[eerie music]

- Hey. - Oh. [chuckles]

- What? - Wash your hands.

[scoffs] - Why?

Come here.

- Couldn't wait till we got home?

- Come on, you know how it is when you need to go.

- [chuckles] Yeah.

[sighs]

- What did you think of the party, then?

- Um, I thought Margaret had one too many.

- [snickers] Didn't she? - [chuckles]

[eerie music]

- What?

What is it?

- Um, nothing.

It--it--it...

it was probably nothing.

- Sue, what was it?

- It--it was an animal or something.

It passed.

- Right. It was probably just a fox, babe.

- It was too big to be a fox.

Um, can we--can we just go home?

- Yeah. That's where we were originally going, remember?

- Okay, can we go that way, please?

- That-- Babe, no.

[scoffs] Look, it's gonna take forever

if we don't just cut through the park here.

What's going on with you today, babe?

You've been acting weird all night long.

- God, you're gonna think I'm so stupid.

It's this thing with Bonnie.

She gave me this image. [scoffs]

- What image?

- You know, like, one of those, um--those NFT things.

- [sighs] - Here.

- Oh. Babe...

don't tell me you're getting into those online scams, man.

NFTs, yeah?

They're nothing but pump-and-dump schemes.

- Yeah, okay, I know, Mark. I-I-I know.

It's just that she's been making a lot of money, okay?

And--and a lot of people are. - [sighs]

- It's not just her.

- Oh, I can't believe this.

- Um, just...listen to me, okay?

She gave me an image that somebody else gave her.

- Right. Okay.

- And I thought nothing of it. She thought nothing of it.

She was being nice, and then she called me earlier today,

and she was act-- she was acting weird.

- Well...

well, weird how?

- She said that the image was cursed.

[music continues]

- Babe, what?

- She said that there are dozens of these cursed images,

and they're being shared online.

And then she hung up.

And I-I tried to call her back, but she didn't answer.

And I've been trying to reach her all night.

[scoffs] - Babe, babe...

- [sighs] - It's Bonnie, okay?

It's a Friday night in London.

She's probably coked out of her little mind.

- You're not listening to me. You didn't hear her, okay?

She sounded really scared. - [sighs]

[music continues]

[odd clicking]

- Did you hear that?

Mark?

[ominous music]

Mark.

[running footsteps, distant shriek]

- [screams]

[panting]

[music continues]

[cell phone vibrates]

[crying]

[branches snapping]

[screams]

[suspenseful music]

[electronic music]

- [clears throat] Okay, guys, raise your glasses.

To Kit.

all: To Kit. - Ah, ah, ah, ah.

It is Captain Kit now, motherfuckers.

all: To Captain Kit. [laughter]

- The luckiest crypto trader alive.

- Hey, man, if you didn't ape in and lose money

on every single project you invested in,

then maybe you could be mooring next to me now.

- I'm not working for a 20-year-old Gen Z boss.

[laughter] - Yeah.

Oh, tell me about it. [chuckles]

[groans]

Fucking rich kids, man, taking over.

[sighs]

See, my current boss--

he made his fortune with meme coins,

and now he's got his own business.

It wasn't that easy for us. - Here we go again.

- No, no, no, man. This ain't funny.

Think about it.

Our generation got fucked over from the start.

By the time we were joining the workforce,

the crash of 2008 happened.

- Yeah, it was a good time for me, too.

- Yeah, it is scientifically proven that us millennials

are the most well-educated generation

earning the lowest wages.

We got caught up in a transition period.

- What the hell are you talking about, man?

- Think about it, man.

By the time our parents were 30, they had their own houses.

And most of us can't even afford a mortgage.

We need to find other ways to succeed,

alternating gigs on top of the full-time jobs we already have--

that is, the ones of us who have the time to do that, anyways.

[scoffs]

Man, like, these Gen Z's, they have it easy as well, man,

with all the free time and opportunity coming their way.

I mean, if you have easy access to Mummy and Daddy's wallet,

you can buy a decent amount of crypto and make some profit

without even having to leave your bedroom.

- [groans] You are so bitter, man.

- Before they even finish college,

these kids are already earning more money than us, man.

By the time we finished college,

the same old prick's still running the companies

that we were working for, giving us shit entry-level jobs.

- Dan, are you even a millennial?

- Dan's clearly a Boomer. - Doomer, more like.

[laughter]

[laughs sarcastically] Yeah, fuck you all.

I'm one of the OG millennials. - Oh, so, old, then.

- Oh, yeah, yeah, you know, the ones that everyone

still called Gen Y and liked

before all the SJWs came and spoiled our rep.

- Listen, if you had just bought into Bitcoin when I told you to,

you wouldn't be the bitter old man you are now.

- Oh. - [chuckles]

- Are you still mining Bitcoin?

- Nah, I cashed mine out when it hit 1K.

I thought it was a pretty good deal.

- You still managed to cash in that last SHIB pump, right?

- You know it. - So wait.

While I was away, you guys just, what, all got rich off crypto?

- Oh, yeah, all of us except Paper-hands Dan here.

