- She wouldn't listen to me.

She wouldn't leave me alone.

She followed me everywhere.

- Bruno and Adam said they'd talk to her.

- And?

And they told her to stop,

that it was over.

That it was over,

that she was making a fool of herself.

After that, I never saw her again.

You just pushed her away.

- Janie, look, I know I didn't handle this well.

- But what was she doing there?

- Why was she on that road?

- I don't know.

I don't know.

She must have been following me.

I know I should've told you...

but that's just not the easiest thing

to tell your new wife.

But now,

Christ, this whole thing...

It's just so crazy.

Maybe we should get out of here.

Just go back to New York.

What do you think?

Really? Well, what about the shoot?

Screw the job.

I can get another job.

But I will not risk you.

Yes.

[Phone Line Ringing]

[Ringing Continues]

- [Bruno] Hello?

- Hey, man, am I waking you?

No, no. I'm just watching TV.

- What's goin' on?

- I've been thinking about Megumi.

- You know what ever happened to her?

- [TVPlaying]

You know, it's funny.

I saw her the other day.

What? Are you sure?

- Yeah.

- What did she say?

Nothing. She was just on the street.

She was pointing at me,

and I just went the other way.

She kind of creeps me out, man.

- But you were absolutely certain it was her.

- Yeah.

[Jane]

Who are you talking to?

Uh, it's nobody, hon.

I'll be right there.

Bruno, I'm sorry, man.

Can I call you in the morning?

Okay.

[Sighs]

##[Background:
Pop]

If I'd have known

this was necessary...

I would've worn something

a little nicer.

That's gonna be just fine.

I'm a little bit nervous.

Oh, just pretend I'm a customer

at your restaurant.

Ha. I don't usually wait tables

in my underwear.

There's always a first time

for everything.

You've gotta be kidding me.

You wanna be a fashion model.

Your test photos need a little bit of fashion.

Nice.

- Giddyap, cowboy.

- I will.

Look, I'm not gonna keep posing

if you're not gonna take the picture.

Um, I'm gonna keep

taking the pictures.

Um, let's move to the stairs, yeah?

Come on.

All right.

You are seriously beautiful.

[Screaming]

[Phone Ringing]

It's Bruno.

- Hey, man. Uh...

- There's been an accident.

- It's, uh, Adam.

- Oh, God. What kind of accident?

They don't know. Um...

They don't know.

Where are they keeping him?

We'll come right now.

- He's in a hospital in Shinjuku.

- Okay. See you there.

[Beeps]

[Voice Whispering]

[Muffled Sobbing]

[Woman On P.A. Speaking japanese]

- Bruno should've been here.

- Try him again.

[Ringing]

Hello?

Bruno. Look, man,

we really need you down here.

Adam didn't make it.

- [Knocking]

- [TVPlaying]

Bruno?

Bruno.

[Sound Mutes]

Bruno?

Bruno.

[Object Clatters]

Bruno?

[Ben]

Bruno?

- Bruno. Stop.

- [Gasps]

- Bruno! Bruno!

- No! No!

Bruno! Bruno!

- [Thunder Rumbling]

- [People Chattering]

He was cutting up photos.

It's not a coincidence.

I know.

She killed them.

She killed my friends.

- Why them? We're the ones who hit her.

- I don't know.

And we can't stay here.

It must be from Megan.

[Voice Whispering]

Okay. I got the tickets.

We can change them at the counter.

We're not going anywhere.

These pictures were taken

before the crash.

- How can she possibly...

- This isn't about the crash.

She was with us before we got here.

She's been with us all along.

The medium said that spirits

are tied to the flesh.

Even in death.

Ben, we have to find her.

[Ben] Megumi had a house a few hours

outside of Tokyo. We can start there.

[Wind Chimes Tinkling]

[Floorboards Creaking]

[Jane]

Hello?

[Ben Speaking japanese]

Is anyone there?

[Voice Whispering]

[Gasps]

Come on. She's not here.

Let's go.

- [Object Clattering]

- Wait.

Did you hear that?

[Clattering Continues]

- [Clattering Continues]

- Ben.

[Rattles Doorknob]

Come on.

[Clattering Continues]

[Bottles Clink]

Megumi?

[Clattering]

[Fly Buzzing]

[Buzzing]

Megumi?

Megumi.

[Screaming]

[Thunder Rumbling]

[Ben]

Police said Megumi's funeral will be tomorrow.

She'll be cremated.

And then we can go home.

[Bedsprings Creaking]

Jane! Jane.

What's the matter?

- [Out Of Breath]

- Ben?

[Rain Pattering]

Ben, what is it, baby?

- I had a dream. I had a dream.

- Oh.

- Was it a bad dream?

- Just a dream.

[Soft Scraping]

[Scraping Continues]

[Flies Buzzing]

Ben?

- [Coughing, Gagging]

- Ben? Ben!

Ben!

[Gagging]

Ben, it's... Ben!

- [Gasps]

- [Flies Buzzing]

Ben! Ben! Stop! No!

Please! Ben! Ben!

Oh, my God! Oh!

- Ben?

- [Gasps]

Ben?

Get out! Leave us alone!

Do you hear me?

[Gasps]

- [Wind Howling]

- [Gasping, Groaning]

Aaah! Help me!

[Grunting]

Oh, God! He left you

because he never loved you!

[Groans]

Ben!

[Muffled Screams]

[Hushed Laughing]

[Gasps, Coughing]

Oh!

[Coughing]

Oh! I got you.

[Jane Crying]

- Have a safe flight.

- Thank you.

- Bye.

- Take care.

Hey. I'm back.

Janie? I got the cheesecake.

What's goin' on?

Where did you get those?

[Clicking]

Stop.

[Clicking]

- I said stop, Jane.

- What happened?

What did you do to that girl?

- Honey, it's not what you...

- What did you do to her?

Baby, you don't know

what it was like.

She was crazy.

Janie, I didn't know what to do.

She wouldn't stop.

Adam said he had some pills.

Uh, like sleeping pills.

Just a little bit stronger.

One drink.

I just wanted to say that I'm sorry.

[Laughs]

- Kanpai.

- Kanpai.

All we were gonna do

is take pictures.

Then, if she wouldn't stop,

I could use them against her.

I could show them to people at work,

show them to her mother.

It sounded okay

when we talked about it.

- [Megumi] Ben.

- [Bruno] Come on.

- Just let me get a light.

- Come on. What are you waiting for?

- [Megumi] Ben?

- [Bruno] Come on, man! Take the picture.

- Don't leave us hangin'here.

- Ben?

- Ben?

- [Adam] Hey, hey, hey. Easy.

- It's all right.

- It's fun. Don't worry about it.

Hey, it's okay.

Yeah, don't worry about it. It's fine.

- [Shutter Clicking]

- [Bruno] You kiss a cheek too.

- Ben.

- That look good?

[Bruno] No, no, no, no. We're good.

We're good right here.

- [Adam] Great pills.

- [Adam, Bruno Laughing]

[Bruno]

Did you get this?

Come on.

Where you goin'?

- [Sobbing] Ben. Ben!

- [Bruno] Where you goin', man? Come on.

Let's do it on the floor.

- [Bruno] Yeah, you got her?

- [Adam] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sobbing]

[Grunts]

She's strong.

[Laughing]

- [Adam] Aah! That's a girl.

- [Bruno] Adam, hold her down.

- [Sobbing] Ben!

- [Dress Ripping]

- [Bruno] Don't struggle!

- [Megumi Screams]

[Gasping]

Janie, I know it was wrong.

I know I should've done something.

But I didn't touch that girl.

- What?

- I didn't touch her. I just took the pictures.
