"Why did you give it all up is not like you" "I haven't given anything up." "Merely changed priorities." "Ow!" "For a high-flying city girl, rattling around in this house alone is a priority?"

"Perhaps you should sit down for a minute?" "I'm fine, truly." "I met them in the village your husband and son." "What an excellent father he is." "It's so important that father and son should get on well together." "Henri isn't Thomas's father." "Thomas's father left me three years ago." "Which is fine now." "He's a lucky little boy to have someone so devoted and caring." "Lucy, are the proof sheets ready?" "I'm on my way to the airport." "Pierre called." "Call him before you get to the airport." " What do you mean?" " Just call him." "Okay, I'll call you back." "Pierre, what's the problem?" "Bad news." "We're going to have to pull you off the campaign." "We had an agreement." "We've worked for years." "I'm sorry, but the board rejected your proposal." "Fuck!" "Good morning." "It's not good news." "It's the seventh campaign we've lost in as many months." "It's like we've been blackballed." "You'll turn it around." "You always do." "Hopefully, before I go bankrupt." "You own that beautiful house." "I don't own it." "The bank does." "Or they will if I can't pay the mortgage." "I'm already behind." "Emma must not know." "If she calls I'm in France." "Everything is as planned." "It's about time, your phone's been off forever."

"Your pizza!" " Goodnight." " Goodnight." "Mum!" "I'm coming, Thomas." "It's just a power cut." "Hey, darling." "There's nothing to be frightened of." "We got the lights back." "Tobias said that we can't stay here." "Who's Tobias?" "What do you mean I can't pitch the account?" "Jack, it's me..." "we go way back." "Of course I'm still in business." "Why?" "What have you heard?" "Nothing left." "Marjorie, you've lived here a long time." "I grew up around here, but then moved away for a time." "Do you know anything about this house?" "All I know is the owners went away a long time ago." "When I came back the house was deserted." "And it's been standing empty for twenty years or more." "As though it had been forgotten." "And then suddenly out of the blue," "I heard that Mr. Connaught had moved in." "Do you know anything about the family that lived here?" "Marjorie, I know it might sound silly often I see things and then they happen." "But since I've moved here I think I've been seeing the past." "Perhaps you could still be seeing the future." "What are you doing?" "What are you doing?" " It's a game we play." " Give me that now!" "Come on, let's go and play." "I've had Andrew on the phone." "Going on about how charity begins at home." "Andrew only sees what he wants to see." "He hates me for it, and I hate him for hating me." "Emma, don't be so hard on yourself, darling." " Mummy!" " Did you hear that?" "What?" "It's probably just Thomas playing with Tobias." "Tobias?" "Some old doll he found." "Sorry." "Emma?" "What's happened?" "Stop torturing yourself." "We'll have another one..." "I promise." "How did you find this house?" "I don't know." "It just kind of found me." "What's that?" "It's just sleeping pills." "Doctor Ellington said they'd help." "Why was Pollock here today?" "Who are you?" "Fancy seeing you here." "It's usually me on the sniff." "Want some?" "I never should have introduced you to my sister." "You've become quite the square." "What I need is a loan?" "Straight forward cash." "No questions asked." "You're begging from the poor." " You know people." " Go to a bank." "It's safer." " Don't you think I've tried that." " I don't know." "I'm up to my neck in debt." "I just need some cash to get my business running again." "Why don't you ask your wife?" "She is not to know a thing about this, or I'll kill you." "You certainly are desperate." "Henri!" "You used to love tripping when you were down." "Find me the money!" "Mrs. Connaught?" "Your husband says he's going to be home late." "Thank you." "Good night, Mrs. Connaught." "Henri?" "Marjorie?" "Marjorie?" "Last night the crows attacked my mom." "There was one outside and it smashed the window." "You came back so late last night." "After midnight." " Business." " Business?" "This is not the first time." "Are you all right?" "Okay." "I got to go." "Are you sure there's nothing we should talk about?" "No, I don't think so." "Bye." "Remember the dinner tonight." "Yeah, of course." "I have found someone to lend you the money." "They're going to need collateral." " Anything." "My company?" " Your company is worth Jacques." "They'll lend against your house." "I need it to pay for the house." "Ok!" "It will buy you a couple of months." "Henri!" "Come on, Thomas." "There." "I am sorry." "New York, just won't