Alarm (2008) - full transcript

It was your home

since childhood, but you
think it's been violated.

Forever?

Yes.

Can you see yourself
ever living there again?

No.

I understand that.

Remember what I said to you

at the beginning, Molly?

You weren't just a
witness to a violent assault.

You were a victim as
much as your father was.



Now, I'm going to

suggest something to you...

...after a year.

It might help if you were
to go back to the house.

I could go with you if you like.

No. No, sorry.

All right.

Anyway, it's just been sold,

so... time to move on.

Sure.

You'll still be staying
with Frank and Jess?

They've been fantastic,
but I can't expect them

to put up with me indefinitely.

I think they love
having you around.



And if it offers a
safe haven for now...

I want a home of my own.

I've started looking.

Right.

Outside Dublin.

I like the idea, it's much
cheaper...

More peaceful.

Go back.

No, go back to bed.

No... go back, go
back...

Molly?

Molly? Come in.

Sleepyhead.

I was getting worried.

Oh.

Nightmare?

Your dad?

You poor baby.

Do you want to
cancel this thing?

I'm fine.

I wouldn't worry about
offending an estate agent.

No, really.

Remind me again why you
want to get out of Dublin?

Listen.

That's what most people are

paying for: tranquility.

And the space outside,

as well as the space inside.

Oh, and light, I mean, the house

is full of natural light.

French doors, south-facing.

And, uh, the patio is
perfect for sunning yourself

all afternoon.

Um, kitchen.

Oak shaker, uh, electric hub.

Oven, fridge, freezer.

Granite worktops.

All is standard.

Utility room.

And upstairs.

Hmm.

This is a feature
most people like is the,

the high ceilings.

And I think you'll be pleasantly

surprised by the
roominess of the bedrooms.

Now, family bathroom...

and into the master
bedroom...

Molly... Molly.

Hmm?

I think our friend might feel

he's wasting his sweetness.

Sorry.

As you can see, a lovely
view of Mount Leinster.

Ah, that'll be my 12:00,
so, what do you think?

Um, it's lovely.

I'll certainly think
seriously about it.

Well, as I said, this is

the last one, so I wouldn't

think too long if I were you.

Any last questions?

Um, the fitted kitchen,

did you say that was extra?

No, no, no, that's standard.

Or you can choose your
own, and we'll add 5,000.

Oh, we can also install a superb

alarm system for an extra grand.

No, thanks, no alarms.

Fully guaranteed for
five years, including

maintenance. No.

What, are you expecting

a crime wave in the village?

Hardly.

Just people like
their peace of mind.

Anyway, there you have it,

as I said, it's the last one.

Just imagine what this would

cost you up in Dublin, you know?

Anyway, I'd better go.

Nice to meet you.

Bye-bye.

And on to his new best friend.

I hope you got the message,

Molly, you need him
more than he needs you.

Arrogant little twerp.

I think he was expecting you

to whip out the
checkbook there and then.

That's the way it is, I suppose.

I mean, if you don't

mind living in the back of

beyond, the house
itself isn't bad.

It seemed very peaceful.

And people really

commute to Dublin from there?

Didn't you notice?

Not a soul to be seen.

What sort of life is that?

I won't have to commute.

I can work from home.

Pop down to the village
for whatever I need.

What, baked croissants
at the boulangerie?

Espresso?

A pot of tea and a
scone'd be the height of it.

What do you think, Jess?

Well, you know
we love having you here.

Is it not all a bit too soon?

Maybe you should talk the whole

thing through with
Luke Masterson.

Well, I think I'm ready
for a break from therapy.

I told Luke.

You didn't say.

Anyway, isn't it vital to get

your toe on the old
property ladder these days?

Mm-hmm.

You know what I mean, though.

A home of my own?

Of course.

But you've been through so much,

I wouldn't do anything rash.

Hi.

Yeah, it's 600K...
There's two for the front

and two for the back here.

Well, yeah, it seems

a lot now, but that's the
way property is going.

...looking for 200,

250 more than that, I mean...

...they know if
they wait, it'll cost them

twice as much.

Bye.

O.K., bye-bye.

Hello again.

I've decided to go for it.

Meadowlands.

Ah, sorry, we closed
that sale this morning.

What?

Afraid so.

Oh.

Was it that man yesterday?

Well, look, we've got
something similar near

completion a bit further out.

It'll be dearer, of course,

when it's ready for sale,

but, uh, have you a
brochure there, hon?

Yeah, thanks.

O.K., let's see...

Um... would you get us
two coffees, please, Pat?

I'm sorry I'm such a baby.

No-no-no, no, no, no.

You're fine, you're fine.

It's just that the more

I thought about it last night,

the more excited I got.

Yeah, I can imagine.

And it's definitely sold,

I mean, people never
change their mind or...?

Rarely, no.

They're all trying to chase
their dream, you know?

Get away from all that.

Look, the check for the down

payment hasn't arrived in yet,

so... technically...
maybe... Yeah?

Well, I mean, it's a new

house, so obviously we can't

get into a bidding war, I mean,

the price is the price, but...

let's just say to close the sale

you were... prepared
to offer another... 5K.

God, yeah, but I thought
you said the price was

the price.

Of course.

No, this, this would be, um...

this would be a local
arrangement, you know?

I mean, I'm only saying this

'cause I can tell how much
the house means to you,

you know?

It would be up to yourself.

There's a word for it,
Molly, you know that.

It's gazumping.

I mean, it goes on
all the time, obviously.

You think I shouldn't.

My poor love.

You've been through so much,

I just don't want you to do

anything you'll
regret in the long run.

Here.

Sleep on it.

I'm carrying the lot, am I?

Sorry.

Thank you.

Hello!

Great to see you.

Oh, hello!

I'm good, how are you?

It's lovely to...

Hello, Sarah!

How are you?

How are you?

Good, I'm very good.

Hello. Hello.

You look fantastic.

Thank you, thanks.

Oh, thank you.

Go on ahead to the left.

There's lots of drinks.

I hope you don't mind.

I bumped into this
gorgeous man the other night.

Of course not... Hi.

Hey, how you doing?

Haven't seen him in ages.

He's been away for... how long?

Oh, more or less
since college, I think.

Hi!

Thanks for having us.

Brilliant, yeah.

Into the left.

Guess who. Um... Oh,
you wouldn't remember me.

Oh, she will.

Molly had the most enormous

crush on you in school.

Sarah!

But you did.

It's fantastic.

It's absolutely gorgeous.

Thank you!

So, how far away from Dublin

are we now? Not far at all.

♪ ...pull down
all this with you ♪

♪ Water down to
drown it all away ♪

♪ No bank at all ♪

♪ This solitary union ♪

♪ It will bring me back

from where I want to stay... ♪

Need a hand?

