The School (2018) Movie Script

(GASPS)
(DISTANT CLATTER)
(STEPS PASSING)
(GASPS)
You're not allowed to be
in here.
It's forbidden.
Who are you?
Timmy.
Where am I?
This is the school.
This is the forbidden zone.
No one ever comes down here.
In the school? How did I get...
- (DISTANT HOWLING)
- (GASPS)
You'll get into trouble
if you stay here.
You don't want to get into
trouble.
You better follow me.
(EERIE MUSIC PLAYING)
What is this place?
Where's my Mummy?
Hey!
Shh.
I have blood on my shirt.
I want my Mummy.
You mustn't cry. Shh. Shh.
Why?
She mustn't!
Hey. Shh. It's alright.
Let's help each other be brave,
okay?
(DEMONIC SHRIEKING)
TIMMY: Oh, no, it's too late.
It's heard us.
Oh, no.
Don't move. Don't make a sound.
It can't see us as long
as we stay still.
It's gone.
What was that?
They're the Hungries.
Don't let them touch you.
They're sick.
(EKG BEEPING)
How did I get here?
Doctor Wintercraig!
The patient's name is Melanie.
She suffered a major head trauma
and she is shutting down.
I think we need to activate
a code crimson...
Doctor Wintercraig?
Timmy, where am I?
Timmy?
(EERIE MUSIC PLAYING)
Gotcha.
Amy... shouldn't you be home?
Well, since you are here...
would you be able to look
in on a patient of mine.
Valerie Stevens, she's in
B ward.
I'm actually heading to my
office.
I have some new information
on David's condition.
Well, that's wonderful, your
office is in Ward B, is it not?
Of course... uh, Valerie Stevens
is the girl with Eisenmenger's.
The resulting pulmonary
hypertension...
is scarring her heart tissue.
I'm afraid we might lose her.
Would you mind?
All right.
Amy, there is more.
Valerie has spoken of having
strange nightmares
about the hospital, might be
relevant.
I'm a Heart Surgeon, Peter,
not a psychologist.
You're a brilliant doctor, Amy.
And the heart and mind
are often confused.
Perhaps you could lay some
clarity... thank you.
They're in the wall, they're
in the walls...
- Valerie? It's okay.
- The walls are on fire.
- You're all right, ssh.
- The walls are on fire.
The walls are on fire!
It's burning! It's burning!
Ssh... it's all right.
I'll burn you alive...
you and your son.
(EKG FLATLINING)
Valerie? Valerie?
(ALARM SOUNDING)
Call Doctor Masuta.
(EERIE MUSIC PLAYING)
Hello?
Somebody!
Somebody help me!
Hello!
Help me!
WOMAN: I'll burn you alive,
you and your son.
(PHONE VIBRATES)
Hi.
MAN (OVER PHONE): Thank you for
picking up. Is now a good time?
No.
MAN (OVER PHONE):
Was your phone on silent?
Yes, it's on silent.
Amy, you know we need to have
a serious conversation.
I am not discussing this
with you right now.
When are you going to discuss
it with me?
Please can you give me time.
Isaac, I'm not discussing this
with you right now.
You know that we have
a set the rules.
Yes. I'm well aware of the
rules. Fuck the rules.
Our son needs me.
MAN (OVER PHONE): I need you,
Amy. We both need you, Amy.
I can't make this decision
alone.
It seems you still haven't
gone home.
I am sorry about your patient,
doctor.
I did everything I could.
I know you did.
I would expect nothing less.
Your report mentioned that
Valerie...
woke from a night terror.
A bad dream?
She was terrified.
She was crying out that the
walls were on fire.
That I...
That she was burning alive.
So perhaps in her condition,
yes.
I know her little heart was
collapsing, but do you think...
a bad dream was enough to bring
on heart failure?
Such a tragedy to die so young.
So, how is your son going?
Great. I detected some brain
activity.
I'm running some more blood
tests.
And Isaac? How is your
husband coping?
It's late, Peter and I've got to
get back to my research.
If you wouldn't mind.
Very well.
It is curious... the mind.
I wonder if Valerie knew that this section
of the hospital used to be a school.
A troubled teen burnt it down
100 years ago.
Doctor Wintercraig?
Insie Winsie spider climbed
up the waterspout
What are you doing?
Down came the rain to wash
poor Winsie out
No, no!
(EKG BEEPING)
PETER: It's been two years,
Amy. It's been two years, Amy.
Stop. Not one more word in
front of my son.
I am stuck, Peter. I am in this
hell and I don't...
And hell, like heaven,
it's only a story.
Please don't.
Hell exists only in the mind,
Amy.
It is the place we imagine
our last suffering belongs.
If you indulge your grief and
suffering...
you create your own hell.
David is not dead. He is alive,
the scans.
They are anomalies...
anomalies of a level 2 coma.
You and I both know there has
been no cognitive function...
for over a year now.
Anyone else, Amy, would not
have been able...
to drag it out as long
as you have.
I have been very patient
with you...
believing you'd be able to
overcome this stage of denial.
But you haven't.
Amy, I am speaking as a doctor,
but mostly as a friend.
It is time for this to stop.
Your son drowned, it is not
your fault.
It is time you let him go,
let him cross over.
But more importantly, it's time
for you to wake up, Amy.
(GIRL SINGING)
Condemned to the school
for eternity
GIRL:
Sarah says we shouldn't sing.
Boo!
You scared Sarah.
Did I? I'm sorry.
It's okay, Sarah.
You frightened me, too.
What's your name?
I'm Amy.
Becky.
That's a very pretty name.
Becky.
Do you think you could
help me with something?
You want to get out?
AMY: Can you help me?
GIRL: Sarah told me.
