(GROWLS) (KETTLE WHISTLING) Hello? Can you hear me? Come on, Mary.
Come on, Mary.
(KETTLE STOPS WHISTLING) (CHINA CLATTERING) (SCREAMS) (PANTING) Babe, you need to give Dr Holland a ring.
He said any time, day or night.
I'm done with that, Andy.
It's not making a difference.
You've just got to give it a bit of time to work.
It's been six months.
It's getting worse.
Okay.
So we'll get you different medication or some kind of No, Andy.
It's not helping because it's not in my head.
I'm not sick.
So what would you call it, then? What if I really am seeing people who have died? El? Bastards put me on leave.
-Okay, but a couple of weeks might -No.
Indefinite leave.
I'm sorry.
What are you going to do? You've got the code to the records office, right? You know I can't give you that.
-That patient you told me about -I should never have mentioned him.
If you had someone on psych ward who was seeing what I'm seeing, then I need to find him.
-How is that going to help? -He got discharged, didn't he? That means that he found a way to make it stop.
I just need to know how.
I just want his address, that's all.
-I could lose my job.
-Laura, I could lose everything.
No one finds out.
Thank you.
(FOOTSTEPS PASSING) -This is amazing.
-What is? That patient, the one from psych ward.
The things he describes.
-Where did you get that? -It's the same, Andy.
He saw the same things, it can't be a coincidence.
Whatever's happening to me, happened to him.
He's from psych ward.
We're getting married in two months.
Please, Andy, you have to believe what I'm saying.
Oh, I can't do this.
I can't stand here and watch you do this to yourself.
-Andy? -You won't help yourself.
You won't even admit that you need help.
It's not fair.
I'm so sorry.
(SOBBING) I'll call you.
He won't call you, actually, could've told you that last night.
Natural order of things, Max.
See, I would have called her.
That's your problem, you've got "I will call" written all over you.
No, see, bartenders are supposed to get the girls, supposed to have fun, right? -I'm predictable -Unemployable.
Anyway, I've got a building to run so Yeah, another exciting day in Bedlam Heights, huh? -Brightmoor.
-Whatever.
There's no one else, Leanne.
Come on, you know that.
Leanne? Lisa.
Shit.
-Hello.
-Hi.
Who came up with the new name? I did.
Dan Mehotra.
Sales and Letting.
-Can I show you around? -I'll pass.
So, you reckon a rebrand is going to save this place? What do you know about it? (ENGAGED TONE) (KEYPAD BEEPING) OPERATOR: This number is no longer in service.
(HAWAIIAN AIR BY FRIENDLY FIRES PLAYING ON STEREO) Dad? Dad? Dad, it's me, Kate.
-Kiera? -Kate! Oh, my God.
When did you get back? -Um -(LAUGHING) God, look at you, you woman of the world! I mean, look at you.
God, last time I saw you, you were in a school uniform.
Yeah, yeah, the time you told my dad it was your drugs he found in my room.
One.
One of the times.
So, what are you doing here? Okay, so you know I moved in downstairs 'cause my dad did that deal with your dad and This was after the thing, you know, with my boyfriend, the car crash.
Your boyfriend was in a car crash? No, but his car was.
God, the guy deserved it, he was cheating on me.
I meant, what are you doing here in my dad's flat? Oh, well, he's been keeping an eye on me, so I thought I'd do something nice for him.
That paint'll come off that table, right? GIRL: Ellie! I thought you were going to close this idiot down? "Aims to provide categorical proof that the former Bettany Hospital "is the most haunted house in Britain.
" Does anybody actually read this tosh? Don't know.
But it's the last thing we need when we're trying to bury the history.
So get rid.
Kate! Hi, Dad.
That's your daughter? Where'd you pick this one up, Jobcentre? -(CHUCKLES) Dan's a very bright lad.
-Mmm.
I'll take your word for it.
-How were your travels? -Great.
Yeah, really great.
Just what I needed.
Good.
