You don't give me that impression.

What impression do I give?

That of a strange guy, who makes

calls in the middle of the

just to attract your attention?

Thanks.

What about your husband?

Jeremy was an idealist.

He thought that medicine

could change the world.

Up into the moment he joined

an organization abroad.

- Where?

- Central Africa.

That's when he started drinking.

He used to say the politics of food

and medical aid was a

It's not fun to talk about.

All I know is that

I'm tired, old, ugly.

You may be tired,

but you're not old...

and you are certainly not ugly.

In fact, I'd be happy to tell you

how you're beautiful

OK, it's a deal.

Would you like to come in for a drink?

I don't think I should.

I had a really good time tonight.

Come on, if we hurry

we can catch the bus.

- Don't you want to go with my bike?

- Yeah, right. I don't

Mom, do you like Marc?

He seems like a nice person.

Do you like him?

Let's hurry.

Hello, stranger.

- How are you, Kathy?

- I'm fine, thanks.

Come and see me when you're ready.

I'm sorry, I'm in a rush.

IOTA:

CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES.

Frank called me.

Your battery was flat,

probably the humidity.

Thanks for come to get me.

I couldn't have taken a bus.

It's not a problem. I finished early.

Music?

There's something I should tell you.

My stay here might be

My boss in Europe overestimated

the extent of the work here

and I have a new assignement

in another country.

And you accept it?

I told them...

I hadn't made up my mind yet.

I see. Well, we'll miss you.

My beautiful babys!

I missed you!

They had a great time.

Thank you.

Mom, can Marc have dinner with us?

Well, what about aunt Sue

and uncle Al?

- Sure.

- No. Thanks.

I guess we just want

to go back home, right?

- Any time...

- Bye.

The man taking your place,

is he going to be as nice as you?

Well...

What's his name?

I don't know. It's not official yet.

Right, send us a post card.

We don't want you to leave.

- Shut up, Fiona.

- You shut up.

You guys, what's wrong with you?

Nothing.

Nothing at all.

Look, there's no reason why

Marc can't still be our friend.

- Maybe I should talk to him.

- Sure, that'd be nice.

He won't talk to me.

He doesn't want you to leave.

You know, Kathy...

I've been traveling around the world

for too long now.

I wouldn't mind settling down...

for a good reason.

What is it?

Nothing. I'm sorry.

I just can't.

Mommy?

Mommy?

Cut it out, Fergus. Just cut it out.

Mommy!

It's OK, sweetheart. Go back to bed.

555-0167 O'Brian.

It just goes dead.

Are you sure?

And there's no new number?

Thank you.

Oh, hell, Jeremy! It's the O'brian's!

Sh*t! I don't have my bag.

Oh my God! It's Fergus!

He stopped breathing.

Out of the way.

You are OK.

Fergus?

Mrs. Macfarlane.

I'm glad to see you.

I'm afraid I can't say the same.

I quit the hotel,

I wasn't good for that job.

I heard you came looking for me.

Tell the truth, Fergus.

You're the one who's been calling me.

Twelve fifteen precisely,

every night.

That's not some kind of joke,

frightening people like that.

I was doing a friend a favour.

- What friend?

- Dr. Macfarlane, of course.

That's not funny.

He asked me to contact you

to tell you...

- Stop!

- He wants you to...

Hey, there!

I'm going to have a word

with your mother.

Mrs. Macfarlane.

Well this is such a pleasant surprise!

Please, do come in

and I'll give you some coffee.

No, I'm fine. Thank you.

How long has it been?

Five years.

My God, how time flies. What brought

you into the

I'm actually here

to talk to you about Fergus.

My son, Fergus?

What about him?

I don't know why.

But I thought you should know...

Fergus has been calling me almost

every night, for the past

Are you allright, Mrs. Macfarlane?

Yes, why?

Fergus is dead.

Been dead for six months.

You should know that.

Kathy.

CERTIFICATE OF DEATH

HOUR OF DEATH:

12:
15 AM.

I'm scared.

Allright, come here.

It's just a rain, guys.

Don't worry, it's fine.

What's up?

We're going to aunt Isabel.

What? Now?

Yes, right away.

Get your coats on, quick.

- It's a storm.

- Just do as I say.

I'm not going.

Yes, you're. I'm your mother,

now get in the car.

Let's go, mommy.

Damn it!

Take your foot off the gas.

Stop!

Kathy, no!

This is crazy!

You can't leave me!

I'll find you!

I'll find you, Kathy.

Wherever you go, I'll find you!

What the hell are you doing?

Slow down!

What's going on?

- Where is Isabel?

- Inside, come on, get in.

What's going on?

Do you know the phone calls

I've been getting at 12:15 am?

It's Jeremy's time of death, 12:15!

Yeah, some crank

at the record's office...

No, Isabel.

Jeremy died the night I'd left him.

This kid, Fergus, came back

from the dead to tell me

Kathy, you're so stressed out.

He's making the phone calls

because he owes Jeremy a

The dead don't make phone calls,

honey.

Why don't you let the kids

stay with us for a while?

Yes, they need protection.

This isn't the way to do.

You're scaring the hell out of them.

He said he'd come after us

no matter where we were.

Honey, that's not going to happen.

The dead don't scare me.

Just couch potatoes do that.

Lte's go make up the rooms.

I knew you'd finally come.

Come on.

I can't believe

this is happening to me.

Maybe I'm going crazy.

No, you're not. I promise you.

Now I want you to try and see

this from another perspective.

Maybe death doesn't really exist.

Maybe it's just a gateway

to another reality.

But I'm a scientist, Dora.

I only believe in things

that can be proven.

Try and see this exeprience...

as a blessing.

A very few people

get this opportunity.

You told me...

that the bellboy said he thought

he was doing Jeremy a

I think that your Jeremy

sent Fergus to talk to you...

because he wanted to talk

to you himself but he couldn't.

I think he's in a lot of pain!

Jeremy doesn't exist. I buried him.

He's just dirt and worms.

We're going to try a contact.

Just goig to try. Just try.

Don't be scared.

I want you to put your hands

flat down on the table...

I want you to relax.

Breath from here.

Slowly...

And in... two... that's it.

Relax, relax. There you go.

One... two... three... four...

Out.

Two... three... four...

In.

Two, three, four.

I want you...

to open yourself up to Jeremy.

Open yourself...

I'm sorry.

No, I can't.

Jeremy needs you to forgive him,

Kathy.

I'm just confused, that's all.

I shouldn't have come in, Dora.

You have got to forgive him

for your own piece of mind.

You've got to throw out the bad

stuff and focus on the good

Yes, the good moments.

Look for the signs, Kathy.

Look for the signs.

A scotch, please.

Make that two.

I'm expecting someone.

I need to know what it feels like.

Stop pretending you quit drinking.

Where have you been?

Kathy? It's Marc.

Happy Birthday.

Anybody at home?

I came looking for the kids earlier,

but...

I brought something for them.

They're at Isabel's house

for a few days.
