- [Narrator] The handle remains!
(gentle music)
(insects chirping)
(gentle music)
(Woman moaning)
- [Guy] Damn.
I haven't fucked in the
back seat since high school.
So am I ever gonna
get to see your place?
(ominous music)
- I told you I have a roommate.
- [Guy] What is that mean?
Do you have a boyfriend?
- No.
I don't have a boyfriend.
- [Guy] Why else wouldn't I be
able to see your place then?
- Because I don't know
you and you don't know me.
- [Guy] All right, tell
me something about yourself.
- Like what?
- [Guy] I don't know.
What's your sign?
- My sign?
Scorpio.
- [Guy] And have you
always had roommates
or have you lived alone?
- No, I've lived alone,
for like a year.
- [Guy] Here in L.A.?
- No, in New Mexico.
- [Guy] But why in New Mexico?
- 'Cause I was hiding out,
in my grandma's trailer
in the middle of nowhere.
- [Guy] Hiding out?
And why were you hiding out?
(ominous music)
- Because I killed somebody.
- [Guy] Yeah.
Really?
Well, I mean,
I just had no idea,
I was hooking up
with a murderer.
So who was it?
Who did you kill?
- Do you really wanna know?
Got that freedom rolling on
There is a road
outside the door
That sometimes calls my name
When it's time to shift in
Thinking something's
about to change
Now it's either east or west
How will I know my way
Oh it's calling, calling me
From my home
(upbeat folk music)
From my home
- [Radio Show Host] That's
The Tillers There is a Road.
Hi kids, it's hump day.
And we got all requests
taken seriously.

grandma's place down the road.
I thought you
lived in California.
- Yeah, I'm on a road trip.

Where are you going?
- Just, just driving.
- Cool.
How you been?
- [Jessica] Good.
Good, you?
- Fine?
- We should catch up soon.
- Yeah.
Do you wanna come over
for a cup of coffee or?
- Yeah, I think I
should keep driving.
Good to see you.

Safe travels.
- Yeah.

Hey.

there's a song you wanna hear
on that drive home from
work, call me 343-7598
and say it, I'm gonna play it.
Keep that radio dial
set to Highway 98 Folk.
Beef's on the meat hook
Flies on the bone
Devil's on the hillside.
Don't you hear him grown?
Turkey's playing seven-up
on the melon vine
The goose chewing tobacco.
The duck's drinking wine.
Who broke the lock
I don't know
Who broke the lock
on the henhouse door
And I'll find out
before I go
Oh, who broke the lock
on the henhouse door?
(upbeat folk music)
The barnyard hen and
the rooster in the nest
You know my dear, I

Barnyard rooster
counting me a line
Just take it with a turkey
on the big check line
Who broke the lock
I don't know
Who broke the lock

(wind gushing)
(gentle music)
- [Elena] You remember
this place?
- [Jessica] Uh-huh.
Looks the same.
- [Elena] Yeah,
nothing's changed.
- [Jessica] What was
with that guy?
- [Elena] What?
- [Jessica] You stopped
for a hitchhiker.
- [Elena] Oh yeah.
That's my friend, Benny.
- [Jessica] He live around here?
- Yeah, he's a local.
He's a nice guy.
(gentle music)
(wind gushing)
(gentle music)
I can't believe we haven't
seen each other
since high school.
It's so wild.
I'm so glad you came over.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Glad we ran into each other.
- [Elena] Yeah, I know, me too.
- Yeah.
- So how are things
in California?
- [Jessica] I actually
left California.
- Really?
- [Jessica] Yeah.
- How come?
- I had a stalker.
(suspenseful music)
- Oh shit.
- Yeah.
Yeah, it got really bad.
- [Elena] Really?
- Yeah, that's why I
moved back to Santa Fe,
but then he found me there.
(car engine revving)
(truck horn honking)
- Jesus Christ.
I'm so sorry, that's terrifying.
Are you okay?
- No, no, I don't know.
I don't know.
- So what's your plan?
- I don't have a plan.
- 'Cause you know there's a
spare bedroom if you need it.
- Yeah, that might be good.
Yeah.
Thanks.
- Yeah.
Are you okay?
- [Jessica] Yeah.
Are you okay?
- Am I okay?
- It's good to see you.
- [Elena] Yeah, good to see you.
- Yeah.
(ominous music)
- [Elena] Did you go
to the police?
- [Jessica] Yeah.
They said he wasn't
breaking any laws.
Yeah.
I tried being nice.
Tried being mean.
Tried everything.
- [Elena] Is it
someone you know?
- [Jessica] Not really.
Apparently we had a class
together in college.
- [Elena] Hm.
What class?
- [Jessica] Doesn't matter.
- [Elena] Which class?
- [Jessica] Biology.
- [Elena] Hm.
What's his name?
- [Jessica] Kevin.
- Kevin, ugh.
(ominous music)

(wind gushing)
Benny.
Benny.
(wind gushing)
(birds chirping)
(gentle music)
(birds chirping)
That was my grandma's.
- [Jessica] So cute.
- Did you sleep okay?
- [Jessica] Yeah.
(birds chirping)
- Found that at the ruins.
You wanna go?
- Okay.
- Okay.
(radio host
talking indistinctly)
Used to be
(upbeat folk music)
I got me a woman
She's around my
size and height
She's a married woman
You know she treats
me all right
You don't believe I love
you. What a fool I've been
- [Jessica] Is that
your friend, Benny?
- Yeah, he likes this road.
(car engine revving)
(car horn honking)
(wind gushing)
(birds chirping)
(ominous music)
What?
- Let's go back this way.
- Why?
What's going on?
- You see that guy over there?
(suspenseful music)
He looks just like my stalker.
- Oh shit.
- Every tall, skinny, bald
white guy looks like my stalker.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Let's go.
(suspenseful music)
- [Kevin] Hi Jessica.
It's Kevin.
- [Elena] Whoa.
- And I just wanted to say.
- He does look like that
guy we saw today.
- I was thinking a lot
about what you said to me
last week on your birthday.
I don't think that you
meant everything you said,
but it did get under my skin
and it did get into my head.
I do think that if we're
gonna repair our relationship,
that you do need to find a way
in which you can
make it up to me,
in a way in which pleases me
and gets me
to where I need to be.
Jessica, Jessica,
Jessica, Jessica
Jessica, I'm gonna
tell you this once
and I'm gonna tell you
this only one time,
because I don't have
any more time.
Just call me back,
just talk to me.
I can't take the
this any longer.
I can't fucking take
this any longer.
So call me back and talk to me
so we can get in the same room
and I can fucking
smell you again.
Come on.
Hi Jessica, it's Kevin.
