Caveat

- I came to see you in hospital

after your accident, but...

you didn't know who I was.

I went looking for you when you got out,

but you were gone.

Why were you looking for me?

- I might have a few days work for you,

if you're interested.

Nothing physical.

Doing what?

Babysitting.

My brother Ed died last year.

He had a daughter, Olga.

She keeps going out to the house where he died.

The place is in the middle of nowhere...

and I don't like the idea of her being out there on her own.

She's out there now.

I've been looking for someone to go out there

and keep her company.

I'd like to send someone I know.

What do you think?

I'll give you 200 a day.

I can't imagine you'll be there for more than five days.

How did your brother die?

Suicide.

Where's her mother?

Missing.

Vanished eight months ago.

- She's your niece. Why don't you go yourself?

Honestly,

I couldn't take a week alone with her.

She's got some psychological problems.

She goes into these states, she gets confused,

but she's harmless.

So 200 a day,

just to go to the house and keep her company?

That's it.

- There's got to be more to it than that.

What's this?

Where's the house?

You didn't say anything about the house being on an island.

- Yes, I did. - No, you didn't.

- I told you the house was isolated.

You agreed to go to the house.

What difference does it make if it's surrounded by water?

I can't swim.

- Well then it's lucky we got a boat then, isn't it?

Olga, we're here.

- Is there anybody else living on the island?

Just a family of foxes.

You ever hear a fox crying?

No.

- Sounds like a teenage girl screaming.

You ever hear a teenage girl scream?

No.

Sure.

There's something I didn't mention before.

It's not really a big deal.

Olga's a little paranoid.

She doesn't like people getting too close to her physically.

And she doesn't want anybody going into her room,

especially at night.

That's fine.

What's fine?

Stay out of her room.

- Well it's not as simple as that.

She has this odd fear that she'll be attacked in her sleep.

If I could find a woman willing to go on the boat with me,

I'd hire her, but...

What's that?

- Olga's grandmother was a sleepwalker.

She used to wear this at night

to stop her walking out into the woods.

- And why are you showing it to me?

I need you to put this on.

Well the chain's long enough.

You'll be able to walk around.

It just won't let you into certain rooms, including Olga's.

- I have no interest in going into her room.

- Well she needs a little more than just your word.

Turn around, I'll strap you in.

I'm not putting that on.

- I don't see what the problem is.

It's a job. Every job has a uniform.

That's not a uniform.

That's a leash, and I'm not putting it on.

Well then we have a problem.

She'll only agree to have someone stay with her

if they wear this.

- No. - I don't like to have my time wasted.

Look.

You didn't say anything about an island.

And you sure as shit didn't say anything about wearing a leash.

If you had, I wouldn't be here.

So this is not my problem.

Come on.

What's the big deal?

See?

Some form of schizophrenia.

Catatonic stupor, Ed used to call it.

Happens when she gets excited.

She must've been looking forward to meeting you.

Can she hear us?

- I don't wanna leave her here on her own but...

I can't leave you here with her if you won't put that on.

Now I wanna be off this island before it gets dark so...

what do ya wanna do?

You hungry?

[intercom static/ garbled voice]

Hello?

[intercom static/ garbled voice]

Hello?

Come closer.

Hello?

It's just a fox.

What're you doing with that?

You know how to use that?

- My father and my uncle used to take me hunting.

What are you doing down here?

- I couldn't sleep. I was gonna light a fire.

You can't.

It's blocked.

The whole room fills with smoke when you try to light it.

My mother had it blocked off after she found birds

living in the chimney.

She didn't want to disturb them.

Barrett says she's missing.

Yes?

What's been done to find her?

Nothing.

Were you close with my uncle?

- He said we're friends but I don't remember.

Doesn't seem like someone I'd be friends with.

Why not?

Well, are you close with him?

- He's the only family I have now.

- How 'bout him and your father, were they close?

What are they hunting?

Foxes.

'Til my mother put a stop to it.

- Barrett said he killed himself.

In the basement.

He shot himself through the head with this.

My father suffered from terrible claustrophobia.

I remember one night my mother thought it'd be funny

to put him in the harness.

When he woke up, he begged her for the key but...

she wouldn't give it to him.

He tried to take it from her so...

she swallowed it.

She used to wear that key around her neck like a medal.

She was mad.

She was mad.

He went down into the basement...

and when he came back up the door was locked.

He couldn't get out and...

with his claustrophobia,

he couldn't stand being down there for long so...

he shot himself.

The door closed behind him?

I'm sorry.
