" Understand." "I'll call them tomorrow, arrange something for next weekend." " lt was pretty short notice." " Yeah, I think she was just calling on the off chance we hadn't made plans." " l'll sort the food out if you want to get changed." " Cool." " ln the kitchen." "It's all ready." "Had been burgled, we wouldn't need to check the webcam to find out." "There probably wouldn't be a laptop to check." " Well, that doesn't matter now, 'cause I signed up to a website that stores the recordings." "The camera uploads whatever it sees when it's triggered." " Well, I'm not sure if I like that idea." " lt's a secure site." "No one else can see it, and I can check it if we're away or when I'm at work." " So you've already checked it today, then?" " This guy in Nottingham, yeah, he sets his camera up like ours." "He gets home from work, and he checks it." "He hasn't been burgled." "Well, at least nothing had been taken, but the camera's been triggered." "When he watches the video back, he sees that he has filmed a guy in his house." "Turns out that this guy has been breaking in every day when he's at work, wearing his clothes, even sleeping in his bed." "Imagine coming home to that." " Mm, it'd explain where all the milk goes." "So?" " Nothing." " See?" "Told you there wouldn't be anything on it." "All done?" " Yep." " Good." "Let's eat." " Thank you." "Shit." " We missed the end." " Mm, don't open it." "Don't open it." "Don't open it." " What?" " What?" " l thought you were awake." "Ah, shit, what happened?" " You were talking in your sleep." " What?" "What did I say?" " "Don't open it." "Don't open it."" " Don't open it?" "Don't open what?" "What time is it?" " After 1 2:00." " lt's a bit late to" "I'll go." " No, no, no." "I'll go." "Shit." "Fuck, David." " Sorry." " You scared me." " Can I come in?" " Of course." " Just didn't know where else to go." " What's wrong?" " lt's Sarah." " What?" " She's been seeing someone else." " Oh." " Can we go inside?" " Yeah, yeah, of course." " Hey, Kate." "Sorry, I didn't mean to barge in like this." " No, no, don't be silly." "Do you want a drink or something?" "I think we've got some more wine." " l'm gonna head off to bed, leave you two to talk, okay?" " Okay, I won't be long." " Okay, wake me up when you come to bed." " Okay, I don't think David will want to go home tonight." " Well, there's plenty of clean sheets in the airing cupboard." " Okay." "Night, you." " Night." " lt was up on St. Catherine's Hill, where--- l don't know who it was, but he had one of those boxes of fireworks, you know, the, the rockets in the cube," "and they chucked it on the bonfire." " That was Nigel." " Was it?" "Fucking knob." "It was like fucking Vietnam or something." "Do you know what I mean?" "There was rockets flying around, fire in the trees, man." " Yeah, and what were you doing, you maniac?" "You just stood there, watching it, Mr. No Fear." " That was the booze." " Polish courage." " That stuff is evil." " l was about to have a shower when, um--- what time is it?" " Just after 3:00." " You want to know what happened?" " Only if you want to tell me." "Sarah's away for the night on business for the bank." "At least I think that's--  l'm sure that's where she is, mate." " Got home tonight, and there's a message on the answer machine." "It was from Helen, a friend of Sarah's." "She said---she said she needs the number of someone at work." "Sounded pretty urgent, you know, so l--- l tried to call Sarah on the mobile." "When I got through to her, I could hear the phone ringing, you know, actually ringing in the house, in the bedroom." " You don't have to tell me." " So I went upstairs, and, uh..." "She'd left her bag on the bed." "She's got an address book in there somewhere, I knew it." "I never looked in her bag before." "There was photographs of her." " l'm sorry, mate." " He wasn't in any of the pictures, you know?" "Just Sarah, undressed." "What the fuck are you supposed to do when something like that happens, huh?" "Started trying to figure out who he was." "Thing is, we don't know that many people." "I just---l know I know him." "Then you start thinking," ""How many times have I been sat next to him at a dinner, bought him a drink in the pub?"" " No, you can't think like that." " l can't get it out of my fuckin' head." "What am I gonna do?" "What the fuck am I gonna do now?" "David,happybirthday." "Thankyou." " You old bastard." "Watchthis." "Sodisappointing." "Howmuchyoupay for them?" "That'srubbish." "Okay,thisis atour of his new pad,  broughttoyouinassociation with the letter S,  for," Shit,thisis nice!""

