[Newscaster] Our top story tonight, a Rochester woman is speaking out

about the desperate search for her husband, Nick Brandreth.

A man disappeared on Thursday

and now his wife and kids are panicking.

Rochester police are asking for your help finding a missing man.

He's six feet 180 pounds.

He was last seen

wearing a light blue shirt, khaki pants and was known to wear glasses.

Volunteers and rescue teams met up this morning.

Search crews were back out with canine teams, a scuba team

and an aerial unit from Rochester Police Department.

Family members say they just want to know he's safe.

Anyone with information should contact Rochester police.

That number is on our website at WBCCnews.com

Police say they've searched everywhere to try and find him

but the fact of the matter is, he's gone without a trace.

My name is Francine --

[Olivia] Do it to the camera.

My name is Francine Brandreth and I live in Rochester, New York.

I work at the Wallace Library at RIT.

And I have a daughter named Olivia.

Which you already know about.

Hi, Mom.

[Francine] In 1997, my husband Nick...

he...

in 199-.

I'm sorry.

[Olivia] What for?

I shouldn't be crying in your movie.

Mom.

Years of this.

This piece of my life,

of me missing.

And I just have no idea what happened.

[Olivia] No closure.

[Francine] Right. No closure.

[faint sound of train approching]

[Olivia] We're going to find out what happened to Dad.

[Francine sighs]

[Olivia] We will.

Okay.

[Olivia] You don't sound very convinced.

Oh, it's not you, honey.

I-I know you want to help.

[Olivia] What, what is it?

[train sound intensifies]

[Crew Member] 0-5A take one, mark.

[sighs]

My name is Olivia Brandreth.

I'm originally from Rochester, New York and I'm a filmmaker

working in documentary and investigative projects

[Olivia] True crime, mostly.

[Olivia] Nick Brandreth was my father.

[eerie music]

He went missing in 1997.

Police remain baffled in the disappearance of Nick Brandreth,

who after weeks of searching remains missing.

[Francine] I think this was

1988 around there, maybe.

[Olivia] Wow. This is an old house.

Yeah.

Do you remember it?

[Olivia] I think so. Yeah.

[sighs]

I always loved this picture.

[Olivia] Nicholas Brandreth was born in the summer of 1958

in Buffalo, New York.

My father liked to say

that the life of a photographer

is a life dedicated to manipulating light.

Ironically,he was born during a city wide blackout.

His father, Oliver Brandreth, managed a bank downtown.

He was a dedicated member of the Elks Lodge,

an outdoorsman and a fan of the Bills.

His mother, Amelia, was an Italian immigrant

that stayed at home with Nick

and his two older siblings, Peter and Mary Anne.

My name is Mary Anne Stoughton

and Nick Brandreth was my little brother.

He still is my little brother, I suppose.

Nick would get lost in his own ideas.

Even growing up, he was so very focused on making all kinds of things.

Photos, art, even woodworking.

This was the first picture Nick had published.

He was 11.

We had so many copies of this newspaper when it came out,

they were all over the house.

[Mary Anne] Our father was supportive.

He let Nick arrange a little workspace

in the basement for him to make his pictures.

It kept him busy.

But our mom.

Oh, she loved it.

She was so excited that Nick had found a calling

and an artistic one at that.

[Francine] Nick and I met in 1978

when he was studying at RIT.

It was his sophomore year.

I had just graduated high school

and I got a job at the library part time.

So, in walks this guy with a camera

and he's taking pictures of all the stacks.

Photos and photos of books.

It seemed funny to me, but to your father,

he always saw the world

in a different way.

[Olivia] It is weird,

you know, not being back, but being back for this

[Chris] Hm.

- [Chris] Yeah, I can only imagine. - Yeah.

Oh, Rochester.

- [Chris] Does it look like you remember? - [Olivia] Yeah, for the most part.

[Chris] Hello my name is Chris Donovan.

I am producer,

camera operator...

- [Olivia] Editor. - Editor.

Graphic designer.

- [Olivia] Jack of all trades. - Master of all trades.

I met Olivia

while we were attending NYU in 2004,

and we've been

making films ever since.

[Olivia] Well, this certainly looks different.

[Olivia] This was Benton Photo Supply

My dad used to come here all the time.

[Chris] Not much to see now, is it?

[Luke] Not really.

[crow cawing]

I think this was my father's favorite place

in the whole city.

[ Olivia ] It makes sense to start here.

[ TV Presenter ] The Great Lakes have become the fourth seacoast for the United States,

with Rochester as the focal point.

Genesee is an Indian word, meaning beautiful valley.

And still today, no description more aptly

fits this area of the world.

Olivia!

- [ Olivia ] Hi, Harry. How are you? - Good.

Look at you, you're all grown up.

- Come on in, come on in. - [ Olivia ] Oh, thanks.

Watch your step there.

[ Harry ] My name is Harry Benton and I ran Benton Photo Supply

from 1970 until 1999.

[ Olivia ] Do you miss it? - The store? No, I don't think so.

[ Harry ] But I am sad that it's gone.

It's strange to outlive your career.

[ Harry ] Anyway, I don't think Benton Photo Supply

is the subject for today, is it?

[ Olivia ] No, well not exactly.

But it was a big part of my father's story.

[ Harry ] Your dad was a regular.

He bought countless, countless rolls of film.

I ended up just letting him use a darkroom

because she was around all the time.

I don't think I met anyone

who ever fired off more film than your father.