Sorry... I was in
a world of my own.

Hope it's not as
painful as mine.

Um, there's some stuff up there.

Oh, cheers.

Um... they're no use to you.

Here, um, try this.

Glad I was first up.

So am I.

Glad I had one left for you.

Thanks.

Great house.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

That was fantastic.

But listen, you've
got to get a car now.

Mal, tell her to get a car.

Get a car, will you?

Listen, thanks, Molly.

O.K.

Bye.

See you soon.

Look after yourself, O.K.?

Mm-hmm.

I'll see you, darling.

See you, see you soon,
thanks for coming. Bye.

If you need any help decorating.

No charge.

A housewarming present.

O.K. Thanks.

I just might.

Mal... All right.

We'll see you soon, O.K.?

Thanks again for having us.

Thanks for coming.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye, Molly.

Bye.

Bye...

Well, what's going
on in those new houses?

How do you mean?

Well, you're the first person

from up there to put a bit of

business my way, that's all.

Oh, well, there's
never anyone around.

They go to work before dawn and

don't get home till after dark.

Mad, isn't it?

Well, if you are talking to

any of them, let them know that

I can supply them with
everything they need on the

the D.I.Y. front, huh?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, there you go.

That what you had in mind?

Perfect.

All right... Francy.

I'm Joe, by the way.

You're welcome to the area.

Thanks. Molly.

Come on, Francy.

No...

I wasn't sure if
you got my message.

I was in the area. What?

Uh, no...

But your message
sounded a bit panicky.

Did it? I'm a bit embarrassed

now. It's no big deal.

What's up?

Well, um, you see I do
research work for this arts

program... I, um, read books

and prepare briefs
for the presenter.

Oh, right, so he can

sound like he's read everything.

Yeah.

Anyway, all of a sudden,

they have to have the stuff by

tomorrow, and I was
in the middle of all this...

You want me to finish it?

No problem.

Sorry if I made it
sound like a crisis.

No, no, it's fine.

I'll start straight away.

Hello?

Hi.

Guess what time it is.

Oh, my God.

Can you spare a minute?

Of course.

Cool.

Oh... Thank you.

Yeah, it's not bad.

You happy?

Yeah.

Good.

I'll come back tomorrow

and make a start in the hall.

Really, do you mind?

No, course not.

That would be so fantastic.

But listen, that's it with

the favors now, from now on,

you have to let me pay you.

We'll talk about it tomorrow.

I'd better be off.

Right.

Sweet dreams.

It's looking nice.

Good buy.

Yeah, I think so.

Ugh, you should see the kip

of a flat I'm renting in Dublin.

Jeez... What brought
you back to Ireland?

Well, I know how
this sounds, but, uh...

I missed Irish girls.

No, seriously.

'Cause I, uh, I sort of did

the rounds while I was away.

Oh, how do you mean?

Well, let's see.

There was a Japanese girl, Kiki.

Two Spanish girls... not at

the same time obviously.

Obviously.

Manuela, and... uh...

oh, Christ, what was her name?

Oh, God... Oh,
moving right along.

O.K., a very serious
Swiss girl, Natalie.

Yeah.

A few Scandinavians...
O.K., O.K., enough.

So now you're looking for

a sweet flame-haired colleen?

Yeah.

Yeah, something like that.

And, um... does
Sarah fit the bill?

Sarah?

No, no, not at all.

Did you think?

No, no, no, no, we're just pals.

I don't think I'm
Sarah's type at all.

Ah, Molly, how are you?

Hiya.

Warm weather, says you.

Francy looking after you?

He is, yeah. Great...
how's the decorating going?

Oh, couldn't be better.

And nothing taken?

Money? Jewelry?

No.

Feckin' vandals.

Maybe you disturbed them and

they legged it out the back.

Did you ever think
of getting an alarm?

Didn't think I'd
need one out here.

Fair enough, I suppose.

Normally.

Anyone you know?

Yeah, it's a friend of mine.

Hey, are you O.K.?

Yeah.

Oh, Jesus.

Right, I'll be in

touch if we find out anything,

but, well, you know yourself.

O.K., thanks anyway.

Good luck.

We'll have to fix
that for a start.

Hey... it's O.K.

We're gonna clear it all up.

Come here.

- My poor baby...
- I'm gonna make

everything all right.

Well... Jesus...
burglary is a turn-on, huh?

...you O.K. now?

I'm just glad
you're here, Mal.

Hey.

When I saw the
door hanging open...

Shh...
It reminded me.

What?

My dad.

Year ago, I was still living at

home, just him and me, you know?

Yeah?

One night, I woke up

'cause I heard shoutin'.

Looked out the window.

There were these guys totally

out of it, pissin'
in the front garden.

I knew they'd woken Dad up too.

Go, go back to bed.

I just knew there
was gonna be trouble.

Go back to bed.

Hey, you two, what do

you think you're doing there?

He tried to keep them

out, but he hadn't a hope.

When I tried to

stop them, one of them came

at me, screamin' into my face.

Want some of that, do ya?!

Jesus.

Dad!

...by the time I got to dad...

He was dead.

Mal?

Hey.

Sorry I woke you, but I figured

it'd be safer to fix this.

Thanks.

That's O.K.

Mal?

Yeah?

Will you stay the night?

Do I look like I'm goin'

anywhere?

Well now, look who's
back to see us again.

How's it going?

Not great.

I was burgled yesterday.

Ah, no... While I was here.

I'm sorry to hear it.

The feckin' whores.

Did the alarm not scare them

off? I don't have one.

I thought those
houses had them fitted.

Oh, it was extra.

I didn't go for it.

Aye? Well now, listen.

My brother Mossie does a great

job on the alarm front.

He'd sort you out, no bother.

No, thanks, Joe.

O.K., well, right.

Thank you.

Thanks, Francy.

Molly, turn
away for a second.

We have a little
surprise for you.

O.K., you
can turn round now!

♪ Ta-da! ♪

We thought you might need

a little help getting round

out here in the sticks.

Oh, golly!

Thank you so much!

You remember how?

I'll give it a go!

O.K...

♪ ...on a bicycle made for two ♪

Molly, why
didn't you tell us?

We'd have come
down straight away.

Ah, you poor thing, and
you hardly in the door.

It wasn't too bad.

They didn't even take anything.

Yeah, but it's what
it does to your head.

You didn't sleep
last night, did you?

Not much.

Was the place in an awful state?

Yeah, but Mal helped clean up.

Who's Mal?

Eh, he's a... a guy
I knew in school.

He's been helping
me with the painting.

Oh, that's why it's
such a good job.

