Hey, Layla.
Have you been a good girl?
You're just hungry.
Come on, girl.
[LAYLA WHINING]
Yeah, me too.

Come on, Audrey, you can do this.
MAN: The patients are beginning to speak
of a presence in the clinic.
Something they can feel.
Something I can feel.
Something I don't dare admit I've felt before.
While I continue to explain away the Boogeyman's existence
as nothing but the darkness within ourselves,
I'm left to wonder
does that make him anything less than real?

And we're back.
You're listening to Headspace on WZXB,
Wolfbridge University radio.
I'm Sarah Morris and as always, I'm here with Dr. Roger Kane,
clinical psychiatrist
and head of Wolfbridge's Psychology Department.
And we've got Liam on the line.
Liam, how can we help you?
LIAM: Yeah, this is a question for Sarah.
Fire away, Liam.
I listen to your show every night.
You have a really sexy voice.
Really.
What exactly is your question?
So, what do you say, Sarah? Can I take you out sometime?
Heh! Sorry, Liam, my boyfriend is understanding,
but not that understanding.
So I guess a blowjob's completely out of the question?
[LAUGHTER IN BACKGROUND]
Uh, not necessarily.
Just bend down as far as you can, open up wide
and give it your best shot.
[LINE CLICKS]
Uh, our next call is from Eric. Eric, how are you tonight?
ERIC: Okay, I guess.
Actually, not so good.
My girlfriend broke up with me last week,
and I've been having a hard time dealing with it.
SARAH: Well, sounds like you really cared about her.
Yeah, I still do.
I think it was all my fault.
Well, I'm a freshman,
and I haven't made that many friends.
I guess I just need someone to talk to.
Well, that's why we're here, Eric. Fire away.
[MUSIC PLAYING OVER COMPUTER]
Hey, you still here?
Hi. Just putting the finishing touches
on my ultimate breakup CD.
You know, one of the cry-in-your-beer
women-are-nothing-but-crazy manipulative-bitches variety.
For that last caller?
I had Brandon get his info before he hung up.
Sarah... I know. I just--
He seemed so sad.
You know, he was blaming himself
for everything he's going through,
and I knew what that feels like.
I'm proud of you.
What you've overcome this past year...
It's gonna make you a great psychiatrist one day.
I don't need to explain
why a psychiatrist should never hand-deliver a sappy mix CD
to a broken-hearted patient's bedroom, do I?
It's a good thing I'm not a psychiatrist yet.
I'm serious. Never underestimate the influence
your words and actions have on others.
Okay. See you.
Bye.

Hey, did you talk to your dad about winter break yet?
Uh, yeah. Yeah, I told him I was going home with you,
and he's fine with it.
That is so awesome. My family's gonna love you so much.
Um, so has anyone heard from Audrey?
Um, I left a message on her cell,
I just haven't heard back yet.
Wow, the murders are all over the news. It's--
I didn't realize her dad was a big deal.
Oh, he's huge.
He's been published in every major Psych journal.
Maybe-- Maybe I should try her cell again.
Maybe you should give her some time.
She may not wanna talk about it yet.
Yeah, I know. I'm just worried about her.
Ha-ha-ha! Jeremy, Jeremy, little bit of vitamin C?

You showered in your bikini? Yeah.
Some perv fraternity is making their pledges install webcams

Yeah. Oh, come on.
I hear that story twice a semester. No.
A girl in my theater class told me that it happened to--
It happened to, like, one of her friends in another dorm.
Hearsay. There's no way that that's true.
Well, I'm not taking any chances.
I'm not ending up on the Internet like last time.

Hi, you're on with Sarah and Dr. Kane.
[BREATHING]
Caller, do you have a question?
[BREATHING]
AUDREY: Hi. Ahem.
I'm being stalked.
SARAH: It's Audrey. He won't leave me alone.
I-- I don't know what else to do.
He just follows me everywhere I go.
KANE: Is he a friend, a boyfriend?
I'm afraid we need to know about your situation fully
in order to help you.
You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
Why wouldn't we believe you?
Because you don't believe in the Boogeyman.
What exactly do you mean by the Boogeyman?
He killed my dad, and, um...
And those other people.
I'm next.
[♪]
Your father was one of those killed at the Hillridge Clinic.
I'm very sorry.
You must be experiencing a great deal of pain.
Look, I-- I know you don't believe me,
but you will.
[PANTING]
Once I'm dead, you'll know I was right.
Call campus security and get someone over to Hammonds Hall.
Which room? 403. Her name is Audrey Allen.
KANE: Tell them she may be suicidal.
Sarah?
Hello?
Let's begin by clarifying a few things.
[♪]
I understand your father was killed
by a man who thought he was the Boogeyman.
No. No. Look, it was him.
I've tried to tell Sarah but she won't listen.
I wouldn't believe me either but it's the truth.
He's real.
I don't know what to do.
You do realize the Boogeyman is a legend?
One that a very sick man used as an excuse to hurt your father,
but a legend nonetheless.
I-- I found my dad's journal.
Look, he knew the Boogeyman was real.
He knew he was gonna die.
Look, my dad was trying to help those people before they all--

