Wow! You know, I never thought we'd find anywhere at such short notice, it's -It's been so stressful.
-What happened to your last venue? Oh, gas leak.
It blew sky high.
-Well, it's rubble.
-That's unfortunate.
You know, my partner will freak if he thinks that you haven't done a wedding before.
Well, then let's not tell him.
Whoever he is, he is a very lucky man.
I'd be very careful flirting with me.
Yeah? Why's that? So can you really pull this all together in under a week? No sweat.
You just get on with your hen do and leave the rest to me.
I'm not really a hen do type of girl.
You sure? It's your last chance to sow some wild oats.
Are you offering? I'm serious.
(SHE GASPS) What happened? That shouldn't have happened.
I won't tell a soul.
(WEDDING MARCH PLAYING ON MUSIC BOX) Have you just had another shower? So? Who are you, my mother? Looks like I've got a wedding function in the bag.
-Fancy running the bar? -How much? -Sort something out.
-No, you show me the money first and then maybe I'll bite.
You've got that look on your face.
What have you been doing? -Wouldn't you like to know? -No.
I wouldn't, actually.
Look, you can't just come in like that, okay? What are you doing? What all boys do on their computers when they're alone? Oh, grow up.
What can I help you with? -What are you doing? -Look.
I was just looking at that weird blog.
Looking at or writing? What the hell is this? Is this public? Can anyone read this? I was just trying "A picture drawn by mystery newcomer.
" That's mine.
Max, that's That's my drawing.
This is my life that you're putting on the internet for any weirdo to read! Are you out of your mind? All right, so this is just a game to you, is it? All of this? And Cass dying, what, that's just a game, too? -Look, I'm interested in what's -Just close it down.
But I put a lot of work And don't dare try and justify what you've done.
Apart from anything, it's dangerous! Have you got any idea of the lunatics you could be attracting? No, clearly you don't understand what we're dealing with here.
(DOOR SLAMS) I've got something to show you.
Good work.
I don't think we've seen the last of him.
I'm going to find out who he is.
You okay? Missing Kate? It's just, uh I'm not really sleeping.
You were very close, weren't you? Didn't you bring her up all by yourself? Yeah.
No other family? Well, then, you're bound to miss her.
I think there's something not right in my head.
-(DOOR BANGS) -Ooh! Here.
I'll give you a hand.
Oh, thank you.
-Max! -Reeta, I don't believe it.
-How are you? -I'm good.
Yeah, I'm good.
-You look amazing.
-Thanks.
-It's been years.
-It has.
-Are you living here? -Yeah, yeah.
Me, too.
Bloody hell.
-Well, what have you been up to? -Oh, just this and that.
You look You look really amazing.
-I've said that already, haven't I? -Yes, you have.
Um, I've got so much to sort out so -I'd better go.
-Oh, wait.
Are you in the confectionary business or something? Yeah, something like that.
I used to love these when I was a kid.
Oh, well, take it.
Take it.
It's all right.
Thank you.
It's good to see you, yeah? -See you around.
-Yeah, sure.
-(MOBILE RINGING) -Oh.
Hello? -(WEDDING MARCH PLAYING ON MUSIC BOX) -Ed? (MOBILE RINGING) (STATIC) Hello? Kate! (BEEP) (WEDDING MARCH PLAYING) (TV PLAYING) WOMAN ON TV: This quiet village has been taken over today by a dedicated band (CRACKLING) (HEAVY BANGING) (SCREAMS) (LAUGHING) That's not funny.
What's this? Our vows.
The shortlist.
Tell me which ones you like.
(REETA SIGHS) DAN: And this is where we'll have the aisle.
Can you really pull this together in a few days? No sweat.
There's plenty of time.
Oh, this is brilliant.
Just brilliant.
You are a life-saver, mate.
I'm surprised that you like it.
No offence, it's just that, well, you picked holes in everything in the last place.
Reeta, two days ago I thought this wedding wasn't going to happen and now it is.
Well, you bet I'm happy.
Aren't you? Yeah, I am.
Cute kid.
A bit weird looking.
Do you want to draw me? We could do it nude.
-In my bedroom.
-Piss off.
You all right? It doesn't have to be nude.
Or in my bedroom.
Another time, maybe.
I'll hold you to that.
Ta-da! Peace offering? Clearly you don't know how angry I am.