I've been driving for
like eight or nine hours
just on my way to
Santa Fe to see you.
And it's a little
lonely on the road.
It's like nothing around
in like any direction.
It's just making me
feel extra lonely.
So I'm just sending you things,
that makes me feel better
to just send you videos.
So I'm gonna like
keep doing that.
Okay, Jessica,
you need to wise up
to what's coming to you,
because if you keep fucking
ignoring me like this,
I'm not gonna play take
it easy when I see you,
when I get to you.
It's not gonna be fun for you,
it's not gonna be fun for me.
So just answer my texts,
answer these calls
and get back to me.
- And that's just two
weeks worth of letters.
You mind if I go take a shower?
- No, go for it.
(wind gushing)
- Jessica!
Jessica!
(suspenseful music)
Jessica.
Jessica!
Jessica!
(suspenseful music)
Jessica!
(door knocking)
- Jessica.
- [Jessica] Yeah.
- Kevin is outside.
- [Jessica] What?
- Kevin is here.
- [Jessica] What are
you talking about?
- Kevin is outside.
- That's not funny.
- [Elena] I'm not joking.
Maybe he followed
you from Santa Fe.
- That's not possible.
- [Elena] Maybe he tracked
your phone or something,
I don't know, but he's here.
- Hold on.
(suspenseful music)
- [Kevin] Jessica!
Jessica.
- What is going on?
- [Elena] He's still here.
- Jessica.
Jessica.
Jessica.
(suspenseful music)
- [Jessica] Who is that?
- Jessica.
- It's Kevin.
- Jessica.
- That's not Kevin.
- It's Kevin!
Jessica, hey, Jessica.
- What do you mean?
- It's not Kevin.
- How is that not Kevin?
- [Jessica] Because it's not.
- Who is it then?
- I don't know, why is he
saying my name?
- Because it's Kevin.
- That's not Kevin.
- [Kevin] Talk to me, Jessica!
- [Elena] What the fuck?
Where'd he go?
- I'm leaving.
- What?
- [Jessica] I'm
getting outta here.
- Jessica.
Jessica.
Is there something
you're not telling me?
- [Jessica] Nope.
- Why do you think
that's not Kevin?
- Because it's not.
- [Elena] Who else could it be?
- [Jessica] I don't know.
- [Elena] Jessica, wait,
don't go outside
Jessica, you have a
stalker, I'm trying to help.
- [Jessica] You can't help.
- What are you talking about?
Jessica, can you please just
explain to me what's going on?
(ominous music)
Oh fuck.
Okay.
So that wasn't Kevin.
- Obviously.
- Because Kevin is dead.
- [Jessica] Exactly.
- So
- That was Kevin's ghost.
Wait, wait.
No, no, no, no, no,
Jessica, Jessica, hold on,
whatever happened,
you can tell me.
(suspenseful music)
(car engine revving)
(car engine revving)
- [Kevin] Jessica!
Jessica!
- What the fuck?
- [Kevin] Jessica
it's Kevin, Jessica.
(car engine revving)
Jessica, Jessica,
Jessica, Jessica, Jessica.
(car engine revving)
(suspenseful music)
- Oh my God, what the fuck?
(window knocking)
- You are not crazy,
this is happening.
Just come back.
My grandma was a mystic
and a romantic.
And when my grandpa died,
she cast a spell on her
land to reconnect with him.
So when you brought
Kevin's body here,
the spell summoned
Kevin's ghost.
- So how do I get
rid of the ghost?
I get rid of the body?
- No, that won't do anything.
There are three ways
to get rid of a ghost.
One, the ghost chooses
to leave on its own.
Two, you get another
ghost to kill the ghost.
Yes, ghosts can
kill other ghosts.
Or three, you give the
ghost what it wants.
- He wants me.
- I know.
Don't worry, he can't
come inside.
So you're just gonna stay here,
you're gonna relax.
And I'm gonna take
care of everything.
- The fucking things
that we've had together.
And she doesn't even care.
She's just wandering around.
Not even paying attention to me.
Acting like I wasn't
there watching her.
Please I've done
so much for her,
I've done so much for Jessica.
I've sent her letters,
I've sent her phone calls.
I've sent her emails,
I've talked to her.
I've sent her messages.
I've been on road
trips to her house
and she doesn't
come out to answer
because I'm like
an idiot to her.
I'm invisible, I'm walking
around like a stupid person.
And I wanna do things for
her and I want to be her.
I wanna kiss her, I wanna
love her, I wanna tickle her.
I wanna see her calves and
her legs and her thighs.
I mean, there's everything
about her that I want.
- He's a ghost.
- [Kevin] When I
see the stars and I.
- He can't do anything.
- And I see her and
my love is for her,
and it's in the stars.
- [Elena] He doesn't
even know he's a ghost.
- It's for her.
And she doesn't love me,
she doesn't appreciate
anything I do.
And I'm deep for her
and I'm wide for her.
And it's confusing because
my whole life is about her.
My supreme life is about
her and she doesn't care.
And that's frustrating
for me because you know,
it's not the first time
that I've been in love.
And I see her and
I'm in love with her.
Okay, I said it,
I said it, I said it,
I'm in love for her, with her.
It's fucking Valentine's
day everyday for her
and she doesn't appreciate it.
She appreciates nothing
that I've done for her.
And it's not fair,
it's not fair.
I mean, I've been
the guy here suffering,
I've been the one suffering.
She acts like, she's
the one who's suffering,
which is not real.
You know, I'm the
one who's out here
waiting for her and giving her
everything that I can muster.
And she's not
giving me anything.
And that's not fair,
that's not fair for me
as a man who works hard,
who makes money,
tries to get a love.
Okay, when you see someone who
loves you, you accept that,
you don't say no, you don't go.
That's not gonna come
around again in your life.
That's not gonna come
around, Jessica.
That's not gonna come around!
- [Elena] He's not gonna stop.
- And you should see
it when you know it
and know it when you see it.
And it's right here,
plain as day.
So see it, don't see it,
I'm still gonna be here.
I'm not saying what she is.
I'm not saying what she
is, is mine, that's stupid.
It's not a law, it's not a law
that I have a right to you.
It's not about rights.
But it is about desserts,
about what you deserve.
When you give this much,
you deserve something back.
That's what it is.
People think that I don't
understand that, but I do.
And for me, there's many
things that I do deserve
that people don't understand.
One Jessica, because you know.
Okay, I understand it's
not people, it's society,
they're brainwashed
into thinking,
give everything to your job,
give everything to your money.
But for me, you just
give it to a person.
That's what it is.
That's all that matters.
You know, and people don't
seem to really understand
and grasp the true essence
of what that means.
Because for me,
it's clear, it's simple.
And for Jessica it's not.