[ Footsteps ]

[ Harry ] After I closed the store,

I set up in here just to stay busy.

Your father used all of this stuff.

[ Harry ] The same inlarger. The loops.

Hell, the changing bags might even be his.

I brought that inlarger for my home.

- It predates the store. - [ Olivia ] Wow.

Oh, no, no, it's fine.

I don't think it can be broken.

Go right ahead. It'll probably be around after I'm gone.

[ Chris ] Harry Benton's darkroom is a treasure trove.

35mm equipment was just built differently.

I can't believe how much of it still works.

[ Mechanical sound ]

[ Harry ] Some people think a camera

or a fast lens will make something magical.

They forget, you need to make the image.

[ Harry ] Your father, he understood how to shape

and capture what was already there.

In the frame...

in the exposure...

and in the light.

[ Olivia ] Even today, when I hear the word photographer, I think light manipulator.

[ Harry chuckles ] Yeah, those are Nick's words alright.

I am in the dark room of Rochester's own, Nick Brandreth,

an award winning photographer who has had his work published everywhere

from National Geographic to Sports Illustrated.

Nick is our local artist spotlight

this week and you've probably seen his work already.

- Hi Nick. - Hi Lauren thanks for having me.

Well, thanks for joining me.

- You've got some really, really great stuff here. - I appreciate that.

[ Nick ] I put a lot of myself into my work and I really hope that

that shows through when people look at my photographs.

[ Newscaster ] So what are you working on right now?

Actually, I've got really into the older photo

processes, so this one's kind of special to us, especially here in Rochester.

This is called a gelatin dry plate and this is what

Mr.Eastman made his fortune with.

[ Ominus music ]

[ Francine ] Dusty. Sorry about that.

[ Chris ] It's all right.

[ Francine ] Most of this stuff has been packed up for years,

I just never had the heart to get rid of it.

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

[ Olivia laughs ]

What's this?

It's weird.

[ Luke ] I think it's a trap camera.

A trap camera?

[ TV Presenter ] The trap camera is unique

because the photo was taken not by you, the photographer, but by the subject.

- The subject takes the photo? - [ TV Presenter ] Exactly.

Fantastic.

[ TV Presenter ] Once the KTC-125

has been placed, a trip wire controlling the camera is set.

Springing the trip line will release the shutter, taking the photograph.

This makes the trap camera extremely useful in photography of

elusive wildlife, dangerous wartime documentation

and other scenarios unfit

for a photographer himself.

[ Olivia ] What do you think he was trying to photograph with the trap camera?

[ Chris ] Wolves. Bears.

- Poachers? - [ Chris ] Could be.

Wolves? No, not in Rochester.

But I've seen this camera before.

HCT. Horace Cody Taylor.

Your old man, he found that camera with some friends

at a junk swap.

[ Olivia ] Do you have those photos?

[ Harry sighs ]

Hang tight.

[ Harry ] Please

don't make me regret showing you this.

[ Olvia ] I won't.

Are we still rolling?

- Yeah, right? - [ Luke ] Actually um...

I have to switch out the mag.

Okay, let's cut.

We've been fortunate to have agreeable subjects.

However, they've already been well documented.

But when Harry told us about Horace Cody Taylor, we had our first piece

of real new information about my father's disappearance.

Unfortunately, our new lead

died nearly 100 years ago.

[ Olivia ] Born in New York City in 1888.

Horace Cody Taylor was an inventor...

photographer

and cartographer.

[ Olivia ] A patent filed in 1916 in New York City and a series of survey

maps from 1923 corroborate the timeline we got from Harry.

However, after 1931,

there is no information on Horace Cody Taylor.

No record of a death,

sale of his property, next of kin, nothing.

I processed these negatives.

After your father,

after everything happened.

[ Harry ] Here, take a look for yourselves.

- [ Olivia ] These are all his? - [ Harry ] Yeah

I told you your father shot a lot of film.

[ Olivia ] There must be hundreds of images here, Harry.

Yeah.

[ Oliva ] Whoa!

[ Harry ] Yeah, whoa.

[ Olivia ] Check this out.

What am I looking at?

- Is that a door? - Just...

[ Olivia ] in the middle of nothing?

[ Olivia ] And what is that up in front?

- A bear maybe?-- - [ Harry ] No.

[ Harry ] I don't like this Olivia.

[ Olivia ] Is this a cult?

[ Harry ] No, not really.

More like an extremely old religion.

Sort of a naturalistic following is what

your father thought.

So a cult?

I wouldn't be so quick to label things

that you don't understand.

Okay.

[ Olivia ] Who are they Harry?

I don't know.

That's what your father was trying to figure out, but...

[ Newscaster ] Tune into Rochester News.

a local man has gone missing.

Police remain hopeful that they will find answers

in the disappearance of photographer Nick Brandreth.

It has been three weeks since Brandreth's pickup...

truck was found parked outside of Haddonfield State Forest,

where a 9mm firearm, a spent shell casing...

and a number of cameras were recovered...

in an apparent suicide.

If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Nick Brandreth...

please call the Rochester PD tip line.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you and good night.

- [ Luke ] We really gonna use this? - [ Olivia ] Yeah, I think so.

[ Luke ] Okay.

[ Chris ] Yeah of course,

prior to the project, I knew that Olivia's father had gone missing.

[ Olivia ] Go on.

You know, typically, after so much time has passed,

these kind of cases rarely get resolved.

[ Olivia ] What do we got?

Not much yet.

Haddonfield Lake is surrounded by woods,

with the exception of this stretch of highway.

