We've done it, the Delphi Device works
and the results are extraordinary (laughs)!
I, we proved them wrong.
We're not just prisoners
trapped in our own skulls.
We're not alone.
We are voyagers embarking
on the greatest journey
of exploration in human history (laughs).
We, there's a door in each of our minds,
and once it is open, I...
(laughs) I can't believe we've done it.
This is just the first step,
the first frequency, I...
Sarah, you're the only one
I can really trust anymore,
the only one who can understand
what we are capable of.
For better, for worse, tonight
is gonna be a turning point.
Maybe the final one for me.
Sarah, you're the only one
I can trust with the truth.

[Sarah's Inner Voice] We are Sarah.
(ominous music continues)
We are an unusual creature.
There's two in one.
Are you listening?
(ominous music continues)
(Sarah gasping)
I know you can hear me.
(ominous music continues)
(children laughing)
You know how I'm always here.
You know you can never escape.
(ominous music continues) (Sarah gasping)
(Sarah giggling) (ominous music continues)
Don't go tonight.
(ominous music continues)
(Sarah panting) (ominous music continues)
(lipstick thumping)
(ominous music continues)
(patrons chattering) (upbeat music)
(lid rattling) (bottle thumping)
This is a fancy affair (laughs).
My school reunion was in the local pub.
(wine sloshing) (upbeat music continues)
[Sarah's Inner Voice]
There's a truth here
which would be best left undiscovered.
(suspenseful music) (patrons chattering)
I think I may have made
a breakthrough today.
I used a different set of frequencies
and tested it on myself.
The results were extremely-
- Hi Sarah, isn't it?
You look like you hate these
things as much as I do.
You don't remember me, do you?
Wait, it's Jessica.
You were doing a PhD
and you look different.
Well, that's what Hollywood does to you.
Oh, you are an actress?
No, I'm a director.
How about you?
I remember you carrying
around a lot of science books.
Yeah, you was studying toxicology.
Yeah, but I changed disciplines.
Sarah is now one of the
world's leading neurotheologists.
Very impressive, so what
does a neurotheologist do?
I can explain it to you
over dinner if you like.
(upbeat music continues)
- Um, yeah.
Do you know much about it?
Hopefully.
I'm Alex, I'm Sarah's head of research,
although in reality she's
probably the one in charge.
So you are not together.
Nope, we have a strong working
relationship, that's all.
Yeah, Sarah remains immune to my charms.
Sorry, he's not always this forward.
Seriously, it's fine.
(upbeat music continues)
(patrons chattering)
Here's my card.
I need to catch up with a few people,
but I will see you later.
Enjoy tonight.
(footsteps thumping)
(upbeat music continues)
Anyone here interest you?
(footsteps thumping)
(upbeat music continues)
Sarah?
Good God, it's really you.
I thought you'd be the
last person to be here.
It's been so long.
Five years.
You know, I always hope that...
I'm sorry.
What are you sorry for?
You know, I'm not a bad person.
I always wanted to tell you
the truth about that night.
Sarah, I'm so glad you
accepted my invitation.
I'm gonna go get myself another drink.
[Sarah] Sebastian?
Yes, and Alex, you're
looking remarkably well.
You two know each other?
Our paths have crossed.
I've been following your research.
It's highly fascinating.
Well, we have had something
of a breakthrough only today.
You must tell me about it.
We've had some potentially
interesting results,
but nothing inconclusive.
Look, I um, I should go and check on Ed.
He seems a bit worse for wear.
I look forward to hearing
about your breakthrough.
(footsteps thumping)
(upbeat music continues)
[Sarah's Inner Voice]
The die is not yet cast.
You can walk away.
(upbeat music) (ice clinking)
(glass thumping)
The bar is closing soon.
Do you wanna get a drink with me somewhere?
My lab is just five minutes from here.
You mean?
Yeah.
(footsteps thumping)
(monitor droning)
(ominous music) (key thumping)
(Sarah sighing)
[Sarah's Inner Voice] You are standing
on the edge of an abyss.
Turn away from the darkness
before it consumes us both.
(Sarah gasping)
[Ed] What are you doing?
This will stop you feeling
pain for a little while longer.
(pants) I can smell burning.
I cauterized your wounds.
What you have done to me?
It's almost over.
I gave you their names,
you said you would free me.
I'm freeing you!
After tonight, you will
never have to suffer again.
(ominous music continues)
I didn't tell you all the names.
I don't believe you.
I couldn't tell you,
they would've k*lled me.
There were eight.
Free me and I'll tell you.
You are free to leave anytime you want.
(Ed panting)
(ominous music) (Ed screaming)
(Ed gasping) (ominous music continues)
(Ed gagging) (ominous music continues)
Shut up. (ominous music continues)
(placid music)
(Sarah sniffling) (placid music continues)
(ominous music)
[Sarah's Inner Voice] We are the fallen.
(ominous music continues) (Sarah sighing)
(wheelbarrow rattling) (plastic rustling)

(bags rustling) (Sarah grunting)
(body part thumping) (door thumping)
(Sarah gasping) (liquid dripping)
(air thumping)
(camera beeping)
I've k*lled a man.
Now I'm a m*rder*r.
Ed's m*rder felt like a release.
In some strange way, I
have never felt more alive.