[laughter]

- Well, you guys are all weak, though.

The real money's in NFTs.

- Hey, I'm still buying NFTs, too, all right?

I-I paid for my boat's generator with DOGE Pound Puppies.

- But you still don't hold a Moody Krow, though,

do you, fool? - I am a flipper.

- [scoffs] You see, that's-- that's what I'm saying.

Our parents had the money to buy a house and a car.

And we need to be, what, taking risks

buying digital salmon online?

I mean, fucking hell. Give me strength.

- Wait, wait, wait. NFTs?

- Hello?

Non-fungible tokens, digital art.

- On what planet have you been living, man?

- No, I-I've heard about it.

I just don't, like-- I don't get it.

What's the point? - [snickers]

Mate, you're not missing much, anyways.

[knocking on door] - I'll get it.

- What's wrong with you? - What? I've got a life.

Give me a break. - Thank you.

- Listen, listen, it's like, do as I say, but don't do as I do.

- Hey, guys. How are you? - How you doing?

- Hey, guys. - Hey.

- Hey. - Hey.

- Hey.

[laughter, indistinct chatter]

- Hey.

- James, you're back.

- Uh, yeah, I guess so.

Um, it's good to see you.

- You too. [chuckles awkwardly]

- I'm gonna grab a beer, actually.

Do--do you want one? - No, I'm--I'm good.

I'm gonna...

- You guys want beers? - Yeah.

- Go see whatever Sarah is doing right now.

[moody music]

- I can't believe you let Julia bring Cass, man.

- Hey, I didn't know she was bringing her over, okay?

- [sighs] - Guys, it's fine.

- I didn't even want the birds here

in the first place, all right?

I wanted this to be a boys' night.

- Look, I told you, Julia's been on my ass

since we went alone to that Korean party.

- You guys still go to Vauxhall?

- Yeah, me and Kit still go, but shh.

- I can't believe you sometimes, Nes.

- Hey, you're the one who brought Sarah over.

- Yeah, Sarah's one of the fucking boys, remember?

- Guys, honestly, all right, it's cool.

This was bound to happen sooner or later.

- Look, James, I swear,

I didn't even know she was gonna bring Cass over.

- Forget about it, okay?

We're all from the same friendship group.

I mean, you guys can't just stop hanging out

because we broke up.

- You sure you're okay? - Yeah. It's cool.

We're all adults. - Here he is.

- Speaking of adults, just gonna grab a cerveza.

- Mm-hmm.

- You can have that one. I'll get one.

- Oh, cheers, man. - Yeah.

- Hey. - Hey.

- How's it going? - Yeah, it's fine.

- Anything good in there? - I wish.

- [chuckles] I thought he'd have a stash hidden away.

- No. - I know he does.

- I'm sure he will somewhere in here.

I just don't know where it is.

- Have you checked the plant? - [chuckles]

- I am so sorry.

I did not realize he was going to be here.

- It's fine. It's totally fine.

- Oh, my God, is this the first time you've seen each other

since the breakup?

- Guys, it was bound to happen at some point.

- That's right. Shh. - We're adults.

Like, we're just going to have a nice, cordial, casual drink.

And we'll be friendly, and it'll be nice.

It'll be nice.

- You sure? - Yeah.

I'm fine, fine.

- Yeah, he was just saying that he got made redundant

during the pandemic,

so he's been on furlough the last six months.

- Serves him right for choosing a job over you.

Prick. - Too right.

- Hey. Hey.

Uh, babe, can I have a word?

- Can you not grab me like that, please?

- I guess it's not so bad being single, after all.

Better than being stuck with a prick like him.

- Guess so.

- Should we go get a drink? - Yeah. Make it a strong one.

- Yeah, come on.

- Oh, yeah, that'd be great.

Yes, please.

[electronic music]

- [sighs]

- So how's the job hunt going?

- Oh, you know, it's going.

Um, just applying to some design agencies--

fishing, see if I can get a bite.

- I'm sure something will bite eventually.

- Yeah.

- Um...

so you back in the city or...? - Yeah, yeah.

No, I've got a place in Greenwich.

- Cool, cool, cool.

- Just trying to get used to London prices again.

- Yeah, I can imagine it's a lot more expensive than Norwich.

- A little bit, yeah.

- So, what, did you, like, miss the city or...?

- Well, I missed--

- So what have you losers been up to?

- We were just explaining to our friend James here

what NFTs are.

- You don't know what NFTs are? - No, I know what they are.

I just, like--I don't have any.

- Well, you're missing out, or you've been living under a rock

this whole time. - Wait, wait.

You're into NFTs? - Well, I mean, yeah.

I like art, and I'm not about to miss out on an opportunity

to make money, so...

- But you're always so, like, reserved and risk-averse.

What--

- Well, times change, James, and people change.

So, yeah...

I mean, no risk, no reward, right?

- I used to say that. What the fuck?

- Speaking of NFTs, I just made 0.5 ether

on one of those Sevens or whatever they're called.

- Oh! - I'm a genius.

- Go on, Julia.

- She doesn't even know what it's called,

and she's making money.

