Hokum (2026)

[bunniefuu]

Come close..

Its OK. Come here.

I know that.

Nothing to be done.

Please turn away.

Be steel.

I said turn away..

Why did you sh**t it?

Parasites.

It jumps on cars and

makes sh*t on the paint.

You couldn't just kick it out, could you?

Goats are stubborn.

Spray with the hose?

No.

A long, long time ago, there

was a forest with a small log cabin.

And inside the little log

cabin lived an Alkaliak.

A witch.

Weathering the lost, the wicked

old woman first did to the new traveler

her spell, leaving him in a state of

confusion with a vulnerable and unsteady step.

The witch bound after her c*ptive

victim before leading the lost travelers

on a tour of the Underworld.

And sometimes, a hand or a claw

would emerge from the darkness and tear

a piece of those at

the end of her chain.

He plucked out an eye.

He was plucking out an ear.

And sometimes, they took something

much more valuable from a boy

from the eyes or ears.

Any idea what

your spot might be?

Are you kissing

No.

Go to your parents.

And don't talk to strangers again.

There are worse things than

strangers out there, Yankee.

Did we wake you up?

Mr. Cobb, I apologize.

I was on the phone and I thought Albie...

Don't apologize to me, man-eater.

Apologize to the customer.

Apologize.

Why don't you look at your work?

It's my job.

I am the owner.

Bowman, booked for one person.

If you could just... Sir...

Bowman. Mr. Om Bowman,

Pullman City, Whatman.

With us for a week.

You are welcome.

The dining room is

down this hallway here.

Breakfast from 7 to 10.

Halloween party tomorrow night

with live music, c*ck, costumes.

It will be a lot of fun.

The word "joke" is a word we use

to describe something

fun here in Ireland.

Yes, can I have a room as far

away from the slab as possible?

I have a job. What do you do?

Author.

Well, you won't hear anything at all.

Thanks.

Wait.

Bowman. That name tells me something.

I think my son is a fan of yours.

You are a celebrity.

So if there is anything we can do to

make your stay more enjoyable, please

call 0 and let us know.

Ok.

Could I bring my son's

book for you to sign?

No.

Now, that's what we call solid

construction. Nothing goes through.

Are you lost?

What do you think?

In this style, you can

probably stay lost.

Okay, sorry. I just...

I can't find my room.

It should be right

here, but it isn't.

Yes, from here. Thank you.

First time in Ireland?

Yes.

Are you having a good time

Yes.

Here you are.

Thank you.

Good stay.

Thanks. Sorry.

Do you happen to know

where the Great Sequoia is?

BILBERRY HOTEL THE GREAT SECOGIA

Who is she?

My Christ.

Mine.

I am sorry for your loss.

Do you want a drink?

I think I might need

something stronger than milk.

There was nothing stronger than that.

A shot?

Putin.

Water of life.

Yes, this is Moonlight.

If you want something to defeat the

demons, and not just put it on your feet

from the mushrooms.

I love the feeling.

It's completely natural.

I collect, dry, grind

the mushrooms myself.

And I like it with goat's milk.

I will do it.

I will forget her.

Do you know why they climb into cars?

Goats also like

to eat mushrooms.

And when they climb, they

look for reflective surfaces.

Because looking into your own eyes

under the influence of mushrooms deepens

the experience.

But it can get dangerous.

Especially when there's a

b*stard with a crossbow nearby.

Don't catch it.

I almost came to

blows with them over it.

Thanks for the drink.

Don't go climbing on any cars.

I won't do it.

His skull is the only

hard object for miles.

So Conchita Doral hits the

boy with the bottle, k*lling him.

But the bottle still doesn't break.

In the end, he wanders

off into the desert to die.

Why write this?

What do you mean

I mean, it's so bleak.

Well, you know, it's

meant to challenge you.

Well, I won't read it.

Not if that's the end of it.

Well, you know, some of my novels

have been made into bad movies.

When they make the movie,

they also stick a happy ending.

Okay, so, somewhat better.

You remind me of my mom.

Your mom?

How old do you think I am?

Well, when she was young.

Yeah, just in a way, she...

She should be happy.

My dad drew her.

You know, they came

here for their honeymoon.

They always wanted to come back.

Yes;

Yes. Why didn't they?

She died three years later.

She was very young.

And how did he die?

He was m*rder*d.

He was shot in the face.

He came home from work.

Dead. Did they catch the one who did it?