And the voice that I know hear,
it is a part of me, and yet
a part of something else.
Am I going insane? (bell ringing)
The only thing that I can be sure
is that it's only the beginning.
(air thumping)
(light buzzing)
I'm worried about you.
You're starting to remind
me of your brother.
Meaning?
(coat rustling)
I know you don't like to talk about him,
but remember I had just
started working here
a few weeks before you.
Yes.
I saw what he was like towards the end
when he had his breakthrough,
and now I see you isolated,
alone in this room, day
after day, night after night,
working on the same things
that drove your brother-
- I'm nothing like my brother!
No, you're probably
the sanest person I know.
But anyone can become overwhelmed
if the stress gets too much.
(sighs) I'm not stressed.
Well, you should be.
You're too obsessed with your work.
We could find you someone,
you know, to talk to.
I'll give you Jessica's
therapist's details.
(pen scratching)
I don't need therapy.
When was the last time you had a holiday
or even a day off?
The work is too important.
[Alex] More important
than your mental health?
Yes, especially after yesterday.
Your breakthrough.
(page rustling)
- Yes.
Well, the suspense is
k*lling me (chuckles).
(pages rustling)
I think we may have
found the prime frequency.
(laughs) If that's true,
then that's incredible.
That's also what your brother claimed.
(gentle music)
[Sarah] I just need to verify
your name and date of birth
before the test can begin.
Theresa Rowe, 25th November, 1992.
And one more question.
Have you taken any narcotic substances
within the last two days?
Your answer is completely
confidential, of course.
Will it affect the experiment?
[Sarah] No, not adversely.
But it is important that I know.
I've had some cocaine, not a huge amount.
Hmm, okay, it's fine, yay.
Thank you for telling me.
The experiment is nearly ready to begin.
(footsteps thumping)
(electricity whooshing)
(footsteps thumping)
Will it hurt?
No, I will merely send
a weak electrical pulse
to certain areas of your brain,
and afterwards you just
describe your experience.
What do you expect me to experience?
It depends on the individual.
Think of it as opening
a door inside your mind.
But what's on the other side?
It can't hurt me, can it?
If you're feeling uncertain,
you can still go out.
- Will I still get the fee?
- Unfortunately not.
(clears throat) Okay, I'm ready.
Okay. (footsteps thumping)
Don't worry, I'll be monitoring you
from the other side of the glass.
So if you're feeling distressed,
I can stop the experiment immediately.
(electricity fizzing)
(air whooshing) (door thumping)
(electricity fizzing) (ominous music)
(electricity fizzing)
Can you hear my voice, Theresa?
Yes, is that you, Dr. Thurston?
You sound-
- [Sarah] It's very important
that you control your fear, Theresa.
Fear is very dangerous.
I thought the experiment
was completely safe.
[Sarah] Can you hear anything else apart
from my voice speaking to
you within the silence?
(ominous music continues) (woman screaming)
Someone's screaming somewhere far away.
I can barely hear it.
(air thumping) (ominous music continues)
[Sarah] Can you feel that?
(electricity fizzing)
The setting have changed.
Yes. (ominous music continues)
It feels like there's something
scratching inside my head.
(electricity fizzing)
(ominous music continues)
[Sarah] This is normal.
Control your fear.
Do not let the screams
and the scratching inside
your head concern you.
I want to stop.
[Sarah] We can't stop.
(electricity fizzing) (Theresa gasping)
People, creatures, I dunno what they are.
(yells) Will they hurt me?
[Sarah] That depends on your nature.
What do you mean (pants)?
(Theresa screaming) (electricity fizzing)
(flesh ripping) (Theresa crying)
[Sarah] They're in your mind, Theresa.
(ominous music continues) (Theresa gasping)
(food sizzling)
It is delicious.
(chuckles) Thanks.
So how long have you known Sarah?
She's been with our research
department for two years now.
She took over from her brother.
Genius must run in the family.
Is that usual?
I mean, for a person to take
over their brother's work?
Oh, absolutely not.
They were going to shut down the project,
but Sarah put forward a very brilliant
and convincing proposal.
She can be very single-minded
when there is something she wants.
Mm, so your research.
(Alex laughing)
Can I ask about it?
We're developing a more refined version
of the Persinger device.
Which is?
I'm a bit embarrassed to admit it,
but it's also called the God Helmet.
Though we are calling it the Delphi Device,
which is marginally less
pretentious (laughs).
So what, does it turn
the wearer into a god?
Eh, not exactly, but a significant number
of our test subjects claim
to have a mystical experience
or sense a presence in the room with them.
Some participants even
believe they encounter God.
Thus the name.
There have been some very
exciting developments recently.
And are you going to
tell me what they are?
(gentle music)
Well, the effects of the Delphi Device
have been unpredictable.
They seem to veer somewhere
between either cause an enlightenment
or psychosis in the subject.
Each subject underwent a very positive
or very negative experience.
God or the devil, heaven or hell.
(laughs) Something like that.
But now Sarah believes she can control
which state of consciousness
the Delphi Device induces.
(gentle music continues) (Jessica sighing)
Mm, how was Hollywood?
Amazing at first,
but it were so just not
what I wanted to do.
What do you want to do?
Well, I want to find
my true purpose in life.
