The House Across the Street

Uh...

Actually...

Coming!

- Hey. - Hi.

I think...

Yeah, it's dry.

Yeah, so, um...

I wanna offer you the apartment.

Really? Oh, cool. I love it.

Good.

Yeah, I thought you did.

So you'll take it?

- Yeah, yeah. - Oh, good.

Great. That's good.

I'll go get you the lease.

- Will you take cash? - What's that?

Cash?

Um, yeah.

I mean, it's a little unusual, but I...

Yeah, yeah, I'll take cash.

Cool.

Yeah, I'll take anything right now.

Hold on. I'll get the... Hold on.

I'll just put on here that you paid...

in cash.

Here you go.

What brings you to this small town?

I... I just...

- Want a fresh start? - Yeah, yeah.

Just had to get out of there, you know?

Yeah, I know.

I guess my references checked out.

- No? - Well, I didn't...

I really didn't have to check them.

I just met you, and it felt right.

I, um, I don't know.

I guess I trust you.

Okay.

I mean, I think you're just perfect.

You're exactly what I was looking for.

So I have other properties that I run.

I got three other places, so I won't be around here much.

- Okay. - But if you ever need anything,

my number's right here.

You've got my number.

- Yeah. - Um, just call.

- Okay, thanks. - Yeah, of course.

Oh.

It's yours.

Welcome home.

Hi.

What's up?

What? A truck?

The truck with all my stuff in it?

Did you lock it?

Get out here! Come out!

Bring her!

I'm not afraid of you!

Come out!

I am not afraid of you!

I wanna see my daughter now!

Hey!

Hey, what are you doing? What happened?

Oh, my God. That's her mother.

Who?

Oh, boy. I knew her.

We gotta call an ambulance.

Whose mother?

Listen, you stay here. I'm gonna go get the ambulance.

Hey, you wanna get off the street?

What?

You're standing in the middle of the street.

You're gonna look into this, right?

All I have is someone who thinks they saw a hit-and-run.

You still have to report it.

You said you were inside when it happened,

so you didn't actually see what happened.

What, she just fell and hit her head?

If I have any further questions,

I know where to find you.

Oh, hi. I'm new.

I just moved in across the street.

Oh! Oh, you must be the new tenant.

Well, welcome to the neighborhood.

So I guess you live here?

No, no, no. I live down at the end of the street...

uh, cul-de-sac.

Well, who lives here then? I mean, I'm just wondering.

I just moved here.

Well, somebody lives there.

But you know, actually, I don't know if they do.

They're almost never around.

I gotta get down there to the bus stop, pick up my kids.

My name is Ned.

Someone got run over. A lady.

There was an old man. He said it was someone's mom.

Is that so?

Well, I gotta go.

Um, what was your name?

Amy.

Nice to meet you, Amy.

Hey, sweetie. Hope things are good at on your end.

And you're not gonna believe this,

but they have to special order that truck part.

They said a few days, more or less,

but don't worry about it.

I have a little surprise for you tonight.

All right, I'll call you later.

Oh, crap.

Good night, Bess.

You all set?

Hey, baby. Baby, it's me.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.

Joey, you bastard!

Jeez! I'm sorry!

Don't call me "baby."

What? Come on! I'm a joker. You know me.

You scared me.

I'm... I'm sorry, okay?

I apologize.

You could've told me you were coming.

I did tell you. I left you a message.

I said I was gonna bring you a surprise. It's me.

I brought your stuff.

Sorry.

Just...

I shouldn't have accepted your offer to help me to move.

Hey, it's not that big of a deal.

It's all right.

How did you get in here?

It was unlocked. I figured you were already here.

Don't do that.

I'm just looking.

"The area of Iguazu Falls,

where the countries of Argentina, Brazil,

and Paraguay meet,

is one of the best places in the world to see butterflies

in large variety and number."

- Why'd you underline that? - Give me the book.

That's a beautiful butterfly.

It's poisonous.

What are you doing?

There was a car, guy going to that house.

You gotta be kidding me.

There's something weird going on over there.

What is so weird about a guy coming home

in the middle of the night?

It's not his house.

So we're playing cops now?

I'm arresting you for disturbing the peace.

What are you doing up anyway?

You woke me up,

and I'm charging you with domestic disturbance.

Just don't get carried away.

All right, I'm sorry.

I still feel for you, okay?

Joey, this is what's best for me, okay?

I'm sorry you got caught up in the middle of the whole...

Amy, listen. Baby, look at me.

Look at me.

You need to forget about that trial, okay?

Hello!

Who are you? I'm sorry.

I'm Amy, the new tenant.

Oh, yeah.

You're the new tenant.

Oh, my.

Mary's in intensive care.

They don't think she will live.

Who's Mary?

You know, it's a shame.

You just moved here, and you had to see that.

Nothing like that ever happens here.

I know. I'm already liking it so much.

It's so quiet and peaceful here.

It's really... You'll really like it.

It's nice. It's... Nothing happens here.

It's quiet. Nice and quiet.

And a dead-end street. Yeah.

So you know everyone on the street?

Yeah.

Where are you from? I'm Sam. Sam Barnes.

Oh, hi. Amy.

Yeah. You just moved here?

I'm moving here from Kansas.

Oh, Kansas. I was there once.

I didn't like it very much.

Boring.

Nothing to do out there.

So do you know who lives in that house?

No, I'm sorry. I can't quite remember.

See, my memory isn't what it used to be.

So you don't know them?

No, no.

Oh, my wife.

She wants you to come over and have lunch.

I told her all about you, and she wants to meet you.

Okay, I will, I promise.

Oh. Excellent.

So who's Mary?
