1
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:57,397
Right... Right.

2
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:14,435
(Car horn beeps)

3
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,553
Yes. Yes, I'm coming.

4
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,152
(Ticking)

5
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,992
(Ticking stops)

6
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:35,955
Alice, love. Welcome.
Let's get you inside. That's right.

7
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,118
What about the suitcases?

8
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,436
We'll send someone out to fetch them.

9
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,358
One of our big strong lads.

10
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,233
Eh, Alice?

11
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,714
I wish you'd seen her
when she was herself.

12
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,957
I was a very lucky man.

13
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,039
The only thing is,
you do begin to think...

14
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:25,480
...with no children, that when
you're gone, there's nothing left.

15
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,435
A whole lifetime of loving someone,
just finished up...

16
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,240
...and forgotten.

17
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,553
It all seems...

18
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,760
...strangely wasteful to me.
Inelegant.

19
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,998
The universe is usually
so parsimonious,

20
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,351
conservation of energy and so on.

21
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,317
But not when it comes to love.

22
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,950
When it comes to love,
the universe is oddly profligate.

23
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,549
James, when did you retire?

24
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,717
Last year. The year before.

25
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,992
And what have you done since then?

26
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,397
- I've looked after my wife.
- And you've done a wonderful job.

27
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,196
You've bathed her and fed her
and read to her and did what you could.

28
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,152
But now that job is done.

29
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,797
Just take yourself away. Relax.

30
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,550
Get used to the idea of having
some time for yourself.

31
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,236
So, they don't want me around
for a few days.

32
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,832
Getting under everyone's feet
and disturbing your new routines.

33
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,759
Your mealtimes and so on.

34
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:53,112
So, I decided to take
a few days away.

35
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,795
Take a peek
at some of our old haunts.

36
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:03,356
Take some photographs,
bring them back to show you.

37
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,912
Maybe a stick of rock.

38
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,310
I love you, my darling.

39
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,193
I'll see you soon.

40
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,789
Call me if you need me.

41
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,879
? Oh, whistle and I'll come to you,
my lad

42
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,040
She spilt wine over my toes.

43
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,156
They said, "Wine!"

44
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,111
My mother was a darling.

45
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,677
She barked.
She barked and barked'.

46
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,279
Been to Combe Bideford before,
have you?

47
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,437
A long time ago.

48
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,155
My wife and I came here

49
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,112
not long after we were married.

50
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,311
Was it your honeymoon?

51
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,000
We used to ramble.

52
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,716
Yes, we were...
we were ramblers.

53
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,719
I'm not quite sure
what you'd call them nowadays.

54
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,036
Backpackers, I think. Hikers.

55
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,992
Not quite the same thing.

56
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:49,149
But, yes,
we used to picnic on the beach,

57
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,956
open a bottle of wine,
watch out for shooting stars.

58
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,390
Oh, you're an astrologer.

59
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,193
Astronomer.

60
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,631
Astrology is Capricorn, Aquarius,

61
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,719
tall dark strangers,
Mystic Meg and whatnot.

62
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,959
I'm actually more of a scientist
and so on.

63
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,675
Oh, lovely.

64
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,598
I had this dog was a Gemini.

65
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,633
A schnauzer.
A little rogue, she was, I tell you.

66
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,231
Into everything the minute
you turned your back.

67
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,274
So I've got you down
for a double room.

68
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,790
Oh, no. No, that's not what...

69
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,958
No, that's not what I...

70
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,233
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- No, I'm sorry. My fault.

71
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,511
Let me just...

72
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,558
- Is it a nice room?
- Oh, it's a lovely room, yes.

73
00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:44,275
Well...that'll be fine.

74
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,109
Can I show you to the room?

75
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,039
Just point me in the right direction.
I'm sure I'll be able to find it.

76
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,277
Right you are. Up those stairs there,

77
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,598
through the door at the top,
and right along to the end.

78
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,200
Right.

79
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,159
Thank you.

80
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,592
Right.

81
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,837
Right, right, right.

82
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,398
Sorry, if I could just...

83
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,115
What time does the restaurant
actually open?

84
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,029
- Open for dinner from 7.00pm.
- Excellent.

85
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,231
Off to work up an appetite?

86
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,637
How long were you alone,

87
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,355
waiting for someone to find you?

88
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:47,640
"Quis...est...iste...qui...

89
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,438
"...venit?"

90
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,876
"Who is this who is coming?"

91
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:16,677
"Who is this who is coming?"

92
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,919
Oh, I'm very well.