I need to know what it is
that makes the existence worthwhile.
I feel like I've lost my soul.
I want to find it again.
(air whooshing) (ominous music)
We must be together, always.
(ominous music continues)
(glass shattering)
(ominous music continues)
(flesh ripping) (ominous music continues)
(footsteps thumping) (aircraft droning)
I am haunted by death.
The death in the past
of members of my family
and the death I'm now responsible for.
I feel no remorse.
She got what she deserved.
I've performed an act of vengeance
and I know it is the right thing to do.
(air thumping)
(footsteps thumping)
(chair squeaking)
(clock ticking)
Have you heard?
I presume you are referring
to the news about Theresa.
Yeah, I'm still in shock,
but we all knew she was unstable.
But to do that to herself.
I strongly suspect that she didn't.
What are you talking about?
(book thumping)
I've managed to obtain a copy
of the pathologist's report.
(pages rustling)
- Well, what am I missing?
Read the toxicology analysis.
(ominous music) (pages rustling)
Large amounts of cocaine in
her system, it's no surprise.
And also, DMT.
What is that, some new drug?
No, it's a chemical the
body naturally creates
in small amounts for unknown reasons.
And? (ominous music continues)
And it is also an extremely
powerful hallucinogenic
which can produce a highly
altered state of consciousness.
So you think that's what made her...
Take a shard of broken mirror
and cut herself to pieces?
Yes, I do.
(ominous music continues) (file rustling)
(ominous music continues)
I also believe the idea wasn't her own.
(chair squeaking)
You thinks she was m*rder*d?
Ed has gone missing.
I think it's highly unlikely
the two occurrences are a coincidence.
This is bad.
As you know, Peter,
I always try to see the best
in every situation.
Ed was an alcoholic, Theresa an addict.
They were both liabilities.
(ominous music continues)
And do you consider me to be a liability?
Should I?
I think I've more than
proven my loyalty to you.
You've made millions from my artwork.
And you would never have
sold any of your artwork
were not for my family's patronage.
So we can agree it's in
both our best interests
(chess piece thumping)
for me to remain alive.
(ominous music continues)
Agreed.
Good.
Tell me honestly, did you
have anything to do with this?
(book rustling)
Honestly, we both know
that I'm far more talented
at selling your artwork
than you are at creating it.
(pages rustling)
"When the lamb opened the fourth seal,
I heard the voice of the fourth
living creature say, 'Come.'
I looked, and there before
me was a pale horse.
(footsteps thumping) (reverent music)
Its rider was named Death,
and Hades was following close behind him.
They were given power over
a quarter of the earth,
to k*ll by sword, famine, and plague."
(footsteps thumping)
(reverent music continues)
(gasps) You gave me a shock.
Have you come to try and convert
me to atheism before I die?
No, I gave up trying
to do that long time ago.
And yet I have never given up trying
to make you believe in God.
How can you continue to
believe after what happened
to you, to us?
(reverent music continues)
Well, it hasn't been easy.
Cup of tea?
(reverent music continues)
(footsteps thumping)
You look as though you're still in pain.
Because I am. (cup thumping)
Some wounds take a very long time to heal.
Maybe the deepest ones
can never truly heal.
"He who learns must suffer.
And in our despair, against
our will, comes wisdom to us
through the awful grace of God."
It's been a long time since
you quoted the Bible to me.
It's a quote from Aeschylus.
I find it amazing to think that those words
were written 500 years
before the birth of Christ.
They're just words, not truth.
Mm, at least you are
consistent in your cynicism.
That's what you choose to believe.
You can choose to believe
that everything's a miracle or nothing is,
that everything has
meaning or nothing does.
I've chosen not to believe.
Your brother believed,
your mother believed.
And now they're both dead.
(gentle music)
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...
(gentle music continues)
Your mother was a good woman.
I think about her every day, every day.
(gentle music continues)
(gentle music continues) (chair rustling)
Why did you come here today?
Has something happened to you?
You've changed, you seem more vulnerable.
What's happened to you?
I have to go.
It's probably difficult to open up to me,
but if you're suffering, if you
feel you can't cope anymore,
you must talk to someone.
I will.
(hand thumping)
- Promise me.
(footsteps thumping)
(footsteps thumping) (traffic droning)
Thank you for seeing
me on such short notice.
Oh, it's fine.
I always make time for new clients.
Have you seen a therapist before?
No.
Because you never
felt like you needed to?
No, because I've always
been self-contained
and self-sufficient.
If I ever have a problem,
I deal with it myself.
[Dr. Isaacs] And now?
And now I have a problem I
don't know how to deal with.
Go on.
Last week I underwent a
very intense experience,
which I believe had a
profoundly negative effect
on my mental health.
Which was? (page rustling)
I began to hear voices,
or rather a voice.
Whose voice is it?
It's a part of me or
rather a version of me.
It's relatively common for people
to hear their own voice inside their heads.
We all have an interior
dialogue with ourselves.
No, this is different.
I hear the voice outside of my own mind.
It is as though there's
another version of me
looking over my own shoulder, observing me
and commenting on my actions.
Does the voice compel you to act in a way
that you normally wouldn't?
No, she advises me, she warns me.
The emergence of this voice
might be your mind's way of healing itself.
Each of us is a divided self.
