To Thy Rest (2025) Movie Script
(tense music)
- Wake up!
- Wake up!
(people laughing)
(Arthur exhaling sharply)
[Janet] Good feedback from Milan.
Refunds are down and no
legal action was taken this time.
Hilarious.
Where's my car?
Call me now.
(PA system chiming)
(traffic humming)
(phone ringing)
(phone ringing)
(woman speaking foreign over PA system)
Your Royal Highness,
I do hope that this is not a bad time.
Of course not, darling.
How's my favorite client?
Janet, I've been
waiting here at the airport
for about a decade
and no one has come
forward yet from the hotel.
Are you sure?
I'm still here.
Oh. God, yes. My bad.
No, I remember now.
They said to meet you out
the front by the taxi rank.
You didn't think to tell me before now?
Yes. No, I didn't tell you?
Did you check your messages?
Of course, I checked my messages.
Look, I know you've been traveling a lot
and I know that you are tired.
I am. I have.
We're all tired, sweetness.
Just remember that Finland
is the happiest country in the world.
So smile.
Just think, Arthur.
It's the last stop on your
tour in a luxury spa hotel.
Sauna, jacuzzi.
Have yourself a massage.
Then you can have a little detox.
Easy for you to say.
You are not the one flying back and forth
across the globe, are you?
God, I wish I was.
Look, seriously, listen, Arthur,
we don't want another
Barcelona on our hands.
That wasn't my fault.
Everyone thought you'd had a stroke.
They couldn't understand English.
You don't speak English.
You're from Glasgow.
I'll give you Barcelona.
Just not another London.
[Arthur] I don't remember London.
Exactly.
But where's my car?
No idea, darling. Outside.
Look, I've gotta go,
a more important call is coming through.
Text me when you get there.
Charming.
[Janet] And next time,
don't forget to check your messages.
I have. I do.
All right. Love me too. Ta-ta. Bye.
Fucking asshole.
(gentle music)
(gentle music continues)
[Arthur] Sharp.
Arthur Sydenham Sharp.
[Driver] You are late.
[Arthur] I thought I
was meeting you inside.
It's colder than Scotland
out here, pal. I can tell you.
[Driver] Get in the car.
Can I put my case in?
[Driver] Yes.
Do you know who I am?
Hello?
Can you not hear me?
I asked, did you not hear me-
[Driver] I heard.
[Arthur] Bit rude not to
answer. Don't you think?
[Driver] No.
No you don't think or no it isn't rude?
(driver speaking in foreign language)
Sorry, what was that?
(car humming)
(artist singing in foreign language)
Well, do you have a name at least?
(artist singing in foreign language)
(artist rapping in foreign language)
Hey, can I get my case?
Welcome to our peaceful hotel.
We've been expecting you.
[Arthur] Finally, someone
who speaks English.
Of course. Everybody speaks English.
[Arthur] Not your driver apparently.
Yes, even him.
Come. My name is Helena.
[Arthur] Arthur.
I am the day manager.
The bar and restaurant are through here.
Great. I'm famished.
- It's closed.
- Oh.
Breakfast will be served
between seven and eight.
[Arthur] I prefer mine a little later.
If it's sort, it's say to you,
a time difference, you know?
I'll be here until 9:00 PM.
After that, there will be no
service until the morning.
So if you want anything, come
to the reception before then
and we can accommodate you.
[Arthur] Have you any food?
No. Sorry.
[Arthur] Is there a takeaway or anything?
Keep up.
(Arthur panting)
No smoking in any part of the hotel.
We're very firm on that.
And there is alarms everywhere.
And it's very costly too.
This is your room.
(lock system chiming)
Here's your key.
(footsteps clomping)
There is coffee and tea by the kettle.
You can take water from the tap.
I'll be able to meet with
you tomorrow after breakfast.
And we can go over how to set up the room
for your performance.
It's not performance,
it's more like a seance.
And I'd prefer that we
use the term gathering.
[Helena] Would you?
Any other questions?
No, I don't think there is.
Or maybe I will pop by for a snack.
A crisps, sandwich, anything.
I'll be leaving at 9:00 PM.
So if you need anything come before that.
Get settled. You look tired.
Oh, very kind of you to say so.
Oh, is there Wi-Fi for the internet?
V-FI.
In the manual you'll find all the details.
Sex channels, pool times. V-FI.
- In no order?
- Hmm.
And do not use the pool after I leave.
Oh.
In case you have an accident and drown.
Thank you.
(footsteps clomping)
(door thudding)
(Arthur sighing)
(footsteps clomping)
(zipper rasping)
(pills clattering)
(tense music)
Arrived.
Safe and sound.
So far so good.
Except there's no food.
I'm ravenous.
Janet, that's no good enough.
Just going through some files for tomorrow.
There's a lot of people.
I seem to have some translations missing.
Could you check the file
and make sure I've not missed anything out?
I want to know more about how they died.
I need something.
Something personal would be good.
Some names would be great.
(woman moaning)
(dog barking)
(tense music)
- Oh.
- Jesus!
(woman speaking in foreign language)
(Arthur screaming)
(woman moaning)
(water splashing)
(woman moaning)
(curtain rustling)
Wow, what utter luxury!
Hotel spa.
(traffic humming)
[Janet] I haven't
seen you in here before.
Brand new.
[Janet] Oh. Okay.
Are you from around here?
I grew up kind of near Virginia Walter.
- Phone ringing.
- Oh. Sorry. Excuse me.
(phone ringing)
What up, bitch?
Whatever I'm paying you, it's not enough.
Payment. Ooh, that sounds like progress.
What do you want?
I'm hungry.
So eat.
There's nothing to eat.
Fascinating.
Is that all?
I had a bad dream.
I see a dream.
It was more like a vision, really.
Mm. See? Got powers back already.
I knew Finland would
be good for you, Arthur.
What was it then this vision?
Strange.
Young woman, completely
wet, dripping actually.
Are you watching porn?
Arthur, I've got better
things to do than listening
to the details of your wet
dream fantasy women.
