If I could live any place and any time, I'd live here in London in the '60s. It must have felt like the center of the universe.
Eloise Beautiful gown, darling. Thank you. Fabulous. [To the mirror] Who are you wearing? Eloise Turner. WHO are you wearing? Eloise T, of course. E.T. [Blows a raspberry] Ellie Turner.
Eloise When I see someone in it - when I imagine it, she's wearing the dress. The dress isn't wearing her.
Eloise Has a woman ever died in my room?
This is London. Someone has died in every room in every building and on every street corner in the city.
Eloise I know what you did.
I've done a lot of things, Eloise. You're gonna have to be more specific, luv.
Eloise Do you believe in spirits?
What kind of a question is that? That brown stuff pays your wages.
Eloise I mean... do you believe in ghosts?
Ghosts? No. Why? Are you scared down here? If this place is haunted by anything, it's the good times. When it's empty, all I hear is the laughs. Every gangster, every copper, every red-faced lush has been in here, and all those high spirits have soaked into the walls. You could probably get drunk on just that.
Eloise Yeah...
Ellie, I love you, girl. You fit right in. But you can't sleep here.
Eloise I hear you were quite the ladies' man.
"Were?" How dare you. Still am. You never lose it.
I want us both to be there.
Eloise I won't let you guys down.
You never could.
Why, what's up?
Eloise Nothing, I'm just a little... overwhelmed at the moment. London's a lot.
I get it. Coming to the city can be a nightmare. Honestly, I'd be lying if I said I was having the best time in North London so far.
Eloise Where did you move from?
South London.
You're not in any trouble, are you?
Eloise No. No, I just need, uh, an escape.
Oh, don't we all, dearie.
Eloise How do you know my name?
I make it my business to know all the pretty girls around here. All their problems. Always have done.
Eloise What do you want to drink?
Oh, yeah. Three Kronenbourgs, please.
Hey, do you want to dance?
Eloise I might need some alcohol first.
Look at that. You've changed your hair.
Eloise Yeah. I wanted to go for something different - you know, a bit of '60s.
You play a lot of that music, don't you?
Eloise Is it too loud?
Not at all, but what's that about? It's more my time than yours.
Eloise My gran plays it a lot. Guess I just like the old songs better than the stuff today.
Music was better, yeah.
And here she is. You know your siren song is playing? I just put this on the jukebox, and lo and behold, you appear. Carol was worried about you. Thought you'd gone missing. I told her no one ever really disappears. They're always around somewhere.
Eloise I'm right here.
Eloise I don't want to be like this.
Like what?
Eloise I just wish I was like everybody else.
I'm glad you're not.
Just so I’ve got this straight, you- you witnessed the murder last night, but you believe this was a vision from the past, the murder of a young woman in the mid to late 1960s by a man you believe to be her pimp.
Eloise Yeah.
You're an art student, correct?
Eloise Uh, fashion.
Have you ever taken any hallucinogens? Acid, mushrooms, mescaline?
We’re not gonna get you into trouble if you have.
Eloise Yeah, I know it sounds crazy, but I’m not on drugs. I don’t take anything.
You were at a party before. Could somebody have slipped you something? Maybe somebody bought you a drink? Get these down you.
Eloise Uh, no. No, it- it... it started before last night. When I was sober, I saw landmarks in my dreams, details of nightclubs, places that I’d never been to before, and then I saw those details in real life. I know something bad happened to this girl, ’cause I have these visions, these visions of the past. Ever since I moved to London, I keep seeing Sandie. Th- That’s the murdered girl.
Have you only been here a short time?
Eloise A few weeks.
London, well, it can be a lot. Maybe it would help if you spoke to someone.
Eloise Look, please just listen to me!
Is there a history of s- schizophrenia or mental health issues in your family?
Eloise I know who the killer is. It’s her boyfriend, uh, and her pimp, Jack. I’ve seen him in the present day. Look, there’s this man I’ve seen around Soho who follows me. The first time I saw him outside one of those models places, he didn’t take much notice of me, but he did suddenly take notice when I changed my hair to the same style as Sandie’s, the murdered girl.
What, this hairdo? Look... look, my point is I’ve seen Jack. I’ve seen the killer as an old man around Soho.
Can you narrow down "around Soho"?
Eloise He drinks at The Toucan.
I think we’ve got all we need.
And then she says the... the killer drinks at The Toucan and- and narrows it down to me, you and the whole rest of Soho. [Colleagues laughs] Yeah, I’m sitting there thinking, "This is complete bullshit, darling."
Miss Turner. Miss Turner, don’t go. I’d really like you to stick around.
Eloise What do I need to do to convince you I’m not crazy?
I don’t think you are. I just think you need a bit of help to settle in. A- a support system. You’ve done the right thing. Please hear that, okay? And I will look into Sandie's murder, and I’ve got your contact details, so if anything comes up, I’ll be in touch.
Eloise Thank you.
Though I will say, in such cases, especially this old, it’s hard when you don’t have something concrete to go on... even a last name.
Eloise Jesus, John! Why whisper like that?
It's a library.
Eloise Right.
