Excuse me, everybody.

The time has come to...

Ann has finally succumbed to my pleading,

and we're getting married. We're officially engaged.

No!

Hey, guys, let's get out of here.

Hi, Mr. Culley.

Mr. Jensen.

Okay. I'm back.

man. Someone let in a big alien.

You can't get me.

There's some monster action going on here.

Just a little.

I got you three sets of keys.

You should keep one in the kitchen,

one in your bedroom,

and one maybe with a neighbor you feel comfortable with.

Aye, aye, captain.

Hey, that's not funny.

I called my painter, by the way.

He's going to be here at 9:30 tomorrow morning

with some paint selections,

because this place is dull.

I'd like to live in a house for a while

before I change the color.

Okay. I'll cancel him.

Do what you want.

I made reservations

at la Luna for dinner.

Tonight?

Yeah. 8:00.

You guys need a break, you know.

I need to stay home tonight, Charles.

I'd like to get settled.

Okay, fine.

Then we'll order in.

Listen, Charles.

I'm tired.

It's Cory's first day at school tomorrow.

Why don't we just do this another time?

So we're back to that, are we?

Charles, don't do that.

What?

The same argument: We're not dating. We're just friends.

This is convenient for you.

You get me to help you find this place,

and then poof, it's back to the friendship thing.

I didn't ask you to help US.

You just went ahead

and did it on your own.

Well, howdy, little partner.

How you doing?

I'm the local welcome wagon.

Mom.

Hi.

Hi. I'm Sally beckert.

I live down the street.

I thought I'd come over

and make you feel welcome to the neighborhood.

How do you do? My name is Michelle duprey.

Hi, Michelle.

And you're?

Charles Jensen.

I'm Michelle's friend.

Nice to meet you.

I made you all some chocolate chip cookies.

She doesn't eat chocolate.

Thank you very much.

That was very nice of you.

You know what?

I'm out of here. Bye.

Hey,

take a cookie.

Yeah, thanks. I will.

It'll be my dinner.

Charles... Charles.

Cory, stay on the porch.

Charles, wait up.

Michelle,

can I share something with you?

Yes.

There is something...

There is something very wrong with the yin and the Yang

in this room.

The couch...

The couch is at an odd angle.

Listen,

are you familiar

with the eight life aspirations in the pakua?

When's the next hockey game?

Not for a couple weeks, buddy.

You said you were going to bring me a team shirt, number 36.

I will... the next time I see you, okay?

Now, look, why don't you... Why don't you take this.

But don't tell your mother I gave it to you. Okay?

See you, buddy.

It is this totally fabulous book on feng shui.

I'm going to bring it by later this week, okay?

Great.

Bye, kiddo. Thank you.

Mom, Charles said he was going to bring me a team shirt.

Great.

Isn't that nice.

Mr. Culley,

I forgot to ask you.

I need another phone Jack

upstairs for my modem.

Is it all right if I call the telephone company?

No, now, I'll have my son, Bobby, handle it.

He does odd jobs.

Great. Thanks.

That's very kind of you.

Welcome to the neighborhood,

Ms. Duprey.

We've been looking for the right tenant for a long time.

Sure glad we found you.

Thanks.

Cory, come on.

Mommy! Mommy!

Baby, what is it?

There's something in my closet.

Well, maybe it's Mr. Astro.

No, Mr. Astro went to pluto with calico Jim.

Well, honey, this is a different house,

and it makes noises we're not used to.

Can I stay with you for a few minutes?

Sure.

Come on.

That's good.

Cory?

Cory?

Cory?

Hey, what are you doing up here?

Setting up my play room.

Well, honey, you can do that after school.

Come on.

You don't want to be late your first day.

Hurry, hurry.

Okay.

We're here, sweetie.

I don't want to go. I don't know anybody.

Well, you're not going to meet anybody by staying here,

are you?

Come on, old grumpy grumps.

You're going to like this.

It'll be fun.

Cory, we're going to be eating soon,

so don't forget to wash up.

Hi.

You're kind of popular here.

I'd pick them up, but my hands are full.

Come on in.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot.

No card.

God, I'm jealous.

