The Unfolding Page #2

They're very sweet.

And sour.

We have to address this threat

right now while we are alive.

Can you put that on the side? Thanks!

- Who gave that to you?

- My mum.

- Your mum? What is it?

- An owl.

Uh?

Nothing.

Nothing. Not a peep.

Okay.

Well, let's pack up after

breakfast and leave.

Thank God!

Do you think you can drop

me at my parents' place?

Okay, okay.

Jesus, look at this.

What the hell happened in here?

Oh, my God!

This is just amazing.

This is right below us, Tam,

and we didn't hear a thing.

How is that even possible?

Was there someone in the house?

Did you check the rooms?

Tam, did you check the rooms? Tam?

No, I haven't. I'll do that...

What if whoever did this

is still in the house?

Jesus! I cannot believe I didn't

set the camera up in here.

What a waste!

Tam, I can't believe you're

thinking about that right now.

Whoever did this could

easily have hurt us as well.

Isn't that a bit weird, that

somebody just destroyed the kitchen?

Tam?

I'm going to check

the rest of the house.

Okay.

I'll clean up then, shall I?

Faith will be.

Faith... will be.

Tam?

Well, we've got to stay on and

hope to record the same thing again.

If I could get that on camera.

Tam, this morning I heard something.

Really?

Yeah.

In the kitchen.

It was the strangest thing, like...

A whispering in my ear.

- And then...

- What was it, Rose?

I heard a baby.

I heard a baby crying, but...

It wasn't the normal crying of a child.

If you imagined what a child

in pain sounded like,

that was the noise I heard.

Can you read a name?

No, it's too weather worn.

It looks really sad.

What are they doing out here

in the middle of nowhere?

Look, there's another one here.

I think, in the bag, yeah.

All our things!

Check the house.

Check your handbag.

I don't think there's anything missing.

There's either someone

else in the house or...

- There has to be.

- This is it. We've got evidence.

Sh*t! It didn't record it.

I don't think the most important thing

at this moment is your camera.

No.

I feel hugely violated. Why would

someone do this to our stuff?

I don't understand. If there's nothing

missing, if they didn't take anything,

then why did they just wreck the room?

Tam, please, can we not stay here?

I don't want to stay here any more.

I really want to go home.

- Can you smell candle wax?

- Yeah, I can.

It was definitely in our room.

Oh, God!

That was some night, wasn't it?

- I've got some, er, interesting data.

- We tried.

- But a hell of an experience.

- Ssh!

There's someone outside the door.

Who you gonna call?

Harvey!

All right, guys?

Why didn't you tell us

you were coming?!

I tried to call.

Got no reception, obviously.

Well, I thought I could come and

lend a hand. Get some country air.

You scared the sh*t out of us.

We'll spare you the details!

- Oh, my God!

- How you doing?

- Good. How are you?

- All right.

What the f...?

Jesus!

- Yeah.

- There's some serious energy in here.

Mm-hm.

- This isn't coming out.

- Is it not?

It's incredible, isn't it, Harv?

Yeah, I've got to ask you,

Harv. I mean...

...none of this was you, was it?

What do you mean?

You know, things are pretty

serious in the outside world.

This isn't your way of, sort of,

lightening things up, is it?

You seriously think I could

do something like that?

No, it wasn't me.

I know how seriously you

take your research.

- Check this out.

- Sh*t!

I've never seen anything like it before.

It's frozen solid.

Why is it frozen here?

Why is it frozen down in this bit?

- No idea.

- Check it out. It goes all the way up.

- What do you make of it?

- The system isn't even on.

It's just not possible.

You tell me.

Well, I did some checks on

the house before I arrived.

And, er, yeah, the house is built on

top of several magnetic fault lines.

That's often the case in

areas of high activity.

But there's just no definitive line

between geology and psychic events.

Yeah, but then what about radon gas?

It's mostly visual hallucinations,

but this is not what we've having here.

It's far beyond that.

It's a sign of something.

Or a warning.

Come on, Rose.

Harvey only just got here.

Let him stay at a least for a night.

We'll stay for one more night.

Look, I've always wanted

him on a research trip

and he might have some

very valid observations.

No, it's not for Harvey, it's for you.

Okay, it's for me, fine.

You know, we've never had the

freedom that we've got here, ever.

Usually, there are residents,

employees, hoaxers, for God's sake.

Look, it's fine. I just wish

you'd tell me the truth.

I can stay another day or so.

All right?

And having no other defence,

they'll deploy "Launch on Warning".

We are sleepwalking to suicide.

Everyone's so worried about

what's going to happen all the time.

Yeah, well.

Everyone will just be able to

laugh about the whole situation.

It's part of the media.

It's what they do.

It's the media.

So everyone just needs to calm

down and it will all be fine.

- Yeah?

- Are you all right?

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

Yep. Fine.

- Get some rest.

- I'm going to get some rest.

- Okay, pal.

- I'll see you in the morning.

- Yeah, nice.

- Rose.

Night, Harv.

Thanks a lot, anyway, Tam.

What?

I didn't sleep a wink last night.

Cos you were pacing up and down,

up and down.

Don't you even sleep?

What were you doing?

What do you mean, Harv? Neither of

us got up after hitting the hay.

Okay.

- Come on, I heard you.

- No, serious! We didn't.

Okay.

Must mean there's someone

else in the house.

How many of these bloody cameras have

you got, Tam? They're everywhere.

Tam!

Okay.

This may sound crazy,

but that plant was just moving.

Moving? Are you sure it wasn't

a draught? It's by a window.

No, no, no. I mean moving, as in,

somebody was... tending to it.

It was... it was weird.

- What's that?

- It's an EMF detector.

- Let me see.

- No jokes, right?

No jokes, no jokes.

- This is crazy.

- I'm telling you, Harv.

Hello?

Hi, there!

WAAAAH!

You f***ing arsehole!

Jesus Christ!

- Sh*t!

- What?

What, What, what?

There's something on the stairs.

Right there. Did you see it?

- No...

- Right in here.

Right here.

I can't tell if it's

this house or if it's you.

Couldn't be me.

Rose. Rose, I saw something

on the stairs.

Rose, I saw something on the stairs.

I actually saw it.

- What did you see?

- It was like a... like a shimmering.

Sort of a grey shimmering.

I know. I saw it. It's been there

half an hour or so.

You saw it, too?

Well, why didn't you tell me?

We could have

recorded it. We could

have got some footage.

Rose.

Rose.

I want to leave, Tam. I'm sorry.

I can't stay here any longer.

- Can we just go, please?

- I'm not going to leave.

Rose, this place has every chance

of being a genuine haunting.

Is it just obsession with all this stuff

or is it partly disinterest in me?

Oh, Rose.

Why would you say

this to me now, here? Why?