What did she tell you?
The Wallwalker... he wants you.
(RUMBLING)
GIRL: Sarah said the Weepers
are coming.
GIRL:
If you say so, I'm coming...
Sarah says we have to go...
bye bye.
Becky!
Becky!
Becky!
Help me out!
Let me out!
Help me out! Let me out!
Help me! Let me out!
- (EKG BEEPING)
- Let me out!
Amy?
Don't.
Open your eyes. Can you hear me?
Let's go, let's go!
Honey, you're in the hospital.
What's her name?
Melanie.
Melanie, you're in the hospital,
we're going to take care of you.
Quickly.
Take her down to Trauma Room 5,
page the doctor who's on call.
Do it now!
(PHONE VIBRATES)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC FADES UP)
She's lost a lot of blood. She's
going in to hypovolemic shock.
Doctor Wintercraig, she is
shutting down.
We need to activate a code
crimson.
Doctor Wintercraig?
Help me, Mummy.
- (EKG FLATLINES)
- NURSE: Doctor Wintercraig?
NURSE: Doctor Wintercraig?
(INSECT CRAWLING)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
(DOOR OPENS)
Our leader Zac, he's ready
to see you.
Take me to him.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
(BELL CLANGING)
There's been a crime.
Someone has been singing.
Was it you, hey?
Hmm... how about you?
I've been told someone
has been singing.
I know someone has been singing.
No.
And what was he singing? What
was he singing?
I said, what was that
little weed singing?
Hmm hmm hmm hmm.
What is that? Moya, what is
that?
Louder please. Louder!
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm.
You like to sing?
Mmm mmm.
You like the basement?
They like to sing down there.
The basement.
No, no, no, please no,
not the basement!
Please no! Please not the
basement!
Catch.
BOY: Ahh.
This one's been crying.
The cage.
What? No. No, please no.
No, no, you let her go.
Let her go!
Please don't. Let me go.
Let her go.
Here she is.
I know this smell. You afraid?
What is her crime?
Have you got a hole
in your head?
Who said you could speak?
No swearing.
Her crime?
I happen to know, she was found
in the forbidden zone.
And...?
Isn't it obvious?
Okay, wow.
She's a big girl... a grown up.
Where's my son, you freak?
Oh yes, of course.
She's a Mummy, too, but not a
very good one from what I hear.
You don't understand where you
are, do you?
You're too pathetic.
You don't understand the rules.
You're too stupid.
Where's David?
You had your chance.
You had more than one...
you failed.
You failed.
He's mine now.
Ahh!
What a great day.
Naughty Mother Hubbard is tied
to the cupboard.
(LAUGHING MANIACALLY)
Will you be our mummy?
Oh, Mummy.
Well, come on, little corpses.
You want a story?
You want to meet your Mummy?
Come on, let's meet your Mummy
and tell me what is it...
that mummies do best, huh?
What is it?
Tell us stories.
Bingo. They tell us stories.
Wonderful stories!
Of pandas and the nasty raccoon
dogs that eat them.
Will you tell us a story,
Mummy?
You won't need David anymore.
You can be our mummy.
Oh what a wonderful new heaven
we'll have.
(SCREAMING)
What's wrong, what's wrong,
Mummy?
Don't make me rip your head off.
Little panda hides behind
the pale moonlight...
for the raccoon dog has given
him such a fright.
I've lost my way and know
not where to go.
For the raccoon dog has scared
me so.
At the top of the tree,
little panda is aghast...
as a cheeky, golden monkey
swings right past.
The man in the water, he can
help you see.
Take my hand, come, follow me.
Alone, panda waits for the man
in the water...
when from the stream he hears
something slither.
I'm afraid to look, and I'm
afraid to stay...
but where do I run, I've lost
my way.
From the edge of the forest
sneaks raccoon dog...
all nasty and lean.
NURSE: Doctor Wintercraig?
Doctor Wintercraig?
Doctor Wintercraig?
Doctor Wintercraig?
DR. WANG: It's been two years,
Amy. They are anomalies...
anomalies of a level-two coma.
Your son drowned.
It's not your fault.
(GASPING)
BECKY: Sarah says we should
help her.
TIMMY:
She wants the Wallwalker.
Sarah says not to be afraid.
But she's the one who
brought him here.
Sarah says she's the one
who can help us!
Shh.
Sarah says she's not asleep.
Sarah says she can hear us.
It's okay, Mummy. It's okay.
Oh-oh.
Shh, they'll hear.
My son is here, isn't he?
Can you help me find him? I
think he's being held somewhere.
We can't help you.
We can't get to him.
Sarah says Jien might know.
Becky, we can't, we'll be
caught!
We'll be burnt alive or, or
we'll be sent to the basement.
I'll protect you.
I'll be like your mummy...
I'll protect you.
Now let's all four of us,
sit down and make a plan.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
Wait.
Come on.
Ward A.
(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)
Amy.
Isaac.
Are you coming?
(DEMONIC SHRIEKING)
Get away from the window.
Get away, Mummy!
What are they?
They're the Weepers, they come
out of the mist.
They always want to get
into the school.
I've never seen so many.
What do they want? Why do they
want to come inside?
They want us.
Once they bite you, you're
theirs. Come on.
What stops them coming in?
The walls protect us. They can't
get past the walls.
- But sometimes they have got in.
- Shh!
Because of Zac and the
Wallwalker.
Shut up, Becky!
What's the Wallwalker?
Come on, we have to go. We have
to keep moving. This way.
Aww, shit.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
Fire.
Valerie.
BOY: They were not there,
let's get'em!
WEEPER: I'll take the stairs!
Hurry up!
Hide! Hide!
(METAL DRAGGING)
Ahh.