That she--
It's not true, is it?
She hung herself with a belt.
Jeez.
[CRYING]
SARAH: I think I'm getting sick again.
You feel fine to me.
No, I mean sick. Sick the way I was last year.
I saw something in Audrey's room.
Something that wasn't really there.
What did you see?
Sarah, if you don't wanna talk about it--
I saw someone standing over Audrey
like they had strangled her.
Who was it?
I don't know.
Sarah, you were in shock.
You witnessed one of your best friends die tonight.
It's probably-- It's the same way my mom died.
What if it triggered something?
Something that I thought wasn't there anymore?
No.
Sarah, listen to me.
After what you've been through tonight,
you could tell me you saw a herd of pink elephants
in Audrey's room and I'd still think
you're the sanest girl I know.

Yeah, we were.
KATIE: Hey, where should I send her stuff?

Well, if there's anything of hers that you'd like to keep...
Yeah, I think there is.
Thanks, Katie.
Uh, he ain't here.
Where is he? Study group.
Uh, Sarah, by the way, um, I'm really sorry about your friend.
Yeah, a bunch of us were listening to your radio show
when she called in.

So, um, am I helping you pack your clothes
or am I simply packing them?
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
Ahem, yeah, come in.
Come in.
[CLEARS THROAT]
SARAH: Careful. I got high
just walking down the hallway. [COUGHING]
Everything okay?
Uh, I found something in Audrey's room.
Her dad's private journal.
Audrey was right about her dad.
He did believe the Boogeyman was real.
You know, he thought he was some kind of physical manifestation
of our darkest fears.
Well, you said he was a respected psychologist.
He never told anyone what he wrote in the journal.
He was afraid his patients would suffer for it.
More like his career.
His theory was that his patients
were susceptible to the Boogeyman
because they believed in him.
When you said Audrey was strangled,
who did you think--?
I mean, you didn't--
Let's change the subject, okay?
I just can't believe her nutjob dad
was in charge of helping those patients.
It's strange. Even though his theories are illogical,
he doesn't come off like a raving lunatic in the journal.
He articulates his thoughts clearly.
JEREMY [SCOFFING]: Come on, Sarah.
I mean, if you believe a word of what was in that journal,
you're as crazy as he was.
[JEREMY CHUCKLING]
What?
That's not what I said.
Shit, sorry.

Don't worry about it. It's cool.

The night Audrey died was the first time I saw the Boogeyman.
Sarah-- I know what you're gonna say.
This is not about the Boogeyman. This is about--
Audrey dying the same way my mom died, I know.
This is about your guilt.
It's always been about the guilt.
You blame yourself for not preventing
your mother's suicide.
You think I blame myself for Audrey too?
I think a lot of those guilty feelings
came bubbling back up to the surface.
What do you think?
I wish I'd taken Audrey more seriously.
By believing in the Boogeyman?
Validating her fear by making it your own?
Sarah, you're not afraid of the Boogeyman.
You're afraid of the guilt. Of what it's capable of.
Guilt that you've never completely come to terms with.
So I'm going crazy because I'm afraid of going crazy?
That's what you're saying?
You're not crazy.
Either I'm crazy or the Boogeyman is real.
And right now, I don't know which one is worse.
They're the same fear.
Sarah, once you face it,

will bother you anymore.

