Kaleidoscope (2016) - full transcript

Hello?

Hello?

Well, I... I must have

just missed you.

Yeah, I just got back

so I was wondering

if you could

maybe come..

What?

No, it's not

a complaint.

It... it's just, you said

it would probably be

some time this afternoon

I was sort of

depending on.

Uh, yeah, it,

it fills up with water

and then it

just... just stops.

Through here.

Afternoon.

I can't speak.

They're going to leave me

to die up here.

You must promise

to bury me.

I can always

carry you down.

If they don't

fix them lifts soon

I'm going to jump down.

Then you'll see

how quick they move.

Did you see

the police was here?

They found something..

...body parts I heard.

Oh, they didn't have

any palm oil

so I went to that shop

around the corner.

Oh.

Uh-ah.

I didn't know you cared.

No, no, no, that..

It's... it's wrong bag.

It's all mixed up.

Does she have a name?

Kitten Gloves 35.

So tell me

you're not wearing that.

Well, it's... it's the

only clean shirt I've got.

The agency were meant

to come round and fix

the washing machine.

So have one

of Jonah's.

Oh, no,

that's alright.

Then what am I keeping

them for?

Well, if you're sure.

Hello?

Hello.

Hello. We are not

available at the moment.

Please leave your name

and number after the tone

and we will return your

call as soon as possible.

I didn't expect

you'd pick up.

Only what it was is..

...I've an,

an appointment in London

tomorrow

and... well, I was hoping

maybe we could..

But maybe I'll

call back.

Fucking hell.

No wonder you

gave up smoking.

- In here?

- Oh, yeah. Hold on.

- Drink?

- Oh, yeah.

You sit down if you like,

I... I'll get you one.

I bet you don't get much

gardening done up here.

Oh, no.

That's just my business.

Well, gonna be

once I get a van.

Mm.

You've got

a businessman's face.

I'd rather have

his wallet.

What are these?

Oh, herbs.

Ooh! Huh.

My mum used to buy those

basil plants in a pot.

- Ocimum basilicum.

- Hm.

But the leaves

keep going black.

I think she just likes

the smell of it

on her fingers.

Your mum's probably got

a touch of black spot.

Uh, it's easier to grow

basil from the seed.

Preferably facing

the equator.

- Ooh, is that right?

- Yeah.

They actually don't like

this climate very much.

- Do you mind if I, uh..

- Oh. Yeah.

Oh, cheers.

So, where's all your,

em... stuff?

Stuff?

Yeah, you know, stuff.

I don't really

have much stuff.

Hm.

Sea breeze?

How did you know that?

You put it down

as one of your likes.

Oh, very good.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

- Oh.

- Oh, God!

Sorry, I, I couldn't

find any cranberry

so I had to

use blackcurrant.

And you?

You haven't had

a proper drink all night.

Alcohol a problem,

is it?

No, it's just..

- No.

- What?

Sends me off.

Where to?

I don't know,

somewhere else.

Isn't that the idea?

Have you got any music?

iPod or somethin'?

You got a radio?

Oh, that sets

the neighbor's dog off.

Aah, that's his problem.

Well, he's

pretty aggressive.

What sort of dog is it?

No, I didn't mean

the dog.

- Where's your dog anyway?

- I haven't got a dog.

You said you had a dog.

- I don't get along with dogs.

- On your profile.

You said that

you were an animal lover.

Well, animals are okay.

So what else have you

lied about then?

No, no, it's was just..

You look at other people's

profiles, you..

got to put something down,

haven't you?

How many girls have you

bought back here then?

- From the site?

- Hm.

I don't know, but some.

- Name one then.

- What?

A girl that you

bought back here.

- Uh, how do you mean?

- Come on, you're stallin'.

- Rosie. Rose.

- Rose.

Yeah. Up from the country,

was she?

Well... well,

what's your real name?

Come on, let's look up

her profile.

Where's your computer?