Sarah says to keep running.
Zane's coming.
Come on, quickly!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
Jien?
They were here.
Where did they go?
The forbidden zone.
- You two wait here for the others.
- Okay.
I'll go alone. We'll get her.
You know, if Zac finds out,
he will destroy her.
They're not coming this way.
(WHIMPERING)
Becky? What's the matter?
Quiet, Becky, it's the rules.
It's all right, Timmy.
Becky, what's the matter?
Sarah hasn't been here before.
She can't find her way.
It's okay. I think I'm making
sense of this.
I think I know where I am?
But we're breaking
so many rules.
Don't worry about the rules.
I think I know where
I might find David.
Come on, let's go.
(GASPS)
Come on, Becky.
Sarah says to hide.
It's seen us.
Get down. Hey! Hey!
Come on. Come on.
- There she is.
- Get her!
There, it's a Hungry!
Shoot it. Shoot it, Gerard.
Shoot it.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
- Run! Get out of here, now!
- Run!
(MUSIC ENDS)
Mummy.
Mummy, we thought you were gone.
Mummy.
It's okay.
It's gone.
Why are those ones different?
Why can they get in?
They're not ghosts like the
Weepers, they're dead bodies.
They're from the basement.
They travel up here
through the pipes.
That's why we mustn't
turn on the taps.
If they get you, they'll turn
you into one of their own.
You're not meant to let them
see you.
You are so brave.
Sarah says we should go.
Okay then, let's go.
Okay.
They must be going to the
forbidden zone.
We need to go after them.
No way, I am not going down
there.
How about you do it, tough guy?
Whatever.
Wait, I'll come with you.
No, stay with them.
If he misses again and if
there's any more of them...
we'll need someone who can
fight.
Hey, Jien, what did
pretty boy say?
You all go and let Zac know.
I'll wait here.
Whatever. Come on, guys.
It's down this way.
(WHIP CRACKS)
(HUMMING)
Zac!
Zane let the prisoner
escape.
Where is Zane?
We were attacked by a Hungry,
but Zane killed it.
He went into the Forbidden Zone
after the prisoner.
(YELLING)
It's here.
It should be here.
My baby's room, it should be
here.
I know this place. Come on.
I'll show you.
Me, too, come on.
Oh, you made it, oh, thank god.
Get your hands off them!
It's okay.
By now they would have let Zac
know that you've escaped.
I'm no ally to that monster.
We wanted to tell you.
I'm Jien.
Jien... that's a beautiful name.
(DRIPS)
I'll find them. I don't
need your help.
Well, anything to impress
a girl.
(CHUCKLING)
My girl.
Round and round the garden...
like a teddy bear.
One step, two step...
It's all fun and games until
someone...
gets their face burnt off.
- (FLESH SIZZLES)
- (SCREAMING)
Silly Gerard, he didn't even
see us.
Were you afraid?
I was so afraid. So afraid.
You are such a
scaredy-cat, Timmy.
This is my son's room,
I'm sure of it.
Come, look at this.
(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)
AMY: What is this?
It's to help us remember.
Our shrine.
Remember what?
That, when you die,
you go to heaven.
This was your heaven?
What happened here?
A long time ago, a demon got in.
We thought it was a
Weeper at first.
Yeah, but it was much worse.
He was able to get
through the walls.
He knew the structure and he
knew the points of weakness.
He had powers.
Zac?
Now all we have to
remember is this shrine.
The pictures make us happy.
We are the only ones
who remember.
Everyone else has forgotten.
That's what you were
doing down here.
All the walls were like
this before he came.
Zac wants us to forget,
that's how he keeps his power.
But it's the Wallwalker's fault,
he let him in.
No, it's not his fault,
he didn't know.
He got trapped, trapped
in between.
What is The Wallwalker?
He's been here for such
a long time.
How long?
A long time. He's alone and very
afraid.
He's not like us.
He's stuck.
David.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
AMY: David?
JIAN: He can't get free.
Something won't let him out.
JIAN: He needs help.
We all need help.
David?
(AMY GASPS) David?
(WALL RUMBLING)
AMY: David?
Whoa.
TIMMY: She can move the walls.
I knew it. She's not like us.
Sarah knew she could help us.
She has powers, too.
She's not like us.
David?
David?
(DISTANT HOWLING APPROACHING)
- (GLASS SMASHING)
- (GASPS)
He's on his way.
He'll destroy you.
And you, he'll burn you,
just like he burnt me.
You've all betrayed him.
Zane, he doesn't need to know,
you don't have to tell him.
Just because you're ghosts...
doesn't mean he can't turn you
into something else.
You know he can.
One way or another... he'll make
you obey.
We don't have to do this.
You don't have to do this.
Let them go.
(DISTANT THUD)
You can hear them.
See, there's no point.
He's bound to let in the
Weepers. He's done it before.
Don't.
(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)
What did he do to you?
Oh no, Zane.
Let them go.
Zane... come with us.
Go, go on.
Come on. Come on.
You have to help Melanie and
Valerie and the others, okay?
You have to be brave...
for their sake.
They... they're not here.
Hey, diddle, diddle, cried the
boy in the middle.
Let's chase and let's play,
my enemies will burn today.
Burn it. What, are you all deaf?
Burn it!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
Hurry!
(MUSIC CONTINUES)
Quickly.
I know Zac will let the Weepers
in. What are we going to do?
Sarah doesn't want to be
a Weeper.
We can't keep running.
If we convince the others to
turn against Zac.
No, they'll never listen.
They're too afraid.
If we stay here, they'll
still find us.
Becky, can you keep running?
Come on, come on!
(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)
(CHUCKLES)
Come on, Becky!
Sarah's lost!
