fifth problem [ dictated ]

Shadows in the dark. Not a body, just a sound, not really there.

To make us jump. To make us afraid. They want us afraid.

They can't have us.

They're not real.

[ Someone is rather calm ]

Uh... Are you okay?

[Yes, she sounded calm, but...]

We're trapped. Trapped isn't okay.

Where are you? I can come and get you.

I'm Dr. Beckett.

Don't need to.

[ You said a bad word, Carson ]

You're not them but it's not okay.

Them? [His tone is a bit concerned]

They come for you, take you away.

You can't return.

They're not here, just echoes. But I remember.

Well, I promise that I won't take you anywhere you don't want to go.

Everyone's meeting at the Ballroom, and if you're trapped, I can come and take you there.

[His scottish accented voice is in calming tones]

[ Oh no, she doesn't sound okay at all! She'll help! ]

BOO!

Not afraid. It can't come.

Not going. Not necessary.

It was just a joke stupid!
You sound so uptig)(t. 38\

Not a good one.

Okay, well, that's fine.

...Do you need me to bring you anything?

It brings itself.

[Pinged so hard by "not real."]

The Castle isn't real.

It's solid. It makes people believe.

Something being solid or non-solid doesn't prove reality.

Didn't say prove.

They want to think it's real, gives hope. You can't escape what doesn't exist.

You can try.

And fail. It can change.

[With a sudden firmness:] I won't fail.

Take us all.

A-Aye, that's a fair point...

My offer still stands, though. If you need anything, anything at all, give me a wee shout, okay?

If I can find a way, I will, but I. won't. fail.

You won't.
