- Good.

Get to work.

- Two sugars, no milk.

- I switched to Sweet'N Low.

- Are you gonna knock it,

or you gonna drink it?

- You call anyone

from the neighborhood yet?

- Yeah, I called around.

Seems like everybody moved away.

- Hmm.

People grew up.

- Things ain't what

they used to be, right?

- Did you think everything

would be the same?

- I was hoping

some things would be.

- Bobby-

- I know you got questions.

- No, no,

I don't have questions.

I had questions,

had questions for the past

few years.

I stopped asking them

when you stopped writing.

I didn't know if you were alive

or coming back.

Why on Earth

would you just cut me off?

- I thought I was

doing it for you.

- For me?

- Nothing that happened in there

was anything that we could have

talked about.

- So what did you think

was going to happen here?

You show up out of thin air,

bring me coffee,

and I forgive you?

- You don't think people deserve

a second chance?

- Bobby.

- You want to come by

the apartment some time?

- Maybe.

- I'll take maybe.

- Maybe.

I got to go.

- Can I help you?

- No.

- What are you doing?

- Are they coming from you?

The sounds, is that you?

Maybe the woman?

- What did you say?

- [stammering]

There's a woman who lives here.

I've seen her at your-

- You don't know anything

about who lives here, man.

- You hear them.

Don't you?

[locks clicking]

[water trickling]

[muffled clattering]

[muffled scraping]

- Ah!

[distant creaking noises]

[hatch slams open]

[wind howling]

- What?

Am I the bad guy here?

- No, no, no, no,

I didn't say that.

I didn't say it.

- Well, what the hell are you

doing there?

- I wasn't doing anything.

- I don't want to catch you

by that door again.

Do you understand?

Understand?

Do you understand me?

Do you understand?

- You're hurting me!

[smacking]

[woman screaming]

- There you go!

Don't you ever do that-

[door slams]

[footsteps approaching]

[distant clanging]

[door creaking]

[woman coughing]

- Oh.

[coughing]

Ew.

[sniffles]

[coughing]

[crashing]

[whirring]

- Listen.

Shh, shh.

Do you hear it?

[labored breathing]

[gasping]

No, no.

It's not in my head.

Bobby.

Bobby, where are you?

Bobby.

Bobby, why aren't you here?

Oh, it's happening again.

Shh, shh.

They're after me.

I'm not crazy.

I'm not crazy.

You hear them, don't you?

[tape whirring]

You hear them, don't you?

Oh, no.

No!

[screaming]

[knocking at door]

[screaming]

[gasping]

[gagging]

[pounding on door]

- [muttering in Russian]

- Going to the lobby?

- [muttering in Russian]

[door clicks]

[distant footsteps]

Hello?

[woman whimpers]

[machine starts and rattles]

[woman screams in distance]