Frank, shut up.

Get that restaurant
guide, would you?

It's in the car.

Such an idiot.

So go on.

This, uh, Mal was here.

He just happened to be
coming to do more painting.

I'm only asking.

Weren't you lucky he was around?

I hope he stayed the
night... to protect you.

Is he nice?

Yeah, kind of gorgeous.

Well, listen, Frank
discovered there's a very

highly rated restaurant just

a few miles from here.

We were going to treat
you this evening anyway.

Oh no, I'm not... So
why don't you invite

this, uh... Mal?

Mal.

Invite him too.

We can book for four as easy

as three... ah, go on,
sure I'm dying to meet him.

Dying to meet who?

What?

...well, so far, is that
he's a good decorator.

O.K.

He's texted back.

And?

"working late."

Ah, pity.

"go ahead, meet you there."

Excellent!

Well, I hope it lives
up to the review.

It looks classy
enough in the brochure.

Ooh, it does
get very cold up here.

Well, you are
up in the mountains.

It is December.

I know that, but the

wind is never as cold
as this in Dublin, is it?

...herb-crusted rack of lamb

with a parsnip mash... mmm!

Who would have thought it, eh?

I would have said a Chinese

take-away would be the only

cuisine you'd find round here.

Well, if this is as good as it

sounds, we will be bunking in

with you every weekend.

You'll never get rid of us.

Let's order.

Mal won't mind.

Oh, is that him?

Very easy on the eyes.

You behave yourself.

Hi.

Hey.

This is Mal.

Mal, Jessica.

Jess, please.

Nice to meet you.

And Frank.

How you doin', Frank?

Getting ready for the once over?

Frank!

I've just been telling them

how you're helping
me with the decorating.

That's the
official version, anyway.

Which is fine by me.

Thanks for the invitation.

You know, this reminds me of

a little country place I worked

in while I was in Italy.

Really, you can cook?

Wouldn't poison you.

Sounds like you're very

handy to have around the house.

Thanks
for coming tonight.

I enjoyed it.

They seem really nice.

They've
been so kind to me.

So... what are they?

Like godparents?

No.

That's the strange thing.

They were just
old friends of Dad's.

He and Jess lectured
in the same department.

I hardly knew them until
after Dad... you know.

They helped out so much with all

the funeral stuff.

Don't know what I
would have done.

Then they invited
me to stay with them.

Suppose they realized...

I mean, they did it for dad's

sake, but it was like...

they really love me, you know?

And they've no kids?

No.

They seem to like it that way.

You think?

Yeah, why?

Ah... I got the
feeling they were

happy to have you around.

You mean, like the
child they never had?

Yeah, that sort of thing.

I bet they didn't
want you to leave.

You're right.

But you know, it was time.

Jesus!

Molly... hold on!

Molly!

My bike!

They've taken my bike!

- Hey, hey, it's O.K....
- shh...

Calm down, it's all right.

You're safe, it's O.K.

It's all right.

And apart from

the bicycle, there was
nothing else taken?

Nothing else touched.

So was it
someone else this time?

It's strange, huh?

Right, well, sure.

I'll ask around, maybe one

of the neighbors saw something.

You really should think
about an alarm, you know?

Good luck.

Yeah.

Fuckin' brain-dead cops.

Mind you, he's probably
right about the alarm.

I know.

Listen, Molly, I've
been thinking, I mean...

I don't think you should be on

your own right now, you know?

Ah, you can't believe what

it means to me to have you here.

I want to be here.

With you.

Will you stay?

Please?

For as long as you want.

Hey... getting pretty horny.

Not now.

Sorry.

Sure.

I know.

Hey, this is Sarah's phone,

you know what to do next.

Hello, Sarah, it's Molly.

I was just ringing for a chat.

Nothing special.

Give us a ring if you
can, I'm home all day.

Joe, how are ya?

I knew you'd say that.

I told him you'd say that.

I'm not Joe, Joe sent me.

Sorry?

I'm his brother Mossie.

Oh, you're twins!

For our sins, yeah.

Now, you see that.

That's the giveaway.

Joe would never
do anything like that.

Far too strait-laced,
you know what I mean?

Anyway, he tells me
you've had a spot of bother.

You want an alarm put in.

Two burglaries.

How do they break in?

Front door.

Oh, cheeky feckers.

You haven't had a
wink of sleep, have you?

Mind if I survey the scene?

Yeah, I was a bit put out about

them sending down a Dublin crowd

to put the alarm systems in.

You know?

Not good for the local economy.

Know what I mean?

Anyway, I'll do you a good job.

No problem there.

Any special requirements?

I don't know, really.

O.K., you got bay windows,

French windows,
guard the door, O.K....

obviously, we cover
all the access points.

We'll give you a nighttime

setting, so you can still
move about upstairs...

do your business...
what about panic buttons?

Great for the peace of mind.

Bedroom.

Let's see...

Do you mind if I...?

No.

O.K., so, panic button.

That suit you?

Whatever you think.

Fair enough.

Now, I can squeeze
you in this afternoon.

But if you want to think about

it, it'll take three weeks.

Oh, this afternoon, please.

Knew you'd say that.

Do you want to talk cash?

Or will I wait for himself?

There's no himself,
so you can talk to me.

Fair enough, let's see now.

Ten access points, panic button,

master control
box, say a thousand.

Sure.

Honest to God, you young

ones, throwin' your money away.

All right, 800, my final offer.

What?

O.K.! So for you... 750.

All right? All right?

Yeah, great!

So I'll see you this afternoon.

And don't worry,
you'll sleep tonight.

You sure he'll
get back to you fast?

If not, we'll
think of something else.

O.K., now, when you're

leaving the house,
just key in the code.

When you're going
to bed, key in 0#7.

If the alarm does go off,

the video screen here will show

you the source of the intrusion.

O.K., I've

got it, my birthday and his.

No, no!

Don't tell me.

No one else should know.

Just key it in, and verify.

System is armed to home.

O.K.

Right.

Let's give it a bit of a test.

...so, here is the scenario.

It's daytime, the
alarm isn't even set.

Suddenly you hear a sound:

breaking glass, the
door being forced open.

Or you haven't
even locked the door.

Now you hear someone moving

around inside the house.

Panic button!

There you go!

O.K., disarm the system!

System is disarmed.

That's it.

Simple as that.

One last thing.

Come on up.

Very important.

You can't use the panic button

again until you reset it.

The key.

Ready to go.

System is armed to home.

Well, now, who's
this handsome intruder?

Saw the box outside.

That was quick.

Come here, you'll have
to help me with the code.

I'll do the first two numbers,

but I can't remember
the last two!

Molly, it's gonna go off.