BECKY: Mummy, Mummy!
Becky.
Leave them. It's too late.
We can't leave her.
Zac wouldn't hurt her, he won't.
No, he'll use her, he'll use her
doll to find us.
Come on, come on.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)
It's okay.
Daddy's coming.
Ow.
Becky, Becky, Becky.
Tut-tut-tut.
Sarah says you're going to
hurt me... really bad.
Well, if there's one thing we
all know about Sarah...
it's that she's always right.
Sarah says you won't be able to
hurt me for much longer.
We'll see about that.
No.
She won't be saying much now,
will she?
Little Becky's dolly is now
sick, sick, sick.
Mummy's got more power than you.
Shut up, Becky.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC FADES UP)
Oh no, no, no, not down there!
(STEPS APPROACHING)
We have no choice.
No, stop, the Hungries will
get us!
No one ever comes back
from the basement... no one.
You said it yourself,
we have no choice.
Shh. Shh.
ZAC: Come out, come out,
where are you?
Boys and girls, come out
to play.
A Weeper's smile is bright
as day.
Leave your mother and leave
your keep.
And join the devils
in the street.
Come with a whimper or come
with a call.
Breathe out your bad
intentions...
Timmy?
...or don't breathe at all.
Get them.
Argh!
Go!
BOY: It's locked.
Don't bother, the bodies of the
dead have them now.
They'll never cross that river.
We have won.
Unless one of them isn't dead.
No, don't go down there, Mummy.
Why do you do that?
Come on, sit down, Timmy.
Why do you call me Mummy?
We have been here for so long.
They can't remember our
mothers... not anymore.
I wish you were my Mummy.
Oh, sweet heart.
What's down here?
It's a bad place, a dark place.
We shouldn't go down there.
Only the dead are down there.
You won't find him.
Your son, he's not down there.
What are you not telling me?
What do you know?
How do we get to him?
How do we get into the walls?
We can't. You trapped him.
What?
JIEN:
You wouldn't let him go...
you kept him trapped
in between the walls.
And then something else got in.
Zac. He was waiting, always
waiting.
Walking with the Weepers.
He got through the walls when
he found your son...
and you trapped David forever.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC FADES UP)
AMY: David, I'm sorry.
Ahh-ahh-ahh.
Damn her. Damn her!
Zac, what's wrong,
what can I do?
She knows! That bitch,
she knows!
That bitch knows she has
to let that little bastard go.
Get to the mess hall and get
more weapons.
Burn everything.
Watch out for Weepers,
they'll be inside.
They'll be looking
for cuddles and kisses.
Weepers, how would they get in?
You can figure that out.
We should release the kids
from the cages.
We'll need all the help
we can get.
Oh what a goosey, goosey gander,
you are!
Upstairs and downstairs and
in our lady's chamber.
We know your ladies are hungry.
Ha-ha.
Hey, Zac, you can't leave us.
I'm a goin' huntin', Ma.
I'm gonna hunt me a sow.
Do we have to burn everything?
It's so pretty.
We need to get to the mess
hall... now!
(EKG BEEPING)
(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)
It's okay.
Don't go down there, Mummy,
please.
Do you know what Mummies do
best? We tell wonderful stories.
Climb, little panda,
do not slip or falter.
Be brave little panda.
Let's find safe shelter.
Little Panda.
Show no fear. We cannot stay.
We must be brave, little panda,
and find our way.
(SHRIEKING)
AMY: That has to be the way.
It can't be too deep.
- (SNARLING)
- Oh, no, the Hungries.
TIMMY: I am scared, Jien.
It's okay.
(STONES CLACKING)
(GASPS)
(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)
Come on.
(THUDS)
AMY: We can cross here.
(OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)
(MUSIC CHANGES)
(SCREAMING)
Stay away from the windows.
Whatever happens, don't
let them bite you.
Come on.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
It's shallow enough
here to cross.
Mummy, I'm scared.
I'm going to hold on to you,
tightly.
You don't have to be afraid.
Look, it's not deep.
I want you to hold on tight,
okay?
Okay.
Okay, Timmy, come on.
(DEMONIC GROWLING)
Timmy, look at me, it's okay,
come on.
JIEN: Come on, Timmy.
Now close your eyes, okay,
good boy.
What's that?
Close your eyes, Jien.
(RUMBLING)
Keep hold of me, Jien.
It's okay, come on,
stay with me.
Agh... bodies.
Hurry, Jien.
I can't open it.
It's all right.
Wait here. I'll see if it's safe
and I'll come back.
Okay. Come here.
TIMMY: Mummy!
(EERIE MUSIC PLAYING)
David?
David?
David?
David?
Zoom, zoom, zoom.
- AMY: You know I can't.
- ISAAC: When are you...
I can't take the time off,
Isaac, I can't.
- You mean, you won't.
- No, I can't.
I mean, how long? How long's
it been going on for?
It's my job. I save lives. Do
you understand that I am needed?
Yeah and at what expense?
David and I need you.
Don't make this about David.
We never see you any more,
your child barely knows you...
and you are missing the best
years of his life.
- Mummy.
- David!
(SHRIEKING)
Mummy.
What happened?
I found my son.
I know what I have to do now.
(RUMBLING)
TIMMY: The Wallwalker is here.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC FADES UP)
David.
Oh... oh.
I knew I'd find you.
David? David?
Maybe he can't remember.
Just like us.
He is one of us now.
Amy, we need to go back
and find Zane.
We need to fight the Weepers.
I know Zac would have
let them in to punish us.
Mummy, we have to go.
Come on.
It's okay.
JIEN: Let's cross while we can.
- AMY: Okay.
- Come on.
I've got you. Come here. Come.
It's okay.
Come on.
