Devil's Punchbowl: Aftermath (2025)

Post by bunniefuu »

(air whooshing)

(light upbeat music)

Clock strikes 12

She's all alone

In the shop of vinyl gold

Fingers trace the midnight air

The shadow stands without a care

Echoes whisper in the night

Every note, a ghostly fright

Lock the door, it's time to close

Lonely keys the silence knows

Midnight melody will play

Lonely girl has lost her way

Ghostly tune, a deadly key

In this darkened melody

Footsteps near

She feels a chill

Spine is tingling with a thrill

Eyes peering through

the old cracked glass

Her heart beats fast with every pass

Midnight melody will play

Lonely Girl has lost her way

Ghostly tune, a deadly key

In this darkened melody

(door squeaking)

(bell ringing)

(ominous music)

Hi.

We're actually closed right now,

I just forgot to lock the door.

(light tense music)

Did you hear me?

I said that we're closed.

Look, if you're gonna

insist on making me wait,

maybe you could go a bit faster?

Or maybe tell me what you're looking for,

because we might not even have it.

Yeah, those are really old.

We'll probably end up throwing them away.

Or not.

But just be careful with

that table, it's a bit dodgy.

(item clanging)

(hand slamming)

Look, I don't know what

the hell is wrong with you,

but if you don't leave now,

I'm calling the police.

They've been driving up and down all night

and they'll be here any second.

So are you gonna leave now

or are you gonna make this difficult?

In this darkened melody

(eerie upbeat music)

Footsteps near, she feels chill

Spine is tingling with the thrill

Eyes peering through

the old cracked glass

(horn honking)

Her heart beats fast with every pass

(horn honking)

Music stops

(horn honking)

Sweat drops down with no applause

(blood sloshing)

Get grip the counter, hold on tight

Facing out into the night

(distant group chattering)

I'm sorry.

I should have listened to

you from the beginning.

No one would've believed it.

Charley was really good

at tricking people into

thinking he was a good guy.

It's not good enough.

There were signs and I ignored them.

And now I've gotta pay the price for it.

What do you mean pay the price?

(door squeaking)

Dale's in the hospital getting stitches.

He'll be all right.

And some good news about Thomas as well.

It looks like he's gonna

make a full recovery

from his injuries.

That's excellent.

Right.

What we need to do now is take statements

and then I can be processed as well,

as I was just saying to Emily.

What you mean being processed?

Emily, I broke into Charley's

house without a warrant

and I had in my possession

an ill*gal firearm.

It wouldn't take much for a judge

to find out what my intentions were.

That man was a m*rder*r.

There's no way you're

going to prison for that.

That's not how the law works.

I took the matter into my own hands

and Charley's got a b*llet in his chest.

I'm not coming back from this.

At best, I lose my job

and have two years inside.

We might be able to fight

it and get it reduced,

but either way,

you won't be seeing me for a while.

No.

Charley massacred a family.

He has bodies buried in his garden.

He tried to k*ll me.

Do something.

It doesn't have to be this way, Keith.

Yes it does.

I need to face up to the

consequences of my actions.

Not if Charley was the one with the g*n.

There was a struggle between you and him

and he got shot in the process.

I don't like where this

is going, Cartwright.

Think about it, Keith.

That g*n was unregistered.

It's the exact kind of weapon

that any m*rder*r would have

laying around the house anyway.

And us three were the

only ones who were there.

So as long as our statements

match, no one's gonna know.

Police corruption, we're talking about.

Falsifying evidence.

Perverting the course of justice.

Charley's a m*rder*r.

You are not going to prison for him.

Look, even if I agree

to this, it's too late.

Did you see what Charley had on his hands,

those big gardening gloves?

He wouldn't have been able to use the g*n.

He would've had to take the glove off

and then he would've left

fingerprints all over it.

That's why before

they took his body away,

I made sure that Charley's

prints were all over that g*n.

Okay.

Okay.

Well, look, if we're gonna do this,

we need to make sure we don't

give out any information.

Nothing.

Not until all our statements

are fully aligned.

And there's one other person

that's got to agree to this.

(light tense music)

(light tense music continues)

(Dale grunting)

[Dale] Oh, which way

is the coffee machine?

Thank you.

(Dale wincing)

(cupboard door opening)

(tape ripping)

It could have been a lot

worse, all things considered.

Coroners have the body,

all the evidence from the

scene's been collected

and Charley's house has been cornered off

until we know more about what happened.

I think we should be

taking statements tomorrow.

If that's all right with you.

Are you all right driving,

or do you need someone to take you home?

Yeah, I'm fine, but can

you take Emily home for me?

Wait, where are you going?

I need to speak to Mr. Bradley.

You all right for a lift, Cartwright?

(upbeat music)

Dark night

A silent street

Blood hounds

Can't retreat

Long wait

10 years gone

Repent now (Ah)

Move on

(feet scuffing)

Empty eyes

Void of light

k*ller's hand

Here tonight

Broken dreams

Left behind

Repent your sins

(radio switch clicking)

(coins jangling)

Oh.

Did they tip?

Of course they tipped.

But you were late though.

Well, yeah, but what I

lack in time management,

I more than make up for

in charm and charisma.

You've been flirting

with the customers again,

haven't you?

How old was this one?

Look, I offer nothing

but a professional service.

And that's pizza delivery service,

before you start getting any pervy ideas.

Yeah, but how old were they though?

I mean, 20, 25,

I reckon about 84.

Oh gross, mate, have you no shame?

What do you mean, have I no shame.

(rock music)

Hey, if you had half of the

drive and ambition that I have,

you'd be doing anything that you could

to get out of this utter hell hole.

Hell hole?

(gasping) Emily.

Oh, sorry, didn't see you there.

How are you?

Yeah, sorry.

We've got nothing in the

cupboards at my house

and I haven't eaten all day.

But if you're gonna close, I can just go.

Oh, no, that's all right.

You can have a slice on me.

Well, not on me.

You know the cheese would hurt.

Anyway, your dad normally

comes in around this time.

I'm surprised he's not with you actually.

Yeah, I mean, we've both had a long day.

I wouldn't be surprised if

he's not that far behind me

to be honest.

Well, I've got as usual in the oven.

Maybe you can have a slice of that

and take the rest with you home?

[Emily] Yeah.

Emily, are you all right?

You don't seem your usual zany self.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm think I'm just tired.

You sure?

Alright.

Hey, good news.

You know that story that I

wrote about, two months ago?

- Yeah.

- About the ladies cosmetics

being found in dog food.

Well, it was picked up by the

National News Service, right?

And they gave me a ring about two days ago

and offered me an interview

for a part-time position.

How good's that?

Wow.

So I guess you won't have to

work here much longer then.

Not much longer.

I mean, it's part-time, right?

So I'll commute.

But then part-time leads to full-time.

Full-time leads to junior writer.

Junior writer leads to

senior writer, I'd imagine.

Can I ask why you

don't like working here?

You can ask why I

don't like working here.

