[0:00] Black screen; at 0:02 white text appears: "Entry #52"
[0:12] Jay is sitting in his car, looking out the window.
[0:13] Jay: I’m here at Rosswood Park again. I’m waiting on Alex again. Last night, I, uh, watched the tape that I took from his apartment. And it is abundantly clear that I should not be trusting him at all right now. I don’t know what exactly happened to Brian. I probably don’t want to know exactly what happened to Brian. All I do know, or at least what I think I know, is that Alex knew that something was going to happen when he brought him there. He didn’t care about shooting Marble Hornets, for all I know, he wanted Brian out of the way. Um, Jessica’s on her way to meet Alex and I here. She knew that whatever it is that Alex has to show us has something to do with Amy so I guess she thinks that following a stranger into the woods is a good idea. Even though, I’m not really one to judge ‘cause following Alex into the woods is a terrible idea, period. But, I mean, I’m not gonna tell her that, I don’t wanna scare her or anything. It might be nothing, he might actually show us something. But if he does try anything, I’m gonna make sure that Jessica gets out. Whatever it is that I have to do to make sure of that, I don’t care. So I guess that, uh, my confession or whatever, about what happened, in case anything does happen to me.
[2:02] Jay reaches over and turns off the camera.
[2:06] Jessica is leaning against the hood of her car. Neither her or Jay are talking. They look over as Alex parks his car and gets out.
[2:22] Alex: Follow me. It’s this way.
[2:27] Jessica: How far in is it?
[2:30] Alex gestures for them to follow him. They head towards the woods.
[2:36] They’re walking in the woods, still following Alex.
[2:40] Jay: How much farther is it?
[2:43] Alex: Right up here. Not much longer.
[2:47] Jay: Alex, why don’t you just tell us where we’re going? You’re not doing a very good job at putting either of us at ease.
[2:51] Alex: Look, it’s a little difficult to put into words. You’re just gonna have to see it for yourself. Let’s go.
[2:57] Jay: Hold on. Hold on, let’s put a little distance between us and him.
[2:58] Jay and Jessica stop for a moment and wait for Alex to get ahead of them. Jessica looks behind them.
[3:00] Jessica: I think I hear footsteps or something behind us.
[3:03] Jay looks back at the empty trail then back at Jessica.
[3:06] Jessica: I think somebody’s following us.
[3:08] Jay: Let’s keep walking.
[3:09] They begin following Alex again.
[3:20] Jay, Jessica and Alex approach a large building. Tim in his mask can just be made out in the corner of an upper window.
[3:31] Alex: It’s in here.
[3:32] They enter the building and go upstairs.
[3:37] Jay: (whispers) Stay behind me.
[3:54] Alex: It’s over there.
[3:56] Jay: What is it we’re looking for?
[3:58] Alex: You wanted your answers, it’s over there! I don’t want to see it again.
[4:02] Jay and Jessica walk towards the back of the building.
[4:09] Jay: Alex, just tell us what it is.
[4:10] Jay turns back around to face Alex, who is holding a gun at him and Jessica.
[4:11] Alex: I know you stole that tape from me. The one with Brian on it. And I know you’ve been following me too.
[4:12] Jessica: (talking over Alex) That’s a gun!
[4:14] Jay: What?
[4:15] Alex: I’ve had plenty of chances to do this.
[4:17] Jessica: So you’re going to kill us?
[4:18] Alex: I didn’t want Jessica involved! That’s why I told her I found Amy! That’s your fault! When I gave you those tapes, I told you to never mention them again! I thought that implied not sharing them with the world!
[4:20] Jay: (over Alex) Just, just let us go!
[4:22] Jessica: Alex, please!
[4:23] Tim comes out from around a corner behind Alex and begins to approach him from behind.
[4:24] Jay: (over Alex) Don’t do this, Alex.
[4:27] Jessica: Alex, please don’t do this!
[4:28] Jay: I didn’t know! I didn’t know any of this would happen!
[4:29] Alex: I never should have gave you those tapes in the first place! I should have burned them when I…
[4:32] Tim grabs Alex from behind and starts pulling him away from the staircase. Jay and Jessica run towards the staircase.
[4:33] Jay: Go! Go!
[4:34] There are sounds of a struggle as Jay and Jessica run down the stairs. A gunshot is heard at 4:39 and Jessica screams. There is some mild audio distortion until the screen goes black at 4:48.
[4:49] Jay and Jessica run across the parking lot to their cars.
[4:50] Jessica: Where are we going? What do we do now?
[4:52] Jay: Uh, go back to your place, pack something, pack lightly, and meet me at the hotel over on….in about an hour. We need to go somewhere that he’s not going to think to look for us and we’ll figure out what to do from there, okay?
[4:57] Jessica nods at Jay and drives off. Jay walks over to Alex’s car and looks in, noticing the camera bag and chest cam sitting on the passenger seat. He sticks his arm in through the open window and unlocks and opens the car door. He grabs the stuff off the seat and runs over to his car. The screen goes black at 6:01.