You've been here a week,

you already got a secret admirer.

I've been here six months.

I haven't had any action at all.

I think I know who it's from.

Here's this book I was telling you about... feng shui.

Fabulous.

And then I brought you this a little goodie.

You didn't have to do all this.

I know. I just wanted to.

Look at that.

Did you paint this? - huh.

I paint angels all the time.

I love the little darlings.

It's terrific. Have you ever shown?

No.

I'm not ready yet, I don't think.

Well, I don't know what to say.

Thank you very much.

You're welcome.

You want to stay for dinner?

That is the best offer I've had all week.

Great. A glass of wine?

You bet.

God, am I glad you're here.

I finally got someone to talk to.

You know, I have been here for six months,

and nobody has said squat to me.

Really? Thank you.

They're all too busy

with their careers.

What business are you in?

I'm a medical researcher.

I'm on a year's sabbatical to write my book.

DNA, that's my specialty.

Wha-hoo.

DNA? You mean, like cloning DNA?

Um-

Holy.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Hello, who is this?

That's the third time today.

Well, why don't you do what I do

and get that star 69 thing, you know that?

Then you can call them right back.

Well, that's a good idea.

You bet.

I will get it this time.

All right,

you no-good, dirt bag, full-of-hot-air...

This is Charles.

Hi, Charles.

Is Michelle there?

Charles.

Who was that?

That was Sally.

The one with the cookies.

Yes.

Look, I don't feel right about this afternoon.

Can we talk?

Yes.

I said I cared about you.

I know you said...

But I need you to commit to me.

I don't think I'm prepared to do that.

And why not? We're more than just friends.

If you can't handle this,

then maybe we shouldn't see each other any more.

Cut the crap.

I won't listen to this.

I'm going to hang up.

We're two adults.

Can't we just have a conversation?

I'm hanging up, Charles.

Michelle...

Would you watch the sauce?

I don't like it here.

I want to go home.

But this is our home, honey.

I don't like it when you fight with Charles.

You know something?

Neither do I.

But come here.

Do you know

who the very best man in my life is?

Who?

Um.

I think his name begins with a "c."

Who could that be?

Me?

Yeah.

How about a smile?

Look at that smile. Look at that.

that was great. Thanks a lot.

Listen, let me know

what you think about that book, okay?

I will. Thanks for everything, Sally.

Bye.

Bye.

Good-looking boy.

Thank you.

Aren't they great at that age?

So innocent.

Hey, what is he, about six?

Good guess. Yes.

Which one is yours?

The one in the red dress.

She's adorable.

Yeah.

Annie's got her mother's eyes.

Too bad things have to change.

Why can't they stay like this?

Hey, mom. Here. Catch.

Erika, come to daddy.

That was great, daddy.

Cory.

Cory, come on. Let's go.

The vaccine then induces an immune response that recognizes

Both the tumor DNA and the nontoxic fragment

of the tetanus toxin DNA.

Hello?

Hello?

911. What is your emergency?

I have been getting a few hang-ups on the phone.

Since when?

A couple last week,

three today.

Any idea who it could be?

No.

What about smokers?

Do you know someone who smokes a lot?

Charles Jensen, an old boyfriend of mine.

He can be pretty annoying at times.

But I can't imagine he'd do something like this.

Is there anyone else you can think of?

Well, there was an incident where we used to live.

A man broke into the apartment.

I confronted him, but he got away.

You confronted him?

My father gave me a gun.

It didn't do much good.

Did they ever find him?

No.

So what do we do now?

Well, these guys are hard to catch,

but they usually keep their distance.

We'll beef up the patrol in the neighborhood,

and if he sees our cars around here,

he'll think twice about bothering you again.

What if he doesn't?

This is my direct line.

Call me any time.

Hey, if I have to,

I'll bring my sleeping bag and camp out.

One way or another, we'll take care of this guy.

Thank you.

Good night. Good night.

Thanks, Michelle.

I had a detective at my door today, basically asking me

if I was a pervert.

Is that what you really think of me,

after all I've done for you?

I'm really disappointed in you, really disappointed.

Carvelli.

Detective carvelli.

Yes.