Why don't you like working here?

I'll tell you.

Between you and me,

this place is a bit sh*t, isn't it?

You know, just a little bit like,

not much happens.

Hardly the place

for a young budding journalist

like myself to live, is it?

(fist tapping)

You are an amateur at best.

f*ck off, Dom.

Mouthy git.

Anyway, pizzas.

That's my job.

I do the pizzas.

I'll go get pizzas.

Pizzas.

Any sauce?

Red, brown, white, yellow?

No yellow.

We've got f*ck all mustard.

(hands brushing)

(box rustling)

See you later.

(ominous music)

(tense music)

Hello, is anyone in?

You know your front door

is wide open, right?

And there's a k*ller on the loose.

Not anymore, that's all over now.

Is this something to do with

all the commotion going on?

I mean, I've just come from town

and there are ambulances and

police sirens everywhere.

Look, I can't say

anything about it just yet.

Please, I can't sleep as it is,

knowing that there's a k*ller

wandering around the neighborhood.

Forget about it, it's over now.

Nobody's going to k*ll you.

I bet it was that guy

in the RV after all.

I mean, that's what I keep hearing.

It's lucky I kept out of it,

or otherwise I could have

been his next victim.

I mean, people are gonna go mad about this

when they find out.

Just please don't spread rumors.

Okay then fine.

Just tell me what happened.

Okay, but you can't tell

anyone until I say you can.

(tense music)

(Emily indistinctly chattering)

(both indistinctly chattering)

Charley?

I mean Charley?

To you think he's been k*lling

people all these years.

I mean, he could have k*lled anyone.

He could have k*lled me.

Please promise me you

won't say anything to anyone.

You'll be like famous

when this gets out.

No, I don't want any of that.

I just wanna forget about it.

But I guess that's impossible right now.

(light tense music)

[Cartwright] Oh, I am glad

Charley came in so easy.

10 more minutes in this

place would've been closed.

Well that tends to be the

case when the perpetrator

has a knife and b*llet in their chest.

Usually makes the arrest

go a little bit easier.

Paperwork starts tomorrow.

Oh, don't remind me.

I'm still trying to get my head around

how we're gonna sort this out.

I wouldn't think about it too much.

k*ller's gone.

No one's gonna question

the moral proceedings

before his death.

Even so,

even if this all goes to plan,

I'm still thinking about

and am I noticing in Spring?

What will you do?

I could get a job as a security guard.

Spend more time at home.

A few holidays maybe.

I still think the community

will be coming to you for help.

It's been that way for so long.

It's just what we're used to.

10 years, that sick b*stard

was right under my nose.

He fooled everyone.

Not just you.

But the Wilkinson family murders,

that was my investigation.

How could I get it so wrong?

That little kid, he escaped,

and the first thing I do when

he comes back is accuse him.

What does that do to a person?

I mean, you were right.

He did come into town to k*ll someone.

It just wasn't who we expected.

I think you're right.

I might be to blame and I accept that.

But that doubt is no good.

He's dangerous.

I don't want him anywhere near Emily.

In fact, when this is

all over and done with,

he can go back to where he came from.

(birds chirping)

(phone vibrating)

(phone vibrating continues)

Yeah?

Oh good, you're up.

I'm not likely to sleep

much after last night, am I?

No, I suppose not.

I had to head out earlier

with Cartwright this morning.

Look, I know we're up against it,

but I just wanted to check

to make sure you're okay.

All things considered.

Yeah, I'll be okay.

I'm just glad it's all over.

Well good.

Look, we're going up to

the hospital in a bit

and hopefully get this

statement sorted out with Dale.

And then I'll send a car

round to pick you up,

bring you down to the station.

We'll get yours done as well.

[Emily] Something tells me

Dale won't be at the hospital.

Hang on dad, I'll call you back.

Oh.

Amanda, did you see

the way that guy in a hospital gown went?

Yeah, is that the guy you

were talking about last night?

[Emily] No, this is important.

I need to know which way he went.

- You went that way.

- Thanks, bye.

(birds chirping)

(footsteps crunching)

Oi.

Oi, where are you going?

You need to get back to the hospital.

Don't walk away from me.

You need to give your statement.

I'm going back to where I came from.

You can't just run away.

There's gonna be questions

and police reports.

If you just run, everyone will

look guilty, including you.

They never found me

for the first 10 years,

so I think I'll be all right.

Get back to the hospital now.

I'm being serious, you have to go.

(wind blowing)

Seriously, you didn't think

to change your clothes

before you left the hospital?

Please get out of my way.

No, we're gonna go to the police station

because you caused a

lot of this, remember?

I kept myself to myself.

It was you that got in

the way and you still are.

Please.

(metal clunking)

What have you done?

Well, you gave me no other choice.

Where are the keys?

They're at my dad's.

So if you want us to get out of this,

we're going to have to see him.

What the hell?

You can't just pick people up.

You made the decision, not me.

You need to put me down immediately.

I've got a 20 mile walk ahead of me.

It would help if you

didn't talk the whole way.

(footsteps crunching)

We've got a problem.

Another one?

I'll add it to the list.

Emily's not answering

the phone right now,

but she said that Dale's

left the hospital.

Just been on the phone to the nurse,

they can't find him anywhere.

Well he can't have gone far.

He's got stitches.

And his RV's been impounded.

We need his statement

or the whole thing is gonna fall apart.

We can delay the statement.

Say it's due to shock, injury, stress.

I think probably got about

48 hours to avoid suspicion.

Look at me.

I've spent my whole life

doing everything by the book.

And I make one mistake

and then I'm breaking the

law left, right and center.

Who knows what would've happened

if you didn't do what you did?

The system's not designed

for situations like this.

Did you break the law?

Yeah.

Did you do the right thing?

Yeah.

(birds chirping)

(body dragging)

[Emily] Stop.

Ugh.

You're very stubborn, aren't you?

You know we can take these

handcuffs off at any time

if we just turn back.

No chance.

I've done what I wanted to

do and now I'm going home.

But your home is back that way.

It used to be and

maybe it still would be

if your dad did his job properly.

You act like you know him but you don't.

You don't remember do you?

I met you and your dad quite a

few times when I was younger.

Remind me.

He used to brag about

how he worked in the city,

claiming that he was overqualified

for this job or something.

Is that why you won't give a statement,

because you think he's

got some sort of ego?

He's only interested

when it involves him.

Why do you think he didn't

believe you about Charley?

He made a mistake.

Yeah, and now he's gonna pay for it.

I need a rest.

A rest?

You haven't walked anywhere.

I need a rest because believe it or not,

being dragged and carried

everywhere is exhausting.

You're just trying to delay me

so that your dad catches up to us.

Does it look like I've been leaving

a trail of breadcrumbs?

Five minutes.

(door opening and closing)

If you are looking for

Emily, she's not here.

I can see that.

What are you doing here?

Front door was left open.

Oh, of course.

Clearly it's an open invitation

for you just to walk in

and look at police documents.