Two special little
numbers, what were they?

It was one-two...

Molly, what are you doing?!

Turn it off, will ya?!

One-two and... ?

I don't know any special
numbers! How am I...

I got it!

I got it, I got it.

Damn.

System is disarmed.

So... your birthday
is the 12th, huh?

Mm-hmm.

That's very romantic.

You think?

Yeah, I do.

Hey, we'd better let people know

it was a false alarm, yeah?

No one's interested.

What are they like around here?

...so... you feeling
safe tonight?

Mm-hmm.

Feeling safe now? Yeah.

You sure?

Definitely.

Completely safe?

Totally.

We'll see about that.

Scared?

No.

You sure?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm sure.

Hello, Joe. It is Joe, isn't it?

Oh, you met Mossie then, huh?

Did he do a good job?

Perfect.

And he gave you a good price?

Absolutely.

Excellent, and how are
things on the sleep front?

Oh, look at me,
fresh as a daisy.

Well, I'm delighted for you.

What can I get you now?

Um, just some teak oil.

All right, then... Francy!

I'll get it. O.K.

Uh, no, I knew Mossie
wouldn't let you down.

Bit of a showoff, you know.

Uh, but the work is sound.

Us guys, actually, we don't

hang around much, so people are

always saying, how come they

never see the two of
us at the same time?

I think they wonder if it's

only one of us pretending to be

two people.

Ah, here.

This is the guy who
sold me the house.

Huh? Oh, yeah, well...
to tell you the truth now,

he wouldn't be very popular

around here, him or his company.

Well... no, not that I think

he deserved the beating or

anything, but you know yourself,

estate agents, they're kind of

hard to feel sorry for,
aren't they? Bastards.

Anyway, there you are.

No, no, no, go on.

It's on the house.

It'll be my good
deed for the day, eh?

Thanks. Cheers.

Property now.

Good morning.

Hello, um, I'm
one of your clients.

I recently bought
in Meadowlands.

Just been reading about what

happened to Ian Laurie.

I'm very shocked.

Yes, it was awful.

Well, is there anywhere I

could call him and pass on my

good wishes or even
visit him in hospital?

I'm afraid he's gone abroad
for an extended break.

As you can imagine,
it was very traumatic.

But I'll certainly pass
on your good wishes.

O.K., if you would, thanks.

Good-bye.

Taking the air?

Yep, just a
little break from work.

So, how about a longer break?

A nice lunch.

Oh, no, I can't, folks.

Course you can.

Our treat.

No, really, I've got a
deadline, and I'm right up

against it.

Sorry you came all the way.

Listen, come in
for coffee anyway.

Ah, no, no, we don't
want to hold you up.

You're fine.

I'll throw you out if
you're staying too long.

Fair enough.

I see you gave in.

Thought I'd better.

Oh, good.

And how is it?

Do you feel any safer?

Oh, I suppose.

It's very neat, isn't it?

Hardly even notice it.

And how long now do you have

to turn it off? 30 seconds.

Jess, would you
please get the door?

Frank... door.

One, two, two, four.

System is disarmed.

I swear I'd be useless.

I can never remember codes.

Frank has all these
tricks for remembering.

I'll organize the coffee.

One, two, two, four.

Frank, one, two, two, four.

How would you remember that?

One, two, two, four.

Why, that's easy.

Simple sequence.

Double one two, double two four,

or if you prefer, double 12, 24.

Ah, what kind
of brain have you?

I wouldn't say Molly was

thinking of number sequences

when she chose those
numbers, were you, pet?

So, what was she thinking of?

Let's see.

One, two, two, four, or
as you said, 12 and 24.

So 12 could be the
12th of something.

Well?

Oh, I haven't a clue.

Ah, Frank, when
is Molly's birthday?

The 12th of...

Ah, right.

So the 24 must be...
doesn't ring any bells.

I'd say 24 could be
another significant birthday.

Yes, but how would we know that?

O.K.,
coffee's nearly ready.

That new friend
of yours, Mal. Yeah?

When is his birthday, I wonder?

It's not the 24th, is it?

Ah, very good guess.

Very good.

Spooky.

Mal, see that car over
there, the one like a jeep?

That's been
parked there all day.

Yeah?

I called over, but
nobody answered.

Well, maybe they just
left their car behind.

No, there's a light on
there now, but no one has

come back to the house.

Molly... have you been
watching the whole time?

The estate agent who sold me

the house, Ian, he's
been beaten up. Sorry?

It was in the paper.

He was assaulted.

And the day I viewed the house,

his next client drove
something just like that.

Molly, half the country
is riding around in 4x4s.

I'm not following
the logic here.

I don't know either.

It's just... is there some

connection with the break-ins?

What? How?

Well, I don't know, but I've

been here over a month now, and

I haven't met a single other

person who lives around.

I don't know who
my neighbors are.

That's the way these
places are. People are busy.

Well, let's just call now.

Let's just go and knock
on the door. Over there?

Yeah, say hello.

Molly, no, no, no, no.

Bad idea.

O.K., let's go next door.

That's the normal
thing to do, isn't it?

What's the point?

Meet our neighbors,
"Hello, how are you?"

Well, you go if you
want, but I mean, I'm...

Yes?

Sorry to disturb you.

I'm from next door.

Oh, right.

I know this is out of the

blue, but I just thought as

we're neighbors, we
should introduce ourselves.

I'm Molly, by the way.

Oh, hello.

No one ever seems to be

around during the day, so...

anyway, just on a whim really,

I, uh, I called around now.

Right. Well, thanks.

Who is it, darling?

It's O.K., Jen.

Listen, sorry, we have a few

friends down from Dublin,
and we're just about to

sit down to eat.

Oh, bad time.

I'm really sorry.

No, no, it's O.K.

We'll hook up soon.

I'll, uh... we'll, uh,
give you a call, O.K.?

That was
stupid, wasn't it?

Impulsive.

Coffee?

Mm.

O.K.

What's the matter with me today?

Earlier on, Frank and Jess

called out of the blue
to bring me to lunch,

and I was really annoyed.

I nearly said, "why
didn't you phone first?"

Well, that's all right.

Then Jess was looking over

my shoulder when I was trying

to turn off the alarm, and I

felt tense, you know, like I

didn't want her to see the code,

like it matters, for God's sake.

Then she and Frank started

trying to work out why I chose

that particular code, going on

and on, saying it over and over,

one, two, two, four, 12, 24, 12,

24, till I just wanted to scream

at them, "Shut up, shut up!"

Mad.

Do you need to take anything?

No, like what?

I don't know.

You O.K.?

Yeah, I'll be fine.

Stay right there.

I'll go down.

Mal, please!

System is disarmed.

