Wake Wood Page #5

She's hardly ever ridden.

She'll be fine. She's a natural.

See that? No bother at all.

We have some tea and sandwiches

going inside. Would you like to come in?

- Alice, are you ready?

- [Mrs O'Shea] Let her finish up.

We'll come in when she's done.

She won't be long, I promise.

Alice, there's a game

you might enjoy playing.

- [Alice] What's the game?

- It's a quiz.

I ask the questions, you answer,

I keep score.

Now, Alice Daley, what is your name?

Right, I see the way it is.

Tell me, when you close your eyes

when you're tired,

what do you see,

more yellow or brown?

I see a big red shape.

Go on, have another one there, Patrick.

I think maybe we should check on Alice.

- Yeah.

- They'll be back any minute.

Let me see your hand.

And what's your date of birth?

I think I know, a little bird told me,

but if you're not more cooperative,

I don't think

you'll be riding that pony again.

Alice, are you a normal little girl?

Why would you ask me that?

- Why don't you look at me?

- I've seen enough.

- What's up, sweetie?

- I don't like that woman.

She's not right.

You've got to take her back.

- [Patrick] Alice.

- Al, wait a sec.

Alice!

Peggy knows. Let's take our chances

and get out of Wakewood.

Then we leave right now.

You go get the car.

Hey, Alice!

Mum's gonna come and pick us up, OK?

Did Mrs O'Shea frighten you?

Alice.

- Alice!

- [Screams]

Open the door!

- What happened?

- Open it!

What happened to her?

- Go back. Go back!

- Is she OK?

- What happened?

- [Patrick] We tried to leave.

What happened?

Howie, good boy!

We're trapped.

Did you hear something?

[Clunking wood]

We must put Alice back in the ground

where she belongs.

- Do it now.

- Three days. We have one day left.

- [Mrs O'Shea] We cannot delay.

- You tried to leave.

Now, wait a minute.

She made Alice very frightened.

- [Mrs O'Shea] It was necessary.

- It was cruel.

I'm disappointed.

You have to obey the rules, Patrick.

I thought I made that absolutely clear.

- Give up your last day.

- Do it now.

- [Man] Put her back, to be safe.

- You're not taking her.

- Louise, you'd better bring her now.

- You're not taking my baby.

- We want you to do this.

- Mum. Why are they here?

- It's OK.

- [Patrick] Three days, Arthur.

I'll fight you and every one of you

if I have to. Do you understand?

Patrick, we've come to talk,

and there are people here

who believe there's something amiss,

something not according to plan.

- Do you see any signs of that?

- No, I don't, none at all.

You must tell me

if you observe anything unexpected,

anything beyond what we discussed,

do you understand?

The smallest detail

could have disastrous consequences.