93
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:11,399
I just thought I'd give you a call.
Erm... How is my girl?

94
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,433
(Nurse) Oh, she's fine. She's quiet.

95
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,075
She's content. Don't fret.

96
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,998
Enjoy the break.

97
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,431
I'm sorry.

98
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,238
Give her my love, won't you?

99
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,994
- Thank you.
- No problem. Now go and relax.

100
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,915
He sends his love.
He's missing you.

101
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,597
He does adore you.

102
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,912
Time to eat.

103
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:42,000
(Child plays loudly)

104
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:48,953
Oh'.

105
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,880
(Wind whistles)

106
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,077
(Creaking)

107
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,470
(Scratching)

108
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,232
(Scratching)

109
00:22:34,360 --> 00:22:36,272
(Scratching continues)

110
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,959
- Morning. Sleep well?
- Oh, very well, thank you.

111
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,234
- Actually, not really.
- Oh, sorry to hear that.

112
00:25:50,360 --> 00:25:52,158
Was it the storm? What a ruckus'.

113
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:53,760
No, it was...

114
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:02,310
I think I have a rat in my room.

115
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:03,715
A rat?

116
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,480
I heard it scratching all night.

117
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,193
Did you see it?

118
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:09,640
No.

119
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,117
I got a feeling that
it was trapped in the wall.

120
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,311
Or under the floorboards, maybe.

121
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,320
Oh, Mr Parkin, I'm so sorry.
Would you like to change your room?

122
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,035
Oh, no, no.

123
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:23,753
But I assume you'll...?

124
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,317
Oh, gosh, yes. Absolutely.
We'll look into it straight away.

125
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,875
Oh, not to worry too much.

126
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,753
Old building...

127
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,999
Actually, they're amazing creatures,
rats.

128
00:26:36,120 --> 00:26:39,636
Machines for survival.
Admirable in their own way.

129
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,752
I expect it was driven in by the cold.

130
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,597
Anyway, not to worry.

131
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,792
Well, thank you for your kindness.

132
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,877
Not at all.

133
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,437
- Breakfast is...?
- It's being served right now.

134
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,074
Excellent.

135
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:05,400
Oh, could somebody look
at my bedside lamp as well?

136
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,480
- Loose connection, I think.
- Oh, absolutely. No problem at all.

137
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,273
Thank you.

138
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,032
(Wind whistles)

139
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,277
(Wind blows)

140
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,110
(Creaking)

141
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,470
(Scratching)

142
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,836
(Creaking)

143
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,637
(Rattling)

144
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,477
(Squeaking)

145
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,158
(Thump)

146
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,234
(Thump)

147
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,432
(Banging)

148
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,110
(Knocking)

149
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,239
(Banging)

150
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,959
(Banging continues)

151
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:55,794
(Intense banging)

152
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,712
(Metallic jangling)

153
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,756
(Sobbing)

154
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,593
(Sighs)

155
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,480
Oh'.

156
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,114
Oh'.

157
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,440
Excuse me'.

158
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,192
Oh, no!

159
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,118
Excuse me'.

160
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:29,712
Hello?

161
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,551
I'm so sorry you got a fright.

162
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,754
I had to... It's my son.
He's got the flu. It's the weather.

163
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,837
It's all right.

164
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:45,679
What's not all right is that
one of your guests

165
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,632
tried to get into my room last night.

166
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,513
I was two seconds
from calling the police.

167
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,438
Thank God I had locked the door.

168
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,955
You're the, er...

169
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,436
You're the only guest
currently staying with us.

170
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,791
No, there's another couple,
with a young child.

171
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,912
They checked out yesterday.

172
00:36:04,720 --> 00:36:05,949
Really?

173
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,196
I'm afraid they did, yes.

174
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:12,800
Well...

175
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,151
Well, who was knocking at my door?

176
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,556
Could it have been you?

177
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,512
I stayed at home. My son, the flu...

178
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:22,438
Another member of staff?

179
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,712
Not only was I the only guest
in the hotel,

180
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,957
I was the only person in the hotel?

181
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,637
I was completely on my own
all night in an empty hotel.

182
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,514
The season, the weather.
It's so quiet.

183
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,154
I'm so sorry.

184
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,239
Is it even legal? What would happen
if there was a fire?

185
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,238
Mr Parkin, I'm really sorry.

186
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,955
- My son...
- He's got the flu, yes.

187
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,231
So who was banging on my door?

188
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:01,035
- I don't know who it could have been.
- Well, somebody was.

189
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,517
- Could it have been a dream?
- Chance'd be a fine thing.