Detective.

Ms. Duprey?

He's back.

He's just been outside my door.

All right. I'll be right there.

Please hurry.

What's going on, Mr. Culley?

I know you're upset.

You're damn right, I am.

I just saw a man looking in my window,

and then he went into your back door.

It's my son.

He's not well.

You better tell that to the police.

No. I beg you.

Don't get the police involved.

They'll just send him away.

What do you expect me to do?

Let me take care of it.

He won't come near you again, I promise.

Please.

He's the only family I got. Don't let them take him away.

It ends today, I promise.

Are you all right, Ms. Duprey?

Yes. Thank you.

I'm fine.

This is my landlord,

Mr. Culley.

He lives next door.

I was taking the trash out from around back.

I guess I gave Michelle here a fright.

Is that what happened?

It was dark.

I only got a glimpse of him.

Honest mistake.

I didn't mean to scare anybody.

Night.

Sorry to get you out here for nothing.

It's okay.

You did the right thing.

I'm glad it was a false alarm.

Me too.

You stupid idiot.

She hasn't even been here two weeks,

and already you got US into trouble.

You got the cops all over US.

I didn't mean to.

No. No.

You don't ever mean to.

But you're always

messing up!

We had everything going smoothly.

Then you got sloppy.

You went over there and put your big, stupid, ugly face

into her window.

She's so beautiful.

I know she's beautiful.

But you're going to scare her away.

Now, repeat after me.

I'm a moron.

I ain't going to do it any more.

Cut your crying, you pathetic little puke.

I'll give you something to cry about.

Now, say it!

I'm a moron!

Culley residence.

Please leave a message at the tone.

Mr. Culley, this is Michelle duprey from next door.

I think I saw your son outside my house again,

and if I did,

this time I am going to talk to the police.

Hello. Hello?

Mr. Culley, I think I saw your son...

He's dead.

My son's dead.

He just hung himself.

My god.

Mom! Mom! Mom!

What?

There's someone in my closet.

What?

Honey, you see? No boogie man.

It wasn't the boogie man.

It was a man.

Did you see him?

No, but he talked to me.

What did he say?

I don't know. I was sleeping.

Well, maybe it was a dream?

Maybe.

Do you think you could fall asleep again

if I tucked you in really tight?

Okay.

Okay.

There we go.

Now, you sleep tight,

and I'm going to leave the light on.

Okay.

Good night, baby.

Night, mom.

I love you.

I told you

she wouldn't believe you.

Partly clear but cool.

Today's temperature will get up to 58.

Come on, sleepy head, get up.

It's 7:00.

Mommy,

come see this.

What is it, honey?

What a shame.

Okay, let me get this straight.

Mr. Peeping Tom turns out to be the landlord's son,

and he lives next door, right?

Yeah.

And he hung himself.

That's right.

And I missed the whole thing?

I got to get a beeper.

Sorry about what happened to your painting.

So psychotic next door neighbor commits suicide,

and then my little angel takes a shot right through the heart.

This is getting kind of spooky, isn't it?

I'm trying not to think about it that way.

Thanks so much for baby-sitting.

I won't be long.

Don't worry about it.

Hey, where's my favorite little rug rat?

Cool.

Can you just hang on to these for a second?

I'll be right back.

What a surprise.

Hi.

Hi.

I thought you guys had your own firing range.

Well, you know, sometimes we like to mingle with civilians.

I heard what happened next door to you.

Yeah, it was tragic, wasn't it?

Yes, it was.

No more trouble with the peeping Tom, though?

No. No.

I think you must have scared him off.

Let's hope it's for good.

Yeah.

Would you care for a few pointers?

Yeah. Sure.

All right.

You want to line yourself up.

Can you hear me?

Yeah.

All right, now...

Okay, we're just going to adjust your grip here.

So put your left thumb over your right like that.

Bend your knees a little.

Okay.

Now focus on the center of the target,

take a deep breath,

you exhale,

and before you breathe in again,

that's when you pull the trigger.

All right? Okay.

You want to give it a try?

Huh.

That's okay.

Just try again. Breathe again.

You can't do it, can you?

Can't pull the trigger?