So if there's nothing else.
Forget the dream.
I thought you said it was a vision.
Yeah, vision.
Look, I would really like
to get back to my work.
So look, if there's
nothing else, then bye-bye.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Did you send over the
notes that I asked for?
In your inbox. Check your messages.
Anything else?
No.
Don't call me again today.
Hello?
Hello!
I'm an unhappily hungry customer. Hello?
[Night Porter] She left.
(ominous music)
Excuse me. I didn't mean to startle you.
Ah yeah. No bother power.
I'm just looking for the manager.
She left, you said.
She said she would be here till 9:00.
Helena?
It must be the time difference.
Did you come from another country?
I thought I changed it yesterday.
Sorry, I didn't know there
was anyone else staying here.
And the night porter.
Any food available?
I'm afraid not.
I can get you a beer.
So Mr. Sharp, what can I get for you?
You don't sound Finnish.
Where are you from?
England originally,
but I moved around, so.
[Arthur] Any takeaways nearby?
I'm afraid we're out
of the delivery zone.
The nearest place is 20 kilometers.
Jesus. Really?
So you've got other
guests staying here then?
[Night Porter] Yes,
13, including yourself.
They must be early-to-bed
kinda people there.
Are you here tomorrow night?
I'm here every night.
Trooper. Good man yourself.
Thanks for opening
up. It's really kind you.
Perhaps I could have one
more beer for the bedroom like.
Of course.
(beer bottle hissing) (cap clinking)
Here.
Shall I pay you now?
On the house.
You're a very special guest
and we've been expecting you.
Thank you. Much appreciated.
So do you know why I'm here then?
Of course. You're here to help.
Oh, suppose you could
look at it that way, eh?
Goodnight, Mr. Sharp. It
was a pleasure meeting you.
Night, pal.
(gentle music)
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
(Arthur yawning)
(tense music continues)
Oh well.
Whatever. Nevermind.
(toothbrush rustling)
(Arthur splatting)
(Arthur sloshing)
(Arthur splatting)
(tense music)
(curtain rustling)
All right now, lanie, get
yourself to sleep now.
Mm.
Goodnight, you sweet prince.
May flights of angels
sing thee to thy rest.
(gentle music)
(gentle music continues)
(gentle music continues)
(camera shutters)
(gentle music continues)
(gentle music continues)
(artist singing in foreign language)
Hello!
(artist singing in foreign language)
Hello!
(artist singing in foreign language)
[Arthur] Anybody there?
- You missed breakfast.
- Whoa!
(chuckling nervously) What? What?
[Helena] You're late.
You said between 8:00 and 9:00.
And it's almost 10:00.
Oh, for fuck sake.
We like to keep things on time here.
These things are supposed
to change time zones automatically.
Mr. Sharp, do English
people always make excuses?
I'm Scottish, by the way, love.
And I checked the times twice.
You can't be very hungry then.
(scoffs) Are you kidding me?
I've had no supper, 'cause
you are nowhere to be found.
All I've had is beer,
water and sleeping pills.
This is the worst service I've
ever experienced in my life.
I saved your plate.
You what?
Come
(footsteps clomping)
Sit.
(footsteps clomping)
Here.
Thanks.
[Helena] Please eat fast.
We have to set up for a performance.
(footsteps clomping)
It's not a performance.
It's more than that.
(footsteps clomping)
It's more like a gathering.
We don't have time to chitchat.
You've got five minutes sharp.
Here is your coffee.
(footsteps clomping)
Hey, have you had any milk or cream?
Good morning, sir. Did you sleep well?
Very good.
Our luxury buffet cart
will be along shortly
with a plethora of local
and international cuisines
to tease and tantalize your palette.
(Arthur exhaling)
(gentle jazzy music)
(footsteps clomping)
(Helena speaking in foreign language)
Arthur Sharp.
(Helena clapping)
(tense ethereal music)
Death is not real.
At least not in the sense
that we've become
accustomed to believe it's real.
We've been taught to fear it.
Some of us spend our entire lives
and fortunes trying to
keep it away, to defeat it.
Well, I'm here to tell you today
that some of us have succeeded.
People say they don't believe in spirits.
But how many of you have had an experience
that you can't quite explain
with logic or science?
(woman laughing)
How many ghost stories have you heard?
Is it just a mere coincidence
that tales of the undead
predate the written word
by thousands of years?
I sense some skepticism.
That's all right.
Mystics, medium, sidekicks, clairvoyants,
these are all words again
that are bet to place a barrier
between ourselves and the spirits,
that you need some sort
of trained intermediary
in order to communicate
with those who have ostensibly departed.
How many here have read my book?
Well, you're all in luck
because I have more
than enough to go around.
And because we are all friends
here, you can get a discount.
We are not here for your book.
No. No, of course not.
We want answers.
Funnily enough, answers are exactly
what the book will give you.
[Woman 2] Tell us about the hotel.
I'm sure the manager, Helena,
will be more than happy
to tell you everything
about the hotel.
(footsteps clomping)
She means about what happened here.
What is still happening.
We need to know what you see.
What, what I...
Okay. Okay. Okay.
You've obviously experienced
something traumatic
and you want to commune.
Let's begin.
(soft ethereal music)
(Arthur humming)
Is there a Laura here?
Laura?
This is definitely an I.
Louise?
Maybe it's for someone who hasn't arrived.
A T, maybe.
Tina?
No!
Does anyone have an
item from someone that,
a relative that has departed?
(beads tinkling)
These belong to them?
Yes.
What was their name
and relationship to you?
Mari. (Eerie music)
Our sister.
Please come and sit with me.
(beats tinkling)
(table vibrating)
(Arthur toning)
Mari.
Sister Mari.
Are you there?
Yes. She's with us now.
Sister Mari, do you have
any words for your family?
Hmm?
Yes.
You were very close.
Yes.
She was taken from you far too soon.
[Maris's Sister] Yes.
[Arthur] She remembers the beads.