Ah, I use the one

at the library.

You're a sneaky snake.

So what does that

make you?

- Thirsty.

- Same again?

Yep.

And hold

the blackcurrant, yeah.

We used to have a dog,

years ago.

Before you had

to pick up the turds.

How did you

end up here then?

Doesn't fit.

You don't fit.

That shirt.

What're you

talking about?

It's, it's hand made.

- It's a genuine one off.

- Hm.

No wonder.

Would you say that

that I was your sort?

Sorry.

Men, they either go

for their mothers

or the opposite.

And I'm guessing..

Um, your nose is, uh..

Oh. Uh.

Um.

- I've got these, do you..

- No, it's alright.

- Are you sure?

- Ugh.

Shit.

Telescope.

Are you okay?

You've got

to turn that down.

- Oh, come on.

- Come on, he'll go mad.

If he's got a problem

he can come

and fuck with me.

Were you looking

for something?

Uh, cigarette papers.

- I don't smoke.

- You don't drink.

You don't smoke,

you don't dance.

Maybe you'd rather

read a book.

Sorry.

What's your name?

- Cheers!

- Cheers!

If it sends you

off somewhere

I'll come and get you.

Whoo!

Whoo!

Come on.

Yeah. That's it.

Come on.

Whoo!

How long since

you've been out?

How do you mean?

How do you think I mean?

Come here.

That's it, hold on tight.

Give us a twirl.

No, me.

That's it.

Again.

And again.

Yeah. Whoo!

Oh!

Are you alright?

Are you alright?

Abby?

I'm gonna be sick.

I didn't expect

you'd pick up.

Only what it was is..

...I have an, an

appointment in London

tomorrow and well,

I was hoping

maybe we could..

But maybe

I'll call back.

This is Aileen's phone.

Leave a mess..

This is Aileen's phone.

Leave a message,

loud and clear

for an old lady.

I don't want you here.

- So don't...

- Do you mind?

I, uh,

I borrowed a T-shirt.

Where've you gone?

You're not speaking

to me now?

- You already had papers.

- What?

You said you were looking

for cigarette papers.

They were in my bag.

Loose a fridge in that.

Who was that

on the phone?

Are you in trouble?

You can tell me.

I know what trouble

looks like

I got married to it.

He's not my husband

for much longer.

Even sold my ring.

Dick.

What... what are you

doing here?

I'm trying to be nice.

Do you wanna know

why I chose you?

Because you looked

like a pushover.

That's the routine.

See.

Now I am being nice

and honest.

I actually think

you're alright.

Oh, fine then.

And it's Abby.

By the way,

since you're askin'.

I'm sorry.

Um..

...I got out

about a year ago.

I'm not asking you

to stay with me.

You, you can sleep

on the bed.

I'll go on

the sofa downstairs.

I've got eggs and bacon.

Hello.

See how

the colors change.

Uh, the door's stuck.

I can't open the door.

The door's stuck.

I'm so sorry,

I'm so sorry.

At least, forgive,

forgive me for this.

Here.

Sit down. Sit down.

Get up.

I'm so sorry.

If it sends you

off somewhere.

I'll come and get you.

Hello, we are not

available at the moment

please leave your name

and number after the tone

and we will

return your call

as soon as possible.

I didn't expect

you'd pick up.

Only what it was is..

...I have an,

an appointment in London

tomorrow and..

Your nice neighbor

let me in.

I took a tumble..

...coming up

on the concrete steps.

Clumsy idiot.

I even tore my dress.

I doubt it will get

all the dirt out.

I was hoping you might

have a plaster.

Do you have a plaster?

Could you help me

with a plaster?

I'm not touching you.

Shut the door

on your way out.

I might at least

clean myself up.

I've been travelling

all day.

Sink's over there.

Get away from it.

I don't know

how to stop it.

It just started

making a noise.

Just leave. Now.

Well, it's dark.

Where would I go?

Out!

