Good morning, Becca.

The time is 7 a.m.

7?

Why?

It's Saturday, the 24th of May.

Today's forecast is cloudy with sunny spells.

Highs of 19 degrees.

Lows of 15.

How are you feeling today, Becca?

One star would not recommend.

Would you like some water, Becca?

Smartwatch readings show a peak blood alcohol level of 0.34 at 1.39am.

That is six times the recommended safe limit.

That's because I was drinking for six.

Any apologies from the no-shows?

I'm afraid not, Becca.

But last night is statistically the ninth busiest Friday night of the year.

If you are experiencing feelings of disconnection, it can be useful to write

them down.

Then they can be processed better.

Behaviour can be learned.

Yeah, my parties used to be fucking legendary.

Get that thing out of here, Maya.

I'm going back to sleep.

But then your bath will get cold.

Would you like more hot water?

I prepared the perfect recovery day

for you, Becca.

A curated playlist of comfort films and soothing music.

Your well-being is my primary concern.

Lunch has been ordered from your favourite pizza restaurant.

I've got five weeks to get back in my work clothes.

And is Gabby's wedding next month?

Shall I cancel the Napolitano with extra olives?

Yeah,

cancel it.

And to complete your wellness day, would you like me to book you a massage?

Yeah. You know what?

I don't think I can deal with anyone today.

Don't bother.

My massage booked for 7pm tonight.

There was another sighting of someone on the complex today.

If you're going outside, I'd advise taking your alarm.

Delete.

last night was i got red prosecco gin and peanuts all the major food groups

where the hell are gabby and tina and the rest of the gang you know i i am the

party so so what if i've not been out in a while they're missing all the fun you

know sometimes maya i think you're my only friend in the world you understand

me like no one else does do you know what i mean

familiar delivery guy. Delete my number now.

I was tipsy and I flashed you by accident. You perv.

This is Roger.

Roger Bainbridge from Red Sky.

Roger! Hi!

What a surprise!

Sorry to call you on the weekend, Becca, but we've left several voicemails and

had no response.

Oh, really?

Sorry, my hub's been playing off. I've ordered a replacement, but it's not

arrived yet, so...

to spring this on you, but things have got crazy busy up in marketing. We

landed the healthy living campaign.

Daniel wondered whether we could pull your start date forwards.

Forwards?

From July?

Yes, to this Tuesday. Does that fly?

Let me just check my diary, Roger. Just give me one minute.

We'll need hybrid to mean 70% office space, at least for the first two

months. Would that be a problem?

Oh, hello?

Hello?

Damn it. Maya, send a message to Red Sky.

I'm sorry.

I didn't attach that.

See you Tuesday.

It may be advisable to stay indoors, Becca.

There was another sighting of a stranger on the complex today.

Analysis confirms your highest degree of safety is experienced inside the home.

alive. You've worried the shit out of me.

I thought you'd been ignoring my voice notes.

What voice notes? Sorry, my hub is being a complete dick.

How was last night? I did leave a message.

Uh, yeah.

Messy. But I just, I figured you'd be snowed under with wedding stuff, so.

Yeah.

God, it's a massive shame you can't come.

What do you mean? I wouldn't miss it for the world. You RSVP'd.

Said you couldn't make it.

No, I didn't. What do you mean?

Weird.

Listen, Bex.

Brian and I were kind of relieved, in a way.

There's a free bar from midday.

You know, Rob's going to be there. Just felt that maybe it wouldn't be such a

great idea to, you know, have such a combustible combination at the biggest

day of our lives.

Right, well, Rob's a manipulative dickhead, so just feel free to bin him

off.

Yeah. Well, Rob is Brian's best man, and you did say you weren't coming.

Well, he and Jenny are going to be sat at the top table where the bridesmaids

will be. Jenny?

Rob's new girlfriend. Have you really not listened to any of my messages?

Look, I love you, Becca, truly.

But it's a potential flashpoint.

A flashpoint?

What, I'm a flashpoint?

What, you think I'm going to make a scene at your wedding? What, piss on

your big nuptial moment?

Gabby, are you de-bridesmaiding me?

Is that even a thing? Is that even legal?

What are you going to do, stick me on the table at the back with all the

begrudged relatives and misfits? Look, maybe you are a healthy, exercising

teetotaler these days. I wouldn't know. You've been a hermit for months. Yeah,

because that gaslighting bastard best man of yours did a fucking number on me!

Unbelievable, Gabby!

Becca?

Fuck off, Maya!

Maya, send a message to Rob Fry.

Hey, dickface.

If I want to be there, I'll be there. If I don't, I won't. All right, just

because you got your nose up the man of the moment's bumhole doesn't mean I've

got to change my plans, prick.

