(MAN GROANING)

Dad! Dad! Dad!

Hey! Hey! What's all this
noise then, you daft thing?

There's someone in my
room. I saw them! Over there!

That was just
shadows, sweetheart.

It was a face, though. It was!

It's just shadows.

See?

All gone.

Now, go to sleep, toasty-face.

It's late.

I'll leave the landing
light on for you, okay?

Why wasn't I allowed to go?

Because nobody wanted
you to be upset, love.

Mum's gone to heaven to be
with Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

Hasn't she?

She has, yes.

Will I go to heaven one day?

Try not to think
about that now, love.

Cuddle down and think
nice thoughts, okay?

Dad, will you put my
clothes out on the chair?

Like she did?

'Course, sweetheart,
just like she did.

- Night-night.
- Mind the bed bugs don't bite.

(MAN GROANING)

(HEAVY BREATHING)

(GASPS)

Dad! Dad! Dad!

(RASPY BREATHING)

(SCREAMING)

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

(ALARM RINGING)

(RINGING STOPS)

Three minutes. Three minutes.

See, Mum? I remembered.

Three minutes.

Just how you like it.

(GROANS)

- Are you all right?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm fine, I'm fine.

- Don't do that.
- I'm sorry.

- Can I take him?
- Mmm.

Hey. Hey, come here.

Come here.

Yeah. (CHUCKLES)

You don't forget, do you?

(SIGHING) Oh,
it's like riding a bike.

Come here. Yeah.

Are you still hungry?
You want some of this?

Listen, Jude,
I've been thinking.

I don't want
anything between us.

Not now, not when...

Well, let's face it. I don't know
how much time I've got left.

I want to be straight about
everything. Nothing hidden, nothing...

Do you remember
Alison? Alison Mundy?

The medium I was
writing a book about.

I promised you
I'd stop seeing her.

Well, I didn't. I haven't.

And now she's reached a
real crisis point in her life

and she won't
talk to anyone else.

And I feel I have to try and
help her because if I don't...

(SIGHS) Nobody will.

I just wanted to get
this out in the open.

If you're angry, just say so.

How am I supposed
to do that, Robert?

How am I supposed
to be angry with you?

Did Granddad die in this house?

Yes, pet, he did.

- Did he die in my bedroom?
- Yes.

I thought he was scary
at first, but he was nice.

I had to tell him it was my bed.

Then he went away.

- Can I keep these?
- 'Course you can.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

ALISON: Wait a minute, what do
you mean, "It was them, it was them"?

"No, it wasn't them. It wasn't
them. It was us, it was us."

I don't understand.
"It was us. It was us."

Yes, all right, I know, don't get
iffy with me, I'm doing my best.

Oh, well, now he's going,
he's walking away. Don't go.

Come back.

Uh, sir, 46.

Don't shake your head.
Think about it, hold on to it.

What does it mean?

Oh, it's going over there now.

I'm getting...

Greg.

Gregory.

I'm getting Greggy...

I'm sorry.

We're gonna to have
to call it a night there.

Thank you all for coming.

(ALL MURMURING)

Alison, I think that man
wants a word with you.

Well, I don't want
a word with him.

ALISON: I needed him when I was
10 years old. I don't need him now.

I know in some ways this
has completely freaked you out.

Your father appearing
out of the blue like this.

ROBERT: But don't you
think it's time you confronted

your own feelings
about that time in your life

and achieve some
sort of reconciliation?

Robert don't talk to
me about reconciliation.

And please just
don't talk. Don't talk.

Don't talk.

Look, it's clear he wants to try
and make amends for the past.

Is that too much to ask?

Yeah.

He wants to patch up his
relationship with his daughter.

Yeah, well... Tough!

(SIGHS)

(VACUUM WHIRRING)

Whew!

What did she say?

There's still a lot of
resentment there, clearly.

Did you tell her
you contacted me?

For now, I think
it's best she thinks

you came to Bristol
of your own volition.

I told you it was
a waste of time.

I shouldn't have
listened to you.

Stan, wait, please.

It's never too late to
put things right, surely.

I think she knows deep
down the effort you've made

just to show up here.

Last night I don't
know what I expected.