- Yeah, Sevens, they were super hyped at the start.

- Wait, wait. Isn't that the project that got attacked

by a hacker and the value decreased in, like, seconds?

- Well, it went back up

because the hacker had a change of heart.

He returned the pieces, and the price popped again.

- Well, why didn't you tell me, babe?

I mean, I sold mine at a loss.

- Well, I thought you had them diamond hands, babe.

- All right, so am I getting this right?

Everyone's just, like, into NFTs now?

- Pretty much, yeah.

- Do you remember when I told you

that crypto was like stocks on steroids?

Well, NFTs are like crypto on crack.

- Yeah, there's a new collection dropping

almost every single day.

And if you choose the right projects,

you make so much money.

- My NFT portfolio is pretty much equal in size

to my crypto portfolio,

and I only started last month.

[whispering] I'm up 7K already.

- Oh, give me a fucking break.

This is all one big rug-pull.

These NFTs are a trend that's not going to last very long.

- Oh, fuck you, man. NFTs are here to stay.

- Yeah.

- So I bought into these "projects," right?

I paid 800 quid for 2 stupid JPEGs,

the same ones that those stupid influencers were buying.

- That's where you're going wrong.

- Well, yeah, the next day the price was down to 60 quid.

- You got burnt bad, mate. - Shit.

- But it's a lesson, maybe. - You can say that.

- Look, the key is not to buy when everyone else is buying.

It's being a step ahead of the herd and buying before it pops.

- Yes, exactly, and then selling and then taking profits

before the rug gets pulled.

- And, like, not all of them are scams.

Some of them have, like, really great communities behind them,

and they're good for long-term holds.

- All right, so let's say I...

wanted to get into NFTs.

Hypothetically...

how would you go about starting?

- So you want to join the NFT universe, James, is that it?

- Uh, it's the metaverse.

- James, are you saying you would like our help

in purchasing your first NFT?

Is that what you're saying? - Yes.

Yes, I think that might be what I'm asking.

- He sounds like he's about to lose his virginity.

[laughter]

- Are we really doing this, then?

Are we helping our friend mint his first NFT?

- Let's do this. - I'm down.

- Hey, if you're buying, I'm buying.

- Yes. - Why not?

- What's it gonna be, FOMO fucker?

- [sighs] Man, I can't keep losing money on this shit.

- Dan, you got to flip NFTs now or flip burgers later.

It's your choice.

- Fuck my life.

[laughter]

- So you want to make sure that you got plenty

of Ethereum or Solana.

You've still got a crypto wallet, right?

- Uh, yeah, like, MetaFox or some shit.

- It's called MetaMask.

- Ooh, gas is looking pretty good today, Sarah.

What are we buying?

- Just checking what's trending on OpenSea and Solana now.

- Okay, you got to do your own research.

I'm talking Becker, JRNY Crypto, EllioTrade.

They're all into NFTs.

So, whatever they tell you to buy, you buy.

Got it? Yeah?

All right, good talk.

- Oh, here, man. [groans]

Here, you can have some of my crypto horses, man.

There you go. I don't really give a shit.

You can have them for free. - Oh, are you sure?

I mean, I can give you-- - No, no, no, no.

Forget about it. You're doing me a favor.

I've been trying to get rid of them for months.

- Oh, thanks, I guess. - Yeah.

[both laugh]

Right... - All right.

- So you've got my crypto-wallet address now.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Just send me something anytime.

- Wait a minute. What do you mean by mint?

- Okay, so each NFT has a unique code written into it.

- Meaning no two NFTs will ever be the same.

- Even if they look and feel the same,

there will always at least be a slight difference.

- Like the color, background, attributes

of each image are different. - Mm-hmm.

So you are the unique owner of that NFT

of its kind in existence.

- So, when you mint your NFT,

you will be creating your very own and unique art form.

- Unless, of course,

you're buying from the secondary market,

in which case you'd be buying from someone like me,

who minted at a low price

and will sell it to you for twice as much.

- Yeah, which is why you want to get in early.

[snaps fingers] - Right.

And that's fun for you?

- Oh, yeah. - Yeah.

- I mean, look at these legendary duckies

we're looking at right now.

- I still can't get my head around you being into this.

So, all right, what do you have?

- Something with a good community behind them...

like this one.

James, you paying attention? - Yeah, I'm--I'm listening.

You're talking about community, right?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- But it's not on my face.

It's on the screen, so I'm not going to have to repeat it

over and over and over again. - All right. All right.

- Surprise, surprise. Somebody's not listening.

Um, does somebody else want to explain it to him?

I'm going to get another drink. - Oh, hang on. Hey.

- Well, people do copy it. - Hmm.

- See the blue check mark? It's just like Twitter.

It's not the official collection.

[cell phone vibrating]

- Yo, the weirdest thing just happened.

- What?

- Some random person

just transferred seven NFTs to my account.

- Is that normal?

- Maybe check the wallet address on the Etherscan.

- Check this out.

It's from a collection called Crypto Horrors.

- What'd you say the name was?

- Crypto Horrors.