The humiliation?
There ain't no way I'm going through that shit again.
Some other guy was supposed to do it, but he never came back.
Probably got caught. Fucking idiot.
[LAUGHS]
I will give you 50 bucks to do it for me.
I hope you're kidding.
No. You can walk right into the bathroom.
I have to crawl through the fucking heating ducts.
I don't think that's a good idea.
Me either. That's why you should do it for me.
No, Ben, I'm serious. I saw--
What?
I saw blood coming out of those vents.
Blood.
[SIGHS]
Oh, man.
Is this about the--?
The Boogeyman?
Because that's what everyone in the cafeteria was talking about.
See? That's what I'm talking about.
Everyone's talking about it because--
Because it's fucking creepy.
No, it's completely irrational.
I'm just trying to help you, Sarah.
I appreciate your help.
DAVID: Where are you going?
Haven't you heard? I'm going crazy.
[DOOR CLOSES]
I feel really shitty.
DR. ALLEN: The patients are beginning
to speak of a presence in the clinic.
Something they can feel. Something I can feel.
Something I don't dare admit I've felt before.
While I continue to explain away
the Boogeyman's existence
as nothing but the darkness within ourselves,
I'm left to wonder:
Does that make him anything less than real?
[GRUNTS]
Come on, man, let's find those girls.
[SIGHS]
You missed your Behavioral Genetics final.
Dr. Kane, I'm sorry.
I-- I had something important I had to take care of.
More important than passing my class?
"Sociology of Modern Oral Legends."
Thinking about changing your major?
I found this article in Dr. Allen's journal.
He was trying to find a way to stop the Boogeyman.
Sarah, we've talked about this.
The Boogeyman is not real. He is a legend.
A-and according to this article,
a legend lives or dies based on its social relevancy.
A legend is a fictional story, Sarah.
Not a living, breathing entity. You do realize that?
Sarah, indulge me.
Why do we create legends,
just from a psychological point of view?
We create legends as parables.
Stories to help us understand the world we live in.
Whew.
All right.
Okay.
This is the most fun I've had in years.
So, what does that say about the Boogeyman?
It says we're trying to define evil
by giving it a face and a name.
Yes. And as long as there is evil in this world,
the Boogeyman remains socially relevant.
That's all it's saying.
No, it's saying that the legend survives
because the person retelling the story believes it.
But you're taking that completely out of context.
Don't you see? The Hillridge Clinic murders,
they make the legend real.
It's as if the legend has a life of its own.
[CHUCKLING]
Oh, yeah.
Oh, hello, baby.
Oh, what you want?
Yeah, that's right.
Let me introduce you
to my one-eyed friend.
[THUMPING]
[RUMBLING]
GIRL 1: Did you hear anything?
[DUCTS CREAKING]
Up there.
You guys, this is creepy.
GIRL 2: What was that? What was that?
[ALL TALKING INDISTINCTLY]
SARAH: There was an incident last year.
A man named Tim Jensen
blamed his murders on the Boogeyman.
And what does that have to do with this?
Both stories are different variations
of the same legend.
Usually, when a person retells the legend,
they change it to fit society's needs.
But in this case--
Wait, wait, wait. Sarah, listen to what you're saying.
A-- A-- A legend cannot modify itself.
This one can.
To some people, the Boogeyman is Tim Jensen.
To other people, it's Henry Porter.
But it's the original legend that gains its strength
every time it's reborn.
So you missed my final
because you were trying to stop a legend
from perpetuating itself.
You understand why that worries me?
I'm running out of time.
Wait a minute, Sarah.
Sarah?
[SIGHS]
What the...?
Blood.
[GASPING]
[GROWLING]
[GRUNTS]
Oh, fuck.

[ROARING]

So, what are you saying, Sarah?
Every time someone buys this crap,
the Boogeyman gets stronger?
It keeps the legend alive.
It keeps him alive.
David, it's about to happen here. In this dorm.
The legend is about to be reborn.
What did I miss?
Did you talk to Jeremy or Lukas?
No. And I've looked everywhere.
See? It's happening.
Well, Jeremy did have finals all day.
They probably went out to celebrate after.
Without calling you?
I'm not saying he won't be punished.
I just-- I don't think he was killed
by some mythological creature.
SARAH: Come on, Lindsay.
What was the longest Jeremy's ever gone without calling you?
An hour?
Sarah,
you're my best friend and I love you,
but if you honestly think
that everyone in our dorm is gonna die,
why aren't you leaving?
Because I can't do that.
I can't just walk away and let everyone--
I have to get them out of here.
Sarah, this is ridiculous. You're not going to convince
an entire dorm full of people to just leave.
JEFF [ON RADIO]: This is DJ Def Jeff,
and you're listening to WZXB radio.
I'll be with you all night long
keeping the energy alive
so all those can stay awake.
JEFF: Listen to this.

