina was only carrying a corpse on her shoulders. Melina,
- 17:53Speaker 1: we have to go now. This will burn. No, Louis,
- 17:58Speaker 1: I can't leave him. You must He's already dead. You
- 18:01Speaker 1: don't understand. I can't leave him. I love him. Run
- 18:07Speaker 1: you go, save yourself. I'll stay. I wanted to force
- 18:10Speaker 1: Melina to come with me, but she had already made
- 18:13Speaker 1: her decision. I ran as fast as I could, and
- 18:16Speaker 1: when I turned around, I saw how three amusement park
- 18:19Speaker 1: employees cornered Melina started stabbing her. My friend fell to
- 18:25Speaker 1: the ground. Still not satisfied, they kept stabbing her again
- 18:29Speaker 1: and again. I could only keep running. I was almost
- 18:33Speaker 1: at the exit. I had made it. I was escaping.
- 18:37Speaker 1: As I went through the exit door, I looked up
- 18:40Speaker 1: and the only thing I remember was seeing a huge
- 18:43Speaker 1: burning sign fall on top of my head. Ah, and
- 18:47Speaker 1: that's how I woke up. It was all a dream.
- 18:51Speaker 1: It was so real. The crash with the bumper car
- 18:54Speaker 1: was worse than I thought because I had hit my
- 18:56Speaker 1: head and passed out. The doctors were able to take
- 18:59Speaker 1: me to the hospital, but I got up and promised
- 19:02Speaker 1: to leave. Hey guys, we can't leave yet, are you crazy?
- 19:07Speaker 1: Lewis almost died, but he's okay. Now, come on, let's
- 19:10Speaker 1: go on the roller coaster at least once. No, don't
- 19:13Speaker 1: you guys understand that Luis's accident was at a coincidence.
- 19:17Speaker 1: This place is evil, dead people don't like it here. Hey, guys,
- 19:21Speaker 1: I'm fine. I can go on the roller coaster. Are
- 19:24Speaker 1: you sure, Louis? Oh? Come on? What could happen? I
- 19:28Speaker 1: wanted to tell them about the dream, but I decided
- 19:31Speaker 1: not to. I'll do it another day now. I just
- 19:34Speaker 1: want to enjoy the roller coaster and go to rest.