(SIGHING) It was pitiful
watching her like that.

Thirty years, I thought
she'd be different.

I thought she'd move
on, grow up a bit.

More fool me.

Some things break
and they stay broke.

You've got to get on with your
life without them. End of story.

She told me she
came home one night

and the contents of the freezer
were emptied all over the floor.

I've seen cans arranged
symmetrically on the shelves.

Sweets arranged in
color-coordinated lines.

I've seen bleach all
over the work surfaces.

- Oh, God.
- And she says it isn't her.

She says it's her
mother. Your wife.

I didn't want to say all
this when I called you.

That's when it started.

All this nonsense.
When her mum died.

But I think the reason why
her mother is appearing now

is that subconsciously Alison is
ready to deal with that part of her life.

That's why I brought you here.

What can I do about
that? I can't do anything.

You can talk to her.

You're her one link to the past.

MAN: If I can't survive
her, nobody can.

Why do they put people
in the ground, Auntie Vi?

That's not people, love,
that's flesh and bones.

The real us is in here, spirit.
And the spirit doesn't die.

That's what we call "pass over."

Oh, bugger, I've landed on Regent
Street. What's that gonna cost me?

- £130, please.
- Oh!

(SIGHS)

Did my mum pass over?

Why didn't Granddad pass over?

Some poor souls
are stuck here, love.

But don't you ever be scared
of seeing what other folk can't.

Promise me. It
makes you special.

Just like your mum's mum,
and her mum before that.

Granny Mason, that was.
Oh, she was a legend.

She was the Lone
Ranger, she was.

Just like you.

STAN: It's an adult game that.

She doesn't
understand the rules.

She's got a talent for it.

Haven't you, love?

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

He's not expecting anything of
you. Just hear him out, please.

There's no reason for Jane to
develop into a little household drudge.

But I like her. I
like her very much.

MAN: Well, I'm
glad you do, Mother.

Because you remember
a little while ago...

(TELEVISION
CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY)

You'll have to excuse me.
I'm in the middle of something.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)

Here you are. This
is Edie. This is Alison.

Hello. How nice to meet you.

Those look delicious.

- This is Margaret and Sweetpea.
- Hello.

Bronwen... This is Alison.

This is who I've been
telling you all about.

(LAUGHS)

Jammie Dodger?

My dad said I shouldn't
eat between meals.

Dad's not here, is he?

Don't be frightened,
love. It's all friends here.

Bronwen's been
hearing voices all her life.

And Phyllis writes down
music from composers

who've been dead donkey's years.

(ALL LAUGHING)

Give us a song, Phyllis!

DAPHNE: Oh, shall we dance?

- Oh, yes!
- Oh, come on!

(PLAYING CLASSICAL

And one, two, three.
One, two, three.

And twirl.

Oh!

One, two, three.
One, two, three.

Oh, look at Sweetpea.

(LAUGHING)

We have to be
patient. Just give her...

(SIGHS) I'm not a
very good host, am I?

Would anybody care for a drink?

I've given up, 20 years.

Marvelous! I haven't.

So, how's this going
to work, Robert?

We all join hands
and contact the living?

Something you weren't
very good at, as I recall.

- I'm here now, aren't I?
- Mmm.

But what about back then? I
mean, I was only five streets away.

Not the other side of
the bloody universe.

You used to be such
a pleasant little girl.

Bing! Ten points to
Daddy. Do I get a go now?

Why are you here?

Why now?

Don't tell me you've got a
terminal illness or something.

I explained to your father
about your mother's presence.

Your mother died
30 years ago, Alison.

Well, I must be
mad then, mustn't I?

Deluding myself.

Making people unhappy.

Unable to distinguish
between fantasy and reality.

Basically all the things
you say about me, Robert.

Sorry, I can't put up with this.

Well, there's a surprise. Bon
voyage. Missing you already, Dad.

Stan, wait, please.

Listen, Doctor, you were there.

- Give me a chance, please.
- You heard it.

Don't walk away
now. Please, not now.

Alison.

I know why you're doing this.

If it's not right,

or you've not done it
the right number of times,

you're convinced something
dreadful will happen.

What if you stop? Just stop.

