- I'm Detective Sergeant Locke.

Do you know why you're here?

If we're to get to the bottom of this,

I'm here to question you about events on the night

of Sunday the 3rd of October.

Do you recall what happened?

Listen!

We've got three corpses in the morgue.

Two of which were found in your apartment.

The one fished from the canal was a veritable jigsaw puzzle.

We need to know what happened.

- It wasn't me.

- What?

Speak up.

- It wasn't me.

It was Lex.

- Lex?

- She wanted him dead.

She's inside me.

She makes things happen.

- I think we better start at the beginning.

How did you come to be staying at that apartment?

(sighing)

- I was drawn to it.

- How exactly?

(sighing)

- I needed a place to stay.

I was driving around the city.

Lost.

Something drew me there.

(rain and thunder)

- Fitz Properties, East Bank, London.

Dear Mr. Fitz

I'm writing to you about your advertisement

for a PA, stoke secretary.

You typed this.

Very nicely written.

You spelled my name right.

That's always a good start.

Oh, we've got your CV as well.

Uhm, qualifications.

Short hand?

Well that's very good.

I've got a short hand job that needs doing right now.

Let's see if you have the right attributes.

We'll start with the blouse.

Take it off.

(tense, ominous music)

You do want the job, don't you?

Mmm.

(slow tense piano music)

The skirt.

Well now, that wasn't hard was it?

I'd say you're well on your way to getting the job.

Well, 50% of the way.

(thundering)

How 'bout we do the other 50%, hmm?

(slow ominous guitar music)

It's an excellent opportunity that's on offer.

Plenty of scope for advancement.

You'll soon be working your way up the management pole.

Oh dear.

Silly me, I've dropped something under the desk.

You would be an angel and bend down and pick it up for me?

Would you?

(thundering)

(phone ringing)

Fitz Properties.

- Fitz, this is Ivan, we need to talk.

- Yeah alright, I've been meaning to call you, you know.

- [Ivan] Fitz, Fitz!

Where are my tapes?

You promised me a regular supply.

- Yeah, yeah, I, well, I know.

The, the, the apartments empty.

- [Ivan] What happened to the girl?

The blonde girl?

Well she was great.

- Well, you know, uh, she uh,

well she, (stammering) sort of disappeared you know.

She was the transient type.

- [Ivan] All I know is this,

you send me more tapes for the website.

If not, I send my brother Olaf to pay you a little visit.

(dead phone line beeping)

- Ah forget it love.

I've lost the impetuous.

(phone ringing)

- Fitz.

- Hello, I'm calling about

the furnished apartment you have for rent.

Is it still available?

- The apartment, yes (stammering) it is still available.

I need some details. Name?

- Annie Dyer.

- Age?

- 28.

- Hmm.

Marital status?

- Single.

- Well, you sound like the ideal tenant.

Why don't you come straight over to the office.

- Ok.

(phone hanging up)

- What are you still doing here?

Can't you see I've got work to do?

Fuck off.

(woman sighing)

(thundering)

- Wait a minute Annie.

How do you know what went on in that office?

You weren't there!

- I passed the girl on her way out.

And I know what kind of man he was.

- Alright, go on.

- So I went over to Fitz's office.

He was practically falling over himself to give me the keys.

(ominous music)

- Do you have a reference from the previous landlord.

- Not really.

- 500 Pound deposit in case of any damage to the furnishings.

- No.

- Well.

You look like someone I can trust. (chuckling)

There you go.

Well, I'll head over there myself.

I need to go on down to the basement.

Switch on the uhm...

Power and any other accoutrements.

(ominous music and thundering)

(eerie silence and footsteps)

(slow eerie music)

(Fitz whistling)

(ominous music)

- Ah, back to business.

(faster tempo sinister music)

Perfect timing.

(faster tempo sinister music)

Switching

to bathroom camera.

Oh, Annie darling.

If you're anything like Lex was,

you're gonna make me a fortune.

- [Ivan] Yes?

- Ivan.

It's me, Fitz.