And that that's
part of my mission.
Get her to understand,
get her to see,
get her to open her
eyes and her heart,
not only to me, but to
the world around her,
which she doesn't understand.
The beauty, the power,
she doesn't get it.
And it's sad really,
because I'm trying to
just do what I can for her.
And she's blind.
She's deaf, dumb and blind.
And I'm trying to make
her speak here and talk.
And I keep saying, people go,
"Hey, Kevin, what are you doing?
"Why are you spending all
your time off this one person
"who doesn't even like you?"
Well, A, that's not true.
B, it's better than money
because there's one
thing important in life
and that's people.
And if you don't have a person,
you don't have a person,
and that's sad.
You gotta get one.
You've gotta get one.
Even if they don't
know it's you,
you gotta do something
to get her or him.
People don't seem to understand
that what I'm doing is
not some sort of like,
thing, okay, it's real.
It's not my job.
Okay, it's not my job.
It's not my hobby.
It's it's my purpose.
(gentle music)
Jessica.
I don't get it, I don't
get her sometimes
because she is kind, well to me.
But I've seen her be kind,
I've seen her be smart.
I've seen her be
not really funny,
but you know, silly.
Well, not really.
I do think that she likes me.
I do think that there's
a possibility here
because maybe she hasn't shown
it, but anything is possible.
People who say nothing
is possible are stupid.
[Kevin mumbling indistinctly]
- Kevin.
- Who are you?
- I'm Elena, I'm
Jessica's friend.
- Jessica?
- You don't know where
you are, do you?
- Excuse me?
- You feel a little
lost, a little confused.
Any idea how you got here?
- I'm-
- Nothing, right?
- Where is Jessica?
- You're a ghost, Kevin.
- What?
- You're a ghost, you're dead.
- No, no, I'm not.
- You are.
- What are you, crazy?
- Touch my hand.
See, you're a ghost.
Ghosts can only
touch other ghosts.
It's over.
Move on.
- But Jessica.
- [Elena] You can't
touch Jessica.
- I can't touch Jessica?
- No, you can't touch Jessica.
- I can't touch Jessica.
I can't touch Jessica.
I can't touch Jessica.
I can't touch Jessica.
(gentle music)
(wind gushing)
Can't touch Jessica.
Can't touch Jessica.
Can't touch Jessica.
Can't touch Jessica.
Can't kiss her lips.
Can't hold her hand.
I can't brush her hair.
I can't be with Jessica.
I can't be with Jessica.
I can't be with Jessica.
But I'm still with Jessica.
I'm still with her.
I can still talk to her.
She can still hear me.
I can still be
there for Jessica.
I can still be there for her.
I could be there for
her more than ever.
I don't have to eat.
I don't have to sleep.
I don't have to work.
I can just be with her.
I can listen to her.
I can talk to her,
all day long, I mean, this is
good, this is a good thing.
Yeah, this is good,
this is good, yeah.
(cow mooing)
[Kevin] Jessica!
Jessica!
I'm here for you, Jessica.
I am here for you now,
I'm here for you forever.
I'm here for you in a way
I have never been before.
I am present for you.
I could be at your side, always.
I am here to help you
forever and ever, Jessica.
Anytime you need me,
I will be there.
I will be your man.
I love you, Jessica.
I love you.
And I want you to take
me however you want.
And I will be here for you
every second of every day,
every second of every night.
We can do it, Jessica.
It's a fact, you and
I can be together.
It's not a mystery.
It's not against the law.
We can do this.
We can do this, Jessica.
That's all that matters.
I'll be at your side, at your
doorstep, under your bed,
behind your door,
wherever you may go,
I will be there.
I will be supporting
you and loving you
and together we can
grow, Jessica,
we can grow together.
Anything you need,
I can provide.
I devote myself to you.
I am here for you, Jessica.
I can see you and hear you.
Before I couldn't do that.
Now I can.
I love you, Jessica.
I love you with all my heart.
- At that point, it was clear,
Kevin, wasn't gonna
leave her alone.
So we had to try the next thing,
which was finding another
ghost to take care of him.
- You mean another
ghost to kill him?
'Cause only a ghost
can kill another ghost.
- Very good, you were listening.
(gentle music)
Four years old.
- [Jessica] Where did
that come from?
- [Elena] That came from
the grave of David Buford.
- [Jessica] Who's David Buford?
- {Elena] I don't know.
We'll have to wait and see.
(animals howling)
David?
Are you David?
- Where's my cows.
- You looking for your cows?
- Yeah, my cows.
- [Kevin] Hey.
What is this?
Excuse me.
- You see that guy over there?
- [Kevin] Are you trying
to see Jessica?
- That guy has your cows.
- He has my cows?
- He killed your cows.
- He killed my cows?
- [Kevin] Who are?
What is this?
Are you here to see, Jessica?
- [David] You killed my cows.
- You can't see, stop,
you can't see Jessica.
You can't see her.
Get outta here freak.
- [David] You killed my cows.
(Kevin screaming)
(crows cawing)
(suspenseful music)
- Do you see Jessica?
Do you see what
I've done for you?
I can protect you.
I can keep you safe,
Jessica, only me.
I can keep you safe.
(suspenseful music)
- Okay, didn't work.
- You know any other ghosts?
- [Kevin] I will support
you, I will protect you,
for the rest of your life.
- Not really.
- Okay.
Let's just give him
what he wants.
- He wants you.
- [Kevin] And I'll
be there for you
for the rest of your days.
I'll never leave you Jessica.
Yes.
Jessica.
Come to me.
Finally, you understand Jessica.
You understand everything now?
Yes?
You see me and I see
you, Jessica, yes?
We are the same.
And you've always
loved me, Jessica.
You've always loved me.
And I see that now.
You've cared for me in the
way I've cared for you.
- [Jessica] I killed you.
- What?
- I killed you.
- No, you wouldn't do that.
- I did.
I stabbed you on
my front porch.
Do you remember?
- I do.
(insects chirping)
(wind gushing)
(door banging)
I do.
- Do you remember how that felt?
- Yes.
It was scary.
It was cold, Jessica.
And I was alone.
I was alone.
It was so sad.
It was terrible, Jessica.
It was a terrible feeling.
Jessica.
(Kevin gasping)
- That's how you made me
feel every day, Kevin.
- I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Jessica.
I'm sorry, Jessica.
I'm sorry, Jessica.
I'm sorry, Jessica.
- [Jessica] That was different.
- [Elena] Yeah.
- [Jessica] He actually
heard me.
- [Elena] Really?
- [Jessica] Yes.
I actually feel like he's
gonna leave me alone now.
(truck engine revving)
(birds chirping)
(gentle music)
- [Elena] All of this
is my grandma's land,
so nobody will find
the body here.
