Emulsion (2014) - full transcript
Emulsion is a Psychological Noir about a man looking for his missing wife, set on the south coast of England. When ISABELLA mysteriously disappears from a car park her husband, RONNY, becomes obsessed with finding her. In an attempt to stay close to her he even takes a job at the very same car park. It becomes his life. We join the story a year after the key events. Ronny lives alone in a dirty old apartment. He watches the same film on a projector every night. This is a nostalgic reel of 16mm film; memories of Isabella. Every morning Ronny packs his bags everyday to move on with his life, but he always slams on his brakes as he approaches a picturesque bridge on the edge of town, the place where he proposed to Isabella. Everyday he returns to the car park to continue his quest. Every night Ronny stands in the very spot Isabella went missing from and tries to retrace his own movements and recap on any clues. One night a prostitute is attacked in the car park and bundled into the boot of a car. Ronny chases the assailant deep into a forest where he eventually locates the car empty, apart from a reel of film. As Ronny avidly views the film he discovers the truth about his wife's disappearance that changes his life forever.
Last night I
dreamt that someone loved me.
- Can I help you mate?
- My wife.
You seen my wife?
They say in dreams we live and die.
But a year spent between those two worlds
becomes a lifetime,
neither sleeping nor awake.
But a story without an
ending is no story at all,
where the first page is the last
and the last page is missing.
Keep smiling.
- I am smiling.
Keep smiling.
- I am smiling.
I am smiling.
- Hello?
Pierre?
Does anyone have news about
my wife's disappearance?
- Like we said every week, Ronny...
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, you'll let me know.
- Why are you always
dressed like that, anyway?
- 'Cause these are my clothes.
- Why the gloves, it's not
like it's cold in here.
Are you cold?
- I'm not cold.
Are you cold?
- It's an odd story.
- Try us.
- It was about three years ago.
I'm home just hanging out.
There's a knock at the door.
I open the door and there's no one there.
Look down,
find a pair of shoes
sitting on the doormat.
Next night same thing happens.
More shoes?
- No, this time a shirt and a tie.
That night, same thing happens
for the next five nights
to a complete suit,
including a hat, gloves.
- And you didn't see who put them there?
- No.
- And you decided to put them on?
- Fitted me like a glove.
They were tailor made
for me, so I went out
See what would happen.
What it all meant.
That's when I met her.
- Isabella.
It was a beautiful day, in the park.
She sat down next to me.
Asked me where I got my suit from.
- Excuse me.
- She wanted to buy one for her father.
- Did you ever find out
where the clothes came from?
- No.
No, this isn't about me,
this has always been about Isabella.
- We'll call if we make any more leads.
♫ If you thought
- I noticed Tte poster
in the window's missing.
- Listen, Ronny, there was this guy
who came in tonight asking about you.
- What did he look like?
- Looked serious, kept
his distance, you know?
He just stood by the door.
Was wearing a long black coat and hat.
- What did he want?
Had a photograph of you.
- Of me?
- This photo, it was strange.
Looks like you but it wasn't.
- What do you mean?
- Your eyes, yes, but this
guy, he was too rough.
- What did you tell him?
- Ronny, I said nothing.
- Good man.
You think this has got
something to do with Isabella?
- He did take the poster in the window.
- How long was I out for?
- Since we left.
- Where are we, anyways?
- Nearly home.
- Aren't you going to change?
- Into what?
What's wrong?
- Nothing, I just want to get home.
- I've got a surprise for you.
- Something wrong, this
doesn't feel right.
- It won't take long.
You don't remember, do you?
- What?
- The bridge.
And where I proposed, don't you remember?
- I do remember now.
- I love you.
- You need to call Pierre.
- Who's Pierre?
- Trust me, you need to call him.
- Who is this guy?
- Great, my battery's flat.
- Isabella.
- Listen, you need to call him.
- Can't you just tell me?
- It's a surprise.
- All right, Billy.
Timothy
Uncle Jimmy said you might
have that job going again.