[ Olivia ] According to the police, my father's truck was found

over here in the eastern entrance.

[ Chris ] You know, Detective Frank Lynch still works for Rochester Police.

[ Olivia ] Yep. looks like he's Captain Lynch now.

I guess they promote incompetence from within.

What?

You want to tell us how you really feel?

No, I just did.

[ Frank ] I remember your dad's case.

You know, we don't get too much heavy crime up here.

[ Olivia ] Heavy crime?

[ Frank ] Your rapes, your murders, homicides.

Every now and then I'm sure they happen.

But for the most part it's pretty quiet up here.

I'm Captain Frank Lynch of the RPD.

Back in 1997, I was the lead

detective in the Brandreth missing persons case.

[ Frank ] In 1997 there wasn't much to report.

Your father went out in the woods

near Haddonfield Lake late one night in July.

[ Olivia ] September.

What?

[ Olivia ] My father went missing on September 28th.

Anyway, he went out in the woods

and never came back.

[ Olivia ] My father went missing on September 28th,

1997.

Police searched for two weeks before they released a statement

that my father's death was a suicide.

Hi, Dad.

[ Olivia ] Did you believe the police statement

that Dad's death was a suicide?

No, not a bit.

And I never trusted that Detective Lynch.

[ Olivia ] Why not?

Suicide was a way

for the police to skirt their responsibility.

It just doesn't make sense.

[ Olivia ] Do you ever go out in Haddonfield woods

fishing or hiking, maybe.

I used to go there when I was a kid, but not anymore.

[ Olivia ] Why is that?

Well, in general I don't make it a habit of hanging out in old crime scenes.

[ Frank ] But we spent nearly a month

looking for your old man.

We never saw an animal.

It was so quiet up there,

you couldn't even hear any birds.

Weird place.

[ Frank ] Honestly, we didn't have much to go on.

We found a 9 mm handgun with a spent round.

Your father's prints were on the firearm.

Sorry, Olivia

it was a suicide.

- [ Olivia ] But the body-- - [ Frank ] The body was never recovered,

that is correct.

- That didn't strike you as odd? - Yeah, it did.

It struck me as very odd.

We canvased the clients that he had invoiced,

friends, family.

No motives. No suspects.

No indication of foul play at all.

This is heading down a dangerous path.

Harry?

[ Harry ] Olivia.

You don't think my father's death was a suicide, do you?

[ Harry ] No one who really knew Nick Brandreth

ever believed that story.

[ Olivia } Captain Lynch,

how long have you been a detective?

[ Frank ] Lead detective.

[ Olivia ] Right. Excuse me.

How long had you been a lead detective in 1997?

What difference does that make?

There is often a defensiveness amongst law enforcement.

That tension between what's right and what's right by the book.

It's always there.

[ Olivia ] If my father shot himself, why was the firearm found but not the body?

We figured some kids found the gun,

started playing with it, having some fun, you know.

They moved the gun from the original crime scene.

[ Olivia ] Your answer is children playing with a handgun?

Are here to bust my chops lady, what is this?

It's not unusual that,

Frank reacted like that.

He knows something.

[ Olivia ] Did you ever follow up with anyone else?

Yes, we hired a private investigator to help us make sense of things.

Hired is just another way of saying

we lit $20,000 on fire.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Brandreth, but do you

remember the name of the private investigator?

Hank Arbaghast.

[ Frank ] Weird guy.

Real pain in the ass.

- [ Olivia ] Arbaghast? - That's it.

Arbaghast.

What a loon.

I'll never forget the name,

and I'll never forget him.

Why is that?

Because he felt that my husband

entered a parallel dimension.

I'm sorry, what?

A parallel dimension.

- Mm hmm - Uh..

Yeah, it's hard to forget that kind of crazy.

Say do you like mystery stories?

Well, we have one for you.

The mystery is time.

If our story is true,

before we're finished, I think you'll agree

that truth is stranger than the strangest fiction.

In 1998 a book on my father's disappearance was released.

Blue Hour touched on a number of unexplained aspects of the case,

but ultimately supported the official police statement.

Hank Arbaghast's theories were discredited

as the insane ramblings of a madman

in the book's final publication.

Now, is this a simmer or a boil?

Yes, a simmer.

- It's simmering right now. - Simmer.

You got it.

[ Francine ] She's upset.

I'm not upset.

I'm just focused.

She's upset.

She always did that when she was a little girl with her homework.

Thank you, Mrs.Brandreth,

this looks great.

You're welcome. I appreciate the help.

- Salute! - Salute!

- This is very weird. - Shh.

- Luke, you gonna eat? [ Luke ] Sure am.

[ Chris in Italian ] Mangiamo.

[ TV Presenter ] Photography as a hobby

can lead to photography as a career, and often does.

But professional work calls for a lot more

than just snapping pictures here and there.

[ TV Presenter ] Laboratory or darkroom assistants and technicians

have an opportunity to learn how to mix chemicals...

to develop films,

to retouch negatives

and to make prints.

[ emotional music ]

[ Harry ] Here it is.

[ Olivia ] I don't really know what I'm looking at.

[ Harry ] You think I understand what this is?

I just made the photo.

[ Luke ] Jesus.

[ Olivia ] Are you sure my dad wasn't staging these?

If this was some sort of an art piece, Nick was really committed.

[ Chris ] Yeah.

[ Luke ] This is wild.

[ Olivia ] Did you ever show these to the police?