Mal?

It's O.K.

What do you mean?

I mean it's, it's O.K.

There's nothing.

Are you sure?

I'm checking everywhere.

Hold on.

Yeah, yeah,
now, it's all secure.

It must be gremlins.

Nobody's trying to break in.

Maybe I should have a look.

Molly, it's fine.

We'll get 'em to check
the alarm tomorrow.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Why don't you... go down
yourself if it makes you

feel any better.

I mean... No. No, I believe you.

Sorry I'm so jittery.

You're jittery?

I was the one that
had to go down there.

Jesus, it's nearly 4:00.

Did you set it again?

Uh... let me see.

I think so.

I can't remember really.

Mal, please.

I did, I did, I swear.

Relax.

Oh...

You O.K.?

Yeah, I'll be fine.

It's just... I know,
but... remember,

it was a false alarm, yeah?

Yeah?

Mm.

All right.

How are you?

Fine.

Thanks for getting Mossie.

Yeah, he was all apologies.

Think he was a bit disappointed

you weren't up to see him.

Did you check it?

Yeah, been in and
out all day, seems fine.

Meet any more of
your lovely neighbors?

Aha! I've come up with
a nice way to meet them.

"Dear neighbors, you're invited

to Christmas drinks and nibbles

Friday the 18th of
December from six p.m.

Casual.

Looking forward to meeting you

and toasting the holiday.

Molly and Mal."

"Toasting the holiday."

That's a bit American, isn't it?

Yeah, I know.

Anyway, is that O.K.?

Yeah, if you like.

Molly... you're not thinking of

delivering them tonight,
are you? Yeah, why?

Well, if you're wandering

around in the dark, putting

envelopes in their doors,

they... might think it's a bit

bonkers, you know?

Wouldn't tomorrow do?

Yeah, fair point.

All right.

Mal?

Mal?

Hi. I couldn't sleep.

Can I get you anything?

No.

'Night, sir.

'Night.

Hey, Molly. Yeah?

Have you kind of woken up now?

Yeah, I suppose so.

Maybe I'll come
back to bed then.

O.K., if you like.

All right.

I'll see you in a sec.

♪ Oh, tidings
of comfort and joy ♪

...I've been thinking about

Jess and Frank and the party.

Have you invited them?

That's the thing.

I feel a bit guilty 'cause

I sort of don't want to.

That's fine, don't.

You think?

Of course.

They don't have to be around

every time something
is happening in your life.

Yeah, I know.

So... it's fine.

I wouldn't worry about it.

I did call Sarah
though, to invite her.

Oh, yeah? Is she coming?

I left a message.

No answer yet.

I'm a bit bothered.

She hasn't phoned in ages.

Not since we got together.

Ah, she's probably jealous.

You think? It could be.

But you told me there was

nothing between you and Sarah.

There wasn't.

Doesn't mean she's not jealous.

♪ ...we wish

you a merry Christmas ♪

♪ We wish you a merry... ♪

Oh, come on, Molly, sit down.

Try and relax a little bit.

Just... Molly.

Come on, Molly, don't do

anything silly, all right?

I'm just looking
out my front door.

That's O.K., isn't it?

Fuckers! Horrible fuckers!

Hey... I can't
believe it, I can't

believe no one turned up!

Hey, hey, hey.

Don't worry about it, all right?

Do we know or care
about these people?

That's right!

There's only one person
I want to be with tonight.

And can I be honest with you?

I'm glad I don't have to waste

my breath making
small talk with strangers.

Come here.

I love you, Molly.

Only you.

Wow... makes up for everything.

More than.

Oh, for goodness' sake,
Molly, you shouldn't have,

you shouldn't have.

It's nothing. It's a token.

And give this to Mossie.

Well, now, I might.

I hope you didn't get him

a better prezzy than me, huh?

And thank him for coming back

so quickly to fix the system.

Tell him it's been fine since.

Oh, he didn't get it
right the first time?

Well, I'll give him a right

slagging over that, huh?

Listen, happy Christmas, pet.

And now... I got
something for you.

There you are.

Why are you back so early?

Don't move.

Oh, come on, what? Shh!

Listen.

You like?

It's great. What is it?

It's a Christmas present.

Oh, my God, Mal!

You like it? Yeah!

It's cool, isn't it?

Check this out.

The kitchen.

The master bedroom.

Everywhere.

It's fantastic!

Thank you!

No, no... No, no,
it's good, it's good!

Stay there, don't move!

Don't move.

Who the fuck are you?

Get out!

Get the fuck out of here!

Get your hands off!

Let go of me!

Mal!

Get your hands off me!

Mal, are you all right?

Mal! Are you O.K.?

Yeah, I'm fine but...
see if you can spot him.

System is disarmed.

You were attacked!

He fucking hit me
when I grabbed him.

Christmas Day!

Oh, Jesus, Christmas Day!

Shh...

I just can't take it anymore!

I can't... I can't
stand it anymore!

Sweetheart, no.

I don't know what's going on!

Are you it?

I mean... is there no
other cop around here?

Well... Christmas Day, you know?

'Cause you're useless!

And I'm kind of
looking after the case.

Three burglaries in a month,

my friend, and
you've gotten nowhere.

I mean, look at this,
for Christ's sake.

It's Christmas Day.

I'm sorry, sir, this
is a very unusual...

Oh, well, there's a
word for it, huh? Unusual.

People playing mind games,
fucking with our heads.

That's, that's definitely
unusual. At least now

we know it was a lone male.

Well, that's a breakthrough!

I mean... Who did you

think it was, a team of nuns?

Is there any more
you can tell me?

What else do you want
me to tell you? It was dark.

I didn't... I understand.

All you're sure of is it was

a man, seems like he was about

your height and size.

You didn't see his face.

I told you... I go for him,

he whacks me with that, and then

he dives through the window.

Now do your job.

Look, I'll be honest with you.

It's obvious this isn't just a

series of ordinary burglaries.

Yours is the only house
that's been broken into.

Seems to me there has to be

some personal thing going on,

and I mean, well... you're the

only ones who can
give me a steer on that.

Right...
that'll have to do.

You begin to wonder,
is there any point?

Yeah.

Do you need to take anything?

To help you sleep?

You think I should?

You look so tired, but...
I know you'll lie awake

for hours tonight.

I'll be O.K.

System is armed to home.

System is disarmed.

Don't let me go mad.

Please.

Everything O.K.?

Yeah.

Sorry I woke you.

Wanna make love?

No.

Massage?

No, thanks, I'll sleep now.

You sure?

Yeah.

Oh, God, oh...

Did you get any sleep?

Some.

Molly, do you think, maybe...

you should think
about selling up?

Yeah, maybe.