He was too young to be punished.

So they hanged him.

And your dad?

Well, he became a monster and

drank himself to his untimely grave.

You know, I had their ashes for

years, I didn't know what to do with them.

Yes, they were happy here, so... I

noticed the honeymoon suite is closed.

I hope this is the

room they stayed in.

It has been closed for a long time.

Do you know why?

Because no couple in their right mind

would spend their honeymoon here?

It is haunted.

From a witch.

Mr. Cobb says they managed

to lock her up there years ago.

I tried to convince

Mal to dive the key

from Mr. Cobb, to have a look

up there, but he wouldn't accept.

I, again,

I have never seen a man

so afraid of his father-in-law.

Why do you want to

go up there so badly?

To see if there is electricity.

What if there is? Are you

afraid of being... grabbed?

I have some chalk.

Chalk; If you ever get chased by

a witch, just run a circle around her.

It will keep you safe. If I ever think

I'm being hunted by a witch, I'll look for

psychiatrist, not for a piece of chalk.

Dot.

I'm here.

Tell us about your encounter

with the witch upstairs.

So...

And that's what happened.

How so?

Don't worry, I'll be here.

I believe you.

Fiona, in the dining room.

Hello, Neil.

Are you enjoying your

stay, Mr. Bowman?

Assume.

When I saw the name, I didn't

think it would actually be you.

What are you doing here

I don't want to bother you, but I wanted

to tell you how much they meant to

me your books.

I really relate to

your characters.

Well, this is a concern as these

pages are populated from deep

disturbed, desperate people.

Is that what you use

to hold your ideas?

Yes, that's it.

Yes, I had one.

Talking to you.

Idea for a character.

An ungrateful one who

hasn't taken it for granted.

Completely unable to read

the mood of a conversation.

Is it true, I read that you are finally

writing the end of the Conquistador trilogy?

How the hell do I

know what you read?

No, I mean, is it true that

you're finally writing the end of it?

No, I'm starting to think

it's going to stay open.

And are you happy

with the way it's going?

I'm a writer too.

And some nights it's hard

to face the blank page.

Yes.

Is that a Halloween

costume you're wearing?

No, I just work here

to pay the bills. Ok.

So you're not a writer,

you're a groomer.

No, I'm a writer.

I'm just not getting paid for it yet.

It's hard to get publishers or

agents or anyone to read anything.

Certainly.

And basically, I have a manuscript in

my locker. Do you mind if I ask you?

Take a look at it? - No.

Why not?

My Christ!

You need a thicker skin if

you want to make it as a writer.

What happened there?

Never know your idols.

I'll get another one.

And this will be his last.

In the bleak finale.

Strange feeling.

He doesn't answer.

The way he was drinking, he probably

passed out in a pool of his own piss.

You burned my hand. Open it.

Your own funeral.

Mr. Bowman?

I'm Fiona.

You left your stuff at the bar.

Mr. Bowman?

Thank you very

much for your time.

Mr. Penman?

Are you closing?

End of season.

How... How do you feel?

I am sorry.

I just came to get my things.

Naturally.

Just back here, safe and sound.

Thank you.

Who found me?

One of the staff members.

Fiona. He was working at

the bar that night. My Christ.

Is it around here?

No. Well, I'd like to talk to her.

To apologize.

Could I have her number?

Mr. Bowman, Fiona is missing.

What do you mean?

She hasn't been seen since

Halloween, and that was weeks ago.

What?

We thought maybe he just wanted

some time and didn't notify anyone, but...

What the hell happened to her?

I don't know.

Ok,

but it can't just disappear.

Did they search the hotel?

Naturally.

And the forest.

Could she have been kidnapped?

Who;

So how the hell would I know?

I mean, there's a local

weirdo, a customer,

someone who works here. I mean, I

don't know if you noticed, but they exist

some weird guys

hanging around in here.

Ok.

These men were police officers.

There is a man they want to

talk to who lives in the forest.

His name is Jerry.

Fergal saw Fiona outside

talking to him earlier that night.

He hasn't been seen since.

Now, we've always considered

him just a nuisance around here.

He comes to the hotel in a wild

style, disturbs the customers. Correctly.

Since his disappearance, the police have

learned who Jerry is, and it turns out that

Jerry disappeared after his wife died under

suspicious circumstances ten years ago.

Mr. Bowman, I think

you've been through enough.

Go home.

Get well. I promise to call you

myself if there are any developments.

