Deadline (2009)

[bunniefuu]

Alright let's

finish packing

and get the hell outta here.

What the hell is that?

A g*n.

Are you serious?

Ben...

will be out soon.

He'll try to find me.

He always does.

He has no idea where

you're going.

What if he finds out?

Alice, I don't like

you having a g*n. You don't

even have a license for it.

I don't understand. Why

can't you just stay here and

work while I'm in New York.

I don't want to be

alone in the apartment.

I don't feel safe here.

Besides, I'm already

behind on my deadline.

You're putting yourself

under too much pressure.

It's too soon.

If I don't go to work

I will go crazy.

You look

really great on film.

You're a real

voyeur ain'tcha?

Filmmaker.

Oh, like there's

a difference?

There's other

things to film.

You're ruining my shots.

So how much are you

paying for this

place anyway?

Free.

Free?

Uh-huh.

This is the slimy producer

who's been trying to get

in your pants

for the last

year, correct?

He's not slimy. He's rich.

And he's helping out

a struggling writer.

Yeah. Right.

You know

what I was thinking?

Maybe you should write

about your own life?

It might be therapeutic.

I have no interest

in writing a horror film.

Oh my God

we've found it.

You think it's

big enough for me?

It's big enough

for a football team.

Oh my Goodness.

You are gonna be

so lonely here.

That's exactly

what I want.

It's perfect.

Well alright then!

It's huge.

Oh my Goodness.

Ohhhh.

Come on,

let's go upstairs.

Oh.

Bedroom?

Yes.

Look at that balcony.

I could definitely

get used to this.

Okay.

Old houses

are like people.

They grumble

and moan and cry

like they're in pain.

And keep you

awake at night.

I'm gonna miss you.

Are you?

Yes.

Even your sarcasm.

Ben was stupid to do

what he did to you.

I hate it

when you're sad, Alice.

It makes me sad too.

Come on.

Come on, let's check

out the rest of the house

before you have to leave.

Alice?

Where are ya?

Hey.

How odd.

I wonder

who owned this place before

the producer guy bought it.

I have no idea.

A family, I guess.

Alice.

Don't... Don't

t*rture yourself.

Come on. Come.

Come on.

Let's go.

Are you

sure you want me

to take the car?

Yes.

You'll be stranded

here without it.

That's the whole point,

so I can focus and work.

Why don't you just let me

take a cab to the airport,

it's not a big deal.

Becky, I don't want the car.

I'm never gonna use it.

Okay. If you're sure.

This is everything.

Where's my laptop?

Up stairs

in the bedroom

with your suitcase.

Is this enough

food for one week?

Plenty. I don't eat

much when I'm working.

I'll unpack the rest.

Come on,

let's go before

you miss your flight.

You'd better

call me.

Oh, of course I will.

Don't forget

to brush your teeth.

Thanks, Mom.

Don't forget

to drive carefully.

Hello.

Hello?

Becca? Hi.

Ally. I have something

to tell you. Promise me

you won't freak out.

Ben turned up

at the apartment looking

for you. He's out of prison.

Since when?

Last night.

Last night?

And you didn't

call me to warn me?

Calm down, please.

He has no idea

were you are.

No, I'm not calming down.

Ben knows he's going

to go back to prison if

he comes within a mile of you.

Rebecca, Ben doesn't

care about the law

and you know that!

sh*t!

Need a hand Scooch?

I got it.

Play with your toy.

Hey, show me the ring.

Haven't you seen it

enough already?

Well Mrs. Woods,

I would like to see

how the lens does on closeups.

Tsk.

Wish I could've

afforded the other one.

David.

Don't say that. Alright?

I adore this ring.

And I adore you.

So what time

is your mom coming?

Seven.

Is she planning

on spending the night again?

It's her house.

She just gets

lonely by herself.

Alright. I'll talk to her.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Well

dinner's almost done

I think you could put

that thing away.

David!

Alright!

You look so cute

in your sexy glasses.

Come on turn it off.

Don't tell me

you weren't a

runway model one day.

Flattery will

get you nowhere.

Okay. Why don't

you pretend you're

somebody famous then.

No, Ally, I'm reading!

Give me the damn camera!

No, I don't think so.

Oh oh oh, she thinks

she's stronger than me!

I can't leave

the film like that!

It's still rolling!

So how long

are you going

to keep me a secret?

You're not a secret.

Nobody knows about me.

I haven't met

any of your friends.

Are you ashamed of me?

Oh, that's not true.

Then what

are you afraid of?

I'm afraid that

if Ben finds out

how close we are

he's gonna get

the wrong idea.

Wrong idea about what?

It doesn't matter.

Ally, nothing

is going to happen to you.

I had this dream once

where he k*lled me.

It's just a dream.

He's getting out soon.

Come on, come on, come on.

Hello?

Oh, it's me.

Alice, it's 4:00

o'clock in the morning.