- [Ivan] What is it?

- I've got a new tenant for the apartment.

- [Ivan] A woman?

- Of course.

- [Ivan] For your sake, I hope she's as

energetic as the last one.

- You look familiar Annie.

Have we met before?

- Not that I can remember?

- So what made you decide to call me?

- Do you investigate ghosts?

- Have you seen one?

- Not exactly, but uhm

have a look at this.

(glass breaking)

- Is that it?

- Did you see it?

The glass flew from here to there and smashed.

Is that not a sign of a ghost or poltergeist or something?

- Oh Annie, if I had a dollar for every time

I'd seen a moving piece of house-ware.

It could be caused by anything.

Magnetic fields.

Earth tremors.

Telekinesis even.

- What's that?

- It's using the power of the mind to move objects.

I did a study on it a few years ago.

I believe it is a latent ability in all of us.

Fascinating, but not supernatural.

- So what would prove whether or not I have a ghost.

- Have you experienced anything else

strange since moving in.

- I'm not sure.

Sometimes I feel...

- What?

- I don't know, sort of a presence.

- Do you know anything about the previous

occupants of the apartment?

- No, nothing.

- That would be my starting point.

If someone who lived here before died a tragic death,

or died in the apartment,

that would give credence to the idea of a haunting.

Why don't you see what you can find out.

(phone ringing)

(phone ringing)

- Fitz.

- [Ivan] Fitz, Fitz, where are they?

- Yeah Ivan, I'm just packaging them up now.

I'll get an overnight courier and courier them off to you.

That would be alright wouldn't it?

- [Ivan] Look it, you have one more day.

If I don't get the new tapes tomorrow,

you know what will happen.

First time, you meet my brother Olaf.

He take your fingernails.

Second time you meet him, he take your fingers.

Third time you meet him, he take your hands.

You don't want to meet him a fourth time.

(dead phone line beeping)

(phone hanging up)

(mumbling foreign language)

(door knocking)

(gun tumbling in drawer) Come in!

Annie!

What a pleasant surprise.

Have...?

Take a seat.

What can I do for you?

(ominous suspenseful music)

- I just want to ask you something about the apartment.

- The apartment, uh, what about it?

- Well actually,

I was wondering who lived there before me.

- Yeah.

Uhm, it was a young woman about (stammering) your age.

Uhm, her name was Lex, I think.

Blonde girl, very (stammering) sociable.

- What do you mean?

- Oh well (laughing).

Always had a lot of friends, you know.

Bringing them back to the apartment you know.

Men.

Women.

All sorts really.

- Bringing them to the apartment?

What for?

- Well, I wouldn't know.

Can's see through walls, can I?

- Wow, what happened to her?

- Well, I really don't know Annie.

One day she just wasn't there anymore.

Owed me a month's rent as well.

I had to put the apartment back onto the market

to cover my losses and then voila you came along.

- [Evie] Annie, it's late.

Did something happen?

- I saw something.

- [Evie] What, another flying cup?

- No, I really saw something.

- [Evie] Ok Annie, I'll come over tomorrow

with some equipment and we'll see if we can capture

this thing on film.

Goodnight Annie.

(a woman screaming)

- Ok Annie, this will capture

everything that happens during the day.

All you have to do is go about your business as usual.

Did you manage to find out anything

about the previous tenants?

- Only that it was a blonde girl called Lex.

- What happened to her?

- The landlord said she just disappeared.

- Disappeared?

Intriguing.

Feeling tired?

- Yeah, I didn't sleep well.

You may as well go back to bed.

Have a nap or something.

Ghosts have a habit of not showing up

when a video camera's pointing at them.

There's no need to be afraid of all this Annie.

The chances of it being an actual

verifiable haunting are miniscule.

- Look, I'm sorry that your husband

ran off with his hairdresser,

but that really isn't my concern Mrs. Brady.

My concern is getting the rent paid.

- I don't know what you want me to do.

I don't get paid 'til next month.

