The Lodgers Page #4

Synopsis: 1920, rural Ireland. Anglo Irish twins Rachel and Edward share a strange existence in their crumbling family estate. Each night, the property becomes the domain of a sinister presence (The Lodgers) which enforces three rules upon the twins: they must be in bed by midnight; they may not permit an outsider past the threshold; if one attempts to escape, the life of the other is placed in jeopardy. When troubled war veteran Sean returns to the nearby village, he is immediately drawn to the mysterious Rachel, who in turn begins to break the rules set out by The Lodgers. The consequences pull Rachel into a deadly confrontation with her brother - and with the curse that haunts them.

Sean.

Rachel.

Did they?

He followed me down.

They took him instead.

I'm sorry.

I know.

Then, we can be together?

No, darling.

It's too late for that now.

I came back to say goodbye.

I'm afraid.

Don't be afraid.

You'll be free soon.

We both will.

EDWARD:
I love you.

And I love you.

Will Mother and Father be here?

Yes.

Mother and Father will

come for you, I promise.