To think it was Charley all this time.

I mean I literally could have

been k*lled at any moment.

It's terrifying to think about actually.

Can you tell me how you know

about this information already?

Emily told me last night.

Enough to know that you two

never believed her from the beginning

and that you only showed up last minute

because you decided to listen

to a stranger over her.

I really do hope that you have a point

in telling me all this.

Or are you just trying

to piss me off today?

Well, I did see which way she went

with that Dale guy from the hospital.

If that's who you're looking for.

Maybe, next time,

lead in with that sort

of information, yes?

Now where'd they go?

Alright, what's with the attitude?

I'm sorry, I'm a little

bit stressed at the moment.

Can you just tell me where they are?

It'd be a great help.

She followed him to the end of the road,

then jumped the fence into the

old dirt track heading north.

I'll just wait here

then till she gets back.

[Cartwright] Looks like

we're on foot from here.

I just hope they've kept to the path.

Otherwise we've got no chance

of finding them in time.

There's a car up there.

Looks like the engine's still running.

Maybe we can see if they've seen anything.

(doors opening)

(tense music)

(door opening)

sh*t.

Looks like Charley's

claimed another victim.

It's Vernon.

Who is it?

[Keith] Vernon.

What, the traveler

guy who Dale lived with?

I thought he was still at the station.

No, we let him go after

we went to Charley's.

[Cartwright] Do you

mind if I have a look?

By all means Cartwright.

I'm not charging an admission.

[Cartwright] Keith,

this body's still warm.

It must have happened

in the last 12 hours.

It can't be.

Well think about the timing.

We went straight to Charley's house.

At what possible moment

could Charley have done this?

Are you suggesting that

I shot the wrong person?

No, no.

He admitted everything to Emily.

He's either innocent

with a death wish, or...

He's not working alone.

We haven't got time for this.

Get onto the station.

Get 'em down there straight away.

Christ.

We need to get going.

I am not doing this in uniform.

No way.

I might have some

spare clothes in my car.

(trunk opening)

Bloody hell Cartwright.

When this is over with,

we need to talk about your fashion sense.

I've also got these two items,

which you will be pleased to know

you don't actually need a license for.

[Keith] You seem very calm

about all this, Cartwright.

[Cartwright] How so?

Well, I've seen the

g*ns, violence, deaths,

back in the city, but as

far as I can remember,

the most horrific thing

you've had to deal with

was when dying dog bit the postman.

That was quite serious.

Marcus nearly lost his leg.

Although that was mostly due to infection.

Exactly.

I mean, how are you dealing with this?

Is this what you thought

when you signed up?

I know it's not what I

thought the job would be.

I thought it'd be all plain sailing,

a comfy little job,

where I can just give out justice

to people that are mostly law abiding.

[Cartwright] Guess I've

never really cared too much

about the outcome, I've just

taken each day as it comes

and deal with whatever it throws at me.

[Keith] So no plans then?

Wife, kids, mortgage?

Maybe originally.

But when none of those things worked out,

I just inevitably gave up.

I guess you just tend to care less

and less about these

things as you get older.

I suppose that's why I'm not really too

worried about any of this.

I just try to live each day the best I can

and not really stick to any sort of plan.

Bloody hell, Cartwright.

Is that what it's like

for youngsters nowadays?

Can't speak for everyone but

that's what it's like for me.

Well one day you'll get a purpose.

And when you do, well,

don't make the same mistakes that I made.

Don't obsess over it.

And ignore everything else.

Blood hell.

See Terry's not keeping

an eye on the place.

[Cartwright] Do you think

this has something to do

with the k*ller?

No, you know as well as I do,

it's just kids.

They get bored, they come

up here, they like fires.

Especially this time of year.

God.

Look at the state of it.

(light somber music)

Well there you go, Cartwright.

The canyon that gave this town its name.

They can't have gone down there surely.

No.

The pathway goes all the way around.

I was hoping to see them from here.

Wait a minute, I'll

tell you what I can see.

So there you are.

What?

What, I didn't say anything.

What did I tell you last time Marcus?

I dunno.

Something about the post.

Maybe, probably.

What's going on?

Our beloved postman here,

despite the many warnings

that I've given him about eavesdropping

and spreading rumors,

has continued to give out

confidential information

that he's gained from delivering the mail

at the station.

I wasn't listening.

I just so happened to

hear what was going on.

All right.

I didn't tell anyone anything.

Oh, really?

So you didn't tell Diana about the body

we found in the woods?

Alright look, maybe I said something

about a body in the woods,

but I didn't mention any specifics.

My Emily put herself in danger

'cause she went looking for the k*ller.

And the reason she went

looking for the k*ller

was because Diana told her

about the body in the woods.

And Diana got that information from you.

So as far as I'm concerned,

my daughter almost died because of you.

Okay look, I'm sorry.

All right, I didn't mean

anything by it really.

I didn't mean anything by it.

I just got bored.

All right, some people only speak to me

'cause they need something for me,

or they need a reason to speak to me.

Is everything okay?

No?

Well that depends on

your definition of okay.

Things could have gone much worse, yes.

But if they did, I'd be

holding you responsible.

Okay, just to be clear,

you're not gonna bash my head in right now

or anything are you?

Bash your head in?

What are you talking about?

Okay, well one of

you's holding a crowbar

and the other one's holding a wrench.

Oh, yeah, these aren't for you.

So, this whole thing...

Serious?

Nice try, but we're

not likely to give you

any more information, are we?

Okay, right, fair enough.

You know I was only wondering

'cause I did see Emily earlier.

Emily?

Where and when?

I saw Emily about 30 minutes ago,

walking up with some guy

towards Highcombe Edge.

Are these your car keys?

Yeah, those are my keys.

Great.

f*ck me, I guess.

Scare me sh*t less and take my car keys.

(heavy rock music)

Escaping devils punchbowl now

[Keith] On second thoughts

Cartwright, I'm gonna drive.

I don't want you damaging his daddy's car.

(engine revving)

(heavy rock music continues)

Shadows where

An endless fall

(heavy rock music continues)

Going through the canyon, go

Whispers things nobody knows

Slowly searching through the haze

m*rder*r is (indistinct)

Two hearts beating in the dark

Lost dear, a twisted heart

Devils punchbowl holds you tight

(music fading)

Right, you've got one more minute

and then I keep walking,

so you better hurry up and do

whatever your master plan is

to stop me leaving.

Oh, I've got it all sorted out.

So you better do what I say now,

rather than wait till later

when you'll regret it.

I'll take my chances.

Okay.

But it'll happen when you least expect it.

You'll be thinking you are

in the clear and then bang.

(Dale groaning)

Oh crap, are you okay?

You just pulled out some of my stitches.

That was all.

Was that the plan, was it?

No, it wasn't.

I mean by all things considered,

I do think you need to see a doctor.

I mean you're bleeding.

Well, two injuries in the same day

will do that to a person.

Two?

Yeah, you did push me

over as well, remember?