[ Harry ] Of course, it seemed relevant.

- It still seems relevant. - Yeah, I'd say so.

You told Captain Lynch about this photo, of these people?

[ Harry ] Yeah, I told Captain Lynch.

He said they were fakes.

He laughed me out of the station.

Fakes?

Another long day searching for missing photographer Nick Brandreth.

I am here with Detective Frank Lynch, whose investigating--

Lead detective.

Lead detective Frank Lynch.

Earlier today, our station was delivered these unsettling photographs.

Here we go.

[ Frank ] What's with the photography?

- Always with the pictures. - [ Marisa ] I'm sorry.

Are you already aware of these photographs?

Yeah, I'm familiar with them.

- Would you care to comment? - No. Not really.

It's a hoax.

[ Harry ] But he didn't want anything

that he couldn't wrap his head around.

[ Harry ] Who knew how many other case sit would impact.

Other cases?

Well...

if it's happened, maybe it's been happening?

[ Olivia ] Right.

I see what you're saying.

[ pensive music ]

[ Olivia ] Can you start by introducing yourself?

My name is Marissa Biondi, formerly of WQCB,

where I was a field reporter.

Mostly the job consisted of local events and happenings, stuff like that.

But um...

I covered the Nick Brandreth case.

[ Marisa ] We don't get a lot of national news coming out of Rochester

but your father's case really struck a nerve.

Nick Brandreth?

It's just super tragic and, you know,

my heart really goes out to his family and

They find a gun and a casing

and decide it's suicide?

What, did he kill himself and then walk off?

Well, it's not like the most comforting thought

when you put it that way.

I think the media is going to say

whatever they want,

but you know,

only God knows what really happened.

Nick Brandreth?

They're making excuses

for the fact that they had no idea

what happened.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

That's the guy that [ shot ] himself off in the woods, right?

[ Olivia ] Why do you think that was?

Well,

the police didn't do themselves any favors

by declaring your father's disappearance

a suicide so quickly.

[ Marisa ] It felt flimsy from the start.

There were other things.

[ Olivia ] You mean the photos?

[ Marisa ] I remember these.

[ Frank ] It's a hoax.

Come on, Marisa, don't bring me this garbage.

It's just a bunch of freaks

playing with triangles and halloween costumes.

- I'm wondering if-- - No!

excuse me, detective.

[ police sirens ]

I'm Marisa Biondi with WQCB, Rochester.

It was impossible

to get the police to consider anything.

They had their answer, they liked that answer

and that was it.

And we're gonna have a couple of cop cars

coming soon

- which is going to be perfect-- - [ Chris ] We're rolling.

[ Olivia ] Hi, my name's Olivia Brandreth.

I'm here to see Captain Lynch.

[ Receptionist ] One, moment please.

[ Frank ] Olivia.

[ Olivia ] Thank you for meeting with me again Captain

I promise this will be quick.

[ Frank ] Okay.

[ Frank ] What is this supposed to be?

[ Olivia ] I was hoping you could tell me?

[ Frank ] What? Is this joke?

[ Olivia ] You've seen this photograph

before haven't you?

[ Frank ] This is fake.

Photoshop.

This is photoshop.

[ Olivia ] Captain, this is from a 35 mm

negative taken by my father in 1997.

I watched it get developed by hand a few hours ago.

- Captain Lynch? - Yes?

[ Olivia ] You told me there were no

other persons of interest in my father's disappearance.

[ Frank ] There weren't.

[ Olivia ] Then who are these people?

[ Frank ] I don't know.

[ Olivia ] Well, the private investigator my mother hired...

- We've already talked about Arbaghast - I know.

But do you have any idea where I could find him?

[ Frank ] That guy is a nut job.

You aren't gonna learn anything from him.

[ Olivia ] I believe you

but any information at all might help.

[ Olivia ] Please?

Can you help me understand

what happened to my father?

[ Frank ] Wait here a minute.

[ mic rustling ]

[ Chris ] What happened ?

[ Olivia ] Arbaghast's address.

- Well, I hope so. - How?

Lynch.

He slid across the table, and he just stormed off.

All right.

[ Olivia ] Oh, my god.

[ Chris sighs ]

[ Olivia ] Whew.

[ Olivia exhales ]

Was that legal?

[ Chris ] Recording conversation

or him giving you the address?

Either one.

[ Chris ] No.

Maybe he just felt bad.

[ Chris ] He is a bad cop.

[ Olivia ] That too.

Okay.

[ ominous music ]

[ door knocking ]

[ Olivia sighs ]

[ door knocking ]

[ Hank ] Hey!

- Turn the cameras off. - [ Olivia ] Hank Arbaghast?

My name's Olivia Brandreth.

Turn the camera off.

- [ Chris ] Sure no problem-- - Camera!

- [ Olivia ] Hank Arbaghast? - [ Hank ] Yeah?

My name is Olivia Brandreth, you were investigating

my father's disappearance.

[ Hank ] Figured it's about time you guys showed up.

[ Chris ] Mr.Arbaghast, would you be willing

to appear in our documentary ?

[ Hank nods ]

[ Chris ] Can you please sign this release?

[ Hank ] Let me read it again.

I've forgotten all the fine print.

[ Chris ] Uh, yeah - of course.

[ Hank ] My name is Hank Arbaghast.

[ egg timer winds ]

I've been a private investigator for over 25 years

depending on how you count the passage of time.

In 1997, I was hired by Francine Brandreth

to find her husband...

which I did.

I'm sorry. What did you just say?