Right.
(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)
Ahh.
I am scared.
Come on, Timmy. Come on.
Agh!
Quickly, take David.
- Argh!
- TIMMY: Mummy, no.
- Get the children out of here.

What about you?
I have to finish this.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
AMY: My son is free.
This ain't no matinee, darlin'!
You! Jien of deceit.
Go to hell!
I'm already there.
Then what are you waiting for?
Hurry! Get them safe.
TIMMY: Behind you.
Leave her alone!
Little Timmy Tucker sings
for his supper.
You there, no singing.
It's the rules.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)
If you wake, you shall
have cake.
Shut the fuck up.
TIMMY: The bodies.
ISAAC: Amy?
(DEMONIC WHISPERING)
You need to leave. I'll be okay.
Jien! Take care of my son.
Take care of all of them.
Yeah, I will. Come on, let's go.

You're not allowed to be
in here.
It's forbidden.
Who are you?
Timmy.
Where am I?
This is the school.
This is the forbidden zone.
No one ever comes down here.
In the school? How did I get...
- (DISTANT HOWLING)
- (GASPS)
You'll get into trouble
if you stay here.
You don't want to get into
trouble.
You better follow me.
(EERIE MUSIC PLAYING)
What is this place?
Where's my Mummy?
Hey!
Shh.
I have blood on my shirt.
I want my Mummy.
You mustn't cry. Shh. Shh.
Why?
She mustn't!
Hey. Shh. It's alright.
Let's help each other be brave,
okay?
(DEMONIC SHRIEKING)
TIMMY: Oh, no, it's too late.
It's heard us.
Oh, no.
Don't move. Don't make a sound.
It can't see us as long
as we stay still.
It's gone.
What was that?
They're the Hungries.
Don't let them touch you.
They're sick.
(EKG BEEPING)
How did I get here?
Doctor Wintercraig!
The patient's name is Melanie.
She suffered a major head trauma
and she is shutting down.
I think we need to activate
a code crimson...
Doctor Wintercraig?
Timmy, where am I?
Timmy?
(EERIE MUSIC PLAYING)
Gotcha.
Amy... shouldn't you be home?
Well, since you are here...
would you be able to look
in on a patient of mine.
Valerie Stevens, she's in
B ward.
I'm actually heading to my
office.
I have some new information
on David's condition.
Well, that's wonderful, your
office is in Ward B, is it not?
Of course... uh, Valerie Stevens
is the girl with Eisenmenger's.
The resulting pulmonary
hypertension...
is scarring her heart tissue.
I'm afraid we might lose her.
Would you mind?
All right.
Amy, there is more.
Valerie has spoken of having
strange nightmares
about the hospital, might be
relevant.
I'm a Heart Surgeon, Peter,
not a psychologist.
You're a brilliant doctor, Amy.
And the heart and mind
are often confused.
Perhaps you could lay some
clarity... thank you.
They're in the wall, they're
in the walls...
- Valerie? It's okay.
- The walls are on fire.
- You're all right, ssh.
- The walls are on fire.
The walls are on fire!
It's burning! It's burning!
Ssh... it's all right.
I'll burn you alive...
you and your son.
(EKG FLATLINING)
Valerie? Valerie?
(ALARM SOUNDING)
Call Doctor Masuta.
(EERIE MUSIC PLAYING)
Hello?
Somebody!
Somebody help me!
Hello!
Help me!
WOMAN: I'll burn you alive,
you and your son.
(PHONE VIBRATES)
Hi.
MAN (OVER PHONE): Thank you for
picking up. Is now a good time?
No.
MAN (OVER PHONE):
Was your phone on silent?
Yes, it's on silent.
Amy, you know we need to have
a serious conversation.
I am not discussing this
with you right now.
When are you going to discuss
it with me?
Please can you give me time.
Isaac, I'm not discussing this
with you right now.
You know that we have
a set the rules.
Yes. I'm well aware of the
rules. Fuck the rules.
Our son needs me.
MAN (OVER PHONE): I need you,
Amy. We both need you, Amy.
I can't make this decision
alone.
It seems you still haven't
gone home.
I am sorry about your patient,
doctor.
I did everything I could.
I know you did.
I would expect nothing less.
Your report mentioned that
Valerie...
woke from a night terror.
A bad dream?
She was terrified.
She was crying out that the
walls were on fire.
That I...
That she was burning alive.
So perhaps in her condition,
yes.
I know her little heart was
collapsing, but do you think...
a bad dream was enough to bring
on heart failure?
Such a tragedy to die so young.
So, how is your son going?
Great. I detected some brain
activity.
I'm running some more blood
tests.
And Isaac? How is your
husband coping?
It's late, Peter and I've got to
get back to my research.
If you wouldn't mind.
Very well.
It is curious... the mind.
I wonder if Valerie knew that this section
of the hospital used to be a school.
A troubled teen burnt it down
100 years ago.
Doctor Wintercraig?
Insie Winsie spider climbed
up the waterspout
What are you doing?
Down came the rain to wash
poor Winsie out
No, no!
(EKG BEEPING)
PETER: It's been two years,
Amy. It's been two years, Amy.
Stop. Not one more word in
front of my son.
I am stuck, Peter. I am in this
hell and I don't...
And hell, like heaven,
it's only a story.
Please don't.
Hell exists only in the mind,
Amy.
It is the place we imagine
our last suffering belongs.
If you indulge your grief and
suffering...
you create your own hell.
David is not dead. He is alive,
the scans.
They are anomalies...
anomalies of a level 2 coma.
You and I both know there has
been no cognitive function...
for over a year now.
Anyone else, Amy, would not
have been able...
to drag it out as long
as you have.