Do you want to talk about it, Ms. Duprey?

Michelle.

My name's Michelle.

Do you want to talk about it, Michelle?

Why don't you step into my office.

Where do I begin?

At the beginning.

Before we moved here, we lived in highland town.

It was about 3:00 in the morning.

I heard a noise.

It woke me up.

I got my gun out of the closet

and went into the living room.

You can't do it, can you?

I couldn't do it.

And he knew I couldn't do it.

It's not an easy thing

to point a gun at another person and shoot.

I just felt so violated.

I couldn't stay in that house.

I had to move.

I understand.

Thank you for listening.

I haven't been able to talk about it

with anybody for a long time.

I have... I was just thinking.

What?

You don't, by any chance, eat dinner, do you?

Occasionally.

How about Saturday night,

8:00?

8:00.

Cory, is Sally here yet?

Yep.

What are you eating?

Where'd you get that?

The man in the closet.

He doesn't scare me anymore.

I think I'll take that.

Thank you.

Hello.

Michelle was right.

Come on in.

Thanks.

Hi. I'm Joe.

Hi. Michelle's upstairs, primping.

I'm the baby-sitter, but you can call me Sally.

Well, nice to meet you, Sally.

Hi.

Sorry i'm running a little late.

That's okay.

Cory, this is detective carvelli.

Hi, there, Cory.

So where's your uniform?

Well, detectives don't wear uniforms, Cory.

But I used to wear one.

Do you have a picture?

Sally, could I see you in the kitchen?

Don't go away.

What? "Do you have any pictures?"

Where's your leash?

In the closet with the rest of my toys.

No chocolates for Cory.

Okay.

Only bugs and berries.

And he's got to be in bed by 9:00.

It's Saturday night.

Okay, 10:00.

And listen,

if you hear him talking to somebody upstairs,

he has an imaginary friend.

Is he single?

Funny. Very good. Very good.

You're an angel.

Thank you.

So what happened to your Van?

Crashed and burned, sort of like my marriage.

I'm sure you know how that is.

Actually, I've never been married.

I'm sorry.

I just assumed because of...

Cory?

He's adopted.

Well, he's one lucky kid.

No. I'm the lucky one.

He has a terrific imagination.

He's going to be the next ray bradbury.

To imagination.

And then he gets a stab in the lip.

Boo!

You scared me.

I scared you?

I didn't mean to scare you, honey.

What are you doing?

You are supposed to be in bed.

Playing with b.J.

Playing with b.J.?

Howdy, Mr. B.J.

That's not b.J.

That's not b.J.?

Well, where is he?

What's he doing in there?

He's shy. He never comes out.

Watch this.

Hey, Mr. B.J.

Look, there's no need to be shy, you know,

around sweet old Sally, huh?

I'll get him.

I haven't danced like that since...

Better not go there.

I guess we better get you out more often.

Can I go back and play now?

No, you can't,

because you have to go to sleep.

What's that?

Probably b.J.

He wants me to come back and play.

I'll bring some cookies.

No, no, honey.

You stay here.

If b.J. Wants some cookies, he can come and get them.

What's going on?

There's someone in the house.

He's okay.

Stay here.

I'm detective carvelli. What's going on?

I don't know.

You go around back.

Ready? Yeah.

Do you want to read him his rights?

You guys don't believe me, do you?

Sally, we searched the house and came up empty.

The back door was deadbolted.

You didn't see anyone come out front.

Nobody was here.

Something was upstairs, and it wasn't that damned robot.

It was b.J.

That's his imaginary friend.

Cory, was your friend here tonight?

Yes.

We played castles and knights.

Well, what does he look like?

I don't know.

Baby, you go upstairs, and you brush your teeth,

and I'll come and tuck you in.

Okay.

Night, kiddo.

Good night.

Well, I guess I'd better let you two get some rest.

Yeah.

I'll be in Philadelphia for a couple of days.

I have to go to conference on administrative procedures.

Lucky me.

Can I call you when I get back?

I'd like that.

Good night.

Good night.

You know what I think?

What?

I think you've got a ghost.

Sally.

Well, how else can you explain what I heard?

