:53:00
Self-doubt grew
into paranoia.
:53:02
And in his delusions,
:53:04
he elevated the Engineer into a figure
of almost supernatural power.
:53:08
He said the Engineer knew everything
about every cop on the force,
:53:12
especially him.
:53:14
His anxiety rapidly shifted
into a deep depression...
:53:19
till one day he came to work,
sat down behind his desk...
:53:24
and shot himself
in the head.
:53:29
What do you see there?
:53:32
The detective had it with him
when he shot himself.
:53:35
I must admit that I was intrigued
enough to actually go and look for it,
:53:39
but when I checked
the evidence archives,
:53:41
it was gone.
:53:44
So it's probably either lost
or destroyed by now.
:53:46
All that's left of it
is the picture.
:53:57
What is it?
:53:59
You couldn't get it out of your head.
I think you know.
:54:05
You're right.
I did some research.
:54:09
It's called
the Lament Configuration.
:54:13
It appears in occult literature here
and there throughout the centuries.
:54:16
What do they say about it?
:54:18
They say it's a window
or a gateway.
:54:22
You open it,
:54:24
they come for you
and they tear you apart.
:54:30
"They"?
:54:31
Some call them Cenobites. Others call
them demons and say they take you to hell.
:54:36
Well, they didn't
take me to hell.
:54:41
- You opened the box?
- Yeah, last night.
:54:46
I had some... nightmare,
:54:49
and...
:54:51
ever since then,
:54:53
I've been seeing...
:54:56
them.