Maybe your neighbor

has a sofa.

You're not to go

over there.

Then where do I go?

I don't care.

You can't stay there.

One night.

See how

the colors change?

I hadn't realized

how hungry I was.

It's liver,

your favorite.

You have no idea

what I like.

It's what

you used to like.

I can look after myself.

I learnt that much.

I've got a business

to run.

Did I hear you say,

a business?

You're upstairs.

I'm happy

to take the sofa.

Upstairs.

You look well.

I was.

You have one

new message.

New message.

I'm here.

Where the fuck are you?

If he's touched you,

I'll break his neck.

- Hello?

- I'm looking for someone.

What's the name?

I've got a picture.

Uh..

- I'm sorry.

- Have a look.

I am.

My wife.

- She's here.

- Not here.

On the estate.

I'll ask my wife.

Have you seen her, love?

No, no.

Me, neither.

Sorry.

Is, um..

Is there a name?

Just in case.

Hmm..

Touch me.

You asked me to stay.

You're hurting me.

Ahh!

Oh!

My foot.

You've broken my foot.

- Out!

- Don't.

No, Carl, I don't..

Uh, I don't

deserve this.

I don't deserve this!

Out!

Carl.

Carl.

Carl!

Before you say it

I'm leaving now.

You look like a clown.

I've got an

appointment..

...someone special.

I wouldn't think

anyone's that desperate.

Not like that.

There hasn't

been anyone..

...not since

you went away.

What do I care?

I've got my own

to think of now.

A girlfriend?

- And one on the way.

- Mm.

I'm happy for you.

Maybe I should

take you both out.

My treat.

It's a bit late

for that.

I told her

you were dead.

I'll pick my

case up later

when you're not here.

That's alright?

Carl?

Carl?

Is everything okay?

Oh, she didn't turn up.

Then that wasn't you and Kitty-Kat

that passed here last night?

No, I was

in all evening.

And you didn't hear all

that banging and bashing

in front of the door

early this morning?

This morning?

When I came down,

they'd gone.

I'll be late for work.

Carl?

Hello, Carl.

Maureen.

I was wondering if you were

around late last night.

No.

Uh, it's just one of the clients

said she saw someone

moving about

in the roses.

Oh. A fox?

No, she swears

it was a man.

I was thinking, it's probably best

if we keep the key

to the side door

in the office from now on.

Just to be

on the safe side.

Why are you still here?

Who said you

could smoke?

Will you sit down, Carl?

I've something

to tell you.

What?

A new beginning, I hope.

Might take a few days

to clear.

I won it..

...on the lottery.

I want us to make up.

I was thinking.

I might go and visit

my sister in Canada.

We've started

talking again.

Do you remember

your cousin, Casper?

You once made a pact

you would do down Niagara Falls

in a wooden barrel.

Remember?

Used to obsess you,

those men in barrels.

Forever hiding

yourself away

in small spaces.

"I'm just practicing for

the falls," you'd say.

I doubt you'd both

get in one now.

We could even

go first class.

An adventure.

Is there no way

to start again?

After all this time.

But I haven't

had any time.

All my time

has been taken away.

Well..

...I don't have much of it

left myself.

The oncologist says

it's in my bones.

Where's your medication?

No, I don't need it.

There's no pain.

Not yet.

I don't believe you.

Look, if it'll make you

hate me any less

why don't you ring

the consultant?

Here, Dr. Burman.

He won't lie.

Maybe you're not

the only one

that's allowed

to change.

How long have you

been here now, Carl?

Uh, about a year,

uh, just over.

Have you stayed

anywhere else?

No, this was the first

place I got.

Your downstairs neighbor, Mr. Prempeh

recalls hearing...

Loud music,

dancing and voices.

Voices. Plural.

- Yes.

- Yes?

Yes, plural.

My mother was staying.

- Dancing?

- Uh, no.

- I... I was dancing.

- While she was?

- Watching.

- Uh, complaining actually.

