They had a brief intimate relationship at this time, but later Claire discovered that Henry simply wished to relive his wedding night with each new cloned Elizabeth, prior to murdering them. The new (and final) Elizabeth reads the journal which tells how Henry and Claire initially met, and details their work together on the cloning experiments. Elizabeth is also fatally wounded by the new clone, but before she dies she tells the clone to read Claire’s journal. Confused and disoriented, the new clone shoots and kills Oliver. Elizabeth attacks Oliver and tries to escape, but suddenly a new (6th and final) “Elizabeth” clone appears, holding a rifle. When Elizabeth tells Oliver this, he states that Henry blinded him out of jealousy as a child, not liking Oliver's growing friendship with one of the child clones and after Oliver had confronted Henry of molesting one of them. The journal also reveals Claire’s suspicions that Oliver is actually a clone of Henry, the revelation of which she confronted Henry with and he did not deny. From the journal, it is learned that Henry and Claire have awoken six clones in total, including the current “Elizabeth” who is the "Fifth Elizabeth". The initial attempts were abortive, but eventually they succeeded.

Six weeks later, another “Elizabeth” is traveling home with Henry after their wedding, exactly as before. Claire and Oliver help him to dispose of her corpse in a shallow grave in the grounds. When Henry returns, he quickly discovers her deceit and brutually murders Elizabeth. She runs out of the room in a panic, leaving the door open. But eventually her curiosity gets the better of her and she explores the forbidden room, where she discovers clones of herself. Initially, her new clothing and jewellery, and the various luxuries provided by her new home are sufficient to entertain her. Henry shows Elizabeth around the house, telling her that she can enter any room except one, which is located in the basement.Īfter Henry leaves for work each day, Elizabeth is left to her own devices. Henry’s house is palatial and only two other people live there the housekeeper Claire, and Henry’s adult son Oliver (who is blind).