- We all suffer bouts
of selective perception
once in a while.
- What makes you so sure
Ronny's coming back this time?
- Says here the earth spins around the sun
at 67,000 miles an hour
and it always comes back around.
- You looking for another job?
- You'd like me to look
for a new job, would ya?
- If you'd actually been doing your job
you would have seen who took his wife
or had a recording but you don't.
Is that why he works here?
You're feeling guilty?
Look, why would you employ
someone that packs his bags
and leaves you every single day?
- Because
he's the kind of guy that
comes back every single day.
Hey.
- Evening.
- He he still after my job?
- Does the pope shit in the woods?
Well we're all gonna need
a new job soon anyway.
- How do you mean?
- Well, looks like they're
gonna sell this place,
knock it down, no one
fucking parks here anymore.
- And how am I gonna find her?
- You know what, you
really should get out more.
You know, get yourself hotel
room, bottle of whiskey,
couple of hookers, knock yourself out.
Release the pressure.
- Yeah, thanks.
- It's a surprise
Please, call him for me.

- My father used to tell me stories
when things were getting me down.
Legend has it that many
years ago in the valley
there lived a prince, and this prince
kidnapped Camilla Montague,
a local violinist.
He told Camilla that she was composing
the most beautiful rendition
that man has ever had
but for for his ears only
to be played on the night he becomes king.
It can only be performed the once
and the prince would order
Camilla to be executed
on stage by his guards so she
could never play it again.
Well, for many years Camilla prayed
that the prince could never become king.
And somehow she would
escape back to her husband.
But Camilla, she was a very clever woman.
- So what did she do?
- Well, the night came when
the prince finally became king
and Camilla was on stage.
- What happened?
- She pulled back her
bow, took a deep breath,
and smiled at the king.
The music she played,
the music was so beautiful that it,
so tragic and full of so much pain
that it broke the new king's heart.
The king died on the spot.
You know they say Camilla
is still playing even today.
The king's men can't kill her.
- What about the husband?
- He's still waiting for her.
- What does this all mean?
Do you need more time?
Just so you know, it's not me, it's them.
They just, they just wanna
know what you found out.
Is it the money?
This is all they gave me.
Do you want me to ask for some more?
- Stay with me.
And only me forever.
Why stay
when you can go?
And I want go home?
- I don't think I'm ready for this.
This film.
- Sorry?
You can never be ready
for something like this.
- This film always ends the same,
every time I watch it.
- Your favourite film?
- Yes, but I was hoping
for a happier ending,
a better one, but it always ends the same.
- At the pictures again?
- Sorry about that.
Everything cool?
- As an Eskimo.
- What's wrong with you?
- Nothing, can't one smile anymore?
- You look guilty.
- See you later sport, have a good shift.
- Can I help you?
- I'm a friend of Billy's.
And he said you were kind of lonely.
He said I could help you.
There's a woman and she goes to the cinema
every day and watches the same film
over and over...
And Over again
She wants the story to change.
She wants a new ending,
a different ending.
No matter how many times she goes there,
the ending to the film is still the same.
She still comes back every single day.
How do you want the story to go?
How do you want it to end?
- I have a request.
- That's better.
- Turn around.
That's better.
Where are you?
- Where dreams go to live...
...and die!
- What the fuck's wrong with you?
- Sorry.
- Sorry?
Billy said you were a nice guy.
- I got scared.
- I'm still scared.
Order me a cab.
- Can I book a taxi, please?
Put it on the account.
Hello?
Ronny.
- Billy.
Is Amy with you?
- Yeah, she is.
Not really what I'm about, you know?
That's great, really
happy for you, Where is she?
- She went out to wait for a cab.
Right, keep her there
- What's wrong, Billy?
Amy, Ronny, stay right where you are.
- Hello, Ronny, I've been looking for you.
Hey, where's Amy?
- Did you just see a black car leave?
- No, why, where is she?
- Let me show you something.
