THE Innkeeper
CHAPTER ONE THE LONG WEEKEND
WE CLOSE SOON
How you doing, Claire?
So this is it, huh?
The end of the day.
Have you talked to Ron?
Ron's at snorkeling in Barbados.
He definitely did not want to be disturbed.
If you are the owner, You could also sit there.
Yes, especially if there are two home idiots take over the work.
If your camera is already fixed? - No.
I need him to return those bastards from Pentax.
I have my microphone. The IVP studies succeed so well.
Well.
That makes me think.
I have something to show.
I searched last night what paranormal forums.
I found something interesting on. This you will definitely want to see.
What is it?
Wait a minute.
Look concentrated.
I saw it the first time on. You will be amazed.
Serious stuff.
Bastard.
As well.
My God, every time.
Good heavens.
Which room do you have?
216.
Of course. - I've been here since yesterday.
225 is busy.
All the rest is freely available.
Only the second floor. The third has already happened.
But a guest? Coarse. - No wonder we are bankrupt.
Well, I'll take room 214.
We do shifts of 12 hours? - Sounds good. I bring it back.
If you simply like to draw?
This is your key. Room 224.
If the stairs, and twice to the right ...
then the room on your right side.
You can not miss it.
Thank you.
Do you know who that is?
It's Leanne Jones-Reas.
Like the mother in Mother Like Son.
She is very famous. - So what?
Leanne Reas-Jones. What would she do here?
She was guest speaker at a Town meeting in Pots.
How do you know? - That's what she told me.
What? What else? - Nothing. Why are you so weird?
I do not. - Here is her signature. Calm.
Why are you so grumpy today? - I just stress. Fucking site.
Let's see.
Looks good.
I hate Webdesign.
It Looks very good.
That's cool little ghost.
Not the most professional, but it is passable.
You can a lot of money tricks, So I had to act quickly.
Looks good. Nice.
And if there is evidence stands up, does not get out of sight.
I thought of something.
If something scary happens, there is usually no one around.
When you see things, you were alone.
Perhaps we are likely in contact with such an empty hotel.
Does that make sense? - Yes.
This is it. I feel it.
What? - What?
With the reception.
Yes, Mrs. Jones-Reas.
Yes, I bring them right up.
You're welcome.
I forgot the towels. - I get them.
Well, because the lady in room 225 drives me crazy. She can not see me.
That lady with the child? She really gave me the chills.
She had quarreled with her husband and stay here till Sunday in retaliation.
She is very difficult and wants him to know ...
how difficult his life without her.
How do you know all? - That's what she told me.
Why do you always so surprised I talk with the guests?
Forward, superfan, let the towels not wait.
Mrs. Reas-Jones, I have your towels.
Mrs. Reas-Jones?
Would you like to give me one?
Thank you.
You're welcome, Mrs. Reas-Jones.
You can call me Lee.
What is your name, dear? - Claire.
You're a lifesaver.
No, I can not take.
Come on, otherwise you hurt an old woman 'r feelings.
Thank you, Mrs. Lee.
I am a huge fan of yours
Like Mother Like Son was my favorite program.
And you were great in there. And ...
The Awakening Of Eleanor.
Great film.
I looked there was always with my mother.
I even wear my hair like you.
Thank you. That is very sweet.
And what do you do for a living? - Receptionist.
If you need something else, let me know ...
This is our last weekend before we close for good.
Luke and I are today the only staff.
We even sleep here. Really crazy.
I mean in real life. An actress giving you a fan?
I? No.
I work just front of the hotel.
But I do here and there.
The towels.
Exactly, yes.
Please.
How'd it go?
Will you work together or something?
She gave me a bad feeling.
She is an actress.
What do you mean?
What do you know of actresses?
Not much but something.
Why do you do?
Why so negative?
I'm just being realistic.
Pessimist. - This is a higher form of optimism.
If you expect nothing from people, are you pleasantly surprised through life.
Yes, but nobody can find a great albatross.
I need coffee. You? - No.
All right.
How you doing?
What are you drinking?
Take your time. For questions, but imagine them.
Cyclops has one eye but not always?
Why?
Forget it.
I take a ...
Soy mocha latte a large with a little caramel.
Good choice.
How are you right?
Well.
Can I be honest?
I know we do not so well know, but I'm always ...
and we are both girls.
Next Sunday I go with my Friend picnics.
I am excited about and it is determined romantic ...
but I'm not entirely enthusiastic bothers me because there is something in our relationship ...
after one year because he still not 'I love you, "said.
I have to talk to someone because I'm not to ask.
He said it with a message. That's true.
But that would not count.
And so I wonder ...
Where is your coffee?
They were sold out.
Is that annoying girl there?
Yes.
What a loser.
Gigantic.
Do you ever, or you work was the right choice?
Every day.
Why do people such high expectations?