Ask her what she remembers.
She said it all happened very suddenly.
(Mari speaking ghostly in foreign language)
Sorry.
(Mari speaking ghostly in foreign language)
I can't-
(Mari speaking ghostly in foreign language)
[Mari's Sister] Is she here with us?
She is.
(Arthur gasping)
(eerie music)
(Arthur gasping and panting)
Holy fuck.
(man speaking in foreign language)
I, I don't understand.
(man speaking in foreign language)
I, I'm sure I can help.
I, I wanna try and help you. Please stay.
This isn't a joke.
You have no idea what
we are going through.
You insult us.
(Mari's sister speaking
in foreign language)
Please stay.
Wait, don't go.
We can talk some more.
(zipper rasping)
Call me a car to the airport
and book my flight for tonight.
I'm outta here.
(zipper rasping)
That was real.
(curtain rustling)
Stay there, you fucking fuck.
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
(footsteps clomping)
(suitcase clattering)
(woman speaking in foreign language)
[Driver] You are late again.
[Arthur] Nice to see you too again.
(woman speaking in foreign language)
(woman huffing)
Move. Move. Drive. Drive. Move it.
(dog barking)
To the airport please, my good man.
(car humming)
(zipper rasping)
(tense music)
Hey driver, come around. I'm going back.
(driver speaking in foreign language)
So are we going back or?
(car humming)
Can you drop me around the back?
[Driver] Walk.
Thanks, dickhead.
(door thudding)
(car engine revving)
- Welcome.
- Yeah. Yeah.
Fucking cold out here.
[Helena] We were
expecting you a little bit later.
Really? That's insightful.
You got here all right?
You know, just a quick
spin round the block.
Very well. I'll get your key.
I left it on the desk over there.
(footsteps clomping)
Yes.
The restaurant and bar are through there.
I don't suppose you've
got any food today.
I'm literally wasting away.
No.
Well, then can I have the
number for the pizza delivery?
- The what?
- The one around the corner.
Oh, there is no food
delivery within 20 kilometers.
Yes, there is. I found it this morning.
This morning? You are mistaken.
It's nothing nearby.
On the edge of the
forest, next to the road.
Look, I'll show you.
I'll show you to your room.
It's all right. I know where that is.
[Helena] Very well.
The swimming pool is right
down the corridor over there-
Yeah. Yeah.
And for your performance,
there is a conference area.
You can set it up after breakfast.
I'll help you.
Sorry, did you say performance tomorrow?
Yes. As per your contract.
So I'm booked in tomorrow?
Why else are you here?
(keypad clicking)
(footsteps clomping)
This is your room.
(lock system chiming)
Here is your key.
There is coffee and tea by the kettle.
You can take water from the tap.
I'll be able to meet with
you tomorrow after breakfast
and we can go over how to set up the room
for your performance.
[Arthur] Look, I get it.
The manual, the sex channels.
You don't have to go
over the same spiel again.
[Helena] Mr. Sharp,
I'm just doing my job.
Right. Whatever.
Anything else you need?
Do you have any food?
Do you know what? Just forget it.
[Helena] See you in the morning then.
Or not.
Remember, I'll be leaving at 9:00 PM.
Okay then. Thank you very much.
But, but... Goodbye now.
See you later. Thanks for your help.
You've been wonderful.
Do not use the pool after I-
(door thudding)
There's no one around
in case you have an accident and you drown.
(ominous music)
(footsteps clomping)
(receiver beeping)
Fuck my life.
(curtain rustling)
Stay there.
(zipper rasping)
(gentle music)
(Arthur gasping)
(choir singing in foreign language)
(Helena speaking in foreign language)
(group speaking in foreign language)
(Jesper speaking in foreign language)
(group laughing)

(Arthur gasping)
(Mari speaking ghostly in foreign language)
(door thudding)
(water splashing)
(Mari speaking ghostly in foreign language)
(woman wheezing)
(Arthur screaming)
(woman moaning on TV)
Oh, I don't know.
Fuck that.
I don't care as fuck.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
That's not right.
(receiver ringing)
(phone ringing)
(receptionist speaking in foreign language)
Hello. Do you speak English?
- Mm-hm.
- Oh great.
I'd like to order some food please.
I, I realize yore not a delivery company,
but, well, I'd be happy to tip the driver.
[Receptionist] Where are you?
Oh, hang on a sec.
Hotel Puolikuu.
Hotel Puolikuu. Half Moon Hotel.
Is that what it's called?
[Receptionist] Mm-hm.
[Arthur] Can you confirm that?
[Receptionist] Yes.
So you'll send some food then?
What food?
Oh. Um.
Pizza.
Do you know what? Make it two.
Pepperoni and some garlic bread.
[Receptionist] Mm-hm.
And so you're gonna send a taxi, yeah?
[Receptionist] Mm-hm.
(eerie music)
Going somewhere? (Eerie music)
Hi. No.
I'm just waiting on a pizza to arrive.
- A pizza?
- Yeah.
I couldn't last
waiting another 24 hours for a meal.
Have you not eaten yet?
No.
Your stony face day manager
is ignoring my requests.
- It's Helena.
- Whatever.
I found a delivery place,
about 15 minutes walk through the forest.
You walked through the forest?
You told me there was nothing nearby.
My apologies. I was unaware.
And you ordered food
from this establishment?
No, I couldn't find a number online,
but I called a taxi and
asked them to pick one up-
A taxi? And they agreed?
Will they be long?
I don't think so.
Let me get you a drink
on the house while you wait.
Eh. Yeah, but whatever.
But that beer you gave me
last time was well outta date.
So perhaps I'll try something else.
So what'd it be?
Whiskey. I'm homesick.
Coming up.
I was wondering.
Mm-hm.
See this picture of a red house here?
[Night Porter] Yes.
[Arthur] Is that that
red house over there?
I believe so, yes.
Ooh.
There you go.
Another?
Thank you. You know what? Fill that up.
I've got food coming.
Yeah, where did you get that bottle?