- [Jessica] You sure
it's deep enough?
- [Elena] Yeah, this actually
isn't the first time
I buried a body.
- [Jessica] I didn't
enjoy killing him.
- I know.
It's okay.
It's over.
(wind gushing)
(gentle music)
- [Kevin Voice] Hi
Jessica, it's Kevin.
I've just been thinking
of you a lot lately.
And I'm thinking about
what you're gonna say
when I get to Santa Fe
and what you're gonna do,
if you're gonna actually
be interested in me.
(fire crackling)
That's gonna be
something that's like,
I drive all this fucking
way and you don't even care.
(Kevin crying)
I just miss you so much.
I just really want
to talk to you.
I'm just sort of scared to
think about what could be,
what we could be together.
If you just.
If you just fucking open
yourself to me.
And I swear, I'm not
gonna do that anymore,
I'm not gonna punish myself,
I'm not gonna hit myself,
I'm not gonna hit you,
I'm not gonna hit anything.
I'm just gonna be
gentle with you.
And I just want you
to be gentle with me
because I've shared
so much with you
and it's really,
it's really making
me feel so much.
I'm just scared.
And I just need to
be in your arms.
It's been so fucking long.
(car engine revving)
(birds chirping)
- [Elena] So what are
you gonna do now?
- [Jessica] I'm going
back to California.
- [Elena] Well, I hope
we stay in touch.
- [Jessica] For sure.
(birds chirping)
(gentle music)
- [Radio Show Host] Hi Kids!
Can you believe it? The sun
rose again and that means
we got a good day ahead of us.
Just keep that radio dial
set to Highway 98 Folk.
Storekeeper swallowed
a nickel one day
Hold the woodpile down
Well it was crazy I must say
Hold the woodpile down
Now listen good, I'll
tell you all about
Hold the woodpile down
Just a nickel in
and a nickel out
Hold the woodpile
(suspenseful music)
(car engine revving)
- I'm sorry, Jessica.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Jessica.
I'm sorry, Jessica.
I'm sorry, Jessica.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Jessica.
I'm sorry, Jessica.
I'm sorry, Jessica.
I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
Who are you?
- Benny.
- [Kevin] You're a ghost.
- What?
- You gotta be a ghost.
Yeah, that's why we
bumped into each other.
Only ghosts can
touch other ghosts.
You don't know
where you are, do you?
You feeling a little
lost, a little confused.
Any idea how you got here?
(wind gushing)
Look it's okay.
It's okay, I'm a ghost too.
(wind gushing)
So you're just like walking
on this road or something?
- Yeah.
- You mind if I walk with you?
- Okay.
- I'm sorry I knocked
you into that ditch.
- I don't care.
- My name's Kevin by the way.
- Kevin.
- Kevin Morris.
- Morris.
- [Kevin] So how long
you been a ghost?
- [Benny] I don't know.
- [Kevin] Yeah, I just
found out I was a ghost,
very recently.
It's not that bad, you know,
you don't have to sleep,
you don't have to eat,
you don't have to go to
work or anything like that.
- [Benny] Yeah.
- [Kevin] Only downside is, you
gotta wear the same clothes.
Imagine if you're wearing
someone else's clothes
when you died,
that'd be terrible.
- [Benny] Ha, ha, funny.
- [Kevin] You're a
nice guy, Benny.
- [Benny] Thank you.
- [Kevin] You're
a good listener.
It's been a long
time since I felt that,
felt listened to, understood.
- [Benny] Yeah, Kevin.
- [Kevin] This is really good.
This feels like it's the
beginning of something
or something.
(Benny laughing)
- [Benny] Yeah.
(gentle music)
(gentle music)
(car engine revving)
- [Elena] Benny, do
you need a ride?
- Yeah.
- Here.
(car engine revving)
- You're in a good mood.
- Yeah.
- That's good.
- I have a friend.
- Do you?
Who's your friend?
- Kevin.
- Your friend is Kevin?
- Yeah.
He's a ghost.
I'm a ghost.
Did you know that?
- Yes, I did know that.
- I'm dead.
(Benny laughing)
- Do you remember dying?
- No.
- I hit you with my car.
It was an accident, I'm sorry.
(suspenseful music)
- No, it was on purpose.
- No, it was an accident.
- No.
(suspenseful music)
I wanted die.
I wanted to get hit.
(suspenseful music)
(car engine revving)
(suspenseful music)
- Why?
- I was alone.
Drop me off at 60.
That's where I'm meeting Kevin.
(ominous music)
- Okay.
(birds chirping)
(car engine revving)
- [Kevin] Benny, hey.
(car engines revving)
(car horn honking)
(truck engine revving)
- [Kevin] What's happening?
- [Kevin] You look good.
(car engines revving)
(taking indistinctly)
(truck engine revving)
(car engine revving)
- [Elena] And that's the story
of why I don't live alone.
Thanks for the ride.
- [Guy] Wait,
Wait, wait, wait, hold on!
- What?
- [Guy] At least tell
me where the ghosts go
after they disappear.
- I don't know.
Do they all go to
the same place?
- [Guy] Well.
- [Kevin] What is this place?
- [Benny] I don't know.
I feel like something
wants me to walk this way,
so I guess I will.
- [Kevin] Yeah, I
sorta feel that way too,
it's like, this way, you know?
- [Benny] Yeah.
Maybe we just walk together?
- [Kevin] Yes.
- [Benny] Kevin?
- [Kevin] Yes, Benny?
- [Benny] We're
friends, aren't we?
- [Kevin] Yes Benny,
yes we're friends.
Yes, of course.
- [Benny] Good.
I just,
you know,
was checking.
- [Kevin] We're definitely
friends, friends do this.
We walk together.
- [Benny] Yeah.
But where are we walking now?
- [Kevin] I don't know, Benny,
I just feel we should
just keep going straight
and see what happens.
- [Benny] Yeah.
Maybe,
maybe this is the end.
I don't know.
I'm ready.
(peaceful music)
[Jessica] This is great!
We've crossed off half our list.
-Yeah, we're zooming
right through this.
-Yeah.
-Where do we have to go next?
What's... what's left?
We need flowers.
-Okay.
Rectangle table cloths.
-Alright.
[BOTH] Wine!
-Can't ever have too much wine.
-It's gonna be a great party.
How are the RSVPs looking?
-Checked them
about 5 minutes ago.
-We're filling up.
Is Elena coming?
-She said she'd be there.
I got it, babe.
-Are you sure?
Yeah.
Okay...
[Girl] Excuse me?
-Yeah? What do you need?
[Girl] I don't know
where I am...
-What? You mean
like, location or...?
-We're in -
[Jessica] Montebello.
-Montebello.