- Well, that's not my problem is it Mrs. Brady, hmm?

- What can I do?

- Well, I'm sure that we can come to a

mutually satisfactory arrangement.

It's a

getting quite warm in here isn't it.

Uhm...

Would you be more comfortable without that sweater on?

(phone ringing) That's twice! Not again!

This is Fitz!

- [Ivan] Fitz, what the hell is this!?

I'm looking at a girl asleep

in a bed for four fucking hours.

- Well she's in the bed, what more do you want?

- [Ivan] I want to see sex Fitz.

That is what my customers pay for.

Real sex on hidden camera.

I want the blonde girl back.

I want Lex.

- (stammering) Well I can't. I don't know where she went.

- [Ivan] Every tape of her was sex, sex, sex.

Sex with the man.

Sex with girls.

Sex with everybody.

- No, no, look, we just had a lucky break with--

You can't expect every tenant to be like her.

I mean, she's a professional.

- [Ivan] I want action Fitz.

If you send me one more bloody boring tape,

I'm going to send Olaf to pay you a visit.

- Oh God.

(dead phone line beeping)

Oh, have a rent free month.

Now just get out!

(door knocking)

- [Evie] Annie!?

(door knocking)

Annie, are you home? It's Evie.

So, did anything happen today?

- Yes, but...

- What?

- I don't there will be anything on the video.

- Why?

- It never happens in here.

It happens in the bathroom.

Or

the bedroom.

- Interesting.

Haunting's can be very specifically located.

Maybe the tragic incident happened in the bedroom

or the bathroom, or both.

It...

She...

She comes to me when I'm on the bed.

I can feel her hands all over me.

Today she tried to undress me.

- Oh my god.

It's a succubus.

- It's a what?

- A succubus.

I've never even heard of one of those

being reported in modern times.

It's a ghost that seduces the living.

- What for?

- Usually there's a task they want to carry out.

Something that was very important to them

when they were alive.

Or it's an act of vengeance

on whoever caused their death.

Either way don't have enough physical presence

as a ghost to carry out the task

So they possess the body of a living person.

Annie, do you have any idea how exciting this is?

If I could get this to appear on video tape,

it would be the first time in the world, anywhere.

Annie!

Would you let me put the camera in your bedroom tonight?

I could stay in this room.

Look, I've got the cables here.

I could connect the camera to the TV

and monitor you without disturbing you at all.

- I don't know.

- Look Annie.

Like I said before, probably nothing will happen.

Video cameras are practically

an insurance policy against being haunted.

In 12 years, I've never caught a ghost on camera.

Please, give me this chance.

(rain falling)

- [Ivan] First time you meet my brother Olaf,

he take your fingernails.

Second time you meet him, he take your fingers.

Third time you meet him, he take your hands.

You don't want to meet him a fourth time.

(phone ringing)

(phone ringing)

- Hello?

- Annie?

This is Fitz.

I uh, Mr. Fitz, your landlord.

- What is it?

- Well I'm just checking to see that

you're happy with the apartment.

Uhm, I, I like to take a satisfaction survey.

- Can we do this some other time?

I'm about to just get into bed.

- (stammering) Really?

- And there's someone here with me.

- Really?

Well I won't keep you.

Have a lovely night.

Yes, action at last.

- Listen, if there really is a ghost,

and it really is a succubus,

you need to be open to it.

You need to let it in.

It's the only way we'll ever find out what it wants.

- Will you stay awake?

- Don't worry, I've got lots of work to catch up on.

That'll definitely keep my mind occupied.

You'll be fine.

(sighing)

(ominous music)

- What?

What she talking about?

There's nobody with her!

Oh, oh, damn it!

(suspenseful music)

(raining and thunder)

(exasperated sigh)

(music turns more intense)

(phone ringing)

- [Ivan] Yes? - Ivan it's me, Fitz.

I've got great news.

- [Ivan] What is it?

Another tape of somebody sleeping.

- No, no, no, I've got some tape of the blonde girl Lex.

- [Ivan] I thought you said she disappeared.