190
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:09,237
Well, this building's not as young
as she was. Perhaps it was a ghost.

191
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:11,759
A ghost?

192
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,999
A discorporate human personality
that has survived bodily death?

193
00:37:17,240 --> 00:37:19,800
One of those, yes. If you like.

194
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,197
Well, I have to admit that
I've never seen a ghost,

195
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,880
so my empirical evidence is zero.

196
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,277
But what I have seen
is the opposite.

197
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:34,156
A body that has outlasted
the existence of the personality.

198
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,840
And that is far, far more horrifying

199
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:42,831
than any spook or ghoul you could
ever hope to glimpse, believe me.

200
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:47,079
There is nothing inside us.

201
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,511
No ghost in these machines.

202
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,871
Man is matter, and matter rots.

203
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,959
Oh, and I do hope
your son gets better.

204
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:09,036
(Whispering) No.
You're nothing. Nothing.

205
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,878
James. How are you, my love?
You sound out of breath.

206
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,038
Yes, well,
I've just been for a ramble.

207
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,034
Is she well?

208
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,790
I'd say she was missing you.

209
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,196
You couldn't possibly put her on?

210
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,118
I'd just like to...

211
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,310
Oh, thank you.

212
00:41:35,720 --> 00:41:37,996
Call for you, my love.

213
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:41,839
She can hear you, James.

214
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:43,997
Gossip away. I'm not listening.

215
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,112
'Hello, darling.'

216
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:52,393
I just wanted to say hello,
and see how you are.

217
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:56,150
'I'm staying in our old hotel.
Do you remember it?'

218
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,398
Do you remember the wine
when we first came?

219
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,716
I think it was Sarson's.

220
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,636
We did laugh, though, didn't we?

221
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,352
We laughed and...

222
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:22,839
Listen... don't worry about me,
OK? I'm fine.

223
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:24,872
I just wish you were here.

224
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,634
So many happy memories.

225
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:37,917
I'll see you soon.

226
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:42,434
Bye.

227
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:45,999
Bye now.

228
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:59,270
Don't fret, my love.
You'll see him soon.

229
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,392
You will. Don't fret.

230
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,239
Oh, Mr Parkin.

231
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:28,031
I'm off for an early bed because
I shall be leaving in the morning.

232
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,039
Oh, you're not cutting your stay short
because of last night?

233
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,038
We could change your room.

234
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:34,799
No, it's not that.

235
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,310
In all honesty, it's not.

236
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,636
Well, it sounds pathetic,

237
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,070
but I'm afraid I miss my wife.

238
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,271
Oh, it's not pathetic at all.

239
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,551
It's lovely. You're very lucky.

240
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,637
How long did you say
you were married?

241
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:52,436
I was 21 and she was 19.

242
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,040
A lifetime, really.

243
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:59,280
- First love?
- First and only.

244
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,551
- Well, erm...
- Yes, of course.

245
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,434
Goodnight. Sleep tight.

246
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,358
Your son, is he better at all?

247
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,199
He is better, I hope.

248
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,596
Not to worry, Mr Parkin.
My mum's looking after him.

249
00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:16,598
You won't be alone tonight.

250
00:44:16,720 --> 00:44:18,200
Ah, good.

251
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:23,475
Not that it matters all that much,
but it's nice to know.

252
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:44,551
Whoever thought you'd be
a homely nick-knack?

253
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:50,313
A madman or a sadist?

254
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,720
Who is this?

255
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,511
Stop it!

256
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,239
Stop it.

257
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:28,519
(Creaking)

258
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,158
(Scratching)

259
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:59,750
(Scratching continues)

260
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:16,477
Go away! Go away, please.
Go away'.

261
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,158
(Squeaking)

262
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:25,913
(Thump)

263
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,153
(Door thumps continuously)

264
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:36,558
(Whispers) Please, please, please.

265
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:39,559
Go away'. Go away'.

266
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,240
(Banging and knocking)

267
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:45,393
Go away'.

268
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,113
(Banging stops)

269
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:57,150
Argh'.

270
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:58,919
Argh'.

271
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:00,679
No!

272
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:06,955
Please, God! Please, God!
Please, God!

273
00:49:34,240 --> 00:49:36,391
I am still here.

274
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,119
I am still here!

275
00:49:42,240 --> 00:49:46,598
I am still here! I am still here!

276
00:49:46,720 --> 00:49:50,350
I'm here!

277
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:56,077
(Scratching)

278
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:20,473
(Knock at door)

279
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:24,752
(Intense knocking)

280
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:48,000
Oh...