I'm getting a very good sense of it right now.
You are such a stupid sod sometimes.
Did you really think I wouldn't find out? Oh, come on, it wasn't meant maliciously, you know? Max, this is about real people's lives! I know it's about real people, okay? 'Cause I'm one of them.
I saw my dad sitting on the end of my bed every night for months.
I was eight.
He'd died the year before.
I'm I'm sorry, I didn't know.
Why would you? Look.
Blog's shut down.
It's no more.
Good.
Where did you get these? Well, they're from my old girlfriend from when I was 17, who's now living in the building.
Seriously? (SCREAMING) (GASPS) I saw something.
I saw someone in trouble.
-What happened? -They were about to get married and -Max, I'm scared.
-It's okay, you don't have to be scared.
Don't I? Look what happened to Cass.
Who's Eve? I keep seeing her.
She's not like one of your revenants.
But she's not real, either.
I think she wants to tell me what she knows.
-Knows about what? -I don't know yet.
Maybe it's something about Jed or Well, it might even be why I'm here.
But she seems scared and I feel like she's starting to trust me.
(FOOTSTEPS SQUEAKING) -Someone's been in my flat.
-What? -Yeah.
-I'll get Security to look into it.
Please.
Look, did you tell anyone? No, of course not.
Okay, thanks.
You okay? Do this often, do you? I've had my moments.
Well, quite a few moments.
I don't know what the hell I'm doing half the time.
-So, I'm guessing your fiancé -He's got no idea.
You think I'm proper crazy, right? No.
But I wonder if I can't believe I'm saying this.
Is getting married a good idea? It's as good as any.
You know, I've put my family through a lot these past years.
I just want to give them a happy ending.
It's what they deserve.
So what about what you want? I mean, how come you keep doing stuff like this? Well, that's why I want to get married.
It will help me sort my act out.
I'm not sure it works like that.
Yeah, well, it better or I'm damned.
If I ask again, can you please say no? You make it pretty difficult.
Max, Ellie, this is Reeta, who's getting married.
Can you show her through the wine list tomorrow? Yeah, sure.
-Hi.
-Hi.
-So, I will see you tomorrow? -Yeah.
Do you know her? Is that your ex-girlfriend from school? Yeah.
She's gorgeous! She dump you? No.
-I dumped her, actually.
-Really? Do you think she's out of my league? -No, I never said that.
-She's changed quite a bit, actually.
She was a bit of a wallflower when I last knew her.
Now you gutted you let her go? No.
I couldn't care less, actually.
This one's very drinkable.
It's a bit cheaper.
This one's got like a biscuity flavour.
It's a bit more expensive.
I don't think anyone's going to notice the difference.
Someone will.
You've changed so much.
-Have I? -The way you look, the way you dress.
I get a lot of stuff from work.
I work at Zara.
On the shop floor.
I thought you wanted to be a doctor? Well, I started medical school but, um, it didn't work out.
And that was your big dream.
I'm marrying a doctor, it's the next best thing.
You know, um, you broke my teenage heart.
I know.
I am sorry.
It's a bit too late to ask for a second chance though now, isn't it? Just a bit.
Ellie.
-You know Reeta, right? -Yeah.
It's nice to meet you properly.
I've heard loads about you.
(SOBBING) (CRYING) Please, no! (GASPS) Ellie? Can we do this later? (MOBILE RINGING) -Is Reeta in danger? -I don't know yet.
I'm not going to let anything happen to her.
Oh, aren't you the chivalrous one? Oh, Max, my life has gone to shit.
I really thought that by coming here I'd find the answers.
I don't even know what I'm looking for.
That's what I'm here for, huh? You know when you saw your dad? I knew he was a revenant.
I mean, he was there but I knew he was not alive.
You know, it's funny, I was eight years old and it made perfect sense to me.
-Were you scared? -No.
I mean, it was comforting, you know? Although I knew he was trying to tell me something.
But I never understood what it was.
I mean, the scariest part was when he stopped appearing altogether.
'Cause then I knew he was really gone.
Dan.
Hey.
Come with me.
I need to show you something.
They were there.
Pictures of Kate.
-I'm losing my mind.
-It's okay.
Hey, I'm here.
I can help you through this.
Thanks.
Kate's gone.
But I'm here now.
You can rely on me.
