The Village in the Woods

- -

Mmm, we must be here.

So it should be up on the right.

There's that bloody sign again.

We must have missed a turning.

For fuck's sake!

- - Where are you going?

To try and get a bloody signal!

Oh, come on.

Are you kidding me?

Come on!

What are we gonna do?

Sleep here.

You're kidding me.

There's no fuel, no signal now...

First light we'll go.

See if we can find a garage or something.

- -

What time is it?

It's sevenish.

Oh, my back.

That was a hard sleep.

Did you sleep?

No.

It's too cold.

I'm gonna find out where we are.

There must be something nearby.

What if you get lost?

Don't wanna be stuck here forever, do you?

You coming?

Yeah.

Don't forget that key.

You're kidding me.

Let's go.

Wow, it's...

Brilliant.

I was gonna say a dump.

Our dump.

There's someone upstairs.

Huh?

There's someone up there.

Gimme the key, babe.

Rebecca?

Rebecca.

Oh, we've been expecting you.

My, my, my, haven't you changed.

Oh, I'm Maddy.

Jason.

Pleased to meet you, Jason.

What a beautiful ring.

Wasn't it Kit's?

Yeah.

I remember her wearing it.

Absolutely stunning.

Cheers.

We're just trying to get in.

I thought I saw someone.

Oh, Arthur.

Moved in after his wife died.

Place has never been the same.

We've been trying to get rid of him ever since.

Is there a garage around here?

Why, have you broken down?

Yeah, ran out of fuel.

Petrol or diesel?

Petrol.

I think I can accommodate that.

Really?

Yes.

Come with me, come on.

Come, come, come.

Thanks, that's very kind of you.

Oh, there we go.

One can of petrol.

Take as much as you need.

Thanks?

Gosh, it is so very cold.

Why don't you both come in

and have a warm drink?

I think we're best getting back to the car.

Later maybe?

Are you sure?

You're both very welcome to come and have breakfast.

Can we take a raincheck on that?

Ah, of course you can.

I'll tell you, you have no idea what it'll mean

to see that pub back up and running again.

Everyone will be so excited to meet you.

Hmm.

Tata.

She's onto me.

No chance, as long as we stay out of trouble.

You must be Rebecca, if I'm not mistaken.

I'm Charles.

Oh, hi.

And you must be...?

Jason.

Oh, how very nice to meet you both.

Your car the one in the woods?

Yeah, we ran out of gas.

Right, so you've got what you need?

We best be going.

Sure. See you soon.

Yeah, of course, we'll be back.

Good.

Good to hear.

Stop acting like that.

Like what?

You're being really obvious.

Just chill, okay?

For fuck's sake, come on!

God!

Fuck!

Ugh!

Where to now?

Take this.

What are we doing?

Going back to the pub.

What?

Come on.

Come on!

- -

What?

I just heard her screwing.

What?

Seriously, I just heard her fucking

and going hard at it like the clappers.

No.

Ugh.

At her age?

Who the hell with?

Probably some young buck.

Ugh.

At least somebody's getting it.

We could use here.

For what?

For our stuff.

Till we get him out.

How exactly are we gonna get him out?

Have you thought about that?

Hello?

Hello?!

I'm not staying in here.

You got any better ideas?

Walk to the nearest town?

What town?

You've seen where we are, come on, Nicky.

You said this would be easy.

It's a dump, who the hell is gonna buy it?

The village is bloody dead.

I want a home.

I want a baby.

I want to settle down.

This place is our ticket to all that.

He has to go out sometime.

You wait for him then.

Nicky!

Rebecca, I thought you might need these.

Ah.

Oh, I'm so sorry, is this a bad time?

No, we just expected more

and can't get in the flat.

He's such an awkward old man.

He's been the bane of this village for years.

Just wanna speak to him.

You should have knocked.

I did, he didn't answer.

No.

Earlier when you came over

with the jerry can.

I didn't want to disturb you.

Oh, don't be silly.

I wasn't too busy, was I, Charles?

Oh, I have an idea.

Why don't you both come and stay at my place till Monday?

Well I could do with some strong young hands

around the place.

Thanks, but I think we'd better stay here.