"Oh, fuck." "Fuck." " Hello?" "What am I doing?" "I'm talking to myself like a nut." "Oh, hi." "Sorry, did I wake you?" " No, I wasn't sleeping." " Okay." " What time is it?" " Um, it is a little after 8:00." "I'm from upstairs?" "Oh, you're not gonna believe this." "I came down here, and now I can't remember what it was that I wanted." "God, you know, ever since this, this has just turned to mush." "I'd been meaning to pop by and say hello anyway, but I'm sure there was something else." "No, I can't remember." " l don't actually live here." "The people that do, um," "Alex and Kate, they're not up yet." " Oh, well, I can pop by later." "Maybe I might have remembered by then what it was that I came down to say, in the first place." "Oh." "I'm Anna." " David." " lt's nice to meet you." " You too." " Was someone at the door?" " Uh, yeah." "Anna, from upstairs." " Upstairs?" "Hope that means they've finished renovating now." "What did she want?" " She didn't know." "Did you hear anything last night?" " Dead to the world, mate." "Why?" "We get a lot of foxes round here." "They make a hell of a noise some nights." "Are you okay?" " Yeah, mate." "Just tired, you know?" " l'm going to grab a shower and then get a paper." "Kate won't be up for a while yet, if you want to get some more sleep." " No, thanks, mate, I'm fine." " All right." "How's David this morning?" " Not good." " l'm not surprised." "How long had they been together?" " Oh, must be three, three and a bit years." "Yeah, it was New Year's Eve." " When you came to bed last night, did you say David found out about the affair from some photographs?" " Yeah." " Doesn't that seem odd to you?" " What do you mean?" " Don't know." "I just--- l guess Sarah never struck me as the type who'd do that kind of thing, you know?" "Pictures and so on." "What do you think?" " l think it's a fucking mess." "Hi,we 'renotabletoget to the phone right now,  butpleaseleaveamessage." " Oh, freezing out there." "Bed and breakfast." "Don't say I'm not a good host." " Thanks." " Right." "Let's do it." "Don't mind, do you, mate?" " No, carry on." " This won't take long." " Uh-huh." "We'll see." " Right." " That's just brutal." "That's really brutal." "Whoa." " lt's okay, lt's okay." "Didn't mean to make you jump." "I didn't know if you were asleep or not." "Do you want a blanket or something?" " No, I'm fine." "Thank you." "I'm just gonna--- l'm just gonna stretch my legs, wake myself up a bit." " Fancy a kicking?" " No, maybe in a bit." "You got any painkillers?" " Yeah, in my bag in the back room." "Have you got a headache?" "Revenge." " Right." "That's one, then." "Dying." "Don't think so." " ls everything all right?" "Sorry." " Don't worry about it." " What kind of a person would you say I was?" "You've known me for a long time, right?" " Yeah, why?" "What do you mean?" "Did Sarah say something?" " No, just" "How would you describe me?" " l don't know." "Intelligent." "I'm not very good at this sort of thing." "Popular, level-headed." "Ah." "Shit." " You okay?" " Yeah, yeah, it's not deep." "Are you okay?" " Can I stay here again tonight?" " Of course you can." "Tell you what." "There's a flyer on the fridge." "I've been dying to try this out." "There's a company that deliver everything:" "beer, cigarettes, movies, games." "We'll have a complete blow-out." "I think we deserve it, don't you?" " Yeah." "Shit." " What?" "What is it?" " David." "You scared the hell out of me." " David." "What is it?" "David." "David." " Alex, shh." "I think he's sleepwalking." " What, really?" " Joe used to do it all the time when we were kids." " David?" "He looks so scared." " He could be having a nightmare." " What do you think he's looking at?" " ln his dream?" "Whatever it is, it's moving." " l'm going to wake him up." " No, don't." " Look, he's terrified." "I've got to do something." "What did you used to do with Joe?" " We could try moving him, try putting him back to bed." " David." "It's okay." "It's just a dream." "You're asleep." " David, David." "Wake up, mate." "David, wake up." "Wake up." " Wake up, mate." "Wake up." "Wake up." "It's okay." "It's okay." "You're just sleepwalking." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." "That was--- that was pretty mad." "I didn't know you sleepwalked." "We're dry on everything else, so I'm afraid it'll have to be coffee." " What?" "What happened?" " What do you mean?" "It's okay, it's okay." "You were just sleepwalking." "It wasn't real." " Sleepwalking?" "No, you don't understand." "You can't see them coming if you're asleep." " What?" "David." "David." "What is it, mate?" "David, what's happening?" " Oh, Christ." "Oh, Christ." "I think l--- l think I'm going out of my fucking mind." " No, no, you're not." "You're not." " lt started a couple of weeks ago, a couple of days after you and Kate came over." "I thought I was just tired." " What started?" " l've thought about it a lot since then." "Maybe they've always been there." " Who?" "Who have?" " All day, I had this feeling, you know, a sense of something, something I couldn't see, like intuition, like someone was watching