Thank you.

Your God could not hide you from me.

And your God cannot protect you now

that I have found you.

This morning.

It's summer vacation.

You know, lazy days of summer.

Lazy days.

I'll remember that. Now get your buttons and do your breakfast.

Why do I have to do chores?

We just got here.

And half our stuff is still in boxes.

Trust me, it won't kill you to do some chores even on your vacation.

I thought you said breakfast was ready.

No, I said it was time for you to eat breakfast.

Lily, please. You're 15 years old. You can make your own breakfast.

You know, Cynthia's mother always makes her breakfast.

Shut up, Lily.

Cynthia is a big bitch. We both know it. And Cynthia's mother is an idiot.

It's like living in the slums.

And I always hear weird noises.

What kind of noises?

You know, noises.

Sometimes it sounds like someone's knocking at the door.

And you want me to come to the whole house.

Clean Mom's room.

Clean your own room, Mom.

I have to.

Cynthia.

Did you find anybody?

No. It's just a stupid house.

Oh, it's haunted.

Maybe a crackhead died there. Or the ghost of your mother's boyfriend has

followed you.

Shut up.

Well, there have been a lot of men.

Maybe it is haunted.

Get off that haunted thing.

I've got to clean up after my swab mother.

Now's your chance to snoop around.

How long until she gets back?

Um, a couple hours at least.

I gotta go.

Oh my god.

Are you okay?

I think you had a bad dream.

Everything's fine. Everything's okay.

You're okay.

Everything's okay.

You're going to be okay.

How are you feeling, sweetie?

Better?

This house worries me.

You just relax and sip your tea.

Remember, it's going to shake you up.

Thank you, by the way. You did a wonderful job on the house.

My room especially.

One question.

Why did you place your father's picture face down on the dresser?

Did something set you?

Honestly, I don't remember doing that.

I'm positive I didn't.

Oh, hell, it could have fallen when I was running around this morning.

Were you okay?

Would she tell me the story of you and my father again?

It always makes me feel better.

have an idea.

Let's play a game.

I'll set the story and you begin Rand, okay?

I had a terrible crush on him.

But she never dated in high school.

You met again at a party while he was on leave from the Marine Corps.

We spent his entire leave together. We were inseparable.

He proposed three days before he had to go to Afghanistan.

He bought you a beautiful ring.

And you spent your last three days together at his parents' cabin.

Making love.

That's when I was created.

That's when I was created.

Yes, that's when you were created.

When your father left, he put me in charge of all the wedding plans. I

everything.

Your father... Philip.

Yes, Philip.

He wrote me every day.

That man could write a letter.

And she wrote him back.

Every day.

Oh, yes.

My father treated you like a princess.

And he was your king.

He was my king.

One day the letter stopped.

I became very worried.

I received a letter saying that he had been injured and was calling to Germany

for treatment.

He tried to go see him, but the wedding plans had taken all your money.

But then, a letter, a long one, came from my father.

He wrote about love and being in heaven together.

Yes. Yes.

That's what I knew he wasn't coming back to me.

The next day the call came.

Philip James McCall had died.

Today was a good day.

Don't get too many of them.

Louie did a good job on the house while we were gone.

This house may have been a mistake.

Lily wants to hear the story about her dad.

She's a little upset.

We can blame her.

I wonder if I'll ever be able to tell her.

No way.

No way that pawn moved.

Maybe Cynthia's right.

This place is haunted.

Yeah, you stay right there.

Don't move again.

Pawns. You gotta keep an eye on them all the time.

Stand up, Saw.

Look at your future.

See yourself.

See your tomorrow.

This is your penalty for your betrayal.

I'm so busy lately.

You didn't change last night.

I got my pajamas out. I just never got them on.

I'm going to go get some breakfast.

Wait! Just wait a second.

Do I look old?

I mean, do I look older than normal?

Are you sure you're okay?

I'm fine. Just answer the question.

You're beautiful.

You just... Just what?

Just what? You're more beautiful when you're nice than when you're mean and

angry.