And feel the anxiety get
worse and see what happens.

ALISON: Bad will happen.

Bad always happens.

Who is the doll, Alison?

Who is the little doll that you
need to put back together?

(LAUGHS)

I'm not little anymore.

(CHILDREN CLAMORING)

Ah, you all right?

MAN: Go on then, what
have you done today?

Since then she started to...

- Just, um, thank you.
- Right.

Yeah.

- Hi, you all right?
- Yeah.

Yeah? How was school today?

- Good.
- Yeah? Good.

- You hungry?
- A bit, yeah.

- Shall we have some egg and chips?
- Okay then.

Bye, Peter. See you tomorrow.

- What?
- Come on.

He's just being nice. He
just wants to say hello.

Come on.

Can he come round
to tea? Can I ask him?

He hasn't got
any friends either.

Alison, stop it. You know
who you're talking about?

You're talking
about Peter Bayliss.

You're talking about
someone who died.

Of course he's dead, silly!

He's a spirit, like
Auntie Vi says.

- There are no such things...
- Yes, there are. I see them.

Nobody else sees them, Alison.

- Only you! What do you think that means?
- (GRUNTING)

If no one sees them but you?

Let go of me!

They don't exist, Alison.

They're all in your
head. Up here!

(SOBBING)

Do you want to end up like her?

- Do you?

(LAUGHING)

Don't touch them.
Leave them alone!

Now you've done it wrong. You've
messed it up. She's upset now.

No, Alison. You are upset.

No, no, no. She's
really, really upset.

See, on, off, on, off, on, off,
on, off. She wants you to go.

She's dead, Alison.
Your mother's dead.

I put her in the ground.
I wept at her grave.

What more do you want me to do?

I want you to go away! I
want you to leave me alone!

You can't help her.
No one can help her.

I don't know how you
persuaded me to come here.

- No.
- Alison, let me explain.

- You brought him here.
- Wait.

It was you. No,
'cause I trusted you...

You can still trust me.

- I trusted you! I trusted you!
- You can still trust me please. Please.

Get off me, get
off me, get off me!

Get out! Get out!

(GROANS)

Jesus Christ!

(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)

(SIGHS)

(SOBBING)

Leave her.

She won't listen to you.

It's better to let her lie.

Once, she went to bed and
cried until 2:00 the next afternoon.

I didn't see her throw
it. Did she throw it?

She must've thrown
them. Both of them.

- How?
- I don't know.

(INHALING)

(SIGHING)

How did she become like this?

(SOBBING)

PRIEST: See, Alison,
the lesson here is,

that Satan is all round
us in our lives, testing us.

And if we let down
our guard for a second,

if we open a crack, he'll
be in there like a whippet.

- Do you understand?
- Yes, Father. A crack.

A crack. That's
how bad ideas get in.

Wrong ideas. Blasphemous ideas.

But didn't Jesus come back as a
spirit and appear to Mary Magdalene?

That's a different
kettle of fish.

That's a whole different
kettle of fish now.

When we die, we go to
heaven, I'm telling you.

That's all you need to know.

Say 20 Hail Marys
and make certain sure

you come to mass twice a week
like your good mother used to.

- And these thoughts will soon go away.
- Yes, Father.

- That should do the trick.
- Thank you, Father.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Come downstairs.

(GASPS)

STAN: Dr. Bridge!

I didn't do it. I swear
I didn't go near it.

We are not going to leave you!

Neither is she
and she's stronger.

She's dead, Alison.

Well, you're in good company.
He doesn't believe me either.

What a double act.

Why don't you leave me in peace?
Why don't you leave both of us in peace?

Is she at peace? I
don't think she is.

You want to help her, don't you?
Just like you helped all the others?

- Why is she different?
- Because...

Because she's my mother.

And she's protecting me,
and that's what mother's do.

Protecting you from what?

You made me think that
I was mad. And I'm not.

You told me that ghosts
don't exist. Well, they do.

Protecting you
from what, Alison?

Don't pretend that you
care about me, Robert.

You're just interested
in what I am.

The medium, the case
study, the freak show.

You scurry around looking
for truth and where's it got you?

I mean, where's it gotten me
after all your promises? Look at me!