I found your father back in 1997.

Regardless of the ridiculous claims

made by the Rochester Police Department.

[ VHS clicks ]

[ remote clicks ]

Nick Brandreth is in a place called the Beyond.

[ Olivia ] You mean the doorway?

[ Hank ] The Beyond the hub

for the space time continuum.

Where every moment of our reality,

of this reality, rotates around this dimension.

And when the doorways line up,

you can move from one moment in time

to the next.

[ Olivia ] Mr. Arbaghast,

I think we need to start at the beginning.

No, we don't.

You're just saying

- a lot of things I don't understand. - Yet.

Things you don't understand yet.

[ Olivia ] And where are these doorways?

When are the doorways.

That's the question you want to ask.

It's all right there

in the title of your daddy's book.

Blue Hour?

Yes.

You can know where to go

but without the wind you'll never find it.

You follow the light,

chase the shadows to the end.

Then you can move beyond.

[ laughs ]

[ Olivia ] And my father

went into one of these doorways?

Not willingly, but that's right.

I've been collecting information on this, on them,

for a while.

Who are they?

[ Hank ] Acolytes.

Runaways.

Gypsies.

Believe it or not, one was a lawyer.

[ Olivia ] Are they dangerous?

Mostly no, no.

But, you know how people can get when they really believe in something.

They act irrational.

[ Olivia ] Do you have any idea

why the doorway's in Rochester?

That is where that doorway is.

Different doorways, different places.

But again, most important

different point in time.

I came out of a door in Bar Harbor, in 1832,

another in Dallas, 63.

London, 1888.

And these people worship the doors?

No, they protect them.

The acolytes worship the Obsidian Pyramid.

[ Olivia ] Excuse me?

[ tense music ]

[ Olivia ] Mr. Arbaghast?

[ Chris whistles ]

I forgot where I was for a moment.

We're nearly finished.

Your father didn't commit suicide.

He's become possessed.

He now serves the Obsidian Pyramid.

The what?

[ corny intro music ]

Doorways.

Doorwaysfrom one point in time to another.

Some would say wormholes.

Portals that allow you to move through time.

The Obsidian Pyramid has been seen globally,

all across the world.

It's an incredible idea

that the very fabric of reality,

that time itself is structured.

It's balanced

by a mystical rock.

Depictions across cultures, across time

of floating monoliths.

Too similar,

far too coincidental to disregard as anything

other than interconnected.

Nick Brandreth

went through a doorway

and is now in the beyond.

Possessed, spellbound, occupied,

we don't have words to describe the effects

of parallel dimensions.

Your father may look like what you remember,

but you'll see it.

[ Hank ] You can see it in his eyes.

His eyes?

[ Hank ] Yes.

Interesting.

You know, we've done this before.

And you were arrogant then, too.

[ Olivia ] I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be--

[ Hank sushes ]

Say that you can't be in two places at once.

- What? - [ Hank ] Go ahead, say it.

You can't be in two places at once.

Exactly.

Only one version of you can exist

at any given point in time.

- But that doesn't make any sense. - [ Olivia ] But that doesn't make any sense.

Please keep up.

[ Hank ] You travel from one point in time to another.

Great. Easy.

Only the latest version of you will continue to exist.

Any previous iteration will cease to be.

[ Olivia ] That doesn't make any sense.

But you just said you can't be in two places at once.

- [ Olivia ] Right. - Then we agree.

- [ Olivia ] We do? - Yes.

Unquestionably, there's very real

evidence of the Obsidian Pyramid

and the men and women who live in service to it.

Where did this monolith come from?

Is this evidence of aliens intervening here on earth,

or is something altogether more mysterious at play?

It's pointless

to wonder where the pyrimad came from.

It was here before mankind.

Given our penchant for greed.

It will be here long after.

In the eyes of those that serve the pyramid,

is it a god?

God is just a word used to describe

things beyond our understanding.

The Obsidian Pyramid is more like a

metronome than anything.

It keeps time for existence.

If time, like the land

or the seas or outer space itself.

If time can be navigated with the correct knowledge,

what other secrets can we uncover?

[ TV static ]

[ Hank laughs ]

This is going to happen soon.

So I got to move fast.

But in seven years I go through a door

and I come back to this very moment.

And then I...

[ woosh ]

[ camera fumbles ]

[ Olivia ] What just happened?

[ Luke ] Hey guys I think he exploded.

[ Chris ] Exploded Luke?

[ woosh ]

[ bites apple ]

Versions of us will do this again

eventually.

[ timer bell rings ]

[ Olivia ] It doesn't make any sense.

Arbaghast?

He's insane.

He has to be, right?

I can't explain what I saw.

No, me neither.

A number of years ago in Germany,

a man gave to the world a new concept.

It shook the scientific world from top to bottom.

Changed the course of human history and

gave us the atomic age.

The man, Albert Einstein.

The concept, relativity.

That strange, fantastic relationship between time,

distance and mass.

E=MC 2.

Energy equals mass

times the speed of light squared.

He didn't make any sense.

Mmhmm.

[ Luke ] Guys, he can teleport.

Teleport through time.

Thanks, Luke.

[ ominous music ]

[ Chris ] All right, You ready?

[ Luke ] I'm ready.

- [ Chris ] Olivia? - [ Olivia ] Yeah.

I am ready.

[ Chris ] What are you doing?

[ Luke] I just got to grab something.

Hold on one sec.

[ Chris ] It's like wrangling cats.

All day.