Hasn't exactly helped.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I was doubting myself at the big house.

Yeah.

You know, you could have told me.

I wouldn't have said anything to anyone.

Just seemed easier not to at the time.

Did you mean to k*ll him?

Or was there any other

reason why you did it?

What other reason would there be?

Hey.

- No.

- What do you mean no?

I haven't said anything.

When you come at me with the hey,

it's usually because you

wanna be in the news.

And the answer today

is as it was last week.

No.

Oh, but you don't understand.

This is like different, this

is like front page news.

Did you hear about what

happened last night?

No.

I heard that there were ambulances

and police going up to the hospital,

but you look fine.

So I don't see how it

relates to you at all.

It was Charley.

Charley?

Charley who?

Charley, the gardener?

Yeah.

He's dead.

And it turns out he's been

k*lling people all these years

and disposing their bodies.

Bullshit.

If that was the case, I

would've heard about it by now.

Well that's the thing, nobody knows,

'cause the police haven't

released information yet.

I mean just think about it.

I literally could have

been k*lled at any moment.

I only live like seven

streets away from him.

That's surely worth

something writing about?

Do you have any like evidence?

Any videos, pictures,

anything that could back

up what you're saying?

'Cause if I make a story about this

and it turns out to be

bullshit, I could lose my job.

Well Emily told me all of this.

And her dad didn't deny when I asked.

So what does that tell you?

Okay, well I'll write all of it

and then right at the bottom I'll say,

also, Keith didn't deny it, so it's true.

Oh, come on.

Let's just go to Charley's and you'll see.

But if it's true, you have to

write about me in the news.

Right, fine.

- Okay.

- Fine.

Gimme an hour and meet me

around the back of Pizza Zone.

Okay, great.

(upbeat rock music)

Whispers tell a twisted tale

In shadows where secrets sail

A k*ller lost

(device beeping)

A k*ller found

Footsteps echo fear on the ground

In the dark the truth's unclear

One is gone but dangers near

Rumors spread like wild fire light

(flames igniting)

(device beeping repeatedly)

m*rder, k*ller, haunting dreams

Silence screams

Or so it seams

One fell down for someone new

A new hunter prowls the night

m*rder, k*ller, haunting dreams

Silence screams

Or so it seams

One fell down for someone new

Who's next in this ghastly view

Ah, right.

Wait, you work for the pizza delivery?

Yeah.

You've seen how much they

pay me to write, haven't you?

I have to make up the bills somehow.

Anyway, jump in.

(lock clunking)

(keys jangling)

Oh wait, I'm not getting in that.

What's wrong with it?

Well firstly it stands out quite a bit.

It's gonna be really hard

to get into Charley's

without turning up in this piece of junk.

Hey, I'll let you know

that that piece of junk

has got me in loads of different places.

No one ever asks questions

when you're delivering pizzas.

But if you don't like

it, you can just walk,

you know, out there with a k*ller.

All right, all right, fine.

Just make sure there's

no photos of me in it.

All right?

I'll be sure of that, don't worry.

I am halfway through a shift though,

so you may need to jump out

and deliver a couple of pizzas.

But I'll be sure

no cameras.

- Okay, let's just get

to Charley's.

- Nothing at all.

I'll alert TMZ, Penthouse forum as well,

might wanna do a piece on it.

I don't know, depends really.

The hunted now becomes the hunt

Truth revealed in every front

Mystery in every breath

Teetering on life and death

m*rder, k*ller, haunting dreams

Silence screams, or so it seems

One fell down, for someone new

Who's next in this ghastly view

Can you move over a bit, I

need to get a better angle.

What are you doing?

Trying to get a good photo.

Photo, why?

I dunno, for evidence.

You can use it in the paper.

Yeah, great evidence.

Look, it's the back of a house.

(camera shuttering)

There's some police cordon tape over there

and that's about it.

Are you really sure this is as serious

as you were telling me?

Yes, he's a m*rder*r.

Of course it's serious.

Look, if the police thought

that Charley was k*lling people,

then this place would be full of police,

forensics, detectives,

journalists, the lot.

I don't know then,

maybe like they delayed looking into it

for some reason.

That's unlikely.

The second that they gave statements,

they'd be down here

with the forensics team

stripping this place down to the bone.

Emily said she hadn't

given her statement yet.

So...

And all that would mean

is that forensics haven't arrived yet.

Oh, okay.

So if forensics haven't arrived yet,

that means we can be the first

ones to have a look around.

- No.

- Come on, let's go.

No, that would be a felony.

I'm not...

Look...

- Yeah, come on, look.

This could be really,

really good evidence.

[Emily] Stop, we need to stop.

What now?

I need a wee.

Go on then.

I'm not doing it here

in front of you, am I?

Well, you should have thought about that

before you handcuffed yourself to me.

I'm also hungry.

Of I remember rightly, there's

a diner in that direction.

So we should just go there.

What, so you can phone your dad?

I don't think so.

We have another 16 miles

to walk in the countryside.

We're not gonna get another

chance to stop after this.

And my best guess is that

you're gonna collapse

and then I'll still be attached to you,

until we're both found or dead.

Alright, we'll go to the diner.

But if you say anything

and the police show up,

I'm gonna give them a true statement

and your dad's gonna go to prison.

We'll be fine as long as you

don't draw attention to us.

Ugh, I need a wee.

Move.

(Emily screaming)

(chilled music)

How can I help?

Can I have a burger and chips please?

Your friend want anything?

Do you want anything?

Emily?

Oh, hi Kate.

What's up?

Ah, the usual.

Late nights, long shifts.

How about you, anything

interesting going on?

No, not really.

Yeah, just a bottle of

water and some chips.

Where were you keeping that?

Don't ask.

Found anything newsworthy yet?

No.

No body parts, no blades,

medieval t*rture devices.

Nothing.

Not even a speeding ticket

by the look of this filing cabinet.

Can't you find anything to write about,

that would also include me?

I can't just make stuff up, you know.

News do it all the time.

Just write something so big and outrageous

that by the time it comes out

nobody will know about it.

Look, I've got a reputation

to uphold, you know.

The only reputation you

have is for late deliveries.

Yeah, now that's the case.

Thanks to all this serial k*ller stuff.

Anyway, how did you

say Charley died again?

I didn't, Emily didn't

mention that part.

Right, well in future,

can you just make sure you've

all your facts straight

before bringing it to me,

because not only is Charley

not a serial k*ller,

he's also the most boring man

on the face of the planet.

I mean the guy literally keeps receipts

for stationary that he

bought seven years ago.

I mean, who does that?

Does this mean I won't be in the news?

The only way I or anyone else

would believe that

Charley was k*lling people

is if he bored them to death.

So no, your odds aren't looking good.

Some of these receipts

are from the pizza place.

Yeah, he's not the

only guy to order pizza.

I used to, you know, deliver here.

He was a good tipper actually.

That's a shame, he's dead now.

The address is for the Lodge Hotel.

