The Unfolding

1

The most stunning, haunting location

that I've ever... I've ever been to.

- I can't wait to see it.

- Yeah, seriously?

Yeah.

So you want to do it? We're making

good time. We may as well do it.

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

Definitely.

Maybe we should build a house up here.

- Too little, too late...

- Can you hold on a second?

- I'm just going to listen to this.

- ...to the point of no return.

The Black Swan is visible

on the horizon,

and the risk of purposeful nuclear war

right now is as high, or higher

than ever before, discounting

the accidental possibilities.

I'm sure it will blow over.

Yeah, it's all right.

It'll be alright in the end.

But... it's not the most

comforting thing

to wake up to first thing

in the morning.

Eh! Uuh!

- That's my explorer pose for you there.

- Thank you very much, Rose.

- Okay.

- All right.

- Do you want me to do my explorer walk?

- Er, yes.

Okay.

That's the one! That's the one

I wanted to see.

Look how fast the clouds

are moving over there.

I know, they move really quickly.

Weather is gonna turn any minute.

- No bears in Dartmoor?

- No bears.

- You're a bear.

- What?!

- You're a bear.

- You're a cute little cuddly bear.

Wow!

It is absolutely breathtaking.

This is amazing.

I'm rooting for you.

You've got a wet bum.

You didn't say, "Be careful, love."

Yeah, and that too!

There you are!

- Wooooh!

- Yeah!

You look so small.

You're the "King of the World!"

Now get back down here.

- I love you, Rose!

- Yeah, shut up!

Whoever said romance was dead?

Woah! His hat.

His leg.

Tam!

- Hi, darling. Did you enjoy your climb?

- Yeah.

Wow! Look at that mist.

Tam, darling, we're going to have a real

adventure getting back to the car.

This mist is really thick. I...

Do you know where the path is?

What's that?

What?

Do you see it? At the top of the rock?

What is that? It looks like...

It looks like a dog.

It looks like a black dog.

I feel really weird.

Where did it go?

It's weird, isn't it?

Tam, can we please just go?

Come on, let's get back to the car.

- What are you looking at?

- I thought there was someone up there.

So strange.

Ever heard of the "Wisht Hound?"

Yeah, whatever, Tam.

Can we just get off the moor?

I hope we're not lost.

Me, too.

Perhaps we should phone

the Professor or...

Arrange to come back another day.

Why?

Because we're just driving

around in the dark.

Yeah, but we're going to get

there in the end, so don't...

Right, crossroads.

I don't know if it's

the right time to say,

but there is a lot of

history to this house.

We're only staying for the one night?

Er, Phillip wants us to be there

for at least 24 hours.

There's so much we could get done

if this place is what they say it is.

I'm getting a little bit

bored with this road.

It doesn't even look like

a road, it looks like a path.

Yeah.

Caked on either side with boulders.

Tam, I don't think we're

going the right way...

- This could be it here.

- Yeah, you sure?

Are you okay, Rose?

Are you feeling all right?

No, but...

Hello!

...indicates that it's

completely out of control

and the command and control

is in chaos right now.

No, we're threatening

a Third World War by even thinking...

Hi, mate. I'm Tam.

I spoke to you on the phone.

- Oh, hi.

- Hi, mate.

Excuse me.

Really sorry we're late.

We got caught on Hound Tor.

That place is pretty spooky.

- Yeah.

- Hello.

Erm, this is Rose. Tam.

Hi, hi.

I'm afraid we've got to shoot, actually.

We're gonna get out of here now.

If we could just record

your experiences.

I know we said we'd do an interview.

It's all this stuff kicking off, like.

Just feel like I've got

to get back to the family.

Can't spend another night in that place.

It gives us the creeps.

Please don't go.

We've driven a long way.

It would mean a very great deal to me.

Basically, I've got this one project

that I really need to...

- Sorry, man. Gotta go.

- Please.

There are the keys.

You stay there if you want.

But we've gotta go. Gotta go now.

Sorry, guys...

We can't stay here though.

Rose, we've got to stay

one night at least.

No, Tam! We can't stay here.

They've gone.

It's not our house.

Okay, I've got the camera rolling

for the grand entrance.

- That's all your equipment, isn't it?

- Mm-hm.

So... this is your, erm,

romantic weekend away?

It was never a romantic weekend.

Great!

- I've gotta get some work done.

- Have my wellies as well.

- Perfect!

- Are we going to explore or what?

Tam, I'm really scared.

- Do you want me to go first?

- Yeah.

Oh, God, that's grim!

- Oh, it makes me sad.

- Oh, God, that's...

- It does look really sad.

- There's a ladybird on it.

Don't touch it! God,

this place is amazing, isn't it?

What if I put that in

the bed just before...

Oh, please don't. I would

never forgive you.

Shall we get some more light in here?

- There you go.

- Oh, that's better.

Right, well, let's cozy down.

They're watching you.

- Okay, Tam.

- Romantic evening?

Whatever you say.

- Can you hold my torch for me?

- Mm-hm.

Cheers.

Cool, it's done.

Okay. Good job.

Hi, camera.

Off you go exploring.

Tam?

I'm down here.

If you're wondering where we're

going to be sleeping this evening.

Yes, I am.

There we are! You're on the top.

I'm on the bottom.

No, I'm only joking.

I've found the guest room!

- Are you filming my bum?

- Yeah.

Well, you're showing me

your bum, so I'm filming it.

Perv!

Ah! Are you coming to join me?

Am I making this appealing for you?

- Anyway, I'm going to sleep now.

- Yeah.

So we can monitor and record

live video and audio from here.

And I've got EVP audio analysis set up.

EVP?

Yea, electronic voice phenomena.

Oh?

We also have infrared night vision

and motion sensor detectors via email.

I've been itching to test this stuff.

This place is perfect.

I would remind you that the threat

of the use of nuclear weapons

constitutes a violation of

the Charter of the United Nations.

There is only one question

that needs to be

asked and it needs to be asked urgently.

How can pre-emptive nuclear attack

as a permissible war...

God, it's really getting bad, isn't it?

It couldn't happen though, could it?

A nuclear war?

We don't need nuclear ambitions.

What we need are limitations

and reductions on all nuclear weapons.

There's, er, there's something

strange about this place.

Some kind of atmosphere.

Come on!

That's totally disgusting.

Please get rid of it for me.

- I put it there in the first place.

- No, you didn't!

Now just...

Woooo, hooo. Get in. Get in.

- All right.

- It's really cold.

Woah!

Is this you warming me up?

Feel how cold my hands are.

Just one more night.

Just one more night.

We'll go back tomorrow.

Great!

More hounds.

God, Tam, this place really is

out in the middle of nowhere.

It's like we're on the edge of

the world. I want to go home.

It feels like the house is watching us.

That's just your imagination.

Come on. Let's explore the grounds.