I'm sorry. Which bottle?
That bottle there by the sink.
Oh, I hadn't seen that.
I lost a bottle with that this morning.
Give us a look.
Ah, must have been
handed in by a customer.
Ah.
Handed in, you say?
Well, it seems whoever handed it in
has helped themselves to a few.
Well, (indistinct) broken, look.
Fascinating. Yes, I see.
Funny.
Here.
One more.
Thank you.
You look tired.
You say.
It's really important to get your rest.
Yeah, rest is important.
To relax, recuperate. Let go.
It is.
Let go. Relax.
I do need to relax.
Find yourself relaxing further, deeper.
Your mind's eye growing
heavy and ready to close.
Let it drop now.
Shut out external noise
and clear your mind.
Surrender. Let go.
You're feeling calm,
empty and deeper relaxed.
You're falling to a deep, deep sleep.
May flights of angels
sing thee to thy rest.
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
(water splashing)
[Arthur] Hey, watch it, pal.
(tense music)
(ghosts whimpering)
(Arthur whimpering)
(Mari shouting in foreign language)
(Arthur screaming)
Let him go! Let him go!
(dramatic music)
(Arthur gasping)
(water splashing)
(Arthur gasping and wheezing)
(Arthur coughing)
(Arthur panting)
(upbeat music)
(Janet moaning)
(phone ringing)
(Janet moaning)
What?
It's me.
I know. What?
I have to leave.
You only just bloody got there.
I know, but I'm not quite feeling myself.
My visions have returned.
That's good, isn't it?
It's what you bloody wanted.
Something's not quite right.
More intense.
And this is a problem?
I can't tell 'em from my dreams.
And from reality even.
Oh my God.
You fucking child.
It's the middle of a
fucking night now, Arthur.
And I've got a really
fucking busy day tomorrow.
For once in your life,
can't you just do your work
and stop crying for help all the time?
(Arthur whimpering)
You've been drinking again, haven't you?
On those pills?
I told you not to take them.
No.
You can have another episode.
Please. Can you just
get me out over here?
Make yourself useful.
- What?
- Not you.
[Arthur] I just need to get out.
Listen to me.
Get into bed, close your eyes,
and stop ringing me in the
middle of the fucking night.
(discontinuation tone beeping)
(Arthur crying)
(eerie music)
(eerie sounds resonating)
(suitcase gliding)
(suitcase gliding)
Come on.
You missed breakfast.
It's already after 10:00.
Come.
(suitcase clattering)
(footsteps clomping)
I saved your plate.
Here.
We have to set up for your performance,
so you should eat as fast as possible.
Yeah. Okay.
- Thank you.
- Good.
I'll meet you in the space in 10 minutes.
Here is your coffee.
(footsteps clomping)
(tense music)
(Helena speaking in foreign language)
Arthur Sharp.
(Helena clapping)
(Arthur lazy-humming)
[Arthur] This is not-
Get on with it.
Yeah.
Who are you?
(window thudding)
You are looking for your sister, Mari.
(man speaking in foreign language)
[Arthur] What?
You don't know?
You should have never have come here.
(woman 1 speaking in foreign language)
(woman 2 speaking in foreign language)
What the fuck is going on here?
- Help me.
- Help us.
(Mari laughing)
- Help.
- Help me.
(man speaking in foreign language)
[Arthur] What?
(man speaking in foreign language)
(Mari laughing)
Shut up!
(Mari laughing)
[Man 2] You should've never-
- Shut the fuck up.
- Come here.
(Mari crying)
(dramatic music)
(eerie music)
(Arthur grunting)
- Hey!
- Oh, fuck off.
You shouldn't be here.
Oh, I know that.
- Then leave.
- I will.
Now!
Soon as I get the rest of
my things, I'm outta here.
[Woman 2] Why are you
here? How did you get in?
That's gratitude for you.
I provide a service, and
you people take the piss.
- I tell you.
- You people?
I've been watching you.
Take your things and leave.
This place is not safe. You're not safe.
I can't save you. You're all fucked.
I've already informed Security.
Security? That's a leap.
I don't bother. I'm gone.
I'm leaving.
(dog barking)
(door thudding)
(eerie music)
(water dripping)
(eerie music continues)
(Arthur screaming)
(woman screaming)
(water splashing)
(eerie music)
(woman screaming)
(Arthur panting)
(receiver ringing)
Come on. Come on.
(receiver beeping)
Fuck!
Please, you've gotta get me outta here.
I'm in serious trouble.
Call the police. Call anyone.
Please get me outta here.
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
Fuck!
(tense music continues)
Come on.
(tense music continues)
Come on.
(dramatic music)
Thanks, bud.
I'm headed to the airport.
Can you drop me as close
as you can please, my man.
What's your name?
[Juha] Juha.
Very pleased to meet you, Juha.
[Juha] Mm-hm.
So what do you do?
[Juha] I take care of things?
[Arthur] What kinda thing?
[Juha] Ah, you'll see.
(foreboding music)
I'll just make my way
if that's all right with you.
[Juha] No, I take care of property.
A property you broke into.
[Arthur] No. No, you're mistaken.
I'm just a tourist.
I'll get out here if that's all right.
[Juha] I want you to
see the mess you made.
[Arthur] What fucking mess?
I'm just a visitor. I wanna leave.
Can you just please let me go?
(Juha shushing)
I don't know what you're after.
Maybe we can make some sort of deal.
You could talk to my agent.
(car humming)
(eerie music)
Go. Go.
(eerie music)
Go. Go.
Stay.
(eerie music)
In there.
Go. In there. Go.
Sit.
Empty pockets. Come.
I'm here under the contract.
I'm here to give a performance.
(woman speaking in foreign language)
We wait here for the
police. (Clearing throat)
Why? I'm the one in danger here.
I was trying to get away.
Speak to Helena.
(Juha speaking in foreign language)
(woman speaking in foreign language)
(Juha speaking in foreign language)
The night porter.
(woman speaking in foreign language)
Help.
