We Go On Page #3

Synopsis: Paralyzed by his fear of dying, Miles Grissom takes out an advert offering 30000 dollars in reward money to the first person who can show him evidence of an angel, a demon, or prove that ghosts exist - anything to prove to him that we go on after our deaths. He narrows the responses down to three viable candidates - a scientist, a medium, and a worldly entrepreneur. Along with his protective mother, he embarks on an adventure through Los Angeles that will spiral into an unthinkable nightmare.

Really?

Really.

You don't hope

for anything else?

No.

So you wouldn't want to

see Dad again?

I think everything should end,

no matter how good.

Enough is enough.

It's ugly to beg for more.

(utensils clanking)

Josefina?

Uh, you answered my ad.

We tried to call ahead,

but your line was dead.

We didn't mean to scare you.

Honestly.

We thought the address

you gave us

was your home address.

It is.

Upstairs.

This way.

(whispering)

Should we...

Si.

Please, sit.

Sit, please, sit.

Can I ask, why were you

so surprised to see us?

I know there are many like me.

Spirit talkers, however you say.

(Charlotte)

There are.

And the good ones in Brentwood

charge 195 an hour.

Not that they wouldn't take

30 grand, don't get me wrong.

Why do you come to me instead?

Well, the others do it

for a living.

They always seem

very much about career.

Um, I... I never

saw my ability

as something with...

with money value, but then...

I did see

your advertisement... Oh!

Whoa.

Forgive me, please,

I'm sorry, I...

It's okay.

Look, I like that you're

not from a hipster office

in Venice Beach.

Everyone else is selling

the dead relative thing,

and I don't want messages.

They don't feel like proof.

Maybe just intuition,

but you're- ...

(Speaking Spanish)

Silencio!

Before, when she whispered

to you, what did she say?

She asked if I could

see you, too.

Why would she ask that?

Why do you think?

I'm sorry, I... I should

have offered a drink.

Um, tea?

(Charlotte)

Stop, honey.

You want to tell me

what you're on?

What?

I... I don't...

What drugs you're on.

No.

I don't do that.

Senor, you didn't say

there would be two of you.

Sorry, I was just

trying to help.

Well, she's my mother,

I'm sorry.

She must not be here

for our meditation.

A skeptic looking on

will spoil any chance...

He's a skeptic, too.

That's why he's here.

But he wants to believe.

The difference is everything.

No!

Hey, hey!

Hey!

Th... They are

really bad right now.

They don't like

that you're here.

Do you see more people

in here than I do?

I have many spirits

tethered to me.

You have...

Ghost.

Many ghost.

You never mentioned this

in your video...

I never mentioned.

A haunting is a lonely thing.

No one else can see

what you see,

even the people you love

would call you... crazy.

That's why I never mentioned,

because why tell

what I cannot show?

So you're going to show me

a vision of my own death?

Si.

But not your death in this life.

The last time you died.

How many times have I died?

Closer.

By looking at you,

I think... many.

When does it start?

It's happening already.

Breathe.

I will pass it to you.

Um, this feels

a little intimate.

What you're searching for

is an intimate thing.

Look at me.

(gasps) Oh, my

God, are you okay?

No!

Oh, no, no!

(Speaking Spanish)

They will not allow it.

Oh, my God.

There are so many.

(muttering)

Por favor!

Okay, I think... I think,

I think we're done.

Did she touch you?

What is going on?

Let's just go, let's just go.

(Josephine speaking Spanish)

It's over, hon.

It didn't work.

Who's Bill?

I don't know any Bills.

Yes, Bill.

He's showing me his neck.

He suffocated.

He's warning you

to stop your mission now.

My father was William,

but he didn't suffocate.

He died in car crash,

so I don't know why...

No one called him Bill, no one.

It isn't him, it isn't anyone.

Wait!

Don't go!

I really hope you get better.

Wait!

(horn blaring)

We can see

the third guy tomorrow.

Mr. World-Traveler

Sexy-Phone-Voice lives here?

We're early.

Hey, what are you doing?

That's private.

Looking for butter-scotches.

I don't have any.

Get out of there.

Holy sh*t!

Is that a tiny gun?

Do you have a tiny gun in here?

Wow.

This would be almost adorable

if it wasn't an instrument

of death in my mother's purse.

It's a purse gun.

What am I supposed to do?

Take sh*t...

Mom, wait... just...

Hold on a sec, Mom.

(seatbelt unbuckles)

I'll be right back.

Don't shoot anyone.

Brian?

Dude!

Oh!

I haven't seen you

since graduation.

How are you, brother?

I'm, uh, good.

You?

Yeah, I'm good, good.

Great, actually, yeah.

You still doing the...

The special effects, yeah,

I'm still in it.

I got my own little company,

and it's actually

not so little anymore.

So, do you live

around here or just...

Nah, once in a blue moon,

I get the opportunity

to do a real-life set up.

You mean like...

Yeah, real-life

special effects, man.

Real life scares.

I got all my holograms

back in here,

and this guy up the way

is paying some stacks

to do some real crazy stuff.

He's got this small box, right?

He's making it out

to be Tibetan...

It's good to see you.

(munching)

There are 12 still

in the "Maybe" category.

I say we wake up tomorrow,

we make pancakes...

No.

Why keep looking?

I mean...

Be happy.

Hmph.

This is what you wanted to find.

Or not find.

I don't know.

If there's nothing after we die,

well, I guess...

I always liked that it means...

no one's watching.

It means no one's been

watching this whole time.

It means no fate,

no destiny,

no... specific stuff

I was supposed to get done

while I was here.

Best of all...

no one waiting at the end,

you know, to...

judge me.

That's what really

scares me, Miles.

Because, um...

I'm ashamed of more stuff

than I'm proud of.

And I don't want to be

judged, I really don't.

That...

That scares me so bad.

I'd rather it all be a blip

that means nothing to no one.

Because I think I failed.

I know I failed him.

But hey, somewhere

along the way,

I guess your, uh, hope

is kind of catching.

It would be good

to see him again.

(Typing on keyboard)

(Ronald)

Welcome back.

I am just chomping

at the bit here

to share with you,

our very latest model,

the Vacu-Tak 80...

Ready.

(cell phone beeps)

(man on voice-mail) So you

don't believe in ghosts, huh?

Well, you should.

They're everywhere.

I can show you, I think.

Yeah, I'm with one

right now, a dead lady,

says you've seen her

already in the...

in the grandfather clock.

She died in that place.

(phone beeps)

(keys jangle)

(exhales)

(engine starts)

(gears shift loudly)

(brakes squeal)

(emergency brake ratchets)

(muttering)

Come on, come on.

Oh, come on, come on,

come on, come on.

Don't do this.

Don't do this, Miles.

Come on, man, you've got this.

You've got it.

Come on!

(breathing raggedly)

Okay.

Okay, Okay,

Okay.

Come on.

Um...

(gears shift)

(engine revs)

(man on voice-mail) If you're intrigued,

maybe we should meet, you know?

Don't have a phone.

Don't like them.

This one's actually

borrowed, but...

You can find me most mornings

in Vista Del Mar Park, near LAX.

I take my walks there

every day, 6:
00 am.

(jet passing overhead)

Hello.

Hello?

(let approaching)

You get used to it!

It's hard to believe.

Do you work here?

Yeah.

I work the runways.

You know, clean the tarmac,

change the light bulbs.