And if you can integrate
both sides of yourself,
then you become whole.
So what is the cure?
How do I silence the voice?
You said that the voice
is outside of yourself,
like a detached observer.
- Yeah.
- This break may be your way
of processing a traumatic
event from your past.
My brother died five years ago.
(ominous music)
- You are angry
because you feel like your
brother abandoned you.
No, because his death wasn't an accident.
(ominous music continues)
Who do you feel the anger towards?
(ominous music continues)
- You!
(eyeball squishing)
(ominous music continues)
(Dr. Isaacs grunting)
(ominous music continues)
(Dr. Isaacs thumping)
(ominous music continues)
[Sarah's Inner Voice] Another death
immaculately performed.
You have made me your
accomplice in atrocity.
She was striving for
redemption and you k*lled her
before she had a chance to achieve it.
(ominous music)
I cannot escape the voice in my head.
I would do anything to silence it.
I feel like grabbing a scalpel
and cutting the voice out of my head.
It is always there, always
watching, always judging.
(siren wailing) It wants
me to stop k*lling,
but I know that it's impossible.
I have to finish this,
I have to k*ll them all.
And then I'll be free.
(air thumping) (pages rustling)
(footsteps thumping) (cup thumping)
(book scraping)
You look very serious,
a little more serious than usual.
So I have some news.
Good news or bad news?
That depends on your perspective.
Is it about your love life?
No, well, not exactly.
I found another test subject for you.
Who is it?
Jessica.
You are looking remarkably
well, Chief Inspector.
Your usual?
- [Franklyn] Thanks.
(bottle scraping) (bottle squeaking)
So, any news on Dr. Isaacs'
unfortunate demise?
I can show you who m*rder*d her.
As you instructed, we kept her
under 24 hour surveillance.
Recognize her?
(fist rapping) (door rattling)
Hi (laughs).
- [Sarah] Hi.
(door thumping)
- Oh, so good
to meet you again under more
sober circumstances (laughs),
and thanks for allowing me to
be part of your experiment.
Yeah, yeah, please have a sit.
(chair rattling)
Alex told me you've been
achieving incredible things.
Alex has a tendency to be
overly optimistic sometimes,
(laughs) but yeah, we've made
some significant developments.
Are you ready?
Uh, sure.
Okay, follow me.
(chair rattling) (footsteps thumping)
(door rattling) (footsteps thumping)
(door thumping)
Are there any side effects?
You may feel physical disorientation
for a short period of
time after the experiment.
But it can't damage me
mentally or emotionally, can it?
It can have a very pronounced
psychological effect,
but the vast majority of test subjects
have reported having a
favorable experience.
And the others?
There are a few anomalies,
but if you're concerned,
I can transmit the device
to the weaker frequency.
No, no, I'll be fine.
I'm just not used to being left
alone with my own thoughts.
(chuckles) Not many people are,
(electricity whooshing)
but I'll be monitoring you the whole time.
So if at any point you feel
uncomfortable, just call out.
Thank you.
(footsteps thumping)
- Hi.
- How's it going?
She seemed a bit anxious.
So I just used one of the lower levels.
Are you worried about our funding?
I'm always worried about our funding.
Oh, I'm sorry.
[Alex] Someone keeping you up?
Oh, I haven't been
sleeping very well recently.
I can get you some
coffee, might perk you up.
No, I'll go.
I could just do with some fresh air.
Would you like a coffee?
No, I'd love one (laughs).
(chair rattling) (electricity whooshing)
(knob clicking) (electricity whooshing)
(ominous music) (Jessica gasping)
(ominous music continues) (knob clicking)
(ominous music continues) (Jessica panting)

(ominous music continues) (Jessica gasping)
(wind thundering) (Skullface laughing)
[Skullface] Hello, Jessica.
(ominous music continues)
It is been a while.
I'm not afraid of you anymore.
[Skullface] You should
be really terrified of me.
What do you want?
[Skullface] To look inside of your mind.
I won't let you.
(ominous music continues)
[Skullface] I did before.
(ominous music continues)
Tsk, tsk, tsk, the filth
I found inside of you.
Leave me alone!
[Skullface] With pleasure.
There is also another
friend who will see you.
(ominous music continues)
(homeless man snarling)
No, no!
(homeless man snarling) (Jessica screaming)
(homeless man snarling) (Jessica screaming)
(ominous music continues) (knob rattling)
(footsteps thumping)
- Oh, what happened?
(Jessica screaming) (Sarah panting)
(door rattling) (Jessica grunting)
What happened?
(Jessica panting) (Sarah panting)
Are you okay?
(Jessica whimpering)
It's gonna be okay.
(Jessica sobbing)
It's gonna be okay.
(air thumping)
(camera beeping)
Tonight, I will k*ll again.
I've researched my victim,
I know everything about him
and I know that he does
not deserve to live.
He's an evil person.
Maybe I will be doing the world a favor.
(coat rustling)
(footsteps scraping)
(ominous music)
(ominous music continues)
(Peter grunting) (Sarah yelling)
(Sarah grunting) (Peter grunting)
(Sarah grunting) (tape squeaking)
You can't k*ll me.
I can and I will.
(Sarah grunting)
(pants) You'll make a beautiful corpse.
You are sick.