And where's Molly? Molly is still in Thailand with a yoga instructor called Bruce.
Don't ask.
WARREN: So what are your plans? Oh, I'm sorry.
You want your dad to yourself.
Dan's on the team now, Kate.
Okay, I don't believe you can make this place work.
So? I met a guy in Bangkok and he works for a company over here and they deal with social housing.
(SCOFFS) They get massive grants to build new homes but the problem is always the land.
So, that got me thinking.
Look, we sell up, we get out.
We let someone come in, knock it down and start again.
That's what you've come back for? You know, Bedlam Heights only failed because you guys freaked out the customers with the history.
Exactly.
So So, it doesn't change the fact that this is the family business.
This is something you've built up over generations.
You should fight for it.
He doesn't know everything, does he? Dad, listen to me, this is our last chance.
Dan's right.
I'm sorry.
Wait, stop! (SCREAMING) Oh, my God.
(EXCLAIMS) Can I help with something? Uh, no.
I I just got lost.
Easily done.
Those "Keep Out" signs, so confusing.
-Do I know you? -No.
-You're not a resident? -No.
Well, if you're not a resident, how did you get in? I was just I was just having a look around.
-You're after an apartment? -Yeah, maybe.
Well, in that case, I might be able to sort you out.
There's a free gym upstairs, brand-new pool facility and we've just opened the bar here, if you want to take a look.
What did this building use to be? -It was a large family business.
-What kind of business? It's not about what it was, it's about what it is now.
This is one hell of a place to live.
The question is, Ellie, what can I do to make sure you're part of it? Oh, I think it's a bit out of my price range.
Well, don't decide right now.
Take your time, look around.
You might see something you like.
(PANTING) Is she really your type? Kiera, you know what I like.
If you're free later, the show flat up there's still empty.
I've moved on.
Andy, it's me.
Please don't hang up, I need you.
I keep seeing things, not like before in my head.
I keep seeing things that happened to someone else.
No, listen, I I found this building and it started as soon as I came in.
It must have something to do with it.
Well, if I can find out what, then maybe I can make this stop.
Andy? (POP MUSIC PLAYING) You all right? Yeah.
Do you do coffee? Cappuccino, Americano, latte? No, I'll just have a gin and tonic, actually.
I'm Max, by the way.
You just move in? No, I couldn't afford it in a million years.
So what brings you here, then? Oh, just been travelling for a long time and Do you know a guy called Jed? Jed Harper? -You knew him? -Well, kind of.
Through work.
I heard he lived here and I just thought I'd look him up.
-Knew him? -He's dead.
-Sorry, hadn't you heard? -No.
When? -About six months ago.
-Six months? What date? I don't know exactly.
He used to live in my apartment.
But there are things and photos upstairs Would I be able to see them? Let me see if I can take my break.
Okay? Oh, my God.
So, where'd you go? Oh, right.
Oh, um You know, just Thailand and stuff.
And where are you staying at the moment? Well, kind of in my car.
-Seriously? -I don't know how you afford this place.
Have you got three other jobs other than the bar work? My boss, Warren, realised if he gave us each an empty room, he could pay the staff a lot less.
Was that why Jed was here? I think Jed had his own reasons for being here.
Was that his room? Um You okay? Yeah.
-Pretty weird, right? -Yeah, I guess.
You know, people say he had issues.
But I like to keep an open mind.
What happened to him? It was an accident in the cellars.
You know, it wasn't safe down there, part of the building collapsed.
Well, that's the story they told me, anyway.
-Did you know Jed? -No.
But I did meet his mate Ryan.
He couldn't stand living -What the hell are you doing in here? -Kate.
-Who's this? -You're back.
-Ellie.
-Max, get out! Listen, I don't see what the problem is.
Your dad's been showing this place to tenants.
Not this room.
-Out.
-Sorry.
MAX: I didn't Sorry, I didn't mean to cause you any trouble.
Just come in here.
ELLIE: It's okay.