I mean, maybe it's the ghost of that psycho

who lives next door.

Well, what did Joe say

when you told him that that was the guy

who was watching you?

Actually, I didn't tell him.

Poor Mr. Culley.

He's been through enough, and anyway,

Bobby's dead and gone.

He may be dead, but I doubt that he's gone.

Listen, I've got an idea.

I know this psychic.

I don't know about that, Sally.

Well, don't knock it if you haven't tried it.

I know about this stuff.

Hey, hey, hey.

Where is my kiss?

How'd you like to go back to playland this weekend?

No.

I want to stay at home.

Pick you up later.

Hey, kiddo.

What are you doing here?

Well, I didn't think your mom wanted me

to come by the house.

You know me, I'm a man of my word.

So here it is.

Huh? Number 36.

What's the matter?

I thought you couldn't wait to get that.

I got to go.

Cory.

What's she saying?

She wants to know why you dream of knives.

There is death in this house?

Did someone die here?

Not that I know of.

My landlord's son committed suicide next door.

The spirit has not moved on.

It's him.

I knew it. I knew it.

Are you sure no one has died here?

It could have already happened,

or it's going to happen.

She sees someone falling down these stairs.

She sees me falling down the stairs?

She doesn't know.

There's a lot of energy here.

She sees something, but she's not quite sure

what it is.

A leaf?

You mean like on a tree?

It's not just one leaf, it's many leaves...

Dark brown leaves.

There is a presence in this house.

It wants to get your attention.

It seeks releasement.

You must listen,

or it will not move on... Slow down.

There's a man in your life.

J...

The letter "j."

Yes. "J."

Be careful.

He's not what he appears to be.

He's...

Evil.

That was frigging weird.

Whoa.

I don't know, Sally.

You don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

You were as freaked out as I was in there.

Somebody I don't know comes into my house

and tells me I'm going to fall down the stairs,

what am I supposed to think?

That is not what she said.

She said, it could have happened already.

All right.

There's one way of finding out.

What?

I'm going to call my landlord.

Culley residence.

Please leave a message at the tone.

It's an answering machine.

Mr. Culley, I'm sorry to disturb you.

This is Michelle duprey.

There's something I have to ask you about.

Did anything happen here before I moved in...

An accident of some sort?

I really need to know.

Would you call me and... And once again,

I'm so sorry about your son.

If there's anything I can do,

please don't hesitate to call.

Thank you.

Bye.

What about the j?

The evil man in your life.

Well.

Who could that be...

Joe?

Don't be silly.

Well, you got any other js in your life

that I don't know about?

Charles Jensen.

There must be a dozen js.

Okay.

We got to make a list.

Hello.

Ms. duprey. This is Mr. Walters,

Cory's principal.

Hello, Mr. Walters.

How are you?

Fine, thank you.

Is anything wrong with Cory?

I'm not sure.

Cory's teacher brought these to my attention.

I think you should take a look at them.

He did these when he first came here.

Sweet.

Yes.

Now, these were done in the last few days.

The children were told to draw anything they liked.

As you can see, Cory's contain some very troubling images.

Yes.

What is this?

It's just a picture.

Why did you draw this?

From a story.

What story?

The Princess and the knight.

I don't know that story.

How does it go?

Once there was this knight,

and he went to this kingdom across the way,

and he wanted to marry the Princess.

Huh.

She was beautiful, and she was going to say yes,

and this made the knight very happy.

But then there was this wizard

who casted a spell

on the Princess that made her want

to marry the baron.

Really.

Yes.

And this made the knight very sad.

So what happened?

She fell down the stairs and got what she deserved.

Who told you that, Cory?

B.j.

Honey.

B.j.'s not real.

That's not what he said.

He said that if I believed he was real, he'd be real.

And he said that some day, you'll get to meet him too.

Aren't you going to help me in the kitchen?

No. I want to go play.

Hello.

Hello?

Damn.

Hello.

Charles.

Michelle.

I don't believe you.

Michelle, wait...

It's Robert culley.

A courier delivered a gift while you were away.

I left it in your house.

I hope you don't mind.

In answer to your question,

I don't know where you got such an idea.