I have been very patient
with you...
believing you'd be able to
overcome this stage of denial.
But you haven't.
Amy, I am speaking as a doctor,
but mostly as a friend.
It is time for this to stop.
Your son drowned, it is not
your fault.
It is time you let him go,
let him cross over.
But more importantly, it's time
for you to wake up, Amy.
(GIRL SINGING)
Condemned to the school
for eternity
GIRL:
Sarah says we shouldn't sing.
Boo!
You scared Sarah.
Did I? I'm sorry.
It's okay, Sarah.
You frightened me, too.
What's your name?
I'm Amy.
Becky.
That's a very pretty name.
Becky.
Do you think you could
help me with something?
You want to get out?
AMY: Can you help me?
GIRL: Sarah told me.
What did she tell you?
The Wallwalker... he wants you.
(RUMBLING)
GIRL: Sarah said the Weepers
are coming.
GIRL:
If you say so, I'm coming...
Sarah says we have to go...
bye bye.
Becky!
Becky!
Becky!
Help me out!
Let me out!
Help me out! Let me out!
Help me! Let me out!
- (EKG BEEPING)
- Let me out!
Amy?
Don't.
Open your eyes. Can you hear me?
Let's go, let's go!
Honey, you're in the hospital.
What's her name?
Melanie.
Melanie, you're in the hospital,
we're going to take care of you.
Quickly.
Take her down to Trauma Room 5,
page the doctor who's on call.
Do it now!
(PHONE VIBRATES)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC FADES UP)
She's lost a lot of blood. She's
going in to hypovolemic shock.
Doctor Wintercraig, she is
shutting down.
We need to activate a code

(BELL CLANGING)
There's been a crime.
Someone has been singing.
Was it you, hey?
Hmm... how about you?
I've been told someone
has been singing.
I know someone has been singing.
No.
And what was he singing? What
was he singing?
I said, what was that
little weed singing?
Hmm hmm hmm hmm.
What is that? Moya, what is
that?
Louder please. Louder!
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm.
You like to sing?
Mmm mmm.
You like the basement?
They like to sing down there.
The basement.
No, no, no, please no,
not the basement!
Please no! Please not the
basement!
Catch.
BOY: Ahh.
This one's been crying.
The cage.
What? No. No, please no.
No, no, you let her go.
Let her go!
Please don't. Let me go.
Let her go.
Here she is.
I know this smell. You afraid?
What is her crime?
Have you got a hole
in your head?
Who said you could speak?
No swearing.
Her crime?
I happen to know, she was found
in the forbidden zone.
And...?
Isn't it obvious?
Okay, wow.
She's a big girl... a grown up.
Where's my son, you freak?
Oh yes, of course.
She's a Mummy, too, but not a
very good one from what I hear.
You don't understand where you
are, do you?
You're too pathetic.
You don't understand the rules.
You're too stupid.
Where's David?
You had your chance.
You had more than one...
you failed.
You failed.
He's mine now.
Ahh!
What a great day.
Naughty Mother Hubbard is tied
to the cupboard.
(LAUGHING MANIACALLY)
Will you be our mummy?
Oh, Mummy.
Well, come on, little corpses.
You want a story?
You want to meet your Mummy?
Come on, let's meet your Mummy
and tell me what is it...
that mummies do best, huh?
What is it?
Tell us stories.
Bingo. They tell us stories.
Wonderful stories!
Of pandas and the nasty raccoon
dogs that eat them.
Will you tell us a story,
Mummy?
You won't need David anymore.
You can be our mummy.
Oh what a wonderful new heaven
we'll have.
(SCREAMING)
What's wrong, what's wrong,
Mummy?
Don't make me rip your head off.
Little panda hides behind
the pale moonlight...
for the raccoon dog has given
him such a fright.
I've lost my way and know
not where to go.
For the raccoon dog has scared
me so.
At the top of the tree,
little panda is aghast...
as a cheeky, golden monkey
swings right past.
The man in the water, he can
help you see.
Take my hand, come, follow me.
Alone, panda waits for the man
in the water...
when from the stream he hears
something slither.
I'm afraid to look, and I'm
afraid to stay...
but where do I run, I've lost
my way.
From the edge of the forest
sneaks raccoon dog...
all nasty and lean.
NURSE: Doctor Wintercraig?
Doctor Wintercraig?
Doctor Wintercraig?
Doctor Wintercraig?
DR. WANG: It's been two years,
Amy. They are anomalies...
anomalies of a level-two coma.
Your son drowned.
It's not your fault.
(GASPING)
BECKY: Sarah says we should
help her.
TIMMY:
She wants the Wallwalker.
Sarah says not to be afraid.
But she's the one who
brought him here.
Sarah says she's the one
who can help us!
Shh.
Sarah says she's not asleep.
Sarah says she can hear us.
It's okay, Mummy. It's okay.
Oh-oh.
Shh, they'll hear.
My son is here, isn't he?
Can you help me find him? I
think he's being held somewhere.
We can't help you.
We can't get to him.
Sarah says Jien might know.
Becky, we can't, we'll be
caught!
We'll be burnt alive or, or
we'll be sent to the basement.
I'll protect you.
I'll be like your mummy...
I'll protect you.
Now let's all four of us,
sit down and make a plan.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
Wait.
Come on.
Ward A.
(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)
Amy.
Isaac.
Are you coming?
(DEMONIC SHRIEKING)
Get away from the window.
Get away, Mummy!
What are they?
They're the Weepers, they come
out of the mist.
They always want to get
into the school.
I've never seen so many.
What do they want? Why do they
want to come inside?
They want us.
Once they bite you, you're
theirs. Come on.
What stops them coming in?
The walls protect us. They can't
get past the walls.