Yes, because sometimes

I'll deliver pizzas here

and then I'll deliver pizzas to him

when he was staying at the hotel.

What reason would he have

for being at the hotel?

It's not that far from here.

I don't-

Is it?

Look, I see where this is

going and I don't have time.

There's nothing here, it's not happening.

I need to go, I need to deliver pizzas.

Come on.

We have to go and have a look.

I saw Keith's face when I

mentioned Charley's name.

There's definitely truth in it.

And if you wanna write the truth

then I think that's where we should go.

I really...

Come on, you know it, you know it.

Fine, fine.

Look, we'll go there and when

we definitely see nothing,

you have to drop it.

I'll drop you home and we...

That's it., yeah.

- Come on, let's go.

(phone vibrating)

[Keith] Hello?

[Kate] Hi, is this Keith?

Yes, who's talking?

It's Kate from the diner.

Hi Kate.

Look, I'm not on duty at the moment,

so if you give the station a call,

there'll be someone

there that can help you.

Can you stop talking,

'cause I really don't

care and you're boring me.

Emily wrote a note on my

menu to call you down here.

[Keith] Where is she though?

Here obviously.

How do you think I got

the note to call you?

[Keith] Can I speak to her?

Well she's talking to

someone else at the moment,

so I dunno, just come down

here and talk through yourself.

Listen, Kate, if they've

gone by the time I get there,

can you try and find

out where they've gone?

If you can.

(phone clunking)

Personal call?

Nope, just telling

Keith that Emily's here.

Right, sounds like

a personal call to me.

Isn't she your friend?

I work here 45 hours a week,

I don't have time for friends.

You were late this morning.

Now I don't want to deduct

any more time off your break,

so just please make sure

this doesn't happen again.

(engine revving)

(light chilled music)

Are we just gonna sit here in silence?

You could at least thank me

for everything I've done.

Like what?

That got your attention.

So now you've managed to

string two syllables together,

maybe you could tell me

what you plan on doing

when you get back to

your camp or whatever.

Exactly what I was

doing before I came here.

What with?

You don't even have your RV anymore.

What's there left for you to go back to?

I know people, I'll be all right.

It must be weird though,

living off the grid,

going from place to place.

No, I spend my days working

on an RV, sunrise to sunset.

It's actually quite peaceful.

Are they're not things you miss?

Like what?

Does it not get lonely?

It beats sitting here talking to you.

Ah, evening Mitch,

what can I get for you?

Steak and fried egg please, Simon.

You been busy?

Ah, steady as usual.

We normally get a bit of a

dip around this time of year,

but it always comes back in the spring.

It's a bit late for trick

or treating, isn't it?

I mean, correct me if I'm wrong,

it's not any houses around

there for a good few miles.

I'm not really sure

what's going on over there to be honest.

There's a police officer

on his way in a minute,

so he'll probably sort it out.

Yeah.

(light bright music)

We need to go in a minute.

No, I'm not gonna go out there

when it's gonna turn pitch

black in like 10 minutes.

You wanted to stop here?

I wanted to keep going, so it's tough.

No, no way.

I'm not gonna go wandering

into the dark forest,

handcuffed to a guy wearing

a bloodied bed sheet.

It's cute, you think you have a choice?

(footsteps rustling)

Sorry son, do you wanna

tell me where you're going?

Whilst I'm out, why don't

you tell me what you're doing

and why you have a young

girl handcuffed to you?

You've got it backwards, you moron.

Let me be clear, boy,

there's one person around

here who's got it backwards

and that's you.

Is he making you go with him?

Yeah, he made me walk through the woods.

And I just wanna go home to my dad.

Oh, is that right?

And how old are you sweetheart?

I'm 15.

Jesus.

She's not 15, she's 20.

Tell him the truth.

I just wanna go home.

Right, I'll tell you this one time,

step away from the girl.

Look we're leaving.

It's cute you think you have a choice.

(dramatic music)

(people scuffling)

(key clanging)

(dramatic music continues)

(chilled music)

Please tell me that they're still here.

You are 20 minutes too late.

Did they tell you where they're going?

Nope.

[Keith] I asked you to find out for me.

No, you said find out

if I can and I couldn't.

Why not?

Too busy.

Oh yeah, rushed off your feet.

Ah, Keith, what can I get for you?

Not now Simon.

I need to talk to Kate.

Ah, unfortunately

Kate's still on the clock.

She will be free in one hour.

And in the meantime,

Kate, I need you out back.

I can't see sh*t out

back, it is too dark.

You do it.

I'm the manager.

Exactly, so manage it.

Simon, this is official police business.

Whatever it is you need to deal with,

can you just go and deal with it yourself?

I really do need to speak to Kate.

Sorry Keith, but police

business doesn't pay the bills.

Fine, I'll have my usual

and you can piss off.

[Cartwright] I didn't

know you ate here too.

Only went I'm on a diet.

Kate, when Emily was here,

did she tell you anything?

No, afraid not.

Look you're doing this whole angry,

pissed off teenager routine

that hates the establishment

and that arse hole of a

manager that you work with

isn't helping things.

I just want your help with this.

I don't think she's angry, Keith.

I just don't think she gives a sh*t.

Look, the longer we leave this,

the more danger Emily is in.

Wait, she's in danger.

Why didn't you start with that?

She came in with a guy handcuffed

to her with blood on him.

Really?

You needed us to tell

you she was in danger

after what you saw?

I thought it was a Halloween costume.

He looked like he left

a hospital or something.

Well, at least we can

confirm that Emily's with Dale.

The question is why did he kidnap her

and where are they going?

I think he said something

about living off grid,

in a motor home or something.

(air swooshing)

(ominous music)

(hands brushing)

(knife stabbing)

(blood squelching)

[Dale] If I remember rightly,

the owners of this place

used to leave a spare key outside.

(keys jangling)

(door opening)

Get rid of that.

(cable ripping)

Well that was sensible, wasn't it?

We've got a k*ller chasing after us

and your first thought

is to cut the phone line.

I know what you are like.

As soon as I turn my back

you'll be on the phone to your dad.

This doesn't make any sense.

I mean we both obviously

know Charley's dead.

We saw it.

So who was chasing after us?

Well you do get copycat K*llers.

Yeah, I know.

But the news hasn't released

anything about Charley yet?

So maybe it was someone

who knew him personally.

Has he always lived alone?

Yeah, always.

I mean, no one ever saw him

with any friends or family.

He only ever went to charity

and community events.

I mean that's hardly the place to meet up

with like-minded K*llers.

Mm.

Sounds like a bit of a headache.

- Yeah.

- Good luck dealing with it

when I get these cuffs off.

You can't just take that.

Watch me.

(footsteps scuffing)

My dad's a police officer, you know.

Not for much longer

when all this gets out.

Oh, you're just a miserable,

lonely boy, aren't you?

Finally, you're

starting to understand me.

Have I done something?

Have I done something to you?

Because you seem to have

a problem with my dad.

I hope you realize that

this is gonna affect

more people than just him.