[6:05] Jay goes through the camera bag and finds a external hard drive. Jessica gets out of her car next to Jay and he walks around to meet her.
[6:17] Jay: You got everything you need?
[6:18] Jessica: Yeah.
[6:20] Jay: Uh, I think we should just stay in our hotel rooms for the rest of the day and then we’ll figure out where we’re going tomorrow. Um, before you check in, these right here, these are all the tapes that I’ve been shooting on my camera. All of my interactions with Alex and everything are on all of these tapes. This one right here (Jay pulls out the tape marked 56-42) is really important. This is the one I took out of Alex’s apartment that he didn’t want me to see. Oh, and one more thing, there’s this hard drive that I took from him. I don’t know what’s on it but I’m pretty sure it’s important. So, I’m gonna take all the stuff, just in case anything happens, I’m gonna put it in the safe that’s in my room. So I need a four digit combination that both of us can remember, just in case you need to get in for any reason.
[7:05] Jessica: Just use 1234.
[7:08] Jay: No, that’s too easy. That’s the first thing I’d try.
[7:13] Jessica: Well, how about the last four digits of my phone number? That’s easy to remember.
[7:15] Jay: What is it?
[7:17] Jessica: It’s 1102.
[7:21] Jay: Yeah, I can remember that. That’s fine.
[7:23] Jessica: Okay, I’m gonna go check in. My head’s killing me.
[7:26] Jay: Alright.
[7:27] Jessica walks into the hotel, coughing as she goes. Jay zips up his bag and the screen goes black at 7:38.
[7:40] Jay is putting the tapes into his hotel safe. He hides the camera bag in the trunk of his car and goes back into the hotel.
[8:56] Jay looks out his room window and then walks to the bed. He picks up the chest cam and puts it on, then moves the hand camera over to the bed. He lays down on the bed until Jessica is heard screaming from her room at 10:07. He jumps out of bed, grabs the camera and starts banging on the door between their hotel rooms.
[10:20] Jay: Jessica! Jessica, open the door!
[10:23] Video and audio begin distorting. Jay turns to face his room again and see the Operator standing next to the window. Jay yelling “What do you want? Leave us alone!” can just be heard through the distortion. He runs at the Operator, who raises his arms just as Jay approaches him. The screen goes black.
[10:35] The video glitches back into view. It looks like the camera is being rolled around on the floor while the audio cuts in and out.
[10:43] Jay is laying on the floor, looking up. The video is fuzzy and overbright. He quickly disappears out of frame. The screen goes black, but some faint audio distortion can still be heard.
[10:48] Jay is laying facedown on the floor, not moving. There is faint audio distortion that gets louder as the shot continues. The screen goes black at 11:02.
[11:05] White text on screen: “The final tape ends there. Entry #27 must’ve been the next morning. At some point, I had to of gotten back in the bed and put the camera on the tripod.”
[11:17] White text over a shot from the beginning of Entry #27: “The chest camera also stopped recording around the same time, and didn’t start again until shortly before I woke up the next day.”
[11:41] White text over footage of Jay driving: “In the months that I’ve been watching the tapes from the safe, I’ve seen how dangerous Alex really is.”
[11:53] White text over footage of Alex breaking Tim’s leg in Entry #35, the Operator standing in Alex’s apartment in Entry #46, Alex attacking the man in Entry #49, Brian being dragged in Entry #51 and Alex holding the gun in Entry #52: “Looking back on it, he never intended to help me. He probably just wanted the opportunity to tie up another loose end like he did with the others.”
[12:15] White text over footage of Jay driving: “I’m not going to sit around and let him get away with this anymore. If he’s still alive, I’m going to find him.”
[12:25] White text over footage of Jay driving: “I thought the tapes might show me where he’s gone, but they never show him leaving the town near Rosswood Park.”
[12:37] White text on screen: “Since there’s no other choice, I’ve come back to look for either him or a clue as to where he may be now.”
[12:47] White text on screen: “Or what happened to Jessica.”
[12:56] White text on screen: “Yesterday, my first day back, I saw this in the downtown area:”
[13:02] Shot starts on a tree covered in blue bottles. Jay turns and zooms in on Tim standing in front of a building. He lights a cigarette and starts walking away from Jay. Jay follows him. Screen goes to black at 13:45.
[13:48] White text on screen: “It was Tim, and he seemed to be acting normal.”
[13:55] White text on screen: “I kept my distance, and ended up losing him shortly after this.”
[14:02] White text on screen: “I’m going to keep a low profile while I try to figure out what he’s doing here.”
[14:11] White text on screen: “I’ll upload more entries once something happens, but I don’t know how long that will take.”
[14:22] White text on screen: “Regardless, I’m going to see this through to the end.”