- But sometimes they have got in.
- Shh!
Because of Zac and the
Wallwalker.
Shut up, Becky!
What's the Wallwalker?
Come on, we have to go. We have
to keep moving. This way.
Aww, shit.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
Fire.
Valerie.
BOY: They were not there,
let's get'em!
WEEPER: I'll take the stairs!
Hurry up!
Hide! Hide!
(METAL DRAGGING)
Ahh.
Sarah says to keep running.
Zane's coming.
Come on, quickly!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
Jien?
They were here.
Where did they go?
The forbidden zone.
- You two wait here for the others.
- Okay.
I'll go alone. We'll get her.
You know, if Zac finds out,
he will destroy her.
They're not coming this way.
(WHIMPERING)
Becky? What's the matter?
Quiet, Becky, it's the rules.
It's all right, Timmy.
Becky, what's the matter?
Sarah hasn't been here before.
She can't find her way.
It's okay. I think I'm making
sense of this.
I think I know where I am?
But we're breaking
so many rules.
Don't worry about the rules.
I think I know where
I might find David.
Come on, let's go.
(GASPS)
Come on, Becky.
Sarah says to hide.
It's seen us.
Get down. Hey! Hey!
Come on. Come on.
- There she is.
- Get her!
There, it's a Hungry!
Shoot it. Shoot it, Gerard.
Shoot it.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
- Run! Get out of here, now!
- Run!
(MUSIC ENDS)
Mummy.
Mummy, we thought you were gone.
Mummy.
It's okay.
It's gone.
Why are those ones different?
Why can they get in?
They're not ghosts like the
Weepers, they're dead bodies.
They're from the basement.
They travel up here
through the pipes.
That's why we mustn't
turn on the taps.
If they get you, they'll turn
you into one of their own.
You're not meant to let them
see you.
You are so brave.
Sarah says we should go.
Okay then, let's go.
Okay.
They must be going to the
forbidden zone.
We need to go after them.
No way, I am not going down
there.
How about you do it, tough guy?
Whatever.
Wait, I'll come with you.
No, stay with them.
If he misses again and if
there's any more of them...
we'll need someone who can
fight.
Hey, Jien, what did
pretty boy say?
You all go and let Zac know.
I'll wait here.
Whatever. Come on, guys.
It's down this way.
(WHIP CRACKS)
(HUMMING)
Zac!
Zane let the prisoner
escape.
Where is Zane?
We were attacked by a Hungry,
but Zane killed it.
He went into the Forbidden Zone
after the prisoner.
(YELLING)
It's here.
It should be here.
My baby's room, it should be
here.
I know this place. Come on.
I'll show you.
Me, too, come on.
Oh, you made it, oh, thank god.
Get your hands off them!
It's okay.
By now they would have let Zac
know that you've escaped.
I'm no ally to that monster.
We wanted to tell you.
I'm Jien.
Jien... that's a beautiful name.
(DRIPS)
I'll find them. I don't
need your help.
Well, anything to impress
a girl.
(CHUCKLING)
My girl.
Round and round the garden...
like a teddy bear.
One step, two step...
It's all fun and games until
someone...
gets their face burnt off.
- (FLESH SIZZLES)
- (SCREAMING)
Silly Gerard, he didn't even
see us.
Were you afraid?
I was so afraid. So afraid.
You are such a
scaredy-cat, Timmy.
This is my son's room,
I'm sure of it.
Come, look at this.
(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)
AMY: What is this?
It's to help us remember.
Our shrine.
Remember what?
That, when you die,
you go to heaven.
This was your heaven?
What happened here?
A long time ago, a demon got in.
We thought it was a
Weeper at first.
Yeah, but it was much worse.
He was able to get
through the walls.
He knew the structure and he
knew the points of weakness.
He had powers.
Zac?
Now all we have to
remember is this shrine.
The pictures make us happy.
We are the only ones
who remember.
Everyone else has forgotten.
That's what you were
doing down here.
All the walls were like
this before he came.
Zac wants us to forget,
that's how he keeps his power.
But it's the Wallwalker's fault,
he let him in.
No, it's not his fault,
he didn't know.
He got trapped, trapped
in between.
What is The Wallwalker?
He's been here for such
a long time.
How long?
A long time. He's alone and very
afraid.
He's not like us.
He's stuck.
David.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
AMY: David?
JIAN: He can't get free.
Something won't let him out.
JIAN: He needs help.
We all need help.
David?
(AMY GASPS) David?
(WALL RUMBLING)
AMY: David?
Whoa.
TIMMY: She can move the walls.
I knew it. She's not like us.
Sarah knew she could help us.
She has powers, too.
She's not like us.
David?
David?
(DISTANT HOWLING APPROACHING)
- (GLASS SMASHING)
- (GASPS)
He's on his way.
He'll destroy you.
And you, he'll burn you,
just like he burnt me.
You've all betrayed him.
Zane, he doesn't need to know,
you don't have to tell him.
Just because you're ghosts...
doesn't mean he can't turn you
into something else.
You know he can.
One way or another... he'll make
you obey.
We don't have to do this.
You don't have to do this.
Let them go.
(DISTANT THUD)
You can hear them.
See, there's no point.
He's bound to let in the
Weepers. He's done it before.
Don't.
(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)
What did he do to you?
Oh no, Zane.
Let them go.
Zane... come with us.
Go, go on.
Come on. Come on.
You have to help Melanie and
Valerie and the others, okay?
You have to be brave...
for their sake.
They... they're not here.
Hey, diddle, diddle, cried the
boy in the middle.
Let's chase and let's play,
my enemies will burn today.
Burn it. What, are you all deaf?
Burn it!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
Hurry!
(MUSIC CONTINUES)
Quickly.
