A Look Inside: The Others Page #6

---

why?

why did you have

to go to that stupid war...

that had nothing to do with us ?

why couldn 't you have

stayed here like the others ?

The others surrendered.

we all surrendered!

The whole island was occupied!

what did you expect?

[Sighs]

what were you trying to prove

by going to war?

Your place was here with us.

with your family.

[Sighs]

: I loved you.

That was enough for me.

Living in this darkness...

In this prison.

But not for you.

I wasn 't enough for you.

That's why you left.

[Crying]

It wasn 't just the war.

You want to leave me, don 't you?

[Sighs]

ohh.

[gasps]

[Screaming]

Anne!

Nicholas!

[Children screaming]

[Screaming]

what is it? what--

ohh! ohh!

[Screaming]

oh, my god!

Here! oh, my god!

oh! oh!

Here!

oh!

Aah!

where are the curains ?

[Screaming]

GRACE:
Mrs Mills!

Let me see. Let me see.

oh, you're all right!

You're all right!

I want my daddy!

[Crying]

Daddy's gone.

It's not true!

Yes, it is.

It is true.

[Sobbing]

I love you, Mummy.

[Sighs]

Find the curains.

who was it?

who did this ?

Tell me!

Tell me!

[Struggling]

You know what's happening here!

You know because

it happened to you, too!

You 'll tell me.

You write it down.

write it down! Please!

MRS MILLS :
That attitude

won 't solve anything, ma 'am.

Anyway, she can 't write.

- where are they?

- what?

The curains!

The curains

my children 's lives depend on!

Someone has taken the curains!

I have noticed, ma 'am.

There 's no need for you

to raise your voice.

oh, Mr Tuttle. I was just

on the point of calling you.

Did you know that someone

has taken all the curains ?

The curains ?

oh, dear.

why should anyone want

to take all the curains ?

To let some daylight

into this house, I imagine.

Daylight. of course.

Someone wants to kill

my children.

why do you think that

the daylight would kill them ?

Are you mad?

I told you.

I already told you!

The children are photosensitive!

The light will kill them!

Yes, but that was before.

The condition could have

cleared up by itself.

If you never

expose them to daylight...

how do you know

they're not cured?

My sister-in-law had terrible

attacks of rheumatism...

in her legs and back.

Then one fine day...

they disappeared.

I am going

to find those curains...

and when you have finished

helping me hang them...

you will leave this house!

And what about the master,

ma 'am ?

what has he got to say

about all of this ?

give me your keys.

I want your keys now!

I know what you want.

You want to frighten us.

You want to get us out,

me and my children.

You 've wanted

to take over this house...

ever since the first day

you arrived.

Now, you give me those keys.

I will not ask again.

You should

try and calm down, ma 'am.

give me the keys.

give them to me.

And now get out of here.

[Door closes]

You know something, Mr Tuttle ?

I think I've reached

the end of my tether.

what about you?

oh, yes. Definitely.

we 'd better go and uncover

the gravestones.

[Clattering]

[Keys rattling]

[Footsteps]

[Door slams]

what's Mummy doing?

I've already told you.

She 's gone mad.

Liar.

-She 's gone mad!

-Liar, liar!

Night-time.

where are you going?

I've had enough.

I'm going into the woods

to look for Daddy.

Are you going to run away?

If I hang onto the pipe,

I can climb down to the ground.

It's very easy.

[wind whistling]

NICHOLAS :
If Mummy finds out,

you 're in for it.

ANNE:
Yes, yes, yes.

NICHOLAS :
Anne, wait!

I want to come and look

for Daddy, too.

Liar. You just don 't want

to be left on your own.

Scaredy-pants, scaredy-pants!

Be quiet!

[Thumping]

[Noise]

Anne, I think we got lost.

we still haven 't

left the garden yet, silly.

-I'm scared.

-Shouldn 't have come, then.

-Say something.

- what shall I say?

I don 't know. Anything.

Let's see.

My name is Anne and I'm walking.

I'm walking

and my name is Anne.

[Creaking]

what's that over there ?

I think they're graves.

Don 't go near!

why not?

what if a ghost jumps out?

graves don 't have ghosts.

only skeletons.

[Sighs]

There 's something written here.

NICHOLAS :
Let's go!

wait! [Brushing]

[gasps]

oh!

Anne! what does it say?

[gasps]

MRS MILLS :
You must be

strong now, children.

ANNE:
Nicholas, come here!

Mrs Mills, please don 't

tell Mummy we 've run away.

Don 't speak to them!

why?

- They're dead!

- what?

ANNE:
They're ghosts!

Please come here!

Children!

ANNE:
Nicholas!

They're ghosts ?

why aren 't they wearing sheets

and clanking chains ?

You said that--

I don 't care what I said!

Get away from them!

You 're always teasing me

and telling lies...

and I'm sick of it!

I'm not teasing you!

I'm telling the truth!

Come here!

[gasps]

Quick!

Aah! Mum! Mum!

Children!

[Screaming]

GRACE:
Pun!

Pun!

go! Into the house!

GRACE:
Don 't come any closer!

Don 't move! [Panting]

MRS MILLS:

Don 't trouble yourself, ma 'am.

Tuberculosis finished us off...

more than half a century ago.

[Keys rattling]

[Locks door]

GRACE:
go away!

[Doorknob rattling]

MRS MILLS :

open the door, ma 'am. Please.

what do you want?

Mummy, don 't open the door.

Don 't.

we 've seen their graves.

go upstairs and hide.

-go on.

-I'm scared.

ohh!

Don 't separate! oh!

ohh!

whatever you do, don 't separate.

go hide. go. go.

MRS MILLS :
we 've been trying

to make you understand.

Understand what?

About the house.

About the new situation.

GRACE:
what situation ?

we must all learn

to live together...

the living and the dead.

ohh!

If you 're dead,

leave us in peace!

oh. Leave us in peace!

GRACE:
[Echoing]

Leave us in peace!

In here. get inside.

MRS MILLS:

And suppose we do leave you.

Do you think they will?

who ?

The intruders.

There are no intruders.

MR TUTTLE:

They took the curains down.

There are no intruders.

oh, yes,

I assure you it was them.

And now they're in there

with you and the children.

- waiting for you.

-No!

Yes. And believe me,

sooner or later...

they'll find you.

Listen, wait here,

and I'll be back in a minute.

No, no, no. Mummy said

we shouldn 't separate.

we can 't leave her on her own.

[Panting]

Stop breathing like that.

[Breathing]

Nicholas,

stop breathing like that.

Stop breathing!

[Breathing]

Can 't you hear it?

There 's someone there.

woMAN:
Come with us, children.

Come with us.

[Screaming]

Aah!

Nicholas ?

Anne ?

where are you?

Answer me!

MRS MILLS :

The intruders have found them.

MR TUTTLE:

There 's nothing we can do now.

MRS MILLS:
You'll have to go

upstairs and talk to them.

[gasping]

[Pattling]

our Father,

who ar in Heaven...

hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come...

Thy will be done on earh...

as it is in Heaven.

give us this day

our daily bread...

and forgive us

our trespasses...

[Nicholas whimpering]

woMAN:

why are you afraid, children ?

why don 't you want us

to be your friends ?

[whimpering]

Come on. Speak to us.

Speak to us.

Tell me what happened.
