I'm only going as far as the 62.
What's taking you up north?
A girl.

NEWSCASTER: Finally, police are warning road users
to be on their guard tonight, after the discovery
of a third roadside body in the area within a week.
Police are appealing for witnesses
who may have seen anything suspic--
[ Switches off ]
You know I'd better stop and call the missus...
Tell her what I want for supper.
You're dead.
-Shepherd's pie tonight... -Did you hear me?
-What's that, mate? -I said, "You're dead."
You might not know it yet, but you are.
One week ago, there was a crash.
The other guy drove away. You weren't so lucky.
[ Tires screech ]
-Get out. -I know you're angry.
Get out!
I know you want to take it out on someone, anyone.
All I want is to get home to my wife, okay.
She wasn't so lucky, either, mate.
Was it just three you killed, or are there more the cops haven't found yet?
-Remember. -[ Screams ]
Look! Look at it.
Look at it.
Your wife's waiting for you.
She's just not at home.
[ Mobile phone beeping ]
S---.
KATE: Grade-two listed exterior. Highest-spec refurb inside.
And an incredible setting.
Well, we're actually only down to the last few.
Right.
Okay. Um, well, if you change your mind, my name's Kate.
Feel free to call me back.
Thank you.
[ Sighs ]
You thought I'd forgotten.
[ Scoffs ] I didn't doubt you for a second, Dad.
It's beautiful. Where did you get it?
Here. The builders found it in the walls.
So, basically, it was free?
Well, if you rented more apartments,
I could spend more money on you.
[ Sighs ] I just think people are struggling
to get past the idea of living in an old asylum.
It's what it is now that matters.
I thought you were going out tonight.
Yes. I was.
Well, happy birthday, love.
Don't forget to lock up on the way out.
Night, Dad.
[ Mobile phone beeping ]
[ Sighs ] Bloody builders!
[ Gasps ]
Hello?
-Kate! -[ Gasps ] Gosh.
Ryan, you scared the life out of me!
-I've been looking for you. -Sorry. I couldn't get away.
You left me alone with Molly and Zoe all night.
There's only so many conversations about horoscopes I can have.
-Zoe's there? -Knew you'd be thrilled.
You'd better have got me a good gift.
-Zoe drank it. -Oh, she's dead!
-At last! -Hi.
Does that mean we can actually go into town finally?
Oh, lovely to see you too, Zoe. Love the bow.
Oh, thanks. I'll let the guys know we're on our way.
-Oh, thank you. -That is lovely.
My dad got it for my birthday.
Well, got it free off the builders.
-Ah, at least he remembered. -'Cause you reminded him.
-Ryan!
-[ Sighs ] -MOLLY: Don't slope off.
RYAN: I don't do clubbing.
MOLLY: It's your birthday. Tell him he has to come out.
Why are you so bothered? Ah, like I can't guess.
[ Shushes ]
Take the glasses off. He'll be at least a seven.
He could be an eight or a nine.
You'd still have absolutely no chance.
Am I not an eight?
I'm just saying, I don't think he's that into girls.
Well, I'm glad you've got it all worked out for him.
Well, if you're that bothered, make a move.
-No, I can't. -"Can't." Why?
Because he's my flatmate.
If he knocks me back, I'm gonna be too mortified
to ever leave my room.
[ Scoffs ]
If you do nothing, you get nothing.
Zoe's waiting. She's got friends that we're meeting.
Zoe's got friends? [ Chuckles ]
You go and meet her.
I'll get changed and try and twist Ryan's arm.
[ Mobile phone beeping ]
[ Screaming ]
-[ Gasping ] -[ Panting ]
-Glasses off. -What for?
'Cause I'm your landlady. It's in your contract.
Small print. You wouldn't be able to read it.
Okay now?
-Kate... -They don't suit you.
[ Giggles ] Come on. Come see.
Kate.
See? You should wear your contacts.
But what's wrong with my glasses?
What's this all about? Since when have you...
I know you've thought about it.
Might as well get it out of the way.
What?
Am I not your type?
It is my birthday.
I'm not going though that graveyard.
-It gives me the creeps. video.
[ Chuckles ] Yeah, but, I mean, what sort of hospital
has its own graveyard?
The sort that doesn't want people asking too many questions
about how its patients died, I guess.
