Hi. How you doing, sweetie?
Come on in.
I already prepared
everything for you...
just the way you like it.
Jeez, it's so hot tonight.
Are you ready?
You want me to play dead?
Do you want me to die, honey?
Please. Please, let me die for you.
Why did you close the windows?
You know I don't scream.
What are you doing, honey?
What's that?
You're hurting me!
Get off! Oh, God!
Please, help me!
What do you know about the killer?
We know he's a male, probably aged...
Is there a possibility
there's more than one killer?
No comment.
- You sound confident.
- I am.
- Do we know the killer's race?
- Not definitive.
We are analysing skin samples
taken from underneath
the fingernails of the victims.
Results will help to determine
the killer's race.
Is it true the police aren't
interested in finding the killers
because the victims
were prostitutes?
The suggestion that we're not
treating this case diligently
is not only false but offensive.
We've already spent
What do you know about the killer?
I can't tell you
all that we know, but he's male...
- You got the job. That job?
- Yeah.
Jesus.
That sounds disgusting.
Don't you think? Don't you think
it's just disgusting?
All I gotta do is sit on my ass
all night and read a book.
- You're drinking too much.
- He's already very drunk.
I think one person
is responsible for these crimes.
- Why do you say that?
- That's my business.
That's all I got to do.
I just got to sit on my ass.
Sit on my ass!
Inspector.
Is it true the police aren't
interested in finding the killers
because the victims
were prostitutes?
The suggestion that we're
not treating this case diligently
is not only false but offensive.
- Is there more than one killer?
- My feeling is one killer.
- Do you know the killer's race?
- Not definitive.
We are analysing skin samples
taken from underneath
the fingernails of the victims.
Results of those tests...
- Is there more than one killer?
- No comment.
Staying over tonight?
- Do you want me to?
- Do you want to?
If you want me to.
Marie, if I've ever done anything
to make you happy, I truly apologise.
These markings could have occurred
after death while the body was...
Sources have confirmed
that the victims were sexually
Is there more than one killer?
It's gotten so hard
to talk her into things.
She's become less and less...
receptive.
- When will the results come in?
- Soon. Maybe tomorrow.
That guy's supposed to be amazing.
- We can't tell the public every...
- Receptive to what?
Were the victims
sexually assaulted?
What do you think of the killer?
I think his time is running out.
Katherine!
Katherine?
I'm in the bathroom!
What?
Nothing.
You had strange dreams last night.
I did?
You were breathing really heavy.
You kept kicking your legs
and moaning.
- You sure we weren't having sex?
- Pretty sure, yeah.
- Call me and tell me how it went.
- Yeah.
- Good night.
- Night.
Mr Johnson?
Mr Johnson.
- How did you get in?
- The front door was open.
Damn door never closes.
So, this is you?
- Oh, yeah, this is me.
- Welcome to Mars.
- Sorry?
- They weren't kidding you.
About what?
I'll leave you the coffee machine.
The radio is mine.
- You got a radio?
- No.
Get yourself a radio.
What did they tell you exactly?
Not a lot.
Now there's very few people around,
but at night,
this place is like Mars.
- So, what have you heard?
- Pardon?
What exactly
did they tell you about me?
- Nothing. They told me nothing.
- Come on. They told you why I quit.
No, honestly, not at all.
May we come in?
Turn the key till you hear the click.
It registers on a piece of punch tape
verifying you were here every hour.
- I see.
- Do you?
Thank God we don't need to check
this room. The key's outside.
Come, have a look.
It's all right. Come on.
- You know what's in those tubs?
- No. What?
Smell the formaldehyde.
You can smell it, can't you?
You should never go in there. Never.
I never have.
Disgusting.
- So, I'll be alone here at night.
- Didn't they tell you?
Sometimes, an ambulance or police
comes in, but apart from that,
it's just you...
and them.
The morgue.
I don't know why
they put a key in there.
The hell with it.
Let's get on with it.
Just keep your eyes on the key.
Just keep looking at it.
Don't look at them.
Damned idiots. Why in the hell
did they put a key in here?
What are the cords for?
Just a precaution,
in case one of them wakes up.
- If you pull it, the alarm goes off.
- Wakes up?
Then you call the duty doctor
from the guard's station.
He'll be here in five minutes.
Don't worry. It'll never happen.
It's cold in here, but you can
still smell 'em, can't you?
Yeah.
Make sure the door doesn't close.
No handle on the inside.
- Why would it close?
- And turn out the lights.
This is where it happened,
supposedly.
What?
Some years ago, scandal,
terrible scandal.
Night watchman.
Many years ago...
he did it.
- He did it?
- Did it with them.
- You mean...
- The guy had his very own harem.
Well, I never knew anything about it
firsthand, but the rumour was,
They hushed the whole thing up.
Who knows? Lots of weirdos out here.
God.
I'm not a weirdo.
After you've worked here a while,
your breath'll begin to stink.
You can test it by holding your
hand up to your mouth and breathe.
Am I right?
Oh, Jesus! You're right.
Goes with the territory.
Nothing you can do about it.
These are the staff files.
We're all in here somewhere.
Dead ones, over there.
Staff, over here.
Meaningless.
Here's your duty roster.
You'll come on at eight,
be relieved at four.
- Is that the alarm from...?
- It'll never happen.
Have you got a radio?
- Actually, I'm gonna study.
- Get a radio.
- Like I said, I'll get a radio.
- Good.
Who is that picture of?
I don't know. It's always been there.
Oh, one more thing.
There's nothing
to be afraid of, but...
I think it'd be
a good thing to have.
And then the radio...
It'd be a good idea
to buy yourself a radio.
OK.
You have a choice
of seeing two movies.
One, 90 action-packed minutes
of two heroes spending time together
having these incredible adventures.
The other movie has 45 minutes of
one hero having incredible adventures
and the other 45 minutes
is a guy sitting at a desk,
reading a book, OK?
Which one do you go see?
Who's playing the guy
reading the book?
There is definitely
loss of consortium,
- What happened to us?
- What?
I can't breathe in here.
Why the f*** are we here?
- Getting older.
- We're dying.
- Same thing.
- No, no, no.
You know this movie
I was talking about?
The two heroes start
challenging each other.
- Really?
- Yes. The one who backs down loses.
Why would they want to do that?
Because they're dying
and they wanna play
before they end up in bed
with the establishment.
