Deadline

Alright let's

finish packing

and get the hell outta here.

What the hell is that?

A gun.

Are you serious?

Ben...

will be out soon.

He'll try to find me.

He always does.

He has no idea where

you're going.

What if he finds out?

Alice, I don't like

you having a gun. You don't

even have a license for it.

I don't understand. Why

can't you just stay here and

work while I'm in New York.

I don't want to be

alone in the apartment.

I don't feel safe here.

Besides, I'm already

behind on my deadline.

You're putting yourself

under too much pressure.

It's too soon.

If I don't go to work

I will go crazy.

You look

really great on film.

You're a real

voyeur ain'tcha?

Filmmaker.

Oh, like there's

a difference?

There's other

things to film.

You're ruining my shots.

So how much are you

paying for this

place anyway?

Free.

Free?

Uh-huh.

This is the slimy producer

who's been trying to get

in your pants

for the last

year, correct?

He's not slimy. He's rich.

And he's helping out

a struggling writer.

Yeah. Right.

You know

what I was thinking?

Maybe you should write

about your own life?

It might be therapeutic.

I have no interest

in writing a horror film.

Oh my God

we've found it.

You think it's

big enough for me?

It's big enough

for a football team.

Oh my Goodness.

You are gonna be

so lonely here.

That's exactly

what I want.

It's perfect.

Well alright then!

It's huge.

Oh my Goodness.

Ohhhh.

Come on,

let's go upstairs.

Oh.

Bedroom?

Yes.

Look at that balcony.

I could definitely

get used to this.

Okay.

Old houses

are like people.

They grumble

and moan and cry

like they're in pain.

And keep you

awake at night.

I'm gonna miss you.

Are you?

Yes.

Even your sarcasm.

Ben was stupid to do

what he did to you.

I hate it

when you're sad, Alice.

It makes me sad too.

Come on.

Come on, let's check

out the rest of the house

before you have to leave.

Alice?

Where are ya?

Hey.

How odd.

I wonder

who owned this place before

the producer guy bought it.

I have no idea.

A family, I guess.

Alice.

Don't... Don't

torture yourself.

Come on. Come.

Come on.

Let's go.

Are you

sure you want me

to take the car?

Yes.

You'll be stranded

here without it.

That's the whole point,

so I can focus and work.

Why don't you just let me

take a cab to the airport,

it's not a big deal.

Becky, I don't want the car.

I'm never gonna use it.

Okay. If you're sure.

This is everything.

Where's my laptop?

Up stairs

in the bedroom

with your suitcase.

Is this enough

food for one week?

Plenty. I don't eat

much when I'm working.

I'll unpack the rest.

Come on,

let's go before

you miss your flight.

You'd better

call me.

Oh, of course I will.

Don't forget

to brush your teeth.

Thanks, Mom.

Don't forget

to drive carefully.

Hello.

Hello?

Becca? Hi.

Ally. I have something

to tell you. Promise me

you won't freak out.

Ben turned up

at the apartment looking

for you. He's out of prison.

Since when?

Last night.

Last night?

And you didn't

call me to warn me?

Calm down, please.

He has no idea

were you are.

No, I'm not calming down.

Ben knows he's going

to go back to prison if

he comes within a mile of you.

Rebecca, Ben doesn't

care about the law

and you know that!

Sh*t!

Need a hand Scooch?

I got it.

Play with your toy.

Hey, show me the ring.

Haven't you seen it

enough already?

Well Mrs. Woods,

I would like to see

how the lens does on closeups.

Tsk.

Wish I could've

afforded the other one.

David.

Don't say that. Alright?

I adore this ring.

And I adore you.

So what time

is your mom coming?

Seven.

Is she planning

on spending the night again?

It's her house.

She just gets

lonely by herself.

Alright. I'll talk to her.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Well

dinner's almost done

I think you could put

that thing away.

David!

Alright!

You look so cute

in your sexy glasses.

Come on turn it off.

Don't tell me

you weren't a

runway model one day.

Flattery will

get you nowhere.

Okay. Why don't

you pretend you're

somebody famous then.

No, Ally, I'm reading!

Give me the damn camera!

No, I don't think so.

Oh oh oh, she thinks

she's stronger than me!

I can't leave

the film like that!

It's still rolling!

So how long

are you going

to keep me a secret?

You're not a secret.

Nobody knows about me.

I haven't met

any of your friends.

Are you ashamed of me?

Oh, that's not true.

Then what

are you afraid of?

I'm afraid that

if Ben finds out

how close we are

he's gonna get

the wrong idea.

Wrong idea about what?

It doesn't matter.

Ally, nothing

is going to happen to you.

I had this dream once

where he killed me.

It's just a dream.

He's getting out soon.

Come on, come on, come on.

Hello?

Oh, it's me.

Alice, it's 4:
00

o'clock in the morning.

I though someone had died.

I just. I needed

to hear your voice.

Is something wrong?

I'm not sure.

What does that mean?

I:

I don't know,

I think, uh,

I think there's

someone in the house.

Have you called

the police?

No, it's not like that.

Call the damn

police or I will.

It's not normal.

Tell me what's

going on. You're

not making any sense.

I think someone died here.

Call the damn

police or I will.

I can feel it.

I can feel

the sadness, the energy.

Did you hear

what I just said?

Yes.

Well?

I think you watch

too many movies.

This house is creepy.

It's an old house, Ally.

Of course it's creepy.

Someone used my laptop.

And I keep

hearing these voices.

Someone crying

like they're

in so much pain.

Ally?

Yes?

Have you been taking

your medication?

You don't believe me.

It's 4:
00 o'clock

in the morning and

you're talking about a ghost.

I shouldn't have called you.

No. Don't say that, please.

I'm glad you called.

Look, why don't you get

a taxi back to the city,

you'll be

here in a few hours.

I'm not leaving.

I came here to work.

You are putting yourself

under too much pressure.

You'll make yourself

sick again. Alice?

Alice?

Are you there?

Hello?

Yes. Alright.

I'll take my pills.

Sorry I called you.

Inspire me, Lucy.

My muse.

You are so beautiful.

Thank you.

Can you please

stop filming? You know,

it kinda makes me nervous

What time

do you think

you'll be home?

Not too late.

What's your friend's

name again?

Marie.

She single?

No.

She's a,

she's married

to Luke, remember?

Luke was at the wedding.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Was Marie at the wedding?

She's one

of my best friends.

I haven't really seen her

that much since I've been

with you, you know.

She is gonna freak

when I tell her

that I'm pregnant.

Ever since

we were little

we were always saying

we'd get

pregnant together.

You didn't tell her?

I've been saving it.

I wanna see her face

when I say ' I'm pregnant! '

you know?

I want the surprise.

You know, how do

I even know you're

seeing this girl. Huh?

You could be...

going to see some guy

David?

We're having a baby together?