- Ron, what the fuck's going on?
It's empty.
- What?
Well, he must have taken it.
Who?
Well the guy who took Amy!
- Well, you got his registration, right?
- We have to call the police.
This must be the same
guy who took Isabella.
- Don't, you've got no fucking evidence.
Fine, call, but don't give them my name.
I don't want this getting back to me.
- Right, good man.
- I'll see what the street is saying.
- Speak to detective Barry Stevens?
Ronnie Maze.
- So you think this is the same
man who attacked your wife?
- Don't know what happened to my wife.
- Of course you got the reg
number, though, didn't you?
Come on, let's have it.
- So... you and this Amy,
you say you just danced?
- That's right.
- Nothing else?
- No.
- And this black car,
have you got the security tape?
- I told you, no.
- What do you have?
- Seems to me all you have are stories.
- You guys aren't gonna
do anything, are you?
- Where's the girl?
- Don't worry, I'll find her.
- You know Billy, my father was a dentist.
He said it's not food
that rots ones teeth,
but every lie we tell.
- Time to reap what you sow, Billy,
You know how it is, you
don't return the girl...
- Please let me finish my drink.
- There you go.
- Please let her finish this song.
- Unless she's cupid, she
doesn't stand a chance.
Find the girl or leave town.
Your choice, Billy.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- You told the police?
- Never seen you like this.
- I just need to get away for here.
- Did you tell Amy's people what happened?
- I don't know what
dreamworld you live in, mate,
but in this one these
guys, they'd shoot an angel
in the back to get what they want.
- Billy, I'm sorry.
- Ronny, where were you
when your wife went missing?
- What do you mean?
- That's two women who
have gone missing now
- I told you, I had to make a call.
- Yeah, who were you calling?
- Pierre.
- Who the fuck is Pierre?
- I don't know.
- That's not much you do know, is there?
You leave your wife alone in
a car parked late at night
in a strange town to make a call
to a man you don't fucking know?
After looking out for you, you fucked me.
- I never asked.
- Just... Let it be, all right?
- Where will you go?
- Probably the same place as your wife...
As far away from you as possible.
Where the fuck were you
when she went missing?
If you were doing your job properly,
we wouldn't be here, would we?
I've got something to tell you.
- Keep smiling.
- I am smiling.
Smiling.
- Hello?
It's me.
- Who is this?
This about Isabella?
Stop doing that.
- Who is this?
Stop doing
that, something to tell you.
- Doing what?
Stop
rewinding it back and forth.
- I'm sorry, I don't understand.
That's right.
That's me in the phone box,
been trying to call you.
- What do you want?
You Keep
going forward, keep rewinding.
- Listen.
There's a man...
He lives deep in the
woods, it's a dark place.
Where dreams live and die.
He's the one, he's the one doing all this.
- Doing what?
They watch you
Measure you up.
Work you out.
They make the clothes fit.
- Is he the one who's got Isabella?
Who is he?
He's the one.
- What has he done with her?
Hello?
- Someone just called me from this number.
I think with time travel
we could be using that as a
means of changing something,
viewing something, being able to see.
We don't feel we can go back in time
because we would change the future.
I think the idea of going forward in time.
Speak of that would be fascinating.
- Isabella?
Isabella?
Isabella?
Isabella.
Amy.
Thank God you're okay.
- I'm not okay.
- Who is he?
Who is he?
- I don't know.
- What did he want with you?
- Information.
- About what?
- You.
- Me?
- Yeah, you.
- I have to get you back to Billy.
- I'm going nowhere with you.
He's getting away.
- I've toyed with him.
I've played with him, in
fact, he's watching me.
Right now.
He really has no idea
how deep all this goes.
I think it's time he took
a peek behind the curtain.
- Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you.
I was just admiring your splendid suit.
I was wondering if you could tell me
where you got it from?
- Isabella.
- I need to buy one for my father.
- It's a long story.
- Try me.
- Hello?
Hello, Ronny,
I've been looking for you.