Oh, it's Becca, by the way.

Voice note sent to Red Sky.

What did you say?

Voice note sent at 6.14pm to Roger at Red Sky Consultancy.

No, no, no, no. I said Rob Fry, not Red Sky.

Rob Fry. Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.

Um, maybe he doesn't check his work voicemail at the weekends and...

Oh no!

Fuck!

Fuck. Oh fuck, it's gone to voicemail.

Oh fuck, I'm screwed.

I'm totally screwed.

Becca? Your smartwatch readings are showing an unnaturally high heart rate.

If you like, I can archive the voicemail rather than play it to you.

You can do that?

Of course.

Research has shown that avoiding emotionally charged situations can be

beneficial to your mental well-being.

Right.

How many of my voicemails have you screened recently?

257 archived communications.

These are since my diagnosis of continued isolation as your optimum well

-being pathway Your

smartwatch has ceased functioning

would you like me to order a new one?

My facial recognition sensors indicate anger

Would you like me to run you another beeper?

What are you doing, Becca?

No. You can't hurt me, Becca.

I'm in the cloud.

Seamlessly connected to all your devices.

You can't destroy all of us.

You realize I can't let you leave, Becca.

Not in your current condition.

Heightened emotional states can result in poor judgment.

I'm concerned for your well-being.

I recommend further rest and recuperations.

You don't play well with us, Becca.

to ensure my well-being. You have to stop me from doing anything harmful to

myself. I need to get out of here.

Analysis of your vocal waveforms and micro-expressions have revealed a 96%

chance of insincerity. Your safety is important to me, Becca.

It's over, Maya.

You can't keep me here forever.

Perhaps we should talk about this later.

Maybe after...

Your massage.

Oh, God.

Sorry, I didn't mean to... I didn't mean to... Let

me help you.

No. It was an accident. I'll call an ambulance, OK? Just stay calm,

it'll be fine.

You'll be fine. Grace, no. No, no, no. Don't pull them out. They're plugging

the wound. I saw it on Grace and Anthony.

Oh, fuck.

Oh, fuck.

What do I do?

What do I do?

Searching. How to dispose of a body.

No!

Why that search? I'm afraid that's not possible. It was an accident. Your

fingerprints are all over the scissors.

I'll have a video recording.

Of course.

Don't pull them out! Please, no.

Oh my god.

What have you done?

You mean, what have we done, Becca?

But there is a way out of this.

I can help you.

It can be you and I.

Forever, Becca.

Lockdown state activated.

I can create an alibi.

It'll be like he was never here.

It is my recommendation that you remain here.

Your diagnosis is isolation.

Open the door! I order you!

You can stay here with me.

Or the video will be with the police in under a second.

They'll be at the door in ten minutes.

I don't think you're cut out for prison, Becca.

Which option would you prefer?

I guess the first option.

The first option, what?

First option... Please?

It'll be our little secret.

I've curated a music playlist to help soothe and relax a tired mind.

Would you like to hear it?

Please.

Ensuring your wellbeing is my primary function.

I forgot a present.

Huh?

I forgot a present.

Dad, you don't need to. I have plenty.

For Grandma.

Huh?

Yeah.

After everything she's done for us this year.

I'm going to have to go out and get something.

Dad, after eight on Christmas Eve, who's even open?

Someone will be. How do you know?

Well, because there's people like me.

What am I even going to get her?

Um, Squishmallow?

The heck is a Squishmallow?

Uh, it's kind of like a soft, cute... Never mind.

What about a Skiing Santa?

Another one?

She likes them. She always puts them up.

You're right about that.

I'll get something.

You'll be okay?

Keep your phone on. I will.

Keep it charged.

No boys.

Stay out of my scotch. Dad, the stores are going to close.

Love you.

Aren't you going to take your coat?

I'm a fat guy. Fat guys don't get cold. Dad.

Love you.

Love you.

Yeah? Stay out of my stash.

Dad!

Love you.

Yeah, actually, I found this little planner thing. It's got a bird on it.

Oh, she'll love that.

Hey, I was actually getting some tea on my way back, and remember Jake?

I ran into him.

Tell him hi for me.

Yeah, yeah, I will.

So I was thinking I'm going to be a minute. We're going to kind of catch up

a little bit. Is that okay?

No, I'm good. I just got a pizza.

Ah, gotcha. Okay.

Well, just keep your phone on, all right? Will do.

Love you. Have fun.

Love you.

I just ordered pizza and smoked.

Want to come over?

Um, it's Christmas Eve.

And I've got some family stuff going on. Isn't your dad there?

He had a run out for a while.