But no, nothing ever happened in your house.

Whoa. It's just me.

Charles, what are you doing here?

I knocked on the front door, but nobody answered.

So I came around back.

Can we talk?

We could have talked on the telephone,

but you hung up.

Remember?

I know.

I'm sorry.

I was nervous.

I really just wanted to leave a message.

I didn't have the right words then.

Michelle, I know you're going through a lot of stuff,

and you're not ready for a relationship right now,

and I can live with that, and I think we can be friends.

I don't know.

What?

What's the problem now?

The calls, the gifts.

What's the harm

in giving the kid a sweatshirt?

What are you talking about?

Didn't Cory tell you

I gave him a shirt?

And I don't know what you told him about me,

but he wasn't very friendly.

When did you see Cory?

Today at school.

You went to Cory's school without asking me?

Yeah. What's the big deal?

The big deal is that you never ask me,

you just do.

Look at this.

Why did you send this to me?

I've never seen that.

Charles, who else would have?

I'm sure I have no idea.

This isn't going anywhere.

I think you'd better leave.

So now you're just dismissing me, huh?

And what are you going to do if I refuse, huh?

Going to call your cop boyfriend, huh?

Are you spying on me?

Or maybe you're just going to use this

as another traumatic experience

so you can sleep with him for a while,

and then be friends with him?

Fine.

Go to hell.

Son of a...

Damn!

Can I help you?

Yeah, Mr. Culley, my car was just spray painted.

You didn't happen to see who did it, did you?

Yeah. I did.

Why don't you come in and wait while I call the police.

That's great. Thanks.

Rebecca sees something.

It's not just one leaf, it's many leaves...

Dark brown leaves.

Everett asked me to marry him today,

and I accepted,

under the most beautiful snow-capped mountains

you've ever seen.

I can't wait until our wedding day to be with him forever

and to leave this place.

I love him so much, and I thank god he's in my life.

Every day, it's something else,

something different, and each thing is stranger than before.

Sometimes I lie in bed and feel like I'm being watched.

I can almost hear the breathing inside the room.

Everett suggested we throw a Halloween party,

wear frightening costumes,

and scare away any ghosts that might be here.

He says he's going to dress up as a beast.

So I've decided to be his Princess.

We'll announce our engagement at the party.

Everett suggested we throw a Halloween party.

Everett suggested we throw a Halloween party.

Halloween party...

Halloween party...

Cory, what are you doing down here, baby?

You didn't get up.

So I decided to make myself breakfast.

I'm so sorry, baby.

Thank you so much for taking Cory to school.

No problem.

I got him there in time for his gym...

You feeling any better, huh?

Here, try that.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say I had a hangover.

But all I had to drink was a cup of tea.

All I remember is taking a bath, and then...

I had the most bizarre dream.

What?

I was at a costume party here with Ann Grayson.

Who is Ann Grayson?

She used to live here.

I found her diary hidden

in the bookshelves in my office.

Thank you very much to your psychic friend.

I knew it.

Look at this.

Let me see.

I must have dropped it in the bath, because it's all...

What a shame.

Look at that picture.

Is that her?

Huh.

My god.

She could be your sister.

See what's around her neck?

Yeah.

Someone sent me this

the other day.

It's giving me chills... this.

Read what it says on the inside.

Here... Okay.

"Forever in love."

Huh?

I don't know who Ann Grayson is, or where she is now,

or why she left her diary behind,

but I'm certainly going to find out.

Hey, where are you going?

To play with b.J.

Okay.

Mr. Lilly, thank you for seeing me.

My name is Michelle duprey.

I live in the house that Ann lived in.

Strange things are happening in that house.

I have a suggestion for you:

Move.

Mr. Lilly,

do you recognize this?

Someone sent this to me.

I'm trying to find out who and why.

Show me the inside.

Where did you get that?

Sit down, please.

I was hoping you could help me find that out.

Ann was wearing that the night she was murdered.

The only person who could have sent that to you is the killer.

I am not that person.

Maybe I could help you prove that.

Tell me what happened that night.

It was such a great evening for me and Ann... the party...

Announcing our engagement.

