Long Time Dead Page #2

- What's a djinn?

- Jesus Christ.

- What happened?

- I'm never doing that again.

It's just one of these guys pissing around.

Have you been practising that?

- Don't look at me.

- What happened to Liam?

- He's probably pissing himself right now.

- I better go and find him.

Jesus, Lucy,

what the hell happened there?

I don't know.

Sometimes spirits try to scare you.

- Well, it worked.

- We should just get away from here.

Am I the only one who enjoyed it?

Liam, what happened?

- You really freaked everyone out.

- It's nothing. I'm all right.

- Come on, you can tell me.

- Nothing happened, all right?!

No, come on.

You know how important you are.

I just don't wanna dump

all my f***ed-up stuff on you.

Liam.

I want all of you.

Yeah?

- No, I can't.

- Put it on your chain.

I want you to have it, OK?

- I'm sorry.

- It's all right. It's OK.

- Where's your inhaler?

- Downstairs.

- Well, let's go down.

- No. It's nice up here.

I'll be back in a minute.

Agh!

Sh*t!

Sh*t.

How'd it get there?

Rob, I know it's you!

This isn't f***ing funny!

Annie.

Liam!

Liam!

Liam!

Sh*t!

Where are you?!

Please!

Help me!

Rob, are you sure it's all right

me staying here tonight?

I mean, people don't really want

a stranger hanging around after...

You live here now, mate.

Sorry, mate.

I know you and her were, like...

Look, I'm all right.

Come on.

- We got any of that grass left?

- No.

I need some. My heart's

beating like a f***ed watch.

- For Christ's sake, Spence.

- Sorry.

Look, maybe I should go and see

McCann, see if I can get something.

What, now?

You're just gonna go and leave me?

- Yeah. Come with me. It won't take long.

- Spence, I'm in shock.

My friend has just died.

All right.

Well, she was my friend, too, but

I really need something to calm me down.

Lucy, come with me.

I'll be ten minutes, OK?

Bet you wish you'd never

taken the room now.

We won't contact bad spirits, will we?

"A djinn's natural form

is composed of fire,

although it may possess a human

if summoned without a shaman. "

"One can cure the possession

with a banishing. "

Don't take your fiinger

off the glass until I say so.

Why?

We'll be slamming the door shut

before the spirit can return to his world.

- No!

- No, don't!

Sh*t!

Oh, God help us.

Spence?

Spence?

Sh*t!

Oh, sh*t!

What you doin'?

- Spence, is that you?!

- What you doin' on my boat?

- You want trouble, you found it!

- Chill out.

- Yeah?

- Who are you?

- I came to tell you the electric's down.

- I'm not connected to the electric.

I didn't know that, did I? I'm just

trying to help you out, you stupid cow.

Get off.

Whoa.

Hey, he really scared you, didn't he?

It wasn't him.

There was something here.

- It was that bloke wandering around.

- No. It was something else.

Spence, I don't wanna be here any more.

All right.

Let's get your stuff. Come on.

Couldn't you sleep?

I went out.

To get some cigarettes.

I just kept thinking...

if only I'd gone with her.

I must have walked straight past her.

You're right.

We shouldn't tell them.

It's best. You're already shaken up.

Look, don't think about it

and don't say anything.

- All right?

- All right, mate?

We didn't wanna stay on the boat.

- Are you all right?

- Yeah.

It's just I think we should all

be together tonight, don't you?

Yeah, definitely. Come in.

Cheers.

- How'd she get the burns?

- Can we not think about that now?

I can't help wondering

what was going through her head.

She'd still be alive if we hadn't messed

around with things we didn't understand.

- Stella, that doesn't make sense.

- No?

No. Annie was killed by some psycho on

the roof. We didn't invite him to that party.

- Are you saying there's no connection?

- You think there is?

- You felt it. We all felt it!

- Stella, leave it. You're out of it.

- There was something in that room.

- No, there wasn't, Stella. Calm down.

- I can't believe you're trying to deny it!

- Stella's right!

Something tried to attack me tonight.

What?

- What do you mean "something"?

- I don't know.

I just felt something.

Whatever it was.

Well, did you see anything?

- What did you see exactly?

- Nothing.

Look, it's not something I can explain.

I didn't have to see anything

to know something was there.

- Lucy, you're in shock. Maybe...

- No.

The Ouija board

spelt out the word "djinn".

- And?

- A djinn is a fire demon.

Fire demon! Give me a f***ing break!

She's playing with our heads!

Chill out.

Luce?

Someone who's killed by a djinn

has these terrible burns.

I've seen pictures.

It's just like what happened to Annie.

Look, everybody's really freaked out,

and this crap is not helping.

The djinn is bound to whoever calls it.

Until that person's dead,

it can never be free.

We all called it.

- It's coming after all of us?

- Wait a minute. Wait a minute!

Now, if somebody was moving the glass,

they should say something right now.

Well, we got the whole thing on tape.

The camera doesn't lie.

D.

- I.

- "All die. "

F***!

- Whoever's doing this, stop it.

- Who are you? Who are you?!

Is somebody moving it?

All I know is it wasn't me

and it wasn't Lucy, all right?

We should never have done it.

No, don't!

Man, that was weird.

Why did he just freak out like that?

- What now?

- It's OK, guys. Don't worry.

- It's all right. I'm here.

- You all right?

Don't worry, guys. It's just a fuse.

It blows all the time.

- Where's the fuse box?

- Downstairs in Becker's flat. I'll wake him.

I'll come with you.

It's all right. It's just a fuse.

Mr Becker?

Mr Becker!

Think he's here?

He keeps really weird hours.

Oi, oi.

Hey, go for it.

I don't live here. How's it gonna look?

- Besides, I've got two previous.

- You do?

Yeah, but don't say anything to Lucy.

She don't know, all right?

- Go on.

- Whatever.

That's it.

Easy. Whoa, whoa. F***in' hell, man.

Sh*t, Spence!

- Jesus!

- Easy, man.

- What are you doin', bro?

- I just...

I couldn't resist a bit of

breaking and entering.

Let's find the fuse box.

- What do we do?

- Shut up. Get under there.

Don't...

Holy sh*t!

- You better come down and see this.

- What?

Come on!

Look, it's that word. Djinn.

What's he doing

with a Ouija board?

Jesus Christ. Satan worshipping.

Hey, sh.

That's Liam.

"Paul Brennan,

accused of multiple murder. "

Argh!

"Multiple murders in Morocco.

Demon worshipper charged. "

- Right, we should call the police.

- I don't understand.

Why did the police want Becker?

Is anybody gonna

tell me what happened?

The fuse went on the house.

- I broke into Becker's to turn it back on.

- He knows about your parents.

My parents?

- Why'd you say they died in a car crash?

- They did.

- Why didn't you want me to know?

- Know what?

1979, a group of demon worshippers

were in Morocco.

Eight go out. Two come back.

One was Becker.

Now, who was charged with murder?

Paul Brennan, father of Liam.
