[0:00] Black screen; at 0:03, white text appears: "Entry #72"
[0:14] Jay is getting out of a car onto a gravel driveway.
[0:15] Jay: How are we supposed to get inside?
[0:16] Camera swings over to show Tim standing on the other side of the car.
[0:17] Tim: Guess we’ll find out.
[0:19] Jay begins walking down the walkway of Alex’s old house.
[0:22] Jay: I guess we can always break a window. Hopefully it won’t come to that.
[0:28] Tim: Well, that “for rent” sign over there looks like it’s been there for quite a while so I don’t know if anybody would even notice.
[0:35] Jay walks towards the back of the house and scans the backyard.
[0:38] Jay: This is weird. I remember this area being a lot more wooded than this. But, of course, my memory of here is very spotty already.
[0:44] Jay turns back around to where Tim is opening the screen door of the house.
[0:49] Tim: You know, that’s kind of a difficult thing to deal with but just remember, you’re not the only one, if that helps.
[0:55] Jay: I guess.
[0:56] Tim: Fingers crossed.
[0:57] Jay: Yeah.
[0:59] Tim turns the doorknob and the door immediately opens. Tim looks over at Jay and pushes the door open the rest of the way.
[1:01] Jay: Oh.
[1:02] Tim: Huh.
[1:03] Jay: Is it that easy?
[1:04] Tim walks into the empty house with Jay right behind him.
[1:04] Tim: Don’t jinx it. It’ll never happen again. Nice place.
[1:09] Jay pulls the door shut behind him and walks over to what looks like a laundry room or bathroom.
[1:11] Jay: Why would whoever owns this place just leave it unlocked like that?
[1:14] Tim: Probably didn’t expect people like us to just wander in here. I don’t know if anyone else has lived here after Alex did but if so, I don’t know if we’re gonna find much of anything. It’s worth a shot though.
[1:25] Tim and Jay head into the kitchen and start looking in the cabinet, all of which seem to be empty.
[1:27] Jay: Hopefully we’ll find something that’ll help us get to Alex before he gets to us. I don’t know what that would be though.
[1:34] Tim: I think we’re a little closer now. I mean, we finally know how you got roped into this for real. It’s better than nothing I guess.
[1:43] Jay: I guess but it still doesn’t make sense to me. I mean, why did he give me the tapes in the first place?
[1:50] Tim: Well, honestly, I think he got mixed up in things he couldn’t control and he gave you the tapes that made him look like the victim rather than the cause.
[2:03] Jay: Yeah. Maybe. Why did he just attack me like that after he gave them to me?
[2:11] Tim: Well, you heard him talking to Amy on the phone on that tape. Doesn’t sound like a killer to me. A liar, maybe. Whenever he attacked you, that didn’t look planned. I think he panicked and that’s why he took off.
[2:26] Jay: Yeah. Maybe he tried to burn that tape of him talking to Amy because he didn’t want anyone else but her to know where he was going.
[2:35] Tim: That’s entirely possible. There’s the only way we can know for sure is to ask him and…
[2:40] Jay: We can’t exactly do that.
[2:42] Tim: Yeah. I don’t think there’s anything in here.
[2:44] Tim opens a hall door which leads down into the basement.
[2:45] Jay: Is that like a closet?
[2:47] Tim: No, basement.
[2:48] Tim flips the light switches on and off, but nothing happens.
[2:50] Tim: Did you, uh, did you bring the flashlights by any chance?
[2:53] Jay tries the light switches again with no effect.
[2:55] Jay: Yeah but they’re still in your car.
[2:57] Tim: Oh. We can come back after we look at the rest of the house.
[3:01] Jay: Alright.
[3:05] Tim and Jay walk into another hallway. Tim heads to one room while Jay walks towards the room at the end of the hall.
[3:09] Jay: Check in there, I’ll check this room.
[3:10] Tim: Alright.
[3:11] Jay goes into the bedroom at the end of the hallway. He heads towards the closet.
[3:16] Jay: I think this is the closet in here that Alex hid that box of tapes in.
[3:21] Jay opens the closet, which is seemingly empty.
[3:22] Tim: There could be any more in there.
[3:24] Jay: Yeah, there’s nothing in here.
[3:28] Jay checks the top shelf of the closet, where some papers are just visible.
[3:29] Jay: Oh, wait, hold on. Come here.
[3:33] Jay grabs the pile of papers off the shelf. They look similar to the paper that Alex drew in Entry #8.