No, I'm an artist.
(pencil rattling)
I am gonna take my time with you.
[Sarah's Inner Voice] He's insane.
Communicate with him on his own level.
Make him need you.
Flatter him, distract him, seduce him.
That is my favorite of your works.
You know my work?
I've been on fan since I was 15.
We've met before.
Don't you remember?
[Peter] Should I?
We've met at Dantes club once
and we chatted about your art.
I was a fan even back then.
Your work with Death Mask inspires me.
(table creaking)
You k*lled Ed and Theresa, didn't you?
Yes.
[Peter] Because of Tom?
No, because of you.
They're conspiring against you.
You are lying, (pants)
why would they do that?
They're jealous of your talent.
I want you to paint me,
to turn me into a work of art.
Then I will tell you the whole truth.
(chair creaking)
You are insane.
You made me this way
when you k*lled my brother.
Are you going to paint me?
Yes. (Sarah chuckling)
I need to undress you first.
Of course.
(suspenseful music) (Sarah panting)
(flesh ripping) (Peter screaming)
(Sarah panting)
- You psychotic b*tch!
(Sarah gasping) (suspenseful
music continues)
(bat thumping) (Jessica grunting)
(Sarah panting) (Jessica panting)
[Sarah] How?
He's still breathing.
Let's finish him off before he wakes up.
(footsteps thumping) (Sarah panting)
(tape squeaking) (Sarah panting)
(Peter gasping) (suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music continues)
(Sarah grunting) (eyeball squelching)
(suspenseful music continues)
(Sarah panting) (suspenseful
music continues)
(footsteps thumping)
(suspenseful music continues)
(tape squeaking)
I guess you have a few questions for me.
And I guess you have quite a few for me.
Not as many as you might think.
I know what you've been doing and why.
How did you find me tonight?
I attached a tracking device to your car.
I don't like being spied on.
If I hadn't tracked
you, you would be dead.
Why have you been following me?
When Ed went missing,
I guessed you were involved.
You knew him?
Yeah.
You did k*ll him, didn't you?
Yes.
And Dr. Isaacs?
(tool clattering)
- Yes.
She wasn't as bad as the others.
I almost felt sorry for her.
So who's next on our list?
(sighs) Our list?
We're in this together now.
(bags rustling)
(footsteps thumping) (bags rustling)
(wheelbarrow rattling)
- Okay, oh, okay.
(keys rattling) (footsteps thumping)
You sure don't see us?
(keys rattling)
- Don't worry.
He'll be safe.
[Jessica] How did you get the keys?
My father is a preacher.
(keys rattling)
- Right.
(wheelbarrow rattling)
- Oh!
(Sarah grunting) (Jessica grunting)
(footsteps thumping) (wheelbarrow rattling)
Stop here, okay, okay.
(ominous music) (footsteps thumping)
(ominous music continues) In three.
(bags rustling) (Sarah grunting)
Oh. (bags rustling)
(Sarah grunting) (body thumping)
(Sarah panting)
There was an outbreak of
cholera about 150 years ago.
So they dug a huge pit to
dispose all of the excess bodies.
Lucky for us.
(Jessica panting)
And now you're wondering
if you should k*ll me too.
The fact that you have
helped me dispose of the body
means you are as guilty as
I am in the eyes of the law.
So I think I'm safe.
But?
But you know too much,
so logically I should remove
you from the equation.
That would relatively
simple to implement, huh?
Is that how you see these
killings, as an equation?
I see it as a process of justice,
but your involvement has
confused the situation.
I can help you.
How?
I know who the others are.
The others?
There were eight.
Your work isn't finished yet.
I don't believe you.
You are saying whatever
you can to save yourself.
No, I'm telling you the truth.
(air thumping)
(fabric rustling)
(sighs) Tom and I always hated Mike.
I'm going to enjoy this.
Who's this guy?
Is he supposed to be famous?
I've never heard of him.
He was a minor celebrity a few years ago,
but he got a reputation
for harassing actresses.
So most people refuse to work with him now.
He's always begging me to cast him.
(door rattling)
Yo, Jesse, long time, bring me some love.
(Jessica kissing) It's been good.
Oh, thanks for coming along, Mike.
This is my co-producer, Sarah, yeah.
Authority, I like it.
So Mike, how's life?
Ha, really busy.
Yeah?
Had a ton of auditions
the last few weeks,
but nothing that really inspires me.
- No, yeah.
- So what's this new film
of yours about?
Oh, well, we're trying to
do something really different
with the serial k*ller genre.
Yeah, we're taking a more
European art house approach.
Mm, sounds like my kind of thing.
So I'm guessing you want me to
play the role of the k*ller.
Oh, we're trying to
subvert gender stereotypes.
The k*ller is a woman.
Cool, I get it.
What's my role?
You are one of her last victims.
Well, do I get a cool death?
Oh, well, I'm still
working on the details
of the script, but yeah.
So who's my character?
He is a narcissistic loser
whose past has finally caught up with him.
Okay, we may have to
negotiate the loser tack.
Oh, think of him as an anti-hero.
Okay, right, well, in the scene,
your girlfriend has brought you
home for a bit of kinky fun.
So you're gonna need to
put your hands behind you
like you've been tied up or handcuffed.