I'm just sticking to my plan.

A plan that will never change,

and yet I'm so stubborn.

Well maybe that's something

we do have in common.

Hah, maybe.

(liquid sloshing)

I knew you'd come around in the end.

No use in struggling.

So what's next?

Are we gonna stay hit till

sunrise and keep walking?

You got it.

And if I am gonna die,

you can be sure I'm gonna

make the most of it.

So you're only gonna make the most of it

if you think you're

gonna die, no other time?

Actually, you'd be

surprised how many evenings

I've spent in a bar like this.

Right, well, if we are gonna die,

I guess I should say

sorry about the handcuffs.

Well, worse things have happened.

Yeah, but you are gonna

spend your last evening

handcuffed to a person you hate.

You think I hate you?

Yeah, isn't it obvious?

Emily, you annoy me constantly.

You annoy me because

you're a constant reminder

of everything I want,

and everything I could never have.

Why do you say that?

I just wish the situation

was different, that's all.

Well maybe it could be,

if you stay.

(upbeat music)

Deep in the devil punchbowl night

Two lost souls

No end in sight

Echoes of the searchers call

Shadows where the memories fall

Cold wind through the canyon goes

Whispers things nobody knows

Police searching through the haze

m*rder in a twisted maze

Two hearts beating

In the dark

Lost in the twisted park

Devil's punchbowl hold it tight

Secrets hidden out of sight

(wind blowing)

(ominous music)

(wind blowing)

(object squeaking)

Who's that?

(object squeaking)

Kate?

Yeah, I get it.

Halloween prank.

Look, this is a place of business.

I don't appreciate my time being wasted.

(object clanging)

Look, I'm in charge here, okay?

I'm the manager of this place, right?

So I want whoever it is to leave right now

or you're gonna see a side of

me you really don't want to.

It's pointless us wandering

around at the moment.

It's too dark to see anything.

The good news is they seem

to be heading away from town,

so they're going away from danger.

Did you hear any more news about Vernon?

Forensics team arrived on site

about an hour after we left.

Everything's been cleared up now,

but obviously there is

a lot more paperwork

and we are running out of time.

There is some good news.

Got word that there's a traveler's site

about 15 miles from here.

So that's my best guess that

that's where Dale's heading.

I think what we need to do is tell 'em

that we left the scene of the crime

because we went in pursuit

of a potential k*ller.

Which is true.

So I don't have a problem with that.

I'll get a car in a minute and pick us up.

We can go back to the station.

And then I'll go up to the campsite

and I'll bring him back.

And then hopefully we get

this whole mess sorted out.

Is it me or has it just

gone really quiet in there?

(ominous music)

(hand smacking)

(body falling)

(dramatic music)

(objects clanging)

(knife clanging)

(people scuffling)

(dramatic music continues)

(people scuffling)

(knife scraping)

(Keith quietly groaning)

(ominous music)

Doesn't look like he

wanted to k*ll you Keith.

He was trying to drug you.

(Keith heavy breathing)

(light somber music)

(handcuffs clattering)

Sorry about that.

But I'm gonna go find my dad

and then we'll come back for you,

'cause we still need your statement.

You had the keys?

Yeah, you generally keep

them with the handcuffs.

Give them to me.

I don't think you're

really in a position

to be demanding things right now.

There's another k*ller out there

and you're gonna go

wandering around on your own?

Well, I found a key for a

hotel, so I'm gonna go there,

call my dad, we'll arrest the guy,

then I'll come back for you.

Was all of that just a lie then,

what you said before?

It's no good waiting for the police.

As I said before, by

the time they get here,

it'd be too late.

So you're going after him then?

I dunno what that sick b*stard is up to,

but it's too much of a coincidence.

I'm gonna go on by foot

and you stay here and wait

for the cars to turn up.

And then when they get here,

you send them out in all directions

and get them to patrol the area.

(light tense music)

(wind blowing)

What did you do?

You've already made up your own mind.

So there's no point in me saying anything.

Horse sh*t.

You took my daughter,

you tell me where she is.

I'm handcuffed to a bar.

Does it look like I'm

the one running the show?

If anything's happened

to my Emily, I swear...

You'll what?

You've already ruined my life twice.

So have at it.

Just tell me where she is.

Look, we've got a plan where

we all get out of this.

Including you.

You mean you get out of this.

You want me to write a statement.

A false statement.

It's best for everyone.

Where was all this 10 years ago?

Did you protect and serve?

Did you even try and find the k*ller?

I didn't have all the information.

You didn't have the information

because you didn't look

for the information.

You were convinced it was

someone just passing through

and if they're out of

your town, you don't care.

That's not true.

10 years and you did nothing.

What was I supposed to do?

Charley was a clever man.

He fooled everyone for years on end.

Now I'm sorry about what

happened to you as a kid, I am,

but you are making this situation

a whole lot worse than it should be.

Why don't you just help for a change?

Hmm?

Why would you want my help?

I'm no good, remember?

I need to stay away from

your daughter, remember?

I need to go back to where

I came from, remember?

We found Vernon's body.

I'm sorry.

(keys jangling)

I'm sorry I wasn't there for you.

(door opening)

(leaves rustling)

She went to The Lodge Hotel.

It's hard to find, but

if you've got a torch,

I can show you the way.

After that, I'm gone.

(tense rock music)

Well, at least they can't

say the pizzas were late.

Yeah, you'll have a reputation

for undelivered pizzas.

Well, they went to a

good cause, didn't they?

Are you sure you actually know the way?

(footsteps running)

It's just dark, isn't it?

It's just down there.

We'll get there.

(footsteps running)

Wait, who's that up ahead?

(door opening)

Whoa.

Sorry, what is wrong?

- He's dead.

He's dead.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Who's dead?

- My f*cking manager.

That's great, 'cause we

know who the k*ller is?

What the f*ck is wrong with you?

I am sorry.

You're gonna have to apologize

on behalf of my friend.

She's not very tactful.

No, I mean, we know who the k*ller is.

What are you on about?

I just ran from a m*rder scene.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Are you saying that it

just just happened now?

No, it happened in the 1980s.

Of course it just happened,

aren't you listening?

All calm down.

Just tell us what happened

from the beginning.

I went on my break outside of the diner.

Then when I came back,

there was no one around.

But his body was lying on the floor.

Well, he could have

just had a heart attack.

I know the difference, you moron.

There was a knife coming out of him

and blood all over the floor.

Right, where do you work?

We'll drive you back.

No.

Weren't you listening?

He was just m*rder*d there.

- Okay,

I'm gonna call the police.

I already did and they

said they were on their way,

but they're gonna be 15 minutes.

And I thought, well, I'm not

sticking around to get k*lled,

so I just ran.

Right, f*ck this.

I'm gonna drive back.

I'll just drop you off

at the police station.

No news story is worth this.

(distant dogs barking)

(upbeat jazzy music)

Hello dear, what can I do for you?

Would you like a room for this evening?