I though someone had died.

I just. I needed

to hear your voice.

Is something wrong?

I'm not sure.

What does that mean?

I

I don't know,

I think, uh,

I think there's

someone in the house.

Have you called

the police?

No, it's not like that.

Call the damn

police or I will.

It's not normal.

Tell me what's

going on. You're

not making any sense.

I think someone died here.

Call the damn

police or I will.

I can feel it.

I can feel

the sadness, the energy.

Did you hear

what I just said?

Yes.

Well?

I think you watch

too many movies.

This house is creepy.

It's an old house, Ally.

Of course it's creepy.

Someone used my laptop.

And I keep

hearing these voices.

Someone crying

like they're

in so much pain.

Ally?

Yes?

Have you been taking

your medication?

You don't believe me.

It's 4:00 o'clock

in the morning and

you're talking about a ghost.

I shouldn't have called you.

No. Don't say that, please.

I'm glad you called.

Look, why don't you get

a taxi back to the city,

you'll be

here in a few hours.

I'm not leaving.

I came here to work.

You are putting yourself

under too much pressure.

You'll make yourself

sick again. Alice?

Alice?

Are you there?

Hello?

Yes. Alright.

I'll take my pills.

Sorry I called you.

Inspire me, Lucy.

My muse.

You are so beautiful.

Thank you.

Can you please

stop filming? You know,

it kinda makes me nervous

What time

do you think

you'll be home?

Not too late.

What's your friend's

name again?

Marie.

She single?

No.

She's a,

she's married

to Luke, remember?

Luke was at the wedding.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Was Marie at the wedding?

She's one

of my best friends.

I haven't really seen her

that much since I've been

with you, you know.

She is gonna freak

when I tell her

that I'm pregnant.

Ever since

we were little

we were always saying

we'd get

pregnant together.

You didn't tell her?

I've been saving it.

I wanna see her face

when I say ' I'm pregnant! '

you know?

I want the surprise.

You know, how do

I even know you're

seeing this girl. Huh?

You could be...

going to see some guy

David?

We're having a baby together?

How could you say that?

I guess I'm scared.

Scared of what?

Scared that you'll

meet someone else.

Scared that I'll lose you.

But I belong

to you. Remember?

You're just so

young and beautiful.

What man wouldn't

want to be with you?

Hey!

You came to help.

Oh, my god... Oh, honey.

Oh this place looks.

Our son is going to be

so proud of his beautiful

and talented mother.

Or maybe our daughter.

Then I'll have two

amazing women in my life.

David.

Can you stop playing

for a minute and

please help?

I'm documenting. All

of it. Everything

we're doing.

For our kid.

You're documenting?

Yeah, it's important.

Oh! What?

That is

completely unnecessary.

Ugh it's documentable.

Yeah, get it.

Oh, okay, I will.

Ughhhh, you k*lled me!

Nooo!

That's ridiculous!

Here here here.

Wait wait wait.

There, I'm helping.

No, yes, very helpful.

I'm crazy about you,

you know that?

You're my world.

David. What

brought this on?

I'm just being

nice to my wife

because she deserves it.

Well, thank you,

but I'm working.

You're distracting me.

Yeah?

You don't want to be

distracted right now?

No, not right now.

Why not?

Hm.

David, come on.

I'm serious.

Your smell Schoochy.

David. David!

What? Honey?

Just. You know. Jesus.

I just want

to be close

to you, honey, don't.

What?

Baby don't walk

away, I'm sorry.

What happened

to you, Lucy?

I'd like to see you.

Maybe I'll go back

to school in a few years.

Psychology?

You're right.

I never

thought about it

that way but it's true.

I'm going to,

uh, call you back.

Who you talking to?

Who were

you talking to?

Did you hear

what I said? Huh?

Who were you talking to?

This is getting ridiculous.

I, I can't

handle this any more.

Well then

just answer.

Answer what?

It's, I don't

have to answer.

It's a simple question.

Yeah you do! Who were

you talking to?

Your mother!

Alright? I- I was

talking to your mother!

What's happening to you?

Every day you're

like a different person.

I'm going to bed.

I would be more

comfortable if you

slept in the spare room.

Hello?

Lucy. Is that you?

You look like

an angel when you sleep.

Hello? Who is this?

Who is this?

David. David!

I told you

to stop filming me!

Where are you going?

David. Uh, I'm

just gonna take

a couple of days,

you know, take a break.

You're

you're smothering me!

Come on, close the door.

You're not leaving.

Close the door.

Just gimme the car keys.

No.

Just.

No!

I knew it.

You are not leaving

me for another man.

What?

Lucy, I've heard

you on the phone with him!

Talking.

Laughing. Flirting.

You, you

think I'm stupid!

David. Maybe,

maybe, you know,

we could talk to someone.

We could get some help.

Oh, really.

Oh, come on. No!

Help me.

Tell me what to do.