- How long have you been
watching me and my wife?
Got the evidence right here you sick fuck.
Where is she?
Isabella.
- Is she?
Is she still alive?
Of course.
- Tell me where she is.
The last time I
saw her she was in a dark place
with a sword to her neck,
praying the prince
would never become king.
- I'll do anything, just tell
me what you want me to do.
I want you to meet me.
- Will you tell me where she is?
Meet me at the bridge at seven
and I'll take you to her myself.
- Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you
but I was just admiring
your splendid suit.
I was wondering if you could
advise me where you got it from
as I need to find one for my father.
- I'm sorry, but it's a really long story.
Black Jaguar...
- So,
Troy Westwood.
You're a private detective.
- Right.
Why not start with something I don't know?
And get me a nice cup of coffee
while you're at it, angel.
- You're a long way from home.
What are you doing here?
- My client's reported someone missing.
- What clients?
- You know that's confidential.
It's a long word, should
I spell that for you?
- This who you're looking for?
- Is this the person?
- No.
- No?
- All that drum and bass made you deaf?
- Do you know this woman or not?
- Sure.
Do you
know this man?
- That's confidential.
- Yeah, we know him.
- Are you sure you know him
or you just know of him?
They're two very different things.
- Hi.
Where the hell have you been?
- Sorry?
- I reported this stolen,
and all the time you had it.
- What do you mean?
- The car.
Got the keys?
- I'm not giving you my keys.
- I see, bit too big
for your boots, are we?
- Listen, I don't know you.
- And I thought I knew you, buddy.
- You know me?
You don't know me.
- No, no, obviously no.
- Isabella.
Where are you going now?
- Isabella!!
Isabella.
Is...
Nice dress, it suits you.
Thanks.
- I'm sorry to bother you,
I was just admiring your splendid suit.
Oh, hello, where have you been?
- Who are you people?
Why are you dressed like that?
- Because they're my clothes.
- No, they're my wife's clothes.
What have you done with her?
- Are you okay mate?
- Where's Isabella?
- Why are you always dressed like that?
- Aren't you going to change?
- Into what?
Into what?
- Remember, prop cars
aren't for you to keep.
Here you go, keep your piece
of shit car, your majesty.
- Must be blood on their swords,
their fight is noble.
The fool has forgotten the broken blood,
and when the passion and
vitriol all become plucid,
the orgy of the battle
becomes doused in water
and fades into the stream.
I beg of you,
Walk wisely, look back thankfully
as I do as your king.
- Keep it real, good, good, good, great.
Haven't seen you in ages,
where have you been?
- Looking for her.
- She's moved up in this world.
She's really going places.
Pierre has done wonders for her.
- Pierre?
- Between you and me, the
same thing he did for you.
- What'd he do for me?
- Don't worry, I won't tell a soul.
- Is Pierre here?
- No.
- I still love you.
- The king is dead, long live the king.
- Isabella.
Isabella, it's me.
- This isn't real.
There's a man, he lives deep in the woods.
He's the one, he's the
one doing all of this.
I'm not your wife.
You know that, don't you?
I do now.
This isn't
real, this isn't real.
I'm not your wife, you
know that don't you?
You know that don't you?
- How long is this going to take?
- Well, took you long
enough to find Ronny.
- Well, the longer it takes me
the more I get paid, what's your excuse?
- Listen, Ronny was an
actor in some TV drama
but he went missing
after the first episode
about a year ago.
They had him replaced with
that guy from that horror film,
Sat on the Barge, remember?
Jaw Lock... I like that movie.
- Anyway, they said he
couldn't stay in character
so they sent him to see a hypnotherapist,
Dr. Pierre Vallade.
- And he's still living
there, then, isn't he?
- Who?
- Well as you refer to him, Ronny.
Where?
- There, where the sea is black,
black like the lungs of
a chain smoking whore.
- Working in the coal mines of hell.
- Jaw Lock now, is it?
- Yeah, good movie.