Pretty standard name, to be honest.

- Holy shit. Those are the ones.

- Ones what? - What?

- You guys haven't heard of Crypto Horrors?

- Enlighten us, please, NFT queen.

- Crypto Horrors NFTs.

Everyone on Reddit is freaking out about them at the moment.

They say they're real cursed images.

- Oh, get out of here. - Oh, Jesus Christ.

- These--like, I know these things are super underground,

but people are talking about them recently.

There's only 666 of them, and they get AirDropped to you

from some unknown wallet at random.

- Ooh.

- And then you're cursed.

- What the fuck? - Come on, Sarah.

[laughter]

- I'm serious.

I've seen so many videos

of people saying they're genuinely cursed.

And, Kit, seriously, if you hold on to them for too long,

you'll start seeing things, hearing things.

- Seems like you're already talking with NFTs, Sarah.

- I heard some people that got them died all of a sudden.

- Okay, okay, I-I actually have to get up early tomorrow,

and I'm--I'm literally getting creeped out.

Absolutely not. - Hey, no, fuck this.

If this shit's really cursed, then I'm sharing

the curse with my friends. - Hey, man.

- No, you can keep that shit. - No, don't do that.

- Oh, yeah, you're all laughing at me now,

but I'm sending each one of these

to each one of you motherfuckers.

- Oh, my God. - Great.

- It's too late. I'm sharing the curse.

- Oh, man, no. - You're such a dick.

- It's too late, Sarah.

I already sent one to your wallet.

And one for Julia and one for Nes.

- Hey, don't send me this random rubbish, man.

If you AirDrop it, it's probably a scam.

If you interact with it,

it's going to probably steal your information.

- Oh, it's too late. I've already sent it.

And one for Cass and one for James.

And you get one, too, Paper-hands Dan.

Right. I think I'm gonna keep this snake-headed woman.

I like her look.

- How come you sent me the cursed hooded chav?

- 'Cause I know you like chavs, babe.

- Oh, charming.

- Cass, what did you get? - I got the Wallcrawler.

- Ooh.

- Ew. - Ooh.

[laughter]

- Creepy as fuck. - I got the Siamese Twins.

Pretty sure we're not allowed to say that anymore, but creepy.

- Yeah. - What'd you get, Dan?

- Yeah, I got the, um, Upside-Down Man.

- Mm. - Hmm.

- Mm.

- How about you?

- I got the Floating Head.

Fucking creepy.

- Ah! - Oh!

- Oh, my fucking God. - Jesus Christ.

- I got the Cotton-Nose Blonde, by the way.

- Yeah, nobody asked. - [snickers]

- That's cool. You're into blondes.

- For now.

- And on that note, I think I'm actually ready for bed, too.

So how about everyone gets the fuck out

and enjoys their little curse?

- You are such a dickhead. - Wow.

- What a host. - Sorry.

- Gracious host, as always.

- I got to curse you and love you and leave you, guys.

- You're on my jacket. You're on my jacket.

- Sorry.

[ominous music]

- So what are you doing after this?

- What, you mean at 2:00 a.m.?

I'm going home, and I'm going to bed.

- Really?

I remember when you used to party till, like, 8:00 a.m.

- I'm not 20 anymore, James.

That was a long time ago. It's just different.

- Cass, can I stay at yours tonight?

- At mine? Yeah. Yeah, what's up?

- Nes is being a dick again.

- Yeah, that's fine. - Thanks.

- I'm just gonna clean up a bit. - Okay.

I'll, uh, grab a cab. - Sounds good.

- Nice to see you, James. - Good to see you, Jules.

- Some people, though, they don't change.

- Mm-hmm. Some people don't.

- Okay, come on.

We've talked about this already, haven't we?

I'm not sleeping over.

- I'm just saying, it's--it's late.

You can't go out there by yourself like that.

I'm just looking out for you. That's all.

- Yeah, sure.

- Excuse me, guys. - Yeah.

- Just mind if I just pop these here.

- Pop them anywhere.

I'll sort them out. - Awesome.

- Cass, here's your coat. - Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

- Do you want to get an Uber with us?

- Nah, I'm fine. I'll walk.

- Really? - Yeah.

- It's 2:00 in the morning. - Yes, exactly.

It is far too dangerous to walk home alone.

- Guys, I've got pepper spray.

I'll be fine. - Oh, of course.

- Yeah, besides, me and Julia started learning Krav Maga.

- That's true. We did. - Got to get my practice in.

- Oh, my goodness, at least take a cab with us halfway.

- At least do that.

- Cass, like, I've got this step-count thing at work,

and I've done fuck-all already today, so...

- She's a strong, independent woman.

She's got this. - Mm-hmm.

I'm walking.

You guys go.

- Fine.

Call me when you get there, okay?

- Sure, Mom. - You should call me, too.

- [scoffs] No. - Jesus.

- Fine. Get out of here. - Thanks for having us.

- Remember, do your own research, okay?

Don't just jump in and jump out on these NFTs

based on other people. - Okay, yeah. Got it, Dad.

- Hey, I'm serious, man.

