Devil's Punchbowl: Aftermath (2025) Movie Script

(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 illegal firearm.
It wouldn't take much for a judge
to find out what my intentions were.
That man was a murderer.
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 bullet 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 kill 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 gun.
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 gun was unregistered.
It's the exact kind of weapon
that any murderer 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 murderer.
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 gun.
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 gun.
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
Killer'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 shit, 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.
Fuck 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 fuck 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 killer 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 killer
wandering around the neighborhood.
Forget about it, it's over now.
Nobody's going to kill 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 killing
people all these years.
I mean, he could have killed anyone.
He could have killed 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 bullet 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.
Killer'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 bastard
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 kill 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 killed 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)
Shit.
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
guns, 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 killer?
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 killer.
And the reason she went
looking for the killer
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.
Fuck me, I guess.
Scare me shit 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
Murderer 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 kill 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
killing 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 killed 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 killer lost
(device beeping)
A killer 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)
Murder, killer, haunting dreams
Silence screams
Or so it seams
One fell down for someone new
A new hunter prowls the night
Murder, killer, 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 killer.
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
Murder, killer, 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 murderer.
Of course it's serious.
Look, if the police thought
that Charley was killing 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 torture 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 killer 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 killer,
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 killing 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 shit 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 shit.
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 killer 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 killers.
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 killers.
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
Murder 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 killer.
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 kill 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 killer 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 bastard 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 shit.
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 killer?
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 fucking manager.
That's great, 'cause we
know who the killer is?
What the fuck 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 killer is.
What are you on about?
I just ran from a murder 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 murdered 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 killed,
so I just ran.
Right, fuck 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 killer outside.
See, I told you.
Well obviously Charley's
not the killer 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 fucking crazy.
There's literally a killer 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 shit van?
Leave my van alone.
I'm using the van to deliver pizzas,
not run away from killer clowns.
Be quiet.
(tense music)
(all screaming)
Oh shit.
(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 killer 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 bitch.
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 killed 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, shit.
(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 shit?
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 fucking 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 kill 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.
Fuck 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 kill 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 killed 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 fuck?
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 fuck 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 kill someone in this room.
I'm not killing 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 killer.
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)

(door closing)
