- I don't understand it.

Most days I can't go more than 10 minutes

without seeing the damn thing.

- Um, look I'll see what I can do.

It's hard for me to get the agency

to call pest control without actual evidence

of a rat.

- I can understand that.

It doesn't really help me much, though.

[mouse squeaking]

- Here, I did manage to convince my boss

to let me buy some of these.

Maybe laying a few down might help.

I'll call if I can find someone to come out.

- Thank you.

- Hey there.

- Hey, oh now why do you wanna reschedule?

I was looking so forward to seeing you again.

- Yeah, I know, me too.

It's just...

[mouse squeaking]

- [Woman] What?

- Look, it's kind of embarrassing.

- Oh you are so adorable.

There is nothing to be embarrassed about.

Now, I'm sure I can help you overcome

whatever it is.

[mouse squeaking]

David?

David?

- Yeah...

Yeah of course, of course.

I'm very much looking forward to it.

- [Ellen] As do I.

See you soon.

- Ellen.

- Hi.

- I'm sorry.

Midway through preparing dinner.

- Oh.

- You look beautiful.

- Oh thank you.

You look handsome.

Are you okay?

- Oh yeah.

No, please come on in.

I'm sorry I lost track of time a little.

This way.

Please.

- [Ellen] Oh it's lovely.

- Here.

- I brought you some wine.

- Oh thank you so much. [classical piano music]

- Cute.

This is beautiful.

- Please.

- [Ellen] Oh well thank you.

Table looks so nice.

- Um hum.

All right.

- Oh, you have just thought of everything.

- And now if you'll just excuse me a moment.

I'll...

[sighing]

- It's a lovely home you have here.

- Thank you.

- Oh that looks wonderful.

Did you make all those from scratch?

- Indeed.

- Oh!

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

[mouse squeaking]

- Would you excuse me a moment?

[suspenseful music]

[classical piano music]

- David, is everything okay?

I didn't think you were coming back.

- Oh, wild animals couldn't keep me away.

- Oh what's the fuss?

- Well it's...

It's a...

I've been having a little rat problem.

I have no idea how the little bugger got in here

but I've had very little joy in resolving it.

And it's...

I'm very sorry.

It's just been quite distracting.

It's why I was asking if we could

postpone this evening,

so I could get rid of it.

But let's not think about that.

Let's focus on this.

Come on.

- Thank you.

- Tell me, you mentioned that you've

returned to study recently.

- Yes.

When I separated from my husband

and our only daughter turned 18

I was left with a lot of time on my hands.

And I'd always wanted to become...

I'm sorry, I keep talking about my ex.

- No, no, no, no, no.

Tell me about your art.

- [Ellen] Well I love to paint.

[door rattling]

- There you are.

Where are you going?

- I was looking for you, silly.

Where did you disappear to?

- Uh, shall we go back to dinner?

I've got it back under control.

- Look, I don't care about dinner.

And I don't really care about your rat problem.

Why don't we skip all that.

I saw a room back there

that looked like there was a surprise in store?

- That there certainly is.

- Lead the way.

- Come.

[mysterious music]

- No Ellen!

Ellen!

[door rattling]

- You're sick.

You're a sick, sick man.

- [David] Open up this door now!

[door rattling]

[eerie music]

Ellen!

Ellen!

Unlock this door now!