The last of our guests were just leaving and

I told Ann I'd be upstairs in a few minutes.

I'd had a lot to drink that night,

but not enough to knock me out.

The next thing I knew, I woke up,

and she was there beside me, covered in blood.

Then there were policemen yelling, pointing guns.

My fingerprints were all over the murder weapon.

The autopsy showed another man's semen in Ann.

So they claim that I caught her cheating and killed her.

Do you think she could have been raped?

Yes. Absolutely.

But I can't prove it.

The autopsy showed no signs of rape,

and the doors in the house were all locked from the inside,

so they claim that we were alone at the time she died.

They didn't even bother looking for the other man.

Who called the police?

The guy next door.

He said he heard US arguing.

Mr. Culley?

No. No, his son.

Did you know that Bobby committed suicide?

It doesn't surprise me.

Robert was weird, but b.J. Was a real nut case.

B.j.?

Yeah, b.J... Bobby junior.

My son has an imaginary friend called b.J.

Maybe he isn't imaginary.

Yeah, it's the knight.

Cory?

Cory?

Are you hiding on me, huh?

I'm going to get you.

Damn robot.

My god.

What the...

My god.

Cory.

Cory.

Those guys re-did the whole place.

Breaking and entering?

Leaving so soon?

You always make a habit...

Of walking into other people's houses... uninvited?

You have very bad manners.

Hey, b.J.

Hey.

Sh-shhh. There's a big rat out there,

and I got to catch it.

So you go downstairs... Come on.

But you promised you would play with me.

Yeah, I know I did.

Now, go downstairs, and I'll be there in a sec.

Okay? Come on. Go, go.

It's your lucky day, lady.

I'm letting you go.

Just don't let me find you snooping in here again.

Now, you be a good girl and let yourself out

before I change my mind.

Blah. Blah.

Zoom. Zoom.

It was a big one.

A big, fat, ugly one, and I killed it.

Hey, okay.

Hey, you want to play?

Hey.

Hey, Cory,

what's wrong, buddy?

I want to go home.

Cory, you are home.

No, with my mommy.

That's all right, buddy.

Your mommy will be here soon,

and I'll take care of both of you.

Hey, hey. Take it easy.

Look. It'll be all right.

Okay. We're a family now.

Look, you said you wanted a daddy, huh?

Here I am.

You're not my daddy.

Hey, hey, I'm your daddy.

I am your daddy.

And you're going to listen to me.

You stop it... I'm not going to raise no cry baby.

I mean it.

If you don't stop crying,

I'll really give you something to cry about.

Hey, put me down.

I want to go home.

You just be quiet.

I want to see my mommy.

Hey, let me out.

Let me out.

Quiet.

Cory.

Sally.

Hello.

Michelle. Hi, it's Joe.

I just got back. I got your message.

Joe, I need you to check something out for me.

Sure. What is it?

The suicide next door.

Can you confirm who died?

What's this all about?

Just do this, please.

Okay.

Just give me a sec.

What was his name again?

Culley.

Robert culley... C-u-l-l-e-y.

Okay. I found him.

How old was he?

It says here 31, so...

Bobby was about 31.

No, he was born in '31.

So that would make him, what, 68?

My god.

He's alive.

What did you say?

Bobby culley junior...

He was the man who was stalking me.

I thought he was dead, so I didn't tell you.

What are you talking about? He was the peeping Tom?

Yes.

And I think he killed someone.

Killed someone?

I'll tell you about it when you get here.

Just hurry, please.

All right. I'm on my way.

Don't do anything until I get there.

I won't.

Let me out.

I want to see my mommy.

Let me out.

Hey.

If you don't stop, you'll never see her again.

You understand?

Cory.

God.

Welcome home.

You.

You killed him.

Who?

Charles?

He was a real loser.

I couldn't let him come between US.

Where's my son?

I swear to god

if you laid a finger on him, I'll kill you.

Our son is just fine.

He's playing with his new toys.

In fact, we were waiting for you to come home.

Listen, Bobby or b.J. Or whoever the hell you are,

I want my son,

and I want him now.

Tough day at the office, sweetheart?