We have some wonderful secluded

lodges available tonight.

No, actually I was

wondering if you could tell me

the name of the person in room 1428.

1428?

Oh, that's the lodge my grandson uses.

Oh, dear.

Don't tell me he's been

up to mischief again.

Again?

Him and his friends,

they're always up to no good.

Who's always up to no good?

Could you tell me their names?

Hello dear.

What can I do for you?

Would you like a room for this evening?

We have some wonderful secluded

lodges available tonight.

No, I don't want a room.

Just tell me the name

of your grandson please.

Oh, don't you worry about him.

What room are you after?

No, I don't want a room.

I want to know the name of

the person in room 1428.

You said it's your grandson.

So what's his name?

You sound very stressed my dear.

Would you like a drink?

No, I don't want a drink.

Look, can I use your phone?

Oh, I'm so sorry.

All our phones are not

working at the moment.

We're a little old fashioned here you see.

It's very hard to keep up with

all this technology malarkey.

Now what room would you like?

No, I don't want a room.

Well, if you're so interested,

then why don't you go

and look for yourself.

If you just go outta this

door and you turn right,

you'll find it signposted.

I've always told my grandson

if he's going to get up to mischief,

not to do it here.

(ominous music)

(handle clunking)

(handle clunking)

(door squeaking)

(tense music)

(phone ringing)

(tense music building)

(engine misfiring)

(door opening)

[Emily] Drive.

What's wrong?

Just drive now.

What are you doing

out there in the dark?

It's hard to explain, but

there's a k*ller outside.

See, I told you.

Well obviously Charley's

not the k*ller then.

If he's out there walking around.

Wait, they know?

I told you not to tell anyone.

You don't think people

need to know about this?

This isn't something you

could just keep to yourself

and not let anyone know about.

You could jeopardize this whole thing

if you tell people that information.

You should let people know

this information, Emily.

Stop arguing.

You're all f*cking crazy.

There's literally a k*ller chasing us

and you're worried about

who's gonna find out.

Just start the van and drive.

What do you think I'm trying to do?

I can't start the van.

The battery's dead, 'cause

of all the bloody lights.

Turn the lights off then.

I can't turn the lights off,

they're connected directly to the battery.

Wait, are the doors locked?

Yes.

Well, all except the back one.

That one doesn't lock.

Why do you drive such a sh*t van?

Leave my van alone.

I'm using the van to deliver pizzas,

not run away from k*ller clowns.

Be quiet.

(tense music)

(all screaming)

Oh sh*t.

(electricity buzzing and fizzling)

(footsteps rustling)

(metal sign cracking)

Hello.

I dunno if you can help.

I'm a police officer and

I'm looking for my daughter.

I believe that she's been here.

Oh, is that right?

Are you okay officer?

Well, I'm not too sure at the moment.

There's been an incident

and we are trying to

get to the bottom of it.

Well, maybe she got lost.

I mean, all sorts of people

get lost around here.

I mean, I haven't seen my

grandson in quite a few days.

But then, well, he comes

and goes as he wants.

You're very welcome to come back tomorrow

and have a look around.

Oh no, that's all right.

I'll just get some officers

down here to search the grounds.

I haven't got time at the moment.

No need to do that.

I'm sure that I'll be able to help.

Now, what was her name?

Emily.

Oh, Emily.

Yes, she was here.

Oh, she went to lodge 1428.

It's just down there

on the right hand side.

Wait, young man,

you can't go around dressed like that.

You'll freeze.

You just stay here.

I'm sure I can find some spare clothes

around here somewhere.

Would you like a drink?

(footsteps clunking)

(handle clunking)

(handle clunking)

(door banging and breaking)

(gentle music)

You people need to learn

to leave my boy alone.

(upbeat rock music)

Creeping round in silence

Small town grieves the night

Torment in the alley

Fear is brought to light

(people scuffling)

Two souls in the darkness

One seeks peace unknown

A long-awaited showdown

Battle has now grown

Fight til the shadows

Move through the town

Heal versus madness

Bring the k*ller down

Lost (indistinct) to terror

Eyes of crimson glow

Beneath the pain and sorrow

Rage begins to flow

Ready for watch and hiding

Prayers under breath

One still has the beacon

To confront the death

Tensions rise up higher

Heartbeats pump like drums

Justice in the corner

Here the hero comes

(people scuffling)

(glass smashing)

(wind blowing)

(door closing)

(Keith panting)

(light tense music)

(knife slashing)

(Keith groaning)

(knife slashing)

(tense music)

(people scuffling)

(ominous music)

You are a repulsive,

pathetic little excuse for a man.

You made my life a living

hell, you miserable b*tch.

So is that what this is all about then?

Revenge for a few measly insults

that damaged your fragile ego.

You don't know anything about me.

This has nothing to do with revenge.

It's about what I want.

And I always get what I want.

You're even more deranged

than I thought you were.

What are you doing here, Thomas?

Huh?

She doesn't know does she?

Go on, tell her.

Shut up.

I'm thinking.

What is there to think about?

Go on, tell her the truth.

That you've k*lled all these

innocent people and we're next.

I thought it was Charley.

Yeah, it was Charley.

Well, it was me and Charley for a while.

(tense music)

(group chattering and laughing)

Yeah, nice try, dickheads.

(person cackling)

Oi, idiot.

You're supposed to be

over there, not down here.

Mate, I could do this 10

times better than you.

You wanna be over there like the others,

ready to jump out when they

come around the corner.

Not down here where

nobody's gonna see you.

Oh, sh*t.

(water running)

[Charley] This wasn't in the plan.

Can't just mindlessly

go off into the woods

and attack random dog walkers.

Who gives a sh*t?

I'm in the clear, so what's the problem?

Listen to me.

I've been doing this for a long time.

We've gotta be clever about things.

And what you did was

not very clever at all.

You left the body.

What if they found your

DNA at the scene, eh?

I'm sick of waiting around.

No one suspects me anyway.

And you know why?

Because I cleared up your mess.

He was still breathing.

I had to finish the job.

And that meant that I

could have been seen.

And then all of this, this

whole arrangement of ours,

it'd be over.

He's a f*cking moron anyway.

He's convinced it's that freak in the RV.

Doesn't give you an

excuse to act sloppy.

Yeah, we've gotta make sure

we do everything right.

Every detail has to be attended to.

Keith is not the cleverest in the bunch,

but he's committed to his

job and that is a problem.

Then we just k*ll Keith

and be done with it?

Doesn't that make the most sense?

Listen to yourself.

You've just created a motive

and that gets people caught.

It's in the planning.

It's in the preparation.

That's what stopped me

getting caught 10 years ago.

I'm not about to get caught now

because of your impulsive behavior.

We stick to the plan.

f*ck your plan.

I don't want it to be Emily.

I'm gonna pick someone else.

Emily was your idea.

We both agreed she'd be

the most interesting.

I know.

I've thought about it more and more

and I don't want to be her.

It's too late for that now,

thanks to your outburst in the woods.