me, like something bad was gonna happen." "I was in the office." "I wasn't doing anything different." "You know when you see something out of the corner of your eye, and you turn to look, and there's nothing there?" " Yeah." " That's what it was like." "It kept happening." "I just thought I was tired." "You know, it was quite a fuckin' weekend, running Sarah's birthday and everything, so l--- l left the office, and I went home." " Go on." " l felt better there." "I left Sarah watching TV downstairs, and l--- l went to bed." "And I slept." "I slept heavily for a while." "Then I woke up." "I thought I could hear Sarah moving around downstairs." "But it was later than I thought." "And Sarah was asleep in the bed, next to me." "I lay there listening for hours, 'cause I knew." "I knew even then, and I didn't want to--- l didn't want to leave the room." "I didn't want to be on my own." "I didn't want to be away from Sarah." "Eventually, the sun came up, and I, uh--- l hoped that would be an end of it." "You think to yourself," ""Were those noises there before;" "I just didn't notice them?" "Were the shadows as thick as that?"" "when you turn off the light, and you're swallowed into that darkness." "I should have told Sarah." "It didn't stop." "It hasn't stopped." "Second day wasn't as bad, actually." "I think they did that on purpose just to give me false hope." " Who did?" " You don't believe in God, do you?" " No." "I've thought about it, but it doesn't make any sense to me." " No, me neither, but the last couple of weeks, I've started to change my mind..." "Because..." "Because if there are monsters and devils, couldn't there be a God?" "I mean, shouldn't there be?" " l don't understand." " l've prayed." "I've fuckin' prayed." "No one's listening." "Imagine it, yeah?" "They're real, and God isn't." "There's a hell and nothing else." "They're coming for me, coming for me, and I don't know why." "And what have I done?" "What have I done?" "I've hardly slept this past week." "I'm sorry." "You don't close your eyes." "You can't let your guard down." "I'm sorry." "I didn't want to fall asleep." "I'm just so fuckin' tired." " lt's okay." " No, it's not." "I didn't mean to get you and Kate involved in this." "I really didn't." "It's just that everything that happened... lt's just that everything that happened with Sarah, I didn't know where to go." "And I didn't want to be on my own." "They're out there." "They're waiting." "Last night, now." "I've seen them." " When you were sleepwalking, it was like you were watching something." " Kate?" " They're in the house." "They're in the house." " Alex, what's going on?" " l think it's a power cut." "Either that, or the trip switch." "You okay?" "They're in the fuckin' house." " l'm all right." " lt's okay. lt's okay." "It's okay." " We can't see them." "We can't see them, but they can see us." "Don't you understand?" "We got to get into the light." "That's why they've done this." "We're sitting ducks here." " Your lighter." "Have you got your lighter?" " lt's in the lounge with my cigarettes." "Oh, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit." "Alex." " lt's okay, it's me." "I can't see anything." " Christ, man." "We got to do something." " The curtains." "David, open the curtains." "The light from outside--- we'll be able to see better." " Alex?" " Alex, man, what are you doing?" "We've got to get out." " l'm looking for a light." "I put them in here when I quit smoking." " What's going on?" " What?" "What?" " There's something in here with us." "I've seen it." " Kate, get out of the flat." " Get out." " Kate, get out." "Open the door." " What is it?" "What's going on, Alex?" " We can't stay here." " Christ, be careful with that." " Sorry." " Alex, what's going on?" " The light won't protect us long." "We need to find somewhere to hide." " Okay, okay, we've got to get out of here." " Where are the keys?" " ln the flat." " They're in the house." " Who are?" " David's been seeing things." " Things?" "What are you talking about?" " Like ghosts or monsters." " Monsters?" " This door isn't shut." "I thought it shut behind" "Oh, shit." " Okay, okay, okay, okay." " You shouted, Alex." "Did you see something in the flat?" " l don't know." "I don't know, really." "I don't know--- it was dark." "I thought" " You thought what?" " l don't know." "It looked like" " Looked like what?" " We've got to get out of here." "I can't hold it." " Run." "Run." " Go, go." "Go, go, go, go, go." "Go." "We have to do something." " What's going on, Alex?" "What the fuck's going on?" "In the kitchen, what did you see?" " l don't know." "I don't know." " David?" "David, it's Anna." " Oh, God." " David, what's going on?" " They're in the house." "I'm sorry." " Who is?" "David?" "David, switch the light back on." "I can't" "Sorry, I just, um--- l really don't like the