(WEDDING MARCH PLAYING ON MUSIC BOX) (WHIMPERS) (SCREAMS) Reeta? Reeta? It's okay.
It's okay, you're okay.
(DOOR OPENS) Max, Reeta was sleepwalking last night.
She dreamt she was haemorrhaging blood.
-What do you think the revenant wants? -I don't know.
I know that she didn't get to go through with her wedding.
She ended up here.
Something nasty happened.
Well, I told you I had a bad feeling about that wedding.
Oh, and it's not just 'cause you're jealous? So what are we going to do? Well, now's a good time to have a look around.
Ah, I thought I might rustle up something tasty for you tonight.
You don't live here, Kiera.
You don't just have the right to come and go as you please.
Hang on, you gave me keys.
-What's the problem? -Nothing.
It's just Hey, what's wrong? -You don't seem yourself.
-I'm not.
Why don't you let me take your mind off things? Hmm? Wait a minute.
It's you, isn't it? What is? The photos, letting yourself into my flat.
Sorry, what are you talking about? What photos? I just thought I don't know what I think.
Just give me a break, all right? -I don't know what you want from me.
-Neither do I.
Fine.
(SIGHS) What are we looking for? Dan said that someone scrawled all over something.
Ssh I can see what she wants.
What have you found? Look at this.
"Forsaking all others.
" What do you think? (DOOR OPENING) Max! What are you doing? No, no, no, no.
Wait, wait.
I'm worried about you.
I'm just trying to help you.
You broke into my flat? It's not how it looks, okay? -It's you.
It's you! -Just listen to me, okay? Oh, get off! You've got five seconds to get out of here before I call the police.
Reeta, no, no.
Don't, please, you've got this all wrong.
Well, get out.
Now she thinks that I'm some kind of crazy stalker, you know? Dickhead's here, I'm getting out of here.
All right, I'll try and get in.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR) I just found my ex in here.
-Max.
-What, in the flat? Yeah.
-Well, let's call the police.
-No! No, look, he's just a jealous kid that wants his ball back.
You can't be serious? I don't want this the night before the big day.
-I can't leave you on your own.
-Oh, it's fine, it's fine.
We want to make this romantic and special, so let's just do it properly.
I'll call a friend if I need company.
(SIGHS) Okay.
I can't wait for tomorrow.
(SIGHS) (WEDDING MARCH PLAYING ON MUSIC BOX) (SCREAMING) Reeta? (REETA SOBBING) (ELLIE KNOCKING) Are you okay? I can't account for anything that's been happening to me.
It's like I'm It's like I'm being haunted.
Like someone knows the mistake I made.
What mistake? I can't believe I'm telling you this.
Okay, a few days ago with a guy and then again yesterday.
I don't know why I did it.
I really don't.
I feel pretty wretched about it.
-Who was it? -I can't tell you that.
-Why do you think you did it? -I don't know.
Ed's a lovely guy.
My family love him.
I'm just a screw-up.
I work in a shop.
I nearly got married once.
Set the date and everything and then it just fell apart.
How come? Well, things were happening to me and You know, I wasn't in the right head space.
It was the right decision and that's the sad truth.
In my heart of hearts, I knew that.
And perhaps it's the same for you.
Maybe you know it's not the right time.
Maybe you shouldn't get married.
Maybe you shouldn't tell people what to do just because you screwed up.
I'm not telling you what to do, I'm just Well, I'm just saying that you didn't sleep with that guy for no reason.
Well, it's not going to happen again.
As of now, because I'm going to get married.
(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING) (MOBILE BEEPS) A word, please.
That was unfair.
I'm sorry.
You don't deserve to be treated like that.
You're right.
-You don't know how lucky you are.
-I know.
-Fancy a drink? -Er, I'm all right, thank you.
Where are we going? You and me? (SIGHS) Why don't we tell everyone? That would be a start.
Yeah, I'm sure your parents would love that.
I don't care.
-What? -Nothing.
It's been going on a while.
About time people knew.
Right.
Fine, you know.
Is there a problem? -No.
-So are you going for it with anyone? In fact, I don't remember the last time I saw you with a girl.
You know what? Thanks for making me feel a lot better about myself.
Sorry.
I mean, it's been two years since my last serious relationship.
Wow.
That is bad.
It's not only that, you know.
I've lost my confidence.
