deep into the bed.

Let your limbs go numb.

Okay.

Don't fight it.

That's it.

That's good.

You are awake in your dream.

That's good.

You're in a state of pure awareness,

but totally...

...paralyzed.

That's good.

That's good.

Stay in control.

Stay in control!

Stay in control.

Stay in control!

Anna!

Anna!

Oh, my God.

Paul?

Have a good rest?

'Cause I didn't.

Spent the night

worried about you.

Feeling guilty about

swapping out your drugs.

But then I discovered this.

Wednesday.

Thursday. Friday.

Sunday.

Where's Saturday, Anna?

I... I don't know.

That's weird because...

Saturday's the night

you were here by yourself.

Let me show you something.

I couldn't really care less

about the surveillance cameras.

Well, it's not as though anything

really happens around here, is it?

But then Shadow found

something out there.

And I thought to myself...

"What is Jeremy's body doing

buried in my backyard?"

Look...

I'm sure there is some

perfectly rational explanation

for all of this.

And if there is...

you should tell me

before I call the police.

I'm gonna make the call.

You should stay here.

It can get pretty dangerous

outside.

There's nowhere for you

to go anyway.

Come on.

Come here.

All right, you stay here,

Shadow.

All right? Stay.

So what now?

Eh? You're not gonna

go anywhere.

Neither are you.

Well, why would I?

The police will be here

in a minute.

Great, then you can tell them

what happened to Vera Palm.

What?

The blind woman who mysteriously

went missing out on the salt lake.

Who you keep

pretending not to know

although her dog

is standing right over there.

Yeah, he dug this up

out on the salt lake.

So tell me, Paul.

How did she go missing if her

guide dog was out there with her?

Vera was my wife.

She was a very talented,

but, um...

unsuccessful architect.

This house was supposed

to change all of that.

For two years, the only thing she

did was work on this project.

Day in, day out.

She became obsessed

with the place.

And by the time she laid

the foundations...

we were living

completely separate lives.

We were like complete strangers.

She invited me out here to

celebrate when it was completed.

Paul? Are you still there?

But why would I?

I wanted you

to come out and celebrate.

This house had stolen my wife.

I can't believe you're doing this.

Paul?

Paul, are you still there?

On the way home that night...

she fell asleep at the wheel

from sheer exhaustion.

When they found the car,

they said, um...

that she was lucky because...

the Joshua tree she hit stopped

her from going over the cliff.

But a branch came in through

the windscreen and, um...

blinded her.