Maybe it's just that
you're not very good.

Maybe it's just
that you're shit.

I know you're frightened
and I know you're in pain.

Maybe you're frightened. Maybe
you're more frightened than me.

- You can't run away anymore, Alison.
- No?

This time you have to face up
to reality. Right here, right now!

This is reality!

Why don't you face up to
it? Why don't you do that?

Why don't you stop running
away from whatever it is

that you're running away from?

What are you doing
here in my home?

In my life!

What do you want from me?

(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)

- (BOTH LAUGHING)
- I beat you.

- No.
- I beat you.

- No, you didn't.
- Yes, I did.

Now, listen, you go upstairs
and clean your teeth and I'll...

I'll be up in a minute.

- (SIGHS) We thought you were in bed.
- I'm awake.

You should have been
there, Daddy. It was nice.

- They all clapped when I...
- Darling, you go up to bed.

It's all right. Me and your dad
are going to have a little chat.

What's wrong now?

What could possibly be wrong?

A 10-year-old girl hanging around
with those nut case cronies of yours.

AUNT VI: I wouldn't expect you to
understand. They're good people.

Kind people. Spiritual people.

STAN: Like her sainted mother.

AUNT VI: Don't drag
my poor sister into this

just because you can't cope
with your own daughter's feelings.

Don't tell me I don't
understand her feelings!

That she's different! Special!

Abnormal.

Is that what you want for her?

Talking to the trees, locked
up like her mother was?

'Cause that is the way
you are making her.

That is a shameful thing to say.

Dad?

It's all right, love.

Your dad's just upset. He
doesn't know what he is saying.

I do know what I'm saying.

I'm saying, get out of my house.

And get away from my daughter.

Look what you're doing to the
child. She doesn't need to hear this.

Yes, she does.

I'm not going to abandon
her. I won't. Look at this place.

Can you imagine what Social Services
would think if they stepped in here?

- Don't threaten me.
- She's terrified.

I can feel her
little heart going.

Let go of her. Let go of her!

Come here, sweetheart...

You can't look after
her. Look at you.

You can't even
look after yourself.

Why not let her decide.

(SCOFFS) What?

She knows what she wants.
She knows what's best.

Don't be ridiculous.

And if she chooses you,
you'll never see me again.

No.

Let's ask her.

What's going on? Ask me what?

It's all right, love.
Don't... Don't be afraid.

You just answer from
deep in your heart.

Do you want to
stay with your dad

or do you want to come
and live with your Auntie Vi?

Don't answer, Alison.

Don't worry who's going
to be hurt, sweetheart.

You just say the truth.

You, Auntie Vi.

(SIGHS)

Go and get your coat, blossom.

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

STAN: Perhaps it's a fuse.

I'll take a look at the
fuse box. Where is it?

I don't know. Alison?

Alison, are you okay?

Are you all right?

(FOOTSTEPS)

If it doesn't feel right,

she's got to go down to
the bottom and start all over.

ROBERT: It's next door, Alison.

Again and again and again

- and again and again and again...
- ROBERT: Alison?

- And again and again and again...
- Alison?

Again and again and again...

(FOOTSTEPS)

(SCREAMS)

(GASPING)

What happened?
Stan, what happened?

I saw her, I saw her, I saw her.

Stan, don't go there.
Don't get drawn in.

I need you to be
strong. Stan, look at me.

She was wearing the
nightdress. The same one.

The one she was wearing
when she killed herself.

What?

I thought... I thought
she died in the hospital.

She came home. She
committed suicide at home.

I found the body.
I found the body.

She was wearing
the same nightdress.

(ELECTRICITY CRACKLES)

(PHONE RINGING)

(PHONE BEEPS OFF)

Who was that?

- Jude.
- Your ex-wife?

- Yes.
- Hmm, that's nice for you.

- It's not important.
- Really?

- I'm trying to help you, Alison.
- Go home to your wife, Robert.

No.

How does it feel?

Horrible? Frightening?
Confusing?

Like you're going mad?

You didn't believe me.
You didn't believe a child.

Do you believe me now?

All I wanted was to do
the right thing for you.

All I wanted was you
to feel happy. Safe.

I'll never be safe.