- Yeah (stammering) she did.

Uhm, these are tapes that I musta forgotten about.

They'd been the last ones before she vanished.

I was so busy putting the place back on the market,

I musta forgotten to have a look at them.

- [Ivan] Well, are they good.

- Well, I haven't check them yet.

Hang on.

(fast suspenseful music)

Well, hang on, it's like it's girl on girl action.

What?

Annie?!

(music becomes intense and ominous)

Jesus Christ.

- Oh my god.

(electric static)

(continuous rumbling)

(long heavy breath)

(continuous rumbling)

(long heavy breath)

(ethereal music)

(long heavy breath)

(continuous rumbling)

- What the--?!

(heart beat getting louder)

- [Evie] Annie!

Annie!

Annie, listen to me.

It's you Annie.

You're making this happen.

There's no ghost.

It's your telekinetic power that made the cups break.

Annie! Make it stop!

Annie, two years ago you applied to take part

of my study on telekinesis.

You have amazing powers.

The power to do all this.

But I turned you down because you were unstable.

Delusional.

This ghost is a delusion Annie.

You're subconsciously using your

telekinesis to make it seem real.

Annie, Annie!?

(continuous rumbling)

(ethereal music)

- She's here.

(continuous rumbling)

(angelic music)

(thundering)

(ominous music and rumbling)

- Annie?

- She's here.

She's inside me.

- It's your telekinetic powers.

There's no ghost in you.

For some reason, you want to believe in this ghost.

This Lex.

But it's not true.

Think about it Annie.

Why do you want to believe in this ghost?

This Lex seducing you?

- Because she's the one that killed Lex.

Don't you come any closer you crazy bitch.

You killed her didn't you.

And you chopped her up in the bathroom.

I saw you on the video.

- [Evie] Is this true Annie?

(dramatic ethereal music)

- I thought she loved me.

She demanded money.

I asked her why.

She said all her clients have to pay.

- You didn't even know she was a whore?

Wasn't it obvious?

- I thought she loved me.

I was so angry I didn't know what I was doing.

- You're a fucking lunatic.

You fell in love with a hooker.

And then you strangled her.

- Shut up!

- Then you chopped her up into little pieces.

- Shut up!

No!

- Annie, calm down.

Calm down Annie.

(chuckling maniacally)

(gun shot)

(screaming)

(screaming)

- God's sake.

Be quiet.

I don't know what the hell to make of all this.

So according to your version of events.

You're innocent of the death of Evie Nightingale

because she was accidentally shot by Fitz.

Your innocent of the death of Fitz

because a ghost used her supernatural powers

to make a knife fly through the air and stab him.

But you are guilty of the death of the former tenant, Lex.

- I don't remember doing that.

- Well unfortunately any video evidence we may have had

was destroyed in the fire that night.

- So there's no evidence that I did anything wrong at all.

- Technically,

no.

- So you have to let me go.

- No.

Life is not simple Annie.

You see,

people whose alibi's consist of

"A ghost made me do it."

are not the kind of people we want

wandering about in our community.

Now I don't know if Nightingale was right

about that so called telekinesis.

Or whether you simply picked up an item

and plunged it into Fitz's heart.

One thing I do know,

you are guilty as hell.

- Shut up!

- Come on Annie.

You described things you could never have seen.

Contradicted yourself over and over again.

And you blamed everything on a ghost

that nobody's ever seen.

And was never captured on film.

- She doesn't want to hear this.

- Who doesn't?

- Lex!

She's in me.

- She's inside you is she?

Well why doesn't she show herself?

- Don't make her angry.

You wouldn't like her when she's angry.

- Is that a threat Annie?

I'll show you a threat.

One word from me,

they'll lock you up in here and throw away the keys.

How would you like daily electric shock therapy

for the next 30 years?

(ominous music)

Annie?

Annie?

(continuous rumbling)

Annie.

Annie stop this.

(ominous music intensifies)

- [Det. Locke] No!

(thundering)

(suspenseful music)