Everything happens for a reason.
No one is just right In the Yankee Pedlar.
Probably.
You know that I really sit ... - Wait a minute.
My eyes feel if eye drops in it.
I need sleep.
What?
Sorry, I'm exhausted. We talk tomorrow about your crisis quarter of your life.
I just need some sleep.
Let your computer do stand.
What? I do not hack the system. I want to find some shoes.
And it's just so boring.
And my book is rotslecht.
Well, just be careful.
Of course.
And if you want to get something to record.
The sensor charging. You know how you use it?
Sure.
A ghost in this hotel.
Good night.
Where is your website?
I must look about to start.
MADELINE O'MALLEY: WIDOW OF Yankee Pedlar
Creepy.
Eng.
Damn it. I can not go to work.
I do not want to scare, but I stand behind you. Sorry.
For God's sake.
Goodness, you did scare me to death.
What are you doing here even?
I heard a noise. - Such as?
As a man pleading.
I could not sleep. We can change if you want.
Well.
Sorry.
Damn.
CHAPTER TWO MADELINE O'MALLEY
Do you know the story of Madeline O'Malley?
She died in this hotel.
She hanged herself after her allowed to stand her fiance on their wedding day.
The first owners of 't Hotel did not want negative publicity ...
making her body three days hid in the wooden basement.
Before she could smuggle to the loading and unloading docks.
When the people of the city finally by what had happened ...
they were shocked. The owners had it sell hotel.
Nobody even came here to until the year 60.
And since then, people the spirit of Madeline O'Malley ...
along the corridors to see ghosts waiting for her lover.
Some would even a new lover.
Excuse me? What are you doing?
Mommy.
What happens? - She says come and get me a ghost.
I never said. - What's wrong with you?
He's just a kid.
Sweetheart.
It's not real.
It's just a story.
I do not need this. My life has been such a hell.
Yes, ma'am.
And you. We have still need towels.
It's me tired to ask. Not care that I'm the bad guy.
Exactly, yes.
We have 225 rooms. - Yeah, I know.
I work at the hotel.
Come on, sweetheart. It's just a story.
I have bought cheap bread and you can taste it.
Never do. That you will always regret.
Why is she here, do you think?
Not a clue.
The prices are not cheap.
This hotel off Route 13 is much better. - No, Madeline.
What does she think? - No idea.
I spend my time to think about the dead.
Please.
What did she look like, when you saw her?
Did they die out?
Physical encounters remember the details.
Strange, because you just might think so.
One minute she's there and then they're gone.
As if she disagreed.
Difficult to explain. You have to be there.
I'm so jealous.
But if I would have seen her, I flipped down.
Unbelievable that you never had your camera.
Indeed. Really nasty.
Do you want to do some pictures tonight?
Absolutely.
We have to prove Madeline that actually exists.
That should be the hotel closes. Imagine how she feels.
Here are secure.
We have to absorb.
Moral obligation.
Hi, Lee.
How did you get in touched bird?
Luke, you will not believe what just happened.
What?
Forget it.
I am a pumpkin. I'm going to kill a snake.
Forget the recorder.
I have set before you.
Enjoy your internet porn.
This is the IVP recording of the laundry room.
Luke, I turn it over. There's nothing here.
This is the IVP recording of the dining room.
I try to make contact the spirit of Madeline O'Malley.
Madeline, if you can hear us, give us a sign.
Damn, Luke, you said that this thing was set.
Luke, wake up.
Come on, wake up. - Wait a minute.
What?
Claire, I have about two hours.
You have to listen. The piano playing by itself.
I think it was her.
Come on, I'm down to seven hours. Then I'll listen.
No, I'm afraid.
Well, come on.
Actually ...
will work.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I guess I just did not ...
but it does.
I come across a couple of hours down.
Would you do a little softer?
Should I ask you again?
You know what? Go away.
You asked me what I did yesterday ...
I have an inexplicable phenomenon recorded.
There is a spirit in this hotel. I got it included. So what? So leave me alone.
Come with me.
Sit down.
You need a drink.
Cheers.
Does it?
Tell me what you saw.
I ...
Sorry about yesterday. Sometimes I am not so nice. I know.
Please do not take that personally.
I never apologize than once.
I can help you with what you're looking ...
I just need to know you are looking for.
I'm sorry. That help me?
Do you know what this is?
It's a pendulum.
It is used to more difficult questions ...
of life questions.
Do you know why I'm here?
You go on a acteerconfentie Pots speak in Town?
No, I'm not here to act. I am here as a guest ...
healers at a meeting.
I do now. That is my true calling.
Everything in this world is connected.
Whether we understand or not depends our sense of understanding.
Our willingness to communicate. If you to communicate with the spirits in this hotel ...
I can help you with that.
I just need to know what you want them.
I do not know if they really are.
The ghosts. - Ghosts.