I won't be safe until I'm dead.

Don't say that, Alison.
I do believe you.

I'm here now.

It's too late.

(RUMBLING)

(GROANS)

God.

Oh, God! Oh, God!
Oh, Jesus Christ.

Mummy's here.

Breathe, breathe.
Breathe, Stanley.

- Stanley, breathe.
- (BREATHING DEEPLY)

Okay, relax. Try to
relax. Deep breaths.

Deep, deep breaths. Okay, okay.

- Okay.
- (GASPING)

- Why didn't you help him?
- Because.

Because she wants
him to go, doesn't she?

But what does Alison want?

Alison wants him
to stay, doesn't she?

She wants him to go
because he's hurting me.

- You're hurting me.
- We're not hurting you.

She's the one who's hurting you.

- She loves me.
- This isn't love.

She's overwhelming
you, suffocating you.

Don't get lost, Alison.
Don't disappear.

Please help me.

Oh, God, please help
me. Please help me.

Okay, okay. Now,
this is going to be hard.

But we are going
to do this together.

I want you to go
back to your house,

when your mummy was
there, when she wasn't away.

- No.
- Alison, Alison. I won't leave you.

Listen to me.

What do you see?

A little girl.

What else do you see?

- No...
- Listen, it's all right.

It's all right. I
won't let go of you.

- No.
- I won't let you go.

- No! No!
- Alison!

- Alison?
- No! No! No!

- Alison, don't! Please don't!
- No, no, no!

No, no, no!

Listen to your dad. Alison...

♪ There was an old
woman who swallowed a...

Whale. (SIGHS)

♪ It made her quite

Perhaps she'll die.

Perhaps she'll die.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)

See you later.

STAN: Oh!

ALISON: He looks funny.

He looks weird. Not like my dad.

Not like anybody.

How does it make you feel like
inside when you see him like this?

- Not nice.
- Why not nice?

Because I want
my dad. My old dad.

- And I can't.
- Why can't you, Alison?

Because it's changed.
It's all changed.

And it can never go back.

Why has it changed?

What changed it? Who changed it?

Mum? Mum? Can I go
out? Just for half an hour.

Everyone's playing
football. I promise I'll be...

(GASPS)

(GASPS)

God. Oh, God! Oh, God!

She's... She's here.

She's here.

- She's here. (GASPING)
- Alison.

Alison, listen to me. You're
safe. Alison, you're safe.

ALISON: I knew that
if I called somebody...

That they'd save her.

So I didn't.

I... I didn't call anybody.

I didn't do anything.

I just went out to play.

And I pretended that
I hadn't been home.

I pretended that
I hadn't seen her.

That I hadn't found her
and no one would know.

How would they know?
Only I would know.

It would be our little secret.

Living in a mad house
with a mad person,

sometimes it was like we
were going mad ourselves.

And sometimes I just
wanted her to go away.

I just...

Wanted her to be gone,

and then I could be normal.

I could be normal
like the other kids.

And sometimes I...

I...

Prayed to God that she'd die

and I didn't think that my
prayers would be answered.

But they were.

And then
afterwards I... I felt...

I felt... I felt bad.

And I wanted her to
come back. But she didn't.

(HYPERVENTILATING)
I... I saw all the others.

All the others that
had died, but the...

But the one person that I
wanted to come back didn't,

and I hated her.

I... I... I loved her.

But...

But I hated her so much.

ROBERT: You didn't hate her.

You didn't hate her.
You hated her madness.

You wanted her
madness to go away.

You wanted your mum.

So now you know what an
awful, awful, awful person I am.

STAN: You weren't
an awful person.

(SOBBING) You
were a little girl.

You didn't kill your
mother. She did.

I should never have let you go.

I was a coward.

I didn't think I was able to...

I didn't think I was good
enough to keep you.

Oh!

(STAN SOBBING)

She's gone. Isn't she?

(SIGHS)

Oh, yeah.

What were those? Those pills.

Nothing. (SIGHS)
You need to sleep.

We'll talk tomorrow.

If you want to talk.

Ow.

Robert?

Thank you.

Are you going to Jude's?

Good.

Why good?

Because she loves
you and you love her.
