Dark Water Page #3

Synopsis: Dahlia Williams and her daughter Cecelia move into a rundown apartment on New York's Roosevelt Island. She is currently in the midst of divorce proceedings and the apartment, though near an excellent school for her daughter, is all she can afford. From the time she arrives, there are mysterious occurrences and there is a constant drip from the ceiling in the only bedroom. There are also noises coming from the apartment directly above hers, though it would appear to be vacant. Is the apartment haunted or is there a simpler explanation?

See that little thing?

Boom dining room.

You can put your stools around it,

and when you're done......

....out of the way, no clutter.

The dishwasher, if you're entertaining,

very convenient to have.

Kitchen. OK.

And then here

is the other bedroom.

So, where's the living room?

Well, it's kind of

a living room slash bedroom.

It's called a dual-use room. You can see

it's the size of two rooms. It's huge.

Anyway, did you see the view?

Did you see that?

Look at that. That is a million-dollar

view for $900 a month.

I mean,

I don't even have that where I live.

You're not going to do better than that,

I guarantee it.

Listen, I am just going to

cut to the chase here.

We could have this painted this weekend.

You could move in on Monday,

and, you know,

we could just fill out the forms right now.

I understand you want some time

to walk around, think about it.

- Let me just check on Ceci.

- Sure, sure. Yeah.

Ceci.

She's just making herself at home.

That's OK, Mom.

Ceci.

You know how they are.

She's just exploring.

- Mr. Veeck. Mr. Veeck.

- Did my daughter come down here?

- What?

- My daughter.

The little girl I came in with.

The little girl. Did she get on the elevator?

No. I see no one.

Just him.

Yeah, there was a little girl

in the stairwell.

Ceci.

Ceci.

Ceci.

Ceci.

Are you in there?

- Hello.

- Yeah?

- What are you doing down here?

- I saw someone go in.

Did you check the stairs

all the way to the roof?

Ceci.

Look, Mommy.

Hello Kitty. I got a Hello Kitty bag.

Ceci. Don't you ever do that again.

Do you understand?

Don't you ever run away from me,

and you never come up on the roof.

- Sorry.

- Do you understand me?

It's not safe for you up here.

You could have fallen.

- Sorry, Mommy.

- OK?

How can you leave this unlocked? There's no

railing here. It's totally irresponsible.

- It's supposed to be locked.

- Well, it wasn't.

Yeah. Sorry.

- Are you OK, honey?

- Yeah.

You're so lucky you found that.

My niece loves Hello Kitty.

Did you look inside it?

- No. Mommy, can I look?

- It's not yours, sweetie.

Oh, I am sure she can keep it. There's no

other children in the building. Someone...

No children?

Why? It's so close to the school.

They all grew up.

You know, they're all teenagers now.

You know, hardly anybody

ever moves out because of rent control.

Oh, there are other children on the island.

You know, in the other buildings.

You would have

many, many friends.

So cute.

Mr. Veeck, why was the door

to the roof open?

- What?

- The roof.

My daughter

found this on the roof.

- The roof? Where?

- Just lying there.

Mr. Veeck. Why didn't you

lock the door to the roof?
