Previously on Tales from Davidstown

7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:20,440
Something's not right.

8
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:21,840
Jess.

9
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,200
Oh my God!

10
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,480
Something else was fighting for control.

11
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,080
Oh. Oh.

12
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,040
I know what you're going to think.

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,120
I'm crazy.

14
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,120
I need to show you
that I'm not losing my mind.

15
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,360
That I really am a monster.

16
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:50,480
Stay right there.

17
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:53,480
I'm on my way.

18
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,600
Jess: Oh! Fucking traffic.

19
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,760
Come on. Yeah.

20
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,080
All right, pal.

21
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,720
Jesus.

22
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,000
It's coming up 6 p.m..

23
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,040
And now for the latest news.

24
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,280
There's been continued pressure

25
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,360
on local police to help find
and catch the killer of local livestock

26
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,000
from three different farms in the area
over the last four months,

27
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,800
including one such attack
that left eight sheep mutilated.

28
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,560
While some continue to blame an as yet
unidentified person,

29
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,560
there have been growing concerns
that this may in fact

30
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,360
be the work of an animal,
perhaps a big cat, or escaped large do-

31
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,680
That is quite enough of that.

32
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,360
Thank you very much.

33
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:09,600
**Phone Beep**

34
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:10,640
Philippa.

35
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:12,840
It's Jess. 
I just want to make sure you've got

36
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,840
those blog posts and reels
ready to go online this evening.

37
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:19,360
Oh, and let's drop any more posts
about those farm animal slaughters

38
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,800
for now, yeah?
If I get one more shitty comment

39
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,800
about that, on my feed
today I'm going to lose it.

40
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,680
I'm on my way to see Emily for a bit,
so drop me a message if you need anything.

41
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:29,920
All right?

42
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:32,200
Thanks, bye.

43
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,080
Here we go. Hey.

44
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,680
Emily: Hey.

45
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,880
Can I come in?

46
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,240
Yeah.

47
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:13,560
Yeah.

48
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,560
Of course.

49
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,880
Oh my God,

50
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,840
what happened to your back door?

51
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,840
Did someone break in?

52
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,440
No. Not exactly.

53
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,440
More like... broke out.

54
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,560
Okay, Emily,
I'm really worried about you right now.

55
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,880
First that attack and now this.

56
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:49,680
I'll get it fixed.

57
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,080
It takes ages to get
windows and doors replaced.

58
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,360
That's not what I mean.

59
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,360
And you know it. 
I know.

60
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,280
Look,

61
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,200
whatever it is, it's okay.

62
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,240
You can tell me.

63
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,360
You don't have to deal with this
on your own.

64
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,160
Yes, I have told you.

65
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,120
That you think you're a monster. Yes.

66
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,720
Is that what you're telling me
happened in here?

67
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,720
That you turned into... something

68
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,040
and smashed through a door?

69
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:26,200
I...
Sweetie, I think we have to consider that

70
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,920
what really happened was that something
was in you drank on that night out.

71
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,040
Okay?

72
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,200
Jesus. Jess...

73
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,840
I so want to say that it was.

74
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:38,840
But...
But?

75
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,520
But every fiber of me is saying it's
something else.

76
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,200
Something more.

77
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,200
And it's not the first time it's happened.

78
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,160
What?

79
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,080
This...

80
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,640
Oh, fuck.

81
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,440
This is

82
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,440
hard.

83
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,080
About a month later,

84
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,200
I mean, I get

85
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,840
what are you’re saying.

86
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:09,320
It makes the most amount of sense, right?

87
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,280
Getting spiked.

88
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:14,640
I went weeks telling myself that

89
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,520
I just got so fucked up
that I did this to my house.

90
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,520
And then I woke up in...

91
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,920
Woke up where?

92
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,240
Where did you go?

93
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,600
I woke up in a field
about a mile from here,

94
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,360
soaking wet, covered in mud, near naked.

95
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,360
And with this awful taste in my mouth

96
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,160
Iike I’d eaten something vile.

97
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,400
Jesus Christ.

98
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,080
Luckily it was early.

99
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,360
No one saw me getting home.

100
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:46,680
I think.

101
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:51,040
Okay, now I'm really scared Em. What the fuck.

102
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,120
Just hear me out.

103
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,240
I, I need to tell you about

104
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:00,600
my car.

105
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,600
Wait, your car that was stolen a messed up?

106
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,200
It wasn't.

107
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:07,720
I mean,

108
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,960
it wasn't stolen.

109
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,040
I spent days.

110
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:20,000
Weeks trying to work out
what really happened that night at home.

111
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,160
After nearly a month

112
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,040
of going over and over and

113
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:30,200
over it in my head, I'd
come to the conclusion that I'd lost it.

114
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,680
Like you
said, just been drugged and gone crazy.

115
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,760
So I forced myself to do something

116
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,760
productive, something creative.

117
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,840
So I picked up my camera

118
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:48,240
and headed into the Moors
to get a photograph of the sunset

119
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,920
in over the valley.

120
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,640
On your own?
I...

121
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,640
I still really didn't want to see anyone.

122
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,160
I just needed to do something

123
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,160
that brings me joy.

124
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,200
Fine.

125
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,200
Go on.

126
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,160
The sun was about to touch the hills.

127
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,480
The sky was on fire.

128
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,840
That brilliant red almost

129
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,080
shimmering magical light over the valley.

130
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,680
And the heather vivid purple.

131
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,680
Flowering all around me.