I bet you now fully

appreciate women's intuition.

Albie told me that Fiona

forced him to unlock

your door because

he had a bad feeling.

Good luck.

You saw Fiona talking to the man

in the woods before he disappeared.

Jerry. From the day he was

born you must stay away from him.

Mal said his wife died under

suspicious circumstances.

He obviously

k*lled her, didn't he?

What else would he be doing down here, hiding

in the woods for years, living in an old van?

Well, now it's gone.

He will be back.

I will wait for him.

Did you talk to her that night?

Yes. Yes;

What did you think?

Well, she wasn't herself.

Abstract.

Sad.

I think she was still in shock

because she had to take you down.

What about the honeymoon suite?

What about her?

So, they searched her... Sir?

Fiona mentioned that

she wanted to go up there.

Impossible. The door is always locked.

Mr. Cobb has the

key on him at all times.

So it was not investigated.

It's always locked.

It's locked now too.

Mr. Cobb makes me

check the door every day.

There's no way he could have possibly

gotten up there, so neither could you

to suggest that we also look for the moon.

Did the police talk to you?

I talk to the police every day.

My first cousins.

Officer Targent is my uncle.

Why do you ask?

So the best thing

for you to do now is

get in your car and drive back

at the airport as long as you

still look like your passport photo.

Safe return.

Oh my god.

Fiona would be glad to know you're awake.

Okay, so it's ignored.

Do you have anything to do with this?

No.

Well, the police are looking for you. You

are the last one to see her and talk to her.

I don't think that's the only

reason they're looking for me now.

Yes, that's right. They

said you k*lled your wife.

Yes.

It's true.

She was very sick.

It hurt a lot.

You know, this is Fiona's.

We were friends.

He let me borrow it.

Truth;

Okay, so why don't you come

with me and we'll talk to the police.

No, it's pointless.

They wouldn't believe me anyway.

Yes;

Why? What do you think happened to her?

I don't know.

But I know she's dead.

Why do you say that?

There is a cupboard

in Mal's office full

medication left

behind by a customer.

Two nights ago, I

went there for supplies.

What? And the bell that was pointing?

It is an old mechanical call bell

connected to the honeymoon suite.

I think he was trying

to tell me to go up there.

I'm waiting for the hotel to vacate

and then I'll go up there to check.

Okay, but since you have a key,

then how the hell... Oh, right, of course.

The scoundrel lives at the other

end of the forest from where I entered.

But if he had the key, then

she couldn't be up there.

No, this is stolen.

He took her up there and then

put it back without him realizing it.

Right, but who would do that?

I don't know.

Ok.

Why don't you give it to me?

I'll go back and check it out.

You wouldn't even go near

the door with Fergal guarding it.

No, it must be night.

Tonight.

When the hotel is empty.

Would you come with me

I don't know what I'll

find when I get up there.

I'd rather not go alone.

You know, all

these things exist.

It's just that closed-minded

people can't see them.

There is one more car in

the parking lot, by my count.

And the hotel is empty.

Do you really think what

you saw was Fiona's ghost?

Yes.

Did you drink your magic

milk when you saw this ghost?

That's how I saw her.

And my mind was open.

What the hell am I doing here?

My wife's spirit visited

me once on a trip.

She thanked me for

ending her suffering.

He said we will be

together again one day.

Whatever you say, man.

He said we will be together again.

Believe what you want.

We're going to go up there, okay?

We will find Fiona,

you will believe it.

And what if we don't find her?



;

I have Jerry.



.

What do you mean do you have

him? Look, I have to hit the road.

Thanks.

It's okay.

What are you doing here

Are you asking me?



,



.

Where did you find this?

From Jerry.

Jerry? He is convinced

that Fiona was up here.

Where is he

The b*stard Fergal took him

to the police. He didn't see me.

He saved me. I wanted to

help find her. I don't know.

Ok.

Why don't we just go down, we'll

be in trouble if we get caught up here.

Ok.



;

Yes.



.

Mr. Cobb told me a story



.

No, Mr. Bowman, sir...

Mr. Bowman, please?

You're not supposed

to be up here.

Mr. Cobb is very strict about

people not coming up here.

I could lose my job.

Where does this lead?

There was a basement down

there before it was a hotel.

The entrance was lost during

renovations. There is nothing there

Look there.

There's nothing down there.

Okay, okay, we have to go.

We have to leave.