(Juha speaking in foreign language)
(dramatic music)
(tense music)
[Juha] Hey! You there, stop!
Hey, stop.
(speaking in foreign language), come here.
Hey! Hey.
Hey, come back!
Hey, come back!
Hey, stop!
Come back here.
(speaking in foreign
language), come back here now!
(eerie music)
(eerie music intensifies)
(Arthur panting)
(eerie music)
[Arthur] What? What is this?
Your lost, Arthur. What's troubling you?
Drink this, Arthur. Celebrate with us.
If You drink that, you'll die.
Come on. It's okay.
Don't listen to her.
He needs your sacrifice.
I think it's time for me to leave now.
Now.
Leave?
You can never leave our land.
You are one of us.
Don't listen to him anymore.
You have to get out.
Go!
(footsteps thudding)
(Mari screaming)
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
(car humming)
(tense music continues)
(Arthur sobbing)

(gentle music continues)
(gentle music continues)
(gentle music continues)
(gentle music continues)
- Wake up!
- Wake up!
(people laughing)
(Arthur exhaling sharply)
[Janet] Good feedback from Milan.
Refunds are down and no
legal action was taken this time.
Hilarious.
Where's my car?
Call me now.
(PA system chiming)
(traffic humming)
(phone ringing)
(phone ringing)
(woman speaking foreign over PA system)
Your Royal Highness,
I do hope that this is not a bad time.
Of course not, darling.
How's my favorite client?
Janet, I've been
waiting here at the airport
for about a decade
and no one has come
forward yet from the hotel.
Are you sure?
I'm still here.
Oh. God, yes. My bad.
No, I remember now.
They said to meet you out
the front by the taxi rank.
You didn't think to tell me before now?
Yes. No, I didn't tell you?
Did you check your messages?
Of course, I checked my messages.
Look, I know you've been traveling a lot
and I know that you are tired.
I am. I have.
We're all tired, sweetness.
Just remember that Finland
is the happiest country in the world.
So smile.
Just think, Arthur.
It's the last stop on your
tour in a luxury spa hotel.
Sauna, jacuzzi.
Have yourself a massage.
Then you can have a little detox.
Easy for you to say.
You are not the one flying back and forth
across the globe, are you?
God, I wish I was.
Look, seriously, listen, Arthur,
we don't want another
Barcelona on our hands.
That wasn't my fault.
Everyone thought you'd had a stroke.
They couldn't understand English.
You don't speak English.
You're from Glasgow.
I'll give you Barcelona.
Just not another London.
[Arthur] I don't remember London.
Exactly.
But where's my car?
No idea, darling. Outside.
Look, I've gotta go,
a more important call is coming through.
Text me when you get there.
Charming.
[Janet] And next time,
don't forget to check your messages.
I have. I do.
All right. Love me too. Ta-ta. Bye.
Fucking asshole.
(gentle music)
(gentle music continues)
[Arthur] Sharp.
Arthur Sydenham Sharp.
[Driver] You are late.
[Arthur] I thought I
was meeting you inside.
It's colder than Scotland
out here, pal. I can tell you.
[Driver] Get in the car.
Can I put my case in?
[Driver] Yes.
Do you know who I am?
Hello?
Can you not hear me?
I asked, did you not hear me-
[Driver] I heard.
[Arthur] Bit rude not to
answer. Don't you think?
[Driver] No.
No you don't think or no it isn't rude?
(driver speaking in foreign language)
Sorry, what was that?
(car humming)
(artist singing in foreign language)
Well, do you have a name at least?
(artist singing in foreign language)
(artist rapping in foreign language)
Hey, can I get my case?
Welcome to our peaceful hotel.
We've been expecting you.
[Arthur] Finally, someone
who speaks English.
Of course. Everybody speaks English.
[Arthur] Not your driver apparently.
Yes, even him.
Come. My name is Helena.
[Arthur] Arthur.
I am the day manager.
The bar and restaurant are through here.
Great. I'm famished.
- It's closed.
- Oh.
Breakfast will be served
between seven and eight.
[Arthur] I prefer mine a little later.
If it's sort, it's say to you,
a time difference, you know?
I'll be here until 9:00 PM.
After that, there will be no
service until the morning.
So if you want anything, come
to the reception before then
and we can accommodate you.
[Arthur] Have you any food?
No. Sorry.
[Arthur] Is there a takeaway or anything?
Keep up.
(Arthur panting)
No smoking in any part of the hotel.
We're very firm on that.
And there is alarms everywhere.
And it's very costly too.
This is your room.
(lock system chiming)
Here's your key.
(footsteps clomping)
There is coffee and tea by the kettle.
You can take water from the tap.
I'll be able to meet with
you tomorrow after breakfast.
And we can go over how to set up the room
for your performance.
It's not performance,
it's more like a seance.
And I'd prefer that we
use the term gathering.
[Helena] Would you?
Any other questions?
No, I don't think there is.
Or maybe I will pop by for a snack.
A crisps, sandwich, anything.
I'll be leaving at 9:00 PM.
So if you need anything come before that.
Get settled. You look tired.
Oh, very kind of you to say so.
Oh, is there Wi-Fi for the internet?
V-FI.
In the manual you'll find all the details.
Sex channels, pool times. V-FI.
- In no order?
- Hmm.
And do not use the pool after I leave.
Oh.
In case you have an accident and drown.
Thank you.
(footsteps clomping)
(door thudding)
(Arthur sighing)
(footsteps clomping)
(zipper rasping)
(pills clattering)
(tense music)
Arrived.
Safe and sound.
So far so good.
Except there's no food.
I'm ravenous.
Janet, that's no good enough.
Just going through some files for tomorrow.
There's a lot of people.
I seem to have some translations missing.
Could you check the file
and make sure I've not missed anything out?
I want to know more about how they died.
I need something.
Something personal would be good.
Some names would be great.
(woman moaning)
(dog barking)
(tense music)
- Oh.
- Jesus!