Every single day.

[ drone sounds ]

[ pulsing music ]

[ Olivia ] It's pretty.

Quiet

and peaceful.

[ pulsing music ]

Captain Lynch was right.

Silence.

There's something there in the stillness.

An uneasiness.

[ leaves rustle ]

[ footsteps ]

[ Olivia ] We're looking for that.

Or that.

There are so many trees.

[ shutter clicks ]

[ creepy music ]

[ Chris ] Yeah.

I'm not really an outdoorsy person but

Haddonfield Forest didn't seem that weird to me.

Scariest thing is probably the name.

[ Olivia ] The name?

Yea, it's the town from Halloween.

[ Chris ] Anything?

[ Olivia ] Not even close.

[ Chris ] Got to be around the site.

We've been walking about two miles.

Yeah, thats pretty close.

[ creepy music ]

[ footsteps ]

[ branch cracks ]

- [ Luke ] Sorry guys.

- [ Luke ] Sorry guys. - [ Olivia ] It's okay.

[ eerie music ]

[ Chris ] You all right?

[ Luke ] Yeah im good.

[ eerie music ]

[ wind blows ]

[ eerie music ]

[ Olivia sighs ]

[ footsteps ]

[ wind intensifies ]

[ Olivia ] Let's keep going this way.

[ Olivia ] Maybe that.

All right, come on.

we're going to start losing light.

[ footsteps ]

[ Olivia ] I don't

[ Olivia sighs ]

[ Olivia ] Oh, my god.

Look!

That's a match, right?

[ Chris ] Looks like it lines up.

[ Luke ] Hang on I can't pull focus.

- [ Olivia ] So-- - [ Chris ] About--

His trap camera would

have been right over there.

[ sighs of relief ]

[ pulsating music intensifies ]

[ pulsating music continues ]

[ camera shuffles ]

[ Luke ] Jesus.

[ Olivia ] Hey Chris.

[ Chris ] Yeah?

- Where's Luke? - [ Chris ] Uh, I don't know.

- [ Chris ] He was right here filming. - Luke?

[ Olivia ] When's the last time you saw him?

[ Chris ] 15 minutes ago.

Luke!

[ Chris ] Luke!

[ Olivia ] Luke!

[ Chris ] Luke!

[ twig snaps ]

[ Luke ] Oh, hey Chris.

[ footsteps approaching ]

[ Luke ] Whoa whoa. I'm sorry.

No, i'm sorry. i'm really sorry.

I'll leave.

[ Luke gasps ]

[ body hits the ground ]

[ stabbing sounds ]

[ Luke moaning ]

[ Olivia ] Luke!

[ Chris ] Luke!

He's probably flying his drone.

[ Chris ] Yeah.

[ Chris ] Olivia?

[ Chris ] Are you alright?

No.

[ Chris ] Luke?

[ Chris ] Luke? Luke!

[ Chris breathing heavily ]

It's still rolling.

Luke!

Mitchell Robinson reporting live

from outside of Rochester, New York,

where a grisly murder has shaken

this otherwise quiet community.

Freelance cinematographer Luke D'Antonio

was working on a true crime documentary,

when he was brutally attacked in Haddonfeild woods.

[ pulsating music ]

[ pulsating music continues]

[ pulsating music continues]

Hi guys, Miranda here,

live from Haddonfield Woods.

[ Miranda ] What was that?

[ Olivia sighs ]

We shut down production

following Luke's death.

It didn't feel right to continue.

[ somber music ]

And then.

I'll be here for the next week

checking out the mysterious disappearances in these woods.

So, as always, don't forget to follow along and like and subscribe.

See you soon.

[ creepy slo motion sounds ]

[ news intro music ]

Reporting live from outside of Rochester,

where another grisly murder has shaken

this once quiet community.

Miranda Tully, a true crime podcast host, has been murdered.

There it is.

Can we zoom in on that?

Can you get that?

[ Cop ] Hey, you guys can't film here.

[ footsteps ]

[ emotional music ]

Olivia called me right away.

It was great to hear from her.

I didn't like leaving the project unfinished.

What did I do during the shutdown?

- [ Olivia ] Yeah. - Worked.

[ tinny guitar plays ]

Tried to find work.

There was a lot of downtime, mostly.

[ announcer ] 2 seconds to go.

And the kick from 27 yards is, is, no good.

It's over.

Luke's family has been very supportive of the idea. So,

that feels good.

I mean, they could have shut us down.

[ Olivia ] How do you feel about being back?

Good.

I'm a little concerned about safety,

if I'm honest.

But,

maybe we should put a pin in this?

[ Olivia ] Huh?

- [ Mark ] Hello? - [ Chris ] Hey, Mark.

- Yeah. Chris? - Hey, Chris yeah.

Nice to meet you dude.

Nice to meet you.

Olivia.

[ Olivia ] Yeah.

[ Ominous music ]

Okay.

All right, here we are.

So, six months ago,

we were in Haddonfield Woods over here,

which is where my father went

missing and also, obviously, where Luke...

where Luke was attacked.

[ Olivia ] It's also near where

Miranda Tully's body was found.

I think maybe the saddest part of Miranda Tully's death

is that it was completely avoidable.

It was just an unnecessary risk.

We know Miranda Tully's body

was found near where Luke's...

was murdered.

They both had their throats slit.

But that's the only similarity.

Luke was cast aside, Miranda's body was put on display.

We were there when Luke got attacked.

I mean, we were shouting his name, we may have interrupted

whatever ritual they were trying to perform.