[3:35] Tim: Find something?
[3:36] Jay: Yeah, I think so. Ugh, more of these.
[3:40] Jay turns and hands the papers to Tim, who spread them out on the floor. The names of the Marble Hornets cast are visible on the various pages, all of which are crossed out. The Operator symbol is shown on most of the pages, as well at drawings of trees and saying such as “Dread comes”, “Sees me”, “Can’t see” and “Stay inside.”
[3:50] Jay: See anything?
[3:53] Tim: See a bunch of crossed off names.
[3:57] Jay sighs and looks up and out the window facing the backyard. There’s a very slight audio distortion as Jay drops quickly down out of sight of the window. Tim moves beneath the window as well.
[4:02] Jay: Get down, get down.
[4:05] Tim: (whispers) What?
[4:07] Jay: (whispers) Shhhh! It’s outside.
[4:11] Tim: (whispers) You sure?
[4:12] Jay: (whispers) Yeah.
[4:13] Tim slows raises up to peek out the window.
[4:14] Jay: (whispers) Hey, stay down. Stay down. Tim.
[4:19] Tim: (whispers) Where?
[4:23] Jay: (whispers) It’s out there in the tall grass, don’t you see it?
[4:26] Tim: (whispers) No. I don’t see anything.
[4:29] Jay stands up to look out the window as well. There’s nothing outside but an empty field.
[4:38] Jay: It was right out there in that tall grass.
[4:39] Tim: There’s nothing out here now.
[4:43] Jay: I pointed the camera at it. Here, hold on.
[4:47] Tim: Jay, look, don’t…
[4:48] Jay: I’m gonna rewind it, just a second.
[4:49] The screen briefly goes black.
[4:51] The video resumes.
[4:52] Tim: …get you to a doctor soon.
[4:53] Jay: But I’m fine, I’m not stupid. I know what I saw.
[4:56] Tim: I never said you were stupid but this is the second time this has happened and in case you forgotten, I have some experience with hallucinations.
[5:03] Jay: I don’t think I was hallucinating. I just haven’t had a full night’s sleep in, what, two or three years because of all this?
[5:09] Tim: Look, as soon as we get out of here, we need to take you someplace to get help because this stuff does not go away, trust me.
[5:15] Jay: I don’t need help, I’m fine.
[5:16] Tim: This is how it started with me. Is that how you want to end up?
[5:22] Jay: I’ll be okay.
[5:24] Tim: Look, we just got a couple more rooms left to look at and then, we can figure out what to do after that. Let’s just get the flashlights out of the car so we can check the attic.
[5:32] Tim bends down and picks the papers up off of the floor.
[5:35] Tim: Put these in there too.
[5:36] Jay: Where’s the attic? Oh, there.
[5:37] Tim: Right there.
[5:40] Tim and Jay walk out of the house and back to Tim’s car.
[5:56] Jay: I think I put the flashlights in the trunk.
[5:58] Tim: Okay. Put these in my bag I guess.
[6:05] Jay opens the trunk and moves to unzip the main pocket of Tim’s bag.
[6:06] Tim: No, top pocket, top pocket.
[6:07] Jay: Oh, okay.
[6:08] Jay unzips the top pocket and Tim shoves the papers in the bag and rezips it.
[6:13] Jay: There’s the flashlights right there.
[6:15] Tim grabs two flashlights and hands one to Jay.
[6:16] Tim: Here you go.
[6:17] Jay: Thanks.
[6:19] Tim shuts the trunk and they head back into the house.
[6:22] Jay: We should go check those other two bedrooms because I only looked in the one.
[6:26] Tim: Okay.
[6:30] Jay: I don’t think anything’ll be in them but we might as well.
[6:38] Jay heads towards one bedroom as Tim turns in another direction.
[6:40] Tim: I’ll check this one right here.
[6:41] Jay: Oh, yeah.
[6:48] Jay follows Tim into another bedroom. He looks out the window into the backyard.
[6:52] Tim: Can you give me a hand with this real quick?
[6:54] Jay: What, is it jammed?
[6:55] Tim: Yeah.
[6:56] Jay: Uh, yeah, let me set the camera down.
[6:58] Jay sets his flashlight and camera down on the window ledge with the camera facing the backyard. The Operator is standing out in the tall grass where Jay claimed to see him earlier. There is a visible darkening of the day although it remains daytime. The sound of the closet opening comes from off camera. Jay picks the camera and flashlight back up and heads towards the closet.