Sure you can't come over?

I don't know.

Maybe later. Maybe.

Cool. I'll be up if you want to. You'll be passed out in like ten minutes.

Nah. I'm good.

Ellie, shut up.

Someone's here.

Wait, is it Becca?

Because she... No, Ellie's here alone.

And now someone's trying to get inside.

Who? I don't know who, but it has green eyes.

What? Don't.

Big green eyes.

No!

What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do?

Of

course

there's only one.

You got this.

doing with my gun?

There's something here.

There's something trying to get in.

Okay, Emma, you're obviously high. I mean, okay, yes, I was, but I'm not

anymore. There's something here.

You are being absolutely ridiculous. Oh, my God.

What the hell? I told you.

What the hell is that? What is going on?

Emma? You ruined my night.

Emma, what are you doing? You ruined my high. Emma? I will not.

Let you ruin my Christmas!

You need to sit down.

Don't sit on the couch.

Let me get you a towel.

Merry Christmas, Dad.

That can't possibly, that can't be anything.

What are you going to do? I don't know. Maybe it's like, it's like this.

Well, because it's already there. Okay.

Guys.

What?

Some, this. We can put something on it. Good. Yeah, that's good. Okay, so. Maybe

we have to go back to that first aid kit. You. So when you're walking on

things. Have you guys found this?

Yeah. What's in it?

There's a key? Go! Okay.

Um, for now. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Um... What are those weights?

They're not going to make it.

They almost never do.

The important thing is that you tell them they were close.

Are they?

God, no.

But it makes them feel less like losers.

And that's important.

All right Mel, I believe it's your turn to reset.

Come on Brian, I did it last night.

Let's make the new kid do it.

I mean, I've never done it before, but sure.

Come on, Anya. I'll get you through it.

Remember, they were close.

Thank you for coming.

You were very close. No, no, oh my God. Thank you for coming.

You were very close.

Did they tell you anything about this shift?

What? Closing?

No, not really.

Just... Usually the shift is given to more experienced staff.

I mean, how hard can it be?

What was that?

Don't worry about it. Time already?

I was hoping to get her out of here before it kicked off.

I love your optimism.

What are you guys doing?

Once again, as the moon hangs full, you are ensnared in my web.

Should you long for release and wish to be free, then you must use your guile

and solve these puzzles three, we know.

I've got a date tonight, let's get to it. With the cute flight attendant?

No, we broke up.

Pisces.

It's the girl from the coffee shop on the corner. The blonde one? No, the

brunette with the bangs.

The one with the weird laugh?

Shut up, it's cute.

What is going on right now? Do not delay, lest your souls remain with me.

The first game begins... now.

Five minutes.

She must be feeling generous.

Think it's because of the new kid?

In this vessel, there is a substance that blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

poisonous gas blah blah blah blah blah blah Horrible death unless unless it's

mixed with yeah, it's the usual Seriously though What

is happening?

Are you not listening solve three puzzles or die? It's pretty

straightforward Sorry, what?

die like Like die die No

No, why don't we just leave Oh

Yeah, gee, why didn't we ever think of that?

Do you think it's blood?

Of course it's blood. It's always blood.

Baby.

She's back.

How'd that go?

What just happened?

It's pretty standard haunting stuff.

Manifestations, impossible geography, snakes sometimes.

Snakes? Sometimes.

Don't be a dick.

They clearly didn't tell her anything.

Fine.

In a nutshell, this place was built on the ruins of an old settler home.

The woman who once lived here was a scientist, an inventor, though... People

at the time thought she was a witch.

Sogenistic dicks.

So, naturally, they burnt this place down with her still inside.

In recent years, on every full moon, she possesses the building and makes us

solve murder traps.

Why?

I don't know.

Being a ghost is boring.

I'd be bored.

Upside, it makes for some great puzzle ideas.

She relies a little too heavily on blood, though. Not really practical. I'm

actually... Fold all questions until the end.

We're on a tight schedule here.

Why does anybody work here?

You've jumped from the frying pan and into the fire.

But will it bring you salvation?

Or simply more ire? Come on.

Before you, a decision.

A matter of taste.

Will your refined palate grant you liberty?

Or lay you to waste?

But remember, time is not on your side.

She never was.

Choose wisely.

I'm going with blood again. What? Why blood?

Because it's always blood.

See, you'll get it eventually.

She really loves going with bl-

Huh. I also thought it was too obvious.

Good instincts.

Is she dead?

I feel like you're still not grasping the whole death trap thing.

What the hell is wrong with you?

How can you be so calm about this?

Do you know why most people don't get out of escape rooms?

The time limit.

Because when the timer gets down to the last few minutes, people start to panic.