(Approaching footsteps)
[Girl] I just, am confused...
I think I'm lost.
-Okay, well...
Where is it that
you're trying to go?
I don't know...
I don't even know
how I got here.
[Jessica] Hold on.
-Did you drive here?
Wait, wait-wait-wait...
Can you touch my hand?
(dramatic music)
- [Narrator] The handle remains!
(gentle music)
(insects chirping)
(gentle music)
(Woman moaning)
- [Guy] Damn.
I haven't fucked in the
back seat since high school.
So am I ever gonna
get to see your place?
(ominous music)
- I told you I have a roommate.
- [Guy] What is that mean?
Do you have a boyfriend?
- No.
I don't have a boyfriend.
- [Guy] Why else wouldn't I be
able to see your place then?
- Because I don't know
you and you don't know me.
- [Guy] All right, tell
me something about yourself.
- Like what?
- [Guy] I don't know.
What's your sign?
- My sign?
Scorpio.
- [Guy] And have you
always had roommates
or have you lived alone?
- No, I've lived alone,
for like a year.
- [Guy] Here in L.A.?
- No, in New Mexico.
- [Guy] But why in New Mexico?
- 'Cause I was hiding out,
in my grandma's trailer
in the middle of nowhere.
- [Guy] Hiding out?
And why were you hiding out?
(ominous music)
- Because I killed somebody.
- [Guy] Yeah.
Really?
Well, I mean,
I just had no idea,
I was hooking up
with a murderer.
So who was it?
Who did you kill?
- Do you really wanna know?
Got that freedom rolling on
There is a road
outside the door
That sometimes calls my name
When it's time to shift in
Thinking something's
about to change
Now it's either east or west
How will I know my way
Oh it's calling, calling me
From my home
(upbeat folk music)
From my home
- [Radio Show Host] That's

What are you doing here?
- Just looking after my
grandma's place down the road.
I thought you
lived in California.
- Yeah, I'm on a road trip.
- [Elena] Cool.
Where are you going?
- Just, just driving.
- Cool.
How you been?
- [Jessica] Good.
Good, you?
- Fine?
- We should catch up soon.
- Yeah.
Do you wanna come over
for a cup of coffee or?
- Yeah, I think I
should keep driving.
Good to see you.
- Yeah, nice to see you.
Safe travels.
- Yeah.

Hey.

- Okay.

there's a song you wanna hear
on that drive home from
work, call me 343-7598
and say it, I'm gonna play it.
Keep that radio dial
set to Highway 98 Folk.
Beef's on the meat hook
Flies on the bone
Devil's on the hillside.
Don't you hear him grown?
Turkey's playing seven-up

this place?
- [Jessica] Uh-huh.
Looks the same.
- [Elena] Yeah,
nothing's changed.
- [Jessica] What was
with that guy?
- [Elena] What?
- [Jessica] You stopped
for a hitchhiker.
- [Elena] Oh yeah.
That's my friend, Benny.
- [Jessica] He live around here?
- Yeah, he's a local.
He's a nice guy.
(gentle music)
(wind gushing)
(gentle music)
I can't believe we haven't
seen each other
since high school.
It's so wild.
I'm so glad you came over.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Glad we ran into each other.
- [Elena] Yeah, I know, me too.
- Yeah.
- So how are things
in California?
- [Jessica] I actually
left California.
- Really?
- [Jessica] Yeah.
- How come?
- I had a stalker.
(suspenseful music)
- Oh shit.
- Yeah.
Yeah, it got really bad.
- [Elena] Really?
- Yeah, that's why I
moved back to Santa Fe,
but then he found me there.
(car engine revving)
(truck horn honking)
- Jesus Christ.
I'm so sorry, that's terrifying.
Are you okay?
- No, no, I don't know.
I don't know.
- So what's your plan?
- I don't have a plan.
- 'Cause you know there's a
spare bedroom if you need it.
- Yeah, that might be good.
Yeah.
Thanks.
- Yeah.
Are you okay?
- [Jessica] Yeah.
Are you okay?
- Am I okay?
- It's good to see you.
- [Elena] Yeah, good to see you.
- Yeah.
(ominous music)
- [Elena] Did you go
to the police?
- [Jessica] Yeah.
They said he wasn't
breaking any laws.
Yeah.
I tried being nice.
Tried being mean.
Tried everything.
- [Elena] Is it
someone you know?
- [Jessica] Not really.
Apparently we had a class
together in college.
- [Elena] Hm.
What class?
- [Jessica] Doesn't matter.
- [Elena] Which class?
- [Jessica] Biology.
- [Elena] Hm.
What's his name?
- [Jessica] Kevin.
- Kevin, ugh.

(birds chirping)
That was my grandma's.
- [Jessica] So cute.
- Did you sleep okay?
- [Jessica] Yeah.
(birds chirping)
- Found that at the ruins.
You wanna go?
- Okay.
- Okay.
(radio host
talking indistinctly)
Used to be
(upbeat folk music)
I got me a woman
She's around my
size and height
She's a married woman
You know she treats
me all right
You don't believe I love
you. What a fool I've been
- [Jessica] Is that
your friend, Benny?
- Yeah, he likes this road.
(car engine revving)
(car horn honking)
(wind gushing)
(birds chirping)
(ominous music)
What?
- Let's go back this way.
- Why?
What's going on?
- You see that guy over there?
(suspenseful music)
He looks just like my stalker.
- Oh shit.
- Every tall, skinny, bald
white guy looks like my stalker.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Let's go.
(suspenseful music)
- [Kevin] Hi Jessica.
It's Kevin.
- [Elena] Whoa.
- And I just wanted to say.
- He does look like that
guy we saw today.
- I was thinking a lot
about what you said to me
last week on your birthday.
I don't think that you
meant everything you said,
but it did get under my skin
and it did get into my head.
I do think that if we're
gonna repair our relationship,
that you do need to find a way
in which you can
make it up to me,
in a way in which pleases me
and gets me
to where I need to be.
Jessica, Jessica,
Jessica, Jessica
Jessica, I'm gonna
tell you this once
and I'm gonna tell you
this only one time,
because I don't have
any more time.
Just call me back,
just talk to me.
I can't take the
this any longer.
I can't fucking take
this any longer.
So call me back and talk to me
so we can get in the same room
and I can fucking
smell you again.
Come on.
Hi Jessica, it's Kevin.
I've been driving for
like eight or nine hours
just on my way to
Santa Fe to see you.
And it's a little
lonely on the road.
It's like nothing around
in like any direction.
It's just making me
feel extra lonely.
So I'm just sending you things,
that makes me feel better
to just send you videos.
So I'm gonna like
keep doing that.