I'll do anything.

He thinks it's

someone else's baby.

It's cold.

Where's David?

What happened

to him, Lucy?

Lucy?

Show me.

Hey, I haven't heard

from you in days.

Something bad

happened here.

Look,

maybe you're

going through some kind

of delayed shock here,

you never really dealt

with what Ben did to you.

What are

you talking about?

A few months ago

Ben broke into the apartment

he went crazy,

saying the baby

belonged to someone else.

I don't remember that.

He tried to drown

you in the bath, Alice.

You miscarried the next day.

You had a breakdown.

You have to stop

denying this.

The missing tape.

You know if I had

the missing tape. If I

could find the missing tape.

What are

you talking about?

What missing tape?

He was always filming.

Always. There was an

empty tape box. Then

there's obviously another tape.

Listen, I need you

to do me a favor.

If you could get

on the Internet.

Just find out,

look up everything

on the name David Woods.

David Woods. Okay.

Who is David Woods?

Can you not ask

questions! Just

do it, please?

I'm still at

the hospital with my Mom.

I'll have to do it later.

This is important.

Do you promise me

you're going to do it?

I said I would.

Thank you.

The woman in the mirror lies.

Hello.

Ally, I checked on line

like you asked me to.

What did you find out?

David and Lucy Woods

were reported missing

May 5th 2006.

I knew it.

Who reported them missing?

David's mother. A few

days before he disappeared

he told his mother

that Lucy left him

for another man

and went back to Chicago.

They were only married

six months.

She was pregnant,

it says he had a history

of depression

and tried to k*ll

himself the year before

when Lucy

tried to call

off the engagement.

Alice, do you really

think he k*lled her?

I don't know.

What do you think

happened to David?

I'll call you back.

David.

David, come on.

This this

is hurting my arms.

I know you

slept with him.

Admit it.

Say it!

David, you gotta

stop and think.

Think about

this. Jesus.

I swear to God.

I swear to God baby.

You just

tell me the truth,

from the beginning

and this will be over.

This is ridiculous.

You called him

because you were lonely.

Because I neglected

you. And, right?

David?

It was Luke, wasn't it?

Do you...? Luke?

Just say it.

Marie was out of town,

and Luke was lonely too,

so you called him up and

Oh, my God.

You seduced him.

Oh my God.

David, we're having a baby!

That thing's not my child.

Oh, no.

Say it.

Just tell me

the truth, Lucy.

It's all I want,

it's just...

He, he, he,

I'll still love you.

Gosh!

I, uh...

Tsk. I seduced him.

Come on, David.

Come on.

Say it.

We made love and.

I only saw you, though.

Oh, oh.

Oh, sh*t.

David!

David!

David!

David.

David! David.

No. No!

Phew.

Ugh.

Oh, Lucy.

Hello? Who's this?

It's Ben.

Don't hang up, please.

What do you want?

Forgiveness.

For what?

While I was in prison

I thought about you a lot.

What I put you through.

The things

I said to you.

The baby.

You're in the house.

You've been

in the house all along.

It's been you, watching me.

No, I'm in Boston

with my mother.

You're a liar.

Please let me talk.

Look. I just need

to tell you that I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. And I know,

I know the baby was mine.

And I know that,

I know that I k*lled it!

I'm sorry. I promise that

I'll never hurt you again.

I'm going to let

you go Alice. You're free.

Lucy.

Lucy.

We're free now.

David!

David. What are you doing?

You damn idiot!

You damn fool!

David.

Are you all right?

Lucy.

Lucy?

Alice? Where

have you been?

The g*n. Where

did you put the g*n?

What?

He's in the house.

He's going to k*ll me!

What?

David.

Who is David?

Becky, we talked about

this. I told you about this.

Alice, I haven't heard

from you all week. I've

been worried sick about you.

Are you still there?

Why? Why did

you take the g*n? Why?

I couldn't leave

you with a g*n.

No one's going

to hurt you, Alice.

No! No!

No!

David.

Ah!

Ah!

Alice!

Oh, my God.

Alice?

Ugh.

Alice, what happened?

Come on, I've got you.

Oh.

Let me help you.

Let me help you.

No! No!

I don't want

to go in that bed!

Let me give you

some pills baby.

They're gonna

help you sleep.

Drink. Drink.

I'm sorry, baby.

Da... uh, uh,

Da- Da- Da-

David's mother knew

that he k*lled Lucy.

So she told the police

that they both went

missing to protect them.

And when she died

he moved back into the house

and he's been

here ever since.

No, he...

He was here.

He was in the house.

He's been watching me.

He's been watching me.

Shhhh. You have to rest.

Just listen to what

I'm saying. Please,

I think someone died here.

Just tell me the truth.

David! We're having a baby!

David.

Ugh.

I am so sorry

I left you alone.

I promise you

I will never leave

you alone again ever.

Okay?

You look like

an angel when you sleep.