I know Zac will let the Weepers
in. What are we going to do?
Sarah doesn't want to be
a Weeper.
We can't keep running.
If we convince the others to
turn against Zac.
No, they'll never listen.
They're too afraid.
If we stay here, they'll
still find us.
Becky, can you keep running?
Come on, come on!
(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)
(CHUCKLES)
Come on, Becky!
Sarah's lost!
BECKY: Mummy, Mummy!
Becky.
Leave them. It's too late.
We can't leave her.
Zac wouldn't hurt her, he won't.
No, he'll use her, he'll use her
doll to find us.
Come on, come on.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)
It's okay.
Daddy's coming.
Ow.
Becky, Becky, Becky.
Tut-tut-tut.
Sarah says you're going to
hurt me... really bad.
Well, if there's one thing we
all know about Sarah...
it's that she's always right.
Sarah says you won't be able to
hurt me for much longer.
We'll see about that.
No.
She won't be saying much now,
will she?
Little Becky's dolly is now
sick, sick, sick.
Mummy's got more power than you.
Shut up, Becky.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC FADES UP)
Oh no, no, no, not down there!
(STEPS APPROACHING)
We have no choice.
No, stop, the Hungries will
get us!
No one ever comes back
from the basement... no one.
You said it yourself,
we have no choice.
Shh. Shh.
ZAC: Come out, come out,
where are you?
Boys and girls, come out
to play.
A Weeper's smile is bright
as day.
Leave your mother and leave
your keep.
And join the devils
in the street.
Come with a whimper or come
with a call.
Breathe out your bad
intentions...
Timmy?
...or don't breathe at all.
Get them.
Argh!
Go!
BOY: It's locked.
Don't bother, the bodies of the
dead have them now.
They'll never cross that river.
We have won.
Unless one of them isn't dead.
No, don't go down there, Mummy.
Why do you do that?
Come on, sit down, Timmy.
Why do you call me Mummy?
We have been here for so long.
They can't remember our
mothers... not anymore.
I wish you were my Mummy.
Oh, sweet heart.
What's down here?
It's a bad place, a dark place.
We shouldn't go down there.
Only the dead are down there.
You won't find him.
Your son, he's not down there.
What are you not telling me?
What do you know?
How do we get to him?
How do we get into the walls?
We can't. You trapped him.
What?
JIEN:
You wouldn't let him go...
you kept him trapped
in between the walls.
And then something else got in.
Zac. He was waiting, always
waiting.
Walking with the Weepers.
He got through the walls when
he found your son...
and you trapped David forever.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC FADES UP)
AMY: David, I'm sorry.
Ahh-ahh-ahh.
Damn her. Damn her!
Zac, what's wrong,
what can I do?
She knows! That bitch,
she knows!
That bitch knows she has
to let that little bastard go.
Get to the mess hall and get
more weapons.
Burn everything.
Watch out for Weepers,
they'll be inside.
They'll be looking
for cuddles and kisses.
Weepers, how would they get in?
You can figure that out.
We should release the kids
from the cages.
We'll need all the help
we can get.
Oh what a goosey, goosey gander,
you are!
Upstairs and downstairs and
in our lady's chamber.
We know your ladies are hungry.
Ha-ha.
Hey, Zac, you can't leave us.
I'm a goin' huntin', Ma.
I'm gonna hunt me a sow.
Do we have to burn everything?
It's so pretty.
We need to get to the mess
hall... now!
(EKG BEEPING)

It's okay.
Don't go down there, Mummy,
please.
Do you know what Mummies do
best? We tell wonderful stories.
Climb, little panda,
do not slip or falter.
Be brave little panda.
Let's find safe shelter.
Little Panda.
Show no fear. We cannot stay.
We must be brave, little panda,
and find our way.
(SHRIEKING)
AMY: That has to be the way.
It can't be too deep.

I'm going to hold on to you,
tightly.
You don't have to be afraid.
Look, it's not deep.
I want you to hold on tight,
okay?
Okay.
Okay, Timmy, come on.

Timmy, look at me, it's okay,

Now close your eyes, okay,

What's that?

Keep hold of me, Jien.
It's okay, come on,

It's my job. I save lives. Do
you understand that I am needed?
Yeah and at what expense?
David and I need you.
Don't make this about David.
We never see you any more,
your child barely knows you...
and you are missing the best
years of his life.
- Mummy.

I found my son.
I know what I have to do now.

I knew I'd find you.
David? David?
Maybe he can't remember.
Just like us.
He is one of us now.
Amy, we need to go back
and find Zane.
We need to fight the Weepers.
I know Zac would have
let them in to punish us.
Mummy, we have to go.
Come on.
It's okay.
JIEN: Let's cross while we can.
- AMY: Okay.
- Come on.
I've got you. Come here. Come.
It's okay.
Come on.
Right.
(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)
Ahh.
I am scared.
Come on, Timmy. Come on.
Agh!
Quickly, take David.
- Argh!
- TIMMY: Mummy, no.
- Get the children out of here.
- Okay.
What about you?
I have to finish this.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
AMY: My son is free.
This ain't no matinee, darlin'!
You! Jien of deceit.
Go to hell!
I'm already there.
Then what are you waiting for?
Hurry! Get them safe.
TIMMY: Behind you.
Leave her alone!
Little Timmy Tucker sings
for his supper.
You there, no singing.
It's the rules.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)
If you wake, you shall
have cake.
Shut the fuck up.
TIMMY: The bodies.
ISAAC: Amy?
(DEMONIC WHISPERING)
You need to leave. I'll be okay.
Jien! Take care of my son.
Take care of all of them.
Yeah, I will. Come on, let's go.
