"Call it instinct, call it whatever you like but I don't trust him." "He is after something here." "I don't know what but something." "Whats wrong, I can't understand?" "I don't understand what you're talking about." "So after the divorce I left New York and came here to stay with Mum for now." "Way I was now is in its 10th month." "I should write them and thank them." "Be careful." "I am a lady on a rebound." "Is it me?" "No, its me." "If I try to explain you would probably think, I was insane." "May be I am." "Ann, I have something I was going to take to Grandma this morning." "I'm just I better not, could you do it for me?" "Ihave a tennis date with Pete at 10." "Take this away, not hungry." "Mother." "You better should eat." "On its own fact with nice things, first thing." "Besides this, you haven't seen your grandmother for months." "I do." "Its nice for you to come." "Didn't have to." "I wanted to." "Does your grandmother live here alone?" "About 2 years." "Its expensive." "It is, mom pays all the bills." "Visits her once a week, she's very devoted to grandma ." "Just can't do enough for her." "Very generous of her." "And very kind." "I always feel kind when I come here." "There we are, Mrs. Curtis." "Very good." "Hello, I'm Ann Curtis, Mrs. Curtis's granddaughter." "And this is Peter Proud." "I'm Miss." "Hegerson, we just having our lunch." "How are you grandma?" " How is she?" " About the same." "Your grndmother is very sweet." "She never gives us any trouble." "You never give us any trouble, do you dear?" "Look over here, you have company." "Isn't that nice?" "She doesn't know who you are of course." "But she's aware that some one else is in the room, but she has visitors." "Jeff." "Jeff." "Jeff." "Isn't that interesting?" "You know that she thinks you are her son." "She's never done this before now with anyone." "Where have you been?" "Why haven't you come to see me?" "Come on dear, sit down." "Have some more water." "I have to go right now." "Its all right." "Its all right." "Its all right." "Its all right, mother." "Mom, you wouldn't believe how great Pete was today." "You're great." "I mean, its so weird Pete was the son." "Anyway, you made the old lady very happy." "Why would my mother mistake you for Jeff?" "I don't understand, you don't look like Jeff, you don't talk like Jeff." "Believe me, I was as surprised as you are." "I mean, Why you?" "she has men going in there all the time" "She has doctors, and psychologists, attendants." "Men in and out of the room all the time why did she think you're my husband?" "Mother." "Mother." "I don't know why you are making such a big thing out of this." "Its probably quite simple." "She was probably dreaming about father when we came in." "And she assumed that Pete was father." "She doesn't recognise one person from another anyway." "Thats Crystal Lake." "Where my father drowned ." "I was still in the cottage." "I go there sometimes." "Just to be alone." "Shall we stop on it?" "I guess so." "Must have been aweful for him to die the way he did." "Thats the cottage." "Can we go in?" "Sure." "Mother has not been here since the accident." "Why doesn't she just sell it?" "How would probably adore and respect fathers memory?" "Come on Baby, I'm sorry." "No." " That was fun." " Yeah." "How did I do?" " Well... you're great." " Yeah." "Lets go for a ride." "OK." "I know a beautiful spot." " You drive, I'll show you the way." " OK." "Beautiful." "Mom told me dad used to bring her here." "Actually, he proposed her right over there." "I mean this in." "Just wait a second." "Maybe I better go." "No." "Please stay." "All that you know." "I'm sorry." "Don't be, its pretty routine." "She's been taking since I was a baby." "Got worse over the years." "She's sitting on them for hours and looking all those pictures on the wall." "She's let herself go." "She's stopped trying to take care of herself." "Probably we have to..." "Put her in a hospital." "Thats pretty worse." "The psychiatrist gave us the usual story." "Female alcoholic in todays society." "I know better." "Its him, my father." "She can't forget him." "She's so unhappy." "Ann, don't worry baby." "No baby, its all right." "Here this." " Hi Peter." " Sam." "How are you?" " Fine." "Where's the bar?" " There." "I want to hear everything" "I got a decent night sleep since the last time we talked." "Didn't you fly clear across the country to tell me that?" "Peter, I was picking up the tab." "There 's a two weeks seminar, I'll drive up from here." "My God, this pages the imagination." "Do you what you are a Prophet" "You be the founder of a whole new religión." " Aren't you exaggerating a little?" " Peter, you got to understand." "You have the opportunity to turn this whole damn world upside down." "Odf all the people in the world, Sam, Why me?" "I'm trying to think what will happen when people find out." "I mean, this worldwide shock and exeleration, and a mass release from fear." "There won't be this emptiness anymore the terrible feeling that what people do it all ends up in dust." "Death has always been the big joke and all other people realising won't get a second chance." "Like God is telling what might happen." "see what I got to do now." "Is to get it documented, get it all down and explode