Okay, Jessica,
you need to wise up
to what's coming to you,
because if you keep fucking
ignoring me like this,
I'm not gonna play take
it easy when I see you,
when I get to you.
It's not gonna be fun for you,
it's not gonna be fun for me.
So just answer my texts,
answer these calls
and get back to me.
- And that's just two
weeks worth of letters.
You mind if I go take a shower?
- No, go for it.
(wind gushing)
- Jessica!
Jessica!
(suspenseful music)
Jessica.
Jessica!
Jessica!
(suspenseful music)
Jessica!
(door knocking)
- Jessica.
- [Jessica] Yeah.
- Kevin is outside.
- [Jessica] What?
- Kevin is here.
- [Jessica] What are
you talking about?
- Kevin is outside.
- That's not funny.
- [Elena] I'm not joking.
Maybe he followed
you from Santa Fe.
- That's not possible.
- [Elena] Maybe he tracked
your phone or something,
I don't know, but he's here.
- Hold on.
(suspenseful music)
- [Kevin] Jessica!
Jessica.
- What is going on?
- [Elena] He's still here.
- Jessica.
Jessica.
Jessica.
(suspenseful music)
- [Jessica] Who is that?
- Jessica.
- It's Kevin.
- Jessica.
- That's not Kevin.
- It's Kevin!
Jessica, hey, Jessica.
- What do you mean?
- It's not Kevin.
- How is that not Kevin?
- [Jessica] Because it's not.
- Who is it then?
- I don't know, why is he
saying my name?
- Because it's Kevin.
- That's not Kevin.
- [Kevin] Talk to me, Jessica!
- [Elena] What the fuck?
Where'd he go?
- I'm leaving.
- What?
- [Jessica] I'm
getting outta here.
- Jessica.
Jessica.
Is there something
you're not telling me?
- [Jessica] Nope.
- Why do you think
that's not Kevin?
- Because it's not.
- [Elena] Who else could it be?
- [Jessica] I don't know.
- [Elena] Jessica, wait,
don't go outside
Jessica, you have a
stalker, I'm trying to help.
- [Jessica] You can't help.
- What are you talking about?
Jessica, can you please just
explain to me what's going on?
(ominous music)
Oh fuck.
Okay.
So that wasn't Kevin.
- Obviously.
- Because Kevin is dead.
- [Jessica] Exactly.
- So
- That was Kevin's ghost.
Wait, wait.
No, no, no, no, no,
Jessica, Jessica, hold on,
whatever happened,
you can tell me.
(suspenseful music)
(car engine revving)
(car engine revving)
- [Kevin] Jessica!
Jessica!
- What the fuck?
- [Kevin] Jessica
it's Kevin, Jessica.
(car engine revving)
Jessica, Jessica,
Jessica, Jessica, Jessica.
(car engine revving)
(suspenseful music)
- Oh my God, what the fuck?
(window knocking)
- You are not crazy,
this is happening.
Just come back.
My grandma was a mystic
and a romantic.
And when my grandpa died,
she cast a spell on her
land to reconnect with him.
So when you brought
Kevin's body here,
the spell summoned
Kevin's ghost.
- So how do I get
rid of the ghost?
I get rid of the body?
- No, that won't do anything.
There are three ways
to get rid of a ghost.
One, the ghost chooses
to leave on its own.
Two, you get another
ghost to kill the ghost.
Yes, ghosts can
kill other ghosts.
Or three, you give the
ghost what it wants.
- He wants me.
- I know.
Don't worry, he can't
come inside.
So you're just gonna stay here,
you're gonna relax.
And I'm gonna take
care of everything.
- The fucking things
that we've had together.
And she doesn't even care.
She's just wandering around.
Not even paying attention to me.
Acting like I wasn't
there watching her.
Please I've done
so much for her,
I've done so much for Jessica.
I've sent her letters,
I've sent her phone calls.
I've sent her emails,
I've talked to her.
I've sent her messages.
I've been on road
trips to her house
and she doesn't
come out to answer
because I'm like
an idiot to her.
I'm invisible, I'm walking
around like a stupid person.
And I wanna do things for
her and I want to be her.
I wanna kiss her, I wanna
love her, I wanna tickle her.
I wanna see her calves and
her legs and her thighs.
I mean, there's everything
about her that I want.
- He's a ghost.
- [Kevin] When I
see the stars and I.
- He can't do anything.
- And I see her and
my love is for her,
and it's in the stars.
- [Elena] He doesn't
even know he's a ghost.
- It's for her.
And she doesn't love me,
she doesn't appreciate
anything I do.
And I'm deep for her
and I'm wide for her.
And it's confusing because
my whole life is about her.
My supreme life is about
her and she doesn't care.
And that's frustrating
for me because you know,
it's not the first time
that I've been in love.
And I see her and
I'm in love with her.
Okay, I said it,
I said it, I said it,
I'm in love for her, with her.
It's fucking Valentine's
day everyday for her
and she doesn't appreciate it.
She appreciates nothing
that I've done for her.
And it's not fair,
it's not fair.
I mean, I've been
the guy here suffering,
I've been the one suffering.
She acts like, she's
the one who's suffering,
which is not real.
You know, I'm the
one who's out here
waiting for her and giving her
everything that I can muster.
And she's not
giving me anything.
And that's not fair,
that's not fair for me
as a man who works hard,
who makes money,
tries to get a love.
Okay, when you see someone who
loves you, you accept that,
you don't say no, you don't go.
That's not gonna come
around again in your life.
That's not gonna come
around, Jessica.
That's not gonna come around!
- [Elena] He's not gonna stop.
- And you should see
it when you know it
and know it when you see it.
And it's right here,
plain as day.
So see it, don't see it,
I'm still gonna be here.
I'm not saying what she is.
I'm not saying what she
is, is mine, that's stupid.
It's not a law, it's not a law
that I have a right to you.
It's not about rights.
But it is about desserts,
about what you deserve.
When you give this much,
you deserve something back.
That's what it is.
People think that I don't
understand that, but I do.
And for me, there's many
things that I do deserve
that people don't understand.
One Jessica, because you know.
Okay, I understand it's
not people, it's society,
they're brainwashed
into thinking,
give everything to your job,
give everything to your money.
But for me, you just
give it to a person.
That's what it is.
That's all that matters.
You know, and people don't
seem to really understand
and grasp the true essence
of what that means.
Because for me,
it's clear, it's simple.
And for Jessica it's not.
And that that's
part of my mission.
Get her to understand,
get her to see,
get her to open her
eyes and her heart,
not only to me, but to
the world around her,
which she doesn't understand.
The beauty, the power,
she doesn't get it.
And it's sad really,
because I'm trying to
just do what I can for her.
And she's blind.
She's deaf, dumb and blind.
