Psychosis Page #2

I'm sure there's an explanation.

Go in the house

and lock the door.

Please, go in the house

and lock the door.

I'll be a minute.

Just lock the door, darling.

Hey, kid!

Susan!

Come here for a sec.

I've got someone for you to meet.

Come on.

Susan, I'd like to introduce you

to Mr. Peck.

He's our gamekeeper.

Pleased to meet you, Miss.

It's okay, darling, look.

Peck's brought us some game today.

Nice, huh?

We need to talk. Now.

Hey, look, darling,

I think whatever happened

was just a simple

misunderstanding.

He was more scared than you was.

Who the hell is this guy?

I told you. Mr. Peck.

Look, before we came, I took him

on as our gamekeeper, okay?

He's a local, and he's worked

this estate for years.

He's a creep.

He flashed me.

He what?

Darling, are you positive

that's what you saw?

Look, I know him.

He's ex-army.

He's fought everywhere

in the last 10 years,

Afghanistan, Baghdad, Basra...

Oh, yeah?

Well, whose side was he on?

Come on, you know it makes them

a little funny.

But it's good sense

to have someone around.

A bit of extra security

for the place when I'm away.

Why wouldn't you tell me

you brought somebody on

to watch the grounds?

It must've slipped my mind.

But he's a good bloke.

Oh, he's a good bloke?

A good bloke who fucks some girl

in the middle of the woods,

like an animal?

Come on, you know what

these country folk are like.

Come on.

David... David, wake up.

- What?

- Wake up.

There's someone downstairs.

I can hear them.

Let me go downstairs.

Go.

No! No!

Susan, let me in.

What's the matter?

What's the matter?

Baby, look at me, breathe.

- What's wrong?

- There's a man in the hall.

Where?

There's no one in the hall.

Baby, I promise you. Look at me.

There's nobody in the hall.

They'd have to have passed me.

Open your eyes.

Susan, look at me, darling.

Breathe.

It's okay.

There's no one now.

I promise you.

There's nobody there.

It's all right, darling.

It's okay.

It's okay, don't worry.

There was somebody there.

It's nice to see a fire

in this old hearth again.

Well, we've checked everywhere.

No sign of a break-in.

Well, there has to be. I saw him.

He had to get in here somehow.

You say there's nothing missing?

Well, there's nothing I can see.

Right, then, all I can do is report it.

Not much else, I'm afraid.

Hey, I didn't imagine it.

I'm not suggesting that you did.

All I'm saying is that

the only evidence we have,

or the only thing we can go on,

is your description.

Sure, I mean, I only saw him

for a second, but...

Yes.

Quite.

Well, naturally,

you'll keep us informed if -

if we get murdered in our beds,

I'll be sure to let you know.

Your business take you away

from the house most days?

Yeah, I commute to London.

- Oh, big smoke.

- Yeah.

What's your line?

Corporate events.

Oh, right.

Well, what's that, then?

Well, I organize events

like car shows

and functions and networking,

mostly for executives.

Oh.

Well...

It's a big old house

you've taken on here.

I dare say it'll take

some getting used to.

My suggestion is, uh,

you change the locks.

That's it?!

It's a good idea as a precaution.

Exactly.

Peace of mind.

Good night.

Hey, babe.

Hey.

Is this the same lock

as the other door?

Aye.

Cheers.

There you go.

Feel safer now?

Yeah.

What a way to spend a day,

changing all the locks.

Still, no one will be

able to get in now, right?

You know, I was thinking.

Do you think it was maybe

one of the construction workers?

Because they had a key, right?

Maybe.

Well, don't you think

that we should tell that detective?

Look, if you want to start

pestering him, okay.

But I don't, all right?

What's gotten into you?

I'm going to go work

in the garden.

Hello?

Hi, Susan.

It's Charles.

Hi.

I'm back in London, honey.

Opened the new office,

so just checking in.

How's the country air suiting you?

It's great, it's great, um...

You know,

I'm racing through the book.

It's all fitting together.

Listen, why don't you e-mail me

what you've done recently?

I'd love to have a sneak proofread.

I - I don't know, Charles.

Well, yeah, yeah, maybe, okay.

Just let me tighten it up a bit.

Sure. Whenever you're ready,

just fire it over.

I will. Okay.

Listen, Charles, I've got to go.

I'm right in the middle of it.

- And I'll call you, okay?

- Okay, Sue.

- Speak soon, then.

- Great.

I'll get it.

Hello?

Whoa

So, we're going to play, um... no.

Not that one.

Whichever way you want

to give it, whoo!

We got to try

not to let this thing die

Ooh, I love you so much

That was work.

That's Joe Lemer.

You know how he asked me to work

with him on that Swiss finance deal?

So, I'll be staying

up in London tomorrow.

Oh. When are you coming back?

Well, I'll be back the day

after tomorrow,

unless we have

any complications.

Why do you always jump

every time he calls?

Why don't you have

one of the other guys do it?

I mean, we just got here.

He likes me.

We work well together.

And if this deal goes well,

it could be a start of a partnership.

Sure, but...

Remember how many times that you

had to fly over here from the States?

He never reimbursed you for that.

I mean, you never seem to see

any money from these deals.

Look, we don't need the money.

You don't even need to do this job.

Susan, you've got your career.

Now, let me get on with mine.

Honey, I just...

I feel a bit scared here

all on my own.

There's nothing to be afraid

of here, sweetheart.

- It's all in -

- In my mind?!

No!

But this is a big thing for you,

coming here and everything.

Your friends are thousands

of miles away,

and your creative mind's

running loose.

My creative mind?

All right, is it happening again?

All this hearing things and stuff?

No. It is not happening again, David.

'Cause I don't think I could take it.

Not right now, you know?

Well, it's not happening again.

What's wrong?

Darling, what is it?

Had a...

A bad dream or something.

Okay.

The bath's

running for you, babe.

You was out like a light last night.

All right, better get going.

My train leaves in an hour, yeah?

I'll put some coffee on for you.

Hello?!

Hey!

What do you want?

David called me

from the train station.

Asked me to keep you company,

stay by the house tonight.

Well, he didn't say anything

to me about that.

Aye. He wanted to make sure

you're okay.

I'll make us

a nice country stew for tea.

Tea?

Aye, you know,

food, dinner for tonight.

It's okay, I'm not a bad cook.

Great. So, it went well?

It's been a good day,

getting everything done, you know?

And we sorted out a company car.

Oh, I'm happy for you.

So, I don't need to pick you up

from the station then, right?

Yeah.

Picking it up late afternoon.

I'll be coming straight back.

I can't talk for long.

Lemer and the Swiss

are in the next room.

All right, well, I'm going to go,

but I miss you,

and I can't wait to see you.

Me, too.

Have a nice dinner with Peck, okay?