I make twice as much as you on my day job alone.

Look, it's time for you to change your life

and make some real money for a change.

- Yeah, there's no need to be a dick

just because your girl left you again, man.

- Hey, yo, that's off-limits, man.

- Oh, my bad.

[cell phone chiming]

[eerie music]

[phone clicks off]

[odd rattling]

[rattling continues]

[music continues]

[cell phone chimes]

[odd rattling, low growling, scratching]

- Fucking rat?

[scratching]

Fucking rat.

[scratching continues]

[eerie music]

[scratching, odd rattling]

[ethereal shrieking]

[discordant music]

[ethereal shrieking]

- Shit.

[sighs] - What?

- Please tell me you have my phone.

- No.

- Oh, great.

- Do you want me to call it? - Yes, please.

[sighs] I think I might have left it at Kit's.

[line trilling]

- [gasping, groaning]

[cell phone ringing]

[line trilling] - Nobody's answering.

- Great.

Well, I need my phone. I'll have to go back and get it.

[sighs] Will you come with me?

What?

- It's Nes.

He's apologizing, wants me to go over.

- Of course he does.

It's fine. I'll just go by myself.

- What? No. It's so late.

- What else am I supposed to do?

I can take a cab back.

- Doesn't James live quite close?

- [sighs] No.

I know what you're doing. No. And he lives miles away.

- Cass, I'm not letting you go on your own.

James will come. You just have to call.

- No, I'm not calling him. - Okay, fine. I will.

- No. Julia, no, no, no, no, no.

[elevator clanking, cell phone vibrating]

- Hey, Julia. What's up?

- No, it's, um--it's Cass. Uh...

- Just tell him to go with you.

- Yeah, I just--I think I left my phone at Kit's.

I was going to go with Julia, but she's going to Nes's,

um, so I was actually just gonna go on my own and get it.

- Okay. No, no, I'll call an Uber.

- Thanks.

Okay, bye.

[sighs]

- See? Told you.

- Whatever.

[ominous music]

[cell phone chimes]

[music continues]

[ethereal shrieking]

[music continues]

[water lapping softly]

[crunching]

- [screaming]

[train screeches]

- Hey. - Hey.

You all right? - Yeah.

Yeah, I'm good. Um...

- Probably shouldn't be walking around here late at night.

It's rough out here. - It's fine.

What's up? Is Kit not answering? - No. It's weird.

Been calling him, texting him.

- Think he went out?

- I mean, it is Kit.

He's a pretty spontaneous guy, right?

[doorbell buzzing]

[droning music]

- Look, why are we coming all the way up here

if we don't even know he's in?

- Because it's my phone. I need it.

Besides, if he's passed out,

I can just bang on the door and wake him up.

James.

[door creaking]

James, I don't like this.

Can you, uh--can you call my phone, please?

- Yeah, yeah, sure.

- What the fuck?

[sighs]

- It's ringing.

[cell phone ringing]

- James? - Hmm?

- What is that?

Is that blood?

- Oh, for God's sake, not again.

- What? - [sighs]

Nes was telling me

Kit's been using drugs again ever since Sarah blew him off.

- So, what, you think he did all this by himself?

- I don't know, Cass.

I mean, he has gone a bit mental before, hasn't he?

- I'm calling the cops. - Oh, no, no, no, no.

Wait, wait, wait, no.

- We can't find Kit.

The place is trashed. There's blood on the floor.

I'm calling the police.

- No, that's a total overreaction, all right?

He's probably just gone to Sarah's.

- [scoffs] So him with Sarah in the state that he's in now

is a better situation?

- Look, let's just, first of all,

find out if he's there, okay?

I'll call Sarah, find out if he's there,

and find out if she's okay. - No, I'll call Sarah.

She's more likely to pick up if I call her.

Call Kit.

[sighs]

It's going straight to voicemail.

[cell phone ringing]

[ringing continues]

James...

what if something bad happened?

- [sighs] Come on. Seriously, nothing's happened.

- Then why isn't Sarah answering her phone?

- It's late.

They've been drinking and doing drugs all night.

What do you expect?

- She told me that she would call me

as soon as she got home, and she hasn't done that.

I'm going to go check on Sarah.

- [scoffs] Cass...

it's half past 3:00 in the morning.

- It's just a few blocks away from mine.

- [sighs] Fine. All right. I'll come with you.

- No.

Why don't you just go check with Nes,

see if he's heard from Kit?

He's the one that supplies him, anyway.

- Seriously?

- Yes, seriously, or I'm calling the police

and reporting two missing people.

- [sighs]

You--you really want me to go all the way to Nes's now?

- James, I don't know him that well,

and you seem to know about the situation

between Kit and Nes much better than I do.

This whole night has just been weird.

First, you show up, and then... - All right.

- The place is trashed.

Kit's phone's here. Sarah's not answering.

- Okay, all right. Fine, fine, fine.

I'm going to call Nes before I just rock up at his flat

in the middle of the night, then, okay?

- Fine. Fine. - Fine. Fine.

- [sighs]

[eerie music]

[ethereal shrieking]

- Aah! James! James! James!