Mr. Bowman, I'm going to

arrest you for trespassing

if you don't come right now.

Hello, girls.

You look fine!

I thought you'd

give it up for a hug.

He is, famous, you know.

I bet he'll dedicate his new

mug to you if he wakes up.

Drink your tea while it's still hot.

Thank you.

I was playing with my dad's g*n

and burst out.

What are the two things

we never play with, guys?

And that's right.

My dad hates me now.

I miss my mom.

I'm scared all the time.

Help me.

Om.

Well, Om it's pretty simple.

Your dad told you to

stay away from his g*n,

but you went anyway, and

his wife's mind went out...

This will leave a scar.

I thank you.

Front;

Who is he, man?

I need your help.

What happened to you?

Fergal, it doesn't matter.

I have to get up here.

I have to open this.

For what reason?

For the American.

He went up there.

Stop, stop, stop.

He left.

What?

Mr. Cobb sent me out here to look for

the key. And when I got here, the door was

unlocked so i went up.

And;

What did you find? Mr. Bowman.

Drunk.

Where is it? He's on

his way to the airport.

Well, he was too drunk to drive,

so I took him down to town,

put him in a taxi and sent him off.

Fiona!

Can you speak slowly, please?

So you just jumped?

I mean, you could

have been k*lled.

Are you sure you checked that

room? I mean, you looked everywhere.

The room is not that big.

It's not there.

I swear, I looked.

I have to see for myself.

If you want me to go up there, I'll

have to call the police and tell them

that you are here

They know about your wife.

I know that.

I am sorry.

Just go away, Jerry.

Take Bowman's car

and don't come back.

I'll tell them you were already gone.

I left the keys.

Bugger.

Are you okay, man?

No, basically I don't feel very well.

I think I should lock

up and go home.

Why don't I take the

keys and get you out?

The owner used to say, never ignore it

when something seems strange to you.

Something seems odd here, Mal.

Jerry, you have to go. I left you in

town, why did you come back here?

To reframe it for my wife?

Did you drive all the

way back here for this?

Why can't a man do

something nice for his wife?

Jerry.

Jerry, what the hell are

you doing? I don't have it.

I gave it back to Mr. Cobb.

Give it to me!

Ok. Ok. Ok.

Jerry, please.

It was a mistake.

You didn't know Fiona like I did.

He was not a good person.

He threatened to tell Mr. Cobb.

He hates me.

He has threatened to k*ll me

for much less over the years.

Just let it go.

She is dead. Mal k*lled her.

Are you ok

There's no way out down there.

I'll get you upstairs with the

key, and we can both leave.

You can go home.

Bowman!

Can you hear me

Bowman!

Sorry, I made it up.

I know that.

You can't stay here.

It was an accident.

Come on, we have to go.

No, no.

You are that groom.

My name is Albie.

You didn't think anyone would

visit you, so far from your home.

I'm not sure anyone

would visit me there either.

Sit down. Sorry.

Okay, I guess I'll just

buy two vanilla pods.

I work at the ice cream

parlor next door as well.

This is from Fergal.

He is quite

heartbroken for Fiona.

He said if you needed anything, let him

know. Yes, I spoke to him on the phone.

Did you go to the hotel?

All that's left.

They found remains.

Fiona and Jerry's.

Now, his car was found outside.

They are looking for him.

Mr. Bowman, I have

to tell you something.

I don't know what happened, but I'm worried

that it might have been my fault in some way.

How;

There was a bottle of

whiskey in your room.

Did you drink it?

Yes.

Much of it?

Well, it's whiskey.

I drank it all. Why?

I faked it.

With what?

I had some of Jerry's

mushroom powder.

I broke into your room

and put her in the bag.

Why did you do that?

Well, it was after I tried to

talk to you at the bar that night.

But you burned me in the arm.

That hurt.

All these things

exist, you know.

But those closed minded

people cannot see them.

I am sorry.

You were very rude.

I better get out before they kick me out.

One of the firemen

found it at the hotel.

You can have that too.

I didn't mean to... Yeah, no, just take it.

If you wanted something to pass the

time, I could bring you my manuscript.

I've been through enough already.

I'll give it a quick finish

and I will bring it tomorrow.

As loud as you can.

Did you understand?

You don't stop at blood.

You don't stop at the bones.

You keep hitting until it breaks.

You follow the map and

claim it all for yourself.

I get things I don't deserve.

Get it before I change my mind.