And I'm trying to make
her speak here and talk.
And I keep saying, people go,
"Hey, Kevin, what are you doing?
"Why are you spending all
your time off this one person
"who doesn't even like you?"
Well, A, that's not true.
B, it's better than money
because there's one
thing important in life
and that's people.
And if you don't have a person,
you don't have a person,
and that's sad.
You gotta get one.
You've gotta get one.
Even if they don't
know it's you,
you gotta do something
to get her or him.
People don't seem to understand
that what I'm doing is
not some sort of like,
thing, okay, it's real.
It's not my job.
Okay, it's not my job.
It's not my hobby.
It's it's my purpose.
(gentle music)
Jessica.
I don't get it, I don't
get her sometimes
because she is kind, well to me.
But I've seen her be kind,
I've seen her be smart.
I've seen her be
not really funny,
but you know, silly.
Well, not really.
I do think that she likes me.
I do think that there's
a possibility here
because maybe she hasn't shown
it, but anything is possible.
People who say nothing
is possible are stupid.
[Kevin mumbling indistinctly]
- Kevin.
- Who are you?
- I'm Elena, I'm
Jessica's friend.
- Jessica?
- You don't know where
you are, do you?
- Excuse me?
- You feel a little
lost, a little confused.
Any idea how you got here?
- I'm-
- Nothing, right?
- Where is Jessica?
- You're a ghost, Kevin.
- What?
- You're a ghost, you're dead.
- No, no, I'm not.
- You are.
- What are you, crazy?
- Touch my hand.
See, you're a ghost.
Ghosts can only
touch other ghosts.
It's over.
Move on.
- But Jessica.
- [Elena] You can't
touch Jessica.
- I can't touch Jessica?
- No, you can't touch Jessica.
- I can't touch Jessica.
I can't touch Jessica.
I can't touch Jessica.
I can't touch Jessica.
(gentle music)
(wind gushing)
Can't touch Jessica.
Can't touch Jessica.
Can't touch Jessica.
Can't touch Jessica.
Can't kiss her lips.
Can't hold her hand.
I can't brush her hair.
I can't be with Jessica.
I can't be with Jessica.
I can't be with Jessica.
But I'm still with Jessica.
I'm still with her.
I can still talk to her.
She can still hear me.
I can still be
there for Jessica.
I can still be there for her.
I could be there for
her more than ever.
I don't have to eat.
I don't have to sleep.
I don't have to work.
I can just be with her.
I can listen to her.
I can talk to her,
all day long, I mean, this is
good, this is a good thing.
Yeah, this is good,
this is good, yeah.
(cow mooing)
[Kevin] Jessica!
Jessica!
I'm here for you, Jessica.
I am here for you now,
I'm here for you forever.
I'm here for you in a way
I have never been before.
I am present for you.
I could be at your side, always.
I am here to help you
forever and ever, Jessica.
Anytime you need me,
I will be there.
I will be your man.
I love you, Jessica.
I love you.
And I want you to take
me however you want.
And I will be here for you
every second of every day,
every second of every night.
We can do it, Jessica.
It's a fact, you and
I can be together.
It's not a mystery.
It's not against the law.
We can do this.
We can do this, Jessica.
That's all that matters.
I'll be at your side, at your
doorstep, under your bed,
behind your door,
wherever you may go,
I will be there.
I will be supporting
you and loving you
and together we can
grow, Jessica,
we can grow together.
Anything you need,
I can provide.
I devote myself to you.
I am here for you, Jessica.
I can see you and hear you.
Before I couldn't do that.
Now I can.
I love you, Jessica.
I love you with all my heart.
- At that point, it was clear,
Kevin, wasn't gonna
leave her alone.
So we had to try the next thing,
which was finding another
ghost to take care of him.
- You mean another
ghost to kill him?
'Cause only a ghost
can kill another ghost.
- Very good, you were listening.
(gentle music)
Four years old.
- [Jessica] Where did
that come from?
- [Elena] That came from
the grave of David Buford.
- [Jessica] Who's David Buford?
- {Elena] I don't know.
We'll have to wait and see.
(animals howling)
David?
Are you David?
- Where's my cows.
- You looking for your cows?
- Yeah, my cows.
- [Kevin] Hey.
What is this?
Excuse me.
- You see that guy over there?
- [Kevin] Are you trying
to see Jessica?
- That guy has your cows.
- He has my cows?
- He killed your cows.
- He killed my cows?
- [Kevin] Who are?
What is this?
Are you here to see, Jessica?
- [David] You killed my cows.
- You can't see, stop,
you can't see Jessica.
You can't see her.
Get outta here freak.
- [David] You killed my cows.
(Kevin screaming)
(crows cawing)
(suspenseful music)
- Do you see Jessica?
Do you see what
I've done for you?
I can protect you.
I can keep you safe,
Jessica, only me.
I can keep you safe.
(suspenseful music)
- Okay, didn't work.
- You know any other ghosts?
- [Kevin] I will support
you, I will protect you,
for the rest of your life.
- Not really.
- Okay.
Let's just give him
what he wants.
- He wants you.
- [Kevin] And I'll
be there for you
for the rest of your days.
I'll never leave you Jessica.
Yes.
Jessica.
Come to me.
Finally, you understand Jessica.
You understand everything now?
Yes?
You see me and I see
you, Jessica, yes?
We are the same.
And you've always
loved me, Jessica.
You've always loved me.
And I see that now.
You've cared for me in the
way I've cared for you.
- [Jessica] I killed you.
- What?
- I killed you.
- No, you wouldn't do that.
- I did.
I stabbed you on
my front porch.
Do you remember?
- I do.
(insects chirping)
(wind gushing)
(door banging)
I do.
- Do you remember how that felt?
- Yes.
It was scary.
It was cold, Jessica.
And I was alone.
I was alone.
It was so sad.
It was terrible, Jessica.
It was a terrible feeling.
Jessica.
(Kevin gasping)
- That's how you made me
feel every day, Kevin.
- I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Jessica.
I'm sorry, Jessica.
I'm sorry, Jessica.
I'm sorry, Jessica.
- [Jessica] That was different.
- [Elena] Yeah.
- [Jessica] He actually
heard me.
- [Elena] Really?
- [Jessica] Yes.
I actually feel like he's
gonna leave me alone now.
(truck engine revving)
(birds chirping)
(gentle music)
- [Elena] All of this
is my grandma's land,
so nobody will find
the body here.
- [Jessica] You sure
it's deep enough?
- [Elena] Yeah, this actually
isn't the first time
I buried a body.
- [Jessica] I didn't
enjoy killing him.
- I know.
It's okay.
It's over.
(wind gushing)
(gentle music)
- [Kevin Voice] Hi
Jessica, it's Kevin.
