The Black Room Page #4

Karen?

No, ma'am. I'm Leo,

with flow plumbers.

-Right.

-I received a call

the other day.

Of course, yes.

My husband called you.

Come on in.

Thank you.

Something about the water pipes

and a washing machine.

We're dying out.

It's this way, in the basement.

Let's take a look

at the little monster.

Oh, you're out. Great!

Where are you going?

I got to go to the store.

We just got

a huge shipment of books.

I thought we were

gonna have a little fun time.

We will, when I get back

and the plumbers gone.

I promise you, we will have

tons of make-up time.

When's the plumber coming?

He's here already.

You called him, remember?

If he needs anything,

you'll take care of him, right?

Yes, I will take care of him.

Okay... see you tonight.

Hello?

Somebody out there?

Mr. hemdale?

Ah, there's nobody out there.

Hi, there.

Hi.

Uh, I didn't know

anyone else was down here.

- I'm the plumber, Leo.

I just came to fix the--

Washing machine.

Holy sh*t!

Wha-- hi.

-Look, it's not that I don't

appreciate the offer, but--

-mm hmm.

I need you inside of me.

Who are you?

Okay, wait, stop okay.

Wait, just wait.

Look, I said... oh, Jesus!

I'm definitely getting fired.

Come on!

You're so f***ing hot!

No one's ever

going to believe this!

No one will ever find out.

Get off me!

Give me his keys.

I need to move his car.

And now, take him inside.

She needs nourishment.

It's coming soon.

You did well, Karen.

Paul, hey.

Hey, what happened?

I missed you this morning.

I had an issue

with the plumber.

-Hey, what happened

with you and Jen?

-Everything is in order now.

See, I told you!

Hey, maybe you can

help me with Stacey.

I mean, she's making me

work out twice a day now,

until I lose some more weight.

Maybe you should try

working out in the bedroom.

It's a lot more fun.

That's exactly what I said,

but that's a no-go.

She said no sexy-sexy,

until you lose

at least 10 or 20 pounds.

And I'm like, "well,

f*** you very much, then."

-Really?

-Yeah.

Well, not f*** you,

as the case may be.

Maybe you should bring her

by the house tonight.

What's going on tonight?

House warming?

Something like that.

It would be a celebration.

Celebrations are joyous.

Hey.

It's Karen. Leave a message.

Or don't. Beep.

Karen, hey, it's me.

Listen, call me back when you

get this. I wanna... I wanna

talk to you more about Paul.

I had the most horrible

dream last night, and I...

Just call me when you get this,

okay?

I should restock these.

Hi.

-Oh, sh*t. I'm sorry.

-I'm sorry.

-You okay?

-Yeah. It was my fault.

-Don't worry about that.

I'll recover.

-Sorry about that.

-Are you Mrs. hemdale?

-Yes.

Yes, can I help you?

No. But I think I can help you.

You're living in the house,

aren't you?

I'm sorry, who are you?

The only survivor.

The accident with the furnace.

You're the girl.

It was no accident.

There's something evil

living in that house.

Have you been in the cellar?

Have you seen the black room?

Leave!

Take your husband

and get out!

It'll try to seduce you,

trick you with pleasure,

make you want more.

It feeds off human desires.

But, if you're not careful,

it will literally

eat you alive.

-I've been in the basement.

It's a little creepy but--

-you don't understand.

My grandmother...

Did not disappear,

like they say.

She was swallowed up

by that house.

She died saving my life...

Trying to trap the evil

that was summoned

decades earlier.

Get out,

before it takes you, too!

Body and soul.

Wait...

Paul?

Paul, are you upstairs?

Paul?

Paul?

Paul?

Paul?

Jennifer?

You scared me to death!

Oh, what would be

the fun in that?

-What are you doing down here?

-I was looking for you.

What's in there?

I don't know.

I can't find the key.

You sure you haven't been

in there? Cause I can swore

i heard the door slam.

Try for yourself.

-Weird.

-Mm.

You know what, I'm gonna

call Monica, the realtor.

Let's see if she's got a key.

Hey...

I have a surprise for you.

A couple of surprises, actually.

I was paid a visit, today...

By the girl who's family

sold us this house.

The one who was burned.

Dawn black.

Yeah, how do you

know her name?

Oh, Monica must have

mentioned her to me.

What did she say?

-Monica?

-No, dawn.

She said this house is evil.

And that people have died here,

and that we should move, now!

-That's ridiculous.

-Is it?

You've been

acting like an a**hole

ever since we moved in.

Maybe this house

has infected you.

Look, I've been doing some

research today at the store,

and I found this book.

Do you know what

these Celtic symbols mean?

And then, Karen,

she gave me this last night...

Get that thing away from me!

- Paul!

Are you really going to

listen to the advice

of some 20-year-old twit?

Of course,

she hates this place.

She nearly died here.

You think her memories

are going to be all puppy dogs

and rainbows, Jennifer?

She said something about a room

in the basement... a black room,

maybe that's it.

Jennifer, Jennifer...

Listen to me.

I didn't mean to

raise my voice, but

the girl went through

a traumatic experience.

She lost her grandmother.

She nearly lost her face,

she's probably not

thinking too clearly.

And what about all that family

history you so graciously spewed

out at dinner, last night?

Rumors.

Just rumors,

probably started by that

silly girl, dawn black.

Maybe so,

but I'm gonna find out

what's behind that door.

Who you calling?

I told you,

Monica, the realtor.

I wanna see if she's got a key.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Goodbye.

Oh, Bob, margot,

you're nice and late.

What's wrong?

Phone died.

I will add telephone repairman

to the menu.

I'll just call her on this.

Who's that?

Might be Satan.

Better not let him in.

-Howard, Stacey...

-Hey.

-What are you doing here?

-We're here for

your house warming party.

Surprise.

As far as I know,

she was the previous owner.

She's really pretty.

So, who else

did you invite, honey?

I invited Karen, and the plumber

and the electrician.

Who knows?

They may all pop up later.

This is a marvelous house,

and at that price,

you two made out like bandits.

-Mm.

-Can I get the tour?

Just this way.

It's really good cheese.

-You boys be good now.

-Oh, that's asking a lot,

Stacey.

I think you've had enough.

All he ever does

is eat, eat, eat.

Howard, I have something

I'd like to show you.

-This way.

-What is it?

Oh, trust me,

it's to die for.

What re you hiding

down here?

Is it like a torture dungeon?

-Close. Very close.

-Did you guys get a sex wing?

After you.

Oh, this is very good.

50 shades of black, good.

All's dark in here.

Okay, Paul,

what am I supposed to do?

Oh, my god.

What the hell is this--

That's exactly what it is.

Last but not least,

the master bedroom.

Oh, wow.

This is simply lovely.

I'm sure you get a

good night's sleep on this.

Well, yeah, unfortunately,

that's about all I get.

You're lucky.
