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 killed 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