(woman speaking in foreign language)
(Arthur screaming)
(woman moaning)
(water splashing)
(woman moaning)
(curtain rustling)
Wow, what utter luxury!
Hotel spa.
(traffic humming)
[Janet] I haven't
seen you in here before.
Brand new.
[Janet] Oh. Okay.
Are you from around here?
I grew up kind of near Virginia Walter.
- Phone ringing.
- Oh. Sorry. Excuse me.
(phone ringing)
What up, bitch?
Whatever I'm paying you, it's not enough.
Payment. Ooh, that sounds like progress.
What do you want?
I'm hungry.
So eat.
There's nothing to eat.
Fascinating.
Is that all?
I had a bad dream.
I see a dream.
It was more like a vision, really.
Mm. See? Got powers back already.
I knew Finland would
be good for you, Arthur.
What was it then this vision?
Strange.
Young woman, completely
wet, dripping actually.
Are you watching porn?
Arthur, I've got better
things to do than listening
to the details of your wet
dream fantasy women.
So if there's nothing else.
Forget the dream.
I thought you said it was a vision.
Yeah, vision.
Look, I would really like
to get back to my work.
So look, if there's
nothing else, then bye-bye.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Did you send over the
notes that I asked for?
In your inbox. Check your messages.
Anything else?
No.
Don't call me again today.
Hello?
Hello!
I'm an unhappily hungry customer. Hello?
[Night Porter] She left.
(ominous music)
Excuse me. I didn't mean to startle you.
Ah yeah. No bother power.
I'm just looking for the manager.
She left, you said.
She said she would be here till 9:00.
Helena?
It must be the time difference.
Did you come from another country?
I thought I changed it yesterday.
Sorry, I didn't know there
was anyone else staying here.
And the night porter.
Any food available?
I'm afraid not.
I can get you a beer.
So Mr. Sharp, what can I get for you?
You don't sound Finnish.
Where are you from?
England originally,
but I moved around, so.
[Arthur] Any takeaways nearby?
I'm afraid we're out
of the delivery zone.
The nearest place is 20 kilometers.
Jesus. Really?
So you've got other
guests staying here then?
[Night Porter] Yes,
13, including yourself.
They must be early-to-bed
kinda people there.
Are you here tomorrow night?
I'm here every night.
Trooper. Good man yourself.
Thanks for opening
up. It's really kind you.
Perhaps I could have one
more beer for the bedroom like.
Of course.
(beer bottle hissing) (cap clinking)
Here.
Shall I pay you now?
On the house.
You're a very special guest
and we've been expecting you.
Thank you. Much appreciated.
So do you know why I'm here then?
Of course. You're here to help.
Oh, suppose you could
look at it that way, eh?
Goodnight, Mr. Sharp. It
was a pleasure meeting you.
Night, pal.
(gentle music)
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
(Arthur yawning)
(tense music continues)
Oh well.
Whatever. Nevermind.
(toothbrush rustling)
(Arthur splatting)
(Arthur sloshing)
(Arthur splatting)
(tense music)
(curtain rustling)
All right now, lanie, get
yourself to sleep now.
Mm.
Goodnight, you sweet prince.
May flights of angels
sing thee to thy rest.
(gentle music)
(gentle music continues)
(gentle music continues)
(camera shutters)
(gentle music continues)
(gentle music continues)
(artist singing in foreign language)
Hello!
(artist singing in foreign language)
Hello!
(artist singing in foreign language)
[Arthur] Anybody there?
- You missed breakfast.
- Whoa!
(chuckling nervously) What? What?
[Helena] You're late.
You said between 8:00 and 9:00.
And it's almost 10:00.
Oh, for fuck sake.
We like to keep things on time here.
These things are supposed
to change time zones automatically.
Mr. Sharp, do English
people always make excuses?
I'm Scottish, by the way, love.
And I checked the times twice.
You can't be very hungry then.
(scoffs) Are you kidding me?
I've had no supper, 'cause
you are nowhere to be found.
All I've had is beer,
water and sleeping pills.
This is the worst service I've
ever experienced in my life.
I saved your plate.
You what?
Come
(footsteps clomping)
Sit.
(footsteps clomping)
Here.
Thanks.
[Helena] Please eat fast.
We have to set up for a performance.
(footsteps clomping)
It's not a performance.
It's more than that.
(footsteps clomping)
It's more like a gathering.
We don't have time to chitchat.
You've got five minutes sharp.
Here is your coffee.
(footsteps clomping)
Hey, have you had any milk or cream?
Good morning, sir. Did you sleep well?
Very good.
Our luxury buffet cart
will be along shortly
with a plethora of local
and international cuisines
to tease and tantalize your palette.
(Arthur exhaling)
(gentle jazzy music)
(footsteps clomping)
(Helena speaking in foreign language)
Arthur Sharp.
(Helena clapping)
(tense ethereal music)
Death is not real.
At least not in the sense
that we've become
accustomed to believe it's real.
We've been taught to fear it.
Some of us spend our entire lives
and fortunes trying to
keep it away, to defeat it.
Well, I'm here to tell you today
that some of us have succeeded.
People say they don't believe in spirits.
But how many of you have had an experience
that you can't quite explain
with logic or science?
(woman laughing)
How many ghost stories have you heard?
Is it just a mere coincidence
that tales of the undead
predate the written word
by thousands of years?
I sense some skepticism.
That's all right.
Mystics, medium, sidekicks, clairvoyants,
these are all words again
that are bet to place a barrier
between ourselves and the spirits,
that you need some sort
of trained intermediary
in order to communicate
with those who have ostensibly departed.
How many here have read my book?
Well, you're all in luck
because I have more
than enough to go around.
And because we are all friends
here, you can get a discount.
We are not here for your book.
No. No, of course not.
We want answers.
Funnily enough, answers are exactly
what the book will give you.
[Woman 2] Tell us about the hotel.
I'm sure the manager, Helena,
will be more than happy
to tell you everything
about the hotel.
(footsteps clomping)
She means about what happened here.