dark." " ls there another room we can hide in?" " David, bring the light over here." "Did you hear that?" " David, the light." "David?" " David, the light." "I can't hold it." "Just push." " Push it." "Push it." "Push it." "Get in there." "Go." " Okay." "Okay." "It's okay." "You okay?" " No." " Are you hurt?" " No, no." " Okay, okay." "I'm almost" " Okay, okay." " Fuck." " Oh, God." "Oh, God." " Kate." " Shit." "Oh, shit." "I'm coming." " Alex, are you okay?" "Oh, God." "Alex, what's going on?" " Hold this." "Hold it." " Okay, I'm gonna go find the light, all right?" "And push again." " Hurry." "Hurry, please." " Okay, okay." " What is it?" " l don't know." "Something wet." "Fuck." "Oh, God." " What's going on?" " Oh, my God." "No, no, no." " David?" " No." " David, what is it?" "David?" " lt's you." " What?" "What's going on?" "David, what is it?" "David." "No." "I knew that something wasn't right." "I always had a good memory." "Oh, David, my baby." "Oh, David." "I'm so sorry." "I remembered what it was I came down to say." "I came to tell you to run." "Run." " What?" "Alex, what is it?" " l don't know." "David." " David, are you okay?" "David, is there anybody else in here with you?" " Kate, come here." " Alex, what are we going to do?" "Alex." " Close the door." "We'll barricade ourselves in, wait until morning." " What?" " Well, do you want to go back down to the flat?" " Fuck." " Sorry, sorry, sorry." " Fuck." "I told you to wait on the landing." " l know." "I just thought you were taking too long." "Well?" " Nothing." " Good." " The power's still off." "I'll head to the cellar and check the trip switch." "You okay?" "It's all clear, mate." "David." " l should go." " No." "No, don't be silly." "Come on." "Come on." "Did you ask him about them?" " No." "Tell me what you saw." "Describe it to me." " l don't know." "I thought" " Thought what?" "Was it a person?" "Was it something from that book?" " No." "No, I mean, it couldn't have been." "I don't know what I saw." " Do you think you could have been mistaken?" "It was dark." "David had just been telling you what he's been seeing." "Do you believe him, Alex?" " Yes." " You believe that these things are real?" " l don't know." "I don't know." " l... I don't want David to stay here again tonight." " What?" " Last night, he was running around our house with a knife." "Okay." "I know you two have been friends for a long time." " Yeah, since college, nearly ten years." "This isn't like him, Kate." "This isn't like him at all." "You know that." " Yes." "Yes, I do." "But that's why I don't want him to stay here again tonight." "You saw the state that he was in this morning." "How can this have happened, Kate?" "We only saw David two weeks ago." "There was nothing wrong with him then, was there?" " There didn't seem to be." " And now this?" "It doesn't make any fucking sense." "What could've done this to him in such a short space of time?" " He needs help, Alex, help that we can't give him." "Please, no more." "Please." "What the fuck?" "Oh, fuck." "Leave me alone." "Leave me alone." "What do you want?" "What do you want from me?" "What?" "I don't know what to say." "What do you want?" "Why me?" "Know what?" "You're Anna." "Then who are you?" "S." "A." "R." "No." "No." "I've got to get out of here." "No, no." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on, you fuck, come on." "Come on, come on." "Come on, come on." "No, no." "No." "No." "Please." "Please stop." "Please stop." " David." "David, David." "What happened?" "Kate." "David, what?" " They've killed her." " What are you talking about?" " Sarah." "They've killed Sarah." " l don't understand." " What's going on?" " Kate, call Sarah." " lt's dead." " What?" " Nothing." " She should be back by now, shouldn't she?" "I thought she was only away for Friday night." " Come on." "Come on." "Hello,we 'renotaround totakeyourcall at the moment,  butifyou'dliketoleave  a message,  we'llcallyouback." " Hi, Sarah. it's Alex." "Um, can you give us a call when you get this message?" "It doesn't matter what time it is." "Thanks, bye." " l'll try her mobile." " Shit." " What?" " The webcam's been recording all weekend." "I must have set it up wrong." "It's filled up the whole hard drive." " Nothing." " This can't be right." "There must be something wrong with it." " What?" " Well, all these recordings are from last night." "See, look how many times it was triggered." " When last night?" " What time did David wake us up?" " l don't know." "We went to bed at about 1 :00." " Well, it's not meant to record at night." "There's no infrared or night vision." " Shit." "What the hell was that?" " lt's okay. lt's okay." "That's the first recording." "That's David sleepwalking." " That doesn't make sense." "Something must have triggered it." " What do you mean?" " lf that was David on the tape, then what set