stop calling." " It's all right." " Don't worry." "Grandma's taking care of me fine." " Thomas!" "I'm your nanny." " Granny..." "Nanny..." " Do you want to say hello?" " How do you do it?" "You look even more beautiful than the last time." " I hope I'm not too early." " Not at all." "Thomas wants to say hello." "You're up late." "I thought you'd be tucked up in bed by now." "This is Marjorie." "How do you do?" "Thomas, your dressing gown." "Perhaps you can help Bob the Builder find the attic." "What have we got here?" "How about this..." "and this could be a roof...?" "Charles, you grew up around here." "In the county, like you." " You know this house." " Not particularly." "Why?" "Do you remember anything about the people who lived here?" "I know it was a long time ago." "I'm not as old as you think I am." "Pollock?" "Henri, we have a dinner." "Perhaps I should go." "Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude." "Thomas is trying to say hello to you." "Thomas, look." "I've found the steps to the basement." "Excuse us." "Is there a dungeon?" " What's wrong?" " It's nothing." "Are you having an affair?" "Do you think I have time to have an affair?" "Why did you buy this house?" "Why keep asking me that?" "There's something inside this house... it's destroying us." "...even Thomas..." " Even Thomas, what?" " His friends say we should leave." " Thomas has friends?" " You know what I mean." " You have a vivid imagination." "A few creaking floor boards and you want to pack it all in." "You can't stand the fact that I bought this house without your permission." " That's absurd." " Is it really?" "Phantom children calling out to you." "Voices in trees." "What's going on your head?" "Look what you're doing to Thomas." " I need some time alone." " Don't ruin my dinner." "Don't worry, I will play happy families." " So sorry I'm late." " It's fine." " Are you all right?" " I'm glad you're here." " Are you sure?" " Yes." " Flora, how are you?" " Hello, Charles." "Emma, you look lovely." "Emma, you look gorgeous." "Hello, Pollock." "How are you doing?" "Where's the handsome Frenchman?" "Just going to get my cigars from the car." "...and he drops the cannon ball down the chimney." "It crashes straight through the obstruction bounces out into the room below and breaks the leg of his wife who's been standing talking on the phone." "All because he refused to pay for a chimney sweep!" "How is Derek's practice going?" " It's doing really well." " Allow me to answer for myself." "Psychiatry is a boom industry." "We're obviously all going mad!" "Oh, I went mad years ago." "The secret is not to get caught." "Sister?" "I don't believe that I'm going mad," "I do believe this house is haunted." "Things apparently go bump in the night." " You've heard it too?" " No, I haven't." "If I thought my house was haunted I'd be out in a shot." "Emma won't let me smoke." "Henri, will you join me?" "Sure." "There's something bothering you?" "Just a bit." "Why has the furniture still not arrived from NY?" "You're hanging around my wife and I don't like it." "We're just old family friends." "Andrew mentioned you might be having financial problems." "I've always liked this house." "So where shall we start?" "You're dreaming, Charles." "I would never sell." "As you wish." "We should go inside, they might think we're friends." "I don't want Emma to know about this." "Of course not, this is between ourselves." "Remember how proud of me you once were?" "I'll always be proud of you." "What if I had no money?" "If my business failed?" "Don't be absurd, darling." "You're not the failing type." "Are you all right?" "Are you all right?" "I feel really weird." "I don't know what's happening." "What are you doing?" "Mummy!" "Mummy!" "Emma." "You were under the bed." "You must have been having a nightmare." "Yes." "Yes." "I know." "I'll fucking pay you." "I owe you the office rent." "We agreed, three months." "I know." "Oh, darling, sorry." " Things are a bit hectic here." " When are you coming back?" " I don't want to be here alone." " I can't tell you right now." "As soon as I can, I promise." "See you soon, darling." "Bye." "Mummy!" "Help!" "Help!" "Quick, Henry." "Hide." "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Mommy." "Help!" "Help!" "Mommy." "Help!" "Mommy." "What are you doing?" "I want to help." "I don't understand." "You found Tobias's room." "Something awful happened here." "In this room." "You've been through a lot." "We should get you some help." "Henri, just go to work." "Can you move your truck?" "Mummy!" "There are builders here who can do that for you." "This must have been a lovely room." "It's a sad room." "Hey, sister." "I actually had to buy one of your neighbours a bottle of