INT. CLOSED RAILWAY STATION - NIGHT
Rain on the skylight. An old answering machine blinks beside the lost-property desk.
03 That machine hasn't worked since the flood. Why is its light blinking? 0:00 04 One message. From our night guard. He says not to open the west door. 0:04 05 Arthur disappeared eleven years ago. That's somebody's idea of a joke. 0:09 06 Then somebody remembered his cough. And the way he says my name when I've done something stupid. 0:14 07 What time did the call come in? 0:19 08 Tomorrow. Two seventeen in the morning. I checked it twice, which didn't make it any better. 0:21 09 It's two sixteen now. 0:27 10 He says there'll be three knocks. Then a woman asking for a ticket to a town that isn't on our map. 0:29 11 There's a woman outside. Red coat. No umbrella. She hasn't moved since we started talking. 0:35 12 Nora, that's not the west door. That's the glass on the lost-property cupboard. 0:42 13 Play the rest of the message. 0:47 14 There is no rest. Just my voice, saying we should have listened the first time. 0:50 ✳ End of reading