ZOE: Yeah. Bad things happened here. [ Chuckles ]
MOLLY: That doesn't just go away.
You know that feeling like you're being watched?
I get that all the time here.
[ Kate and Ryan breathing heavily ]
-MOLLY: Oh, my God! -ZOE: What?
-Wait here! -Molly?
Kate, is this... Are you messing with me?
[ Moans ]
Kate! Kate!
[ Screams ]
[ Grunts ]
-Jed! -Get off, man!
-Hey! -Leave him alone!
What the hell are you doing here?
I...I thought you were in trouble.
-What? -Who the hell is this, Kate?
-I'm her cousin. -You're not my cousin.
We're not even related.
Jesus!
[ Water dripping ]
[ Screaming ]
[ Gasps ]
[ Door closes ]
[ Sighs ]
[ Opens faucet ]
How long is he staying here for?
I don't know, do I?
-What's the matter with you? -Nothing.
Morning, guys.
[ Sighs ] Some birthday, huh?
For a moment, I thought this was gonna be awkward.
What's up with the windows?
I thought you turned the heat on.
Radiator's scorching.
I haven't touched them.
Don't look at me.
-Jed? -Nope.
I can take a look if you want. I've done a bit of plumbing.
Would you mind?
I mean, contract plumbers are an absolute nightmare, so...
And I could buy you breakfast at the caff
and you could start after that.
-Sounds good. -Thanks.
Molly... I've got something for you.
I can't accept that.
No, take it. It's just so you.
I know you liked it.
Right. Got to go.
Kate... Kate, about last night...
I'm sorry, Ryan.
Right.
I mean, you don't really want me, do you?
I shouldn't have done it. You deserve so much better.
Fine.
Whatever.
[ Exhales deeply ]
[ Beep ]
-So, how long you been out? -Yesterday.
You didn't escape or anything?
-Well, it's not prison. -My God. You escaped.
Are you still on medication?
Are you taking your medication?
I was discharged from hospital, okay? I'm well.
Okay. So...
Does that mean you don't see them anymore?
I said I'm well.
-Hey. -Hi.
You know I asked you to look at my laptop?
-Yeah. -It's fine now. Fixed itself.
Computers don't fix themselves. I did it.
You're a star.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
I'm cool.
You know, if he thinks he's gonna stay here,
we've got to put up a united front.
I don't know. It might be kind of nice having him around.
Oh, God!
Anyway, I can promise you
that Jed staying is never gonna happen.
-How did you work that one out? -Because...
I mean, it's obvious he's got issues,
mental problems, whatever you want to call it.
And believe me they're not the sort of family
who can deal with stuff like that.
So, they are cousins? 'Cause she said...
Jed's adopted.
Kate reckons it's this massive stroke of bad luck
that he landed on them.
-Why? What's wrong with him? -He sees ghosts.
[ Sniggers ]
Bedlam Heights?
Who came up with that? Uncle Warren?
Well, it sounded better than
The Bettany Hospital for Idiots and Imbeciles.
And you think I'm the sick one?
It was our family's building.
Dad wanted it back and he wanted it to be something good.
I agree with him.
Even after it ended the way it did?
Don't you think you'd be better of...
No, I'm not going home, Kate.
-What's at home for me? -What's here for you?
Look...
[ Sighs ]
I know I've upset people in the past, all right.
I know I've upset you, and...
Look... Don't flatter yourself.
I can't be responsible for you, Jed.
Well, I need somewhere to stay, so...
-Jed... -Just for a couple of days.
Look, it's not gonna happen, okay?
Why? What are you frightened of?
Look, uh... I need to be here, okay?
Please.
Okay.
Just for a couple of nights. And that's it.
[ Sighs ]
Okay.
Come to see my building, Jed?
I assume it's the building. Nothing else.
I don't think I got your Get Well card, Uncle Warren.
Must have got lost in the post.
-Your mum's been on the phone. -Yeah?
Wants you to put me away again, does she?
She was talking me out of it.
Seems she doesn't think it was doing you any good.
I'm sure she's right.
Like you've ever paid attention to what Mum thinks.
Well, at the end of the day, you're family.
-No, I don't want that. -Take it.
You'll be gone before we know it.
Any problems, any funny voices in your head...
You come to me.