it off in the first place?" "If it's triggered by movement, shouldn't the first thing that it captures be whatever set it running?" " Okay, hang on." " Pause it at the beginning." "It's too dark." "I can't see anything." " Shit." "What the hell did this?" " lt's getting late." "They'll be looking for a way in, like last night." " Look at all these recordings." "There's no pattern to them." "It's not as if there's a problem with the program setting the camera off every five minutes or so." " Yeah, well, it has to be." "There's nothing else it could be." " lsn't there?" " They're gonna kill us, aren't they?" "Aren't they?" " l'm gonna go round to the house, check Sarah's okay." "You keep trying her from here." " No, Alex." "No, Alex." " Christ." "What the hell was that?" " What?" " Shh." " Oh, God." " l heard something outside, in the corridor." "I can't hear anything now." "Can you?" " No." " Alex." "Please." "Please don't go out there." " Did you hear something?" " No." "But they are out there." " Alex." "No, wait." "We can keep trying Sarah from here." "I don't think you should go." "Not yet." " Shit." "Did you see that?" " What?" " The light." "I thought it flashed." " What are we going to do?" " What if he's right, Kate?" " He can't be." "This is insane." " l've been thinking about it all day." "Maybe I was wrong about what I saw in the kitchen, but what about the apartment door?" "Something was trying to get out of the flat." " l don't know." "Couldn't he have done that?" " Kate, we've been through this." "Why did they break in?" "They didn't take anything." " Maybe we scared them off." "I don't know." " Well, how did they get out?" "This morning, the front door was double-locked." "The back door was bolted." "I've been through the whole house." "There was no way out." " Alex." " What?" "What is it?" " They're in the house." " What are you talking about?" "Where?" " ln there." "I saw something." "Must have been in there with me the whole time." " What's going on?" " Shh." " What happened?" " l came out the bathroom, and I locked the door." "I turned the light switch off, and then I saw it." "Christ, Alex, how did they get in again?" "We've got to do something." " Turn the light off again." "What?" "What happened?" " They've been here with us the whole time." " Alex..." " We've got to turn the lights off." " Please." " We're gonna be okay." " Kate, are you okay?" " Yeah." " David?" " l'm here." "Shh." " Can you see anything?" "Run." "Run." "They're closing in." " What was it, David?" "What's there?" "Kate, did you see anything?" " No, no, l" "Alex, what's going on?" " We've got to get out of here." " No, we've got to turn these lights off." " No way, no way." "You've seen these things during the day, haven't you?" "Hasn't just been at night, has it?" " No." " So why can't you see them with the lights on?" "Why can't you see them now?" " l don't know." "I just can't, okay?" "It's been like this from the beginning." "They do what they want." "So turn off the light." "They killed Sarah, for fuck's sake." "Now they're gonna kill us." "So turn off the light." "Turn it off." "I cannot see if they're in here." "Turn it off." " Alex." " David?" " l can't see any" " Kate, turn the light back on." " No." "Wait." "Shh." "Shh." "Shh, shh." "Oh, God." "Oh, God." " What?" "David." " lt's calling for more of them." "Turn it off again." " No." "I didn't hear anything." " Turn off the light." "They'll be able to see we're in here." "Turn it off." " Turn it off, Kate." " Alex, stop this." " Turn off the lights." " What's going on?" " Shh." " David?" " Shh." "Shh." " What's going on, David?" " Alex, calm down." "Calm down." " Shh." " What's happening?" " They're all around us." "They're all around the house." " We've got to get out of here." " Where the fuck are we gonna go?" " Alex is right." "We've got to get out of here." "We've got to get out of here now." " No, you'll let them in." " They're already in." "We've got to get out." " Alex." "Alex, no." "We've got to keep them out." " No." " Alex, no." " Why didn't you listen to me?" "We need to block this door." "We've got to stop them getting in." " Kate, help me move him." " Alex." "Alex, mate." "Alex." "Shit." "Alex." "Kate, we got to move him." "We got to block this door." "We can't let them in." "They're gonna kill us, man." "Like they killed Sarah." "Kate." " David." "Please, help." " l was just trying to protect you." "You can't go out there." "They will kill you, like Sarah." "No." "No." "No, no, no, no." "Look, look, it's black." "It's a trick just to get me here." "There never was any affair." "Oh, God." "I left her alone with them." "I left her alone with them." "No." " No, you'll let them in." "Alex." "Alex, Alex." "It's going to be okay." "Alex." "Alex." "Alex." "I'll get help." "I love you." "It's gonna be okay." "Okay." ""Don't open it.""
