Did it turn you on that I couldn't do

anything? That I was lying there?

Well?

How was it?

Was it worth it?

Was I any good?

I'm going to f***ing kill him.

I'm going to f***ing kill you!

Please, do not hurt her again.

Allie, Allie, this. This is the guy.

I saw what you did.

I've called the police.

- What?

- They'll be here soon.

If that girl can hear me,

help is on its way.

Allie! Allie, no, no, no, Allie!

This is him, this is all him!

- I don't know what I could have done.

- Listen! He is lying!

I think he killed my friend.

My friend too.

You're safe in there, just stay

where you are. And you...

Allie, let me in and

I'll explain everything.

Don't make things worse

for yourself. Leave her alone.

Allie! Please just let me in,

I can explain all this!

Allie! Please? Allie!

Allie! Open up!

Allie, open up!

Allie!

- Stay back!

- Allie, you're bleeding.

Is it true? Did you kill someone?

Look, it was an accident.

Get away from the door.

- Please. You've got to believe me.

- Move!

Look, I'm not going anywhere. You'll

have to stab me first, please trust me!

- There, there. Come on.

- Who are you?

I'm Stuart, remember? We met earlier.

Did you hear my voice?

Over the speakers?

Yes.

The police, are they on their way?

Right, yes.

Did he really kill your friend?

Listen, I've got a

place for us to hide.

All right? You're safe now.

Here, for your cuts.

You want to put pressure on that.

I've got a first-aid kit upstairs.

Is he dead?

Dear me, I hope not.

This way.

I'm sorry, sorry.

I'm going to take you to the

back office, you'll be safe there.

But, um, uh...

- Allie.

- Allie, right. Allie, Allie.

Allie, before we cross the

lobby, I must warn you,

do not look in the

direction of the counter.

Why?

My friend, he's still there, and,

well, trust me, it's not very pretty.

You'll be able to see it.

And I promise you, it is not

something you want to see.

OK.

Right then, ready?

All right.

Just keep looking away.

No, no furtive glances.

Almost there.

Lift's just through here.

Sorry.

It's all right.

He did that?

Everything's going to be all right.

I've never seen him...

Now, now, now, there, there.

Try not to think about it.

Come.

Let's get you somewhere

nice and safe.

Don't worry, he can't

get to us up here.

Ouch. This could hurt a bit.

How long have you been

serving popcorn for? Aah!

Oh, sorry.

I'm the projectionist here, you see.

Well, was.

Now they've got me shovelling

popcorn until I'm able to retire.

I'm just a relic, from a bygone era.

I saw what your boyfriend did to you.

You watched?

I didn't actually see anything.

Did he really kill someone?

Clive, my boss.

My mate.

I shall miss the banter between us.

Your boyfriend...

Your boyfriend will pay for that.

Please, please, don't call him that.

I need to see that tape.

I don't think you should see this.

No, just play it please.

Why can't I hear anything?

No sound. Privacy law, I imagine.

Oh, God. Sorry you

had to see that again.

It's all right.

I should have done something.

Stopped him.

What could you have done?

It wasn't your fault.

He's awake.

Oh, no worries.

He can't get us up here.

- You called the police, right?

- Of course.

- Did you tell them about your friend...?

- I told them everything.

Then where are they?

Quite right, perhaps you should call

them this time. I'll keep an eye on him.

Phone's down the corridor,

third door on the left.

And be sure to mention that he's

got a gun and he shot someone.

- OK.

- And, Allie.

It's important that

you tell them that.

Key's on the table.

F***!

Where...?

Look, I don't understand

what you mean.

F***, just tell me what is going on?

Yeah, police please, it's urgent!

Hello, what's the emergency?

We're trapped, and there's... We can't

get out and I don't know where he is.

He has a gun and he's shot someone.

Who's been shot?

I don't know him, but he's dead.

Are you hurt?

Hello? Hello? Are you injured

in any way? Hello? Hello?

Um, please help us.

Your address is on our screen,

emergency personnel are on their way.

- Man with the gun, do you know him?

- Yes.

Hello?

Hello? Hello?

What happened?

- He must have cut the power.

- Why?

Don't know, I'm not the killer.

- Did you manage to get through?

- Are you sure we're safe?

Absolutely positive.

Why don't we make a break for it?

You know this place. You could get

us past, we can make it outside.

- I don't think so.

- Why?

Well, we're safe here.

We don't know where

he is, plus we're trapped.

With the power out, I don't know how

we could get through those shutters.

What was that?

Maybe it's the power

trying to come back on.

Come on, come on.

Blue team, go.

Sir, you're gonna want to

see this. We've found a body.

It's him.

It can't be.

Look, we need to go, now!

Come on!

Just let me get my keys.

Quickly.

Oh, the keys.

Come on!

Allie! Wait!

Poor kid.

OK, listen up, we have a body, we

need to make sure all exits are secure.

The suspect is possibly armed, but he is

most certainly still inside this building.

And somebody, find me that footage.

Come on.

Oh, my God!

Allie, please let me in.

Allie, trust me! He's not who he

says he is! Please, let me in!

He tricked me, I was

trying to protect you!

- Don't listen to him! Look, get the keys.

- Let me in! Come on!

I don't believe you! I know what

you did, I've seen the tapes!

- Allie, the keys! Do it!

- What about you?

Please, Allie, let me in!

Allie, he's tricked me, I was trying

to protect you, just please let me in!

It says roof on it.

Take it off the ring!

Down the corridor,

there's a roof access.

Aren't you coming?

No, you just make sure you leave

that roof open, I'll see you up there.

So looks like it's just the

two of us now, hey, Martin?

Good vs. evil, right vs. wrong.

Oh, I do love this part of a movie.

The police will be here any second.

And who do you think killed him?

I'm getting the impression you don't

know this is all part of the plot, Martin.

We called them exactly

13 minutes ago.

Pretty standard rapid response time

when you select a few key phrases.

And that poor little Allie,

all alone on the roof.

She's got not idea that in three

minutes, someone else will be killed.

- Stuart, it's open!

- Where are your camera's now, eh?

Powers out! Looks like you

won't get to finish your film!

I'm not stupid, Martin! Of course

the cameras are recording.

We couldn't let all this drama

not be captured, could we?

Not when I'm about to win!

You'll never win.

Have you not figured it out yet?

I'm the hero, Martin.

You're the villain.

Hero always gets the girl.

He always wins. It's classic

storytelling. It's a fact!

Stuart, come on!

Please listen to me?

I'm begging you, don't hurt her.

Such sincerity.

Best line yet, Martin.

Approaching the projection room now.

And now we have

reached the third act.

I'm so excited.

What are you doing?