Hi. You're not even supposed to be here tonight.
What are you doing?
[FEEDBACK WAILS]
Attention.
All students living in Hammonds Hall,
[OVER RADIO]: this is Sarah Morris with an emergency announcement.
Oh, shit.
Campus security has issued an emergency request
for all students to evacuate
[OVER RADIO]: Hammonds Hall immediately.
Take your belongings and stay with a friend.
Anyone not in Hammonds Hall.
I repeat. This is an emergency announcement
for students of Hammonds Hall to evacuate immediately.
Take your belongings with you.

Several students are already missing.
It's dangerous for anyone to remain--
MAN [ON RECORDING]: You're listening to WZXB Radio.
Up next, DJ Def Jeff and the smooth grooves.
What the hell are you doing?
I'm calling campus security.
They haven't made any announcement.

Sarah Morris?
Are you Sarah Morris? Yes, but listen to me.
I can explain. I'm sure.
Please. There is a journal in my room, that will-- David.
Hey, back off. Tell me where you're taking her.
Go back to your dorm, she'll call you when she's done.
Don't go back to the dorm. Promise.
Get in the car.
Back off.
Please, David. David, don't go back.
[ENGINE STARTS]
David.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]
[RINGING]
Hey, David. Um, is Sarah with you?
DAVID: No, they took her to the security office.
Security office? Why?
Long story. Is she okay?
Yeah, but they won't let me see her.
Did you hear from Jeremy?
No, I still haven't heard from Jeremy or Lukas.
I'm, um...
I'm-- I'm starting to wonder if--
What? [CHUCKLES]
Maybe Sarah was right.
Yeah, I'm packing up my stuff and getting out of here.
Try not to worry.
Okay. Well, just keep me posted.
Bye. Bye.

I mean, it's a little bit extreme
keeping her locked in a cell on her own.
She's claiming everyone in her dorm is going to die.
SARAH: Dr. Kane.
[SIGHS]
All right.
What are you doing here? Sarah.
You have half the student body in a total panic for nothing.
My friends Jeremy and Lukas are dead.
I saw them. There was blood all over the hallway.
And then-- Sarah.
You're relapsing to the time of your mother's death.
You have to let go.
Sarah, it is not your fault.
I know it's not my fault.
This has nothing to do with how my mother died.
Please.
I just-- I know something horrible is gonna happen.
Why hasn't anyone else seen this blood?
Because it is in your head.

Where are you calling from?
I'm in the-- In the laundry room in Hammonds Hall.
Okay, stay where you are.
I'm gonna call the police
and I'm on my way over there right now.
A student's body's been found in Hammonds Hall.
I gotta go. Come on.
No, it's okay. I'll take care of her.
All right.
See? I was telling you the truth.
It's him. That's not what this means.
You can't honestly believe that this was a coincidence.
Please.
If we don't do something
they're gonna find more bodies in that dorm. Just--
You have to believe me.

Oh, my God. You do believe me.
That is not what you think it is.
No.
Wait, Dr. Kane. Don't go in there.
See?
Absolutely nothing to worry about.

Sarah, get the keys. Get the keys.
There. On the desk, Sarah.
Oh, my God.

Oh, God.

Try them one at a time. Hurry.

DAVID [ON PHONE]: Sarah.
David.
David, I figured it out.
It's all my fault.
Sarah, slow down. Where are you?
[RAGGED BREATHING]
He wanted me to see Audrey die.
He wanted me to tell people about it. He used me.
He used me to convince everyone he was real.
Sarah, you were right.
You were right about everything.
I'm so sorry I didn't believe you.
Tell me where to take the journal
and I'll be right there.
Wait, where are you?
DAVID: I'm in your room.
You're still in the dorm.
David, you have to get out of there.

I hope all of you freshman listeners
managed to survive the first week of classes.
Here we go.
Campus radio sucks.
Jennifer, did you hear me?
I'm trying to study.
Nobody studies the first week of classes.
You're crazy.
So was the last girl who lived here.
What are you talking about?
That girl.
The one who thought
the Boogeyman was killing everyone.
The RA told me this was her room.
[SCOFFS] You're so full of shit.
I'm serious.
It all happened in our building.
Seriously?
They just changed the name
so no one would be scared to live here.
After all, who wants to live in a building
where they found bodies in the heating vents?
[GIGGLES]
What's wrong, are you scared?
I'm annoyed.
I'm going to the library.
Where it's quiet.
Come on,
I was just kidding around. I'll be quiet.
I will see you in the morning.
Seriously, I'll be quiet.
You don't wanna be in here alone, do you?
Don't be ridiculous.