You should be well rested

after last night.

I put a little something in your tea

to help you relax,

since this is such a special day for US.

You are so adorable

when you sleep.

You know, your skin,

so soft.

Don't worry, my Princess.

I wouldn't dream

of consummating the relationship before our marriage.

Just tell me where my son is,

or I'll shoot.

Remember that guy in highland town?

You couldn't shoot him.

Why would you shoot me?

I'm warning you.

Where's Cory?

Cory.

He's just...

That's better.

You do what you want to me, but let Cory go.

Come on.

Get up.

Don't.

So you found my little secret.

You're clever, aren't you.

Well, you better be careful though.

Two old friends reunited.

Incredible, isn't it?

I know what you're thinking.

You wish you'd shot me, don't you?

You're right.

Oops.

No bullets. I took them out.

I'm wicked. I know.

I love you so much.

You're my Princess.

You shouldn't be alone.

I'm going to save you from this life

so that we can be together

forever.

Just let... Let Cory go, please.

Well, why would I let our son go?

Every day I've been looking at you,

looking at the way you get out of bed in the morning,

and the way you brush your hair,

the way you get dressed.

I called just to hear the sound of your voice,

the way you take a breath.

My father watched you too.

He said I couldn't have you, but I showed him.

I will Cherish and protect you, and make you so happy.

I promise, my sweet.

It's all right.

I understand.

I have a surprise for you.

I'm going to draw you a bath.

Then I'll bring you to our bed

so that we can

celebrate our wedding night.

You are so beautiful.

I'll be out soon, Michelle, my love.

Mommy. Mommy. B.J. Locked me in the basement.

Cory, honey, listen to me.

I want you to get out of this house.

I want you to run to the neighbors and call the police.

Do you understand?

Yes.

I know a secret way out.

Okay. Then go. Go!

What the... Hey, come back here.

Run, Cory. Run!

Come here.

Michelle?

Hello.

Michelle.

No.

Mommy, look out.

Come here.

Why are you doing this?

You are going to destroy everything.

We are a family now.

Don't you understand?

A family.

Bobby,

how could we be a family?

Everyone around here knows US.

Who's going to believe that?

We'll move far away.

We'll get married,

and we'll start all over again.

Look, there's nothing to stop US now.

It'll be wonderful, Michelle.

I promise.

A wife is supposed to be able to trust her husband, Bobby.

How can I trust you?

Of course you can.

I love you.

What do you do to the people you love?

What you did to your father?

My father?

He didn't want me to be with you.

He wanted you for himself.

No. Just like my mother.

He didn't want me to be with her either.

He was always trying to keep US apart.

She was dying.

He didn't even want me

to see her in the hospital.

I never saw her again.

I hated him.

Like you hated Ann?

What?

Ann?

How?

No.

I loved her.

You killed her.

She betrayed me.

No. No, Bobby.

She didn't love you.

That's why you pretended to be Everett.

You raped her.

You killed her.

No, no, no, no. You don't understand.

I was her knight.

I was trying to save her,

and she wouldn't listen.

That's the way you save someone, huh?

You kill them.

Lies.

That's a lie. That's a lie.

They deserved it. They deserved it.

Hey, buddy.

Why'd you do that?

Isn't that what you did to Ann?

You threw her down the stairs.

What?

She didn't love me.

Mommy. Mommy. He hurt Joe.

Joe?

Stay here, Cory.

Joe.

Joe.

Joe. Don't move.

I'll call an ambulance.

Stop.

Please.

Cory, go upstairs.

B.j.'s hurting.

Go!

Give me your hand.

Mom.

Is Sally in heaven with the angels?

I'm sure she is, honey.

I think Sally would have appreciated what you've done.

Yeah, but she probably would have rearranged everything.

Hi. I'm glad you could make it.

I'm very glad to be here, believe me.

I have something that belongs to you.

Thank you for everything.

Mommy. Mommy.

Excuse me.

What?

Look what Joe gave me.

Three hockey tickets.

Three hockey tickets?

There's one for you too.

You're going to come, right?

You bet I am.

Hey, you know how much I love you?

How much?

maybe this much. No. This much.