I've just been thinking
of you a lot lately.
And I'm thinking about
what you're gonna say
when I get to Santa Fe
and what you're gonna do,
if you're gonna actually
be interested in me.
(fire crackling)
That's gonna be
something that's like,
I drive all this fucking
way and you don't even care.
(Kevin crying)
I just miss you so much.
I just really want
to talk to you.
I'm just sort of scared to
think about what could be,
what we could be together.
If you just.
If you just fucking open
yourself to me.
And I swear, I'm not
gonna do that anymore,
I'm not gonna punish myself,
I'm not gonna hit myself,
I'm not gonna hit you,
I'm not gonna hit anything.
I'm just gonna be
gentle with you.
And I just want you
to be gentle with me
because I've shared
so much with you
and it's really,
it's really making
me feel so much.
I'm just scared.
And I just need to
be in your arms.
It's been so fucking long.
(car engine revving)
(birds chirping)
- [Elena] So what are
you gonna do now?
- [Jessica] I'm going
back to California.
- [Elena] Well, I hope
we stay in touch.
- [Jessica] For sure.
(birds chirping)
(gentle music)
- [Radio Show Host] Hi Kids!
Can you believe it? The sun
rose again and that means
we got a good day ahead of us.
Just keep that radio dial
set to Highway 98 Folk.
Storekeeper swallowed
a nickel one day
Hold the woodpile down
Well it was crazy I must say
Hold the woodpile down
Now listen good, I'll
tell you all about
Hold the woodpile down
Just a nickel in
and a nickel out
Hold the woodpile
(suspenseful music)
(car engine revving)
- I'm sorry, Jessica.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Jessica.
I'm sorry, Jessica.
I'm sorry, Jessica.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Jessica.
I'm sorry, Jessica.
I'm sorry, Jessica.
I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
Who are you?
- Benny.
- [Kevin] You're a ghost.
- What?
- You gotta be a ghost.
Yeah, that's why we
bumped into each other.
Only ghosts can
touch other ghosts.
You don't know
where you are, do you?
You feeling a little
lost, a little confused.
Any idea how you got here?
(wind gushing)
Look it's okay.
It's okay, I'm a ghost too.
(wind gushing)
So you're just like walking
on this road or something?
- Yeah.
- You mind if I walk with you?
- Okay.
- I'm sorry I knocked
you into that ditch.
- I don't care.
- My name's Kevin by the way.
- Kevin.
- Kevin Morris.
- Morris.
- [Kevin] So how long
you been a ghost?
- [Benny] I don't know.
- [Kevin] Yeah, I just
found out I was a ghost,
very recently.
It's not that bad, you know,
you don't have to sleep,
you don't have to eat,
you don't have to go to
work or anything like that.
- [Benny] Yeah.
- [Kevin] Only downside is, you
gotta wear the same clothes.
Imagine if you're wearing
someone else's clothes
when you died,
that'd be terrible.
- [Benny] Ha, ha, funny.
- [Kevin] You're a
nice guy, Benny.
- [Benny] Thank you.
- [Kevin] You're
a good listener.
It's been a long
time since I felt that,
felt listened to, understood.
- [Benny] Yeah, Kevin.
- [Kevin] This is really good.
This feels like it's the
beginning of something
or something.
(Benny laughing)
- [Benny] Yeah.
(gentle music)
(gentle music)
(car engine revving)
- [Elena] Benny, do
you need a ride?
- Yeah.
- Here.
(car engine revving)
- You're in a good mood.
- Yeah.
- That's good.
- I have a friend.
- Do you?
Who's your friend?
- Kevin.
- Your friend is Kevin?
- Yeah.
He's a ghost.
I'm a ghost.
Did you know that?
- Yes, I did know that.
- I'm dead.
(Benny laughing)
- Do you remember dying?
- No.
- I hit you with my car.
It was an accident, I'm sorry.
(suspenseful music)
- No, it was on purpose.
- No, it was an accident.
- No.
(suspenseful music)
I wanted die.
I wanted to get hit.
(suspenseful music)
(car engine revving)
(suspenseful music)
- Why?
- I was alone.
Drop me off at 60.
That's where I'm meeting Kevin.
(ominous music)
- Okay.
(birds chirping)
(car engine revving)
- [Kevin] Benny, hey.
(car engines revving)
(car horn honking)
(truck engine revving)
- [Kevin] What's happening?
- [Kevin] You look good.
(car engines revving)
(taking indistinctly)
(truck engine revving)
(car engine revving)
- [Elena] And that's the story
of why I don't live alone.
Thanks for the ride.
- [Guy] Wait,
Wait, wait, wait, hold on!
- What?
- [Guy] At least tell
me where the ghosts go
after they disappear.
- I don't know.
Do they all go to
the same place?
- [Guy] Well.
- [Kevin] What is this place?
- [Benny] I don't know.
I feel like something
wants me to walk this way,
so I guess I will.
- [Kevin] Yeah, I
sorta feel that way too,
it's like, this way, you know?
- [Benny] Yeah.
Maybe we just walk together?
- [Kevin] Yes.
- [Benny] Kevin?
- [Kevin] Yes, Benny?
- [Benny] We're
friends, aren't we?
- [Kevin] Yes Benny,
yes we're friends.
Yes, of course.
- [Benny] Good.
I just,
you know,
was checking.
- [Kevin] We're definitely
friends, friends do this.
We walk together.
- [Benny] Yeah.
But where are we walking now?
- [Kevin] I don't know, Benny,
I just feel we should
just keep going straight
and see what happens.
- [Benny] Yeah.
Maybe,
maybe this is the end.
I don't know.
I'm ready.
(peaceful music)
[Jessica] This is great!
We've crossed off half our list.
-Yeah, we're zooming
right through this.
-Yeah.
-Where do we have to go next?
What's... what's left?
We need flowers.
-Okay.
Rectangle table cloths.
-Alright.
[BOTH] Wine!
-Can't ever have too much wine.
-It's gonna be a great party.
How are the RSVPs looking?
-Checked them
about 5 minutes ago.
-We're filling up.
Is Elena coming?
-She said she'd be there.
I got it, babe.
-Are you sure?
Yeah.
Okay...
[Girl] Excuse me?
-Yeah? What do you need?
[Girl] I don't know
where I am...
-What? You mean
like, location or...?
-We're in -
[Jessica] Montebello.
-Montebello.
(Approaching footsteps)
[Girl] I just, am confused...
I think I'm lost.
-Okay, well...
Where is it that
you're trying to go?
I don't know...
I don't even know
how I got here.
[Jessica] Hold on.
-Did you drive here?
Wait, wait-wait-wait...
Can you touch my hand?