- What is it?

- [breathing heavily] I just--I, um...

I saw someone.

[pants]

- Cass, there's no one here.

- Oh--

It's fine. It's fine.

I-I just...

Look, I don't know what I saw.

I just want to get out of here, and I don't--

Look, I don't know what I saw. I just--

I-I'm probably just freaked out by what Sarah said, so...

- What, about the NFTs?

- Yeah, I mean...

No, I-I just--

Look, I-I am just freaked out,

and I just want to find our friends.

- Cass, Cass, Cass. Hey. - And I just want to get

out of here, and I want to go home.

- It's okay, all right? We'll find them, okay?

- Okay.

Whoa, what are you doing?

- Trying my luck. - [scoffs]

James, I'm seeing someone.

- You are? - I am.

And you're the one that broke up with me, remember?

Lock up, dickhead.

- Cass, wait.

[steady electronic music]

[odd cawing, whooshing]

[music continues]

[ominous music]

- In this video, we're gonna be talking

about why there's life-changing opportunity

in the NFT space right now,

what type of projects you should be looking for

in major upcoming events,

and why we're still extremely early to the NFT space.

So, before we get started,

I do appreciate, if you guys like the video,

subscribe to the channel if you haven't already,

and hit the bell to be notified for regular videos.

[soft jingle plays]

All right, everyone--

[cell phone ringing]

- [sighs] This better be good. I was sleeping.

- Tell me you saw it, too.

- Saw what?

- Your NFT, man.

- [chuckles] What?

- Hear me out.

Something happened to me when I was coming back home tonight.

I-I heard this voice.

At first, I thought it was a bunch of kids

just playing pranks,

so I-I ignored it and kept on walking.

But eventually, this voice started to sound

a bit more disturbing. - Dan?

- I just had this feeling that I was being followed.

So I turned around, and I...

Bro, I-I kid you not. I saw this person.

I'm not even sure to call it a person--it was a figure.

And its head...

it was turned upside down.

- [chuckles] Get out of here, man.

You're drunk.

- I-I-I swear to you.

I know this sounds completely batshit,

but I'm starting to think that story Sarah told us

about those cursed images--

I-I'm starting to think that's true.

- This is you trying to get back at me

for the time I made you sell your Bitcoin at 100 quid.

This isn't going to work, man.

- Dude, I don't give a shit about that right now, okay?

J-just hear me out.

- [sighs] Dan--

- Look, you told me to do my research, remember?

Well, I have been doing my own research

on these things for the last two hours,

and I'm starting to think they're really cursed.

- Dan, give it a rest.

It's 3:00 a.m. in the morning. I'm in no mood for prank calls.

- Listen, we're still early.

We have time to get out of this.

- [sighs] That's some heavy FUD, man.

- Nes, I am serious, okay?

Look, I've been watching these videos

and reading these forums.

People go missing playing with these.

- Yeah, right.

- These images are based on creatures

said to exist in different mythologies.

Each of these creatures

are said to have appeared multiple times

throughout the ages in different countries.

They're the stuff different cultures grow fearing as kids.

- So you're telling me that all these entities

are based off old-school legends?

- Yes.

But what are those legends based off in the first place?

- I don't know, man.

What are urban legends based off...

folklore?

- What if they're based on curses

that actually exist?

- What are you smoking?

- You got the Cotton-Nose Blonde, right?

The first tale about her came out in 18th-century Brazil.

She was a rich woman who died a violent death

at the hands of her lover

once he found out that she was cheating on him.

Her spirit hunts evil men ever since.

[doorbell rings]

Remember, you told me

that each NFT is unique, right?

Well, each curse is unique.

No two of them would be the same.

- All right, listen, you're being weird.

I got to go. - Nes, this is serious.

[doorbell rings] We're in danger.

- All right, cheers, Dan. Have a good night, yeah?

- Wait, wait, wait-- - Weird guy.

- One thing you need to do is--

Hello?

Nes?

Nes, are you still there?

[sighs]

Motherf--

- Why weren't you opening the door?

- What's up with you? - I think I'm being followed.

- What?

- Can we turn the lights on, please?

- Not until you tell me what's going on, no.

- I was just taking that pathway,

that shortcut to get to yours.

I swear, I could hear this woman crying in the dark.

And then--and then this happened.

- What exactly are you telling me here?

- The eyes are different.

- Uh, okay.

I see what's going on here.

So your NFT's coming to life, right?

What, what, you're seeing images, right?

J-just like Dan. - What are you talking about?

[cell phone vibrating]

- This.

This is what I'm talking about. [cell phone rings]

Nice try, Dan.

Give it a rest now, okay?

So what are you and Dan up to, hmm?

W-what's the catch?

- Wait, Dan's been hearing things, too?

- Julia, please.

- Look, just give me back my phone.

I need to speak to him. - [scoffs]

What the hell is wrong with both of you?

- Nes, something is going on, and I'm not the only one

experiencing it, by the sounds of it.

- Yeah, right. - Look, you spoke to Dan.

What did he say? - Julia, I'm in no mood.