It's a crap time of year to

flog a house, though, isn't it?

You mean nothing will
happen till the new year?

That's right.

Do you really think I'm mad

to be suspicious of the
people across the road?

I'm beginning to think
anything is possible.

Mal... you were
away a long time.

I mean, didn't anything ever

happen to you that
might be the reason why...

You mean did some sinister

foreigner track me down
here looking for revenge?

Don't joke, please.

Sorry.

I don't know anything
about your past, do I?

Look, believe it or not,

there's nothing, I mean...

you don't want me to
have a dark past, do you?

All right.

I'll hunt around the village.

See if I can find someone
to repair the window.

Fat chance, I suppose,
but it's something to do.

Will you be all right on
your own for a while?

All right, why don't
you go for a walk?

Get some air or something.

I will.

System is armed.

Ah, there she is.

How's it going?

Morning.

Hi.

Morning.

Merry Christmas.

Hello... Jesus Christ...

get away from me!

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

I just fix the window.

What?

Your husband, he told
me this was emergency.

My husband?

This will be a horrible
Christmas to you.

The alarm, how
did you turn it off?

He left me the piece of

paper, the pin to your alarm

is here, the numbers to your

alarm, just... relax, please.

Everything be all right.

I just fix the window.

Relax, just everything be

all right, let me explain.

Get out of my house...
No, don't, don't be angry

at me, I fix the window...
Get out of my house!

You get out of my house!

Get out of my house!

Stupid fuck...

Molly, you're here!

I changed the code.

You what?

You gave a stranger the code!

I'm sorry, could
you knock it off?

How could you do that to me?

Please turn it off.

I, I didn't... Move away.

Molly.

Move away.

O.K., O.K., I'm moving away.

System is disarmed.

I'm sorry.

All I thought about was
getting the window fixed.

I nearly died, I freaked.

I'm so, so sorry.

Please forgive me, Molly, I...

I'm going out of my mind, Mal.

No, no, no, you're not.

No, you're not going
out of your mind.

Everything is all right, O.K.?

I... it's completely my fault.

I wasn't thinking, I...
should've said something,

I just...

Listen, listen, there's...

there's another reason
why I was out for so long.

I got you something.

Something that might help.

It's out in the van.

Do you want to have a look?

Yeah?

All right.

Come on and have a look.

Come on.

A dog?

A watchdog.

I bumped into Mossie,
and he told me about him.

He said his owner died recently,

and the poor little fellow

might have to be put down.

Oh... what's his name?

Mossie said his
name was Scruffy.

Hello, Scruff.

He's lovely, isn't he?

Yeah.

Come on, we'll go inside.

Come on.

That's a good boy.

See, alarms are machines.

They're consistent, you know?

Mm-hmm. Predictable.

And he's not... you can
never be sure with a dog,

isn't that right? Oh, yes.

All right.

I'm gonna break in.

Maybe he's gone mad too, is he?

So, you're gonna
solve all our problems?

Keep our enemy away?

Let me sleep again?

Good boy, good boy.

Quiet, quiet now, shh.

Good dog, shh-shh-shh.

Yes, who's a good boy, huh?

Sounds good to me.

I'd definitely think twice
before I'd take him on.

So, do we keep him?

Remember, a dog
isn't just for Christmas.

Look at that face.

How can we turn him down?

Come on.

Have you a license
for that fellow?

Oh, hello.

Bit of extra protection,
what do you think?

Can't do any harm.

Scruffy, sit.

It's the uniform.

Affects people that
way too, sometimes.

Listen, Mal was a bit
wound up the other night.

Oh, sure, letting off steam.

You know, you were...
asking if someone was...

if this is personal.

Yeah.

Well, I was, um, thinking
about that estate agent

who was assaulted recently.

Yeah.

He sold me the house.

All right.

This seems very stupid,

but, um, the day I viewed the

house, this guy came after me.

I didn't really see him, but he

drove one of those jeeps.

Anyway, when I decided to buy

the house, the estate agent

had already accepted an offer

from this guy, but he said that

if I offered more,
then I could have it.

You gazumped him.

So, you think he might be

getting revenge because he was

done out of a house?

Does sound stupid, does it?

That'd be property
madness, all right.

I'll bear it in mind.

Come on.

And... there you go.

Hi.

Hello!

Happy New Year!

Good boy.

You were looking so happy,

we didn't like to disturb you.

Is it safe to come near you?

You might be licked to death.

Oh, isn't he gorgeous?

Aye, he's a grand old Fowler.

Are you training him?

Oh, you give her a break.

"Training him."

So long as he barks at those

God almighty intruders,
that's all she needs.

Well, he has a bark, all right.

He's made Christmas
for me, to be honest.

Of course he has.

Come on, come on.

Eh, what's he called?

Scruffy.

Eh, come on, Scruff, come on.

Hup the ball, come on.

Come on...

Come on.

We saw the "For sale" sign.

You're doing the right thing.

Oh, I hate giving up on it,

to be honest, but the break-ins

were only part of it.

Thought I'd find peace out here,

Jess, but... there's something

wrong about the whole place.

Something detached, adrift.

I mean, the way people live.

The point is they're not really

living here, they just...

sleep over and they'd actually

prefer to be somewhere else.

It's like this whole place just

dropped out of the sky

and landed in the wrong spot.

I'm right on the
edge, to be honest.

Oh, come here, love.

Mal must be wondering
what sort of a lunatic

he's landed with.

Scruffy was his idea.

Isn't he gorgeous?

The dog or Frank?

And... would you consider

going back to Luke
Masterson for a few sessions?

I've been thinking about it.

Come back to us, Molly.

You know we'd love to have you.

Hmm?

After all this crapping

on about "quality before
everything" and "too many

cowboy operations out there"

and how she's wise to them

because she knows what's what,

after all this, she decides to

go for the beech veneer
tongue and groove job.

And, and what's that?

I'll tell you, Frank.

It's the second
cheapest, that's what it is.

Which is also typical, right?

I mean, people like her

never get the cheapest because

they're afraid to look cheap.

They get the second-cheapest.

Which is fine, I mean,

no problem for me if she hadn't

have stood me there for

a half an hour bullshitting
about the importance

of quality work.

So, I thought to myself, "right.

I'm gonna make you change

your mind, Mrs. Klinyhill.

I'm gonna make you feel so bad

about picking the second

cheapest." He just couldn't,

you know, take the order.

So I says to her, "yeah,
yeah, very good, yeah.

Beech veneer.

Very popular choice, actually.

A lot of people going
for that one recently."

And she's not liking that.

"Makes my job easy,
to be honest," I says.

"Same old, same old
every day, you know?