Kinky. (Jessica laughing)
So what's my motivation in the scene?
Oh, well, on a very fundamental
level, it's to not die.
You will do or say anything
to stay alive (grunts).
(footsteps thumping)
Can I have the prop, Sarah?
- Careful.
- Thank you.
Looks very realistic.
That's an old trick some directors use
when they wanna get an
especially edgy performance
from an actor.
- Yeah, I get it.
- Good.
Now remember, as the scene progresses,
you become more and more afraid.
So by the end of the scene,
I want you to be begging me for your life.
- Ready?
- I'm always ready.
Good, right, well, let's begin on three.
One, two, and three.
So baby, what do you feel like doing?
Anything you want me to do.
Mm, do you like the feel
of cold steel on your flash?
- Yes.
- Yes.
Oh (laughs).
(knife whooshing) (Mike yelling)
What are you doing?
You got me this time.
Oh, sorry, baby.
I'm bleeding, I need a doctor.
I thought you enjoyed pain.
(knife whooshing) (Mike yelling)
Stop it, stop it, what
do you think you're doing?
So you need to beg the
k*ller to let you go.
You convince me of that
and you've got the part.
Don't hurt me, please, please.
I won't tell anyone what
you've done, I promise.
I don't believe you.
I swear it, I swear it,
just untie me and let me go
and you'll never see me again.
But I thought you loved me.
Please let me go.
(giggles) Yeah, seriously,
it's not working, Mike,
because I don't really believe you.
Yeah, what I need is I
need to hear real fear.
Yeah, can you do that?
- Yeah, real fear?
- Please.
And real terror, come on.
[Mike] Please, please, just lemme go.
You're really scaring me now.
I'm starting to believe you.
I'll do anything you want me to,
- just lemme go.
- Oh, finally.
- [Mike] I'll do anything.
- You're a good actor, hey.
(Jessica grunting) (Mike gurgling)
(Jessica laughing) (Jessica grunting)
(Mike gurgling) (blood squelching)
Cut! (suspenseful music)
(blood squelching)
(suspenseful music continues)
Oh my God, geez.
(blood squelching) (Jessica panting)
Oh (laughs). (jacket rustling)
(jacket thumping) (Jessica panting)
I didn't think it would
be such a rush (pants).
Oh my God.
Did it feel like that the
first time you k*lled someone?
No.
[Jessica] Well, how did you feel?
I didn't felt anything.
It was just doing what I had to do.
No, I don't believe you.
(chuckles) I think you secretly enjoyed it.
There was no pleasure involved.
Did you record it all?
Yeah.
May be useful if you
want to send a warning.
A warning to who?
Let's call him The Spider.
(chair squeaking)
When I was very young, my
father told me the best way
to make God laugh was
to tell Him your plans.
A few weeks later he was dead.
Things become much easier
when you understand
that there's no certainty in life,
no rules, no reason to
anything at all really.
There's a certain freedom in that,
but also a certain tragedy.
You know what's a tragedy?
The fact that there are
only three of us left.
(chess piece rattling)
Yes, we must eliminate Sarah Thurston.
She has served her purpose.
And Jessica?
(air thumping)
(water rushing)
[Sarah's Inner Voice]
Jessica is deranged,
she's out of control
and she will drag you
deeper into the abyss.
You must find a way of escaping from her.
(water rushing)
But I need her, she's my-
- [Sarah's Inner Voice]
She's not your friend.
She will destroy you if
you allow her to do so.
(water rushing)
Should I k*ll her?
(water rushing)
Should I k*ll her?
[Sarah's Inner Voice]
You must save yourself.
(Sarah grunting) (body thumping)
Oh, I think we took the
whole method acting thing
a bit too far (laughs).
How can you make jokes?
My sense of humor is what keeps me sane.
Mm, only three more to
go and then we're done.
I'll almost be sorry when it ends.
Tell me the name.
[Franklyn] Can add your own
name to the list, Jessica.
(laughs) Did Sebastian send you
to do his dirty work for him?
I thought it would be best to find you
before you found me.
You planning on arresting us?
Why didn't you k*ll Sebastian?
He's the one that ruined your life.
I'll be nothing without
Sebastian, neither would you.
Sebastian owns you.
How does it feel to know
that you're another one of his puppets
and he could just cut your
strings anytime he wants?
He needs me as much as I need him.
Sebastian doesn't need anyone.
(stone scraping) (Sarah grunting)
(g*n firing) (Sarah yelling)
[Franklyn] One down, one to go.
Come out the darkness, Jessica.
I think you may be worth more to me alive.
(ominous music)
(Sarah grunting) (Franklyn thumping)
(grunts) Pull me up.
[Jessica] Why would we want to do that?
[Franklyn] (grunts) Help me.
(ominous music continues)
(Franklyn grunting)
(Franklyn yelling) (Franklyn thumping)
I think he's still alive.
I wonder how long he'll last.
I suppose there is some fairly
fresh meat for him to eat.
(footsteps thumping)
(ominous music continues)
Am I going insane?
[Sarah's Inner Voice]
No, you are changing,
growing into something new and wonderful.
You are becoming what you truly are.
No, no, no, I'm afraid.
[Sarah's Inner Voice]
If you choose to descend
into the abyss, I will guide you out.