-I'm better now, Uncle Warren. -[ Chuckles ]

[ Loud bang ]
[ Banging continues ]
-God! -Sorry. Is this bothering you?
No, it's fine. You keep banging away.
I mean... God, sorry. Uh, you know what I mean.
Where are all my postcards from your travels, Mol?
Nobody sends postcards anymore.
Right.
-So, you're not working today? -No.
-I'm between jobs at the minute. -Oh.
-Lucky you. -Mmm.
So, what's the problem?
Probably a crap boiler installed by a cowboy.
You know what a tight-fisted cheapskate Warren is.
Yeah, must have slipped my mind when I was signing the contract.
[ Chuckles ] He must be charging you an arm and a leg for this place.
Well, Kate pretty much covers it for me.
Right.
So, are you planning on...
Yeah, I'll be gone soon. Don't worry.
Oh, no... I don't mind you staying.
Whatever she says.
I could use someone else to help me keep an eye on her.
Well, I don't think Ryan's too keen on the idea, to be honest.
He's having a hard time at the moment.
It's coming up to a year since his brother died.
What happened?
He drowned.
[ Water dripping ]
Whew!
[ Man screams ]
[ Mid-tempo music playing ]
[ Gasping ]
RYAN: What happened to your neck?
I'm dating the Boston Strangler.
Didn't I tell you?
[ Chuckles ]
I got my necklace caught in the sink.
Nearly drowned. You know, that kinda thing.
-Nice. -Mmm.
Are you all right?
About your brother, I mean.
Yeah.
What are you gonna do on the day?
Go to Mass with Mum.
Probably spend the day together. It's easier that way.
-That smells good. -I hope so.
There's beer in the fridge, Jed.
[ Mid-tempo music playing ]
[ Bottles rattling ]
Sorry about last night.
To be honest, I think you did me a favour.
Turned up before I made an even bigger dick of myself.
[ Chuckles ]
-[ Bottles clink ] -Cheers.
Yeah, Kate's done some pretty stupid stuff in her time.
So, what's it like living in this place?
What do you mean?
Well, you know Kate's granddad ran the asylum?
Yeah.
And that they shut them down.
-Abuse of patients. -What, Kate's granddad?
Mmm. Reckoned it had been going on for years.
-Did he go down for it? -Nope.
He died before they could get him to court.
Oh, my God. So, why the hell would they come back?
Thank God one of us can cook. It's delicious.
-Thank you. -I'll be after you for seconds.
So, Mol, tell me. How'd the job interview go?
I turned up. That's about it.
You didn't say that bit
about you thinking of going travelling, did you?
Just because you've never been anywhere
that doesn't have a beach next to the hotel complex.
Mol's been everywhere. Vietnam. Hippie trail.
-Job centre. -Ha-ha.
She can do a mean henna tattoo.
Well, it's more than I got.
[ Sighs ]
Not really going travelling, are you, Mol?
You just like putting it out there?
You brought it up.
It's just, you've fallen on your feet here.
I mean, it's luxury. Why would you want to leave?
Well, you never know who you might bump into at three in the morning.
We can't all live like nuns, Mol.
I don't care what you do.
I don't.
I just would really like, for once,
not to have to pick up the pieces afterwards.
Okay.
Right. I'm gonna go for a drink.
Okay.
[ Door opens ]
[ Door closes ]
-Hi, Emma. Is Zoe in? -Have you seen her?
No, I was just wondering if she fancied going for a drink.
It's been one of those days.
What, has she not been in touch, text or anything?
No. Have you not heard from her?
No, not since yesterday evening.
She said she was going into town with someone.
Yeah, me. We were waiting for my flatmate.
Right. And did she talk about how the rent was due today?
-Do you think she's okay? -You know what I think?
I think she's done a runner before I could chuck her out.
Okay. Well, if I hear anything...
Don't bother.
[ Water dripping ]
[ Door closes ]
-Quick drink. -Yeah. Strange.
MOLLY: Zoe never got home last night.
Zoe's gone?
Oh, and there was me thinking the night had ended badly.
It's like she just disappeared.
She's only been away for one night.
Away where?
I left her outside. Said I'd only be a minute.
She's probably crashed out on someone's floor.
She said she felt like she was being watched.
The whole thing's really weird. I don't like it.