Scotch." "He said the house was lived in by a professor of music at Kings College." "Lord Earns haw." "He had a younger wife." " When exactly was this?" " '74, '75?" "Had students lodging there." "Always coming and going if you know what I mean, and they had a son called Tobias." "...and there was a murder." "I'm sure it would have been in the local papers." "Hi Marjorie." "How is she?" "She's at a restaurant?" "Where?" "Mother and son are trying to communicate." "It's your sub-contractor who's trying to communicate." "Do you think she is making this up?" "Her son made up the name Tobias?" "Stabbing her by the tree then again in the bath." " Maybe she was still alive." " I know I'd get out of there." "Every house has a history." "Sorry, am I late?" "We think Emma needs a holiday." "I think..." "I should go back to work." "I'm in the house on my own all day." "Thomas is about to start school again." "Let's go." " Hey, don't touch my sister." " It's okay." "Your talk of ghost and visions." "You're all driving her insane." "It's better if you all leave her alone." "All right?" "It's ok, darling?" "Come on." "It's better if you stay in the house until you are well." " Good evening." " Don't you think?" "I found an article from thirty years ago." "A woman and her son were murdered in this house." "The gardener killed them, and then killed himself." "Why are you telling me this?" " Because it might explain..." " It explains nothing." "Two children witnessed the murder." "Elizabeth's son, Tobias..." "Suffocated, hiding in a trunk in the nursery." "The other was the gardener's son." "He ran into a bedroom." "He was found still alive but in shock under the bed." "Next to the dead body of his father." "You said, when you were four your father died." "You were sent to a foster home in Paris, and never heard from your mother again." "Maybe she was trying to protect you from the truth." "You are saying that..." "I was here as a boy." "And that I'm the son of a murderer?" "I don't know." "What I'm saying is, maybe you know." "It's not me the house is amercing, it's you." "It's making you paranoid." "I'll sleep down stairs." "Mummy!" "Help!" "Emma!" "Emma!" "It's okay." "It's okay." "She is suffering from some kind of acute stress disorder, but she isn't clinically paranoid." " She's not losing her mind?" " Of course not." "Then what?" "We've agreed to a short spell at my hospital, followed by a period of convalescence." "I've no doubt, in time she'll make a complete recovery." "I can't let you do that." "We have to make sure she stays here." "Emma is in control of her trust and the state she's in she's capable of anything." " I'm worried about Thomas." " Really?" "I don't think you need be." "As I said, Emma's fine." "You're not listening." "Yes, I am listening." "You asked for my evaluation..." "I don't want her going anywhere." "I want her staying here." "It may not be your choice." "Mrs. Connaught?" "The doctor has left you some more sleeping pills." "I'm not taking them, thank you." "They make me sick." "You shouldn't go on reading all this." "No wonder you've been having nightmares." "I just don't think the papers have the full story." "How do you know that?" "I just know." " Mummy's not very well." " I know." "We're going to get her better very soon." "Thanks for coming." "I know we haven't always seen eye to eye, but I didn't know who else to turn to." "Are you feeling better?" "I want to show you something." "No!" "Someone's moved his..." "who's moved his...?" "It has to be empty." " Oh, no, no." " Emma!" "What are you doing?" "Emma, stop it." "Darling, what is it?" "I don't know what's happening to me." "What should I do?" "You asking my advice?" "You have changed your tune." "I'm very concerned..." "The state she's in... she'll do something stupid with her trust." "Cheers." "Under certain circumstances, you could take control of the trust as her spouse." "Don't tell you haven't thought about it." "You must protect Thomas." "What would I need to do?" "Were Emma to be found of unsound mind, albeit temporarily... you could apply to the court to have the present trustees removed and have yourself appointed in their place, on Thomas's behalf." "When she recovers, she regains control of the trust." "Absolutely." "Can he do this?" "We were just talking hypothetically." "He can't take over the family fund" " Can he?" "Darling, it won't come to that." "I'm not trying to seize anything." "I'm just trying to protect Thomas." "I bet you are." "A bit of a messy situation." "Do you think he was trying to take control of it all along?" "I don't know." "If he has been trying to do that, there's no evidence to suggest unless..." "some can be found." "I'd start in his study." "Good evening." "Can