Personal Shopper Page #4

Synopsis: It's been already three months since the sudden death of her 27-year-old twin brother Lewis from a congenital malformation of the heart, and Maureen, a young fashionista, assistant to a celebrity woman and a capable medium, still hasn't made any contact with him. Spending her time between high profile fashion establishments and the abandoned Lewis' house in Paris, Maureen is silently battling with the gut-wrenching grief and sorrow, while at the same time, looking for a sign from her deceased brother after an oath taken between the twins. Aloof, disoriented and still mourning, wraithlike Maureen attuned to the ethereal realm, is inevitably caught between this world and the spiritual, always looking for portholes and a sign that would prove her brother right, however, in vain. Unexpectedly, as the days pass by swiftly and the random apparitions become more frequent, Maureen will start to receive strange text messages from an unknown sender who seems to know a lot about her, but in the e

Sorry, I let myself in. I'm just gonna

drop these bags for you, okay?

Hey Kyra, you doing alright?

Hey?

Are you ready?

I drove for...

2 minutes maybe before

I realised what I was doing,

And I came back and called.

Why didn't you do it earlier?

I-I-I... I freaked out.

I-I-I ran away.

You ran away from a presence...

There way a light on in the...

back of the apartment,

I heard something.

What were you doing at Mrs. Gellman's?

Dropping off a couple of bags.

I don't understand.

I'm a personal shopper. She was...

very high profile and couldn't...

do normal things, didn't have time.

And I sort of assisted her in that.

You used Mrs. Gellman's computer

last night.

Um, maybe.

And again this morning.

You check your messages on Gmail.

We have the record.

So, why are you asking?

Did you sleep at her place?

Did you sleep at her place?

Yes, I did. I slept at her place.

Why?

Um, I don't know.

To be honest, I never do that.

Why did you hide it?

A stupid reaction.

Maybe, maybe I was...

a little ashamed.

You knew she was coming home today?

Yeah. She was coming back from Milan,

and on her way to Marrakech.

I was dropping off some

accessories for her.

What accessories?

Jewellery.

What jewellery?

Very expensive jewellery from Cartier.

And you left it there?

Yeah. In four cases in two bags.

Were they still there

when you went back?

I-I-I don't know. I wasn't...

I wasn't considering the jewellery

at that point...

I didn't notice.

Unknown:
Did you tell the cops

about my texts?

Unknown:
ANSWER ME.

Unknown:
DID YOU TELL THE COPS

ABOUT MY TEXTS?

Sorry, if I woke you up.

I was just stress-testing...

one of the new security protocols.

Really f***ing hard to configure.

So, it's gonna take me a month.

Best case.

I'm gonna come see you.

You giving up?

Yeah, it's not going to happen.

Maureen, it's not that

it isn't going to happen,

it's that it doesn't exist.

After death,

there's nothing.

I- I know.

And it's not that big a deal.

You told me that you had a hope...

Like you really hoped that...

Of course I do.

But, no.

I don't believe.

I don't want to be here anymore.

I don't want to be in Paris anymore.

I miss you.

I miss you too.

I'm actually heading up

the mountains for a few days.

If you want to, you can come quickly

and meet me there.

Maybe...

It really depends on what the police say.

If the travel ban's been lifted or not.

The police?

Yeah, Kyra was murdered,

you didn't hear that?

- It's everywhere. All over the news.

- What?

- I found her.

- Murdered?

Who murdered her?

I don't know.

It was really horr... It was, ah...

Are you okay?

I can't talk about it.

It was f***ing horrible.

You want me to call you back later?

I'll call you.

Unknown:
Crown Plaza. Room 329.

Right away.

Unknown:
I'll wait another hour.

Unknown:
I know you are reading my texts.

Come.

Unknown:
Then I'll come.

Unknown:
I have spares of your keys.

Unknown:
I am in the taxi.

Unknown:
I am in front of your building.

Unknown:
Come down.

Unknown:
Now.

Unknown:
I am coming up.

Unknown:
I am on the landing.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

- They... Can I have some?

- Yeah, sure.

They arrested Ingo, and he...

and he confessed to everything.

Did they lift the travel ban?

Yeah. The case is closed.

But you'll testify?

Yes, yeah, probably.

Do you want to come to my place?

Yeah. I feel, um...

I'm scared when I alone now.

You're going to see Gary, right?

Yes, Yep.

You should have gone a while ago.

I should have listened to you.

Let's go, I have my car.

- Morning.

- Morning.

You're Lewis' sister?

I am.

We were together at l'cole Boulle.

Now I work at the Gobelin workshops.

Actually, I should get going soon.

You should stay.

If you can.

- Maureen.

- Erwin.

Both:
Enchant.

I understand that you might

feel uncomfortable.

Why?

Because I've taken Lewis' place.

So soon.

Not at all.

You're mistaken.

While he was alive,

there was nothing between Lara and me.

It didn't cross my mind.

Honestly.

You know how they say,

the dead watch over the living?

I've thought about that quite a lot.

Not just because Lewis was a medium.

I don't know what that means.

For me, he was someone

deeply intuitive of others.

He understood things that went unspoken.

He did.

Maybe because he knew

he was going to die.

I mean I felt that he

saw things which I didn't.

Maybe you do too.

He thought that you had the same gifts.

I don't know.

I, ah..

Had a tendency to follow him.

He took things quite far.

Too far for me, at least.

I couldn't keep up.

All I mean is that with Lewis,

nothing seems impossible.

Many religions believe that

the soul wanders around for a while

before leaving this world.

Did he speak to you about that?

He was convinced of it.

Years ago, Mum died,

he was sure that...

he was visited by her.

That she came to say goodbye to him.

That it felt like a dream,

but not, that it was very real.

He could smell her,

he could see her so clearly... you know?

Do you believe that?

Yeah, I do.

It's not a religion thing, but I...

I do.

Do you think Lewis is here?

I don't think so.

I feel his presence.

He's here.

That might be your guilt talking.

You don't need to feel guilty.

Lara deserves to be happy.

And you do too.

I like to think so but...

something is stopping me.

- I hope it has nothing to do with me.

- No.

But you also have to

free yourself of Lewis.

Well, I wish he'd let me.

Wherever he is,

he would never forbid it.

And even if he's nowhere,

hold onto the memory of his freedom.

Put it into practice.

I know what you mean.

You know, I have to get going.

Will you be staying a few days?

Just tonight. I leave tomorrow.

- So, I'll see you tonight.

- Okay.

Uhh, uhh uhh. Good boy.

What happened?

A glass broke.

I thought you were outside?

Erwin just left.

He must have left it on the edge

of the table, or something.

I hope you had a good trip.

Get some rest.

Your driver is named Salim.

It's best to leave a little

before daybreak.

Count on a five hour ride.

Don't worry, the road is safe,

even if it is not very busy.

Take the minimum.

I have everything we need.

In other words, not much.

If it's okay with you,

we'll stay for a week.

You'll have to be tolerant,

it's spartan.

But you told me this is what you wanted.

Haiji?

Lewis?

Are you here?

Have you been waiting for me?

Are you at peace?

Thank you.

Are you not at peace?

Are you playing with me?

Do you mean harm?

I don't know you.

Who are you?

Who are you?

Lewis, is it you?

Lewis, is it you?

Or is it just me?
