They discovered Andrew Scott in an online video that describes symbols that Shelby drew earlier.

Andrew takes them into a room that’s filled with the symbol, the All-Seeing Eye, that Shelby drew. Andrew tells them he believes there was a device that originated from Egypt that could transfer a soul from body to body. Johnny-Mason demands to see the device and asks if it can work in reverse, could it return Shelby, Mason, and Ronald to their original bodies. Andrew has no idea where the device, how to find it, nor if it works in reverse. However, Andrew suggests that there is a mysterious building nearby that has the symbol on it that Shelby was drawing. Could that building hold the answer to all of their questions? Time is running out.