How can you pretend like nothing's happened? -What's wrong? -You hire some idiot to give the place a makeover and hope it'll all go away? Business is bad, Kate.
You know that.
Is that why we're renting out Jed's room? Jed's gone, love.
And I'm sorry about that.
-This place killed him.
-It was an accident.
I don't want to stay here, Dad.
I don't want you to stay here, either.
People were experimented on, abused, made to disappear.
If I could have stopped it, I would.
I am asking you to do the right thing.
Walk away.
Would it make any difference to me and you if I did? It would be a start.
Yeah, I didn't even know she was back.
She worked in, uh, sales and PR here.
Yeah.
You could probably tell from her (GASPS) You were kind of zoned out there for a minute.
I'm fine.
Look, you need to sit down for a minute.
No, I need to go.
Where? Huh? Back to your car? -Why is that there? -What? Who put that there? Now, that wasn't there before.
I don't know what's happening to me.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR) Max? (THUD) (THUD) (GASPS) (DOOR RATTLING) MAX: It's a lad's flat, so we don't really do guest bedding.
Look, I'm I'm really sorry about earlier.
I flew off the handle.
-It wasn't fair on you.
-No, it's fine, I understand.
Ellie knew Jed.
Not very well.
I just, um I just met him a couple of times a few years ago.
-Where? -Just out and about.
DAN: I have had a nightmare day at work.
Oh, God, don't tell me you live here.
Didn't Daddy mention it? You bought own-brand beer again? Oh, mate, it's all beer! Be good.
Really like to get to know you better.
Hey.
-Ellie.
-Right.
You made up your mind? Well, I don't think I can really afford it.
She's going to kip on the sofa until she can sort something else out.
That's cool.
We could do a deal on the spare room.
Or two of us could share.
Max never thought I'd ask.
The sofa's fine.
It's just for tonight.
So How was the big trip? -Turns out it was just what I needed.
-I bet.
Where'd you go? Cambodia, Nepal, Thailand Ellie's just been to Thailand.
-Bet it's amazing out there.
-Yeah.
Totally.
Really? I thought the place was just full of bloody Western hippies.
And daddy's girls.
But the diving in Ko Rang was pretty cool.
How about you? Where did you go? Uh, I can't remember.
-I wasn't there for very long, so -Weren't you? DAN: I might go out there for a few months.
Oh, wait, your dad needs me.
I know you think you're quite the man, swinging your balls around but you have no idea what you're getting yourself involved with.
What is going on with you? -You heard about my cousin? -Yeah.
Accident, right? Was that Warren's fault? Why do you hate him so much? My family is none of your business.
I will find out.
This is my family's building.
And it's doing really well, thanks, since your dad gave me your job.
I have a say in its future, it's got nothing to do with you.
Yeah? Well, let's find out who's Daddy's favourite, shall we? Okay, I'm going to go talk to him.
-And I'm going to have you fired.
-Go for it.
Cocky little shit! I can't believe you employed him to Oh, shit.
Okay, so I was going to say something earlier Go.
Oh, I can't believe I've been so stupid! Don't over-react, okay? -I can't find my shoes.
-Kiera, just get out! -Just go, Kiera! -Actually, I I do need my shoes.
Okay.
Well, if you're going to walk in uninvited She's just a vulnerable kid! She's an adult, we like each other.
And she was here for me when you weren't.
Ugh! God, that is so screwed-up on so many levels I don't even know where to start! You just take whatever you want, don't you? Actually, she was the one that made the first This is silly.
Can we not just be how we use to be? I came back to get my share of this place.
That's all.
So if you won't sell, then there's nothing here that I want.
Kate, don't say things you might regret.
You won't ever see me again.
ELLIE: Who are you? (CREAKING) If you really were a friend of Jed's this is the last place he'd want you to be.
Hello? (SCREAMS) (BEEPING) (SCRAPING) Oh, my God.
(DIALLING) (RINGING) OPERATOR: Which emergency service do you require? (GASPING) What the hell are you doing? This is why it's off-bloody-limits! (GASPING) If I find you here again, you'll be done for trespassing.