Okay, this is crazy.

We really have a ghost.

Okay, ghost, you want to play?

Let's play.

Okay, ghost, it's your turn.

To call Cynthia.

Okay, Mr. Ghost.

Or Mrs. Ghost.

I hope you can play.

I'm pretty good.

I'm a demon speeding.

I'm a demon speeding.

opening, Mr. Ghost.

You know, God, I loved Philip.

I loved him more than any other man I ever knew.

He was everything to me.

When he died, my God, I thought the world was going to end.

my fault would happen.

I need it one last time.

I just want it one last time.

You're very aggressive, Mr. Ghost.

Maybe Cynthia was right.

Maybe I do need to do some research.

Oh my god.

It's real.

probably left that bomb.

Lily!

Lily, are you in there?

I'm glad you're playing the game.

But I think you castled too soon.

Who are you playing chess with?

Yes, I'm in your room.

Hi, Mom.

Hi, Mom.

Aren't you going to say, what are you doing in my room? Don't I deserve some

privacy in my own room?

Well, I guess I'm ensuring.

Who are you playing chess with?

Um, oh, Cynthia.

Phone chest.

She's not very good.

Well, I hope you're white, because black is about to lose.

Really?

I hadn't noticed.

But you're right. I am white.

I'll have to study it after she moves.

Well, I'd like to win as quick as possible.

Oh yes, I almost forgot.

We need to talk about your birthday.

And you're getting me a car.

Not exactly.

I know all your friends are back in the city, and I thought perhaps you and I

could go for dinner and a movie.

And presents, right?

Yes, and presents.

Pam, you're mercenary about presents.

I don't know what that means.

But I hope it means expensive.

Tonight I have to go back into town.

I'm going to do some shopping at the mall.

For my presents?

I'll be home late.

With presents?

Don't forget the presents!

Lily, be good while I'm gone.

okay, I'll play the game.

You're a pushy ghost.

I'm going to tell you so when I find a way to talk to you.

Hear me?

I've always been able to hear you, Lily.

I've watched you since the day you were born.

Please, don't be afraid.

I won't harm you.

That's what they always say.

And then they do.

Who are they?

You know.

In the movies?

But isn't that what movies are for?

To frighten you.

I'm here to protect you.

I've always been here to protect you.

Protect me?

Protect me from what?

There are those who would hurt you.

Even now, they begin to plot.

I promise.

To explain soon.

Hurt me?

But why?

Your birthday is in two days.

May I tell you then?

Okay.

But why?

I want to wait until you are a woman.

You're funny for a ghost.

My mother would think that's funny.

Lily, might we keep our meeting secret?

Will you bring me a present?

Blackmail. You're quite smart for a young lady.

But yes, I'll bring you a present.

You bastard.

I will never, never give myself to

you.

This is your mother.

What am I going to do for money?

I can ask my mother. Your mother?

Mothers protect mothers.

She'd call my mom, and then I'd really get a beating.

You're going to get beat anyway.

How many times has that bitch hit you since Steve left?

I don't know.

A lot.

And before that, it was Keith, right?

it was Jimmy.

And Jimmy could hit hard.

I wish I could help you.

Maybe after school starts and you're back in town.

You know, somehow I think it'll all be okay.

You are the strangest.

Seriously.

Crying one minute, now everything is okay.

daughter has abandoned you.

She is beginning to see your face.

She begins to see you for what you really are.

She is becoming a woman.

Her eyes are opening.

You have

lost her.

At first I couldn't get you to stop knocking.

Now you won't even talk to me?

You won't find much in there about me.

Why?

They don't have much on stubborn ghosts in there?

I'm here.

I'm listening.

Thank you.

You say you watch me, right?

Yes, I did.

And I do.

Do you know what's wrong with my mother?

Yes.

Well?

What's wrong with her?

She's haunted by an oath she made with a terrible evil long ago.

What evil?

I must tell you tomorrow, when he turns 16.

That's all I've ever heard.

When you're older, when you're older, when you're older.

You sound like my mother.