(Sarah panting)
(Sarah panting)
(phone rattling) (Sarah panting)
Tell me the name.
I'll help, yeah.
(phone snapping) (tool thumping)
(fist thumping)
(monitor vibrating)
(Velcro ripping)
Your blood pressure is quite high.
I was so glad when you called.
Breaking up with Jessica
was very stressful.
[Sarah] Shall we begin?
Aren't you even curious
to hear about what happened?
We need to focus on the work.
(chair squeaking)
(footsteps thumping) (chair rattling)
(footsteps thumping)
(electricity droning)
(chair rustling)
(helmet rustling)
(footsteps thumping)
(electricity whooshing)
(knob clicking)
Good luck.
Thanks.
(electricity whooshing)
The last time I didn't experience anything.
Do you think this time will be different?
I'm going to use the new frequency,
much more powerful.
(electricity whooshing)
(footsteps thumping)
(door thumping)
(footsteps thumping) (chair scraping)
(knobs clicking)
(knobs clicking)
(electricity whooshing)
(Alex panting) (electricity fizzing)
(Alex panting)
Why can I see two of you?
(electricity fizzing)
The other you, watching us.
(ominous music)
I am beyond you both.
(ominous music continues)
- So many.
- I trusted you.
(electricity fizzing)
And you betrayed me.
I don't understand why I can't move.
You'll be dead soon (electricity fizzing)
and my work will be done.
(electricity fizzing)
- But why?
(ominous music continues)
(electricity fizzing)
(Alex screaming)
I'm falling (screams).
You will soon see hell (giggles).
Your guilty will see to that.
(ominous music continues)
My guilt for what?
For k*lling my brother!
(ominous music continues)
(pants) Why would I
k*ll your brother (pants)?
Jessica, Jessica (screams).
Jessica told me you were there!
[Sarah's Inner Voice] He was
a fool, but an innocent one.
No, no. (Alex screaming)
Oh, they're coming for me.
They're tearing me to pieces!
(Alex screaming)
No (grunts).
(electricity fizzing)
(helmet rustling)
No, no, you don't go, no.
(clothes rustling)
(Sarah sobbing) (Alex thumping)
(Sarah crying)
[Sarah's Inner Voice] The
darkest deed has been done.
You have lost and they have won.
(somber music)
- No, no, no, no!
(somber music continues) (Sarah crying)
(somber music continues) (Sarah crying)
(door rattling) (footsteps thumping)
(Sarah sobbing)
- Hello, Sarah.
(Sarah crying)
Did Jessica tell you to k*ll him?
You really shouldn't believe
everything she tells you.
Uh-huh. (Sarah panting)
(chair squeaking) (Sarah panting)
(footsteps thumping)
Your brother was a genius, a real pioneer.
We were very close for a while.
I helped him develop the
prototype of the Delphi Device.
Such a shame, what happened to him.
[Sarah] Did you k*ll him?
He took from me the
one thing I truly loved.
You have to understand,
I couldn't allow that.
(footsteps thumping)
(Sarah gasping) (footsteps thumping)
(footsteps thumping) (helmet rustling)
(Sarah panting)
(clip clicking)
It is been five years since
I used the Delphi Device.
And what happened?
The experience was transformative.
Did you see God?
I saw myself, a glimpse
of what I would become.
(Sarah panting) (clip clicking)
(footsteps thumping) (Sarah gasping)
I will make sure your
work is put to good use.
Goodbye, Sarah.
(footsteps thumping) (door rattling)
(knob clicking)
(Sarah grunting)
(laptop thumping) (Sarah grunting)
(ominous music) (Sarah grunting)
(ominous music continues) (Sarah grunting)
[Sarah's Inner Voice]
You are in the abyss.
You must find the moment of light
where all existence begins and ends.
You must find the still point,
the secret of silence within
you where times cease to be.
You must find eternity.
I can't breathe.
[Sarah's Inner Voice]
Our journey's at an end.
We are dying.
Our journey is just beginning.
(Sarah grunting)
(heart thumping) (Sarah gasping)
(Sarah gasping) (heart thumping)
(Sarah gasping) (heart thumping)
[Sarah] Am I dead?
[Sarah's Inner Voice] We are
at the end of our beginning.
We're at the beginning of our end.
(heart thumping) (Sarah gasping)
(heart thumping) (Sarah gasping)
[Sarah] There's another
presence in the room with us.
[Sarah's Inner Voice] Yes.
(heart thumping) (Sarah gasping)
(heart thumping) (Sarah gasping)
(Sarah thumping)
(gentle music)
(gentle music continues)
(birds chirping) (gentle music continues)
(birds chirping)
(Sarah snoring)
(Sarah grunting) (birds chirping)
Where am I?
[Joe] Home.
(birds chirping)
(birds chirping)
(birds chirping)
(Sarah grunting)
Good morning.
(birds chirping)
What time is it?
About 10, you've been
asleep for several days
and the doctors say that
you're gonna be fine.
What happened?
[Joe] There was some sort of toxic leak
at your laboratory,
you're lucky to be alive.
You the cleaner found you unconscious
on the floor of your office.
How did I get here?
[Joe] The hospital
gave you the all clear.
You had me down as your emergency contact
and I said I'd look after you,
make sure you get some rest.
Oh, and Alex?
