Nails Page #5

Synopsis: Dana Milgrom (Shauna Macdonald) is a track coach and mother who's survived a near-death car accident, only to find herself paralyzed and trapped inside her own body. Forced to communicate via an artificial voice program and hooked to a breathing machine, she becomes convinced that a terrifying presence called Nails exists inside her hospital room. No one believes her - not even her own husband, who think she's experiencing a mental breakdown. As her marriage disintegrates and her grip on reality starts to shred, Dana fights to convince the doctors and staff that Nails is real and intent on destroying her.

- Yes.

Steve said you were

helping with Gemma.

- Oh, wow, is that...

Does that thing talk for you?

Er, I'm sorry to interrupt

your mother-daughter time.

It's just I've heard so much

about you from Steve.

He says you're

an incredible coach.

I can't wait for you

to coach me.

- Bye, mom.

Love you.

- Bye.

- Ellie?

Ellie, can you hear me?

I want to talk to you.

- It's okay.

It's me.

It's Trevor.

It's okay.

You're gonna be okay.

You're gonna be okay.

- Here, let me do it.

- No.

I have to do it myself.

There.

You see him?

You see?

- I'm sorry, honey, but...

what am I supposed to be seeing?

- It's, it's there.

Nails.

Eric Nilsson.

That horrible thing.

Why can't you see him?

- I wish I could see something.

Anything.

All I can see is

Trevor running in.

- Listen, it's gonna be okay.

Look...

I'll go and talk to Trevor.

Maybe he did see something.

- Trevor is my friend.

He's the only one I can trust.

- I'm glad you feel

you can trust him.

- He saved my life.

- Great.

What a guy.

You know, I'm not sure

these cameras

were such a good idea.

- What do you mean?

- They're just

reinforcing your fears.

- No, they're my

only protection.

- They're just

making you paranoid.

- No.

No, please.

Please don't take

them away, Steve.

Please.

Steve.

Steve!

- Maybe you should go and

keep your mother company.

I don't know what to think.

She's absolutely certain

there's something

in the surveillance video.

- You hear the knocking sound?

- A knocking sound?

Yeah, maybe there's

some kind of noise.

- Ellie.

Next door.

She tried to wake me up.

She tried to warn me.

She knows...

All about nails.

You go and ask her.

She'll tell you.

- Okay.

I'll talk to her.

- We have many other

patients at this facility...

And none of them

are reporting people

creeping into their rooms.

Only your wife.

- It's not uncommon for

patients who've suffered

severe brain injury

to have paranoid visions.

- Oh yeah?

Well, it's only after

she came here to recover

that she started seeing things.

- Hello?

Ellie?

My name is Gemma Milgrom.

My mother Dana

is in the room next door.

My mom...

She said you were knocking

on the wall.

Trying to warn her

about something.

She thinks there's

something trying to hurt her.

A nurse who used to work here

named Eric Nilsson.

I'm sorry.

- Dad.

- Gemma, what were

you doing in there?

- That woman.

She had some kind of attack.

- Right.

No-one's getting

in or out of there.

No way, no how.

- It's no good.

Won't help.

- Sure it will.

You'd need a fire axe

to get through there.

- It's not a person.

It's an evil thing.

- Come on now.

- Trevor, you saw it.

I know you saw it.
