Stay calm.

Just focus.

Jason?

Jason?

Jason.

Jason, is that you?

Hey.

Stay away from me.

Get away from me. No.

No, no, no.

Don't come near me.

No!

Lizzy. Lizzy, my nana

gave me that vase.

Jason?

Nana gave me this vase.

What... are you

shitting me right now?

My God,

you're such an a**hole!

I'm not your friggin'

little brother.

Lizzy, it was

just a joke.

Lizzy.

I was just joking around.

Look, it's just a joke.

Lizzy.

Great.

Jason.

Baby?

Come in.

Forgive me?

No.

Why did you

do that?

You know that

I hate scary movies.

You scared the crap

out of me.

It was almost like you

thought it was funny.

Not cool.

I know, I'm...

I'm sorry.

It was really stupid,

really immature,

and... I'm really

sorry, baby.

I won't do it again.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I don't know. I'm-I'm worried

that they're coming back.

Listen, Lizzy. Now that you've

moved back into that environment,

I'd like to give it

another shot.

Give what

another shot?

Hypnotherapy.

No, no!

Absolutely not!

Lizzy, there's no way you can

move forward with your life

unless you understand

and know your past.

Yes, I can.

People move forward with their lives

without knowing about their pasts.

People with amnesia

or whatever.

You know, I don't want

to care about the past.

I finally have a life

with Jason.

The past is over and done with.

Who cares?

Can't you just give me some

stronger pills or something

and then we can both move

forward with our lives.

All right, listen.

These pills are quite a bit different

than the ones I've been giving you.

They're... they're stronger and

they have more of a calming effect

than a feel good effect. And you're

not meant to drink alcohol with them.

Is that understood?

Yes. No, no, thank you, Doctor.

No alcohol.

Yes.

It makes

their effect stronger.

There you go.

No alcohol.

Yes. Thank you.

Whoa, Jay.

Jay.

Sorry. You just scared

the sh*t out of me.

I'm sorry.

No, that's all right.

You feeling all right?

Yeah, I'm fine. I just feel a

little, you know, out of it.

Oh, you been drinking

with Lizzy all night.

No, we got into a fight and I

didn't get much sleep anyways,

but I just feel

kind of beat up.

Oh, you want

the day off?

Oh, f*** no, man.

I need the money.

Good, well, get your ass

in the goddamn truck.

We have work to do.

Hey, babe.

Um... hi.

What's wrong?

Are you drunk?

No. I had a few beers,

but I'm not drunk. Why?

Because

it's nine o'clock,

and you're just now

getting home,

and you're slurring

your words a little bit.

Well, I got off late and the new

foreman wanted to grab a beer

and talk about

a job next week.

Really? So why didn't you

call me and tell me that?

Because I left

my phone at the shop.

We went from the site

to the bar.

I don't believe you.

What?

Your coming home drunk this late?

It's pretty convenient

that you didn't have

your phone on you.

Why am I getting

the third degree?

I don't get

to mind myself.

Why are you

so angry?

I'm not angry,

all right?

It's just that

I work hard all day

and come home to you

flipping out on me?

Crazy, I should be

getting a blow job or...

Stop f***ing

calling me that, okay?

Blow job, seriously?

I've been home all day

expecting you at five o'clock.

Here it is nine o'clock and I haven't

heard a f***ing word until now?

Did you hear

what I said?

I don't have

my phone.

Why didn't you use

a pay phone,

or your boss's cell phone

or something?

You want me to use

my boss's cell phone

to call you just because

you're insecure?

Oh, so now

I'm insecure...

and a crazy person?

What do you think

I was doing?

You think I was f***ing

some chick?

Well, you've

done it before.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I think so.

It looked like you hit

your head pretty hard.

Who are you?

I'm so sorry.

I'm your new neighbor.

I'm Maggie.

I saw that you guys

moved in last week

and I've been meaning to

come over and say hello

but I just haven't

had a chance.

And I heard

your husband...

Oh, he's not

my husband.

Well, I heard your

boyfriend get in his truck

and drive away

real fast.

He did?

Yeah, we got

into a fight

and I said some things

to really piss him off,

so he does that.

I completely understand.

My boyfriend and I

just broke-up, so...

So, why were you...

Well, I heard your...

I heard your boyfriend...

Jason.

Jason leave,

and then I heard screams

coming from in here.

You heard screams from in here?

Yeah.

Oh, that's strange.

I, um...

I think I took a nap

after Jason left.

Well, I know

what I heard.

And I...

I think it was you.

Another nightmare.

A nightmare.

Um... I got up

really quickly

and I got dizzy,

and then I saw you out here.

And at the time,

I couldn't really see you, and...

I thought you were

here to hurt me.

Oh my God.

Not at all.

The door was unlocked,

and I saw you there

in the hallway,

and I asked

if you were okay.

Well, I thought

I heard a voice,

but it didn't make

any sense.

Well, I was really loud.

I mean, I feel really bad.

No, no,

don't feel bad.

I-I've been feeling

really strange lately.

Ever since I moved

back into this house,

all sorts of weird things

have been happening to me.

It doesn't make

any sense at all.

Oh, hey.

What?

I'm Maggie.

I'm your neighbor.

Jason.

I'm Lizzy.

Nice to meet you.

Both of you.

I have to get up early so I

should probably hit the sack.

Nice to meet you...

Maggie.

Jackass.

How about a drink?

Would you like a drink?

Yeah.

I have this friend who has

this really great winery.

He makes

delicious wine.

I think this will

definitely do the trick.

F***ing weird ass doll.

Lizzy?

Lizzy?

She says its not her fault,

but nobody believes her.

What's not her fault?

You don't know?

It's not my fault.

Maggie?

Let's bust open

that basement door

you were telling

me about last night.

Yeah, just give me

a second to wake up.

You got five minutes.

You're not much

for knocking are you?

Wait.

What?

I don't know.

Shouldn't we let Jason do this?

Why?

Because. What if we f*** something up

and we can't get inside.

Don't worry about it. It will be easy.

You just drink your coffee and

let me do all the work, okay?

Okay.

God.

Oh, God.

All right. One more time.

Okay, let's try.

Okay.

All right, should we... You want to...

No, you.

You swing.

You're good.

You know what?

Take and edge and try to pry it.

Yeah, exactly.

It's impossible.

All right.

Ready?

Oh, God.

We're getting it

a little.

Here.

No, I want to do it.

I want to do it. Oops.

Come on. Come on.

Come on, Jason.

Hello?

Who's in there?

Hey!

I'm giving you five seconds

to get the f*** out of here.

That's it.

I'm calling the cops.

I'm not playing around, man.

You'll pay.

Stop!

Sh*t.

I'm telling you,

they're not working!

The pills aren't working?

No! They're

not working, okay?

I'm nervous

and I'm anxious

and I'm...

I'm having nightmares.

And I'm ruining my

relationship with Jason.