- Why would I be making this stuff up?

- I don't know, man.

Nothing you do makes any sense. - Excuse me?

- Look, you do whatever you feel like it

whenever you feel like it,

and you don't give a crap about anyone.

- What the fuck, Nes? - You know what?

I don't know what you and Dan are up to,

but I don't give a damn.

I'm hearing no more of this.

- [sighs] Who is it?

- It's James, okay?

- What does he want?

- What's up, bro? It's late.

Did you try Sarah?

What?

No, man, I told you. I don't do that anymore.

[sighs] Jeez, man.

Fuck, it's a bit much.

Probably just drugged out of their minds together.

Look, they probably got one of my hidden stashes somewhere.

[sighs]

Okay, yeah, sure, man, you can come over.

I'm going to take a shower.

All right.

James is coming over.

- Why?

- [sighs]

- What's going on? Tell me.

- Kit and Sarah are missing.

- What?

Oh, my God, Sarah.

- What's the endgame here, Julia, hmm?

You're going to keep up this narrative of haunted NFTs?

- Kit and Sarah are missing,

and you still think I'm making this stuff up?

- I don't know what you and Dan are up to,

but there better be a very good reason for this.

- Look, just give it back.

- What, you want your cursed image back?

- Nes, I need to speak to him.

I need to find out what Dan knows.

- [chuckles]

- You clearly don't believe me, do you?

- Apologize.

- For what?

- Apologize for your horrible behavior

this evening first.

Then I'll give you your phone back.

- You're a fucking asshole, you know that?

Give it back.

- What?

- Give me my phone back. - No. Stop.

Aah! Aah!

- You are the most toxic person I've ever met.

I hope you get whatever's coming for you tonight.

- Yeah? Yeah? - Yeah.

Well, don't bother coming back.

- I won't, dickface.

[keys jingle, clatter on floor]

[ominous music]

- Jet, what do y'all think?

- Listen, listen, listen, listen, all right, PSA.

Y'all need to stop asking

about this--this-- this cursed-NFT shit, all right?

I think it started on Reddit or some shit

'cause, you know, everything starts from Reddit.

They send you a JPEG.

And, apparently, it's got, like, a ghost or demon in it

or some shit.

Like, they get burned if they hold NFTs too long.

Like, you know, it loses value.

So, if you hold it too long, it'll lose the money, right?

This one, apparently, if you hold the shit too long,

it kills you. - No, man.

- Like, it straight-up kills you.

- First of all, who the fuck gonna buy some shit like that?

- I wish somebody would have the audacity

to send me a cursed NFT, 'cause you know what I'ma do?

- You gonna send that motherfucker--

I'm sending that right back at you.

I'm sending that motherfucker right back to you.

[cell phone chimes]

[music continues]

[odd chuckle]

[cell phone chiming]

[music continues]

[ethereal shrieking] - [growls]

- Make sure you call me when you get there, okay?

Oh, and, James...

be careful, mate.

[droning music]

[cell phone chimes]

[line trilling]

- Come on, Julia, pick up.

[suspenseful music]

[ominous pounding]

- Julia?

[cell phone vibrates]

[ominous pounding]

[door creaking]

[floor creaking]

Julia?

[eerie music]

[soft clatter]

[music continues]

[doorbell buzzes]

- Yo, Nes, it's me. Open up.

[doorbell buzzes]

[door clicks]

Fucking jerk.

Okay, I'm at Nes's. Did you get hold of anyone yet?

- No.

Nes and Julia are not picking up.

- Listen, if this whole cursed-images thing

is some kind of a prank that you were in on

to welcome me back to London, it's gone too far, okay?

- Dude, something serious is going on.

- I'm serious, Dan. I'm not amused, okay?

I know how you weirdos can get.

Shit.

- What?

The door's open, just like Kit's.

- James, be careful, man.

Remember what I told you.

- Each curse is unique.

- Yes.

And, remember, Nes got the Cotton-Nose Blonde.

Tell him he needs to show her her own reflection

in order to stop her.

It's the only way.

- [sighs] This is ridiculous.

- James, each solution is different, okay?

It's how we beat them. - Okay, Dan.

I'll call you later.

- W-wait. James?

[ominous music]

- Nes?

It's me.

You guys okay?

I'm coming in.

Nes?

Nes?

Nes?

[eerie music]

[bones cracking]

[suspenseful music]

Fuck.

Nes?

Nes!

[breathing heavily]

[music continues]

[camera shutter clicks]

- [screeches]

[shrieking]

[music continues]

- [grunting softly]

[sniffles]

[cell phone vibrates]

- James.

- [breathing heavily] Nes is dead.

[eerie music]

Nes is--is dead.

You were right.

Something's happening to us.

I think we're cursed.

- I knew it.

I fucking knew it.

- [sniffles] Nes is dead,

and I-I think something's happened to Julia, too.

[music continues]

- Do you, um...

do you think Kit and Sarah are gone, too?

- I saw something, man, in--in Nes's apartment.

- What did you see?

- Uh, t-t-t-this woman, this-- this fucking horrible woman.