132
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,440
It felt wonderful.

133
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,960
I hadn't felt that relaxed in months.

134
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,640
So I did what I do.

135
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,640
I started taking pictures.

136
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,840
Beautiful.

137
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,120
Sun felt warm on my skin.

138
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,120
Right up to the point
it set behind the hill.

139
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,640
And then sitting on the hood of my car,

140
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,560
I watched the moon rise.

141
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,120
Wow, look how bright you are this evening.

142
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,240
I should get some photos of you too.

143
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,360
Okay, clearly,

144
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,360
I've been spending
way too much time on my own.

145
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,720
I remember the smells in the air,

146
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,560
the heather

147
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:42,000
that post heat, aroma of the summer day.

148
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,760
It was so strong.

149
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,880
And this other thing,

150
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,880
I couldn't quite place it at the time.

151
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,120
Like,

152
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,360
wool.

153
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,040
But more animal.

154
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,640
Not washed or processed.

155
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,240
Dirty.

156
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,000
You shouldn't have been up there
on your own at that time.

157
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,520
I know that.

158
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,520
I mean,

159
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,400
I knew that then too.

160
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,400
It was getting dark fast.

161
00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:22,320
So I got back to the car
and started making my way

162
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,320
back to town.

163
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,600
**Humming**

164
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,480
Jesus!

165
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,200
Hey, hey, get out of the road!

166
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,400
You stupid sheep!

167
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,080
I could have killed you.

168
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,080
My heart was already pounding.

169
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:50,880
I looked at the

170
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,040
side for the camera, but
he wasn't on the passenger seat anymore.

171
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,520
I could just make it out in the footwell.

172
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:58,840
Oh, fuck.

173
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,080
You better not be broken.

174
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,800
I hit the hazard
lights, reached for the camera,

175
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,800
and then,

176
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,800
it happened.

177
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,240
I looked up,

178
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,240
the moon was beaming right over me.

179
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,480
A huge supermoon,

180
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,880
and then my jaw,

181
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,080
my teeth,

182
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,160
I could,

183
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,160
I could feel something in my teeth.

184
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,160
I re-adjusted

185
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,160
the rear-view mirror to look at my face.

186
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,000
my teeth

187
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,400
were growing,

188
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,040
pushing out longer and longer,

189
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,560
far past where my lips could cover them.

190
00:10:51,560 --> 00:10:54,440
Oh, God, oh, God.

191
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,040
No, you can’t be real!

192
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,320
It can't be real.

193
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,680
Have you ever had that feeling
like you're about to have a nightmare?

194
00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:07,680
That you knew
you were about to have a bad dream,

195
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,120
and then you squeeze your eyes hard, shut
and try your hardest

196
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,840
to wake up before it begins,
before the terror sets in.

197
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,320
I couldn't wake up from it.

198
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,280
And as I watched my fingernails

199
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,800
split open and black claws
grow from my fingertips,

200
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,360
I knew

201
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,560
it was real.

202
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:36,680
It was all real.

203
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,320
Oh, God.

204
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,760
Please, please. No.

205
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:56,920
I, I don't want to be a monster.

206
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,920
I felt my chest
push - out my shirt, tearing.

207
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,360
Oh, while my skin burned, my jeans
and trainers, tightened. 

208
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,120
Coming apart at the seams.

209
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,880
My hands, like they were being slowed
down.

210
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,000
Encased in something invisible.

211
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,760
I was losing control.

212
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,480
I felt so...

213
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,360
Confined.

214
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,840
I tried to open the car door.

215
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,840
All I could think about was getting out.

216
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,040
Getting free.

217
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,200
The one time...

218
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,600
The one time
I don't need to belt holding me in place...

219
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,880
Noooo please!

220
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:53,520
Nuhhhhhh....! 
Maybe it should hold me there.

221
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,480
Despite the agony, keeping me in place

222
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,400
will slow me down.

223
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:04,560
Nooooooo pleeeeeease nooooooo!!!

224
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,640
That...

225
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,200
That poor sheep.

226
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,520
It was....

227
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,520
it was frozen on the spot.

228
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,680
At least until I-
**Roaring**

229
00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:22,600
**sheep noise**

230
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:23,480
And there was just...

231
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,240
There was just a moment.

232
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,000
The slightest of a second.

233
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,880
That I could think clearly.

234
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,880
Grab the camera. Try...

235
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,280
Try to take a picture.

236
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,280
Oh. Come on,

237
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,800
Come on!!

238
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,760
My damn hands were too big.

239
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,760
It took so much concentration.

240
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:56,680
Oh, please,

241
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,520
someone help me!

242
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,240
Jess: Emily...

243
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,240
Jesus Christ.

244
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,200
Jesus Christ.

245
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,520
There's something....

246
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,520
There's something I need to show you.

247
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,800
Fuck!

248
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,360
Shit.

249
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,360
Emily...

250
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,080
Look I...

251
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:35,680
I don't

252
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,680
I don't know what to say right now. I.

253
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,000
I don't know what we can do.

254
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,680
Fuck.

255
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,400
I don't know how we can fix this, and I-
Jess.

256
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,480
I can't even think about what
we need to fix.

257
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:56,240
And it's all just...

258
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,480
Look, I think I just need to breathe.

259
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,440
I need to leave for a moment.
I just need to... um... 
Jess.

260
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,160
I'm sorry.

261
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:05,200
I'm really sorry.

262
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,960
I um...

263
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,960
I need to go.

264
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:37,440