- I can't believe you
left it so long to see me.
Now, just relax and
take a few deep breaths.
Now, remove your hat.
That's it, one by one.
Remove each layer.
Letting go of Ronny with every breath.
Repeat after me,
last night I dreamt that someone loved me.
- Last night, I dreamt
that someone loved me.
- When you hear me clap this
hypnotic state will be over.
Ronny will be gone.
What is your name?
I said, what is your name?
- My name?
My name is Salvador.

- Our story was going nowhere.
It was never gonna change.
It was always the same, no
matter how much we tried.
- What story?
- I just wanted a different
ending, a happy ending.
You're hurting me.
- So are you.
- It's all right, it's on me.

Enough.
On your knees.
Come to me.

But a year spent between those two worlds
becomes a lifetime,
neither sleeping nor awake.
But a story without an
ending is no story at all,
where the first page is the last
and the last page is missing.
Keep smiling.
- I am smiling.
Keep smiling.
- I am smiling.
I am smiling.
- Hello?
Pierre?
Does anyone have news about
my wife's disappearance?
- Like we said every week, Ronny...
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, you'll let me know.
- Why are you always
dressed like that, anyway?
- 'Cause these are my clothes.
- Why the gloves, it's not
like it's cold in here.
Are you cold?
- I'm not cold.
Are you cold?
- It's an odd story.
- Try us.
- It was about three years ago.
I'm home just hanging out.
There's a knock at the door.
I open the door and there's no one there.
Look down,
find a pair of shoes
sitting on the doormat.
Next night same thing happens.
More shoes?
- No, this time a shirt and a tie.
That night, same thing happens
for the next five nights
to a complete suit,
including a hat, gloves.
- And you didn't see who put them there?
- No.
- And you decided to put them on?
- Fitted me like a glove.
They were tailor made
for me, so I went out
See what would happen.
What it all meant.
That's when I met her.
- Isabella.
It was a beautiful day, in the park.
She sat down next to me.
Asked me where I got my suit from.
- Excuse me.
- She wanted to buy one for her father.
- Did you ever find out
where the clothes came from?
- No.
No, this isn't about me,
this has always been about Isabella.
- We'll call if we make any more leads.
♫ If you thought
- I noticed Tte poster
in the window's missing.
- Listen, Ronny, there was this guy
who came in tonight asking about you.
- What did he look like?
- Looked serious, kept
his distance, you know?
He just stood by the door.
Was wearing a long black coat and hat.
- What did he want?
Had a photograph of you.
- Of me?
- This photo, it was strange.
Looks like you but it wasn't.
- What do you mean?
- Your eyes, yes, but this
guy, he was too rough.
- What did you tell him?
- Ronny, I said nothing.
- Good man.
You think this has got
something to do with Isabella?
- He did take the poster in the window.
- How long was I out for?
- Since we left.
- Where are we, anyways?
- Nearly home.
- Aren't you going to change?
- Into what?
What's wrong?
- Nothing, I just want to get home.
- I've got a surprise for you.
- Something wrong, this
doesn't feel right.
- It won't take long.
You don't remember, do you?
- What?
- The bridge.
And where I proposed, don't you remember?
- I do remember now.
- I love you.
- You need to call Pierre.
- Who's Pierre?
- Trust me, you need to call him.
- Who is this guy?
- Great, my battery's flat.
- Isabella.
- Listen, you need to call him.
- Can't you just tell me?
- It's a surprise.
- All right, Billy.
Timothy
Uncle Jimmy said you might
have that job going again.
- We all suffer bouts
of selective perception
once in a while.
- What makes you so sure
Ronny's coming back this time?
- Says here the earth spins around the sun
at 67,000 miles an hour
and it always comes back around.
- You looking for another job?
- You'd like me to look
for a new job, would ya?
- If you'd actually been doing your job
you would have seen who took his wife
or had a recording but you don't.
Is that why he works here?
You're feeling guilty?