She doesn't like music and she

wanted me to turn it off.

Is your mother

still staying?

Uh, no,

she left this afternoon.

- Not from London then?

- Isle of Wight.

- Did she stay long?

- Three or four days.

Three or four?

Four.

Did either of you leave

the flat that night?

No.

Thank you.

Silly me.

I left it on the bedroom lamp.

So..

...I'll say goodbye.

If that's what

you want.

Is that what you want?

Carl.

I think I might have

missed my last train.

I've been through

all of your shirts.

None of them

is missing a button.

They've arrested

someone.

The husband.

Well, it's always

the ones that are closest.

Denies it, of course.

He says she left

the nightclub

with another man.

So they've checked

the CCTV.

It seems the cameras were

either fake or broken.

So they've put

the word out

for someone

with a mobile

who might have

taken pictures.

The husband's

a drug addict.

What more do they want?

Sawing a girls legs off.

Can you imagine

the mess?

I was thinking about

Ca... Canada.

- Wh...

- I can't hear you.

Uh, about Canada.

I... I'd have to get

my passport renewed.

Just like that?

Is... Isn't that

what you were suggesting?

Last I heard you were

starting a family.

I thought she

could come.

You'll have some

explaining to do.

You told her

I was dead remember?

I'll sa... say

it was a joke.

You never had

the wit for jokes.

Does she have a name?

Rose.

What does Rose do

with herself I wonder?

Works with dogs.

Walks 'em.

She's a dog walker.

You don't like dogs.

And is that who

you were with?

Rose?

Yes.

Stayed the night,

did she?

Yes.

But you didn't think to

tell that to the police.

Well, we'd, we'd

had an argument and..

...I thought if..

...I said she was here.

They might think

she was the poor

dead girl.

Yes.

Did you have

a drink, Carl?

Did you have

a little drink?

Why don't you come in

where I can see you?

Come in,

little woodpecker.

Out of the compound

and down

the street they were.

Everyone had an eye

for Jonah.

But that was before

we came here.

Always you think

something

will be better

somewhere else.

But things are never

what you imagine.

You don't want it?

He's being polite.

He's already eaten.

Then leave it.

It's okay.

The police were here

askin' questions

about that poor girl.

Oh, you don't want

to read about it

but you do, don't you?

You can't help yourself.

Cut her up into bits.

Threw her away

like a piece of rubbish.

Right here in one

of these flats.

No.

They've arrested

someone.

Not any more, they let

the husband go.

- Why?

- New leads.

Is all they said.

Carl?

Would you bring me

a plaster?

Carl.

Can you bring me

a plaster?

You'll have

to clean it first.

I must have scraped it..

...when I sat down.

Did you have

sex with her?

That's something

I can't wash out.

You left clues

everywhere.

Don't you remember

how happy we were?

Where is the phone?

Happiness to kill for.

You destroyed it.

The phone!

Uh!

Aah!

Aah!

Carl, open the door,

please.

I only want

to help you.

Please.

Open the door.

Carl, I need you.

See how

the colors change.

Do you like it, son?

Uh, the door's stuck.

Got it on the ferry over,

remember?

Happy as a jumping bean

you were.

When I came

back for you.

I didn't even

recognize you.

Staring back at me

with your mother's eyes.

Hello.

I can't open the door.

I don't blame you, Carl.

She filled you

full of poison.

Carl..

...touch me.

I can't open the door.

Please, I can't

open the door.

I'm going to stay.

Will you open

the fucking door?

I can see you.

Hey. No... no...

no... no.

Wesley, stop it!

Get the fuck out!

Get out!

Fuck's sake.

For fuck's sake.

What the fuck have you done

to my jeans?

Where's my stuff?

Here.

Uh.

What have you done

to my stuff?

It's fucked.

Where's my phone?

I don't know.

You, you said..

If it... it...

it sent me somewhere.

You'd come and get me.

You broke my foot.
