Catherine first suspects Nick is behind it, then suspicion moves to his business partner Badge, then to Nick's friends, until Catherine suspects that Nick's first wife Stella, who commited suicide years before, may be behind the occurrences which she may be committing from either beyond the grave, or by a time vortex within the apartment itself which may have let to her suicide in the first place.

If that'll make you happy.

I gotta go.

Come on, Daisy, you can do it.

You don't need this.

Don't make me chase you.

You make me feel so wanted.

You are.

Does the brace turn you off?

No, no. Leave it.

It turns me on.

Oh, Stella!

- What did you say?

- What?

F*** you, Charlie.

What are you doing?

You should be in bed.

I'm just looking for something.

What is it?

It's an old recipe from Europe.

Light years ahead

of anything those

high-priced quacks

can come up with.

I don't want it.

Come on, don't be silly.

Drink it.

What's in it?

Lt'll lift you up.

Maybe you should

get out of this place.

I thought you said I belonged here.

That was yesterday.

It's open. Come up.

Catherine, are you feeling better?

I'm okay.

- Can I talk to you

- Yeah, sure.

What's all this?

Quantum mechanics.

Could mean we've been here before.

I've never been here before.

There's a theory that

those strange feelings we get

of having been somewhere before

are true.

I believe it.

Well not actually before,

but that's what I'm working on.

- This is what you do here all day?

- Yeah.

The theory suggests the past

may not be before the present,

it could be parallel to it.

We think of it as the past

because we created the idea

of time being chronological.

Well, the past is the past

as far as I'm concerned.

Charlie, I found Stella's diary.

Stella kept a diary?

What's in it?

She wrote about a man

she'd been seeing.

- Has Nick seen this diary?

- No.

There's something else,

she said that Nick

was seeing someone too.

She'd seen the woman with him

in our apartment.

Who was she?

What would you think if I said

the woman in the diary

could be you?

Me?

I might think you were crazy.

I didn't know Nick then.

I'm not talking about

then and now.

There's a lot we don't know.

I do know about Nick and Badge.

Nick told me everything.

About how they used

to see each other.

It was just one of those things,

Catherine.

Look, I know Nick wants

to put this behind him.

So why drag it all up now?

Charlie, who was Buddy?

Buddy?

No idea.

Catherine.

Let it go.

It's better for everyone.

Especially you.

Sh*t, the line's still busy.

She's supposed to be there.

Daisy's a flake.

Look at this.

And it's in the country,

just like you wanted.

Nick, who is Buddy?

Buddy? Buddy who, Buddy Holly?

Don't you have an old friend

called Buddy?

No.

- Charlie?

- Yeah, look.

I gotta go, I'm running late.

I'm on my way right out the door.

All right.

I tried to call you a couple times

last night.

Last night?

I switched off the phone,

I was working on

some new software

Didn't get

much sleep.

I'm sorry about what happened.

Charlie, I love you.

Me, too.

Yeah, what you said.

Me, too.

Look, I gotta a couple

of important

things to do. I'll call you

this afternoon, okay? Bye.

Bye.

Rise and shine.

Daisy?

Daisy, it's me.

Are you okay?

Why the mess?

Charlie's lying to me.

About what?

Everything.

So you're not moving in together?

No, I guess that was never

part of the plan.

I guess he's never going to commit.

Oh, Daisy.

Come on, you can't stay here

like this.

Come stay with us for a while.

No, I'm all right. I...

Daisy,

I want you to stay.

Oh, my God,

how'd you get that bruise?

Something happened

in the apartment.

- What?

- Someone...

something was in there.

I think.

You think?

Well, I'm starting to doubt myself.

Nick doesn't believe me.

He thinks there's

something wrong with me,

that I'm imagining things.

It happened after I found

her diary. Stella's diary.

And then it disappeared and...

God, I don't know.

Maybe I am going crazy.

No you're not.

Trust your instincts.

I think...

I know it's got something

to do with Stella.

Daisy, I think she's alive.

Catherine, you know

that's not possible.

You've been listening

- to Charlie's time warp bullshit.

- Is it bullshit?

Okay, I think

that I should come and stay

for a while.

I could use a friend.

You said Stella's diary

went missing, right?

All the time I've been living there,

I've never seen the diary before.

So the big question is,

who put it there?

Someone deliberately put the diary

on the shelf for me to find.

Yeah, but I mean after that.

Is it possible that Nick took it?

Think about it.

The locks have been changed, right?

Who else could it be?

I mean, who?

Badge?

Why would she do that?

You know what this music

reminds me of?

I'm not sure I want to know.

It reminds me of Stella.

Okay, what do you say

we change the subject, Charlie?

So what's it like

having two women in your place?

It was Catherine's idea to have

Daisy stay with us, not mine.

Are you sure?

You sure it wasn't Badge's idea?

Man you've got an evil mind.

Come on, you never thought about

having two gals together?

Thanks, ma'am.

Thank you.

- Beatrice Mller collection.

- Catherine!

- You gotta come up here right now.

- Daisy, what is it?

- Listen.

- What's going on?

Listen, I think I know

who your intruder is.

Daisy!

Catherine, what is it?

Daisy!

Hey, what's going on?

Daisy fell!

Fell? She could have been pushed.

Pushed by who?

She was alone.

You don't know that, Mr. Girard.

Where was your wife?

- Catherine was with me.

- And where's Mrs. Girard now?

She went out.

She was a little hysterical.

Catherine.

Mrs. Girard.

Daisy didn't

kill herself.

How do you know?

I'm responsible.

Catherine, you were with me.

Just what are you saying,

Mrs. Girard?

I'm saying she didn't jump,

she was pushed.

Stella.

That S could stand for suicide.

- She wouldn't write that.

- Stop it.

Please, now this is absurd.

You're just feeling guilty.

It's my fault.

Charlie, have you been

following me?

I want to help you.

They all think I'm crazy.

Nick, Badge, the police...

Probably you.

I can explain what's been happening.

Explain away.

- The Philadelphia Experiment...

- Yeah, a science fiction movie.

No, the real thing.

In 1942 the Navy

accidentally discovered...

created a worm hole.

A what?

Einstein called them bridges.

Passageways in the fabric

of 4-dimensional space-time.

Charlie, what are you

talking about?

I was involved in

the Montauk Project,

research into the findings

of the Philadelphia Experiment.

They were trying

to create a way to warp

space-time bringing two points,

two events

together.

All the claims about

traveling through time

are consequences

of basic scientific

laws and quantum mechanics.

Charlie, my best friend just died

and you're telling me a story

about worm holes?

I don't understand.

Catherine, listen.

We both know

who killed Daisy.

Can I help you, miss?

Yes, I'd like to buy a gun.

No "problemo".

Revolver or automatic?

- A revolver, I think.

- What caliber?

Caliber?

You do have a permit.

- Sorry?

- A pistol permit. I can't sell you

anything without it.

I thought I'd just buy the gun

and then register it later.

You planning on using it

on a gun range?