Look, why would you employ
someone that packs his bags
and leaves you every single day?
- Because
he's the kind of guy that
comes back every single day.
Hey.
- Evening.
- He he still after my job?
- Does the pope shit in the woods?
Well we're all gonna need
a new job soon anyway.
- How do you mean?
- Well, looks like they're
gonna sell this place,
knock it down, no one
fucking parks here anymore.
- And how am I gonna find her?
- You know what, you
really should get out more.
You know, get yourself hotel
room, bottle of whiskey,
couple of hookers, knock yourself out.
Release the pressure.
- Yeah, thanks.
- It's a surprise
Please, call him for me.

- My father used to tell me stories
when things were getting me down.
Legend has it that many
years ago in the valley
there lived a prince, and this prince
kidnapped Camilla Montague,
a local violinist.
He told Camilla that she was composing
the most beautiful rendition
that man has ever had
but for for his ears only
to be played on the night he becomes king.
It can only be performed the once
and the prince would order
Camilla to be executed
on stage by his guards so she
could never play it again.
Well, for many years Camilla prayed
that the prince could never become king.
And somehow she would
escape back to her husband.
But Camilla, she was a very clever woman.
- So what did she do?
- Well, the night came when
the prince finally became king
and Camilla was on stage.
- What happened?
- She pulled back her
bow, took a deep breath,
and smiled at the king.
The music she played,
the music was so beautiful that it,
so tragic and full of so much pain
that it broke the new king's heart.
The king died on the spot.
You know they say Camilla
is still playing even today.
The king's men can't kill her.
- What about the husband?
- He's still waiting for her.
- What does this all mean?
Do you need more time?
Just so you know, it's not me, it's them.
They just, they just wanna
know what you found out.
Is it the money?
This is all they gave me.
Do you want me to ask for some more?
- Stay with me.
And only me forever.
Why stay
when you can go?
And I want go home?
- I don't think I'm ready for this.
This film.
- Sorry?
You can never be ready
for something like this.
- This film always ends the same,
every time I watch it.
- Your favourite film?
- Yes, but I was hoping
for a happier ending,
a better one, but it always ends the same.
- At the pictures again?
- Sorry about that.
Everything cool?
- As an Eskimo.
- What's wrong with you?
- Nothing, can't one smile anymore?
- You look guilty.
- See you later sport, have a good shift.
- Can I help you?
- I'm a friend of Billy's.
And he said you were kind of lonely.
He said I could help you.
There's a woman and she goes to the cinema
every day and watches the same film
over and over...
And Over again
She wants the story to change.
She wants a new ending,
a different ending.
No matter how many times she goes there,
the ending to the film is still the same.
She still comes back every single day.
How do you want the story to go?
How do you want it to end?
- I have a request.
- That's better.
- Turn around.
That's better.
Where are you?
- Where dreams go to live...
...and die!
- What the fuck's wrong with you?
- Sorry.
- Sorry?
Billy said you were a nice guy.
- I got scared.
- I'm still scared.
Order me a cab.
- Can I book a taxi, please?
Put it on the account.
Hello?
Ronny.
- Billy.
Is Amy with you?
- Yeah, she is.
Not really what I'm about, you know?
That's great, really
happy for you, Where is she?
- She went out to wait for a cab.
Right, keep her there
- What's wrong, Billy?
Amy, Ronny, stay right where you are.
- Hello, Ronny, I've been looking for you.
Hey, where's Amy?
- Did you just see a black car leave?
- No, why, where is she?
- Let me show you something.
- Ron, what the fuck's going on?
It's empty.
- What?
Well, he must have taken it.
Who?
Well the guy who took Amy!
- Well, you got his registration, right?
- We have to call the police.
This must be the same
guy who took Isabella.
- Don't, you've got no fucking evidence.
Fine, call, but don't give them my name.
I don't want this getting back to me.
- Right, good man.
- I'll see what the street is saying.
- Speak to detective Barry Stevens?
Ronnie Maze.