You're just like your father.

So very impatient.

What do you know about my father?

I'll tell you all I know about your father.

Tomorrow.

When he turns 16.

Not before.

I am here to protect you.

Whether you understand it or not.

Where is that woman?

From the looks of things, she's too drunk to drive.

Mom?

Happy birthday, Lily.

My mother's just in the other room. If I were you, I'd get the hell out of here.

Happy birthday.

Mr. Ghost?

Phillip. My name is Phillip.

But you, young lady, can call me Dad.

Many years ago.

Every time.

You called.

I came.

Everything.

You asked for.

I supplied.

How long have I been here?

Nine. Not as long as you will be.

Why am I here?

What do you want from me?

Please talk to me.

You asked me to kill.

You wanted money, beauty,

and revenge.

And I gave you everything.

I don't remember.

You gave me your soul many years

ago.

And now you run.

Now you refuse.

And now you turn away.

You will ease.

You will decay.

And you will lose everything.

No. No.

No.

No. I will make it. I promise.

I promise. I swear to God.

I'm glad to see you're awake.

I thought you would sleep your whole birthday away.

My birthday?

Where are we?

This is my home.

My world.

But where are we?

I'm on the other side of life.

Am I dead?

You're not dead, my child.

And in many ways, neither am I.

See, I live.

I don't die.

It's all beautiful.

Thank you.

I make a wish and blow them all out at once.

Do you know what I wish for?

What do you do?

Have some presents.

Now promise me you will never let your mother see these presents.

It could be dangerous for her.

Danger?

How?

We'll explain later. Agreed?

Yes, I agree.

Grandmother left me that doll.

So I give it to my daughter.

Thank you.

I love it.

It was taken the day I left for Iraq.

All this time.

All this time without you.

Promise me.

Promise me never again.

You can't make that promise.

Only you can.

For your protection.

Protection?

From evil.

Your mother's evil.

She's possessed by evil.

I believe you.

That actually explains all the questions I've had growing up.

You look like a... Where are you going?

I'm going out with friends.

Just like that?

Well, Lily, don't you think your mother deserves to have a little fun now and

then? Of course.

I was just wondering what kind of fun.

Normally you tell me when you're leaving.

I was late.

And I didn't know where you were. I was going to call you later.

But what about my birthday?

You missed it.

I'm very sorry about that. I had a very bad day.

I promise to make it up to you tomorrow.

Anything you want, okay?

Okay.

And presents?

Yes, you'll get your damn presents. But for now, I'm late. We will celebrate

tomorrow.

I can't wait till tomorrow.

Me too.

Goddammit, I'm late!

He says I'll have my beauty forever.

He'll give me money and eternity.

I've given my soul to him.

I hope it was the right decision.

Father was right.

Oh my God.

Steve has become abusive towards me.

I've asked my benefactor to kill Steve.

It's just like with Michael and Henry.

to read on.

The benefactor has asked me to bury my son.

Lily's in the way.

She's always in the way.

He's told me what I must do about her now.

What will I find in the box?

You have to teach yourself.

If I tell you, you'll never have peace of mind.

But I'm afraid.

Did you have a nice time?

Lily.

What are you doing up so late?

I was worried.

So I stayed up.

Fine. Thank you.

Now you can go to your room and go to sleep.

I asked if you had a good time.

Lily, for the last time, go to your room and go to sleep.

You get your ass in your room, and I mean right now.

Did you find some stranger to fuck?

Watch your mouth, you little brat.

sell it to your room.

You know.

come to give myself to you.

I offer you this body.

You come on your own free will?

I surrender myself, Master.

I have come to give you your son.

bitch? Does she live?

She lives, Lord. I couldn't... You have disobeyed me for the last time.

I will obey you, Lord. I will.

Please, Lord, take my body and I will give you a son.

Mercy for you.

Please, Lord, please don't harm me.

I will kill her.

You kill the girl.

I'll be young again

What are you going to do to me?

I am going to brave you.

You will create many sons.

But that is what we do.

What the hell?

What the hell?