Nothing is real in this world. Everything is a state of being.
There is no beginning and no end.
There are no ghosts.
Where every divine being an energy forms in the universe.
Like drops of water in a fast ocean.
The universe has a plan for each of us.
I want you to ignore what Your conscious mind tells you.
And open yourself.
What do you want these spirits?
I want to know if Madeline O'Malley down at the piano playing.
And if she really is the spirit who live in this hotel.
Ask it again. Take this time close your eyes and concentrate really.
Open yourself.
And ask the question directly.
Are you the ghost of Madeline O'Malley?
Are you died in this hotel?
Did you play the piano?
They do not say who they are.
They?
There are three.
What do they want? - Same as you.
What? - Life.
But they do not live.
There was a terrible tragedy happened in this hotel.
Something in the cellar. A mistake.
It's her. Madeline. There they found her body.
You should not enter the basement.
Is her spirit trapped there?
You can not save her.
They tried to warn her. They tried to help her.
Who are they? What did she want?
What happened?
I have lost contact.
AM TO 7 HOURS BACK PERSONNEL
No towels.
That's it. I've had enough. We go back to daddy.
CHAPTER THREE A FINAL GUEST
SOMEONE HAS TO LAST A 'CASE MONDAY.
Drink.
It does not matter that they are gone. You really left us a disservice.
I'm really afraid of you. Control yourself. You're completely lost the plot.
I did that when I first with that shit was nuts.
You really careful, with what happens here.
You start thinking you see things, and that means maybe never again.
Great, dreaming is one thing, but then the piano?
And what Lee said? - I listen to that piano band ...
and I do not know what to say. Perhaps it is to explain, maybe not.
But you do not have the nerves of it. About nothing.
Even for the impostor above. Listen, Claire ...
How many times have you night not one on TV ...
their supernatural gifts are shared with an audience full of redneck?
How often do you have a medium in the paper ...
crimes that are solved, or someone healed without medicine.
Or a lottery win. Almost never, right?
That's because it's all nonsense. Hocus pocus.
That woman is just above an uncertain old actress ...
They are only trying to belong. It's pathetic.
Do not you want to find out what's going on here?
Why are you not intrigued? This could be it.
This may Madeline, who tries to contact to you and does not care.
This is not your thing?
I swear, if the bitch is back with her child ...
Keep your calm.
Can I help you, sir? - Yes, I want a room for the night.
But one night? - Yes.
I would like to room 353, please.
That room is not available.
There are only rooms available on the second floor ...
because this is the last weekend we are open.
No, I must have 353 rooms.
Please.
This is very important to me.
I have come a long way.
All rooms on the third floor are empty, so ...
if you do not mind some sheets it ...
in a room without furniture to sleep, then we can help.
That is fine.
Can I have a credit card the reservation?
I pay cash.
We have a credit card, in case of injury.
Take it on, please.
Let's get you some blankets.
Fine residence.
It was nice knowing you helped me.
No problem. Soon the Here still a parking lot.
If someone wants a particular room, who are I have to stop them?
It's nothing special.
Sir?
Thank you.
In 353, I spent my wedding night.
I have special memories this old place.
It's interesting, you get something back ...
and it feels like you never are left.
Almost like being at home.
Do not you think? - I do not know.
Let's go upstairs.
The rooms are all so cleaned and emptied ...
Most of the furniture and bedding are stored.
The owner is too mean to real movers to hire, so all the beds are still there.
The room may not same charm that you remembered ...
but at least you do not sleep on the floor. - That is fine.
I come here just for One last bit of nostalgia.
This is room 353.
The "Honeymoon Suite".
If you decide to do one room with TV want, let us know.
That will not be necessary.
This is where I came.
Thank you very much. - A fine stay.
When I awake all night to stay with you, then you go get drunk with me.
Cheers.
How do you feel? - Better.
Well. Drink it through. That always helps.
How was your seminar? - Very well, thank you.
How are you? - Not bad.
Want a beer? - No thanks.
Really? I heard you drank quite a lot.
We all have our moments.
Tell me, how does it all?
What? - A medium, and so.
Have you ever been somewhere where you have Never was and you could swear ...
you have ever been before? - A d¨¦j¨¤ vu or something?
Exactly.
If you already have experienced a dejavu, then you have the same gift as me.
We all do. It's just ...
my d¨¦j¨¤ vu a different direction.
I can experience certain feelings, before they happen.
It is not always clear when or where they come from.
So I must be careful ...
what I choose to share.
I'm very tired, so I go upstairs and sleep. It was a long day.
I'll find you tomorrow, before you leave.
Make sure the ghosts do not awake all night.
You did not have to say. That was very mean.
You said it yourself. You felt a jerk it.
Besides, sometimes, everyone get a taste of his own medicine.
Do you want another one? - Yes.
Are you ready? - Yes.