Sure, I was in Tallaght for

two weeks putting that exact

floor in a load of
houses there."

Fantastic.

Tallaght folk,
that'd drive her mad.

Well, isn't he terrible?

Yeah, I could see it in
her eyes at this stage.

It was too easy, actually.

I flogged her the
solid oak parquet.

Can you believe it?

I, I don't know what it

means, but it sounds impressive.

It's more than four
times the price, Frank.

That's what it means.

And a 12-week waiting list.

More money than sense.

Wouldn't you love to
say something to her?

Ah, yeah.

Soon as she pays up, she'll hear

exactly what I think of her.

You will not.

For sure.

It'll be a buzz.

I can see why
you'd like to, Mal, but...

She's a bitch.

It's what she deserves, yeah?

Yeah?

Ah... gotcha.

Oh, come on, do you
really think I'd do that, huh?

You fecker.

I believed you.

Well, you had me.

I was thinking, "Uh-oh.

What have we here?"

Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.

Oh, listen, listen.

It's nearly time.

10... nine...
eight... seven...

'night...
Folks,

folks, a memorable night.

You are generous and gracious

hosts... I thank you.

And... Shut up, Frank,
and come to bed, come on.

See you in the morning.

Not too early, 1:00 brunch.

Mal, Mal, Mal, Mal, Mal.

I'm getting the fuck out
of here as soon as I can.

Will you stick with me?

Absolutely.

A new year, a new start.

Doesn't matter if it's

a hole in the ground
as long as it's normal.

Molly?

Molly!

Molly, come back,
sweetheart, it's O.K.

Molly?

Molly?

What's going on?

Molly, you awake, love?

Molly, come on.

Come back to the bed.

Everything is O.K.

Scruffy... Scruffy...

Scruffy, where are you, Scruffy?

Come here, come here!

Scruffy!

Don't do that to me!

Why are you letting
him do that, Mal?

No-no-no-no-no!

Listen to me!

Don't let me sleep, it's only

when I sleep that bad
things... bad... Mal... ♪

Scruffy?

Scruffy?

You're awake.

Wow, that was a marathon.

Over 30 hours.

How do you feel?

I don't know.

You look good.

Really, you do.

You needed to sleep so much.

Mal, what happened?

We'll talk about it later.

I don't know what's real
and what isn't anymore.

Just tell me, please?

Look, it wasn't anything
sinister, it was just an

unfortunate accident.

You need to rest now, anyway.

It's just been one
awful thing after another.

What have we done?

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

Jess told the
doctor about these.

He said maybe... you came off

them too quickly, so...
he gave me a prescription.

Here.

Do you want me to do it?

No.

Ah, Molly, my love.

Happy New Year.

Will you put these up for me?

Yeah, of course I will.

You've a dog?

We had a dog.

We don't know whether
he ran off or he was taken.

Oh... can't deny you've
had one hell of a doozer,

no doubt about that.

Oh, by the way, um, Mossie says

thanks for the Christmas prezzy.

But no way, he said, would he

ever go back to fix your
alarm system.

What?

"No way," he said.

A bit put out the same, Mossie,

me slagging him over
it, you know...

"No, when I install a system,

it's done right," says he.

Face on him like a boiled sweet.

So, is he having me on or what?

Eh?

No.

It's just a mix-up.

Will Joe stick them up?

Yeah.

It might not do any
good, you know that?

I know.

O.K.

There you go.

Did you set the alarm?

Yeah.

For what it's worth.

I know, but still.

Actually, no.

The worst thing is
waiting for it to go off.

Oh, Molly... calm down.

System is disarmed.

Now, at least we won't be

lying there waiting for
that to start screaming.

Why bother locking anything?

Stop it, Molly.

Stop it, I said.

Let's go to bed, do you hear me?

We're not giving into this.

I won't let you give into it.

O.K., if you like, whatever.

Mossie never came back
to fix the alarm. What?

Isn't that right?

Why did you say he did?

Where did you get
the idea he didn't?

I don't know what to think.

I'm gone mad already anyway.

Fucking mad!

Molly?

Molly.

Baby... there's someone
here to see the house.

I won't bring 'em up here,

so you can stay
as you are, O.K.?

O.K.

Yeah, it's spacious,
actually, and the, uh,

the oak shaker kitchen.

I like that.

Why didn't you answer
the door? Sorry?

The day I called.

Why didn't you answer the door?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

I was just being a
neighbor, just saying hello.

Look, we were at home
when you called... we just

weren't expecting visitors.

We weren't in the mood
for visitors, all right?

Do you understand?

Is that a problem for you?

No.

No, it's not, it's just...

well, you didn't even
reply to our invitation.

My God.

Even if it was only to refuse.

We're just not
interested in weird stuff.

What's weird about inviting

people for Christmas drinks?

Christmas drinks?

Yes.

I don't know what
planet you're on.

Come on, Peter.

Hold on.

Did you try to buy my house?

Was it you or your friend
came to view the house

the same day I did?

What?

Maybe not, you don't seem...

anyway, it doesn't matter now.

'cause I'm going.

I'm gone, we're going away.

"dear neighbor, do you wish

to open your hearts to
God and join our group?

At this special time of year,

help wash away
the sins of the world.

Spiritual renewal
can begin any time.

The church of the
brothers of Christ..."

"Contact us for any
information on induction.

All our welfare's in Christ.

Molly and Mal."

I didn't send this.

Great, so...
thanks very much, Jeff.

Nice to meet you, pal.

Thanks for coming over.

We'll be in touch, eh?

Uh, have you got a fag?

Good man.

It's, uh...

Molly.

Molly?

Don't let him in, please.

Please don't let him in!

Joe... Joe, Joe!

Molly, what's wrong?

Will you do me a favor, Joe?

Why, sure, if I can.

I need a lift straight away.

Well, sure, why?

What's ever happening?

O.K., so, Molly, uh, you go

around to the front of the shop.

You're not Joe.

Well, of course I am, love.

No, no, you're not.

Molly, Molly, hold on!

Jesus Christ.

Is she O.K., Moss?

Molly, are you all right?

But his ear is pierced too.

What? Tell her.

Oh, this? Well, uh...
I didn't get a chance

to tell you.

Get away from me... you're

both in on it. In on what?

Look, calm down, love.

Look, listen to him.

I saw the bike, Joe, or

Mossie or whichever one you are!

What are you talking about?

Did you say something?

No.

Molly, come back!

Stop, stop, stop, stop!

Molly, listen to Joe!

Come here!

I need to
get to Dublin, please!

Molly!

Thank you, thank you so much.

Is Luke here?

I have to see him.

Dr. Masterson is with
his last client for the day.

Now, if you want to make
an appointment, it'll be

at least three days.