She'll be fine, Mol.

Help!

RYAN: How long are you gonna be?
[ Screams ]
[ Gasping ]
What's the matter? Are you all right?
[ Breathing heavily ] Yeah, I'm fine.
Has Kate said something?
-What's she said? -Nothing.
Sorry.
[ Door closes ]
[ Door opens ]
[ Door closes ]
[ Water dripping ]
Coffee?
-Ryan's brother... What happened to him? -What?
Where was it he drowned? In the canal?
How did you know that?
Was it an accident or what, Molly?
Why are you getting so hung up on this?
[ Chuckles ] I'm not, okay.
It's like when we were kids
and that old woman down the road died.
You went on and on about her husband
putting rat poison in her soup.
Well, he had.
He was just a nice old man who'd lost his wife.
It was ant poison, actually,
'cause rat poison makes your guts explode.
That was the other guy.
I don't scare as easy as I used to.
So, if I said there were two ghosts in this flat,
and one of them wants to do some serious harm
but I don't know why, you wouldn't take me seriously?
[ Sniggers ]
You're so easy to wind up, Molly!
[ Sighs ]
[ Water dripping ]
Hello. I have a reservation under the name of McAllister.
I asked for a specific table.
You can text your answer --
[ Indistinct talking on TV ]
-I was just passing. -Were you following me?
-Who are you waiting for? -No one.
No one?
It was the last time I saw my brother.
A year ago, at this table. The day he died.
I'll leave you to it.
Well, let's face it. He's not sat there, is he?
So you might as well.
Do you want a beer?
[ Humming ]
Great at sport. Went to uni with Kate.
Got a first.
Nightmare little brother.
We don't know why he went down to the canal.
Probably a bit pissed. Took the wrong way home.
They followed him.
I don't know why they kicked his head in.
They said they didn't mean him to drown, but they let him.
Acquitted of murder. GBH.
Eight years. Probably out in four.
The Bereavement Counsellor's
asked me to write a letter to him.
Leave it at the place where he died.
I just bloody did it, as well.
I felt like a right idiot.
As if he's going to read it.
Do you see ghosts?
[ Clears throat ] Did Kate tell you that?
Something like that. Is it true?
Kate talks a lot of crap.
You can tell me. I'm not like her.
-I'll listen to you. -[ Chuckles ]
Another beer?
-[ Music playing on headphones ] -[ Humming ]
-And she was how old? -Oh, I don't know. Nine.
She hasn't changed.
She said I could stay here cheap,
if I installed broadband for her,
-Yeah. -and do me a favour
'cause she went to uni with my brother.
She didn't say it would take three months!
[ Jed chuckles ]
JED: Yeah, she's, um, she's a one-off.
-You too. -Why?
-You see things. -Ryan, look...
I saw how you were in that bathroom.
It was like you were having a fit or something.
-Could you speak to him? -[ Mobile phone beeping ]
My brother James.
Er... It doesn't work like that.
Well, how does it work?
'Cause there's stuff I never said.
Oh, no.
[ Beeping continues ]
Jed?
[ Gasps ]
[ Screams ]
[ All shouting indistinctly ]
[ Gasps ]
Jed, what's the matter?
It's got nothing to do with your brother.
What?
It's not to do with your brother.
What about my brother?
[ Screams ]
Kate!
[ Shrieks ]
[ Gasps ]
[ Breathing heavily ]
You just want this, don't you?
We didn't take it from you.
No one's keeping you here. You're free.
You can go now.
[ Grunts ]
[ Panting ]
Kate, come on.
[ Coughing ]
-It's all right. -[ Sobbing ]
You're okay.
[ Panting ]
[ Coughs ]
You mustn't fall asleep in the water.
JED: It's okay.
[ Door closes ]
Kate, what happened?
Oh, come here.
[ Shushes ] It's okay. You're okay.
You were talking to someone.
But I couldn't see anyone.
She was a patient.
They ducked her underwater to drive out evil spirits.
What was wrong with her?
Probably fancied someone she shouldn't,
and her husband got her put away.
What did you mean about... You said...
I don't just see ghosts, Ryan.
I see how they died.
How did you know I was in trouble?
Jed...
Stay.
I know you don't want to go home.
I just wanted to make sure you were okay.
And I guess you are.
Am I?
