The Unwilling Page #5

Synopsis: When five relatives come to the perfectly ordered home of David Harris, a shut in, to hear the reading of the will of his hated father, they are surprised by the delivery of an old antique box. Once activated, the box starts to reveal special items to each one in turn, which lead to surprising and mysterious deaths. As each person succumbs to the box's mysterious hold on them, David fears his father's dangerous spirit has returned from the dead demanding retribution. But he soon realizes something far more ancient and terrifying has invaded his protected home, and if he can't solve the puzzle of the devilish box, he will surely die with the rest of them, all entombed in his house forever.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God, I killed her.

- Kelly, you didn't kill her.

- No, it's my fault.

I should have gone,

she went instead of me,

if I would have gone

it wouldn't...

David!

Come on, get away from there,

come on, it's not safe.

I don't understand...

she was right there...

she was... she was...

I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.

David.

Look, I need you, ok?

I need you to stay with me.

So, what was it

that Darren said?

The box gives you

what you want, when you need.

Yeah, that's right.

So, it's like

some kind of a trap.

It gave Rich the gold,

Darren the drugs,

and Michelle the mirror.

It presents you with something

that you're attracted to,

and you take it,

and it kills you.

Do you know how crazy

that sounds?

It's not crazy!

It's like my therapist said,

right?

I built my own trap here,

because my father was my world,

and then my whole world

fell apart.

Right? And so, I created

this house to be my safe place.

- Wait.

- What?

It's you!

It's you!

It explains why

we can't get out,

the box is giving you

what you want!

We're trapped

in your safe place!

- We can't leave.

- What?

We're trapped? Why?

What about us?

What about what we want?

This is crazy.

How does it know

what we want, David?

The box is giving

you what you want.

- No, no...

- Yes!

That doesn't make any sense, ok?

Because everybody got something

that they needed right?

When they got it, they died.

And obviously, I didn't die...

What?

One, two, three, four.

- One, two, three, four.

- David?

I have counted between that post

and this post

about 10,000 times,

and I'm telling you,

it is always five paces.

- So?

- I just counted four.

Watch out!

Come on!

Come on, come on, let's go.

Hey guys, look!

Maybe it's a way out!

- Where does that lead to?

- It's a wall to the outside.

But there's a light

coming through,

so maybe it's a way out!

Come on, we have to try!

What is happening?

Just try and break through this!

I thought you said

it was outside!

It's supposed to be the outside!

- It used to be in my house!

- I don't care, it's a way out!

David, come on, we gotta go!

You have to leave your house

right now!

- I can't!

- I will be right here with you.

Please, David, are you ready?

One...

- Two, three!

- Two, three!

Are you ok?

[David]

What is this place?

- She's still warm.

- What?

The blood is still wet,

this just happened!

It's a school house.

This is an order form,

that says it's 1953.

That's impossible.

Oh, my God!

It followed us here?

Ok, maybe the box opened here,

like it did in my house,

and the same thing

that happened in my place,

- happened here.

- That's crazy.

All I know is I wanna get the

hell away from that thing.

What do you want from us?

There's a door here!

Oh, my God!

No!

[Cheryl screaming]

Where's Michelle?

Give her back to us, please.

Take me, it should have been me,

take me instead, please.

Give her back to us.

- Michelle!

- It's all yours now.

It's the same scratch

Kelly made in the box.

- Doesn't make sense!

- Yes, it does.

What does that mean?

I think we're still

inside the box.

Kelly?

What's wrong?

Nothing. I'm fine.

I think this is the way out,

guys, follow me.

Kelly?

Kelly?

Come on.

Kelly?

Kelly.

What are you doing?

You can see everything

from here.

Are you ok?

Kelly?

Pretty f***ing cool, huh?

Cheryl, hold on!

[screams]

[screams]

No!

- David!

- Cheryl, I got you!

[Cheryl screaming]

- No!

- No!

- David!

- Cheryl?

Cheryl!

[screams]

Cheryl?

David, what are you doing here?

You need to be in the light.

It hates the light!

It likes to live in the shadows.

She's fast.

She is the mother

and the father of all lies.

She will seduce you,

corrupt you,

but she can't take you

unless you say yes.

I am so sorry

for everything that's happened.

It wasn't you?

It never was.

I have so many things

I wanna tell you.

There's so many things

I wanna ask you.

There's no time.

I'm the bird

in the belly of a cat.

Who was forced

to witness everything,

since you were a child.

I missed...

my brilliant boy...

- take on the world.

- Dad.

Dad.

Please, forgive me, David.

I do.

Cheryl?

Cheryl?

- Where are you?

- David! Help me!

Cheryl!

Cheryl!

David, help me!

You let her go!

I said, you let her...

Kelly!

You let her go!

What are you?

Why are you always so determined

to give me a name?

It's over.

We did it.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Where did you get that?

I'm so sorry, David.

She was gonna kill you.

The box gives you what you need.

And when you open

your heart to it,

I get in.

This body is strong, but...

she's lost, too.

Why do you people

fight me so hard, huh?

What's gonna happen to her?

You liked her, didn't you?

I could tell from the moment

you saw her.

She liked you too.

You could stay with her here,

if you want.

You're right.

I do want her.

- From the moment I saw her...

- David.

David.

You're the strongest one.

That's funny.

I'm the strong one.

This is your chance

to be just like your daddy.

I'm nothing like him.

Do it.

Do it.

No!

No!