She's been to my house.

I dunno how, but she suspects something.

It has to be her.

No, we're not doing that.

I'm not doing that.

Either pick someone else, or call it off.

Okay.

Yeah, okay.

I get it.

We'll, forget about it.

As long as we can make sure

that no one suspects you.

(tense music)

(blood squelching)

(clock ticking)

You planned to k*ll me?

No, it's not what I wanted.

I mean, I thought it was for a moment.

But, I mean, we grow up together.

I adore you more than anything.

Oh, that's an

interesting choice of words

to a person that you have tied to a chair.

Emily, after tonight, I'm leaving.

And I want you to come with me.

You are delusional

if you think I would go anywhere with you,

you've k*lled people.

I'm just asking you to look beyond that.

I didn't choose this.

It's just how it happened.

I wanna share this life with someone.

With you.

You are sick and you

need to let us go now.

We can get past this.

You know me.

(person heavy breathing and groaning)

Might be a shock right now,

but in time you'll understand.

Please let us go now.

I can do that.

(clock ticking)

[Emily] Dad.

Not just yet.

I'll let 'em all go, as long

as you decide to come with me.

What the f*ck?

You are delusional.

(Keith heavy breathing)

You say you like me, but you don't.

It's just some twisted

delusional stalker mind.

(Emily screaming)

(Keith muffled screaming)

(Emily screaming)

I told you to shut the f*ck up.

(Keith muffled screaming)

I'm not delusional, Emily.

This is real.

I dread every single

day of dragging myself

to that bloody cafe.

And the only comfort I got

was to know that I got to see you.

I will go with you if you let them go.

Glad you see sense.

But first, I have to be sure.

Choose someone.

Choose someone for what?

If you're gonna come with me tonight,

you need to k*ll someone in this room.

I'm not k*lling anybody.

If you don't, then they all die.

But if you do, I'll let them go.

I'm giving you a choice.

It can be anyone.

You decide.

I can't do this.

Even if I do this,

and we go, we'll get caught soon enough.

It's okay,

I've made arrangements.

There's a car outside.

I've got finances in place.

But we do need to hurry along.

(Emily screaming)

(blood gushing)

It's okay.

It's just blood, see.

You get used to it.

Now it's your turn?

Who here means the least to you?

Who here will not be missed?

(clock ticking)

I'm sorry.

(Dale muffled mumbling)

No, stupid.

Why would you do that to me?

You're gonna be okay.

You're gonna be okay.

(knife stabbing)

(Thomas heavy breathing)

(body dropping)

(vinyl static fizzling)

(knife clanging)

(upbeat music)

I just wanna hold you

Wanna lay down me

In your arms tonight

All the shadows clear

Every whispered word

Every silently plea

Feel your heartbeat close

That's enough for me

Hold you close forever

Love you through the night

Let me be your shelter

In your soft moon light

I just want love you

Feel your tender touch

In this world of chaos

You mean so much

Hold you close forever

Love you through the night

Let me be your shelter

In your soft moonlight

Let me be your shelter

In your soft moonlight

(instrumental music)

When the night grows colder

And the stars don't shine

We'll hold each other

Fight the hands of time

(instrumental music)

Forget about me, get

her to the hospital.

When the night grows colder

And the stars don't shine

We'll hold each other

Fight the hands of time

(instrumental music)

(vinyl static fizzling)

(rain falling)

(engine revving)

(rain falling)

I can't see.

(footsteps treading)

Emily, stay awake.

Keep your eyes open.

Emily, don't go to sleep.

(Emily gasping)

(somber music)

It wasn't a lie.

(rain falling)

(engine running and approaching)

(doors opening)

(doors closing)

(somber music)

(device beeping)

(somber music continues)

(birds chirping)

(box rustling)

(somber music continues)

That's an old one, how

long have you had that?

Who knows.

What the hell are you doing?

You can't be lifting

heavy boxes like that.

It's fine, it's just

one box I can manage.

You know what the doctor said?

No heavy lifting, not at

least for a few weeks.

You've got like another

10 boxes to come through.

I swear you have more stuff

at work than you do at home.

Yeah, I didn't realize I accumulated

so much stuff from the office.

I think it's about the time

we went through it all,

don't you?

You're not gonna miss it then.

I mean, it's the only

job you've ever known.

No, I'm quite excited about it all.

Looking forward to the next big thing.

Maybe I could come and

help you at the cafe?

Not bloody likely.

Why?

Why not?

What's wrong with me?

I'd make a great chef.

Well, might burn the odd

salad here and there,

but...

That reminds me.

Present from Diana.

Maybe you could try not

to eat the whole box.

Of course I won't eat the whole box.

It'd taste of cardboard.

Funny.

Oh, I thought we could maybe go out later.

Go down to the common if you like?

What now?

Yeah, sure.

Why not?

I've got plenty of time.

And we've got all this to go through.

I thought we could find somewhere to sit

and we could take a look.

There's some good stuff here you know.

I found some pictures of you earlier,

when you used to come and

visit me down at the station.

Oh, and a toy of yours,

used to take to work.

Fine.

Just don't embarrass me.

Can't find much worth keeping,

except some old papers,

newspaper clippings.

Hey, it's that award

you got from the mayor?

Remember?

Oh yeah.

They probably want that one back.

Especially the headache I've

put them through lately.

Everything's fine.

Yeah, of course.

Yeah, right, let's stay positive.

Let's sort through the rest of this.

Pass that over.

We can use that as a bin box.

Anything we don't want chuck in there.

(lamp clattering)

It is normal, you know.

You know, to miss someone,

when you've been through so much.

Do you think maybe it'd

be better to talk to him?

Why would I talk to him?

He hasn't said anything to me.

We were caught up in the moment.

That's it, there's nothing more to it.

I see.

It was a stressful situation.

We were being chase by a k*ller.

Neither of us were thinking straight.

Understood.

He had so many chances

to come see me in hospital,

but did he once?

No.

So why should I be the

one to go run over to him?

Emily,

I've been thinking a lot

since this all started,

you know, about the future, the past.

You know, I know I might look 25,

thanks to my excellent diet plan.

But if there's one thing I could change,

it would be the pride I had in myself.

I know people say you

should be proud of yourself

and proud of your job and all that.

But it's never done me any good.

Countless times I haven't been able to do

what I really wanted to do

because I've been too proud to admit it.

Now, I know you would've

heard this many times before,

but honestly, Emily,

life is too short.

You can't have regrets.

Even if I was to go talk to him,

I dunno where he is.

I know nothing.

It's too late.

Well, I don't retire until

six o'clock this evening,

and Cartwright has been

keeping me informed

as to Dale's whereabouts.

I just happen to know that

he's getting a bus outta town

in about 30 minutes.

What bus stop?

The one on the corner, just

at the end of the common.

Funny how things work out, isn't it?

(birds chirping)

(light somber music)

(engine running)

(door opening)

(door closing)

(tires screeching)

(light somber music continues)
