Wake Wood Page #6

She's fine. She's our little girl.

For one more day.

[Whispering]

[Flies buzzing]

Alice, wait here.

Patrick?

Oh, my God.

I don't understand.

Why would they do this to Howie?

- Are we so sure that it was them?

- What are you saying?

Alice.

Show me your hands.

- Is this a game?

- Yeah, it's a game.

Alice, show me your hands.

[Knocking]

Alice, go to your room and play.

[Alice] Why?

- Louise.

- [Patrick] Go upstairs.

This is Alice's last day.

Today you must be strong for her.

But she'll want to go herself.

You won't have to persuade her.

Here's something for her to wear

around her neck.

We call it a clutch.

You'll find it gives her comfort.

Sure.

If she becomes agitated,

you can fasten it about her wrists.

Mary, I need

to talk to my husband for a sec.

I can't do this. I'm not ready. I can't.

We could run.

- [Patrick] This is all wrong.

- [Phone rings]

Hello?

Yeah, look, I'll come tomorrow.

OK, 20 minutes.

- No.

- I've got to.

You want them all here again,

banging their sticks?

You just keep her away from Alice.

[Mary] I'll come back before midnight

and we'll go to the woods.

[Hushed voices]

Alice?

[Hushed voices]

[Sobbing]

Hey.

Whers the baby coming?

What?

[Louise] Alice?

Where are you?

- [Man] Anything you can do?

- We can put him out of his misery.

[Man] Injection, is it?

No, he's too big.

Alice. Alice! Baby...

Alice! Alice!

[Shot echoes]

[Thunder]

It's time to go to the woods.

[Radio static]

Interesting.

[Doorbell rings]

[Knocking]

[Mutters]

Arthur.

[Arthur] Get out of this house.

Don't look at her.

Ben, don't look at her.

Look away.

Don't look at her. Look away. Ben!

Go back to the trees

and lie among the roots.

Go back to the trees

and lie among the roots.

Go back to the trees

and lie among the roots.

Back to the trees

and lie among the roots!

[Alice] I'll see you later.

Now...

That won't work on me.

Alice?

Patrick, is Alice here? Is she with you?

Listen, I think

Alice has done something...

- Listen to me.

- No, you listen to me, Louise.

Patrick, I'm pregnant.

No, you're not.

- No, you can't be. That's impossible.

- I know, but I am.

Alice found out.

I... I mean, she already knew.

I've looked everywhere for her.

I thought maybe she'd come here.

Yeah, yeah, I think she did come here.

Come and look.

Oh, my...

Where would she have gone?

Home, sooner or later.

What the hell have we done?

[Clunking]

- What's wrong with it?

- I don't know.

There's some stuff on the road.

[Louise] Oh, my God.

Oh!

[Patrick] Get in.

[Alice] Mum!

Alice?

- You were going to leave me.

- We didn't know where you were.

I'm right here.