What is still happening.
We need to know what you see.
What, what I...
Okay. Okay. Okay.
You've obviously experienced
something traumatic
and you want to commune.
Let's begin.
(soft ethereal music)
(Arthur humming)
Is there a Laura here?
Laura?
This is definitely an I.
Louise?
Maybe it's for someone who hasn't arrived.
A T, maybe.
Tina?
No!
Does anyone have an
item from someone that,
a relative that has departed?
(beads tinkling)
These belong to them?
Yes.
What was their name
and relationship to you?
Mari. (Eerie music)
Our sister.
Please come and sit with me.
(beats tinkling)
(table vibrating)
(Arthur toning)
Mari.
Sister Mari.
Are you there?
Yes. She's with us now.
Sister Mari, do you have
any words for your family?
Hmm?
Yes.
You were very close.
Yes.
She was taken from you far too soon.
[Maris's Sister] Yes.
[Arthur] She remembers the beads.
Ask her what she remembers.
She said it all happened very suddenly.
(Mari speaking ghostly in foreign language)
Sorry.
(Mari speaking ghostly in foreign language)
I can't-
(Mari speaking ghostly in foreign language)
[Mari's Sister] Is she here with us?
She is.
(Arthur gasping)
(eerie music)
(Arthur gasping and panting)
Holy fuck.
(man speaking in foreign language)
I, I don't understand.
(man speaking in foreign language)
I, I'm sure I can help.
I, I wanna try and help you. Please stay.
This isn't a joke.
You have no idea what
we are going through.
You insult us.
(Mari's sister speaking
in foreign language)
Please stay.
Wait, don't go.
We can talk some more.
(zipper rasping)
Call me a car to the airport
and book my flight for tonight.
I'm outta here.
(zipper rasping)
That was real.
(curtain rustling)
Stay there, you fucking fuck.
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
(footsteps clomping)
(suitcase clattering)
(woman speaking in foreign language)
[Driver] You are late again.
[Arthur] Nice to see you too again.
(woman speaking in foreign language)
(woman huffing)
Move. Move. Drive. Drive. Move it.
(dog barking)
To the airport please, my good man.
(car humming)
(zipper rasping)
(tense music)
Hey driver, come around. I'm going back.
(driver speaking in foreign language)
So are we going back or?
(car humming)
Can you drop me around the back?
[Driver] Walk.
Thanks, dickhead.
(door thudding)
(car engine revving)
- Welcome.
- Yeah. Yeah.
Fucking cold out here.
[Helena] We were
expecting you a little bit later.
Really? That's insightful.
You got here all right?
You know, just a quick
spin round the block.
Very well. I'll get your key.
I left it on the desk over there.
(footsteps clomping)
Yes.
The restaurant and bar are through there.
I don't suppose you've
got any food today.
I'm literally wasting away.
No.
Well, then can I have the
number for the pizza delivery?
- The what?
- The one around the corner.
Oh, there is no food
delivery within 20 kilometers.
Yes, there is. I found it this morning.
This morning? You are mistaken.
It's nothing nearby.
On the edge of the
forest, next to the road.
Look, I'll show you.
I'll show you to your room.
It's all right. I know where that is.
[Helena] Very well.
The swimming pool is right
down the corridor over there-
Yeah. Yeah.
And for your performance,
there is a conference area.
You can set it up after breakfast.
I'll help you.
Sorry, did you say performance tomorrow?
Yes. As per your contract.
So I'm booked in tomorrow?
Why else are you here?
(keypad clicking)
(footsteps clomping)
This is your room.
(lock system chiming)
Here is your key.
There is coffee and tea by the kettle.
You can take water from the tap.
I'll be able to meet with
you tomorrow after breakfast
and we can go over how to set up the room
for your performance.
[Arthur] Look, I get it.
The manual, the sex channels.
You don't have to go
over the same spiel again.
[Helena] Mr. Sharp,
I'm just doing my job.
Right. Whatever.
Anything else you need?
Do you have any food?
Do you know what? Just forget it.
[Helena] See you in the morning then.
Or not.
Remember, I'll be leaving at 9:00 PM.
Okay then. Thank you very much.
But, but... Goodbye now.
See you later. Thanks for your help.
You've been wonderful.
Do not use the pool after I-
(door thudding)
There's no one around
in case you have an accident and you drown.
(ominous music)
(footsteps clomping)
(receiver beeping)
Fuck my life.
(curtain rustling)
Stay there.
(zipper rasping)
(gentle music)
(Arthur gasping)

(woman wheezing)
(Arthur screaming)
(woman moaning on TV)
Oh, I don't know.
Fuck that.
I don't care as fuck.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
That's not right.
(receiver ringing)
(phone ringing)
(receptionist speaking in foreign language)
Hello. Do you speak English?
- Mm-hm.
- Oh great.
I'd like to order some food please.
I, I realize yore not a delivery company,
but, well, I'd be happy to tip the driver.
[Receptionist] Where are you?
Oh, hang on a sec.
Hotel Puolikuu.
Hotel Puolikuu. Half Moon Hotel.
Is that what it's called?
[Receptionist] Mm-hm.
[Arthur] Can you confirm that?
[Receptionist] Yes.
So you'll send some food then?
What food?
Oh. Um.
Pizza.
Do you know what? Make it two.
Pepperoni and some garlic bread.
[Receptionist] Mm-hm.
And so you're gonna send a taxi, yeah?
[Receptionist] Mm-hm.
(eerie music)
Going somewhere? (Eerie music)
Hi. No.
I'm just waiting on a pizza to arrive.
- A pizza?
- Yeah.
I couldn't last
waiting another 24 hours for a meal.
Have you not eaten yet?
No.
Your stony face day manager
is ignoring my requests.
- It's Helena.
- Whatever.
I found a delivery place,
about 15 minutes walk through the forest.
You walked through the forest?
You told me there was nothing nearby.
My apologies. I was unaware.
And you ordered food
from this establishment?