[Joe] It will be a while
before you regain your strength.
I'm afraid Alex wasn't so lucky.
Were you close?
- Yes.
- I'm sorry.
(birds chirping)
(glass clinking) (birds chirping)
(glass thumping)
You can take it easy, yes, get some rest.
You seem different, changed.
(birds chirping)
I am. (birds chirping)
(paper rustling)
- Explain.
The Delphi Device works perfectly.
- But?
- But the frequency needs
to be typed in every time
the Delphi Device is used.
And without knowing it,
we can create some significant
results but nothing-
- Extraordinary.
It would be fairly easy to locate her
and extract the required information.
That may not be necessary.
I think she'll find us before we find her.
(footsteps thumping)
(pedestrians chattering)
Everything has changed, I have changed.
I'm so close to finding the
truth I have been seeking.
The journey from darkness to
light has almost destroyed me.
But I'm stronger now than
I ever imagined I could be.
(pedestrians chattering)
I've become who I truly am.
(pedestrians chattering)
I know what I must do now.
I know how this must end.
I know who I am.
(pedestrians chattering)
(air thumping)
(suspenseful music)
(clothes rustling)
(case rattling)
(suspenseful music continues)
(footsteps thumping)
(book thumping)
Hello, Sarah.
Your timing is perfect.
I finally finished my book.
(g*n rattling)
(g*n thumping)
Won't you sit down?
(chair scraping)
I presume you are here to k*ll me.
I'd hoped Jessica would
save me the trouble.
But that was never going to happen, was it?
Jessica and I have a
somewhat complex relationship.
Where is she?
She's getting dressed for dinner.
She'll be joining us momentarily.
The Delphi Device belongs to me.
That is disputable.
(footsteps thumping)
(footsteps thumping)
(chair scraping)
(chess piece scraping)
(chess piece thumping)
I had hoped you would've believed me
when I said I would deal with Sebastian.
Like I'd believe you when
you lied to me about Alex.
Yes.
It was almost a shame you had to k*ll him.
He was one of the good guys
and I might have been able to love him
if he wasn't already in love with you.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
Search her, we wouldn't want
any unfortunate surprises.
(chair scraping) (footsteps thumping)
(chair scraping)
(footsteps thumping) (clothes rustling)
(footsteps thumping) (Sarah sighing)
(syringes thumping)
I have to say, I'm rather disappointed
with your choice of weapon.
Did you honestly think I'd
let you get close enough
to inject me?
How did my brother die?
I need some information from you first.
You expect me to give you the frequency?
Yes, a small truth for a greater truth.
Pass me the book. (chair scraping)
(book scraping)
(pen thumping) (pages rustling)
(pen scratching)
Now tell me the truth, how did Tom die?
(book thumping)
(book scraping)
(pages rustling)
(book thumping)
How did Tom die?
(chair scraping) (footsteps thumping)
(laptop thumping)
Let me show you.
(key clicking)
(footsteps thumping)
You have passed the initiation.
The next candidate must now approach.
I love you.
(footsteps thumping) (electricity fizzing)
(footsteps thumping) (electricity fizzing)
(hammer thumping) (ominous music)
(Jessica panting) (hammer thumping)
(Sarah panting)
So now you know the truth.
It was a necessary sacrifice.
I am so sorry, Sarah.
It was foolish of you to give
up the frequency so easily.
Could have used it to
bargain for your life.
I may even have let you live.
(suspenseful music)
(Sarah sighing) (suspenseful
music continues)
I hope we're not keeping you
from something important.
No, I was just calculating
how long you have left to live.
(suspenseful music continues)
What are you talking about?
(pants) Why, why are
there two syringes, not one?
The first syringe just
releases a toxin into the air.
You have less than one minute left, anyway.
(Jessica panting)
What's the second syringe for?
Just enough antidote to save one of you.
(suspenseful music continues)
(hand thumping) (g*n rattling)
Give me the syringe, Jessica.
- I can't.
- Give me the syringe
or I will sh**t you.
(suspenseful music
continues) (Jessica gasping)
You understand, I didn't have any choice.
(pants) Neither do I.
(g*n firing) (Sebastian gurgling)
(suspenseful music continues)
(Sebastian gurgling)
(chess piece thumping)
(suspenseful music continues)
(suspenseful music continues)
(suspenseful music continues)
(suspenseful music continues)
We are Sarah.
We are an unusual creature.
There's two in one.
Are you listening?
I know you can hear me.
(suspenseful music)
You know I'm always here.
You know we could never
escape from each other.
(suspenseful music continues)
(placid music) (air fizzing)
(placid music continues) (air fizzing)
(placid music continues) (air fizzing)
I can hear your voice in the night
I can see your ghost in the light
I can feel your touch upon my skin
I kiss you and it feels like sin
Your reflection in my soul
The only love I want to know
I see the danger in your smile
I feel the stranger in my mind
Will you save me or betray me
(placid music continues)
My dark obsession, my soul
My shadow inside my dimming mind
I see the danger in you smile
I feel the stranger in my mind
(placid music continues)
I would die for you
I would k*ll for you
Your reflection in my soul
The only love I want to know
I would die for you
I would k*ll for you
I see the danger in your smile
I feel the stranger in my mind
I would die for you, my demented