it like bomb." "Sam, I want to wait a while." "What for?" "Peter don't you realise what we got in our hands." "I just don't want to go public with it." "Not now" "For personal reasons." "I'm sure they are good one but we can't afford to wait." "We don't dare, man I have to say this but something can happen to you." "You can get hit by a truck tonight or have a heart attack and die tomorrow, you are the only living proof I have." "And I heard that Marcia Curtis is murderer too." "and I'll fulfil this whole thing apart." "I still want to wait." "Sam, those hallucinations have disappeared" "All except one." "The lake dreams keep coming back to me." "Well, I'll give you a standard educative guess." "When you play out of fantasy." "Go through it in reality it often disappears." "You've done that more or less in most of your dreams so they have gone away." "Oh, thank you Gus." "Too uneasy, how about a swim?" "Marcia." "Don't know what to say." "What I was doing." "I was drunk." "I love you Marcia, I always have." "No..." "No Marcia no!" "Pete!" "Pete!" "Pete!" "Pete!" "Pete." "Are you all right?" "Pete!" "Don't worry, I'm OK now." "I was dreaming." "You're shaking." "Are you sure?" "Mother!" "Mother!" "You're all right?" "Mother!" "Go away!" "Let me in." "Open the door, let me in." "Please Ann just go away." "I'm all right now." "I just want to rest for a while." "Mother." "All right." "I'll be in my room if you want to talk to me." "You fraud to me!" "You fraud me in my house!" "You made love to the woman there when I was having Anne in the hospital!" " You want it, don't you Marcia?" " No!" "Rape baby, rape." "I'm going to screw you." "I hate you!" "You bitch." "You rotten, stinking bastard." "You bastard." "Tell me Jeff." "Why did you do this to me?" "Because you bore me, you bitch." "I can't stand the sight of you." "Where are you going?" "Out, for a swim." "I'm go wash up your stink." " Sorry to keep you waiting, Sam." " No thats OK." "Specially asked you here what I have to say." " Like a drink?" " No." "Sam, I want this whole thing to die a secret between you and me." "I do not want to be Peter Proud super freak." "The only man in the world who has been proved that he died and was born again." "All I want is the life that I have now." "And I don't want to hurt anyone anymore." "Are you so fastidious, she is a murderess isn't she?" "There is Ann." "What do you think will happen to her if she found out about this?" "I love her Sam." "Shades of Sigmund Freud." "To hell with Freud." "All right, may be she was my daughter in some previous life but but she isn't now." "I'm going to marry her." " Just like that." " Just like that." "And Jeff Curtis is dead, may he rest in peace." "Long live Peter Proud." "I can't believe that one human being can be so selfish." "Selfish?" "Look, you are a one man revelation." "A living miracle." "You were chosen to deliver a message and you've decided to keep it to yourself." "Believe me Peter, I'm trying to understand how you feel but you owe the world what you know." "You don't belong to yourself anymore, you belong to everyone." "Especially you." "Isn't that what you're trying to say, Sam?" "OK." "Sure." "Especially me, I don't deny that." "I'm on the full professorship." "Im want the fame, I want the money." "I want to laugh at those sceptics who laughed at parapsychology and the whole psychic world." "Yeah, I want to see a millón books with my name on it." "Thats fine, Sam." "But I don't want to see mine." "Peter..." "Just think it over." "I have thought it over." "Look, I'm going to go after that lake and get rid of that last stream once and for all." "I'm sorry Sam." "Sure." "And look, I had used that drink now." "Mom?" "Mom?" "Mom?" "Mom?" "Who are you?" "You're not Peter Proud!" "You're somebody else sure." "You're no human sure, you're some kind of monster." "Why are you after me?" "I'm not after you." "Oh!" "you lair!" "You want to get me through Ann!" "Just leave us alone you bastard!" "Just leave us alone!" "Just leave us alone, leave me alone." "How...?" "How do you know?" "How did you know what we said out there in the water?" "How could you know?" "Because I was there!" "I was there!" "I was there!" "I was there!" "Hello?" "Operator?" "I like to leave a message for Peter Proud." "Right." "Would you tell him to call Ann Curtis?" "Yes, Yes, this number." "Thank you." "God damn who are you!" "You're not Peter Proud." "You're somebody else." "You're not even human, you're some kind of monster." "Some kind of monster." "Some kind of monster." "Tell me Jeff..." "Why did you do this to me?" "Because you bore me you bitch." "I can't stand the sight of you." " Where you going?" " Out for a swim." "I'm going to wash up your stink." "Why don't you stay where you are, Jeff?" "Why did you come back?" "You shouldn't have come back to torment me." "Marcia, please listen to me." "You're a monster Jeff." "Its not just me, its Ann." "You come back here and you seduced our daughter." "Our child." "Its not true." "You're father and you have screwed your own daughter." "She doesn't know who you are but I know who are." "Why make me do all over again?" "Damn you Jeff, why did you come back?" "Marcia." "No." "Marcia no!" "No!" "No Marcia, no!" "Subtitled by NESUPEN"