[ Mark ] I'm sorry. Who are the "they" In

this murder ritual situation?

[ ominous music ]

- Oh. We'll explain in a minute. [ Mark ] Okay.

[ Chris ] The location is the only thing that connects to your father's disappearance.

[ Chris ] I don't think it's enough to paint a complete picture at this point.

Unless you believe Arbaghast.

Right.

Unless you belive Arbaghast.

Maybe. I don't know.

I mean, he's no doubt unhinged,

but

he seemed very sure of himself and incredibly specific.

And also completely out of his mind.

But this I know.

The very formulas and facts

which gave man the ability to blast himself into eternity.

These very facts contain

powerful moral and spiritual implications.

Which just might keep him from doing.

Now we've considered some weird and fantastic things.

But the implications to which we have just referred

are the strangest and the most fantastic of all.

[ door knocks ]

[ Olivia ] We couldn't find Arbaghast.

[ Chris ] Are you surprised?

Yeah. I mean, I'm not surprised.

These types of cases run cold.

Now...

[ film case snaps closed ]

Rochester PD

has refused to speak to us.

- Which makes sense. - Sorry.

Yeah, I do have some contacts at the Eastman Museum.

Claim to have patents and research papers on Horace Cody Taylor.

[ Olivia ] That could be useful.

I was also thinking Arbaghast had those files on the acolytes.

We can check the footage for legible names, addresses.

- Look Chris-- - [ Mark ] Acolytes?

Yeah, the freaks that worship the pyramid.

[ Mark ] I'm sorry, I have another question.

What pyramid?

Right.

Allegedly, these people worship a floating interdimensional pyramid.

The sky's going to be clear on Thursday.

[ Chris ] Okay?

Sundown is at 6:04 p.m.

and I'm going to Haddonfield for blue hour.

[ Chris ] You what?

I'm going back.

- [ Chris ] What?-- - Look you do not have to come with me.

- [ Chris ] People died Olivia-- - I know

[ Chris ] this isn't safe

[ Mark ] I can probably set you guys up with some body cameras.

I can figure out a way to control them remotely.

[ Olivia ] That's a great idea.

- Great. Yes. - [ Chris ] This two days away.

- [ Chris ] You can't be serious. - I am.

How do we start?

Oh, sorry.

We'll set up in the main parking lot at 4 p.m.

That'll give us about 2 hours of...

- Us? - You're not doing this alone.

Look, you don't have to come with me--

Mark, can you set me up with some body cameras?

[ Mark ] Yeah, no problem.

[ Chris ] No problem.

[ Mark ] So in this situation,

I'm just going to be alone at the van.

- No, no. - No.

We'll send a PA with you and they'll do B-roll.

No one is alone.

[ Mark ] Thank you.

For the record,

I still think this is a really bad idea.

[ pulsating music ]

[ car door closes ]

Thank you.

[ Olivia ] All right

[ Mark ] Good luck.

[ car door closes ]

Ready?

[ footsteps ]

[ gun cocks ]

Really?

Yeah.

Are you all set Mark?

[ Olivia ] Everything look okay?

Yeah we're all set over here.

[ Mark ] You just enjoy a little walk in the woods.

Thanks.

[ Olivia sighs ]

You okay?

Yeah, I'm good.

[ footsteps ]

[ Olivia ] Where the shadows end.

[ Chris ] What?

Something Arbaghast said.

You'll find the doorway where the shadows end.

[ Olivia ] The suns dipping low now.

[ Chris ] Where shadows end?

[ heavy breathing ]

Yeah, maybe.

Did you hear that?

[ Chris ] Yeah. It's a bird.

- [ Chris ] We're alright. - Okay.

[ Olivia ] We've got about an hour.

[ Chris ] Copy that.

[ heavy breathing ]

[ footsteps ]

[ heavy breathing ]

[ footsteps ]

[ wind blowing ]

Where the shadows end.

Where the shadows...

[ heavy breathing ]

Olivia?

What do you see?

[ Mark ] Stop moving.

[ Chris ] What?

- [ Olivia ] Do you see anything? - [ Chris ] No.

[ Olivia ] Mark, I don't see anything.

Mark!

[ Mark ] Someone's there with you.

Someone?

[ goulish sounds ]

[ heavy breathing ]

[ rustling ]

[ instense horns ]

Olivia.

[ music intensifies ]

- [ Olivia ] Oh my god-- - Stop.

- [ Chris ] Back up! - Chris!

[ Chris ] Stop!

- [ Olivia ] Chris? - Yes, I see that.

[ Olivia ] No. Behind you.

It's here.

[ Chris ] Olivia. Hey.

- [ Mark ] Yeah? - [ Chris ] What?

You said hey.

[ Chris ] Fuck!

[ heavy breathing ]

[ Olivia gasps ]

Olivia wait.

You don't have to come with me.

Stop.

Back up!

Olivia, don't. No!

[ Mark ] We need help at Haddonfield Woods.

Yeah, now.

[ digital distortion ]

[ door closes abruptly ]

[ Olivia ] Wait.

[ door handle rattling ]

[ breathing heavily ]

[ creepy music ]

Can you hear that?

Mark?

Hello?

[ creepy music ]

[ Olivia gasps ]

[ ominous music ]

[ ominous music ]

[ Chris ] I don't want to use this.

[ Chris ] Olivia.

Back the fuck up.

[ Olivia ] Dad?

[ Olivia ] This is isn't normal.