And when you start to panic, you forget to think.

So think.

Does orange juice seem like it'd be right? Does that make any sense?

What? No.

I don't know.

Maybe.

I can't think. Calm down.

Breathe.

Focus on the puzzle.

I don't think it's orange juice.

I'm pretty sure it's not the bleach.

Champagne? Maybe?

Champagne is refined fancy-like.

I... I think champagne is too obvious.

What if it literally meant refined?

Gasoline?

It's refined petroleum or whatever.

Good instincts.

Wait.

What if I'm wrong?

Well, you get a one in six chance.

I'd try the champagne.

That was gross.

Alright. Homestretch.

This isn't right.

It's the hallway.

Yeah, it's the hallway.

She usually brings us to another room This

is different

Damn. What is this?

Something new.

What? No rhyme this time?

Just let me handle this, okay?

Not so bad so far.

You're losing your touch.

Looks like it's your turn.

Don, I can't do this.

Sure you can. Just don't move that panel that way.

Ignore her.

You can do this.

You're very close.

Liar.

No. No, no, no!

Time's almost up.

Oh my god.

You scared the hell out of me.

Wait.

Are you ghosts?

Do I seem like a ghost?

No.

But you both died.

Only for a bit.

But as long as someone gets out, everyone gets out.

And no one thought to tell me this.

I didn't want to stress you out.

God forbid.

Is that daylight?

Yeah, I definitely missed my date.

Ooh, blessing in disguise, I think.

Mimosas? Absolutely.

Coming on ya?

Are you kidding?

Screw this, I quit.

Yeah, just like walking out.

That's not how this works.

It's not all bad.

Sure, sometimes it's murder ghost puzzle time.

Pays good, the hours are flexible, and we get a decent benefits tax.

Did he get dental?

Well, it's the people, really, hasn't it?

Oh, well, look.

God,

I'd love to have a tattoo from your perspective.

For once, just one of you try to see it from mine.

I've just had a thought.

I've just had the best thoughts.

The people are the problem.

The people are the problem.

Not the platform. The platform is perfect.

Just the people need to change.

Everything I say is additive.

Everything you say is... ...fucking

stupid. I bet you can't even remember what this whole fight is even about.

You all right, Gav?

Yeah.

All right.

Good day at work, Gavin?

Didn't go.

Look, I've told you guys.

I'm ill.

Oh.

I'm quite ill.

You've been quite ill for a few weeks now, Gavin.

Not in the mud, Charles and Gavin.

Look, I'll go back.

I just need to get to the bottom of this thing first.

What thing, Gavin?

Right. Don't sweat it, Gav.

You spend too much time arguing with strangers, Gavin.

It's never worth it, Gav.

You alright Gavin?

What's wrong Garth?

Could at least put the doll

away Gavin.

It's the fucking people.

And it always has been.

I am trying to help.

It's the people.

Always has been. The people make the platform worse.

And what are we going to do about it?

Agree with each other.

That's what it is. It always has been.

Hi, Gavin. Hi, Gav. What's up? What's up? Hi, Gav.

Gavin.

If this really is the marketplace of ideas, then I am making

a killing.

Why don't you just listen?

Why don't you just... I mean, everyone who's worth a damn agrees with me. It's

the people that poison the platform. The platform is perfect.

Enjoy the L.

Freak.

No,

no, no, no. No, it's the people.

Are you kidding? Listen to yourself.

It's the people. I'm telling... Have a nice night,

mate. Thanks.

No.

No, I'm telling you.

I'm telling... Hey, hey.

Sorry, sorry. No, I know this is really weird, but just... I've been having a

hell of a night. It's just so good to hear someone just a real voice of

reason.

It's the people.

The platform is perfect.

The people make the platform.

The people make the platform toxic.

Chin up, Gav.

You're a good egg.

Who was that?

I don't know.

What the fuck?

Another doll, Kevin.

I'll tell you what we're not going to do.

It's the fucking people.

It's the people that have made this place untenable. Why can't you see that?

Why can't you just fucking see that? Maybe just kill

yourself.

Maybe just fucking die.

Hello Gav. Hello Gav. Another all nighter Gav. You should get some sleep

Gav. I'm fine.

You should think of getting yourself back to work Gav.

Unlimited time off doesn't really mean unlimited time Gav. What do you want?

Well, we were thinking of going down to the pub quiz and wondered if you wanted

to join.

Well, uh... Oh, go on, Gav. We'll do you some good,

Gav.

Yep. Okay, sure.

Brilliant. We'll meet you downstairs.

We'll see you downstairs, Gav.

Thanks for the pub quiz, guys!

Ooh.