She was--

- Come on, talk to me.

Let me try and help you.

- It's the fucking NFT, man, the fucking--

the--the NFT fucking came to life and killed Nes.

We--we need to call the police.

- James, where is this woman now?

- [groans] - Where did she go?

Are you hurt?

[music continues]

- [sniffles]

No. No, she--she's--she's gone. She--she vanished into thin air.

- Wait. How?

- I showed her her own reflection.

You were right.

I took a photo of her... - For fuck's sake.

- Showed it to her, and--and she disappeared.

She--she fucking killed Nes.

- James, hang on, buddy. Stay with me.

If you stopped her,

that means that we can still win this, okay?

I mean, it's too late for Nes,

but it's not too late for us, okay?

Remember what I said.

Each curse is different. Each solution is different.

We each have our own demons, and each of us

will have different ways to deal with them.

- Oh, my God, Cass.

Dan, how do we stop Cass's demon?

- Okay, hang on. Um...

So, uh, Cass got the Wallcrawler.

That's based on the Japanese legend of the jorōgumo,

a type of yōkai, a demon.

- Great, Dan. How do I stop it?

- Okay, wait.

To stop the jorōgumo, you will need to strike it with a sword.

Fuck.

- [sighs] For God's sake, Dan, come on.

There must be another way.

- I-I'm sorry, James.

I can't seem to see anything else.

- Dan, please, tell me there's another way.

- I'm--I'm sorry, dude.

[light thump]

[odd chittering]

[thumping on window] - [snarling]

- Dan...

how do I stop my demon?

- I haven't had time to check yours yet, mate.

- I'm gonna need you to look it up.

It's here.

- James?

James, talk to me.

[lights click]

[suspenseful music]

I'm going to have to call you back, James.

- Dan, don't you fucking dare hang up.

Don't hang up! Fuck.

[music continues]

- [snarling]

[odd chittering]

[hisses]

- You're here, aren't you?

[stammers]

I made a circle. I'm protected.

I know how to-- I know how to beat you.

[ominous music]

[gasps]

- [snarling]

- [breathing rapidly]

[music continues]

[whimpering]

[whimpering]

[cell phone vibrates]

No fucking way.

No fucking way. No fucking way.

[demon chittering]

[demon growling softly]

[ominous music]

[cell phone vibrating]

James, get rid of the image. I was wrong.

The NFT--you need to get rid of it.

It's--it's the only way to stop them.

- What? But you said--

- Forget what I said.

I think the curse is linked to us.

It won't affect anyone but the people who hold the image.

You need to pass your curse on.

You need to pass it on to someone else.

- How? How do I do that?

- You have to send it to someone else's wallet.

You have to do it. It's the only way.

- Fucking how? - James--

[pounding] - [growls]

James, just do it.

You have to send it to someone else's wallet.

You have to do it. It's the only way.

James, you have to pass the curse on.

Just do it now. - [snarling]

- James, talk to me.

[cell phone chimes]

James, what happened?

James?

James, talk to me.

- [crying] I'm sorry.

[cell phone vibrates] I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I didn't know what to do. I didn't know what else to do.

I'm sorry, Dan.

- James, what have you done?

- I...

I'm so sorry. - What the fuck have you done?

[clatter, chittering]

[door creaks]

[eerie music]

[screaming]

- [crying] I'm so sorry.

[muffled grunting over phone]

[cell phone ringing]

- Oh, come on, come, come, come, come.

Pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up.

- James? Hey. - Cass, Cass, are you all right?

- Hey. Yeah, I'm just at Sarah's.

Uh, it's just really bad reception.

- Right, Cass, listen to me.

Just get rid of the NFT. Get rid of it now.

- What are you talking about?

I got rid of the NFT ages ago.

- You what?

- Yeah, I just gave it to some random guy on Twitter.

- You--you can do that?

- Some random guy on Gary Vee's Twitter feed,

I sent it to his wallet address. Um...

- All right, listen, I'm--I'm coming to Sarah's.

Cass, I'm com-- - James, I, um--

- Cass, just stay-- - I can't really hear you.

You're kind of breaking up. - Just stay--

- Look, I'm at Sarah's now. I'm just going up.

So, if you can hear this, when you get here,

buzz, and I'll let you in. - Cass, just stay put.

I'm coming over. - Bye.

[elevator doors opening]

- [electronic voice] Going up. Door closing.

[ominous music]

[odd trilling]

[door opens]

[door closes]

- Cass?

Oh, thank God.

Thank God.

Are you okay?

Cass?

[eerie music]

[door creaking softly]

[static whirring on TV]

- Sarah?

Sarah?

[whirring volume decreases]

Sarah? [keys clatter on table]

Oh, my God.

You scared the shit out of me, Sarah!

I--

You were supposed to text me when you got home!

God, I almost called the police, you know.

And I couldn't get a hold of Kit either.

[breathing heavily]

Sarah?

- Something happened to me last night.

[gasps]

[music continues]

- What happened?

Sarah?

- [demonic voice] I died.

- [gasps, screaming]

- Cass?
