[basement door opens]
[music]
This is an interesting space.
Hey, where are you going next?
I'm going to inspect the ducting.
Oh my gosh, it's bigger than I thought.
[music]
[ominous music]
[distorted whispeing] [trilling sfx]
Did you hear that?
Here what?
I don't know.
An echo maybe?
No, I didn't hear anything.
Hey, where did Kyle go?
Over there.
Looks like he got started without you.
Oh well, his loss.
I'm going to go see what else is down here.
[music]
[distorted whispering]
[music]
[ominous music]
[music]
It's perfect.
[music]
So, what do you think?
It's exactly what I wanted.
[footsteps]
Hey, what's this?
[music]
[footsteps]
It looks like some kind of stain.
I bet you can just paint over it.
Hmm.
I don't know.
[music] [muffled voices approaching]
Hey, nice light.
Was it the northern light or southern light
that's better for painting masterpieces?
[knocking sound] Michael.
Do you have a key for the furnace room?
Excuse me.
[footsteps]
[music]
[keys jingle] I think I found the one.
But I'll come with you just in case.
Hey, I'll join you guys.
No.
Only Kyle, goes in.
I have a right to see what I'm buying.
I represent the owner and he says only the inspector goes in.
If you don't like it, buy another house.
Maybe I will.
Maybe you should.
[music]
[door slams] That guy is a complete and total douche.
[music] [footsteps] [furnace room door opens]
Is there a working light in here?
No.
Did you bring a flashlight?
Nope.
I suggest you wait over there, then.
[music] [rhythmic heartbeat builds]
Hey, where's the fuse box?
On the far wall.
I see it.
Be right back.
[ominous music] “Oma…Oma…Oma..."
No, no, no, no. [heartbeat intensifies]
I thought the seal would hold this time.
[moving dirt]
[uncovering the seal]
[ominous music]
No, no, no, no.
Is this green one a hot water heater?
[LOUD BANG] [AGGRESSIVE ATTACK MUSIC]
[violent coughing] Oh shit! I gave him a heart attack.
[music]
[more coughing]
No, you didn’t. Just finish up.
You sure?
[music]
I'm going out for some fresh air.
[curious music]
Where's Michael?
He left.
I think he had some kind of panic attack.
I turned on the water heater and scared him to death.
Well, good riddance.
He has got very negative energy.
In any case, I'm all done here.
Thank you all for your time.
I'll contact you when the report is ready.
Great. Thank you, Kyle.
Are you two ready to head back?
Yeah.
I think so.
It's been a really strange day.
Home inspections always feel that way.
You'll feel better tomorrow.
[foreboding music]
[phone rings] Emily Callaway, leave message.
Hi guys, I just heard back from the sellers agent
and your offer has been accepted.
Congratulations, you two.
I'll ring you again this evening to follow up.

[groaning] [footsteps] [leather chair creaking] [answering machine beeps]
Hello, Mr. Smith.
I wanted to let you know that you're recent payment’s been processed.
And you can resume your medical coverage effective immediately.
Thank you, have a nice day.
[answering machine beeps] [drawer open, pages flip] [ringtone]
[phone rings] Hello.
Hello, Emily Callaway.
This is Michael Smith.
I used to manage the property on Evergreen Street.
Oh, hello.
I didn't expect to hear from you again.
I called you to give you my (coughs), contact information.
In case you need help.
Help with what?
The basement.
I think we have it covered, but thank you.
If you should find that you don’t— you have my number.

[tv clicks on] [static] "Rising temperatures are predicted to continue.
[channel canging] A drought level reaching an all time highs.
[channel canging] Scientists predict the biggest locust hatch in history.
[channel canging] The most solar radiatin ever recorded.

[channel canging] … it’s simply not enough.
[channel canging] You have to realize, Dan, is that this is a very clear warning.
[channel canging] This is a very clear warning."
[channel changes] [static surges] [music]
[bedroom door opens] Ugh, I'm exhausted.
Well, not me. [snores comically]
[music]
I think we're making good progress, though.
It's only been a few months since we moved in.
It's finally starting to feel like home.
[closet door opens] [ominous music] [undulating sfx] [trilling sfx]
Big meeting tomorrow.
Sexy or smart?
Is this a multiple choice?
Because I think I'd like to take all of the above.
No, you goober.
Pick one.
Oh, do I have to?
If you want me to get in bed with you anytime soon.
Go with the black one and get over here right now.
[ominous music] [trilling]
Ugh, it is disgustingly muggy up here right now.
Turns out hot air rises.
Uh-huh.
It's not that bad, you wimp.
Yeah, well, we'll see who's the wimp at the end of the month
because it's supposed to hit record highs.
This early?
Well, apparently climate change is a real thing.
Don't remind me.
Maybe I could help you forget.
I thought you were too hot to move.
You know, there’s always room for desert.
[laughter]
[ominous music] “Oma… Oma… Oma…"
THE COLONY calls out from the void, a HIGH FREQUENCY MOAN that chills the spine.
[foreboding music]
NARRATOR: Near and far a select few can hear a calling in the air tonight.
[music]
A beguiling him older than human memory,
traveling through space and time in all directions.
And with it, in perfect harmony, the moon rises,
the tide swells,
and the seasons begin to change.
[music]