[7:12] Jay: Anything?
[7:15] Tim: Nope. I don’t see anything.
[7:20] Jay: Well, that was a waste of time.
[7:21] Tim: Yep. All we got’s this last one.
[7:28] Jay follows Tim into the final bedroom, which is as empty as the last.
[7:36] Tim: Air vent and nothing else. No more bedrooms.
[7:44] Jay: Well, we got the attic in here we can look in.
[7:47] Tim: We’re gonna need a ladder to get up there.
[7:49] Jay: Yeah. I don’t know, you think there might be one in the basement?
[7:54] Tim: I mean, we gotta go down there anyway. May as well look.
[7:55] Jay: Yeah.
[8:05] They turn their flashlights on and head down the basement steps. The basement is dark and completely empty, with pipes exposed in the ceiling.
[8:25] Tim: Basement’s even emptier than the rest of the house.
[8:28] Jay: Yeah. It’s darker than I thought it would be.
[8:30] Jay continues to look back and forth near the stairwell while Tim moves to investigate the rest of the basement.
[8:44] Tim: Jay. What time is it?
[8:47] Jay: Huh?
[8:48] Tim: What time is it?
[8:50] Jay: I don’t know, why?
[8:52] Tim: Look at the window. Come here.
[8:55] Tim gestures for Jay to come closer while still staring out a window. Jay moves over to the window and looks outside. It’s full dark with the moon high in the sky.
[8:59] Jay: Is that outside?
[9:01] Tim: Yeah. Come on, we gotta get out of here. We gotta get out of here now.
[9:05] Jay: Let’s go.
[9:06] They turn to head back to the stairway to find the Operator standing in front of it. Heavy audio and video distortion begins as soon as TO is visible.
[9:07] Tim: Jay! Get outside! Come on!
[9:11] Tim and Jay run out of the basement door into the backyard. The distortion lessens as they get further away from the house until Jay begins to cough, which causes the audio to buzz slightly. Tim jumps the fence in front of Jay.
[9:25] Jay: Here, take the camera.
[9:27] Tim takes the camera and runs further out into the field.
[9:30] Tim: Come on, out this way. Come on, hurry up.
[9:35] Tim looks around and Jay is nowhere in sight.
[9:37] Tim: Jay? Jay! Jay!
[9:40] Tim continues to yell for Jay as he runs through the field. He begins to cough heavily as the audio and video distort. He stops for a moment and takes a pill, which seems to stop both his cough and the distortion. As Tim calls for Jay again, there’s a light from a flashlight seen coming from the direction of the house. Tim runs back towards the house and slows as he reaches the fence and sees Jay lying on the ground outside of the house. Tim begins to run towards Jay, who appears to be having a seizure.
[11:45] Tim: No! No, Jay, stay with me! Stay with me! Come on, hold on!
[11:49] The audio distortion starts again, light at first but growing heavier and heavier. Tim drops the camera next to Jay at 11:55 and we can see the Operator standing next to the house. Tim slowly walks toward it and its face visibly turns towards Tim. Tim drops to his knees as the audio and video distortion gets worse. He stands up but collapses again just before the Operator disappears amid one last burst of distortion.
[12:29] Tim stands up and looks at where the Operator had been standing. He turns and runs back to where Jay is laying, no longer seizing but coughing heavily.
[12:48] Tim: Jay. Come on, let’s get out of here. Come on, wake up. Can you hear me? Come on, stay with me, buddy.
[12:55] Jay rolls over and mumbles incoherently.
[12:57] Tim: Come on. Come on, we gotta get to the car. Let’s get to the car and then we can get outta here. Come on.
[13:02] Tim pulls Jay back up to his feet and grabs the flashlight. They head off towards Tim’s car.
[13:08] Jay: Where’s…where we going?
[13:09] Tim: We’re going to the car. It’s right up ahead.
[13:12] Jay: Okay. You get your flashlight?
[13:14] Tim: Yeah, yeah, I got it. You’re gonna be alright.
[13:28] Jay continues coughing as he pulls himself into Tim’s car.
[13:38] Jay: Here, I got the camera. Let me close this door.
[13:44] There’s a small audio distortion as Jay shuts the car door. Tim starts the car and backs away from the house quickly. Both are coughing as they pull out into the road and away from the house.
[14:04] Cut to black.
