Daria at least sees that the file uploaded is titled. "The Space Between - Final Cut".

Groaning a shaking unsteadily, Amanda forces herself up from the floor. She wraps one arm around her own chest and slowly tries to breathe. She notices Daria staring at the monitor and leans on the computer desk for stability. "That...doesn't look....good.." She manages between shallow breaths and puts her fingers to the keyboard...

"I don't get any of this," Daria comments, then realises Amanda may not understand. "I mean everything, not this computer thing. I thought I was tripping, but then, I dunno, you appeared out of nowhere. Where we really in that frame."
She looks at the scraps of film scattered from when she cut them off.
"Can you figure out what this download is? We need to get a grip on this, because no one is going to believe we just left Woodward and his not girlfriend to die with some witch inside a film frame. Then there is all the drugs out there. Oh crap!"

Amanda is able to identify that a secure upload was made to the servers located at the Church headquarters.
She is also able to find a document of Jared’s notes on the film. The notes are badly organized and disjointed, making it difficult to read and understand.

"Here.." Amanda says in frustration and moves aside to let Daria have a better look. "I can't make heads or tails of this mess. Maybe you'll have better luck at it?"

Daria starts scrolling thru the document, trying to make sense of it. Slowly she begins to see where the separate threads are, and pulls out the key points, making a narrative out of the jumble of seeming nonsense.

Nice!Steele (Craig Steele a former actor and leader of the church) found the coup d'état, a literal state of Emptiness. Not metaphorical or metaphysical but a practical emptiness. To reach it one just needs to have everything emptied "into" what he calls the Hungry Void (footnote: Yvette Sommers- You are unable to find the foot note).
My magnum opus will be to bring this emptiness to all who witness. The Space Between will be the catalyst to create a true change in this world. No more fighting, no more hunger, no more worries… only peace in the void.
I can’t just show them Yvette. It’s like a frog in a frying pan. She scares people. She scared me. I need to reveal her slowly. Perhaps, the ritual Steele developed. It’s not as elegant as Yvette… but it would highlight all the failings of humanity in our brutality.
Verity agreed. We will do it tonight. It’s a shame she couldn’t meet Yvette. I have to admit I am nervous and excited. I haven’t felt like this since… well since being immersed in Kubrick’s work. Maybe some day someone will say that about mine…
It worked. She is here. She watches me always. I can’t sleep. If I stop she will be there to take it all away. I feel like a fool. I longed for this and now at the edge I can’t bear to take the last step. Oh God… what have I done?

That kinda explains what happened to Woodward. We still don't know what he uploaded to the Church's servers, so need to get there to find that out."Okay, this is really messed up stuff. Not sure if he was off his tits on that coke, or if this is all real. I mean, it must be real yeah. We were there in that..." she points at the scraps of film. "Weren't we?
She stares at Amanda, her face full of confusion.
What the, I have no idea. Listen, we have to get outta here, wait, crap! That doorman! He knows we were here. If the cops come asking questions...listen, c'mon, we gotta find the others. Find Shull and get him to fix this." She slides her phone out and snaps several pictures of the document, and then of the room, avoiding catching herself or Amanda in any of the shots.

Amanda is constantly shaking her head slowly to all of Daria's questions. "I don't know, Daria. I don't know what's real and what's some bizarre residual contact high off all the drugs in this suite." She checks her pistol to see if it is minus a bullet.

"Ok, let's just get outta here. Must be a back stairs or something," Daria looks around as they exit the apartment, trying to spot any sign of Julia or Woodward. She wonders if maybe they are there somewhere, in another room, laughing at them as she and Amanda make fools of themselves.
She glances out the apartment's spyhole, then quietly opens the door checking the outside corridor is empty.
"You ready Amanda?"

Amanda swallow hard when she discovers that apparently her shot at the tentacle woman in the drug-induced horror was real. She looks quickly around to see if she notices any obvious bulletholes in the walls of the room, then nods to Daria. "Yeah. Let's get out of this place. I don't know what we just experienced, but I don't think its something that the intended public should ever see."