[ Nick ] I know.

[ Olivia ] Why are we talking like this?

[ Olivia ] What's wrong with my voice?

[ Nick ] Relax.

[ Olivia ] Am I possessed?

[ Nick ] In a way.

It will pass in time.

[ Nick ]You were never supposed to come here.

[ Olivia ] And you were?

[ birds chirping ]

[ Chris ] Hello?

[ flutter in distance ]

What the fuck?

[ Olivia ] Dad?

[ Nick ] Easy, easy.

I don't mean you any harm.

I'm just trying to find out what happened

to Horace Cody Taylor.

Horace Cody Taylor!

[ Horace ] Stop.

My time should have ended long ago.

Please kill me.

Excuse me.

Where am I?

[ waves crashing ]

[ fisherman in German ] Allo!

[ Horace ] Please kill me.

Please. Kill me.

Release me.

[ Nick ] I'm sorry.

[ Olivia ] Mom is never going to believe this.

Gentlemen.

[ bikers screaming ]

[ Chris breathes heavily ]

Woo!

Ah, fuck.

Hey!

[ Nick ] There will be another time.

[ Olivia ] I'm here now.

I need you.

Mom needs you.

- [ Nick ] Goodbye Olivia. - No!

[ Olivia ] Dad no, don't say that.

Dad, please.

[ Nick ] Shhh.

[ Olivia ] Help.

[ Olivia cries ]

[ Chris ] Olivia.

[ Olivia ] Was that?

[ Olivia cries ]

I'm sorry.

[ Olivia ] Follow me.

[ Chris ] Are you sure?

[ Olivia ] I think so.

[ Chris ] You think so?

Do you have any other ideas?

[ door opens ]

[ Chris ] Wait.

[ footsteps ]

[ Chris ] It got warm.

[ footsteps ]

Where's the van?

Christ.

Mark.

[ footsteps ]

[ door opens ]

I guess Mark's running late.

[ Chris ] Yeah.

[ footsteps ]

[ Chris ] I can start backing up what I shot last night.

[ footsteps ]

[ keyboard clicking ]

[ Chris ] Oh wow.

[ Olivia ] I can't believe we can see so much.

[ Chris ] 64,000 iso.

- [ Olivia ] Is that good? - [ Chris snickers ]

[ door opens ]

[ Luke ] Hey.

[ Chris ] Luke?

Chris.

[ Olivia ] What's today?

It's Thursday.

[ Chris ] No, the date.

It's September 7th.

No, eighth.

[ Olivia ] Oh my god.

I don't believe it.

[ Olivia ] We time traveled?

We time traveled.

[ Chris & Olivia ] Holy shit.

When we came out of the doorway,

it was dark and the van was gone.

[ Olivia ] We assumed we had just

lost track of time, or Mark

had been asked to leave.

[ Luke ] Wait, what are you guys talking about?

[ Olivia ] You died.

[ Luke ] No, I didn't.

[ Chris ] She means you will die.

I mean, we're all going to die.

[ Olivia ] No, okay . Here, take this.

Okay, listen Luke.

On Saturday, September 10th, we went to Haddonfield Woods and you died.

I died this coming Saturday?

Chris and I jumped back in time,

188 days.

[ Luke ] Do you really want to use this?

[ Olivia ] Yeah, I think so.

- It sets up Arbaghast nicely. - Okay.

[ clock ticking ]

[ emotional music ]

You know, we've done this before.

You were arrogant then, too.

It was like

déja vu over and over.

[ film crew member ] Part 2 take 2.

- How've you been? - Good, good, this is Luke and Chris.

Hi Luke, hi Chris.

Are we filming?

[ Chris ] Yeah. Is that okay?

Oh, sure.

A lot of people

are gonna want to see this part.

[ emotional music continues ]

You're your father's daughter.

[ emotional music continues ]

Every day had already happened.

We were just

experiencing it differently.

[ emotional music continues ]

[ camera shutter clicks ]

[ emotional music ends ]

[ Olivia ] Captain Lynch, we wanted to show you this.

What are those body cams?

We got to wear those now.

Whoa.

I tried to relax.

To decompress.

[ Francine ] There were five bedrooms and I remember that was so fun.

[ Olivia ] Wait is that aunt Connie?

- [ Francine ] That's aunt Connie. - It is aunt Connie.

Oh, my gosh.

- Thin there. - Shh.

Yes, she was.

This is a good time.

It really is.

[ eerie music ]

Chris had a slightly different approach

to reliving the last six months

of his life.

[ Chris ] I can't explain it.

Any of it.

[ Chris laughs ]

Arbaghast was telling the truth.

All of it.

[ TV Sportscaster ] And he's knocked out of bounds at the 27.

That's a time out.

New York down1, with 3 seconds left to play.

27 yards?

This is in the bag.

[ ominous music ]

[ Olivia ] Chris?

[ Olivia ] Chris?

So I actually get what he means.

It's not time travel, like the way

you think of it, it really is traveling through time.

Like, just from one to the next.

- 200 bucks he misses. - You're on.

- 200 bucks he misses. - You're on.

[ car door closes ]

[ Olivia ] Hey, Luke have you seen?

Oh, never mind.

[ Luke ] Okay.

What are you doing?

[ Luke ] I can film around here right?

No, Luke, just stay in the car.

- [ Luke ] But I can help. - [ Olivia & Chris ] No!

Alright. Ready?

Here we go again.

[ Olivia sighs ]

Alright, let's go.

[ hatch closes ]
