The Doll Under the Stairs

- The patient has been in our system

for over 30 years.

He came to us when he was young.

He suffers from multiple problems,

including nightmares about his childhood.

He has delusional thoughts

that revolve around dolls and creatures.

Something in his psyche must be discovered soon,

and the answer is there for all of us to find out.

Go take him.

Quick, before she can get him.

Run, run, run!

You should shut up at all.

Hello.

Who's there?

Hugo?

Is that you?

- At first, we were unsure

what his medical condition was.

He was later diagnosed

with paranoid delusional thought,

learning difficulties, and schizophrenia.

The medication that he has been administered

must be maintained at all times.

Otherwise, he'll have a tendency to be violent.

Hugo!

I told you not to scare me.

Hugo.

Breakfast.

There you are.

Hugo, you haven't eaten all of your breakfast?

Yes, I know, I know it's not her.

Norman.

Norman.

Norman, it's Johnny.

Your support worker for today.

Where's Julie?

Julie's on holiday.

Remember?

She explained I'd be here today.

I have your favorite ice cream,

and everything else on the list.

You better come in then.

Thank you.

Cup of tea to start, I think.

Would you like to help?

I've had breakfast.

- Are you expecting someone else?

That's Hugo's.

Who's Hugo?

My friend.

And, where is he?

Around.

Hmm.

Well done, you.

Now, would you mind doing the washing up?

I'm sure you'll do great.

And, can I just use your bathroom?

It's upstairs.

Thank you.

Johnny?

- You know he's in your room, don't you?

He's no support worker.

Who is he then?

He's here for me.

But no one knows you are here.

Go and get him.

Johnny?

Oh, sorry.

Sorry, Norman, coming.

Sorry, Norman.

Now that is a work of art.

- No, please, he doesn't like to be held.

Yes, he does.

He is awesome.

- But, please, he doesn't take to strangers.

What's his name?

Hugo, he's my best friend.

Oh.

Right.

Table setting for two.

Hugo's your friend, I get it now.

Now, I have an offer for you you cannot refuse.

I think Hugo there is worth a lot of money.

How would you like me to get him valued for you?

I have a friend who's quite the expert

when it comes to dummies.

Hugo's a doll.

- Bit old to be playing with dolls, aren't we?

Look, it's five minutes down the road.

We can be there and back before you know it.

- No, I can't leave the house, because of my condition.

I tell you what, I'll take it.

It's just down the road, I'll get-

No, no, you need to leave now.

Hugo's staying here with me.

That's fine, that's fine.

I was only trying to help, no hard feelings.

Please go.

Are you sure?

Just go!

You don't listen to me.

He's gone now.

He'll be back.

Hugo!

Hugo.

Hey.

Hey, what the hell you doing?

- S-Sorry, I haven't been out of my house in a long time.

Yeah, it looks like it, mate.

27 quid plus tip.

Hey, are you sure you okay?

You sure you want to be out here all alone?

It'll be dark soon.

Yeah, I'm fine.

- I mean, I can hang around if you need me to.

You know, there's nothing out here.

Even the junkies don't come out here.

They say it's cursed.

I need to find Hugo.

Aw, whatever.

And he leave the door open.

Go take him, quick!

Before she can get him.

Run, run, run!

Norman.

- Johnny had schizophrenia.

- Too old to be playing with dolls,

aren't we?

Norman.

We rolling, we live?

All set. Rolling.

Okay, um-

We're here, um, doing our test shoot

at an undisclosed location,

where we hope we are one step closer to the mystery

of the dolls.

Um, we're here, I'm Sarah.

We've got, um-

We've got Johnny with us, our expert.

We've got our team.

Um, we've got security.

Marco and Sam, we've got our sound guys,

and our camera guys.

Uh, so, okay.

Um, Steve, Steve, you are here.

You're the owner of the house.

He's just gonna show us, uh, where to find the tunnels

and, um, just talk us through quickly on what we might find.

So, um-

What are you expecting?

Well-

I've got some stories.

About the tunnels?

Yeah, tell us.

Would you mind, um-

Can we just get those quickly on camera

in just a couple of minutes?

Marco, can I just get the room?

- How long have you lived here mate, anyway?

- Um, well, we've, we've owned it for eight years.

Eight years?

Yeah, the site.

And the site is quite big, so.

The stories?

- So you wanna know some-

- Can you tell us about the stories?

Yeah, yeah.

Um, well-

I mean, basically, I can tell you some stories

about this place.

I know you guys are here.

I know Johnny has come up and asked me before about

the doll mystery.

I don't know much about it,

but I do know that I've been here for eight years

and as you can see, this has taken eight years to get as far

as this because every time we attempted with builders

and contractors, something happens.

- Yeah, I'll tell you what I can do you,

a good deal on builders if you want it.

You know what I mean?

I mean, eight years to get to this is quite poor really innit.

You know? - Sorry, carry on.

Well, the um, the stories are-

I mean, basically, we've had quite a lot of

accidents and strange things happening.

And in the back room, voices, that kind of thing.

All the kind of paranormal stuff.

What happened?

Well, we've had, you know,

we've had a lot of damp.

I mean, we've also had things going missing.

A lot of the contractors were annoyed

because things would disappear.

We've had deliveries come, it's cost me a lot of money.

Um, and, you know, it's, it's just that I can't-

People I can't seem to get now.

- Hey mate, this is a nice piece.

What's this from?