No, it's an emergency, please.

I'm sorry?

Call him, he knows me.

Don't you remember me?

I remember your face, but...

you should know I can't
interrupt a consultation

under any circumstances.

Now, if you want me to
make an appointment, I...

come back here!

Hello?

Stop!

What are you doing?

I'm really sorry, Mr. Masterson.

It's O.K., it's O.K.,
Barbara, it's O.K.

What are you doing, Molly?

Please help me.

He's doing something to me.

He's trying to make me insane.

Who is?

Mal.

There's the burglaries, and now

I'm sure he's behind it all.

And Joe and Mossie are helping

him, and I saw the bike,

and he's been giving
me pills, and look, look...

All the neighbors

thought I sent these,
but it wasn't what I wrote.

I wrote invitations to a party.

It was Mal said, "Wait till

the morning before you post

'em," so he must have replaced

them during the night.

Molly, Molly, Molly... And
Mal said Mossie'd come

to fix the alarm, but Joe made

a mistake, and let it
slip that he hadn't. Stop.

It's all right.

Now, I'm with
someone at the moment.

And you know how important it is

not to interrupt a session.

You know I never
allow that, don't you?

I'm sorry, but
she said three days.

That's all right.

Wait here until I'm finished.

O.K.?

You're safe here, Molly.

Will you do that?

Will you be long?

Not long.

He doesn't know about you.

He won't find me here.

No.

You're absolutely
safe here, Molly.

Yes?

I understand.

Yes, no problem.

Thank you.

I'll get you a cuppa.

No, it's O.K.

You're grand.

It's no trouble.

Molly...
Molly...

Molly.

It's been a long while.

I know, I'm sorry.

No need for an apology.

Uh, Molly, I can't do

another session this evening.

I don't think it'd be
a good idea, anyway.

Tea?

No.

So, I contacted your friends.

I hope you don't mind.

Are you O.K., love?

What's going on?

Stay with us tonight,
and Luke will see you

in the morning.

Yes.

When we're fresh.

Then we'll sort
the whole thing out.

O.K.?

Come on with us.

We feel so responsible,
don't we, Frank?

Indeed.

Do you need
something to help you sleep?

Luke said you might.

No, I'm exhausted.

Thanks, Jess.

Molly, I have to explain
something to you.

The other night, new year's eve.

The business with poor
Scruffy disappearing.

It wasn't a burglary, pet.

It was Frank's fault.

He's mortified, he doesn't know

what to say to you.

He got up during the night

to go to the toilet, still drunk

of course, and nothing would

do him but go downstairs
for a drink of water.

He's stumbling around in the

dark and bangs off something.

Scruffy starts barking.

He panics completely and opens

the door to let him out, and

of course... sets the alarm off.

Well, you know the rest.

Frank is very upset.

Please forgive him, pet.

At least you know that Scruffy

just went wandering.

He might come back.

Good night, pet.

Are you all right, darling?

I'm sorry.

I forgot where I was.

Oh.

You're safe, Molly love.

Don't worry.

Look who's here.

Hello, Molly.

...poor baby.

Joe promised if he could just

meet her, he'd
explain everything.

And you'll take her

to see Luke in the morning?

Of course, of course.

Molly...

I just wanted it to be
you and me, you know?

No neighbors coming
around for Christmas drinks.

What can I say?

I'm sorry, all right?

I'm sorry.

We're awfully sorry, Molly.

You broke into the house.

Oh, not me, but I did

know about it, now, in fairness,

I have to say that, but...

it was Mossie, you know?

How many times?

Jesus, Mal, just the once.

See, Mossie was raging over

the Dublin crowd getting

the contract for the alarm.

You didn't stop him.

He said he wouldn't do much,

and he'd make it up to
you on the deal, you know?

I can get you the
bike now if you want.

I don't know what to say.

I'm sorry, Molly.

You know I phoned that
stupid fucking Garda with

that guy who called
around this morning.

You see, what happened,

it was one of those things.

I was showing him around,

you know, giving him the spiel,

and he said something to me

about how he liked the oak

shaker kitchen, but you see,

I never mentioned an oak shaker

kitchen... I mean,
where did he get it from?

He's the one who saw the
house the same day I did.

The guy I gazumped...
Yeah, that's what

the Garda said.

He seemed to know everything.

Why didn't you say
anything to me? Huh?

You didn't trust me.

Anyway, he said he'd bring

the guy in for questioning.

Look, maybe this guy is the one

who's been doing
all this, and if it is...

How do I know anymore,
Mal, if it's him or you

or Frank and Jess?!

Molly!

Maybe you're all in on it!

Luke Masterson, Mossie,
Joe... Mossie and Joe?

Yes!

Molly!

Come on...

Molly! Molly!

Open up!

Open the door!

System is disarmed.

Molly?

Molly... Molly, Molly.

Leave me alone!

Please stop doing
this to yourself.

What do you think is going on

here? Do you think
I'm trying to hurt you?

I don't know!

That's what's driving me mad!

You want to drive me mad!

Let me in, Molly.

Just let me talk to you.

No, let me sleep.

Sure, but I'm afraid
you'll harm yourself

if I leave you alone.

Molly, I want to hold you.

Please, just let me in, look,

let's hold each other, please.

Whatever's been happening
is awful, but we'll get

through it, Molly.

That's
how you did it, yes, yes.

I love you, Molly.

That's how

you did it, Mal, every time.

It was the panic
button, wasn't it?

Once you knew I was asleep,

you just had to reach out.

Oh, for Christ's sake,
I can just go down

and disarm it!

And I can press it again.

You turn off the alarm.

I'll keep turning it on.

Not without the key, you can't.

Molly?

Give me the key.

Please, this is just...

why would I want to hurt you?

All these terrible things,

there's nothing connected.

It's just random,
baby, it's all random.

If you give me the key,
you can lock yourself in,

and I'll leave you alone.

We'll, we'll get some sleep

and we'll talk about
it in the morning.

Come on, baby, give me the key.

Give me the key!

O.K.

O.K., just let me go!

Let go!

O.K., O.K.

Come on.

Give me the key.

Ah, Jesus, Molly, if you only

knew how much I
wanted you right now.

Hello?

Hello, is there
anybody in there?

If there's anybody there,
will you please answer?

If nobody speaks, we're going to

have to enter forcibly.

Hello, Molly, it's Jess.

This is me ringing your number.

Will you pick up if you can?

Molly? It's Frank here.

What's going on?

...my home, this is...

- Molly, please...
- For Christ's sake,

will someone say something?

This is my
home, this is my home,

this is my home...

...communicate
in any way, this is your

last chance!

...this is my home, this
is my home, this is my...