No, I couldn't find a number online,
but I called a taxi and
asked them to pick one up-
A taxi? And they agreed?
Will they be long?
I don't think so.
Let me get you a drink
on the house while you wait.
Eh. Yeah, but whatever.
But that beer you gave me
last time was well outta date.
So perhaps I'll try something else.
So what'd it be?
Whiskey. I'm homesick.
Coming up.
I was wondering.
Mm-hm.
See this picture of a red house here?
[Night Porter] Yes.
[Arthur] Is that that
red house over there?
I believe so, yes.
Ooh.
There you go.
Another?
Thank you. You know what? Fill that up.
I've got food coming.
Yeah, where did you get that bottle?
I'm sorry. Which bottle?
That bottle there by the sink.
Oh, I hadn't seen that.
I lost a bottle with that this morning.
Give us a look.
Ah, must have been
handed in by a customer.
Ah.
Handed in, you say?
Well, it seems whoever handed it in
has helped themselves to a few.
Well, (indistinct) broken, look.
Fascinating. Yes, I see.
Funny.
Here.
One more.
Thank you.
You look tired.
You say.
It's really important to get your rest.
Yeah, rest is important.
To relax, recuperate. Let go.
It is.
Let go. Relax.
I do need to relax.
Find yourself relaxing further, deeper.
Your mind's eye growing
heavy and ready to close.
Let it drop now.
Shut out external noise
and clear your mind.
Surrender. Let go.
You're feeling calm,
empty and deeper relaxed.
You're falling to a deep, deep sleep.
May flights of angels
sing thee to thy rest.
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
(water splashing)
[Arthur] Hey, watch it, pal.
(tense music)
(ghosts whimpering)
(Arthur whimpering)
(Mari shouting in foreign language)

Let him go! Let him go!

(Arthur panting)
(upbeat music)
(Janet moaning)
(phone ringing)
(Janet moaning)
What?
It's me.
I know. What?
I have to leave.
You only just bloody got there.
I know, but I'm not quite feeling myself.
My visions have returned.
That's good, isn't it?
It's what you bloody wanted.
Something's not quite right.
More intense.
And this is a problem?
I can't tell 'em from my dreams.
And from reality even.
Oh my God.
You fucking child.
It's the middle of a
fucking night now, Arthur.
And I've got a really
fucking busy day tomorrow.
For once in your life,
can't you just do your work
and stop crying for help all the time?
(Arthur whimpering)
You've been drinking again, haven't you?
On those pills?
I told you not to take them.
No.
You can have another episode.
Please. Can you just
get me out over here?
Make yourself useful.
- What?
- Not you.
[Arthur] I just need to get out.
Listen to me.
Get into bed, close your eyes,
and stop ringing me in the
middle of the fucking night.
(discontinuation tone beeping)
(Arthur crying)
(eerie music)
(eerie sounds resonating)
(suitcase gliding)
(suitcase gliding)
Come on.
You missed breakfast.
It's already after 10:00.
Come.
(suitcase clattering)
(footsteps clomping)
I saved your plate.
Here.
We have to set up for your performance,
so you should eat as fast as possible.
Yeah. Okay.
- Thank you.
- Good.
I'll meet you in the space in 10 minutes.
Here is your coffee.
(footsteps clomping)
(tense music)
(Helena speaking in foreign language)
Arthur Sharp.
(Helena clapping)
(Arthur lazy-humming)
[Arthur] This is not-
Get on with it.
Yeah.
Who are you?
(window thudding)
You are looking for your sister, Mari.
(man speaking in foreign language)
[Arthur] What?
You don't know?
You should have never have come here.
(woman 1 speaking in foreign language)
(woman 2 speaking in foreign language)
What the fuck is going on here?
- Help me.
- Help us.
(Mari laughing)
- Help.
- Help me.
(man speaking in foreign language)
[Arthur] What?
(man speaking in foreign language)
(Mari laughing)
Shut up!
(Mari laughing)
[Man 2] You should've never-
- Shut the fuck up.
- Come here.
(Mari crying)
(dramatic music)
(eerie music)
(Arthur grunting)
- Hey!
- Oh, fuck off.
You shouldn't be here.
Oh, I know that.
- Then leave.
- I will.
Now!
Soon as I get the rest of
my things, I'm outta here.
[Woman 2] Why are you
here? How did you get in?
That's gratitude for you.
I provide a service, and
you people take the piss.
- I tell you.
- You people?
I've been watching you.
Take your things and leave.
This place is not safe. You're not safe.
I can't save you. You're all fucked.
I've already informed Security.
Security? That's a leap.
I don't bother. I'm gone.
I'm leaving.
(dog barking)
(door thudding)

(water dripping)
(eerie music continues)
(Arthur screaming)
(woman screaming)
(water splashing)
(eerie music)
(woman screaming)
(Arthur panting)
(receiver ringing)
Come on. Come on.
(receiver beeping)
Fuck!
Please, you've gotta get me outta here.
I'm in serious trouble.
Call the police. Call anyone.
Please get me outta here.
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
Fuck!
(tense music continues)
Come on.
(tense music continues)
Come on.
(dramatic music)
Thanks, bud.
I'm headed to the airport.
Can you drop me as close
as you can please, my man.
What's your name?
[Juha] Juha.
Very pleased to meet you, Juha.
[Juha] Mm-hm.
So what do you do?
[Juha] I take care of things?
[Arthur] What kinda thing?
[Juha] Ah, you'll see.
(foreboding music)
I'll just make my way
if that's all right with you.
[Juha] No, I take care of property.
A property you broke into.
[Arthur] No. No, you're mistaken.
I'm just a tourist.
I'll get out here if that's all right.
[Juha] I want you to
see the mess you made.
[Arthur] What fucking mess?
I'm just a visitor. I wanna leave.
Can you just please let me go?
(Juha shushing)
I don't know what you're after.
Maybe we can make some sort of deal.
You could talk to my agent.

Your lost, Arthur. What's troubling you?

If You drink that, you'll die.