Got it? (DOOR OPENING) What do you think you're doing? Look, I'm sorry.
Is this why you came? -Something to do with these? -What do you think you're doing? I think I can help you.
Who says I need your help? Don't act like you know me.
You don't know anything about me.
You made sure of that.
One minute it's Southeast Asia, the next, you give it up to sleep in your car? And then you're turning up at a place that you know nothing about.
You act like I owe you something, we've only just met.
And I did sleep in my car.
-Happy now? -Are you? You know, whether I am or not, it doesn't give you the right to go trawling through my personal things.
Fine.
If I was in your shoes, that's what I'd want.
Someone on my side.
I can't explain it, Max.
I I see things that other people don't see.
You can't help me with that, so just drop it, okay? Okay.
(TELEVISION NEWS PLAYING) -What's your verdict on the new girl? -Oh, why? She's a lousy liar.
I should know.
I've met enough good ones.
Are you my 10:30? Do you want to be my 10:30? Why do you think Ellie's lying? You don't buy all that Thailand stuff, do you? Maybe she just doesn't want people knowing all about her.
Fair enough.
I like a challenge.
Hi, this is Andy, leave a message.
Andy, it's me.
Look, I'm not being weird but Well, I came to look for that guy but Well, he died.
The same day that all of this started happening to me.
I mean, the very same time that I first saw one, Andy.
That's got to mean something, hasn't it? Well, it means that I'm not crazy and I just thought (BREATHING HEAVILY) (GASPS) Leave me alone.
Please.
Please, leave me alone.
You're dead, I saw you die! Ellie? Who were you talking to? What do you see? It's ghosts.
You see ghosts, don't you? Can you stop staring at me like I'm some sort of circus freak? What do they look like? They look confused and lost.
Out there, anyway.
But in here, it's different.
-Different how? -Hate and anger.
I've never seen that before.
Look, I'm kind of an expert at this stuff An expert whose first question is, "What do they look like?" Since I came here, I keep having like blackouts or something.
It's like a dream but I'm not asleep.
And I keep seeing this same man over and over again in his last moments.
He hanged himself.
You're seeing how the revenant died.
-The what? -Revenant.
It's my preferred term, you know.
"Ghost" is a bit Patrick Swayze.
Okay, so I'm seeing how they died.
-That's what being a medium is.
-No, I'm not a medium.
What do you think's happening to you, Ellie? I mean, what do you think happened to Jed? I know what you're seeing is real.
I know it.
-And we can make it stop.
-All of it? Let's deal with one problem at a time, yeah? I don't know what it wants from me.
Okay.
Where were you when it first happened? I was just wandering around the building, the old part that's closed off.
And there was a loose board and And something fell out, like a Like a skeleton.
-A skeleton? -That's it.
That's when the visions started.
This patient, he was being beaten up and he was trying to get away.
He finds this space, it's dark and tiny, but he's safe there.
And he could see outside through a small crack, he could see the sun again.
And that's where he dies? With a smile on his face.
Like it's the happiest he's been in forever.
So when you found these bones, what did you do with them? Well, I just left them where they fell.
You don't think it might be an idea to put them back? I don't think this is a very good idea.
You'd rather stay in the apartment by yourself? Right.
Now, this guy that you've been seeing, yeah? They did bad things to him.
I mean, maybe hanging himself was his way out, his way of finding peace.
Oh.
Mr Happy, you, aren't you? You disturbed his peace.
It's that way.
Let's get this done.
(SCREAMS) Ellie! The bones.
Go! (GRUNTING) Ellie, you okay? It's done.
What are you smiling at? Honestly, I had no idea that was going to work.
Come on.
-Sorry.
-It's all right.
Should really fix this lock.
Dan said that Kate's moved on.
That means there's a room going.
-Even after today? -Today is exactly why I need to be here.
See, I don't get you.
Whatever's happening to me, Max, I think this place is why.
What makes you think that? Just a feeling.