I help you?" "I was just looking for something and there it is." "I've been looking for it everywhere." "Henri must have borrowed it." "Ok." "Good night." "How can you do this to me?" "It's for your own good." "This could be avoided if you just sign over control of the trust." "I'm not going to do that." "Ever!" "I can't bear to see us like this." "Go away, Henri." "I'll see you in court." "Mummy!" "Mummy!" "How are you holding up?" " Am I doing the right thing?" " Of course you are." "My family's always been a bit insane." "Look at me!" " I can't go through with this." " Yes, you can." "You ran out of options." "You've got no choice." "Good luck." " Did you find anything?" " No." "I've spoken to your counsel." "The sleeping pills have come back from the lab." " Everything's going to be fine." " What do you mean?" "The pills were spiked with Mescaline." "It explains your delusions." "Henri?" "I'm as shocked as anyone." "Your brother will give evidence that he supplied Henri with the drug." " Andrew, did?" " Henri stands no chance." "All rise." "The case of Henri Connaught against Emma Connaught." "May it please Your Ladyship." "In this matter, I appear on behalf of the claimant, Henri Connaught." "Don't be upset." "You won." " How could you do that to me?" " It was lies in there." "How could you do that to me, Henri?" "I had to tell the truth about giving you the drugs." "I'm sorry, mate." "Fuck!" "Son of a bitch." "Get here!" "Tell me what's going on or I'm going to kill you." "All right." "Get the fuck off me." "Are you fucking happy now?" " All right!" " Fuck you!" "You've been played like a fool." "Every time I thought only a moron would take the bait!" "What are you talking about?" "Who do you think bankrupted you?" "Who did you think was going to lend you the money?" "Who?" "It's Pollock!" "He heard you bought that house three years ago." "He paid me to be your friend." "Then I introduced you to Emma and that seemed to piss him off even more." "He set you up to take control of her trust, knowing full well you'd lose it." "What?" "He knew if you took my sister to court, she'd never speak to you." " Why?" " Why do you think?" "You married Emma, didn't you?" "If he wanted money, then why didn't he ask?" "We have to face the fact, Emma." "That It was only about money for Henri." "That house..." "it's changed him." "Perhaps prison could change him back." "I take it you are going to press charges now?" "He tried to drug you." "He made you think you were seeing things." "The mobile phone you have called is switched off." "Please call again." "Yes?" "I'm going to kill you." " Are you threatening me?" " I'm going to fucking kill you." "You've done enough damage." " Do you want to go back?" " Yeah, it's okay." " Mummy!" " There you are." "Look at you." "Hello, you." "Where's Henri?" "He's had to go away for work." "Will Mr. Connaught be back for dinner?" " Not tonight." " Come on, Thomas." " No more Henri." "No more ghosts." " Thank you, Flora." " I'll give you a lift." " Bye, Thomas." "Bye, Auntie." "Snap!" "Yes, alright." "You win." "Well done." " I think it's time for bed." " No." "I don't want to go to bed." "Would you like me to put him to bed before I leave?" "That would be lovely." "Would you mind staying again?" " No, of course I wouldn't." " Yes!" " I'll race you up the stairs." " You're too old to race me." " We'll see about that." " You'll never catch me." " I'm coming." " Thank you, so much." "I'm definitely too old for this." "Hi, again." "I've been searching for this for years." "These visions, Emma." "These ghosts." "Where do they come from?" "Are they real, Emma?" "Shit!" " You killed her?" " She wouldn't leave her husband for me and I couldn't let him touch her again." "The children weren't meant to be there." "But the gardener stumbling in." "I suddenly had an alibi." "Stabbing her again with the shears in the bath was evidence enough." "I did go back to look for the knife but I couldn't find it." "Until I read that Henri had bought the house." "Why?" "How much did he remember?" "Why did he go and spoil it by marrying you?" "I'd seen a future for you and Thomas and me." "But, can you change the future?" "Because you finding this..." "I'm afraid it changes everything." " I'm sorry." " Mummy!" " Mummy!" " Your ghosts, Emma." "I knew I recognised you." "You were one of the students who lodged here." "I never believed my husband was a murderer." "How wonderfully Dickensian." "Run, Emma!" "Mummy, what's happening?" "Run to the nursery and stay there." "Perhaps you could still be seeing the future." "But you can change the future?" "It's a sad room." "Mummy." "Help!" "Help!" "I've got you." "I've got you." "Help!" " Mummy!" " Thomas!" "It's over." "Mummy's here."