This is the imitation of Claire's ghost. Take one.
Yankee, Pedo File.
Was that the piano?
What?
He plays by itself?
He must really be the ghost of Madeline O'Malley , who is trying to tell me something.
Show yourself, mind.
I said, "shows you, spirit."
There she is.
Poor Madeline O'Malley.
Find her prettier than me?
Fair? - Yes.
She is what every day for my taste.
I think you're much nicer.
Thank you. That's sweet of you to say.
In fact, you are one of the most beautiful girls I know.
How are the others?
My mother, my sister ...
and that girl who works at the Dirty Queen.
The one with the lazy eye? - Nice guys is very attractive.
I like you really, Claire. - I really like you.
I really mean it. You're just very cool.
It feels like we fit together.
I love that you support me with the website ...
and the fact that you know me seriously.
That means a lot to me. You are great.
Do not you think me mad? - You're not crazy.
You are great. I would do anything for you.
Really? - Absolutely.
I like you so much.
I have an idea.
I. What is yours?
Let's go to the basement, and figure out what the problem is that spirit.
That's a good sign.
Turn on the recorder.
What was that?
I stumbled.
Sorry.
A spider web. - Follow me.
We had better breadcrumbs can take.
Wait a minute.
Here's something.
That's odd. There is noise.
I heard earlier also already - Must be a broken cable.
No, it's her.
This way.
Here, her body hidden.
Ready?
We want the spirit of Madeline O'Malley speak.
If you're here with us, give a sign.
Make noise as you can hear us.
Why do you stay here, Madeline?
Why not rest your mind?
Madeline, give us a sign.
Did you know?
It's her.
That was the wind. - No, she is now with us.
Madeline, speak to us. We would not harm you.
Why do you stay here?
Why not rest your mind?
No. Madeline, now we know you with us. Speak to us.
I can hear her.
Do you hear that whisper?
What?
She's right behind you.
She comes closer.
I gotta get outta here. - What?
I do not want anymore. I do not like this.
We just made contact. Why are you nervous now?
I just will not anymore.
Was it different from other times that you saw her?
There were no other times. - What?
I made it up. I've never seen.
I'm making it up. I want nothing to do with it.
This is fucked up.
I gotta go.
Luke, do not go away. - I'm sorry, Claire.
You can not leave me here. - I really am sorry.
What should I do next?
Wake up. I need your help. Help me.
What are you doing in my room?
Go away. - No, please.
No, I will help you. Please leave.
Come on.
Why should I help you? So you can laugh at me even more?
I believe in what I do.
And I do not believe in wasting time nasty hotel staff ...
and insulting their ignorance.
I'm sorry, Lee. I was down you have to defend ...
and I have a big mistake. But I a problem. I'm afraid, and alone ...
Madeline has made contact with me, and I do not know what else to do.
Is there vodka?
It still.
Take me to where it happened.
Wait here.
Madeline Was it? Have you seen her?
What happened? - We must leave this hotel.
You're in great danger. You can stay here no longer.
What? - I have to get dressed. Will you stuff.
Trust me.
No, right?
I forgot something. See you in the hall.
Sir?
Sorry to bother you. There is an emergency and I must get away from the hotel.
Can you hear me?
Sir?
What are you doing here? - I told you not to leave behind.
Please do not be mad at me. - We must leave now.
I must tell you something. - You know that old man over yet?
Yeah, and? - He killed himself. He's dead.
What? - Yes, he's dead.
Did you call the police? - No, not yet.
Lee said that this is no longer safe, and that we had to leave ...
Madeline and I have seen. - Wait a minute.
Come here.
Sit down.
It's good.
His face ... There was blood everywhere.
It's good.
Please, get me out of here. I do not want anymore.
Well, come on. - Lee is still upstairs.
Where is she? - Her stuff on the deal.
I'll fetch her. You stay out here. That works?
It's all right. Hold on.
Lee, is that you?
I will not go down.
Are you down there?
Have someone help me.
Please, help me.
EPILOGUE
Guys, hold on.
Take her away.
I pounded as hard as I could on the door.
I could hear her scream.
I yelled at her to open it, but she did not.
She called my name, but I was not strong enough to break it open.
This was at the bottom of the stairs.
You must come with us ...
and some questions the gentleman above.
And help to get in touch with her family out. Can you do that?
Yeah, I just need my stuff.
Tell the actress that she should shoot. We need her.
Are you sure that you give me all the names and numbers of the other guests have given?
There is no password?
No, I told you everything. There was only the other woman with her child ...
and Ron the owner. That only comes back tomorrow from Barbados.
Okay, thanks.
What are you doing in here?
They need you down. I said I'd get.
We must go to the police, to some more questions.
Did you hear me? I said we had to go.
Did you think this would happen?
You could have done something.
No. Nobody could have done something.
They need you down.