- So you think this is the same
man who attacked your wife?
- Don't know what happened to my wife.
- Of course you got the reg
number, though, didn't you?
Come on, let's have it.
- So... you and this Amy,
you say you just danced?
- That's right.
- Nothing else?
- No.
- And this black car,
have you got the security tape?
- I told you, no.
- What do you have?
- Seems to me all you have are stories.
- You guys aren't gonna
do anything, are you?
- Where's the girl?
- Don't worry, I'll find her.
- You know Billy, my father was a dentist.
He said it's not food
that rots ones teeth,
but every lie we tell.
- Time to reap what you sow, Billy,
You know how it is, you
don't return the girl...
- Please let me finish my drink.
- There you go.
- Please let her finish this song.
- Unless she's cupid, she
doesn't stand a chance.
Find the girl or leave town.
Your choice, Billy.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- You told the police?
- Never seen you like this.
- I just need to get away for here.
- Did you tell Amy's people what happened?
- I don't know what
dreamworld you live in, mate,
but in this one these
guys, they'd shoot an angel
in the back to get what they want.
- Billy, I'm sorry.
- Ronny, where were you
when your wife went missing?
- What do you mean?
- That's two women who
have gone missing now
- I told you, I had to make a call.
- Yeah, who were you calling?
- Pierre.
- Who the fuck is Pierre?
- I don't know.
- That's not much you do know, is there?
You leave your wife alone in
a car parked late at night
in a strange town to make a call
to a man you don't fucking know?
After looking out for you, you fucked me.
- I never asked.
- Just... Let it be, all right?
- Where will you go?
- Probably the same place as your wife...
As far away from you as possible.
Where the fuck were you
when she went missing?
If you were doing your job properly,
we wouldn't be here, would we?
I've got something to tell you.
- Keep smiling.
- I am smiling.
Smiling.
- Hello?
It's me.
- Who is this?
This about Isabella?
Stop doing that.
- Who is this?
Stop doing
that, something to tell you.
- Doing what?
Stop
rewinding it back and forth.
- I'm sorry, I don't understand.
That's right.
That's me in the phone box,
been trying to call you.
- What do you want?
You Keep
going forward, keep rewinding.
- Listen.
There's a man...
He lives deep in the
woods, it's a dark place.
Where dreams live and die.
He's the one, he's the one doing all this.
- Doing what?
They watch you
Measure you up.
Work you out.
They make the clothes fit.
- Is he the one who's got Isabella?
Who is he?
He's the one.
- What has he done with her?
Hello?
- Someone just called me from this number.
I think with time travel
we could be using that as a
means of changing something,
viewing something, being able to see.
We don't feel we can go back in time
because we would change the future.
I think the idea of going forward in time.
Speak of that would be fascinating.
- Isabella?
Isabella?
Isabella?
Isabella.
Amy.
Thank God you're okay.
- I'm not okay.
- Who is he?
Who is he?
- I don't know.
- What did he want with you?
- Information.
- About what?
- You.
- Me?
- Yeah, you.
- I have to get you back to Billy.
- I'm going nowhere with you.
He's getting away.
- I've toyed with him.
I've played with him, in
fact, he's watching me.
Right now.
He really has no idea
how deep all this goes.
I think it's time he took
a peek behind the curtain.
- Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you.
I was just admiring your splendid suit.
I was wondering if you could tell me
where you got it from?
- Isabella.
- I need to buy one for my father.
- It's a long story.
- Try me.
- Hello?
Hello, Ronny,
I've been looking for you.
- How long have you been
watching me and my wife?
Got the evidence right here you sick fuck.
Where is she?
Isabella.
- Is she?
Is she still alive?
Of course.
- Tell me where she is.
The last time I
saw her she was in a dark place
with a sword to her neck,
praying the prince
would never become king.
- I'll do anything, just tell
me what you want me to do.
I want you to meet me.
- Will you tell me where she is?
Meet me at the bridge at seven
and I'll take you to her myself.
- Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you
but I was just admiring
your splendid suit.
I was wondering if you could
advise me where you got it from
as I need to find one for my father.
- I'm sorry, but it's a really long story.
Black Jaguar...
- So,
Troy Westwood.
You're a private detective.
- Right.
Why not start with something I don't know?
And get me a nice cup of coffee
while you're at it, angel.
- You're a long way from home.
What are you doing here?
- My client's reported someone missing.
- What clients?
- You know that's confidential.
It's a long word, should
I spell that for you?
- This who you're looking for?
- Is this the person?
- No.
- No?
- All that drum and bass made you deaf?
- Do you know this woman or not?
- Sure.
Do you
know this man?
- That's confidential.
- Yeah, we know him.
- Are you sure you know him
or you just know of him?
They're two very different things.
- Hi.
Where the hell have you been?
- Sorry?
- I reported this stolen,
and all the time you had it.
- What do you mean?
- The car.
Got the keys?
- I'm not giving you my keys.
- I see, bit too big
for your boots, are we?
- Listen, I don't know you.
- And I thought I knew you, buddy.
- You know me?
You don't know me.
- No, no, obviously no.
- Isabella.
Where are you going now?
- Isabella!!
Isabella.
Is...
Nice dress, it suits you.
Thanks.
- I'm sorry to bother you,
I was just admiring your splendid suit.
Oh, hello, where have you been?
- Who are you people?
Why are you dressed like that?
- Because they're my clothes.
- No, they're my wife's clothes.
What have you done with her?
- Are you okay mate?
- Where's Isabella?
- Why are you always dressed like that?
- Aren't you going to change?
- Into what?
Into what?
- Remember, prop cars
aren't for you to keep.
Here you go, keep your piece
of shit car, your majesty.
- Must be blood on their swords,
their fight is noble.
The fool has forgotten the broken blood,
and when the passion and
vitriol all become plucid,
the orgy of the battle
becomes doused in water
and fades into the stream.
I beg of you,
Walk wisely, look back thankfully
as I do as your king.
- Keep it real, good, good, good, great.
Haven't seen you in ages,
where have you been?
- Looking for her.
- She's moved up in this world.
She's really going places.
Pierre has done wonders for her.
- Pierre?
- Between you and me, the
same thing he did for you.
- What'd he do for me?
- Don't worry, I won't tell a soul.
- Is Pierre here?
- No.
- I still love you.
- The king is dead, long live the king.
- Isabella.
Isabella, it's me.
- This isn't real.
There's a man, he lives deep in the woods.
He's the one, he's the
one doing all of this.
I'm not your wife.
You know that, don't you?
I do now.
This isn't
real, this isn't real.
I'm not your wife, you
know that don't you?
You know that don't you?
- How long is this going to take?
- Well, took you long
enough to find Ronny.
- Well, the longer it takes me
the more I get paid, what's your excuse?
- Listen, Ronny was an
actor in some TV drama
but he went missing
after the first episode
about a year ago.
They had him replaced with
that guy from that horror film,
Sat on the Barge, remember?
Jaw Lock... I like that movie.
- Anyway, they said he
couldn't stay in character
so they sent him to see a hypnotherapist,
Dr. Pierre Vallade.
- And he's still living
there, then, isn't he?
- Who?
- Well as you refer to him, Ronny.
Where?
- There, where the sea is black,
black like the lungs of
a chain smoking whore.
- Working in the coal mines of hell.
- Jaw Lock now, is it?
- Yeah, good movie.
- I can't believe you
left it so long to see me.
Now, just relax and
take a few deep breaths.
Now, remove your hat.
That's it, one by one.
Remove each layer.
Letting go of Ronny with every breath.
Repeat after me,
last night I dreamt that someone loved me.
- Last night, I dreamt
that someone loved me.
- When you hear me clap this
hypnotic state will be over.
Ronny will be gone.
What is your name?
I said, what is your name?
- My name?
My name is Salvador.