Have you got your eye on someone? Someone you're already friends with? -What if she says no? -What if, what if Nothing.
"What if" doesn't get you anywhere.
Just go for it, Max.
What have you got to lose? (DOOR OPENS) Hi.
Cheeky Merlot? Bride's paying, so let's not tell her.
Do you know, she's not well.
Maybe you should talk to her and try and get her to call it off.
Hey, it's none of my business.
Or yours, for that matter.
Hmm.
I wish it wasn't.
What's up? Just reminds me of my own wedding.
That never happened.
Well, if it bothers you so much, why don't you fight to get him back? -It's not that simple.
-Isn't it? Usually is.
What do you know about long-term relationships? You probably think that two weeks is a marriage.
-You don't know me.
-Hmm, you don't know me, either.
I know you gave up a man you really liked and a job you really liked and turned up here.
And I don't I don't really know why.
Neither do I at the moment.
So? What happened? -Hey, don't worry about anything -I'm just having a really bad day.
Just feel a bit lonely and Yeah.
I know that feeling.
Will you take me to bed? Ellie? DAN: We should do this more often.
(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING) Morning.
Morning.
You all right? That was fun.
-Told you I'd cheer you up.
-Yeah, you did.
Morning.
There's coffee in the pot.
(SPOON RATTLING) Don't you knock? I did! Well, I can't stand you being in a mood with me today.
I'm not in a mood with you.
You can do what you like, okay? Where did you get that ring from? Listen, Reeta's a mess.
I tried to talk to her about postponing the wedding but (SIGHS) Did you just see something before I walked in? What happened? What happened to the ghost? I think she died of a broken heart.
She didn't get a chance to marry, she didn't get a chance to leave this place.
Max, we can't have another Cass, we have to stop this wedding.
So, what? You think the ghost is angry because Reeta's getting hitched? No, the ghost thinks that Reeta's disrespecting the institution of marriage.
-What do you mean? -She slept with someone else.
-Forsaking all others, remember? -Well, who did she sleep with? Well, she didn't really want to tell me but I think it's someone from this building.
Hey.
Mate, we need to get a move on.
The bar needs setting up.
The guests will be arriving soon.
Looking forward to Reeta and Ed's big day, are we? I just want to get through it without any disasters.
So get your skates on! (ETHEREAL WHOOSHING) (ETHEREAL WHOOSHING) -Oh, you look wonderful! -Mum! Dad.
-You did a grand job.
-Cheers.
(CHURCH ORGAN PLAYING WEDDING MARCH) (ETHEREAL WHOOSHING) Oh, Christ.
Maybe it's just warning her, maybe it won't do anything.
There's a whole room full of people in here, -what's it going to do? -I don't think they get self-conscious in front of a crowd.
I'd like to welcome you all warmly to the marriage of Reeta Montague and Edmund Rogers.
(SNIGGERS) Edmund? (DOOR SLAMS) Shit.
Now, before I begin, as formality dictates, I do need to ask -Bloody hell, it's freezing in here.
-Max, we have to do something.
if anybody present knows of any reason why these two people should not be lawfully joined in marriage, speak now or forever hold your peace.
(SCREAMING) Reeta slept with my flatmate Dan last week! (PEOPLE MURMURING) (SOBBING) (SCREAMING) (WEDDING MARCH PLAYING ON MUSIC BOX) -(REETA SCREAMING) -Reeta! Hang on, I'm coming! Max, she's trying to kill me.
I can't hold you! Give me your other hand! Tell her to call off the wedding.
Just do it! I'm not getting married! I'm not getting married! What is this place? I have to get out of here.
You knew! You knew something weird was going on.
Tell me it's not true! What happened? I've got to get out of here.
-Reeta! -No, just leave me, please.
Leave me.
-What about the wedding? -I'm I'm not marrying you.
I'm not marrying anyone.
Just leave me, please.
Is it true? It was a stupid thing to do.
She was just being flirty Oh, yeah, blame the vulnerable woman you took advantage of.
I shouldn't have done it.
But it's not the same as what happened with me and you.
For God's sake, look, I really like you.
-And I don't want this to -No chance.
Never again.
(DOOR CLOSES) (YOUNG GIRL SOBBING) You can keep it if you want.
I won't hurt you.
Eve, what are you scared of? Who is he? (SCREAMING) (EVE SCREAMS)
